    42 Inexpensive Products That Are Totally Worth A Couple Of Bucks

    "[Money] well-spent [on products like eyebrow pencils, scalp massagers, microfiber cloths, and more] brings a week of content."

    1. A sink caddy with draining slots to filter out excess water. Plus, it has super strong suction cups that will actually stick to your sink.

    2. Vegan and cruelty-free deodorant wipes formulated with coconut milk, witch hazel, and shea butter to block out all Pepé Le Pew-level odors.

    3. A scalp massager that will make you feel as if you're getting a professional shampoo at the ritziest salon in town. This nifty little thing deep cleans your hair for a commercial-worthy mane.

    4. Microfiber cloths ideal for glasses, jewelry, camera lenses, smartphones, tablets, TV screens... the list goes on and on. Looking to clear off those fingerprints on your iPhone? Here's your answer.

    5. A satin pillowcase because beauty sleep is no joke, and this will actually keep your mane tamed whilst you snooze the night away. Seriously! This will prevent your hair from tangling and snagging.

    6. Sheet masks to revitalize dull and tired skin, because heaven knows that eggnog, stress, and "cookies for Santa but I'll eat them myself" tends to wreak havoc on your complexion.

    7. A food scraper and chopper that can do everything from cut the cheese (yes, I just made a middle school joke) to separate dough from your countertop.

    8. A mink oil to restore your favorite leather boots while conditioning 'em at the same darn time. Plus, this oil is HERE to protect against future scuffs and damage, as well.

    9. A luxury hand cream infused with vitamins e and c to provide the best gift you can give this winter: MOISTURE! Plus, this contains the calming scents of lavender and espresso AKA smells good enough to devour.

    10. A Trader Joe's sea salt, garlic, and onion seasoning to make EVERY bagel taste as delicious as a New York bagel. Because as it stands, nothing can compare.

    11. An eyeshadow palette packed with pigmented, neutral shades you can rock every darn day. Plus, it's super tiny and won't take up half your carry-on the next time you travel!

    12. Magnetic all-purpose clips because true heartbreak is chomping on a beautiful Dorito just to realize that — GASP — it's gone stale.

    13. A checklist notepad to list all 708 things that need to be done today, of which only three will actually be completed. But hey! At least they were all written down!

    14. Adhesive hooks you can easily install on any surface. And even better? They're easy to take off, too. These nifty little things won't damage your walls!

    15. A 3-in-1 avocado slicer that can pit, spit, and slice avocados like there's no tomorrow. This nifty little tool? It truly guacs.

    16. A wine stain remover for when your red, red wine refuses to stay close to you and instead decides to spill on your favorite TJ Maxx blanket. Don't worry — it can be saved.

    17. A hair brush designed with flexible bristles that will detangle your (very tangled) 'do without painfully pulling chunks of hair out in the process.

    18. Reusable silicone food huggers that keep produce fresher for a longer period of time. This means you can eat half a pomegranate, save the rest for later, and it won't be gross by the time you're ready to eat it!

    19. A wall-mounted bottle opener for the new apartment renter who barely remembers to buy toilet paper. A beer bottle opener = one of those obvious things that they'll never really think to buy.

    20. A translucent powder to set your makeup for a flawless finish — and one that will actually last.. Like, all day long! This is the perfect dupe for high-end products that also come with a high-end price tag (AKA way too high for my budget).

    21. A rosewater facial spray with so many uses, it's hard to keep track of 'em all! This can set and refresh your makeup, give foundation a dewy appearance, add refreshing hydration to dull-looking skin, and help keep breakouts at bay.

    22. A non-abrasive cleansing and polishing powder perfect for porcelain, copper, glass, tile, stainless steel, plastic, and brass. Grab your cookware set, folks, because the before-and-after photos are about to get GOOD.

    23. Reusable chopsticks for the pal who would likely eat sushi for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if it weren't for the inconvenient possibility of mercury poisoning.

    24. An eyebrow pencil that — no offense to her, honestly — Mona Lisa really could have used. This pencil has the ability to give you full facial caterpillars with just a few swipes! Again, not trying to be offensive.

    25. Crystal hair pins to add a touch of glitz and glam to your 'do. I won't outright say that Meghan Markle probably owns these, but...

    26. Dye-free multi-purpose wipes made with essential oils that will leave your abode smelling minty fresh, which will in turn leave you feeling fresh. Spill on aisle kitchen? Wipe it up with this.

    27. Iridescent, reusable stainless steel straws currently on a mission to save the environment, one less one-use plastic straw at a time.

    28. The Little Book of Sloth Philosophy filled with fabulous golden nuggets of truth, including that a good nap is ~more restorative~ than an early AM jog. Wink.

    29. A before-you-go toilet spray formulated with a concentrated blend of essential oils that will neutralize... funky bathroom odors. Yes, the kind that you cause.

    30. A horror-themed coloring book for the pal who prefers Halloween to Christmas, thank you very much.

    31. A cast iron snuffer for the candle connoisseur in your life who lives and breathes the Bath & Body works semi-annual sale. This nifty tool quickly puts out a flame without getting soot on the walls!

    33. A weighted cell phone stand with an anti-skid bottom to keep your pocket-sized computer upright and accessible at all times.

    34. Fridge bin liners to keep the most important part of your home — the part that stores your food, of course — lookin' neat and clean.

    35. A lavender mint spray for the dedicated fitness fiend who swears by hot yoga. You know the thing about hot yoga though? Extreme sweat. This spray = the only thing that will keep their mat from getting stinky.

    36. A polish remover that won't destroy your poor, defenseless, already-pretty-darn-weak nails. Dare I say, this gentle formula will actually condition and prep 'em for a fresh coat of lacquer.

    37. A cruelty-free butter bronzer to fool everyone into thinking that you don't spend prime daylight hours sitting in a cubicle. This stuff will give you a gorgeous sun-kissed glow.

    38. A fashion sketchbook complete with shoe, makeup, and clothing templates you'll want to gift the aspiring Coco Chanel in your life. If they make it big in the style world, guess who they'll have to thank? You. What does that mean? Free clothes.

    39. A plant-based moisturizer currently employed by the Lord of Skincare to hydrate and nourish your skin — without using a ton of harsh ingredients and icky chemicals in the process.

    40. Cleaning pods for your K-Cup coffee machine. These'll wash away residue and oils to help prevent your coffee from tasting like bean water.

    41. A cleaning brush set complete with a bottle brush, a straw brush, and a detail cleaner to really sanitize the dark depths of that water bottle and stainless steel straw you use... every single day.
