39 Products With Price Tags So Low, They Won't Elevate Your Blood Pressure When You See Them
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 · No need to transfer any funds from your savings account to get any of these things. 1. A pair of perfectly pastel wireless over-the-ear headphones if you've been trying to save up to get a pair of AirPods Max, but groceries and rent have other things in mind for your paychecks. These have super soft ear cushions and a padded headband for optimal comfort, as well as a built-in mic to take calls. There's a decent chance you'll forget all about those AirPods Max with these affordable alternatives blasting your fave tunes in your ears! iJoy is a small business that specializes in headphones and tech accessories. BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord has a few things to say about these headphones: "I own a pair of these because I'm vain as heck and need to own all things pink, but I was decently surprised by how well they muffle noise! I feel like these are ideal for people who still want to hear some of the world around them (read: parents, people working in open offices), but still want to listen to their tunes comfortably. The charge on these goes for at least four hours (I haven't tried it beyond that yet), and the Bluetooth connects to my devices super easily. Excellent pair of headphones for the price point." Promising review: "These headphones surprised me. I thought they were not going to be as great because of how cheap they are, but the bass is amazing! The noise cancellation is so good that I can't hear anything. The volume is loud, and the sound quality is a win, just how I like it. Very snug and comfy, recommend! Thanks TikTok, lol :)." — Chevelle Revero Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five colors). 2. A moisturizing and easy-to-use multipurpose blush stick to add some color and a long-lasting glow just about anywhere on your face. Plus, I've heard whispers that it's similar to the kinda pricey Pixi On-the-Glow Blush. Promising review: "I bought this and my daughter immediately tried to steal it because she thought it was the real thing. Ha! This is so easy to use and a little goes a long way. This will last for a while. And was a fraction of the price of the brand name." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in three shades). 3. A delightful and spacious corduroy tote bag so you don't have to say no to the random little handmade tchotchkes being sold at outdoor markets this spring. That little winged pig figurine being sold by a solemn-looking lumberjack-type? You need her! And this bag comes in so many fun colors and patterns, you'll probably wanna add more than one to your cart. Promising review: "I love this bag. It holds everything. I even used it as my extra allowed personal item on the plane, and I had all I needed tucked right in this bag. Even my water bottle and reading materials fit well. It's got cute style. It's easy to locate in the house because of its bright colors. Washes up fantastically. The snaps work great, so things do not easily spill out. The inside pockets are perfect for a phone and a small wallet and provide easy access to them." — L. Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 38 styles). 4. Some Glisten garbage disposal cleaner that'll foam up and scrub your disposal, leaving a fresh scent behind instead of icky drain pipe odors. Promising review:"Takes away that gross smell. It seems counterintuitive to put a little packet down your garbage disposal to clean it, but this does actually seem to work, at least for getting out weird smells that baking soda and vinegar don't really touch. I scrub the sink down first, especially around the garbage disposal area, rinse it down, and then just follow the directions on the package. I have used it with single, large-size sinks and with double sinks — the only difference is that the double sink will have blue cleaning foam rise up the drain, which you rinse away when the disposal sounds clear again. I have tried the foaming cleaner in a can, but unfortunately, it stopped coming out of the can about 10% of the way through. Went back to this tried and true." — KS Get a pack of four from Amazon for $3.78 (available in other packs/sizes). 5. A dog paw scrubber — just squeeze the bottle to unleash the antibacterial foaming formula within and get those dirty spots off Spot's paws. This is perfect for at-home and on-the-go use! Amazon, Promising review: "I wanted something that would clean my baby's paws after our walks because I didn't want germs or dirt coming into the house. It smells great, it works well, and I can see that the rubber part doesn't bother my doggy! It's super easy to use, and I use it to keep her paws clean and my house clean! 10/10, especially for the price point!" — Thia Get it from Amazon for $6.24. 6. A moisturizing and exfoliating foot peeling spray to help get your feet in tip-top (or should I say "tip-TOE?") shape for sandal season. Formulated with aloe and coconut, this spray finds a way to be both effective and gentle. So, if you've got rough, dry, or cracked feet, add this to your weekly self-care routine. It only takes a couple of minutes! Promising review:"I've been using this for a few years now. I've tried many brands and this is by far the best! The dead skin melts off effortlessly like butter, and the skin is left so smooth! I even use it on my hands once a week, and my hands are so soft and youthful-looking! It works great on rough elbow and knee skin. It's incredibly gentle on the skin. It's magic." — Vivi Get it from Amazon for $5.48. 7. A pack of duster sponges you simply dampen, and then you're ready to clean! It's that easy. Watch as it catches and removes dust, debris, hair, and stains around your home. Promising review:"I am a bit of a neat freak. These have been soooo useful for cleaning my baseboards, blinds, and fans. They can be used on really any surface, but they are specifically good in those spots. They can be submerged in warm, soapy water and reused over and over again. They are comparable to the Scrub Daddy damp dusters. There are a bunch of them in the box, and they are all individually wrapped. A great deal and a great product!" — Bryn Get them from Amazon for $7.49+ (available in six color combinations and packs of two, four, and eight). 8. A non-padded square-neck sports bra that somehow manages to be sweat-wicking, soft, and stylish. I almost can't believe it. It's got a support band to keep you comfy as you work out. Or, wear it under an open flannel like a totally-meant-to-be-seen bralette! Promising review:"Wow, I'm obsessed with this bra! I've been looking for an everyday bra for such a long time. I absolutely love this. I am typically 36D and need support no matter what I do during the day, and this bra is it. I feel comfortable, the material feels like quality, and the colors are great. I plan on buying more. Don't think twice. This is a must!" — Amazoncustomersd Get it from Amazon for $17.08+ (available in women's sizes XS–XL and in 10 colors). 9. The Pink Stuff cleaning paste — a miraculous problem-solver that can help you get rid of stains, streaks, gunk, and dirt from just about anything. I'm serious. That pan you don't use anymore because of all the caked-on food you couldn't remove? The Pink Stuff's got that covered. Literally. Try it on your stovetop, your sneakers, your walls, your get the picture. Promising reviews:"I need this in bulk!! I have tried so many cleaning solutions to get out hard cooking stains on my stove top and nothing worked! This stuff took it right out without a problem!!" — Micaela Gunderson "I was trying to get adhesive off of drywall and nothing was working. THIS WORKS on everything! It easily took off the adhesive. Then I had Corningware with a stubborn stain; I had tried everything. Then I tried The Pink Stuff, and it easily removed the stubborn stain. I will now always keep this on hand!" — David C. Rein Get it from Amazon for $5.97. 10. A skin-firming neck and chest Gold Bond cream designed to help improve the texture, elasticity, and appearance of your skin. Plus, it's got hyaluronic acid to keep your skin hydrated. Promising review:"This product is absolutely amazing and works so well and fast. It is one of the products that has transformed my neck skin in just a couple of days. I'm in my late 40s, and I always used moisturizers on my neck, but I still had dry-looking, crepey skin. Not anymore. I still cannot believe that such an inexpensive cream can make my neck skin look so plump and young. Do try it." — Momof5 Get it from Amazon for $11.97. 11. A set of boho-chic hair tie bracelets because they're so cute, they can absolutely pass as jewelry! These are designed to not damage your hair OR hurt your wrists, which can't be said of the basic hair ties you've been using that low-key cut off blood circulation. Amazon Promising review:"I love these! These add the cutest touch to any outfit. They make you feel better about wearing a hair tie on your wrist. And they function great as both a hair tie and a bracelet! Not too tight to wear as either. Love them!" — Tiara Scheurell Get a set of 20 from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in nine styles). 12. An inexpensive in-shower K-beauty hair protein treatment that'll condition and repair dry, damaged, and over-processed hair in just 5–20 minutes. TBH, I'm already obsessed with your hair evolution! Promising reviews:" This stuff seems too good to be true because of the price, but it seriously works. I have long wavy hair that's prone to frizz, and this made it suuuuuper soft. I prefer it as a wash-day essential when I plan to blow-dry my hair straight." — Lily L "As someone who frequently colors and bleaches my hair, I've tried various repair treatments, including Olaplex, K18, and Boldplex. While all of them have improved my hair's quality, this protein treatment stands out as my favorite. The results are impressive—my hair feels repaired, with improved texture and shine, especially after chemical treatments. If you're looking for an affordable alternative for high-end brands like Olaplex or K18, this is definitely worth trying." — One Woman Says Get it from Amazon for $7.60. 