    34 Inexpensive Things That Might Trick People Into Thinking You’re Fancier Than You Actually Are

    Bougie home decor, clothing items, organizational products, and more that are all under $50.

    1. A set of amber soap dispensers because nothing screams "I HAVE A LOT OF MONEY" like sleek nonlabeled soap dispensers, even if you got the soap inside from CVS with your 40% off coupon.

    2. A faux leather button-up shacket in a neutral color that will instantly dress up your favorite white tee and jeans. You'll look so classy, people will just assume you got it from a fancy boutique.

    3. A flat outlet plug to help you eliminate the clutter and eyesores in the mess of cords around your plugs, because it's the small details such as these that really make a big difference in your home.

    4. A Baggu reusable bag that folds up so small so you can slip it in your bag and then have it ready when you buy something at the store. Not only will you be reducing your plastic waste but you'll also feel much fancier walking around with it over your shoulder.

    5. A maxi cutout dress I'm pretty sure is guaranteed to make your confidence level shoot up the second you put this on. And when you're radiating confidence, you'll feel like a gd superstar, trust me.

    6. gold watering can and mister you can not only use to water your plants, but then leave out after you're done as a chic piece of decor. Plus, you'll never have to admit to your friends that you used to water your plants with a boring old cup. 

    Promising review: "This watering can is so easy to use, and it holds a lot more water than you would think by the size. I also love the cap that comes on the end of the spout — a great way to avoid spills!! Appreciate the pretty mister that comes with it, too. Both look very nice on the shelf where I house my plants in front of a window." —MC Phillips

    Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in three colors).

    7. A Béis seatback organizer that keeps all your in-flight essentials (e.g., phone, e-reader, magazines, etc.) in the pocket so you'll feel like you're in first class, even if you're in the last row right next to the bathroom.

    The seat-back pocket on a plane is great and all, but with all the random magazines and other items, your stuff can get lost. This little thing has a hidden magnetic closure, an interior zip pocket, and four slip pockets to keep your essentials, such as your beloved lip balm, close to you and ready for whenever you need them.

    Promising review: "This is the perfect travel accessory I never knew I needed! I’m a travel dork that likes to get all situated and prepared for a long flight. I need my lip gloss and hand lotion in close reach at all times. And now hand sanitizer and wipes as well. All of the little pockets are great. Besides those items, I also packed my Kindle, ear buds, phone, moisturizer, and pens for our customs forms (because ultimately there’s going to be someone around you that forgot their pen!). No more reaching into the seat back pocket and finding someone’s melted chocolate wrapper, gum or dirty tissue. No more phone falling through a rip in the pocket. Every travel nerd needs this!!" —Shelby D.  

    Get it from Béis for $24 (originally $34; available in black and beige).

    8. An embellished mesh sleeve bodycon dress you can pull out when you need something that will make you look (and feel) absolutely stunning. No matter if it's a wedding, party, or just a date night, you'll feel like a shinning star in this dress.

    9. An acrylic earring stand here to give you a place to store all your earrings instead of just leaving them in a big pile on your dresser. Not only will it be super easy to find the exact pair you're looking for, but it will also serve as a piece of decor in your bedroom.

    The displays

    10. A satin pajama set that'll not only make you feel like a Real Housewife when you wear them, but also help keep you cool in the summer so you can sleep better and not wake up in the middle of the night sweating.

    11. dried floral arrangement so you have pretty flowers forever, and you don't have to keep buying new ones at the store. This is perfect for anyone who loves the look of flowers but hates the fact they have to keep buying them week after week.

    12. A wine stain-removing spray so you can enjoy your girls' nights drinking wine and watching The Bachelor without fear that someone will ruin your couch or carpet. You'll basically have Oliva Pope-level confidence because you'll know if you do spill, there will be no ~scandal~ and the spray will get the stain out, leaving no trace it was ever there.

    13. Garage magnets meant to make your current garage door look like a fancy-schmancy carriage door without having to spend a buttload of money replacing the darn thing.

    16. A CovoBox made to look like a stack of books, but it's actually hollow on the inside, so you can use it to cover your Wi-Fi router that's awkward sitting out. Say goodbye to clutter and hello to beautiful (and functional) decor.

    17. And a TV cord cover to disguise the cables that are visible under your wall-mounted TV. The cover will blend in with the wall and make it seem like the cords aren't there at all. And that, my friends, is fancy-people magic.

    18. An oversized T-shirt and biker short set for a monochromatic look sure to give the Kardashians a run for their money. What's that? You don't need to spend $100 for a comfy and chic lounge outfit?!? Amazing!

    Promising review: "I wish I'd have bought these years ago. Having a dinner salad has always been a choice of cramming it into a bowl or having it fall off a plate. With these, that issue is solved and, as a bonus, things like pasta are much easier to serve and eat. They are very well made and heavy." —CNorris

    Promising review: "This looks really nice in person. The size is perfect for sugar, salt, coffee and pastas. I love it, it make my kitchen look more professional haha. The ball cover design is cute too. The glass feels strong enough not to break but also not too heavy to hole with one hand. Over all great product. I would buy it again." —Song

    24. An underwire bodysuit giving me big Boss energy, even if you're just the boss of your own life. This style with basically any bottom is sure to be a 10/10.

    Promising review: "I purchased this bodysuit to wear to a concert and didn’t think I would ever wear it again, but I was PLEASANTLY shocked with how amazing it turned out. I have a larger bust but a smaller waist so I ordered a small, the fit was perfect. The straps adjust really well and everyone LOVED my outfit." —Hope Perkins

    Promising review: "I just tried these last weekend at an outdoor wedding with an indoor reception. They were amazing! I kept them on all night. First, I walked outside in thick grass, and the wedding photos were taken in a mushy grassy area. I didn't sink even a little bit. It was fantastic. My heels were fabulous. I then decided to leave them on for the rest of the night since they made my heels more stable and comfortable. So glad I tried them. I was showing them off to the other ladies, and everyone loved the look of them." —J. L. Dossey

    26. A wooden egg holder because even the inside of your refrigerator deserves to look good — plus as an added bonus, you'll know exactly how many eggs you have left, so you won't get all excited to make cookies, only to realize the carton is empty. Isn't that just one of the worst discoveries, ever?

    27. A Revlon cream eyeshadow reviewers swear stays in place all day and doesn't fall on your face, so it looks like you got your makeup done by a professional when really it was just you ~winging~ it in your bathroom.

    28. A wine decanter you can pour your bottle of wine in (even if it's a cheap one) to make it feel like you're enjoying the bottle at a 5-star restaurant. And bonus: it will aerate the wine and make it taste even better.

    33. Some velvet slipcovers to completely transform the ragged old couch into something that looks brand spanking new (and oh-so-chic). Plus, the slipcover comes with straps to keep it in place so you don't have to futz with it all the time.

    34. A set of elevated cat bowls made to be angle to reduce neck strain in your cat. The wide style of the bowls also prevent whisker fatigue and the stainless steel mean these bowls will look chic as hell in your home. Yes, it's totally okay to spoil your princess with these bowls.

    Promising review: "I love this bowl unit. The tilt angle is adjustable so depending what angle you insert, it could be flat, slightly angle to extremely angled. Its level for my cat. It also looks fancy. I highly recommend this product." —Berta Fernandes Barbosa
