A-list Hollywood may be a world away for most of us, but there’s at least one small piece of Oscars luxury we can actually bring home ourselves. In this year’s Oscars swag bag is a $50 lamp that can make any room a lot more glamorous, and you don’t have to go to the awards show to get one.

If you put glow-in-the-dark stars on your ceiling when you were a kid, the BlissLights Sky Lite Laser Galaxy Projector has a similar but much more dramatic effect. The lamp throws lights shaped like stars and nebulas across the room, where they not only land on the walls and ceiling but also appear to hover in the air, so you can feel like you’re floating among the stars, not just looking up at them. 

“Use either SKY as a unique night light, enjoy dining under the stars, create a relaxing spa, or accent your home and entertainment areas!” recommends BlissLights.

“I’m totally addicted to this thing. If I’m going to spend a significant amount of time in a room I’ll bring it with me. It’s great for really anything, even watching tv or enjoying a magical bath. It’s quite beautiful and relaxing,” writes one reviewer on Amazon. “Pro tip: try placing candles or other warm, soft light near the wall and center the projector on it. Creates some very pretty magenta and purple colors, and it looks even more like a nebula.”

Other reviewers have called it “mesmerizing,” “calming,” “a great gift for anyone,” and “one of those drunken amazon purchases which I really liked!” What higher praise can you ask for?
