We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · "They are identical to the Chanel shoes, but obviously at a fraction of the cost." —One reviewer 1. A simple long-sleeve bodysuit because you *need* your basics to build 'fits. IDK about you, but ~I~ need one in every color. One TikToker even did the research to find that this fabric blend is the same as Skims 🤯😱. Spectacular, give me 14 of 'em right now. Promising review: "Are you kidding me? This is the softest, most comfortable body suit I've ever owned. I got so many compliments lol; everyone did think they were Skims lol, but it's definitely worth every penny. I love it and will be getting more colors!!! You need it." — Wendy L Get it from Amazon for $24.64 (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 14 colors). And check out all the styles available in the Smoke Cloud fabric here. 2. Slingback heels because, ooooh, look how gorgeous! These are drool-worthy, and if you think they look a bit familiar, it's definitely cuz they could pass as the Chanel pair. Now, you can get the look without having to spend an entire paycheck. Promising reviews:"Love these sandals. I bought them for a black and beige dress, thinking I'd be limited to only those matching colors. After receiving and trying them on — they looked perfect with jeans, too! My feet are not narrow but not wide either. The fit is perfect on my size 8 feet, which are usually in sneakers. Dressing up in these sandals will present an elegant vibe and be comfortable, too!! I love the look it gives my feet! Dress it up, dress it down, and easy wearing — my go-to sandals now!!" — Mrs.D "These shoes fit true to size and are very comfortable. I love the design and color combo. They are identical to the Chanel shoes, but obviously at a fraction of the cost." — Cherice Villasana Get them from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–12 and six colors). 3. A pair of oversize fleece cargo joggers that'll have you making up errands just so you can throw 'em on. They're made from a scrumptiously soft cotton blend and they have pockets juuust like the $55 Nike ones. Promising review: "These are AMAZING!! 100% a Nike alternative! Even after repeated washes, the color hasn't faded, nor have they shrunk. I got an XL, and they fit perfectly. Just the way I wanted them to! They are definitely oversized, so if you don't like that look, then these probably aren't for you. I will be ordering more!" — Sarah Simpson Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in women's sizes S–XL and four colors). 4. A chic vegan leather shoulder bag because your pockets are preventing your dreams of having a Bottega Veneta bag from coming true at the moment. This will give the luxury vibes without the luxury price and then one day when you're a billionaire (manifesting this for you and me both) you can drop a mortgage payment on a designer bag. But for now, you can give boujie with this baddie. Promising review:"I ordered this because I wanted a bag that was big enough for my new iPad. I also didn't want to spend a fortune because I didn't want to be scared to carry it around with me and 'mess it up,' you know? It came very nicely packaged, and all of the individual hardware components and straps were wrapped well. The leather itself is very good quality! Once upon a time, I worked in a designer handbag department of a fancy store, and I can say the quality of the bag itself is pretty comparable to something in the $300–$500 range. It's a really nice bag for a very fair price!" — Lindsay Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in six styles). 5. A bottle of Elizavecca hair treatment that contains ceramides and collagen that'll give your hair shine and make it smooth in just five minutes! Keeping you flawless even if you don't have much time or don't feel like doing your hair. Plus, I hear this stuff has Olaplex shaking. Simply apply it on wet hair after a shampoo, wait five minutes, and rinse it out. It's designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b to 4c curls mentioning it worked for them! Check out a TikTok of the Elizavecca hair treatment in action! Promising review:"Wow! It's like Olaplex had a baby and this was it — but better. I was kinda disappointed that Olaplex didn't do much for my hair, but then I saw some reviews online for this product and decided to try it. I mean, it's pretty cheap, so why not? And it blew [Olaplex] out of the water! My hair hasn't been this soft and shiny in years. I can't tell what the heck the tube says, but who cares, it works great." — Barph Check out our full Elizavecca hair treatment review for more deets! Get a bottle from Amazon for $7.60. 6. A Catrice under-eye brightener ~enriched~ with shea butter and hyaluronic acid to give your dark circles a more radiant look. The pinkish tint helps balance out the blueish tint under your eyes as if you said a spell to make your dark circles *poof* away. Becca? Who's that? The color adaptive formula is designed so one of two shades will work on any skin tone. Promising review: "Anyone with dark under-eyes like myself needs to have a brightener! I used to spend $40 on Becca. This one is better, in my opinion!! It's very pigmented and covers blue hue in the corners of my eyes. It can be worn alone, but I prefer it under my concealer. It blends incredibly well. Very creamy and easy to apply. It will probably last me six months. A little dab goes a long way. It's extremely buildable, too. I am just so in love. I'm a sucker for saving money, and this purchase just saved me over $30. I will recommend it to all my friends and family. Just BUY it!" — Caitlin Newcomb Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). 7. Plus Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up eye gel which has a cult following cuz of how well it freakin' works. It'll help quickly minimize swelling and puffiness, so you won't look *nearly* as tired as you feel. Plus, it'll work just as well as expensive eye creams, even when you're hanging on by a thread and iced coffee. Good Molecules is a small biz that creates simple, effective skincare products using science-backed ingredients. Promising review:"I never write reviews, but this eye cream has made a difference on my under eyes! I've only been using it for a week and I would definitely recommend it. I've bought different eye creams (expensive brands) and never noticed a difference as fast as I've seen using this product." — Natalie Get it from Amazon for $5.98. 8. Some silky satin pillowcases reviewers are enjoying just as much as the expensive Slip ones. These lovely cooling miracles will feel super soft on your skin and help create less friction for your hair. And get this, guys: You'll get TWO of these for under $10 while the brand name ones are $50 for just one. You could literally buy 12 of these for the price of one of the expensive ones. Whew, what a steal! BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer says: "This is my go-to satin pillowcase. I have two Slip pillowcases, and several of these, and actually, the Bedsure ones wash up much nicer and retain an incredibly silky smooth feel after dozens of trips through the laundry. They're the only ones I'll buy going forward, and I recommended them to my mom, and now she's in love with them, too!" Promising review:"My hair has never been better! I got this because of TikTok, and it has done wonders for my hair. My hair isn't frizzy or dull looking when I get up in the morning." — Aaron Key Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in 4 sizes and 39 colors). 