13. An alcohol-free roll-on Al Rehab perfume scented with citrus, vanilla, and vetiver. If you're not ready to be swimming in compliments on how luxuriously luscious you smell, this might not be the perfume for you (but I think it is). Reviewers also noted that the scent lasts all day long! Promising reviews:"This smells amazing. Like vanilla and lemon pound cake. Smells like spring and happiness and the color yellow." — LG "This scent is heavenly if you like mild, sweet scents. It is very similar to Bath and Body Works' Champagne Toast body spray, but with a hint of lemon or orange added. It's lasted me over four months of daily wear, and one application is still detectable after eight hours of work." — Namea Get it from Amazon for $5.75. 14. A super smart (and cute) humidifier tank cleaner for keeping your humidifier mold- and mildew-free for up to 30 days. It kills odor-causing bacteria, which you need if your humidifier has been spewing out some smelly smells. Promising review:"I LOVE these little fish. I've been using them for about 2.5 years now and I truly believe they help keep the humidifier and water cleaner. People don't realize all the nasty mold and bacteria that can be growing in their humidifier and then released into the air in their room! I've noticed a huge difference in mold growth when I use these fish." — Shelly Get it from Amazon for $5.98. 15. A pair of polarized round sunglasses because you deserve to look fly while protecting your eyes from those pesky UV rays. These vintage-inspired glasses are durable and lightweight. Promising reviews:"They are lightweight, polarized, and perfect for dealing with super sunny weather. I have a pair in my car all the time. Oh, and I've dropped them a million times and they don't break easily!" — Sra "I got these for a trip to Mexico, and they look and fit great! I have pretty low expectations when it comes to sunglasses. I usually get what's cheap and hope they don't feel too small on my face. These fit without any squeezing of my skull and keep the sun out of my eyes. Success!" — happy camper Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in 15 colors, as well as individual pairs and packs of three). 16. A Pikk-it hair-removal tool that'll help you pull out all the hair and fur caught in your vacuum head. Finally, you can more effectively clean your floors without secretly wishing your fluffy pet was born hairless. Reviewers also use this to clean their hairbrushes! Amazon, Promising review: "Between me (medium long hair) and my overly fluffy cat, a lot of hair and fluff was continually getting caught up on the roller brush of my vacuum. I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great! Super quick to remove all the hair/fur — in virtually a minute, then back to vacuuming with my lovely Miele vacuum." — MKS Get it from Amazon for $8.99. 17. A gardenia-scented Monday Haircare dry shampoo if warmer weather means a tad more oil developing on your scalp between wash days. So instead of wallowing in your bad-hair-day sorrows, refresh your skin and hair with this keratin-enriched formula! Promising review: "I was thoroughly impressed with this dry shampoo. It's affordable, effective, and everyone compliments how great I smell when I use it. Two bottles lasted me a few months. It does have a white cast, but that can easily be worked into the hair to become undetectable." — Meg B Get it from Amazon for $6.97. 18. A pack of four extra-large wool dryer balls to replace dryer sheets and fabric softeners. Not only will these help you save on drying time, but they'll also help ensure your clothes are softer and have fewer wrinkles. Handy Laundry is a small biz! Promising review:"These are a fantastic purchase! My clothes come out of the dryer noticeably wrinkle-free and feel soft. I've also noticed a slight reduction in drying time, which is a bonus for saving energy. They're reusable and chemical-free, making them an eco-friendly alternative to dryer sheets." — Avinash Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in packs of 6 and 12). 19. A pair of emo-chic double-buckle slide sandals because, contrary to popular belief, goths can (and DO) go to the beach. These faux-leather beauties are super easy to slip on and off, plus the buckles are adjustable! Promising reviews:"These are the BEST!!!! For the price, they are great!!! Comfy and cute!! Love them!!! Buy them now!!" — LUCIA CASTELLANO "I took a trip to New Orleans and packed these because they are very cute, but I was only planning to wear them for dinner. I ended up wearing them all day, two days in a row, and I got about 14–16k steps each day. So comfy the whole time!!" — Denise Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in women's sizes 6–10 and in six colors). 20. A lightweight E.l.f. Cosmetics serum that can be used as a serum (duh), mixed into your foundation, or applied under makeup as a primer. It's got hyaluronic acid and niacinamide to help visibly brighten and hydrate skin. This non-greasy and fast-absorbing formula is here to usher you out of a life of dry dullness and into a life of radical radiance! Amazon Promising review: "Love these drops. So effective, a little goes a long way. Great for a boost of hydration, especially in the colder and/or drier months. Great as a primer before makeup to smooth the skin. Such a value for a product that packs a punch. My skin hasn't looked better!" — Ken Get it from Amazon for $11.97. 21. A pack of Rael Beauty hydrocolloid acne patches for practically invisible coverage; they're ultra-thin and have a matte finish! These will help prevent you from picking at your skin and help draw out some gunk. And this pack comes with NINETY-SIX (96) patches in two sizes. Promising review:"I RARELY write product reviews, and if I do, it's because something is either so terrible or so incredible that I can't keep it to myself, and these are the latter!! For some reason, I have a hard time getting pimple patches to really stick to my face, and I have very dry skin. I'm also not willing to regularly spend $15 on nine patches — so when I saw these 96, I repeat, 96 patches for this price, along with a good star rating, I just had to try them. And let me tell you, THEY ARE AMAZING!! "I can put them on and then do all my skincare over top, including wetting my face for snail mucin, and they do not budge. They don't come off on my pillow or slide around, and I think they minimize and reduce redness WAY better than Cosrx, Mighty Patch, or Peach Slices. They pull out everything and don't leave you with a little whitehead to deal with in the AM. If you're not sure, just trust me, babe, I'm sure for you!" — Sydney Get a 96-count pack from Amazon for $16.99. 22. And some 6–8 hour hydrocolloid nose patches designed to target popped pimples. Plus, it'll be weirdly satisfying to peel this off and see all the gunk it's grabbed. Promising reviews:"Better alternative to Biore pore strips." — Rewired5d " My nose looks clearer and feels smoother. They're gentle on my skin and don't leave any redness. I love that they're vegan and cruelty-free too. Definitely keeping these in my skincare routine." — Daniel Get seven patches from Amazon for $9.98. 23. A lemon-scented fume-free oven cleaner so powerful you might just convince yourself you replaced your oven altogether. This heavy-duty cleaner can remove grime, stains, and caked-on food! Reviewers suggest letting it sit overnight to remove really tough stains. Promising review:"I had some oil splatter in my air fryer (oven) that I had tried to scrub away, but it didn't even budge, so I went in search of an oven cleaner and came across this magical stuff. Sprayed it on, left it overnight, and wiped it clean with a small dishcloth — no elbow grease required. I was really impressed." — Mystique Get it from Amazon for $8.98. 24. A cuuuute Skims-esque sweetheart neckline bodysuit you'll wanna wear pretty much all day, every day. It's smooth, soft, and feels like a second skin, so it's a perfect base layer for any 'fit! Promising review: "This bodysuit is amazing! The material is not sheer. The thong portion is surprisingly comfortable, which is a big plus. I'm pretty sure I need it in every color now! The price is reasonable, and the fabric is warm and comfortable. Highly recommend!" — Emily Kahle Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 10 colors). 25. A lash-extending E.l.f. Cosmetics tubing mascara that uses tubing tech to extend the look of your lashes beyond their natural length by wrapping around them. This long-lasting and lengthening formula leaves no lumps, no flakes, and no smudges. Plus, it contains 5% jojoba seed oil to condition lashes while giving you an epic lewk! BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord is a big fan: " I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black." Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades). 