‘dining In’ Cookbook
Um, is that our absolute favorite cookbook (in hardcover form!) for literally half the price? T.J.Maxx, we love you.
Faux Orchid
Spending $20 a week on year-round fresh flowers may not fit into your budget, but we’re sure this gorgeous white fabric orchid does.
Velvet Office Chair
Working all day sounds like a glorious plan if we can cozy up in this chair. Yep, someone is about to be sittin’ pretty. Real pretty.
Bedside Lamps
Two for the price of one? Say no more.
Gold Bar Cart
Next time you’re pouring a glass of your favorite merlot, do it in style with this Gatsby-inspired gold-tone bar cart. Your guests are guaranteed to be impressed.
Accent Plates
Shhh. No one has to know that this set of plates didn’t come from a fancy-shmancy exhibit during Art Basel.
Faux Succulents
We know you’ve walked past those snazzy plant stores and sighed over the price of a terrarium. Seventy-five dollars? Yeah, right. Behold, T.J.Maxx offers a near identical (maintenance-free)one for a fraction of the price.
Honeycomb Vase
Anytime you add a bit of gold to a utilitarian object, you have our attention. P.S. We may splurge and buy two—one for each nightstand—and place those adorable white fabric orchids inside.
Everyday Mixer
We will gladly whip up a cake for any occasion if we can use a sleek (and ridiculously cheap) mixer like this.
Metallic Pillow
This here packs a triple punch: Looks like a fancy piece of art, serves as a stylish accent piece and is seriously cozy. It’s an all-around win.