9. A transfer-, smudge-, sweat-, and water-resistant L'Oreal Paris Infallible setting spray mist that lasts up to 36 hours and has TikTok in a full chokehold. Literally, my jaw is on the floor. Reviewers are loving this affordable alternative to the One/Size setting spray mainly because this is basically witchcraft in a bottle. Put it on, and your makeup isn't going ANYWHERE. See it in action on TikTok. It's actually shocking how well it works. Promising reviews: "This is the best setting spray for longevity that you can get! It is completely an alternative to the One/Size one that costs twice as much. I wore this every day in NYC in July, and my makeup at the end of the day looked exactly the same as when I put it on. The only downside is the smell (like putting hairspray on your face), but the power of this is worth it!" — Heidi LaGrone "Does it smell like hairspray? Yes. Does it make my hair feel like I sprayed it with hairspray? Yes. Will I spray hairspray onto my makeup? No. Will I buy it again? Yes! Yes! And yes! I live in the desert and hate being bare-faced, considering I have a red undertone. I love doing my makeup and feeling clean, and this is amazing! Makeup doesn't get cakey and doesn't break/smear. Literally stays intact from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Makeup survived grocery shopping, football practice, and yard cleaning in 100+ weather." — Xiomara Get it from Amazon for $10.43. 10. A pack of pimple patches because a pimple is NOT ruining our day, babe! These patches use hydrocolloid material to help absorb all the gunk and tea tree oil and salicylic acid to speed up the pimple-healing process without picking or popping. Abracadabra, psh, what pimple? Reviewers are comparing these babies to the ever-so-popular Starface patches. Promising reviews: "Better than Starface!!! These stick extremely well and actually pull out and absorb the gunk. Plus, they come with soooooo many." — chey "I love these and wish they had them around when I was a teenager! I literally use them as facial decorations in addition to hiding blemishes, and my teenage son has no problem wearing them because they effectively minimize zits!!" — Monica Get a pack of 240 from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in seven shapes/colors and three- and six-packs). 11. A pair of ~dreamlux~ leggings that'll make you forget all about ol' Lulu-something? You know, the super popular, overpriced leggings, uhhh, oh yeah! The Lululemon Align ones! If you just can't justify dropping $100 on leggings, treat yourself to these *less splurge-y* squatproof, cozy, compressive ones that are just as good. Amazon Promising review:"Super comfy. I usually don't write reviews. I tried this first before buying Lulu, and these are the most comfortable leggings for every day and even for workouts. Highly recommended!" — Criselle Johnson Get them from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in women's sizes XXS–XXL, two inseams, and 22 colors). 12. A cologne with hints of bergamot, sandalwood, and tonka bean. Reviewers are comparing this affordable bottle of goodness to the popular *yet* expensive Sauvage cologne by Christian Dior. Plus this one is only half the price of the name brand bottle! Promising review: "The scent is very creamy and nice. I get about six hours of projection. I don't use it too much because it is quite strong. I did smell some authentic Sauvage from one of my friends and this is a little bit different. The true sauvage you can smell the patchouli, which this doesn't have. But I think for the price, this gets you very close in the ballpark." — tankforwin Get it from Amazon for $32.50. 13. A must-have basic oversize hoodie — if you reside on 123 Hoodie Lane, add this simple lil' baby to your collection. Aritzia hoodie, honey, did you have a twin you didn't tell us about? Promising review: " This is hands down the best sweatshirt I've ever purchased. The quality, thickness, and material are unmatched. Compared to my other sweatshirts from Lulu, Aritzia, and White Fox, this sweatshirt beats them all. It's a perfect staple for your closet and definitely a NEED. It definitely is an oversized sweatshirt, and if you're used to typical sweatshirt sizing like Hanes, I would buy a size down if you don't want to be swimming in the sweatshirt. I typically go for a Large to be comfortable, but I bought this in a Medium and it is still large on me and comfortable. The hood is also large and perfect for the rain. It holds its weight and doesn't fall on your head. The pocket is also perfect and doesn't sag the sweatshirt when I have my phone or keys in it. I will definitely be buying more of these in different colors 10000/10!!" — kendall Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in women's sizes XXS–3XL and 31 colors). 14. A pair of zippered lace-up combat boots that'll take any outfit you wear and make it look 10x more badass. They have a certain je ne sais quoi about them that says, "I know I have all the style Doc Martens have, but I'm much more affordable." The price will be like music to your ears. Promising review: "I bought these to replace some knockoff Dr. Martens I had before because they are versatile with many outfits — especially this past fall and winter. So far, these have been comfortable, great during winter at work and at home, and while a little stiff at first, they do get some flexibility over time. They are not soft, pliable, fake leather. It's pretty straight. So if that's what you're looking for, these are great!" — Valerie Mills Get it from Amazon for $33.10+ (available in women's sizes 5.5–10 and four styles). 15. A bejeweled bubble letter necklace because you haven't been able to stop thinking about Hailey Bieber's blinged-out, super expensive one. If the price has stopped you from continuing checkout, grab this one that's a lot cheaper! No one will ever know the difference. Promising review: "I was skeptical of buying this at first, but when it arrived, I couldn't have been happier. This necklace is an alternative to Hailey Bieber's $500,000 'B' necklace. It looks exactly like it, too! I don't see any difference other than the size. Definitely a 10/10." — F. Chisham Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in 3 sizes, 26 letters, and 2 colors). 16. A pair of classic Ray-Bans *I mean* round polarized sunglasses, which are basically the name brand version's much cheaper sister. Wait, we're sure no mistakes were made here, and these aren't the ever-so-popular $100+ ones? They could surely fool me. Promising review:"Sojos has been my number one choice of sunnies for years now. Even if Ray-Bans were this price, I'd still choose Sojos. They are high-end quality without the price tag, lightweight yet durable, truly polarized, fashionable, comfortable, and the list goes on! They are the best of the best, don't hesitate, just buy them!" — maggie Get it from Amazon for $12.73 (available in eight styles). 17. Or a pair of trendy sunglasses that give ~I just walked off of the Prada runway~ vibes. They come in 10 colors, they're very cutesy, very demure, and the fact that they're a heck of a lot cheaper than the $490 luxury brand price is VERY mindful. And I know they aren't *actually* from the designer but this moment calls for a Cheetah Girls quote — "I wear [cheaper alternatives to] Prada or nada, mama." Promising review: " I love these sunglasses so much, I bought them in three different colors several times. They are great because you can bring them out and not have to worry about losing them because they're not as expensive as Prada, yet they look just like them. They fit and frame my face so well. They are lightweight and do not fall heavy on the nose bridge or squeeze the sides of your head, and I have a pretty large face. These are definitely my favorite sunglasses I've purchased on Amazon." — Meghan Happy Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in 10 colors and two-packs). 18. Essence Lash Princess Mascara — a formula so good, people will ask you, "Are those your lashes?" This mascara def brings as much drama as Cathy did on Dance Moms. It's sweatproof, and get this: Reviewers are *actually* comparing it to more expensive brands like Too Faced's "Better Than Sex" and Benefit's "They're Real." All this goodness for under $5?! No, you're not dreaming. Promising review:"After using Lights, Camera, Lashes by Tarte for the past year, I got tired of breaking the bank over mascara. My sister suggested Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect and I IMMEDIATELY fell in love. It provides dramatic length and great volume. I can honestly say I can't stop looking at my eyelashes in the mirror every single day because of how awesome they look. Also, it is very long-wearing. I go from an eight-hour workday right to the gym and sweat [a lot]..and this stuff doesn't budge! I love it!!" — Carrie E Weikert Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in two colors and in a three-pack). 