26. A handy bug-bite suction tool for mosquito bite relief because you're excited about tank tops and short shorts but not the fact that you'll be exposed to some nasty bloodsuckers. It pretty much sucks the irritant out from under your skin so you can live an itch-free life. Promising review:"I am a magnet for bites of all kinds and carry topical and medicines with me at all times, so I figured this would be a good product to see if it really works. It arrived Monday and Tuesday morning. I woke up with a bug bite on my arm, so I used this little tool (three times per the instructions), and immediately after use, it stopped itching! Less than 24 hours later, the bite was gone! There is a very faint red mark from using the thing, but it's a small price to pay IMO. Bottom line: It's awesome. I'm carrying it with me everywhere!" — Rebecca Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (available in five colors). 27. A delightfully scented foaming mousse formulated with coconut and shea oils to hydrate hair, define curls, and combat frizz. It's also a great mousse to use atop natural protective styles like knotless braids. Promising review: "I've recently ordered products from a widely advertised company. They were VERY expensive. I got my curls with those products, BUT they left my hair stiff. I saw this product and read all the reviews and ordered one bottle just to test it out. This morning, I applied it to my dry hair and omgoodness. My hair is curly just the way I like it, smells wonderfully fresh, and IS NOT STIFF AT ALL. I cannot believe the price either. I am going to order SEVERAL bottles of this just to be on the safe side. BOYS AND GIRLS, BUY THIS." — Henny Warren Get it from Amazon for $3.98. 28. A WD-40 pen — a multi-use lubricant in a convenient pen form! This works great at stopping squeaks, protecting against corrosion, loosening rust, and removing grime! Promising review: "I love WD-40 products and use them for everything. I spray on shovels to keep dirt or snow from sticking, spray around windows and thresholds to deter bugs, clean Sharpies off wood and walls, and, of course, stop squeaky doors. These small direct-point application pens are great. Keep one in the glove box, my kitchen 'junk' drawer, and in the house toolbox." — BBP623 Get a three-pack from Amazon for $12.86. 29. A salicylic acid-infused Sliick ingrown hair treatment solution that targets and prevents your bikini line's worst enemy. It should help reduce redness, bumps, and post-hair removal flare-ups for smoother skin, while also helping hydrate and soothe inflammation. Pool parties and beach days, here we come! Amazon Promising review: " I have terrible ingrown hairs. This product changes the game! I use it every time I get out of the shower, put a little on a cotton pad, and wipe it in the waxed area. It brings any ingrown hairs to the surface. Consistency is the key to using this product." — Amanda Hudson "Much cheaper than TendSkin but works exactly the same! Great stuff!" — Dee V Get it from Amazon for $9.66. 30. A cozy and lightweight cropped quilted jacket with an open front and floral print making it both quaint and chic! And if you didn't think it could get any better, this jacket is REVERSIBLE! That's right. Two jackets for the price of one! Amazon Promising review:"Love this reversible jacket! The quality is great; I got so many compliments while wearing it. It is cropped, so it is on the shorter side, but that is what I wanted. Highly recommend for spring! I kinda want another one…" — njt179 Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XL and in nine styles). 31. A brightening The Ordinary glycolic acid toner to smooth and even skin while exfoliating your skin and getting rid of dead skin cells. And because it's made with ginseng root and aloe vera, it's good at soothing skin, too. You can use it on your neck, scalp, back — anywhere you're dealing with dryness. Sephora Promising reviews: "Identical [alternative] for Ole Henriksen's Glow20H Dark Spot Toner solution at a fraction of the cost." — cfd416 "I love this product! I wish I had known about it sooner. I have been dealing with 'chicken skin' on the backs of my arms. I have been using this product every other day for the past three weeks, and the bumps are completely gone. I have had this my whole life. I was self-conscious, but now I can show my arms off with no issues. Would recommend to anyone!" — skinfreak1 Get it from Amazon for $8.70+ (available in two sizes) or from Sephora for $13. 33. An electric fabric shaver that'll rescue your furniture from pills, fuzz, and matted fibers. It has two speeds and three shaving hole sizes, so you can customize it to the fabric you're trying to revive. You'll be able to get your lived-on couch back to just-bought-it condition in no time flat! Promising review:"It works wonders on all my clothes, removing pilling and fuzz in seconds. I've used it on sweaters, old shirts, blankets, and even my couch! Everything looks brand new again. The design is sleek and easy to hold, and the adjustable settings make it perfect for different fabric types. The shaver is powerful yet gentle enough not to damage delicate fabrics. Also very easy to clean after use. The large shaving head covers enough surface area, saving time, and the battery life is impressive. I was initially skeptical about how effective it would be, but after using it, I'm glad I bought it. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to extend the life of their clothes to make them look brand-new!" — Alex Park Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes and five colors). 34. A fragrance-free EcoTools makeup brush cleaning spray — this super convenient cleaner is not only vegan and cruelty-free but also quick-drying, making it easy to clean your brushes daily. Just spray this onto the bristles and wipe away the residue with a cloth. This is designed for use between deeper cleans, so, sorry, you'll still need to give your brushes a shampoo now and then. Promising review:"I was pleasantly surprised at how well this cleaned my expensive brushes. The makeup came out with minimum effort and left the brushes soft and smelling fresh. The relatively low price was an extra bonus. I will definitely purchase the product again." — Ann S Raab Get it from Amazon for $6.73+ (available in two sizes). 35. A nongreasy hair wax stick to slick back any flyaways or style your edges. And its vegan and cruelty-free formula contains castor oil, which hydrates and smooths. It goes without saying that you 100% do not need to lay your edges if you don't want to! Promising review:"Thought this would be an inferior product for the price. I've always used Bed Head, but this time, when I saw what Bed Head cost, I took a gamble on this wax stick. Guess what?! It works the same as the expensive Bed Head. So save your money and enjoy this affordable, great product." — AJ Carrelli Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in multipacks). 36. A water-based instant carpet spot remover because it'll erase life's little messes in the blink of an eye. Those stubborn wine, pet, coffee, food, and dirt stains will be a thing of the past! Promising review:"The only reason I'm giving the Folex 5 stars is because there's no place to give it 10. My dog, Sweetie, while playing on the tan carpeting in the family room, got hold of a blue Pilot G2 pen and chewed through the outer casing and the ink cartridge, leaving an approximately 6x12-inch area of carpeting splotched with blue ink. It took four or five applications, but following the label instructions to the letter, the spot was totally removed. Way to go Folex. Outstanding!" — Bob Get it from Amazon for $6.99. 37. A cute and compact portable pill container that has seven compartments to house your medications, so you don't have to go rooting through the lot of pills you have to take. And it also has a dispenser lid that'll make getting to your vitamins even easier when you're traveling. Promising review: "This is the best pill container I have found. It holds a month's worth of pills in each compartment and is compact and easy to store and travel with. It is very sturdy, and I don't have to worry about the cap opening accidentally. The enclosed labels are a bonus, and the see-through exterior makes it easy to see how many pills are left. I keep it on my nightstand, and it doesn't take a lot of space." — TA Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors). 38. A set of nine hypoallergenic gold-plated hoop earrings so cute, you're not gonna want to save them for a "special occasion." And because each style is different, you'll be able to switch things up on the daily. Amazon Promising review:"I'm picky when it comes to jewelry, and I love these. They haven't tarnished on me at all or hurt my ears, and the gold isn't tacky-looking. I love the variety, and you can't beat the pricing. Also, a great gift!" — Marisa Get a set of nine from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in three finishes). 39. Three pairs of self-heating Dr. Scholl's foot masks containing shea butter to help moisturize, and essential oils to help soothe and calm. Just wear these masks for 30 minutes to get some much-deserved relief and relaxation. Amazon And, BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord swears by these: "I'm a long-ish distance runner, and these were certainly an interesting experience for my feet! You slide them on and, after a few minutes, feel a tingling, mildly burning (in a good way) sensation. It doesn't quite numb your feet, but it relaxes them. I kept them on for 30 minutes and then toweled my feet off, and the tingling sensation slowly faded over the next 30 minutes. After that, my feet felt very refreshed and relaxed at a time of day when they're usually aching from all the miles I put in. The whole thing was a mess-free, easy process, and I will definitely keep them on hand for longer run days!" Promising review:"After some shoes killed my feet after walking all day in Europe, this foot mask saved the day. It felt AMAZING on my feet and helped me recover a lot faster than just taking ibuprofen. Don't travel abroad without this!" — Maria Get it from Amazon for $11.97.

