1. A retro radio tissue holder so old-timey precious that you'll be a little bit?? EXCITED??? For allergy season??? Because you'll get to spend quality time with your favorite piece of home decor. 🎵
Psst — this is compatible with tissues from a small cube box, or just tissues pulled out of the box, not a full size one!
Promising review: "It's adorable! I currently have it filled with tissues from a small cube box. Works great! Perfect addition to my teal and gold bedroom decor!" —Michelle W.
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in three colors).
2. A retro-style smoothie maker that honestly has a lot of audacity being that cute AND that functional?? It blends in either a LITERAL MASON JAR or a plastic portable sports bottle you can pop right off and drink from. But don't you dare underestimate this cute little bean — it can crush ice and blend frozen fruit like nobody's business.
Promising review: "Wow. I have been through many high end blenders that have broken or just didn’t cut it. Well, I am so amazed at this blender. Perfect size for my smoothies and so easy to use. I love how you simply twist on the lid and turn it on. It blends so nicely and doesn’t leave my protein powder on the sides like my old blenders do. It crushed ice and blends up to a perfect consistency. I’ve never written a review on here before but I am amazed at this!! Not to mention it’s so cute on the counter!" –Casey
Get it from Amazon for $34.98 (available in two colors).
3. A portable Bluetooth retro-style keyboard to instantly fashion your tablet into a chic mini laptop when you're on the move. You're about to make a *lot* of friends at Starbucks asking you where you got this little gem.
Promising review: "I've been seeing retro-style typewriter keyboards on TikTok for a while now. I aways thought, 'That looks pretty cool!' Decided to look on here and found this one. I just got it today and so far has been working great! I had no problems connecting the keyboard via Bluetooth, and the clicking of the keys is really nice, one of the reasons why I wanted to get this." —dee
Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in 11 colors).
4. A pair of retro-inspired smiley face slippers because, in the words of all those plucky orphans in Annie, you're never fully dressed without a smile!! Reviewers love these super plush, durable slippers for putting a literal ~pep in their step~ at the beginning of the day.
Promising review: "So comfy, so worth it. I have been eyeing these slippers for some time and finally ordered them. When they arrived, they were in a vacuum sealed bag and I was concerned and confused because they felt so hard. As soon as I removed them from the packaging, they fluffed up and felt sooo comfortable. They’re soft and feel great especially with the rubber sole!" —Natasha
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in women's sizes 5–12 and five colors).
5. A strawberry milk carton vase to remind you of the good ole days when the milkman dropped off milk at your door every week instead of you squinting at seven kinds of oat, almond, and electromagnetic force milk in the fridge aisle every week. (I made that last one up ... but for how long????)
6. A set of Barbie martini glasses that were featured in the iconic film, so now you can dissociate from the end of a long week of Capitalism (TM) by pretending you took a car (and a space ship and a bike and a snowmobile) to Barbieland.
Dragon Glassware is a family-owned, California-based small business that specializes in custom glassware.
Promising review: "These are wonderful. Feels great in my hand. All glass. Beautiful colors. Would also make a great gift. The Barbie logo is on the bottom of the glass. Recommended to be hand washed." —K. Scott
Get a set of two from Amazon for $34.99 (also available in clear and iridescent colors).
7. A nostagia-inducing mini popcorn maker so *everything* in your kitchen is popping — not just the corn, but the adorable color scheme.
This gizmo pops up to 12 cups of cooked popcorn at a time — just make sure to have a bowl under it to catch it!
Promising review: "Great popcorn maker. Just make sure you have a large container in front of it when the popcorn starts flowing. Very easy to operate and awesome item in a retro theme kitchen." —Sassy Dimple
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in three colors).
8. A sandproof, waterproof checkered picnic blanket for all your whimsical beach days and impromptu park picnics. Each of these can fit two to four adults, plus it folds up with a lil' carrier handle for easy transport!
Promising review: "My girlfriend and I had a lovely picnic together at the beach using this blanket. The two of us easily fit on this mat with plenty of room for our lunchbox and other items. It is rigid enough to not press into the sand, yet comfortable to sit on. It matches my picnic lunchbox design, which is part of why I chose this blanket. Sand was easy to brush off, and folds neatly." —DS
Get it from Amazon for $14.95+ (available in three styles and two sizes).
9. A glamorous (but delightfully lightweight!) vintage-style luggage set, because the airport is nothing if not a stage for you to pretend you're a 1940s movie star who fell out of a time machine.
Each set comes with a rolling suitcase with telescoping handles and a matching briefcase.
