33 Cheap Things That Probably Belong In Your Cart

Including ornate covers to transform light switch fixtures from drab to fab.

1. A Mielle Organics scalp oil formulated with rosemary mint to stimulate new growth. TLDR; Reviewers say incorporating this into their regimen two to three times per week helped thicken and lengthen strands.

2. A standing organizer if you're sick of tossing your favorite earrings into the abyss that is your jewelry box. Perhaps you'd wear more of your statement pieces if you, um, actually knew where they were? This is practical, affordable, and loved by over 13k reviewers.

3. Mini crew socks from Hue because there is nothing quite as tortuous as feeling your sock slip slowly toward your heels whilst wearing tight ankle boots. I feel the phantom blisters forming just typing about it.

4. Non-slip coasters to prevent drink condensation from pooling into every crevice of your cup holders; not to mention that crumbs will be as easy to remove as one, two, lift up the silicone, beat out said crumbs, and voila. No rogue French fry bits relaxing by your transmission.

5. A Neutrogena Hydro Boost body cream that reaps a ton of praise from ye old TikTok gods for being both hydrating and fast-absorbing. That's right, folks. No more waiting — *checks watch* — a half hour before slipping on your pajamas and crawling into bed.

6. A "magic mushroom" that folds into a funnel for transferring oils, juices, spices, and more. This cottage-core kitchen gadget is made from a durable silicone, is dishwasher-safe, and is definitely a staple in the home of every Smurf villager.

7. A tub of screen wipes if Netflix marathons have ever been compromised by the thick layers of dust coating your TV. These are quick, easy to use, don't leave behind streaks, won't ruin expensive electronics, and reviewers swear they have an anti-static property to prevent accumulated gunk.

8. A Dash mini waffle maker that *may* inspire you to replace that morning cereal bar with an actual sit-down breakfast. Anything edible in the shape of a pumpkin = a very happy me.

9. A NatureLab Tokyo oil mist to deliver stunning shine with a single spritz. Platinum fiber, pearl extract, hyaluronic acid, and grape stem cells say ~be gone~ to dull hair for a glossy mane that won't feel weighed down (even if you have thin hair). We love that "I got a trim" look without chopping off inches of hair.

10. A switch plate cover that transforms living room decor from drab to fab in minutes, plus it's renter-friendly and easy to remove. It's giving "mansion from The Chronicles of Narnia" vibes and I won't be explaining further.

11. A six-port outlet that swivels because the only outlet in your entire bedroom is covered by a heavy dresser. Say so long, farewell to wiggling furniture out in order to make room for bulky plugs: this lets you charge six devices at the same darn time.

12. A Bella Jade setting spray to lock in your look with a green tea formula so that humidity, sweat, tears: It's all irrelevant when you've topped your foundation with this hydrating stuff, which works to seal your makeup and prevent it from turning into a greasy mess (no small feat).

13. A ColourPop concealer that costs less than $10, but don't be deceived by the affordable price tag — this is full coverage and gives expensive formulas a run for their money. Dark circles will be covered like a dream *and* a dynamic duo of hyaluronic acid and coconut water keep your skin supple and hydrated.

14. A wood polish lauded by one reviewer as the ~best money they've ever spent~. Trying your hand at furniture restoration has never been so easy: a few drops of this formula is powerful enough to cover even the most unsightly scratches.

15. A plant-based powder that solidifies cooking oil and transforms it into organic waste, aka you can toss it straight in the trash afterward! It also gets rid of that iconic cooking oil stench *and* prevents clogged drains.

16. A portable vacuum that plugs right into your car port! Cue the orchestra music folks, because it's time: Bid a permanent adieu to the mountain of crumbs, dust, and more crumbs that have taken residence in your passenger seat.

17. A 60-pack of 3D bats to make your drab hallway look like the meeting point for a vampire convention — in a spooky-but-cute way, of course. Psst: These come with adhesive backs for easy hangin'.

18. An I Dew Care dry shampoo, a non-aerosol alternative for vacuuming up grease with a vengeance. An effective trio of biotin, black ginseng, and root-boosting powder comes in genius packaging — a small container with an attached puff for application that's as easy as dab, dab, dab.

19. A Sabatino truffle honey if you, like me, would eat literal dog food if it were covered in truffle. This condiment elevates any at-home recipe from chicken sandwiches to charcuterie boards, the latter of which will fool your friends into thinking you're a food genius.

20. A curling rod headband that's been hyped by the TikTok masses for delivering flawless waves — no hot tools or arm strength required. Simply wrap damp locks around the roller, fasten with the provided clip, and snooze the night away.

21. A set of silicone stretch lids because the idea of matching plastic lids with their appropriate container genuinely keeps me up at night. Save yourself the stress and use these to cover bowls, mason jars, etcetera.

22. A multipurpose glass kitchen board you'll love if you have a lot of style, but *not* a lot of space. This functions as a trivet for hot pots and plates, makes for the ideal cutting board, and is the only way I'd like to display fruits, meats, and cheeses from now on. Talk about a gouda investment, eh?

23. A pumice cleaning stone capable of removing calcium, lime, and hard water stains on everything from your toilet bowl to your outdoor barbecue. The stone itself is also surprisingly gentle and won't scratch the surface of, say, your porcelain throne.

24. A Nooni whip maker that takes bland face wash and transforms it into a luxurious experience. "But how!?" By creating micro-bubbles for a rich, fluffy foam that promotes a more gentle cleanse.

25. A raised rib draining mat if your kitchen is roughly the size of your thumb. This is a compact, three-tier design that easily triples in length when you have too many dishes to count — because those fancy draining racks are for people who have countertop space. And we? We don't have that.

26. A beechwood board for making fresh, delicious gnocchi from the comfort of your kitchen. Simply knead dough into the ridges, designed to create the *perfect* shape for holding an optimal amount of sauce — reviewers swear preparation and cook time takes less than an hour from start to finish.

27. A sleek bed skirt because I know that I technically shouldn't be using my under-bed for additional storage (bad design vibes) but... I do. I really, really do. And this keeps me from seeing my luggage, winter clothes, and shoeboxes jutting out from underneath my queen.

28. A disco ball because I have not been to a club in ages and have no intention of going to a club ever again, but making my bedroom feel like Studio 54 via sparkly decor?! I'm down.

29. A universal StopShroom so you can enjoy that so-pricey-it-hurts Lush bath bomb to the fullest knowing that your soak won't sneak back into the drain after *checks watch* three seconds. What's that I smell? Relaxation. And perhaps a hint of lavender.

30. A derma roller to combat scarring and cystic acne indentations with a few simple strokes. This specific model is more affordable than other rollers on the market (we’re talking an $80 difference) but equally as effective. #bless

31. Food-grade mineral oil, because your trusty cutting board could truly use a little (or a lot of) TLC. This odorless formula helps restore and protect wood and bamboo surfaces, plus gives them a good deep clean. Go forth and use this on butcher blocks, countertops, knives, and more!

32. A Bestool detangler brush that's especially fantastic for 3a to 4c hair: it's designed with eight flexible combs that turn detangling wet *or* dry hair into a pain-free process. So long, tearing out strands in the name of more defined curls! We've just streamlined that process forever.

33. A daisy egg yolk separator so you can no longer wing it post-crack — because raise your hand if you've ever bitten into a homemade macaron to realize the additional crunch was...an eggshell that made its way into the batter. Just get this.