We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors.

A fun reverse coloring book so you can showcase your inner Picasso by drawing lines around colors that are already there. If your dream day involves cozying up with a snack stash and zero plans, this is your ticket to creative bliss without any haunting adult pressures. Promising review:"Changed my life. So I get anxious doing the adult coloring books. This was so much fun and made me really think outside of the box. I'm not the best at drawing but I felt like I was when I was a kid doodling in my textbooks in school." — Carley C. Get it from Amazon for $13.49. 2. A copy of Small Batch Bakes, tailor-made for those who crave delicious treats but don't want to wrestle with massive batches or face mountains of leftovers. We're talking scrumptious recipes designed for one to six people, all while keeping the equipment required to a minimum. Helpfully, this book measures in grams *and* tablespoons, so you can bake however you prefer. Promising review: "I love this book and all of Edd Kimber's recipes! This book is perfect if you want to try baking a lot of things but don't have a big family or budget. The recipes are sized-down versions of all the classics plus other mouthwatering temptations. So you can try them all without wasting money on ingredients — standard recipes make 12–24 servings, too much for my small family. Small Batch Bakes recipes are for just 2–6 servings, much more reasonable and efficient. Also included are clever use-also recipes — like if recipe A calls for 1 egg white, you can easily find a recipe B that uses that 1 egg yolk. Such a smart book to put out, thank you Edd Kimber!!" — Emily McGee Get it from Amazon for $12.36. 3. A pair of cozy wireless over-the-ear headphones designed to channel the chic vibe of AirPods Max without sending your wallet into a panic.