19. A cult-fave supportive seamless compressive bodysuit because the Skims one seems great and all, but that price does not. If you want the vibe but don't wanna drop the $70, grab this and just say, "Yeah, it's the name-brand one." I won't tell, I swear. If you get two of these, you'll still spend less than you would on ONE from Skims. We love to see it! Shaperx is a small biz that specializes in supportive, compressive bodysuits in a variety of styles. Promising review: "SKIMS WHOOOOOO?? I LOOOOVVE a good bodysuit and have been considering Skims, but ain't no wayyyyyyy Kim is getting that much money out of me. This SHAPERX bodysuit has become my secret weapon for feeling confident and comfortable all day long without the ridiculous price tag! This bodysuit is like a magic hug; my tummy feels supported, and it even helps lift my chest! This shapewear isn't about feeling restricted. The seamless design is surprisingly comfortable, and the material is soft and breathable. I can wear it all day without feeling like I'm trapped. The sleek design makes this bodysuit perfect for layering under any outfit. My go-to for any look, and it's a thong, so you don't have to worry about the outline showing, and it doesn't ride up, so it's comfy." — Vianey Get it from Amazon for $28.79+ (available in women's sizes XXS–4XL and 11 colors/styles, including shorts and thong style). 20. A simple tennis bracelet, which will have everyone thinking you spent some serious coin on a Swarovski one. It's jaw-droppingly gorgeous, and the price?! Wooo! Luxury for the low is always a win. Promising review: "Soooo pretty. It's 100% a Swarovski alternative for so cheap. Looks exactly like the photo, and I wear it every day." — Trysten Walters Get it from Amazon for $18.45+ (available in two styles, a two-pack, and three colors and sizes). 21. NYX Fat Oil Lip Drip so you can keep that pout shiny without your lippies getting all sticky. Reviewers are loving this stuff because it's a lovely little affordable alternative to the Dior lip oil. Amazon Promising review: "I have Fenty Cherry Treat, a lip oil from Dior, and several other brands that were $20 or more…and the NYX Fat Oil is better! Same consistency as the others, but a little more color, which is a good thing. About as long-lasting as any other thick lipgloss. It's always awesome to find a less expensive [option] for the high-end products I like." — Jennifer Get it from Amazon for $6.49+ (available in 14 shades). 22. A popular half-zip pullover, which is so cute, I totally get the TikTok hype. Simple, oversized, cozy-looking, and stylish — a winner. Plus, it looks so much like the Lululemon and Aritzia ones; the only thing that looks suuuuper different is the price. And that's a good thing! Promising reviews: "So TikTok made me buy this + seeing it over and over again on the Amazon Best Sellers tab. I finally took the plunge and bought it. I love this jacket so much. It literally is comparable to my $80 Aritzia jacket for so much cheaper! I love how soft it is on the inside! Super fuzzy and warm. I love the collar, it's stylish, and I love to give it a little flip-over. The zipper is quality, too! I love the contrast of the black and white. I loved this jacket so much that I came back and bought it in white after buying the apricot color. I would highly recommend it to literally everyone. I bought the same size as my Aritzia jacket. It fits me perfectly with an oversized look!" — Kate Dumas Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in women's sizes S–XXL and 22 colors). 23. A duffel bag you can use for the gym or to travel with as a personal item. This absolutely *elite* duffel has a luggage trolley strap, two air vents, a detachable shoulder strap, a vented shoe compartment, a USB charging port, and tons and tons of pockets, including a wet bag. 🤯 See why I said it was elite? TikTok is comparing it to the Beis weekender bag! I mean, this thing is like a god compared to all other duffel bags. Reviewers have used this as a personal item when flying with Southwest, Delta, American Airlines, Frontier, United, and Spirit. Check it out on TikTok! Promising reviews: "I recently purchased the bag in beige, and it has exceeded my expectations. This travel duffel bag fits everything I need, making it perfect for the gym, yoga sessions, or weekend getaways. The USB charging port is incredibly convenient for keeping my devices powered up on the go. I particularly love the separate wet pocket and shoe compartment, which helps keep my belongings organized and clean. Additionally, it's the ideal size for Spirit Airlines, fitting perfectly as a carry-on. Overall, this bag is stylish, functional, and a great investment for anyone." — Venus Aryal "I have two suitcases and a bag from Beis, and I really wanted the Weekender bag but didn't want to spend the money. So I found this alternative, and it is amazing! Has so much storage and is super cute. Honestly, the quality is as good as my Beis bag. Would definitely recommend!!" — Jordy Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in two sizes, 27 colors, and with an option to add your initial at checkout). 24. A pair of stylish teardrop earrings that'll make everyone think you dropped a bunch of money on Bottega Veneta. I know, I know, they look like they weigh A TON *but* reviewers actually say they're super lightweight and don't affect sensitive ears! Promising review:"These are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! If I didn't know any better, I would have said these are the Bottega Drop Earrings. I personally love the smaller ones. I have not ordered the larger ones yet. Smaller ones are truthfully the perfect size. We love a good alternative because who has $800+ to spend on the Bottegas." — Brittany Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 11 colors, two-packs, and three sizes). 25. A set of six breathable seamless thongs because these laugh in the face of Victoria's Secret's five for $30 and Skims' three for $36 deals. They won't show under your clothes, and surprisingly, reviewers say they're comfy! Comfortable thongs sound like a myth, but these babies prove that they're so real. Promising reviews: "Buying every color! These are the most comfortable high-waisted medium compact thongs I've ever owned, and I own Skims, Good American, and Spanx. They are super soft. 15/10 would recommend!!" — Samantha Wroe "Absolutely blown away! I used to be a Victoria's Secret panty shopper, mainly due to their sales. The quality of VS underwear makes it so they never last past six months if that. Not to mention, the crotch section of all their underwear types is unrealistically narrow. I bought these as my everyday underwear and couldn't be happier. They are so comfortable I can hardly tell I'm wearing them. The crotch part is a suitable size, and the back doesn't ride up or suffocate my backside. They sit perfectly on my hip bone and don't need adjusting throughout the day. The material is soft, and the quality is fantastic. Don't hesitate, buy these!" — Miranda Get a set of six from Amazon for $24.98+ (available in women's sizes XS–4XL and nine color packs). 