Marshalls’ “So Cute” $13 Clamshell Lamp Is Going Viral on TikTok (and Flying Off Shelves!)

I've been a full-time journalist since 2023, but my experience in the field goes back further. I graduated magna cum laude from NYU's Gallatin School of Individualized Study, where I developed my own major called Culture Writing and Criticism. While working my way up to Editor-in-Chief at the school blog, I earned a number of bylines at TV Guide Magazine, CNN, Decider, and Texas Monthly. At those publications, I mostly focused on art and entertainment. However, I’ve always loved shopping, writing reviews, and service journalism — which is what led me to giving commerce writing a try as an intern at CNN Underscored. There, I had a ton of fun producing beauty and fashion shopping stories, which ended up preparing me for my work as AT's commerce editorial assistant. I’ve long been passionate about interior design and taken pride in the appearance of my space, whether it was my dorm room or my first tiny studio. Exploring that interest professionally has been a dream, and I love thinking about a product from every angle and figuring out if it's really worth it. As someone who was recently on a student budget and works with a small living space, I especially like to find and share items that are compatible with that lifestyle. In my eyes, a great product equally delivers on style and function, ideally at an affordable price point.

Leave it to TikTok to make me want to run to Marshalls ASAP. A few weeks ago, the brand’s gorgeous tulip-shaped lamp got hundreds of thousands of likes on the app, and I fell in love with it at first sight. Unsurprisingly, it’s happened yet again. Another nature-inspired lamp from Marshalls has become a major hit with consumers, although it differs from the tulip one, as it has a more nautical vibe. (Coastal Grandmother, anyone?)

Yep, that’s a clamshell-shaped lamp with a light-up pearl on the inside. I’m right there with all of the commenters saying that they need it immediately. You could make a trip to your local Marshalls to see if this $13 gem is in stock, but it’s safe to say this beauty is vanishing from shelves. While the lamp isn’t available on Marshalls’ online store, I found a near-identical version on Amazon, and users say it’s “amazing.” Find out why below!

What Is the IMIKEYA Shell Pearl Light LED Accent Lamp?

The perfect addition to your nightstand or bookshelf, this portable lamp will make a statement even when it’s switched off. The glowing pearl lies within a ceramic shell that has an iridescent tint, so light will bounce off of the exterior, too. Even though it’s compact, its pearlescent appearance will stand out — especially in the pink color TikTok loves. (You can also go with white if you have a more neutral decor style.) The most noteworthy feature, however, is the removable pearl. You can adjust its placement and even take it out entirely, leaving the shell open for jewelry storage. You can also grab the pearl and take it with you as a night light, allowing you to keep the overhead lights off during late trips to the kitchen or bathroom. It’s ingenious!

What Amazon Shoppers Are Saying

Average Rating: 4.4/5

“If I could give six stars I would. It’s a good quality and has weight. Looks more expensive than it was and gives off just the right amount of light in a warm tone. LOVE IT.” —Candice

“Soft pastel is not at all my style, but I kept coming back to this cute little glowy lamp. I ended up getting it and it looks amazing in my dark purple and silver glam room. It fits right in and lets out a soft glow that looks amazing in my room. I highly recommend giving this a shot if you aren’t sure if this is your style or not.” —Kindle Customer

“I needed a little night light in our guest bathroom but didn’t want just a regular plug-in night light. (So boring!) I wanted something cute and unique and this was perfect! Look how adorable it looks! Trust me, you need one of these! It makes me smile every time I see it! And don’t we all need to smile more?” —Marge Michaels

Although shoppers say that it’s not the brightest lamp in the world, the soft glow will add to the ambiance of your space, as will the overall design. Plus, you get two items for the price of one: a stunning light source and a jewelry tray!