Promising review: "If you’re debating whether to get them, do it! They look far more high-end than the price you pay for them, and they’re sturdier than I’d hoped. My daughter also has a set in another color, and she flew to and from Hawaii with them (and their covers) with success. I can’t say enough good things about this set. In fact, I plan to purchase the larger piece for air travel, now that I know that they hold up well, and are roomy and secure." —Lance and Yolanda
Get it from Amazon for $209+ (available in three sizes and 11 colors).
10. A handy, aesthetically pleasing kitchen measurement conversion magnet for the avid baker who is like, "Avoiding math, but make it fashion." This pretty little magnet will make sure your pretty little head doesn't have to break itself with equations the next time you bake.
Levain & Co is a small business that specializes in kitchen conversion charts and kitchen tools.
Promising review: "I bake often (following recipes on the internet) and usually have to convert some of the ingredient amounts. I’m glad I got this — super helpful, especially because it has the conversions for different ingredients. It’s also very cute! It’s not too big either which is a plus." —Jasmine
Get it from Amazon for $11.95.
11. A pair of bell bottoms that are — thank the denim gods — decidedly coming back into style mid-2023. This is *the* pair to snag, according to reviewers who can't get enough of the chic, comfy elastic high waist!
Promising review: "LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! I am a big fan of flare/bell bottom jeans. I loved them back in the '90s and early '00s and I still love them. I was a little apprehensive to buy these because of the elastic waist but I did it anyways, and bought two pair because I need flares back in my life again. Once I tried them on, the elastic was out of my mind. They are a little long but that's how I like my jeans. Favorite jeans ever. I will wear them probably every single day this fall and winter season. And spring as well. Probably summer too. Buy them. You won't regret it." —Shell
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in women's sizes S–4XL and 28 colors/washes).
12. A pair of cat-eye sunglasses for an instant edge to any outfit that says, "I'm the main character of this sidewalk now, buster." (Or possibly say, "Yeah, I bought these after seeing Margot Robbie wear a pair in Barbie, what of it??")
Promising review: "I don’t like the larger shades, so these are perfect for me. The lenses are not so dark that they distort what I am looking at. I love the design look without the designer price." —Lydia Harrison
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in nine styles).
13. An absurdly precious electric can opener/knife sharpener that will become the quiet MVP of your kitchen when you need it, and a subtle aesthetic HERO sitting pretty on the counter when you don't.
Promising review: "I was looking for a basic simple can opener with a bit of style…this one is it! Works very well, opens cans smoothly. Also the color is perfect!" —Jennifer Cooley
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in seven colors).
14. A retro-style 3-in-1 toaster so adorable that you might take for granted that it is also QUITE MIGHTY, with a two-slot toaster, a mini non-stick griddle, and a capacity to cook six (!!) eggs at a time. Both the toast *and* the machine are popping off.
Promising review: "After three previous toasters my wife finally has found one she loves, yeah!!! We live in a tiny house and this is an awesome little appliance. The hard boiled egg function is by far the simplest and best you will ever find. Very well packaged for shipping and received quickly. Perfect match for our other retro appliances." —Old school
Get it from Amazon for $59.99.
15. A vintage-style denim backpack to give off a real "I'm in a coming of age film trying to find myself, making a ragtag group of friends along the way" vibe to your look. Or, you know, give you a cute place to stash your odds and ends on the way to work.
Promising review: "I had a difficult time finding a backpack for overnight stays and day trips. I didn't need laptop storage, just a few clothes and toiletries. I finally found this denim backpack which is perfect. Just the right size and room for my needs. The only improvement I'd like is slightly larger outside side pockets. It can be done, but it's a struggle to get a water bottle in them." —jayares
Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in 39 styles).
16. A mini tabletop fan so you can stay cool literally *and* figuratively while plugging away at your desk. This cutie has two speeds and tilts so you can get the air flow at the precise angle you need, and gives off just enough of a steady hum for a soothing vibe at night.
Promising review: "Got this for my office, as our HVAC is temperamental. It has two speeds to choose from, and I find both not overly loud. It gives a decent breeze and helps fight off the heat and stuffiness on the days that the AC is not up to par. It's a good compact size, and I love the retro styling. It fits perfectly on my desk. I kept going back and forth as to whether or not to buy it. I'm so glad I did! It's been a lifesaver many times over." —bvegan
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in seven styles).
17. A hinge-top bread box, because it is imperative to protect the carbs at all costs. Doing it in style is just common courtesy, after all the magical things carbs do for us every day.
18. A set of three classic KitchenAid mixing bowls in a timeless pistachio color that come in sizes to suit all your baking and mixing needs. And yes, while it's important that these are sturdy and have gripping rubber bottoms and will last a long time, it's also important that these will also fit in with your "I'm the main character baking on a Sunday" aesthetic, which, of course, they do with ease.
