I’ve been a shopping editor for over a decade, a period in which Amazon has come to occupy more and more of the shopping landscape and, thus, my work. For better or worse, it’s made me quite talented at navigating Amazon and unearthing itshidden gems— things I genuinely recommend.

My current fascination is theInternet Famousshop, which seems to station all the viral products in one place. This is cool because if you don’t follow CleanTok, YardTok, or FashionTok, you can simply head to Amazon to find all the hidden gems compiled in one place. Although it’s not very easy to navigate, that’s where I come in.

I scoured Amazon’s Internet Famous section forviral home goodsI would actually buy and found a set of linen curtains, a picture frame, a portable lamp, a blanket, a candle warmer, marble book ends, and more. In true Amazon fashion, everything is on sale, with some items up to 44 percent off. My finds start at just $9 and top out at $57, so you don’t have to spend a ton to treat yourself to a little spring home refresh.

Warmtree Vintage Decorative Tray, $9 (Save 44%)

Amazon

$16$9 at Amazon

Despite my attempts to create a grown-up home that’s tasteful and refined, my inner child occasionally tweaks at unabashedly girly bows, cherubs, and ribbons. This $9 tray just makes me smile, and that’s what the objects around your home should do, regardless of their pedigree. I’d use it on my dresser for odds and ends, or in the bathroom to hold my beauty supplies.

H.Versailtex Tab Top Curtain Panels, Set of 2, $20 (Save 29%)

$28$20 at Amazon

Lawrence Frames Bamboo Frame, $24 (Save 41%)

$41$24 at Amazon

I can’t believe the price of this frame, so it immediately went straight into my cart. I don’t know what I’ll put in it yet, but I do know that I’m picking it up while it’s on sale. I love the slim but dimensional design of the bamboo and the way it refracts light. It would look great with a black-and-white photo.

Songmics Jewelry Box

$26 at Amazon

I’ve been on the hunt for a better way to store jewelry and accessories, and this might be it. I love that the jewelry box is deep enough to store long necklaces and that some of the compartment dividers can be moved around so you can fit a number of items — some even as big as sunglasses!

Koville Marble Bookends, $33 with coupon

$35$33 at Amazon

I’d like to take my books from vertical stacks to horizontal rows and the only thing stopping me is proper book ends (a previous attempt with plastic book ends did not succeed). At 7 pounds, these marble book ends should do the trick. I like the sleek arched style, too, which feels trendy and something I know will suit my design tastes for a long time.

O’Bright Portable LED Table Lamp in Matte Black, $33 (Save 18%)

$40$33 at Amazon

I have something similar to this (I thinkmine is cuter, but I’m biased), but this version isactuallyin stock. I love it for after sundown when my pseudo biohacker night routine kicks in and I’m trying to keep artificial light to a minimum. I keep it on the dimmest setting but bump it up temporarily if needed. Plus, I appreciate that I can move it from my desk to the coffee table to the bedside table depending on what I’m up to. Like mine, this Internet Famous find offers three levels of brightness and can be plugged in or works cable-free once charged.

Lifetowe Candle Warmer Lamp, $24 (Save $6)

$30$24 at Amazon

Candle lamps came on my radar last March while editinga story on one that went viral on TikTok. I don’t know why I haven’t bought one yet — they’re brilliant because they indefinitely extend the life of your fancy scented candles.

The heat from the lamp warms your scented candle’s wax so the aroma is released without reducing any of the wax (like with lighting the wick). Once it cools back down, all the wax remains intact and you can repeat the process. So when you splurge on a favorite candle, you can enjoy it for much longer than if you lit it the traditional way! That’s absolutely worth $34 to me.

Phf Lightweight Cotton Blanket, $46 (Save 35%)

$67$46 at Amazon

“We” — my partner, our dog, and I — upgraded from a queen to a king mattress and, for some reason, I bought a stark white duvet cover that makes no sense for a pet owner. I love the off-black color of this lightweight blanket, and at just $44, the price is right. My dog can shed on this, and then we can pop it in the wash while we sleep under a pristine duvet. Problem solved!

StonePlus Marble Vanity Tray

$59 at Amazon

This vanity tray would look so good in the kitchen holding olive oil, salt, spices, and a container with cooking utensils. It would be nice on a coffee table, too, to stylishly corral remotes, coasters, and other odds and ends.

Head toAmazon’s Internet Famoussection to explore the plethora of viral products, then make sure to checkout quickly to grab our picks while prices are discounted.