26. A trendy tote bag that looks a lot like the popular *yet* pricey Longchamp Le Pilage bag everyone loves. Same amount of cuteness, spacious enough for a laptop, and can fold up into an itty bitty triangle just like the Longchamp. Take that designer brand! Promising review: "I absolutely love this bag!! I needed something to use when I'm traveling, especially when I go to trade shows and meetings. I've always lugged my backpack everywhere and finally got fed up with it on a trip this past week. I also wanted something that was classy looking and had a full zipper. I love the material because it's easy to clean. It looks almost exactly like the Longchamp bag, too, which is the main reason why I got it. I've actually been using it daily by putting my small purse in it and am able to put other things in it as well (small jacket, water bottle, small reusable bag, etc.) It has two inner pockets which are near the top of the bag. One is zipped, and one isn't. It stays on my shoulder and doesn't slip off, unlike other bags I've had. I'm curious to see how well it holds and for how long, but so far, I'm very impressed and very happy with the quality!" — Kelsey Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in four colors). 27. A pair of short pull-on boots with memory foam that are super warm. Plus, everyone on TikTok is styling the heck outta these and they look sooo much like Ugg boots. Promising reviews: "Perfect Ugg ultra mini alternative. They were just what I was hoping for, and I cannot wait to buy more! I wore the crap out of them last winter, and they look a little rough, but I am a mom of two young kids and just love how convenient they are to slip on with whatever and go! Also, they are warm and comfy!! Very happy with them. — Taylor Brown "I'm not kidding! I saw some girl review them on TikTok and bought them on a whim and I love them. The color is so cute, and they're just as comfortable as my Uggs, if not more. Buy them." — Allie Costanza Get them from Amazon for $29.99 (available in women's sizes 5–11, including wide sizes and 11 colors). 28. A Sol de Janeiro fragrance mist in scent Cheirosa '68 that gives Baccarat Rouge 540 luxury but, like, as a much cheaper, light body spray. If you've tried anything from Sol de Janeiro, you know their scents are literally top freakin' tier, and this Brazilian jasmine, hibiscus, and sun musk little bottle of gold doesn't disappoint. Promising review: " I opened up my package as soon as I got it, sprayed it, and could not believe how IDENTICAL it smells to the Baccarat Rouge 540 perfume. It's literally the exact same. It has a very warm-smelling undertone of vanilla with top scents of Brazilian jasmine and sun musk, just like the description says on the bottle. I would definitely recommend this as an alternative for the Baccarat Rouge 540 perfume if anyone was looking for one." — Rachel Jackel Get it from Amazon for $25+ (available in two sizes and nine other scents). 29. A Petcube — a pet-monitoring camera that allows you to check on your pet and talk to them so you don't have to leave the get-together early, again, because you're freaking out about your poor pooch at home. It's basically the fancy shmancy Furbo without the throwing treats part. Night vision — check ✅ , app-enabled with notifications — check ✅ , access to a vet on demand — check ✅ . I mean, it's seriously perfect. Amazon Check out a TikTok of the Petcube in action. Petcube is a California-based small biz that specializes in interactive HD pet camera products. You can also sync it with Amazon Alexa! Promising reviews: "Unbeatable for the money. I needed a way to keep an eye on a new 4-month-old puppy who kept digging holes in my yard. I didn't expect a lot for $39, but I was pleasantly surprised. The video is quick to get started and very clear, zoom is quick, and the night vision actually works. I haven't used any of the other features yet, but these alone make this a great value! Far exceeding what I expected." — Rick Grisham "I had a Furbo camera before, but it stopped working. I went with this option, and it was so much cheaper, and the video quality is better! Might not throw treats to your pet, but works perfect for checking in on them!" — Kaylee Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (available in two styles, multi-packs, and with a subscription). 30. A ~dazzling~ cubic zirconia ring you'll be dying to flex in because, uhmm, *double takes* is that the Cartier Love Ring? Nope, but it looks eerily similar, right? The only really big difference is the price. Promising review: "The perfect non-name-brand ring you can find, honestly. I wasn't looking for a Cartier knock-off when I found this ring, but I have had people ask me if it's the real deal. I honestly love this ring, though. The sizing was accurate, it is weighted well, none of the 'diamonds' have fallen off, and it hasn't tarnished! I've worn it daily for almost a year now, and it has held up well. It has some very small scratches on it, but that's typical of most rings. For the price, I am super happy with this ring, and I honestly can't believe how well it has handled everything I've put it through." — Eva Richterkessing Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in sizes 5–12, three finishes, and three styles). 31. A pair of comfy clogs that could pull off a Parent Trap swap with the Birkenstock Boston Clogs. If the name brand ones are Halle, these babies are Annie. The resemblance is uncanny. Promising review:"They look just like my real Birkenstock clogs!! The shape, the buckle, the fit: They all make the clog feel legit. They are also super comfy! There is cushioning in the heel that makes them very comfortable to wear. If you are hesitant, just buy them. This is SUCH a bargain considering how expensive real Birks are LOL." — Quinlan Hanrahan Get it from Amazon for $29.98+ (available in women's sizes 6–11, including wide sizes, and in 13 colors). 32. An elegant set of square wineglasses to make your *treat yourself day* wine all prettyyyy. Showstoppers, for sure. You'll be texting the group chat as soon as you get these just so you can invite people over and show these beauties off. No one will believe you got 'em from Amazon and not some overpriced shop. Promising review: "We've had four of these glasses for over six months now and finally just added four more to our collection. These glasses are SO CHIC and are very similar to ones sold at Crate & Barrel but are MUCH more durable. Unlike the C&B glasses, you can cheers without feeling like the glasses will break. In fact, they've tipped over in the sink a few times and are still intact. They dry beautifully, sparkle after the dishwasher and we get so many compliments on them. I love them!" — Katie B Get a set of four from Amazon for $34.99+ (also available in a set of two and six and in three styles). 33. A Lululemon-esque waterproof lightweight backpack with a ton of space including a laptop compartment, internal pockets, and a hidden front compartment. It's a minimalist traveler's *dream* and will put all your old backpacks to shame. Promising review:"My backpack is absolutely essential for getting through my work day. It fits everything I need, from my laptop and charger to notebooks, pens, and even a snack or two. The compartments keep everything organized, so I'm never scrambling to find what I need. It's comfortable to wear, even when fully loaded, making my commute a breeze. Honestly, I can't imagine my workday without it!" — kody craig Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in two sizes and 10 colors). 34. A set of remote-operated flameless candles so you can stop nearly burning down your house after forgetting to blow out your candles before bed. Perfect for anyone who enjoys watching the mesmerizing flickering flame without needing the actual fire part. Plus they'll be beautiful in all your tablescape ideas and best of all, they're more cost efficient than name-brand alternatives like Luminara *side eye* 👀. You'll need three AAA batteries per candle, which will last about 150 hours. Promising review:"With the price of batteries, these beautiful candles are a must. I've always used Luminara, which, unfortunately, devours batteries and dies after several years. These candles also have a more soothing, ambient effect. The colored exteriors are far prettier than Luminara. Great gifts!" — pandorah Get a set of three from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in six colors/styles). You, throwing out your expensive Becca brightener and grabbing the $6 Catrice one.

