Summer has finally arrived, and with it comes sunshine, outdoor fun, and plenty of entertaining. And just as much as I love a summer party, I also love cute, on-theme seasonal decor.
Admittedly, one of my favorite places to get summer decor inspo is none other than TikTok. My “For You Page” is filled with the latest T.J. Maxx and Target decor finds, which is a blessing if I can get to the store before the hordes of other TikTokers! I’ve acquired some of my favorite kitchen supplies, like these jars and glass canisters, thanks to the viral video app.
So when I recently came across these impossibly chic seashell glasses from HomeGoods, I knew they’d become a staple of my summer tablescape. The video from TikTok creator Kathy Ibrahim has over 265,000 views with comments ranging from “so cute” to “obsessed.” And I couldn’t agree more!
And while I should probably be working on being “de-influenced” from TikTok, I couldn’t help but try and get my hands on these gorgeous clam-shaped cups. Each one has a built-in lid that opens and closes just like a real clam. This design also means that you can use these dainty ocean-inspired cups for so many different purposes, like serving treats and finger foods or storing jewelry and trinkets.
The cups are just $4.99 each and come in pink, turquoise, and blue — which all feel perfect for the tropical mermaid aesthetic that seems to be very in this summer. I personally envision myself using the whimsical coupes, adorned with dainty ribbons and finger foods like shrimp cocktail or charcuterie filled to the brim, at a themed party. I could also imagine using one as a jewelry box on my nightstand or in the bathroom to hold earrings or rings. The possibilities are truly endless!

If you don’t live near a HomeGoods or your store is out of stock, don’t stress! There are plenty of similarly cute and affordable options out there. While these gorgeous cups from Etsy might have a more literal take on seashell glassware, they give off the same whimsical aesthetic as the HomeGoods coupes.
If you’re looking for something larger with a similar vibe, this shell-shaped punch bowl is also a fun option! However you decide to live out your mermaid dreams, incorporating a little piece of paradise into your home will make every day feel like a summer vacay.