Promising review: "They're comfortable, hold a charge really well, and actually work really well in terms of noise cancellation. My daughter can be sitting next to me talking and I can barely even hear her. I almost prefer these in terms of sound quality to my Gen 1 AirPods as well. Easy to charge, easy to pair, very lightweight, and fit is adjustable. I'm very impressed with these headphones!" — Samantha H. Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five colors). 4. A gaming/reading/laptop pillow so you can prop your hands up and play video games, type, or read on your Kindle or iPad from bed or the couch in an ~ergonomically friendly~ way that won't catch up with you (or your joints) a few years down the line. It even has a little side pocket ideal for stashing things like your remote controls, glasses, and emergency treats. Promising review:"I work from home a few days a week, and every once in a while, my work extends into the evening hours. I have a home office, but sitting at my desk all day is sometimes very tiring. I purchased this big memory foam desk pillow so that I can relax on my couch and still put my laptop up and have a comfortable working area. This pillow is big but very comfortable. It has armrests that wrap around your sides, and they also have little pockets for random things like your cell phone or the remote. It's so nice to just lean back into my comfortable couch and have this big soft desk in front of me." — Jenn Butterfield Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (available in two sizes and another style). 5.

Promising review: "I love this heating pad so much! So soft so it doesn't hurt to use. Very long so it covers my back in all the places I need. I also use it for belly cramps, leg cramps, back pain, shoulder pain, neck pain and when I'm cold. I highly recommend. I don't know what I'd do without it." — Mel Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in three styles). 6.

Cup Cozy Pillow is a small family-owned business that started when Monica Almaguer couldn't find a way to keep her drink close to her without spilling it. So she got a pillow, cut a hole in it, and the Cup Cozy was born! Promising review:"This stays in my bed and holds my cup of water, meds, remote, reading glasses, etc. Now I don't lose anything and have my things ready right when I need them. Highly recommend this product!" — Chrissy Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in nine colors). 7.

A 10-foot lightning cable so you can continue scrolling deep in the TikTok vortex without worrying about your phone's battery entering the red zone. With this gloriously long piece of charging magic, you can stay snuggled in your "you-shaped" dent without ever having to budge. (Oh, and if you're rocking a device that's team USB-C, here's a version for that!) It's designed for Apple devices that use a lightning cable, including many iPhone models, iPads, and the AirPods Pro. Promising review:"You can never go wrong with extra long charging cables! My wife and I use these for charging our phones on our nightstands so we can use the phones in bed without over stretching shorter cables. The braided cables are nice and the red connectors add a little pop of color. We've had other brands of cables fall apart at the connector in a short amount of time but these seem pretty solid." — Mr. D Get a pack of two from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in five colors and four other sizes). 10.

Promising reviews: " After seeing these all over I knew I had to buy one for the crochet lover in my life. Even very experienced-in-crochet people find this relaxing and enjoyable as a fun side project on a rainy day. Because they had prior experience, they did not need the video instructions and were able to complete the Wooble with just the written ones. They often commented on the quality and ease of completing this kit. Thinking about trying it out myself now!" — Morgan K "I already love to crochet, but got this as a gift for a newb. Let's just say she's now hooked on the craft (see what I did there?) and is now developing a yarn problem." — Honest Reviewer Get it from Amazon for $29.96+ (available in seven styles and a bundle with four kits). 11. Three pairs of ~tingly~ warming foot masks infused with a soothing blend of Epsom salt and menthol — the gentle warmth helps these ingredients dive deep into your foot muscles for instant relief, while shea butter and essential oils leave your skin incredibly soft and moisturized. They're perfect for anyone who's on their feet all day — like this hairstylist who gave them a glowing "10/10" rating. BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord loves these: "I'm a long-ish distance runner, and these were certainly an interesting experience for my feet! You slide them on and, after a few minutes, feel a tingling, mildly burning (in a good way) sensation. It doesn't quite numb your feet, but it relaxes them. I kept them on for 30 minutes and then toweled my feet off, and the tingling sensation slowly faded over the next 30 minutes. After that, my feet felt very refreshed and relaxed at a time of day when they're usually aching from all the miles I put in. The whole thing was a mess-free, easy process, and I will definitely keep them on hand for longer run days!" Get three pairs from Amazon for $11.97. 12.

Promising reviews: "I've tried them all — cheap knock-offs and expensive ones like Stanley, Hydro Flask, and so many others — and this is hands-down the best water bottle!! I love that I can use it with the built-in straw or use it as a open water bottle just depending on how I tip it while drinking. It's seriously perfect. My husband has been using a Stanley for four years and switched to this after seeing mine. No more leaking, or spilling." — rowleypolie "Without a doubt everyone has heard the uproar over huge insulated cup brands using lead to make their cups. If that is a concern for you, then there is no need to worry about this one. This cup is made lead-free and works phenomenally! I always put ice in my Owala with my water and notice that all the ice is still there over a span of 48 hours and still freezing cold." — DietDrKelp069 Get a 24-ounce tumbler from Amazon for $27.99 (available in 15 colors and four sizes). 13.

Very, very soft, would definitely buy again." — Daniel Get it from Amazon for $46.66+ (available in three colors). 15. An Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K that allows you to stream all of your favorite entertainment and use voice commands to control settings with ease.

Promising review: "Behold, the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K – because who needs sunshine when you have a remote control and a couch? This little device is like a magic wand for turning living rooms into entertainment kingdoms. It's basically the scepter of laziness.

If you want to create things with clay, this is definitely a good choice! It's definitely not for professional use, but I feel like that's a given? I mean, it is Crayola. But all in all, great for those who want to use it for fun!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $10.96. 17.

This was my first attempt at embroidering a whole image, I even surprised myself at how well I did and how well these turned out. These felt so fun, I blew through them. They felt like 'paint by numbers' but with thread on fabric. It makes me want to buy more pre-coordinated projects because it was so mindless. Very little thinking involved for me." — Katie Lee Get a set of three from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in eight styles). 19.

And a bath overflow drain cover so you can sink into a blissful bath that's full-to-the-brim without worrying about any water draining away.

SlipX Solutions is a small business that specializes in safety-oriented shower and bath accessories. Promising review:"I have a high-stress job, and I've started taking baths as a way to unwind.

Promising review:"I am a person who will make myself sick eating buckets of popcorn (I have no self control). This has by far been my favorite 'TikTok made me buy' item.

Shoppers say these headphones rival Beats — and they're down to $20
We all need a good set of over-ear headphones. Sure, you can drop $200-plus on fancy headphones loaded with features you'll probably never use. But if you just want comfy, reliable wireless headphones, iJoy Wireless Headphones could be the solution for you. And right now, you can grab these cans for just $20 at Amazon. If you want budget-friendly wireless headphones that actually deliver, most audiophiles will point you to headphones like Beats, which cost well over $100. But the no-frills iJoys are just as good and they won't leave your wallet empty. While the headphones in black are the only ones on sale, they're also available in six other colors with prices varying, but no more than a few dollars. These cans are incredibly comfortable and lightweight. The ear cups are soft and comfortable, the fit is secure enough to survive a gym workout — and you won't feel them sitting on your head. You can expect great sound quality — even if you're not an audiophile, you'll notice the crisp treble and balanced bass when you play. As for battery life and durability, you can take them on vacation without worrying about them getting beat up, and charging is fast and strong. Taking a call? The built-in microphone allows you to answer calls from your phone. And there are physical controls for the usual functions: play, pause, track and volume. They even have a built-in radio receiver — a mode switch takes them from Bluetooth to FM radio. Without good sound, there's no glory and iJoy crushes it with shoutouts from more than 61,000 five-star fans. "I love these, the sound is about as good as my Beats and for the fantastic price they are better," said an enthusiastic shopper. "I'm a music therapist so I've had years of ear training in University and performances. I can tell a little difference from my Beats but the average person probably won't. I use these for watching tv late at night so I don't disturb my husband who isn't a night owl like me." 'They hold their charge for several hours and the sound is very clear,' wrote one five-star fan. "I didn't realize that they also had the ability to receive and play FM radio on their own (with static) so was kind of strange experience when I hit the pause button on my audiobook and started hearing music and talking (I reconnected my phone and the Bluetooth took over again fine)." This shopper put it best: "These headphones have an amazing sound! Seriously reminds me of surround sound in a movie theater. Amazing sound!! Very comfortable on my head and ears too!! Earpieces are very cushiony!" "The only con I have experienced is that if I wear them for a longer period of time, at some point my ears (on the outside) will start to hurt a bit," revealed one reviewer. "But that's not a deal breaker. I just take it as a sign to either take them off or switch to my AirPods." Another reviewer agreed: "The headphones do hurt my ears a bit after a couple hours, but maybe my ears are on the bigger side." If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)

It definitely stands out, and the older ladies at my work love it! It works well as a seat cushion, as my office chair is so thin I can feel the metal and plastic bits when sitting. With the cushion, it's super soft and comfortable!" — Jane Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in two sizes and six colors). 9. An electric mug warmer because nothing ruins your cozy desk vibes quite like reaching for your coffee only to find it's gone cold.