We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · "They are identical to the Chanel shoes, but obviously at a fraction of the cost." —One reviewer 1. A simple long-sleeve bodysuit because you *need* your basics to build 'fits. IDK about you, but ~I~ need one in every color. One TikToker even did the research to find that this fabric blend is the same as Skims 🤯😱. Spectacular, give me 14 of 'em right now. Promising review: "Are you kidding me? This is the softest, most comfortable body suit I've ever owned. I got so many compliments lol; everyone did think they were Skims lol, but it's definitely worth every penny. I love it and will be getting more colors!!! You need it." — Wendy L Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 14 colors). And check out all the styles available in the Smoke Cloud fabric here. 2. Slingback heels because, ooooh, look how gorgeous! These are drool-worthy, and if you think they look a bit familiar, it's definitely cuz they could pass as the Chanel pair. Now, you can get the look without having to spend an entire paycheck. Promising reviews:"Love these sandals. I bought them for a black and beige dress, thinking I'd be limited to only those matching colors. After receiving and trying them on — they looked perfect with jeans, too! My feet are not narrow but not wide either. The fit is perfect on my size 8 feet, which are usually in sneakers. Dressing up in these sandals will present an elegant vibe and be comfortable, too!! I love the look it gives my feet! Dress it up, dress it down, and easy wearing — my go-to sandals now!!" — Mrs.D "These shoes fit true to size and are very comfortable. I love the design and color combo. They are identical to the Chanel shoes, but obviously at a fraction of the cost." — Cherice Villasana Get them from Amazon for $42.49+ (available in women's sizes 5–11). 3. A pair of oversize fleece cargo joggers that'll have you making up errands just so you can throw 'em on. They're made from a scrumptiously soft cotton blend and they have pockets juuust like the $55 Nike ones. Promising review: "These are AMAZING!! 100% a Nike alternative! Even after repeated washes, the color hasn't faded, nor have they shrunk. I got an XL, and they fit perfectly. Just the way I wanted them to! They are definitely oversized, so if you don't like that look, then these probably aren't for you. I will be ordering more!" — Sarah Simpson Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in women's sizes S–XL and eight colors). 4. A chic vegan leather shoulder bag because your pockets are preventing your dreams of having a Bottega Veneta bag from coming true at the moment. This will give the luxury vibes without the luxury price and then one day when you're a billionaire (manifesting this for you and me both) you can drop a mortgage payment on a designer bag. But for now, you can give boujie with this baddie. Promising review:"I ordered this because I wanted a bag that was big enough for my new iPad. I also didn't want to spend a fortune because I didn't want to be scared to carry it around with me and 'mess it up,' you know? It came very nicely packaged, and all of the individual hardware components and straps were wrapped well. The leather itself is very good quality! Once upon a time, I worked in a designer handbag department of a fancy store, and I can say the quality of the bag itself is pretty comparable to something in the $300–$500 range. It's a really nice bag for a very fair price!" — Lindsay Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in seven styles). 5. A bottle of Elizavecca hair treatment that contains ceramides and collagen that'll give your hair shine and make it smooth in just five minutes! Keeping you flawless even if you don't have much time or don't feel like doing your hair. Plus, I hear this stuff has Olaplex shaking. Simply apply it on wet hair after a shampoo, wait five minutes, and rinse it out. It's designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b to 4c curls mentioning it worked for them! Check out a TikTok of the Elizavecca hair treatment in action! Promising review:"Wow! It's like Olaplex had a baby and this was it — but better. I was kinda disappointed that Olaplex didn't do much for my hair, but then I saw some reviews online for this product and decided to try it. I mean, it's pretty cheap, so why not? And it blew [Olaplex] out of the water! My hair hasn't been this soft and shiny in years. I can't tell what the heck the tube says, but who cares, it works great." — Barph Check out our full Elizavecca hair treatment review for more deets! Get a bottle from Amazon for $7.91. 6. A Catrice under-eye brightener ~enriched~ with shea butter and hyaluronic acid to give your dark circles a more radiant look. The pinkish tint helps balance out the blueish tint under your eyes as if you said a spell to make your dark circles *poof* away. Becca? Who's that? The color adaptive formula is designed so one of two shades will work on any skin tone. Promising review: "Anyone with dark under-eyes like myself needs to have a brightener! I used to spend $40 on Becca. This one is better, in my opinion!! It's very pigmented and covers blue hue in the corners of my eyes. It can be worn alone, but I prefer it under my concealer. It blends incredibly well. Very creamy and easy to apply. It will probably last me six months. A little dab goes a long way. It's extremely buildable, too. I am just so in love. I'm a sucker for saving money, and this purchase just saved me over $30. I will recommend it to all my friends and family. Just BUY it!" — Caitlin Newcomb Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in two shades). 7. Plus Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up eye gel which has a cult following cuz of how well it freakin' works. It'll help quickly minimize swelling and puffiness, so you won't look *nearly* as tired as you feel. Plus, it'll work just as well as expensive eye creams, even when you're hanging on by a thread and iced coffee. Good Molecules is a small biz that creates simple, effective skincare products using science-backed ingredients. Promising review:"I never write reviews, but this eye cream has made a difference on my under eyes! I've only been using it for a week and I would definitely recommend it. I've bought different eye creams (expensive brands) and never noticed a difference as fast as I've seen using this product." — Natalie Get it from Amazon for $5.98. 8. Some silky satin pillowcases reviewers are enjoying just as much as the expensive Slip ones. These lovely cooling miracles will feel super soft on your skin and help create less friction for your hair. And get this, guys: You'll get TWO of these for under $10 while the brand name ones are $50 for just one. You could literally buy 12 of these for the price of one of the expensive ones. Whew, what a steal! Amazon BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer says: "This is my go-to satin pillowcase. I have two Slip pillowcases, and several of these, and actually, the Bedsure ones wash up much nicer and retain an incredibly silky smooth feel after dozens of trips through the laundry. They're the only ones I'll buy going forward, and I recommended them to my mom, and now she's in love with them, too!" Promising review:"My hair has never been better! I got this because of TikTok, and it has done wonders for my hair. My hair isn't frizzy or dull looking when I get up in the morning." — Aaron Key Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 4 sizes and 39 colors). 