19. A set of pinup fridge magnets, because that jury duty summons letter? Boring and bad. That jury duty summons letter held up on the fridge by someone flexing the cutest stockings you ever did see? ... Still boring and bad, but CUTE!!
Promising review: "Wanted to add vintage sass to my kitchen. Perfect for my fridge! Family and friends love them." —T. Johnson
Get a set of 12 from Amazon for $9.49.
20. A tulip outdoor chair to add a sweet nostalgic touch to your porch and an excellent lounging spot when you want to wile away the summer hours with iced tea in hand.
Check out a TikTok of the tulip chair in action.
Crosley is a US-based small business that specializes in retro-style record players and furniture.
Promising review: "I love these chairs. They are very sturdy and I love how they look on my porch. Also, they remind me of the chairs that were on my grandparents' front porch in the 1950s and '60s." —Tina A. Smith
Get it from Amazon for $161.08+ (available in three styles).
21. A cherry-embroidered cardigan so cute that you'll black out and accidentally organize an entire sock hop in your local gym just for the opportunity to show it off.
Promising review: "Super soft, high quality sweater with real buttons!! It’s a '50s style cut so perfect for high waisted jeans/pencil skirt or with a black tank top and skinny jeans with wedges. Very good quality!!" —April
Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in women's sizes S–3XL and 21 styles).
22. A set of vinyl coasters to give your coffee table a delightfully retro touch *and* protect it from the perils of condensation.
Promising review: "I absolutely adore these!!! They are so cute and definitely do the job! They keep the surface free from water rings and make me giggle!" —johnny williams
Get a set of six from Amazon for $6.99.
23. A quick-heating Fellow electric kettle as handy as it is beautiful — its chic gooseneck is designed for an optimum flow rate for pourovers, its temperature settings will let you get *highly* specific about how warm you want the water too be, and you can toggle the base to keep the water at the precise temp you want for up to an hour.
Promising review: "We waffled about getting this kettle. Surely the cheapie electric one we had would do the trick for amateur pour-over enthusiasts? No. Wrong. This is superior in every aspect. The temperature holding feature is amazing — no more heating up the water, forgetting you started, and having to heat it up again. Definitely more consistent in temperature, creating more consistent cups of coffee." —Emily A.
Get it from Fellow for $195 (available in 13 colors and styles) or from Amazon for $165+ (available in seven styles).
24. A cute little retro-inspired clock to give your wall such a chic upgrade that next time you're running out of time you'll quite literally be ~fashionably~ late.
25. Plus a sweet little bedside alarm clock worth buying not just for the ~aesthetic~, but to set an alarm that ISN'T your phone, so you aren't tempted to start your day getting sucked into a TikTok-Instagram-whatever we're calling Twitter this week black hole before you even get out of bed.
Promising review: "Small, cute, functional clock. It’s simple and user-friendly. Great for travel or to use at home. It emits no ticking sound, perfect for those who need silence at night, and has a standard beep alarm. I’ve used it as a bedside alarm clock and have found it to be accurate. I’ve used it simply to display in the living room as well, because it looks great anywhere! It’s only downside is there doesn’t seem to be a light/glowing hands to determine the time in the dark if needed, which can be helpful if you’re using it as a bedside alarm. Otherwise, it’s a great clock." —Kinsey Maneval
Get it from Amazon for $20.61+ (available in three colors).
26. A retro tile undated planner so cute that you'll actually have no choice but to get your life in order, because this is going *everywhere* with you.
This two-year planner not only has monthly pages, but spots for each day that you can plan down to the *half hour*. Time to show the time-space continuum who's boss.
Get it from Anthropologie for $38.
27. An oh-so-sweet reusable bowl cover to inspire you to make all your coziest meals so you can stash the leftovers as aesthetically as possible. These environmentally-friendly covers are machine washable and also super handy for bread proofing!
Stacy Kitchen Decor is a California-based, woman-owned Etsy shop established in 2020 that specializes in handmade reusable kitchen towels, aprons and bags.
Promising review: "Love this bowl cover! It fits perfectly and looks so beautiful. It’s also sturdy, as I’ve washed it by hand and all the daisies are intact. I also appreciate the seller's prompt communication." —Nicoco
Get it from Stacy Kitchen Decor on Etsy for $11.98+ (originally $17.12+; available in seven sizes and custom sizes, plus five patterns).
28. A decorative ceramic lips holder for your jewelry or makeup to add a little retro pop to your vanity or entryway table that is most definitely Red-era Taylor Swift-approved.
Promising review: "I love this as I’m getting into my super pink era. 💅🏼 It’s a nice weight and not easily breakable. It holds a lot of knickknacks too, from lipsticks to trinkets. I also think it’s really cute. Going to get a number of these to put around my home." —Agusta
Get it from Amazon for $13.96+ (available in five shades).