Reviewers suggest turning the heat down from high to medium once the drink gets down to about the halfway point so it stays a comfortable temperature! Check it out on TikTok (where one reviewer even has the genius idea to use it as a candle warmer at their desk, too)! BuzzFeed editor Jenae Sitzes wishes she had bought it sooner: "After seeing this coffee warmer all over BuzzFeed Shopping and even gifting my dad one for Christmas, I finally decided to buy one for myself. Based on all the reviews, I was pretty confident I'd soon be kicking myself for not getting it sooner, and that proved to be true: This thing not only looks good but works great for keeping my coffee warm all day long. (Because yes, I'm one of those people who'll sip on coffee until 5 p.m., all right!!) I was kind of worried it'd be too small for some of my larger mugs, but the center plate is bigger than expected and accommodated every mug in my (very eclectic) collection perfectly. I can confirm that flat-bottomed mugs are the best option for this warmer as they do stay hotter, but it still keeps my concave-bottom mugs warm enough for my taste. Also, I looove how sleek the white version looks on my white desk, and the auto-shutoff function is a nice safety feature for an absent-minded person." Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in nine styles). 10. A slim desktop whiteboard if your desk is littered with distracting sticky notes that always seem to get lost anyway. This memo board is designed to fit comfortably between a keyboard and a monitor, creating a designated place where you can write out all your absolutely-cannot-forget reminders again and again and again. The whiteboard also comes with a dry-erase marker, an accessory channel (to hold the marker), and a storage drawer. Promising review:"Never thought something analog would be SO useful in my daily routine. I work from home and am constantly project managing a number of complex strategic projects. Having pertinent information directly in front of me and top of mind has done incredible things for my productivity. Never would have imagined it would make such a difference. For a nominal investment, I highly recommend it if you have trouble keeping up with things." — Captainflapjax Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in four styles). 11. Or a wall-mounted acrylic dry-erase board for a major aesthetic upgrade to standard dry erase boards with all the same schedule-tracking, note-taking, and organizing prowess. 1801 & Co. is a Minnesota-based Etsy shop established in 2016 that specializes in family wall calendars, chore charts, wedding signs, and more. Promising review: "I love it! I got it so fast after ordering, and it's perfect. I love the sleek design for my small home office space. I can't function at work without a dry erase board but couldn't find any that would look nice in my office space, which is in the corner of my master bedroom! Having functional office space without LOOKING like an office in the bedroom is challenging, but this acrylic board is PERFECT. The black pen that comes with it is very nice fine tip and erases without a trace." — Dawn Powell Get it from 1801 & Co. on Etsy for $32.73+ (available in 19 sizes and three hardware styles/finishes). 12. A jumbo printed desk pad to cover up all those stains, chips, and scratches (How'd those even get there?) with any one of a vast collection of colors and patterns to suit any taste. Plus, you'll LOVE all the free-range mouse movin' you can do with all this newfound space. Promising review:"I really like this mat — I've had it for several months now, and it hasn't faded or scuffed at all. Makes my basic office cubicle desk a little prettier and does the job I really needed it for — to soften the surface of my desk because I hate the way my mouse sounds without a mousepad. Several coworkers have complimented the design and asked for the link!" — AliB_Art Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in 24 colors/prints). 13. Super pretty rainbow prism sun catchers so you can bask in sunny rainbows even if you're stuck inside working. Who can't help but smile at a rainbow?! Promising review:"I put two of these in my home office window, where the sun shines in the morning. Every morning, it's an explosion of cheerful rainbows and sunshine, and it just makes me happy to be alive! The quality is excellent. Even though they aren't crystal, I honestly don't think you would ever see a difference if they were, other than being a few hundred dollars poorer. They are heavy, remarkably clear, smooth, crisp facets, and appear flawless." — Dr Hall Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.98. 14. A capybara desk companion that'll just about force a smile out of you whenever it catches your eye, even when Jake from IT is getting on your last nerve. Dapple & Dot / Etsy 15. A precious little mushroom lamp if you're short on space but big on your love for all things cottagecore. This lovely little mush casts a soft glow across your desk, with 16 colors and four brightness levels easily controlled with a remote. Promising review: "Cute, cute, cute! This is one of the cutest night-lights ever! Not only does it change colors, but it can also be controlled remotely and changed in a variety of colors and effects, from flashing to slowly fading from one color into another, or if desired, one constant color to match any decor. The brightness can also be adjusted. And the wood base gives it more than the look of a toy; it is perfectly classy." — roika Get it from Amazon for $22.99. 16. A space-efficient bamboo multi-device charging dock for corralling the sprawling mess of tech and chargers into one designated display that practically doubles as decor. Great Useful Stuff is a Utah-based small business selling a tight selection of home and lifestyle goods that embody the brand's name. Promising review:"My desk was full of chargers and cords. This really helps keep everything organized and puts those cords out of sight. I also use the dividers to store a notebook, so you can use it for other things besides computers, phones, etc. I also really like the material. I got the light bamboo." — Stephanie Get it from Amazon for $48 (available in four other styles). 17. A tufted height-adjustable swivel chair to bring a warm sense of cozy into your WFH cubicle that almost looks too good to be considered so comfortable by so many reviewers. Promising review:"This is great. The chair is perfect. I bought this as my desk chair and it's awesome. The set up is very easy and quick. It's also very comfortable. It looks exactly as pictured. Very very happy with this purchase." — ollie1234 Get it from Amazon for $64.99+ (available in two materials and five colors). 18. Or a modern high-back armchair with a wheeled base so you can tilt, rock, swivel, and roll the workday away in a comfy chair that looks fit for the C-suite. Promising review:"I got this for my son's desk and thought it was a little hard to assemble. The quality itself was awesome. The support was great, and its ergonomic features felt very relaxing. I loved this product and [would] definitely buy it again." — Anuj Bhartiya Get it from Amazon for $117.28+ (available in nine colors). 19. A set of adhesive cable organizers that combines style and organization to tame the tangled mess of cords currently overtaking your desk. Brighttia / Etsy Brighttia is a New York-based Etsy shop established in 2018 that specializes in industrial and modern interior lighting and decor. Promising review:"These brass cable organizers are beautiful and high quality. I'm using two of them to keep a plug-in sconce cord attached to the wall and to direct the cord to the electrical outlet. These little gold pieces add a touch of functionality and glamour to the sconces. Exactly what I was looking for." — Amy Margolis Get it from Brighttia on Etsy for $22.98 (available in 12 colors). 20. Or a universal magnetic cord holder to eliminate the need to go excavating under your desk for fallen charging cables. Promising review:"I was looking for a cable holder that I didn't need to adhere to my desk — this is it! Superb quality and heavy enough not to slide off the desk. As visually pleasing as it is practical." — Paul Michael Krieg Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two sizes and six colors). 21. A compact hydroponic bulb vase and holder if you're looking for a low-effort way to introduce a little greenery to your all-too-beige cubicle. Promising review:"This is a cute addition to any office especially where space is limited but you still want some live plants." — Guale Owens Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 22. Or a set of Lego succulents because whether you've got more of a black thumb than a green one, or your office is just stupendously devoid of sunlight, this charming collection of "plants" will soldier on and deliver joy week after week. 23. A 360-degree rotating headphone holder for a minimalist desk add-on that finally answers the age-old question — What the heck do I do with my headphones when I'm not using them? Promising reviews:"I have a white desk and a light gray chair, and this headphone hanger matches the design perfectly. The quality and simple hinged design is brilliant. The adhesive is very strong, provided you clean the surface before applying and let it cure for 24 hours before hanging anything on it." — Henry Ting Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in black and white). 24. A geometric dinosaur sculpture to keep your desk candy stash a secret! This little guy has a majorly big mouth that's perfect for stashing sweets, keys, or anything else that might need a fearsome protector. Promising review:"Honestly better than I thought it would be. It looked cool online, and I bought it as an impulse buy and was not disappointed. It's heavy and well-made. If I had any complaint, it's that due to the shape of the jaw, some jelly beans fall out if I don't grab them carefully, but I've decided that's a small price to pay for this epic protector sitting on my desk." — David Get it from Amazon for $44.98+ (available in three colors). 25. The indomitable lil' dumpito so when you get *another* passive-aggressive email from Jan, you have a venting buddy who always passes the vibe check. The Mad Labs Studio / Etsy 26. An adorable cactus humidifier that's powered with a USB cable and moonlights as an emotional support succulent while delivering the soothing airborne hydration your skin and hair crave. Promising review: "I LOVE these little humidifiers! I bought my first one to use at my desk at work because the air is so dry in the building, and it has been a godsend. Not only does it help keep my sinuses happier, but it looks great, too. I bought a second one for my nightstand that I use while I sleep at night, and they both work perfectly." — Selene Schneider Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three styles). 27. An adorable display stand if you spend more time looking for your readers than you do attending meetings. Entrust your specs to one of these adorable little critters and watch them quickly become your new fave coworker. Promising review:"Kept misplacing my glasses in my home office, and this has been the perfect fix. It's small and doesn't take up too much space. It's sturdy and holds my glasses in place." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in 11 animal styles). 28. A souped-up lap desk with a built-in mouse pad, wrist supports, and phone/tablet holders, because sometimes the only way to get cozy at work is to leave your desk and head for the couch. 29. A paper-wrapped floral desktop organizer for bringing a whole lotta color to your dreary workspace and getting organized at the same time. Rifle Paper Co. Promising review:"I bought this to corral a lot of small notepads and some larger but not full-size notebooks on my desk. It also holds my planner. It does its job well. And I love the cheerful flowers." — Hannah W. Get it from Rifle Paper Co. for $19.20 (originally $24; available in two styles).