9. A transfer-, smudge-, sweat-, and water-resistant L'Oreal Paris Infallible setting spray mist that lasts up to 36 hours and has TikTok in a full chokehold. Literally, my jaw is on the floor. Reviewers are loving this affordable alternative to the One/Size setting spray mainly because this is basically witchcraft in a bottle. Put it on, and your makeup isn't going ANYWHERE. See it in action on TikTok. It's actually shocking how well it works. Promising reviews: "This is the best setting spray for longevity that you can get! It is completely an alternative to the One/Size one that costs twice as much. I wore this every day in NYC in July, and my makeup at the end of the day looked exactly the same as when I put it on. The only downside is the smell (like putting hairspray on your face), but the power of this is worth it!" — Heidi LaGrone "Does it smell like hairspray? Yes. Does it make my hair feel like I sprayed it with hairspray? Yes. Will I spray hairspray onto my makeup? No. Will I buy it again? Yes! Yes! And yes! I live in the desert and hate being bare-faced, considering I have a red undertone. I love doing my makeup and feeling clean, and this is amazing! Makeup doesn't get cakey and doesn't break/smear. Literally stays intact from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Makeup survived grocery shopping, football practice, and yard cleaning in 100+ weather." — Xiomara Get it from Amazon for $10.98. 10. A pack of pimple patches because a pimple is NOT ruining our day, babe! These patches use hydrocolloid material to help absorb all the gunk and tea tree oil and salicylic acid to speed up the pimple-healing process without picking or popping. Abracadabra, psh, what pimple? Reviewers are comparing these babies to the ever-so-popular Starface patches. Promising reviews: "Better than Starface!!! These stick extremely well and actually pull out and absorb the gunk. Plus, they come with soooooo many." — chey "I love these and wish they had them around when I was a teenager! I literally use them as facial decorations in addition to hiding blemishes, and my teenage son has no problem wearing them because they effectively minimize zits!!" — Monica Get a pack of 240 from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in four shapes/colors and three- and six-packs). 11. A pair of ~dreamlux~ leggings that'll make you forget all about ol' Lulu-something? You know, the super popular, overpriced leggings, uhhh, oh yeah! The Lululemon Align ones! If you just can't justify dropping $100 on leggings, treat yourself to these *less splurge-y* squatproof, cozy, compressive ones that are just as good. Promising review:"Super comfy. I usually don't write reviews. I tried this first before buying Lulu, and these are the most comfortable leggings for every day and even for workouts. Highly recommended!" — Criselle Johnson Get them from Amazon for $29 (available in women's sizes XXS–XXL, 2 inseams, and 21 colors). 12. A cologne with hints of bergamot, sandalwood, and tonka bean. Reviewers are comparing this affordable bottle of goodness to the popular *yet* expensive Sauvage cologne by Christian Dior. Plus this one is only half the price of the name brand bottle! Promising review: "The scent is very creamy and nice. I get about six hours of projection. I don't use it too much because it is quite strong. I did smell some authentic Sauvage from one of my friends and this is a little bit different. The true sauvage you can smell the patchouli, which this doesn't have. But I think for the price, this gets you very close in the ballpark." — tankforwin Get it from Amazon for $32.50. 13. A must-have basic oversize hoodie because if you plan on residing on 123 Hoodie Lane, add this simple lil' baby to your collection. Aritzia hoodie, honey, did you have a twin you didn't tell us about? Promising review: " This is hands down the best sweatshirt I've ever purchased. The quality, thickness, and material are unmatched. Compared to my other sweatshirts from Lulu, Aritzia, and White Fox, this sweatshirt beats them all. It's a perfect staple for your closet and definitely a NEED. It definitely is an oversized sweatshirt, and if you're used to typical sweatshirt sizing like Hanes, I would buy a size down if you don't want to be swimming in the sweatshirt. I typically go for a Large to be comfortable, but I bought this in a Medium and it is still large on me and comfortable. The hood is also large and perfect for the rain. It holds its weight and doesn't fall on your head. The pocket is also perfect and doesn't sag the sweatshirt when I have my phone or keys in it. I will definitely be buying more of these in different colors 10000/10!!" — kendall Get it from Amazon for $38.99+ (available in women's sizes XXS–3XL and 40 colors). 14. A pair of zippered lace-up combat boots that'll take any outfit you wear and make it look 10x more badass. They have a certain je ne sais quoi about them that says, "I know I have all the style Doc Martens have, but I'm much more affordable." The price will be like music to your ears. Promising review: "I bought these to replace some knockoff Dr. Martens I had before because they are versatile with many outfits — especially this past fall and winter. So far, these have been comfortable, great during winter at work and at home, and while a little stiff at first, they do get some flexibility over time. They are not soft, pliable, fake leather. It's pretty straight. So if that's what you're looking for, these are great!" — Valerie Mills Get it from Amazon for $38.99 (available in women's sizes 5.5–10 and four styles). 15. A bejeweled bubble letter necklace because you haven't been able to stop thinking about Hailey Bieber's blinged-out, super expensive one. If the price has stopped you from continuing checkout, grab this one that's a lot cheaper! No one will ever know the difference. Promising review: "I was skeptical of buying this at first, but when it arrived, I couldn't have been happier. This necklace is an alternative to Hailey Bieber's $500,000 'B' necklace. It looks exactly like it, too! I don't see any difference other than the size. Definitely a 10/10." — F. Chisham Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in 3 sizes, 26 letters, and 2 colors). 16. A pair of classic Ray-Bans *I mean* round polarized sunglasses, which are basically the name brand version's much cheaper sister. Wait, we're sure no mistakes were made here, and these aren't the ever-so-popular $100+ ones? They could surely fool me. Promising review:"Sojos has been my number one choice of sunnies for years now. Even if Ray-Bans were this price, I'd still choose Sojos. They are high-end quality without the price tag, lightweight yet durable, truly polarized, fashionable, comfortable, and the list goes on! They are the best of the best, don't hesitate, just buy them!" — maggie Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in eight styles). 17. Or a pair of trendy sunglasses that give ~I just walked off of the Prada runway~ vibes. They come in 10 colors, they're very cutesy, very demure, and the fact that they're a heck of a lot cheaper than the $490 luxury brand price is VERY mindful. And I know they aren't *actually* from the designer but this moment calls for a Cheetah Girls quote — "I wear [cheaper alternatives to] Prada or nada, mama." Promising review: " I love these sunglasses so much, I bought them in three different colors several times. They are great because you can bring them out and not have to worry about losing them because they're not as expensive as Prada, yet they look just like them. They fit and frame my face so well. They are lightweight and do not fall heavy on the nose bridge or squeeze the sides of your head, and I have a pretty large face. These are definitely my favorite sunglasses I've purchased on Amazon." — Meghan Happy Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in 10 colors and two-packs). 