29. An Igloo Retro Duffel Bag Cooler you are morally obligated to stuff to the brim with Capri Suns, Pop-Tarts, Lunchables, and any other nostalgic nonsense your '80s/'90s kid heart desires.
This features an insulated liner to keep snacks warm or cold, and can hold up to 24 12-ounce cans.
Get it from Urban Outfitters for $72.
30. A velvet accent chair to answer the question of "What if the furniture in the Mad Men office was actually cute?" Bonus: reviewers say it's super easy to assemble.
Promising review: “This chair is the cutest and is really comfortable too. Dusty pink color is exactly like in picture and fabric is super soft. Easy assembly — took probably 10 minutes. It shipped really fast too!” —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $148.89+ (available in seven colors and two fabrics).
31. A set of vintage-inspired glass mugs reviewers love to use for everything from coffee to yogurt parfaits to oatmeal to add a subtle little Great Gatsby-esque touch to their morning routines.

Get a set of two from Amazon for $15.99 (available in six styles).
32. A charming Mason jar-themed measuring set complete with stackable measuring cups, measuring spoons, and a little spoon rest. This is essentially what happens when the millennial aesthetic and the rustic kitchen aesthetic have a functional kitchen bb.
Goodscious is a small business specializing in home goods and personal care items.
Promising review: "I was very excited to receive this set, I thought it was so cute and would be the perfect addition to my kitchen. It arrived in a neat little box full of styrofoam to accommodate each piece, so nothing was broken during shipping. The spoons were tied together with a cute little ribbon. The cups stack well and sit neatly on the countertop. I am very pleased with this set." —Macy Deel
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four colors).
33. A retro-style pixel art game Bluetooth speaker so beloved by reviewers that a ton of them are gifting it to loved ones. It serves not just a speaker, but as a tiny canvas to make your own pixel art, a game console, an alarm clock, and even a white noise machine. Oh — and any designs you make on the pixel art screen can dance along to the music you play!
Here's what BuzzFeeder Jenae Sitzes has to say about it: "I saw this exact Bluetooth speaker in probably dozens of TikToks before I picked one up myself, and I honestly can't recommend it enough if you like a cutesy aesthetic. The price might seem high for something that kind of sounds like a toy, but the second you pick it up, it's clear this is a high-quality piece of tech with a ton of functionality. Its speakers are powerful, its screen is bright and vibrant, and the companion app is simply packed with all sorts of customization options. There's programmable RGB lighting under the keyboard keys (which are real buttons), and you can pick from a ton of different clock faces as well!"
Get it from Amazon for $84.91+ (clip the 20% off coupon on the product page for this price; available in five colors).
34. A quilted floral oven mitt, because brownies just plain taste better when they're getting scooped out of the oven as chic-ly as possible, I don't make the rules.
35. A gold decorative mirror so versatile it'll make the rest of your room's decor feel a lil' self-conscious. This vintage-style piece is perfect as a catch-all for jewelry and makeup, a gallery wall, or just a standalone mirror on the wall for checking out your cute self on your way out the door.
Check out a TikTok of the mirror in action.
Promising review: "The mirror looks exactly like the pictures and was an absolute STEAL. So glad I found this. It's the perfect size for me to easily see my shoulders from just holding it an arms length away! It's super lightweight, so don't worry about it being too heavy for the nail. It came completely undamaged! Looks super vintage and great for doing hairstyles and makeup in! It can also be a jewelry dish if you're into that kind of thing." —Rhonda Farias
Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in gold or white, and in two-packs).
36. A set of Coca-Cola pepper and salt shakers you should only buy if you're fully prepared to start whipping up grilled cheeses and burgers for neighbors who start mistaking your kitchen for a beloved local diner. (Extra fries with that, please.)
37. A plush velvet vintage-inspired ottoman that'll serve not just as a sweet accent to any room, but also give you some ~sneaky storage~ to help declutter and calm your space.
Another bonus? If you flip the lid over, it has a wooden base, so you can *also* use this as a teensy snack table. I recently got one of these for my new apartment to stash my candles and ~candle accessories~ in and it's pretty much become my favorite piece of furniture?? I use it to prop up my feet during work hours and sometimes if I want to eat on my couch I'll use it as a tray. It's also sturdy enough to sit on, if I ever wanted to have guests over and needed an extra chair. It was RIDICULOUSLY easy to set up — I had it done in less than 10 minutes, and probably didn't even need the directions. It also just looks so darn cute (and comes in so many colors that I'm tempted to buy another!).
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in six colors).