34 Budget-Friendly Products That Certainly Do Not Give Off Budget-Friendly Vibes
1. A pair of wireless over-the-ear headphones that are giving AirPods Max energy with their sleek look and premium cushion padding — except, of course, getting these won't require you handing over hundreds of dollars. They also feature a built-in mic for calls, 10 hours of battery life, and do a decent job of blocking out noise! iJoy is a small business that specializes in headphones and tech accessories. BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord owns these: "Because I'm vain as heck and need to own all things pink, but I was decently surprised by how well they muffle noise! I feel like these are ideal for people who still want to hear some of the world around them (read: parents, people working in open offices), but still want to listen to their tunes comfortably. The charge on these goes for at least four hours (I haven't tried it beyond that yet), and the Bluetooth connects to my devices super easily. Excellent pair of headphones for the price point." Promising review: "I really like these headphones. The noise cancellation isn't 100% but it's pretty close. The color is really cute and music comes through really clear. Calls are good as well. I wish the buttons on the side were a bit raised but that's it. For the price, these are really worth it!" — Sophia Taylor Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five colors). 2. An expensive-looking duffel bag with quite the resume. It's durable and water-resistant; plus, it has long handles to easily lug it around, a side panel to hook it onto a suitcase, and compartments to keep your wet/dirty clothes separate from your clean ones — check, check, check, and check. Promising reviews: "Used this bag for all of my dog's things on a cross-country move. We stayed in multiple hotels and did not have any issues with ripping or anything getting broken. It is sturdy, collapsible, and looks like an expensive piece of luggage. LOVE IT!" — victor forrester "This bag is amazing!! It's the perfect size for all my gym stuff. Clothes, shoes, water bottle, pre-workout, headphones, toiletries, etc., and it can be made smaller or bigger height-wise with these little buttons they have on the side that you can snap down. Very cute. It also has some inside mesh pockets to help separate things better. If you thinking about it, just buy it!" — Sarah Chambers Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two sizes and in dozens of colors). 3. A scoop neck top that's really giving Skims a run for their money. It's super soft with the perfect amount of thickness and stretchiness, making it the perfect versatile staple for your closet. Promising review: "At first, I was a little skeptical — I have been wanting to find a Skims-like material shirt for a while but didn't want to pay the price of one lol, and this shirt feels amazing. I will be getting one in every color now." — Julianne Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in women's sizes XXS–3XL and 33 colors). 4. Nyx Fat Oil Lip Drip formulated with vegan squalane, raspberry oil, and cloudberry oil to hydrate your lips while providing some serious shimmer. It's comparable to the Dior lip oil and UNDER $10, so everyone say "thank you" to Nyx. 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 $7.54+ (available in 14 shades). 5. Some peel-and-stick palm leaf wallpaper to transform any room into a Pinterest inspo photo. This design is almost indistinguishable from West Elm's tropical wallpaper — except it's ~actually~ affordable. It really is just peel and stick (no paste or glue needed), and if you mess up, that's totally fine because you can simply reposition it! It also doesn't leave behind a residue, and it's steam- and moisture-resistant, so you can revamp your bathroom without worrying about it peeling. Promising review: "I used this in a little bathroom refresh, and it was perfect. So easy to apply and makes me feel like I'm at a bougie Palm Springs hotel. I love it!" — Pilatesandpapaya Get a 28-square-foot roll from Amazon for $35.92 (available in a two-pack and two other colors). 6. A deeply nourishing collagen-coating hair mask that only needs 5–20 minutes to revitalize your hair — and trust me, your strands will thank you. This treatment will leave your mane softer and glossier (it's the ceramide 3 and protein extracts!), and reviewers love how effective it is in repairing their damaged hair. You simply won't find another hair mask that works this well and is this affordable (*side-eyes Olaplex *). Promising reviews:"I have 4c hair and was looking for a protein treatment for my thin and fragile hair. I had recently used a product in my hair that had so much alcohol in it; that wreaked havoc on my hair, leaving it pretty damaged. I was very skeptical about this product because I have never seen anyone with my hair type use it. Boy was I wrong to doubt this product, it left my hair looking and feeling beautiful. I highly recommend it to anyone natural or with curly hair." — Therese-Claire "I have super fine, blonde hair. I've ran through likely hundreds of different hair masks and leave in conditioners over the years, only to have them cling to my hair like nothing else, often leaving it feeling waxy and heavy. After a few rounds of clarifying shampoo, I reached for this stuff and it legit brought my hair back from the grave. Even with my hair being extremely fine, it leaves it soft, glossy, and gorgeous! I know some people have said they're not a fan of the smell, but I find it to be super light and refreshing. Could not recommend this stuff enough!!" — Soph Get it from Amazon for $7.62. 7. Some oversized square sunnies for when you want to add some Bottega energy to your 'fit but don't have the extra cash to spend on a *real* designer pair. These have polarized lenses and UV protection — so they do more than just make you look chic and stylish. Promising review:"I've been looking at these sunglasses at Bottega Veneta for months but just couldn't justify spending the hundreds of dollars because I lose sunnies so often! These are EXACTLY THE SAME! The weight of them, the detail on the sides. The only difference is the brand name is not on the side (obviously LOL) Love these so much!" — Shelley Cooper Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in 14 lens colors). 8. And some Bottega-esque teardrop earrings you can wear with any 'fit for any occasion — not many accessories can look as equally amazing with a shirt and jeans as they do with a floor-length gown, but these pull it off! 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 an extra-large size). 9. E.l.f's brand new Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara that wraps each individual lash in tiny, lightweight "tubes" (hence the name) made of flexible polymers for maximum length and volume. And the real magic happens when you remove it: Instead of smudging or smearing, these tubes cleanly come off with just a little warm water and gentle wiping — so NO raccoon eyes! Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action. Emma swears by this budget-friendly option: "I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black." Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades). 10. An affordable longline sports bra made from a very soft, stretchy material that's pretty similar to the Lulu Align tank. It's quickly become a staple in a ton of reviewers' wardrobes (with 29,000 5-star ratings to prove it), and many say they don't even wear a bra with this because of the supportive padding. It's so good, people are snagging it in different colors — and you'll probably want to as well. 😉 Promising review:"LOVE. It is super comfortable to wear and is great for supporting my chest when I go on a run. Doesn't collect sweat. Very nice and cool material for hotter environments. I have it in so many colors because I love them so much. HIGHLY recommend!" — Cheyenne Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 29 colors). 11. And a pair of lightweight legging-style joggers to complete your Lulu look. And just like the Lulu ones, these are breathable with a wide waistband for maximum comfort. You can wear them to work out, run errands, or just lounge in! Promising review: "These are literally the best leggings/joggers I have ever owned, and I plan to eventually buy every single color. I originally saw these on TikTok and heard they were like the Lululemon ones but cheaper. I've never owned Lululemon leggings, but if they feel anything like these, then I have clearly been missing out. These are soft and absolutely perfect. I love the pockets and jogger style and that they fit like leggings and can be worn to the gym or dressed up with a cute outfit. I need to buy every color of these before they're gone!" — Courtney Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 23 colors). 12. L'Oreal's True Match Lumi Glotion so you can glow like a beautiful sunset without spending three times as much on Drunk Elephant's D-Bronzi Drops. This adds a lightweight tint that creates a natural dewy look, perfect for mixing with your favorite moisturizer or layering with foundation! Promising reviews: "I used this with my Olay Regenerist Cream (it helps with my wrinkles). I mixed it, and it does a great deal of shine! You should buy it if you're looking for a Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi Drops substitute! Way better than Drunk Elephant." — raegan kuball "I actually like this glowy lotion better than the Drunk Elephant one, and I have both. This goes on smoothly and is not greasy. It leaves you very glowy with a beautiful tan and works well with makeup on top if you so wish. Lasting power, too. Recommend." — ggvega Get it from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in five shades and as a two-pack). 13. A vegan leather shoulder bag that's so versatile and chic, you'll be pairing it with everything from a casual tee and jeans to a sleek dress for date night. It comes in a stunning range of colors that you'll want to collect like Infinity Stones — and I mean, you literally could buy *four* of these for the same price as JW Pei's adorable Joy shoulder bag. Promising review: "I'm amazed at the quality of this bag!! Like helloooo, don't think, just buy. To think I almost bought the JW Pei original. This will do just GREAT." — Olive Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in nine styles). 14. A marble board wire cheese cutter for effortlessly slicing through cheese with precision — and when you're not using it, it'll just sit pretty on your counter, adding a touch of style to your kitchen. Amazon Check out a TikTok of the cheese slicer in action. Promising review:"My mother-in-law had purchased one last year and I tried hers at Christmas and fell in love with how easy it was to use. We have a lot of get togethers with friends and cheese is a staple appetizer in our house. So I purchased my own and have been using it weekly since. It cuts easily and it's mostly easy to clean. Sometimes cheese gets stuck in the crack but some scrubbing with a small brush usually does the trick." — Jessica Get it from Amazon for $17.64 (available in two colors and two styles). 15. A lightweight Sol de Janeiro hair and body fragrance mist in scent Cheirosa '68 — infused with a lovely blend of hibiscus, jasmine, and sun musk, it's reminiscent of the iconic Baccarat Rouge 540 (but won't leave your wallet crying). Promising review: "I finally received my new body spray yesterday and was in complete shock at the resemblance to Baccarat Rouge 540. This body spray is so delicious. It is definitely a Baccarat Rouge 540 [alternative]. There were so many reviews that said how much this body spray resembled the very pricey perfume, and they were all correct. I absolutely love Baccarat Rouge 540, but it's so expensive compared to other perfumes like Chanel, so I opt not to purchase it regularly. This body spray is a wonderful substitute for overpriced perfume. Today will be my first day wearing the spray, so hopefully, it has great longevity throughout the day as well. 🤞🏼 Regardless, I would still purchase it again moving forward." — Tina Get it from Amazon for $25+ (available in two sizes and 10 scents). 16. And a moisturizing body wash giving similar vibes, because you deserve to smell ~luxurious~. This white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber–infused formula will get you pretty close to the OG without spending an arm and a leg. Emma says, "I bought this after being peer-pressured by all the lovely reviews and I'm happy to report it lives up to the hype. The scent is lovely — it has depth with a hint of floral, but it's light and not at all overpowering. My favorite thing about it is how easily it pairs other scents, because I am a body mist gremlin who swaps out her scents every day. The lather is also deeply satisfying and I feel quite refreshed and squeaky clean without ever feeling dry." Promising review:"Cremo's body wash is nothing short of exceptional. If you're a fan of luxurious fragrances, this product will quickly become your new favorite. It boasts an incredible scent that perfectly mimics Baccarat Rouge 540 — a fragrance renowned for its sophisticated and captivating aroma. What sets this body wash apart is not just its stunning scent but also its longevity. The fragrance lingers beautifully throughout the day, ensuring you stay enveloped in that luxurious aroma long after your shower." — Ralph D. Thompson II Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three scents). 17. A set of affordable lavender shower steamers to turn your everyday shower into a mini spa experience. Just set one on the floor (not *directly* in the flow of water, but to the side), and it'll release a soothing scent, enhancing the experience with some lovely aromatherapy. It's great for anyone who loves a little self-care after a long, draining day. Read more about aromatherapy and stress and tension at Johns Hopkins. Promising review: "Hubby bought these for me because I work full time and just decided to go back to school full time, and he figured I'd be a little stressed, haha. They all smell wonderful, they work great, they'll definitely help me calm down especially during exam time at school or budget season at work." — Tyleena Gloeker Get a set of six from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three styles). 