18. Essence Lash Princess Mascara — a formula so good, people will ask you, "Are those your lashes?" This mascara def brings as much drama as Cathy did on Dance Moms. It's sweatproof, and get this: Reviewers are *actually* comparing it to more expensive brands like Too Faced's "Better Than Sex" and Benefit's "They're Real." All this goodness for under $5?! No, you're not dreaming. Promising review:"After using Lights, Camera, Lashes by Tarte for the past year, I got tired of breaking the bank over mascara. My sister suggested Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect and I IMMEDIATELY fell in love. It provides dramatic length and great volume. I can honestly say I can't stop looking at my eyelashes in the mirror every single day because of how awesome they look. Also, it is very long-wearing. I go from an eight-hour workday right to the gym and sweat [a lot]..and this stuff doesn't budge! I love it!!" — Carrie E Weikert Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in two colors and in a three-pack). 19. A cult-fave supportive seamless compressive bodysuit because the Skims one seems great and all, but that price does not. If you want the vibe but don't wanna drop the $70, grab this and just say, "Yeah, it's the name-brand one." I won't tell, I swear. If you get two of these, you'll still spend less than you would on ONE from Skims. We love to see it! Shaperx is a small biz that specializes in supportive, compressive bodysuits in a variety of styles. Promising review: "SKIMS WHOOOOOO?? I LOOOOVVE a good bodysuit and have been considering Skims, but ain't no wayyyyyyy Kim is getting that much money out of me. This SHAPERX bodysuit has become my secret weapon for feeling confident and comfortable all day long without the ridiculous price tag! This bodysuit is like a magic hug; my tummy feels supported, and it even helps lift my chest! This shapewear isn't about feeling restricted. The seamless design is surprisingly comfortable, and the material is soft and breathable. I can wear it all day without feeling like I'm trapped. The sleek design makes this bodysuit perfect for layering under any outfit. My go-to for any look, and it's a thong, so you don't have to worry about the outline showing, and it doesn't ride up, so it's comfy." — Vianey Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in women's sizes XXS–5XL and 11 colors/styles, including shorts and thong style). 20. A simple tennis bracelet, which will have everyone thinking you spent some serious coin on a Swarovski one. It's jaw-droppingly gorgeous, and the price?! Wooo! Luxury for the low is always a win. Promising review: "Soooo pretty. It's 100% a Swarovski alternative for so cheap. Looks exactly like the photo, and I wear it every day." — Trysten Walters Get it from Amazon for $18.45+ (available in two styles, a two-pack, and three colors and sizes). 21. NYX Fat Oil Lip Drip so you can keep that pout shiny without your lippies getting all sticky. Reviewers are loving this stuff because it's a lovely little affordable alternative to the Dior lip oil. Amazon Promising review: "I have Fenty Cherry Treat, a lip oil from Dior, and several other brands that were $20 or more…and the NYX Fat Oil is better! Same consistency as the others, but a little more color, which is a good thing. About as long-lasting as any other thick lipgloss. It's always awesome to find a less expensive [option] for the high-end products I like." — Jennifer Get it from Amazon for $8.72+ (available in 14 shades). 22. A popular half-zip pullover, which is so cute, I totally get the TikTok hype. Simple, oversized, cozy-looking, and stylish — a winner. Plus, it looks so much like the Lululemon and Aritzia ones; the only thing that looks suuuuper different is the price. And that's a good thing! Promising reviews: "So TikTok made me buy this + seeing it over and over again on the Amazon Best Sellers tab. I finally took the plunge and bought it. I love this jacket so much. It literally is comparable to my $80 Aritzia jacket for so much cheaper! I love how soft it is on the inside! Super fuzzy and warm. I love the collar, it's stylish, and I love to give it a little flip-over. The zipper is quality, too! I love the contrast of the black and white. I loved this jacket so much that I came back and bought it in white after buying the apricot color. I would highly recommend it to literally everyone. I bought the same size as my Aritzia jacket. It fits me perfectly with an oversized look!" — Kate Dumas Get it from Amazon for $36.99 (available in women's sizes S–XXL and 25 colors). 23. A duffel bag you can use for the gym or to travel with as a personal item. This absolutely *elite* duffel has a luggage trolley strap, two air vents, a detachable shoulder strap, a vented shoe compartment, a USB charging port, and tons and tons of pockets, including a wet bag. 🤯 See why I said it was elite? TikTok is comparing it to the Beis weekender bag! I mean, this thing is like a god compared to all other duffel bags. Reviewers have used this as a personal item when flying with Southwest, Delta, American Airlines, Frontier, United, and Spirit. Check it out on TikTok! Promising reviews: "I recently purchased the bag in beige, and it has exceeded my expectations. This travel duffel bag fits everything I need, making it perfect for the gym, yoga sessions, or weekend getaways. The USB charging port is incredibly convenient for keeping my devices powered up on the go. I particularly love the separate wet pocket and shoe compartment, which helps keep my belongings organized and clean. Additionally, it's the ideal size for Spirit Airlines, fitting perfectly as a carry-on. Overall, this bag is stylish, functional, and a great investment for anyone." — Venus Aryal "I have two suitcases and a bag from Beis, and I really wanted the Weekender bag but didn't want to spend the money. So I found this alternative, and it is amazing! Has so much storage and is super cute. Honestly, the quality is as good as my Beis bag. Would definitely recommend!!" — Jordy Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two sizes, 17 colors, and with an option to add your initial at checkout). 24. A pair of stylish teardrop earrings that'll make everyone think you dropped a bunch of money on Bottega Veneta. I know, I know, they look like they weigh A TON *but* reviewers actually say they're super lightweight and don't affect sensitive ears! Promising review:"These are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! If I didn't know any better, I would have said these are the Bottega Drop Earrings. I personally love the smaller ones. I have not ordered the larger ones yet. Smaller ones are truthfully the perfect size. We love a good alternative because who has $800+ to spend on the Bottegas." — Brittany Get them from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 11 colors, two-packs, and three sizes). 25. A set of six breathable seamless thongs because these laugh in the face of Victoria's Secret's five for $30 and Skims' three for $36 deals. They won't show under your clothes, and surprisingly, reviewers say they're comfy! Comfortable thongs sound like a myth, but these babies prove that they're so real. Promising reviews: "Buying every color! These are the most comfortable high-waisted medium compact thongs I've ever owned, and I own Skims, Good American, and Spanx. They are super soft. 15/10 would recommend!!" — Samantha Wroe "Absolutely blown away! I used to be a Victoria's Secret panty shopper, mainly due to their sales. The quality of VS underwear makes it so they never last past six months if that. Not to mention, the crotch section of all their underwear types is unrealistically narrow. I bought these as my everyday underwear and couldn't be happier. They are so comfortable I can hardly tell I'm wearing them. The crotch part is a suitable size, and the back doesn't ride up or suffocate my backside. They sit perfectly on my hip bone and don't need adjusting throughout the day. The material is soft, and the quality is fantastic. Don't hesitate, buy these!" — Miranda Get a set of six from Amazon for $24.98+ (available in women's sizes XS–4XL and 10 color packs). 