32 things that’ll make you happy for all of 2023

The past couple of years have been rough to say the least, but we’re leaving that chaotic energy behind and welcoming good vibes in the year ahead. If you’re like us,

you’re looking to surround yourself with positivity — whether that be fun things that make you happy, picking up meditation or even reconnecting with the people you surround

yourself with. For the bits of joy money can buy, we’ve rounded up some items we truly think will brighten your day. Keep reading to check them out — and wishing you all the

best in 2023. You might still be wary of congregating in theaters to watch the newest movie release. Recreate that experience at home with a portable projector like this one for

a fun date or night in. Heated potato slippers are what you didn’t know you needed in 2023. Just plug these bad boys into any USB port to keep your feet warm while you relax.

Does some shower karaoke seem to do the trick when you’re down? Put this waterproof Bluetooth speaker in your bathroom to sing your troubles away. You’ve probably seen this

pan all over your Instagram feeds, and for good reason; we tried it and loved it ourselves. The Always Pan can take the place of a whopping eight cooking devices (from a spoon

rest to a steamer), and arguably most importantly, it will look ultra chic in any kitchen. Just check out those colors! Reminiscing about the good ol’ days is sure to put a smile

on your face, right? Grab this candle to remind you of Grandma’s warm apple pie whenever you need to feel close to home. One of the reasons we love subscription services is

because it’s always nice to have something to look forward to every month. Gift yourself or someone you love a floral delivery from Urban Stems to add some color and fresh air

to the home on a regular basis. Mood lighting is essential to winding down, especially after a long day. Opt for this ambient light in the shape of an adorable soup dumpling to

make you smile each time you turn it on. A good yoga mat, like this one that we named the best yoga mat of the year, will make you more excited for your yoga practice each day. We

love it because it's dual-sided, with a smooth and sticky polyurethane-coated top side and a textured natural rubber bottom side that provides loads of traction. Beyond that,

though, we also loved that the mat is slightly oversized and provides ample cushion given its 5-millimeter thickness. Planning your days can go a long way to keeping a positive

attitude. This one from Ban.do is especially good at making you smile thanks to its bright and gorgeous design. If you’re looking for more planner ideas, check out our full