18. A stunning laptop tote bag if you've been dying to own the luxurious Béis Work Tote but don't have over $100 to spend on a bag. This tote is just as wonderful, with a padded pocket that fits up to a 15.6-inch laptop and many other compartments for all the stuff you'd need for your day. The handles and shoulder strap are both adjustable and detachable, so you can also wear it different ways! Promising reviews: "It's much more spacious than it looks. It's very sleek and stylish. I use it as my work bag and find that it looks professional and has enough space for all of my stuff. I carry a laptop, pencil case, two books, makeup bag, water bottle, wallet, lotion, phone and laptop charger, and other small miscellaneous objects. Still plenty of space. And when you carry it, it doesn't feel bulky or cumbersome." — Su " Purchased for my daughter, who is an attorney. She said she really likes it and has gotten many compliments on it from her peers." — J Cliett Get it from Amazon for $34.86+ (available in nine styles). 19. Or a trendy tote bag that could get mistaken for the Longchamp Le Pliage bag — it even folds into a tiny rectangle just like the OG. (Whether you decide to tell people you got it for waaay less is up to you.) It's the perfect commuter bag and can easily hold your laptop, iPad, and all of your daily essentials! Promising review: "I absolutely love this bag!! I needed something to use when I'm traveling, especially for 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). 20. A sleek, water-resistant fitness smartwatch with 70 activity modes to track everything from your heart rate and daily steps to calories burned per workout. It even receives calls and texts, so you can sneakily stay in the loop while your group chat is blowing up during a meeting. It's honestly very similar to an Apple Watch, but, of course, for way less money (like waaay less). Just some extra info for ya: It has Bluetooth connectivity that's compatible with both Android and iOS. And since there's a built-in microphone and speaker, you'll be able to answer and make calls, but you can only receive texts, not send them (since there's no keyboard option). Promising review: "This is a great inexpensive alternative to an iWatch. This watch has exceeded my expectations in quality, battery life, and usefulness. It can go 5–7 days on one charge, has over 400 watch faces to pick from, and will track steps, sleep, heart rate, and blood oxygen levels. It comes with three different interchangeable watch bands so you should be able to find one that works for you. I'm extremely hard on watch faces, but the crystal on this watch is still perfect two months after purchase and I wear it 24/7. I loved mine so much I bought one for my daughter." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in five colors). 21. A set of satin pillowcases that'll have you smiling in your sleep knowing how much you saved getting these instead of dropping over $50 on a single Blissy pillowcase. These create less friction on your hair compared to cotton pillowcases, which helps reduce frizz and breakage; plus, the satin just feels so soft and cool on your skin. Amazon Promising reviews:"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 "These are really nice — perfect price point too. There's no difference between these and the same pillowcases from Kitsch at three times the price." — Keri Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 35 colors and four sizes). 22. A classic herringbone necklace with a striking resemblance to the $13,000 Tiffany HardWear one, but this chain will elevate your wardrobe without breaking your budget. This with a black tee and jeans? Instantly chic. Promising review: "I've been thinking about purchasing the Tiffany version of this necklace but when I saw this one, I decided to purchase it. So glad I did. It is beautiful and very substantial. When I first put it on, couldn't believe the weight, in a good way. Feels and looks expensive, and the color of the gold is perfect, in my opinion; not too yellow or orangey. Love, love, love this necklace!!!" — FAXA10 Get it from Amazon for $19.94 (available in six styles). 23. A 100% leakproof temperature-detecting coffee thermos that'll keep your beverage hot or cold for up to 24 hours, all while keeping you updated on its exact temp. Plus, it's made from a special corrosion-resistant stainless steel, so you can use it over and over (and over) without your drinks tasting like rust. Promising review: "I ordered one based on reviews and it did not disappoint. I like my coffee HOT and my water COLD, and this lets me know exactly what to expect. It keeps ice for HOURS, as in well over 24 if the lid is on and over 12 even if the lid is off. Best feature ... I've managed to drop it TWICE in as many days and although the top is a little scratched (I had a sleeve from a different bottle that almost comes up to the lid), thermometer still works. Still leakproof. Couldn't ask for a better thermos." — Kelly H. Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in six colors). 24. A sparkly CZ tennis bracelet because you actually don't have to spend an arm and a leg on a Swarovski to feel opulent. This one looks just as elegant and timeless and can be worn everyday or to special events. Promising reviews: "Soooo pretty. It's 100% a Swarovski [alternative] for so cheap. Looks exactly like the photo, and I wear it every day." — Trysten Walters "I just lost my very real gold tennis bracelet. I've heard good things about this company and decided to order one that looked like the one I lost. It just came in, and it looks as nice as my real one. I don't know how it will do as time goes, but for $19, it's a great buy." — Alina Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in three lengths, 14-karat gold-plated or 18-karat gold vermeil, in yellow, rose, or white gold, and in packs of two). 25. A set of elegant cylindrical wineglasses to make drinking any beverage feel like you're celebrating something — and TBH, finding an affordable Crate & Barrel alternative IS cause for celebration. Joy Jolt is a small business that specializes in modern and pop culture-themed drinkware and kitchen accessories. Promising reviews:"Beautiful wineglasses. I am obsessed. They are so modern and elegant. The quality is really nice. They arrived very well packaged. Definitely worth the money." — Maybeline "Sexy glasses. Kinda over the stemless glasses, and these are [an affordable alternative] for the expensive ones from Crate & Barrel." — 1talleah Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.95 (available in three styles). 26. And a set of vintage-inspired glass coffee mugs with gold spoons if you'd rather not splurge on the nearly identical set from Anthropologie. Putting your favorite drinks, desserts, or snacks in a beautiful vessel just elevates the vibe. Amazon Promising review:"These are so cute and look like an Anthropologie [version] for a fraction of the price!" — corriescott Get the set of two from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in seven styles and sets with matching lids or saucers). 27. A reviewer-beloved set of double-brushed microfiber sheets that are so incredibly soft and luxe, you'll never want to leave your bed. If you're tired of waking up in a pool of sweat every night (or sleep next to someone who's a human heater), you're in luck, because reviewers say these have a remarkable "cooling" sensation. *And* they have deep pockets (18 inches to be exact!) that'll fit over even the thickest of mattress toppers. LuxClub is a small business that specializes in soft, durable, luxury-style sheets. P romising reviews: 'LOVE THESE!! I was searching for a sheet set that would help me sleep more comfortably at night and found these. I have terrible hot flashes with night sweats and get up in the morning just miserable. Of course, these do not eliminate my hot flashes as no sheets will, but they definitely make my nights much more comfortable by eliminating wet bedding and I definitely appreciate that! Aside from their moisture wicking abilities, they are very soft, easy to look at and launder extremely well. I would highly recommend these for anyone shopping for sheet sets and especially for anyone experiencing night sweats!! ' — Shannon Warfel "Super soft, great quality, good price. Saw these advertised on TikTok and had them sitting in my cart for months. My sister bought a set and when I felt how soft, I immediately bought them." — Donna Baker Get it from Amazon for $27.96+ (available in sizes twin—California king, with deep pockets, and in 40 styles). 28. A cubic zirconia ring if you're not ready to drop over $1,000 (!!) on the Cartier Love Ring but still want the look. You'll find yourself wearing this with basically all your outfits — it's just that easy to style. Promising review: "The perfect non-name-brand ring you can find honestly. I wasn't looking for a Cartier knockoff 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 $8.99+ (available in ring sizes 5–12, three finishes, and two styles). 29. And a gorgeous cocktail ring set that looks like it costs at least a thousand dollars, but nope! — it literally costs less than the shrimp carbonara from Olive Garden. Reviewers say it's very durable, so you'll be able to rock it for years to come. Promising review: "First let me say I LOVE THIS RING!!!! I wear it all the time. I've been wearing it for over a month now and in the beginning I tried to take it off when doing dishes, showering, and washing my hands. After about two weeks I just decided to leave it on and it has been fine. I never take it off, the ring is true to size. It's not too thin or thick, feels great on, and it is durable. The only con is that the stones can sometimes look cloudy. Other than that I love it couldn't be happier, it's great for the price and I am very pleased." — tracy k revels Get it from Amazon for $20.39 (available in four colors and ring sizes 5–10). 30. A TikTok-viral "Soft" perfume rollerball that packs a punch with its sweet, long-lasting fragrance that reviewers compare to lemon cake, warm vanilla scones, and this $65 bottle of Pink Sugar. Plus, it has high sillage so prepare to be turning heads when you're walking down the street — and all for five dollars. 🙌 Sillage refers to the trail of scent that lingers in the air after someone wearing perfume passes by. Promising review: "Like so many, I found this scent on TikTok. I was a bit skeptical at first but finally got around to trying it. First off, this scent smells amazing! Almost every time I've worn it, I receive compliments. It has a sweet smell, almost like warm cake or sugar cookies with a hint of lemon. With such an affordable price, I would definitely recommend this to anyone curious about trying it." — Chrissy Get it from Amazon for $6.10 (available in a perfume). 31. A pack of vegan and cruelty-free Lilac St. Original Lashes you can wear for up to 10 days (yes, you read that right!). They're a more affordable and accessible alternative to salon lash extensions but still give you the same flawless result. The silk lash fibers attach to an ultra-thin band that adheres well, giving you natural, wispy lashes that'll have you feeling like you're in the Winx club. ✨🦋 Check out why these are a fave in this TikTok. Promising review: "Y'all I have been a loyal Lilac St. customer since they started and I will never leave them. These are the absolute best quality. I get so many compliments. They are the most natural and most comfortable to wear. I use multiple times by using makeup remover and water to remove any glue. Seriously will never stray." — Katiew Get them from Amazon for $12.95 (available in four sizes, seven styles, and a starter kit that comes with the Originals in two sizes, lash glue, and an applicator). 32. Kitsch's iconic claw clip that's built to last, so get ready for this to be your hair's new best friend. The teeth are specially rounded to prevent hair damage while holding your locks securely; plus, it comes in gold and silver, so you can match it to your jewelry and give your daily 'fit a more put-together vibe. Kitsch is an LA-based, self-financed, woman-owned business established in 2010 that specializes in hair accessories. Promising review:"Love that you can dress this up or down! It is my go-to accessory for working in preschool to put my hair up quickly. It is elegant and classic. It is amazingly durable even in getting thrown in the bottom of my heavy work bag! I am amazed by this clip. I have coarse medium thick hair and it is the perfect size." — Niki Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two colors and packs of two or four). 33. A set of glass battery-operated LED flameless candles so you can have ~ambiance~ and fall asleep to candlelight without worrying about starting a fire. Just like the Luminara faux candles (which cost three times as much 👀), these are remote-controlled, allowing you to adjust their brightness and even set timers! These require three AAA batteries per candle that will last you about 150 hours. Promising review:"With the price of batteries, these beautiful candles are a must. I've always used Luminara, which unfortunately, devour batteries and die after several years. These candles also have a more soothing, ambient affect. The colored exteriors are far prettier than Luminara. Great gifts!" — pandorah Get the set of three from Amazon for $22.99 (available in six styles). 34. A trio of lip sleeping masks that essentially do the same thing as the Laneige one (providing deep hydration and nourishment) but for waaay less money *and* you get THREE of them! It's primarily an overnight treatment, but it can also be used as a lip balm throughout the day — so you're getting some serious bang for the little buck you spent. Promising review: " This is the most moisturizing lip treatment on the market. When my lips started getting dry due to the cold season I was thinking of buying the Laneige lip mask, but it's soooo expensive. This is a fraction of the cost and feels just the same. Very good product." — Riya Get a set of three from Amazon for $9.90 (available in six scent combos). The reviews for this post have been edited for length and clarity.