26. A trendy tote bag that looks a lot like the popular *yet* pricey Longchamp Le Pilage bag everyone loves. Same amount of cuteness, spacious enough for a laptop, and can fold up into an itty bitty triangle just like the Longchamp. Take that designer brand! Promising review: "I absolutely love this bag!! I needed something to use when I'm traveling, especially when I go to trade shows and meetings. I've always lugged my backpack everywhere and finally got fed up with it on a trip this past week. I also wanted something that was classy looking and had a full zipper. I love the material because it's easy to clean. It looks almost exactly like the Longchamp bag, too, which is the main reason why I got it. I've actually been using it daily by putting my small purse in it and am able to put other things in it as well (small jacket, water bottle, small reusable bag, etc.) It has two inner pockets which are near the top of the bag. One is zipped, and one isn't. It stays on my shoulder and doesn't slip off, unlike other bags I've had. I'm curious to see how well it holds and for how long, but so far, I'm very impressed and very happy with the quality!" — Kelsey Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in four colors). 27. A Sol de Janeiro fragrance mist in scent Cheirosa '68 that gives Baccarat Rouge 540 luxury but, like, as a much cheaper, light body spray. If you've tried anything from Sol de Janeiro, you know their scents are literally top freakin' tier, and this Brazilian jasmine, hibiscus, and sun musk little bottle of gold doesn't disappoint. Promising review: " I opened up my package as soon as I got it, sprayed it, and could not believe how IDENTICAL it smells to the Baccarat Rouge 540 perfume. It's literally the exact same. It has a very warm-smelling undertone of vanilla with top scents of Brazilian jasmine and sun musk, just like the description says on the bottle. I would definitely recommend this as an alternative for the Baccarat Rouge 540 perfume if anyone was looking for one." — Rachel Jackel Get it from Amazon for $38 (available in six other scents). 28. A Petcube — a pet-monitoring camera that allows you to check on your pet and talk to them so you don't have to leave the get-together early, again, because you're freaking out about your poor pooch at home. It's basically the fancy shmancy Furbo without the throwing treats part. Night vision — check ✅ , app-enabled with notifications — check ✅ , access to a vet on demand — check ✅ . I mean, it's seriously perfect. Amazon Check out a TikTok of the Petcube in action. Petcube is a California-based small biz that specializes in interactive HD pet camera products. You can also sync it with Amazon Alexa! Promising reviews: "Unbeatable for the money. I needed a way to keep an eye on a new 4-month-old puppy who kept digging holes in my yard. I didn't expect a lot for $39, but I was pleasantly surprised. The video is quick to get started and very clear, zoom is quick, and the night vision actually works. I haven't used any of the other features yet, but these alone make this a great value! Far exceeding what I expected." — Rick Grisham "I had a Furbo camera before, but it stopped working. I went with this option, and it was so much cheaper, and the video quality is better! Might not throw treats to your pet, but works perfect for checking in on them!" — Kaylee Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (available in two styles, multi-packs, and with a subscription). 29. A ~dazzling~ cubic zirconia ring you'll be dying to flex in because, uhmm, *double takes* is that the Cartier Love Ring? Nope, but it looks eerily similar, right? The only really big difference is the price. Promising review: "The perfect non-name-brand ring you can find, honestly. I wasn't looking for a Cartier knock-off when I found this ring, but I have had people ask me if it's the real deal. I honestly love this ring, though. The sizing was accurate, it is weighted well, none of the 'diamonds' have fallen off, and it hasn't tarnished! I've worn it daily for almost a year now, and it has held up well. It has some very small scratches on it, but that's typical of most rings. For the price, I am super happy with this ring, and I honestly can't believe how well it has handled everything I've put it through." — Eva Richterkessing Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in sizes 5–12 and six finishes). 30. A pair of comfy clogs that could pull off a Parent Trap swap with the Birkenstock Boston Clogs. If the name brand ones are Halle, these babies are Annie. The resemblance is uncanny. Promising review:"They look just like my real Birkenstock clogs!! The shape, the buckle, the fit: They all make the clog feel legit. They are also super comfy! There is cushioning in the heel that makes them very comfortable to wear. If you are hesitant, just buy them. This is SUCH a bargain considering how expensive real Birks are LOL." — Quinlan Hanrahan Get it from Amazon for $29.98+ (available in women's sizes 6–11, including wide sizes, and in 13 colors). 31. An elegant set of square wineglasses to make your *treat yourself day* wine all prettyyyy. Showstoppers, for sure. You'll be texting the group chat as soon as you get these just so you can invite people over and show these beauties off. No one will believe you got 'em from Amazon and not some overpriced shop. Promising review: "We've had four of these glasses for over six months now and finally just added four more to our collection. These glasses are SO CHIC and are very similar to ones sold at Crate & Barrel but are MUCH more durable. Unlike the C&B glasses, you can cheers without feeling like the glasses will break. In fact, they've tipped over in the sink a few times and are still intact. They dry beautifully, sparkle after the dishwasher and we get so many compliments on them. I love them!" — Katie B Get a set of four from Amazon for $34.99+ (also available in a set of two and six and in three styles). 32. A set of remote-operated flameless candles so you can stop nearly burning down your house after forgetting to blow out your candles before bed. Perfect for anyone who enjoys watching the mesmerizing flickering flame without needing the actual fire part. Plus they'll be beautiful in all your tablescape ideas and best of all, they're more cost efficient than name-brand alternatives like Luminara *side eye* 👀. You'll need three AAA batteries per candle, which will last about 150 hours. Promising review:"With the price of batteries, these beautiful candles are a must. I've always used Luminara, which, unfortunately, devours batteries and dies after several years. These candles also have a more soothing, ambient effect. The colored exteriors are far prettier than Luminara. Great gifts!" — pandorah Get a set of three from Amazon for $21.98+ (available in six colors/styles).

Definitely more consistent in temperature, creating more consistent cups of coffee." — Emily A.

I use it to prop up my feet during work hours and sometimes if I want to eat on my couch I'll use it as a tray. It's also sturdy enough to sit on, if I ever wanted to have guests over and needed an extra chair. It was RIDICULOUSLY easy to set up — I had it done in less than 10 minutes, and probably didn't even need the directions. It also just looks so darn cute (and comes in so many colors that I'm tempted to buy another!)." Promising review:"I was using a small foldable step stool in my bedroom to reach the top shelves of my wardrobe. But you know, those things aren't pretty. It wasn't be bringing me joy, just begrudging utility. This ottoman brings me joy.

I had looked in stores in the contact paper aisles, but all of them were just THIS item is actually a thin sheet of vinyl (?) with adhesive, and I ended up liking it so much I bought more and refinished my kitchen countertop with it as well!

The V-cut is not too deep, so it's appropriate and perfect for a long day at the office. No more tugging at a button-down blouse under my sweater. No more bulging buttons under a thin sweater.
