Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women’s.
1. A suede and nubuck cleaning brush because that rainy run-in has left your suede shoes looking more stained than stylish. This brush will diminish the look of water stains with no additional cleaners required so you and your favorite shoes can enjoy another (hopefully drier) outing together!
Shacke is a small manufacturer based in Baldwin Park, California creating useful travel products like packing cubes and luggage tags.
You can totally use it with another cleaner or spray if you want, but it seems like reviewers have success without it! It just takes some elbow grease.
Promising review: "I am very impressed with this product. I was new to suede shoes and instantly regretted buying gray-colored shoes once I got them dirty. Luckily I found this lovely thing. Very easy to use, straightforward packet comes with it that tells you which sides to use and when. I would definitely recommend this since you invest so much in those shoes you might as well keep them nice and clean!" —Celeste
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
2. Plus, a battery-operated fabric shaver to revive well-loved sweaters and leggings by removing pilling and matted fibers so the budget knit you've been rocking for years can still pass for "I just got this" levels of new.
Be sure to pick up two AA batteries! They're not included.
Promising review: "I LOVE THIS. I have seen this product all over TikTok and have been thinking of getting it for a while. It is the best thing ever. It removes all the little fuzz balls on my leggings or sheets. It helps me relax honestly. I recommend." —Kayla foulk
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in five colors and two styles).
3. A hydrating snail mucin repairing essence for soothing *all* skin types (reviewers love how gentle it is) and potentially helping heal acne scars, fade dark spots, and smooth fine lines, since nothing screams "I'M RICH" quite like incredible skin.
Promising review: "My skin dries out severely during the winter all the time, and I have to constantly use Vaseline to keep it moisturized (normal cream doesn't work on me). Imagine my surprise when my SO tried to put snail goo on me, eww!! I resisted for weeks refusing to use this product as she constantly vouched for its abilities. After a month I finally gave in, and boy it is amazing! My hands feel more moisturized than ever for longer and it doesn't leave a disgusting greasy feel as Vaseline. Take it from a once non-believer, you have to try this. Even if it doesn't work for you, you paid a fraction of what you would've paid for any other name-brand moisturizers." —Kyoko Ozaki
Get it from Amazon for $17.
4. A three-piece knit lounge set that'll revamp your at-home wardrobe with a cozy matching set perfect for romanticizing the heck out of your life on a relaxing Sunday.
Promising review: "I already have this set for myself but I bought another one for my sister. Let me tell y’all, the stretch on this is AMAZING and it’s incredibly soft. Blown away with this and will be buying another one for my wedding!" —Moly
Get it from Amazon for $48.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 17 colors).
5. A massive tumbler with a handle if you love the iconic sleek look and leakproof performance of that ~other~ pricier option, but don't want to spend a small fortune to get it. What this version lacks in internet hype it certainly makes up for in functionality and savings.
Promising review: I’ve had this for a little over a month now and am so happy with it. I previously had an expensive, big-name mug and the handle fell off. This is reasonably priced, holds ice just as well as the big names, is sleek, and the lid screws on tightly so no leaks. My kids have dropped it a few times and you might get a little liquid that leaks out of the straw, but otherwise it is leakproof. I’m happy with my purchase!" —Aleshia
Get it from Amazon for $29.49+ (available in 2 sizes and in 28 colors/styles).
6. A delightfully multipurpose water tint so you can enjoy two high-performing products for ridiculously cheap. This non-sticky, lightweight stain treats lips *and* cheeks with a natural-looking (yet unnaturally long-lasting) wash of color.
Promising review: "I bought the Benefit version a couple of months ago and was very underwhelmed by it, but this product is sooo soo much better than Benetint. The pigment is so good and natural at the same time. A 10/10 for sure. And at this price point what’s there not to like?" —Rachael
Get it from Amazon for $6.85+ (available in five shades and combo packs).
7. An adjustable mini belted pack because the jig is up and fanny packs are cool again (not to mention so functional). Wear this lightweight option around your waist or shoulder, and then buy yourself a little treat with the money you saved not splurging for the mega-popular Lulu version.
Promising review: "I love this bag! It’s the perfect size for concerts, looks more expensive than it is, and is just all-around useful and cute. I met another person with this bag and we both just gushed about how great it is. Highly recommend!" —Brooke
Get it from Amazon for $13.98 (available in 44 styles).
8. Or an on-trend crescent shoulder bag for giving any plain Jane outfit the designer "that girl" finish it needs without actually paying designer prices.
9. And a leather cleaner to gently remove tough stains while conditioning leather so you can get worn-out shoes, gloves, and purses back to looking just as good as the day you bought 'em.
Leather Honey is the family-owned small business behind this decade's old formula.
Not for use on suede, and be sure you mix this concentrate with water before using! It's potent stuff!
Promising review: "This is my first review on Amazon because I really want to share how great this product is! I'll keep it short and sweet. I bought this product because I've never seen so many positive reviews on an Amazon product before. I love white and cream leather but it's a pain to maintain. The product did wonders to it! I can't wait to use it a second time to get my items even brighter and restore it." —RN
Get it from Amazon for $18.95+ (available in 3 sizes).
10. A sleeveless bodycon maxi dress if the Kim K version is out of budget but you still want all that comfy softness wrapped up in a snatched silhouette that's incredibly versatile.
Promising review: "I have the Skims bodycon as well, and this is a great alternative! The Skims dress is ribbed and the fabric is thinner and softer, but I don’t think that the Skims dress quality increases proportionally with the higher price point. If I were to purchase another bodycon dress, it would hands down be this one. It hugs my figure beautifully and can be layered and styled for all seasons. It’s one of the most versatile pieces in my wardrobe!" —Makayla Curtis
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in sizes XXS–XL and in 10 colors).
11. A set of supremely cozy wool-blend crew socks that just might accidentally ruin every other pair in your drawer for you. Now you understand ~exactly~ what Danny Pudi meant when he told Larry King that good socks are a luxury he can't live without.
Promising review: "Love them! They are so warm. I am cold every month of the year. My feet stay blue. Not with these. They are warm, look good, and feel good. I can wear them with a low-cut shoe. I’ve washed them in the machine and hung them up to dry. No problem. Highly recommend for those of us with perennial cold feet." —Frances
Get a set of five from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in various color combos and styles).
12. A six-piece set (!!) of matte lipsticks so you can join the legion of reviewers already dragging big-name brands for their overpriced products when this multipack exists for half the price and works just as well (if not better).
Promising review: "What can I say, I saw a TikTok about this lipstick, and for $10, I had to try it! The reviews are right, for some reason, this lipstick is better than even $20 name-brand ones bought from Ulta. Not only does it smell great, but it dries in under a minute and survived eating a cupcake, a Starbucks drink, and an entire evening out, with no smudging, and it had to be removed with a makeup wipe. Fantastic product!!" —Claire
Get a six-piece set from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three sets).
13. A painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen because traditional strips are tough to use, SO expensive, and can leave you with teeth sensitivity that is, in my professional opinion, NO fun. This pen requires just one minute of daily use. And the best part? No lingering sensitivity.
Promising review: "This is by far one of the best teeth whitening pens I’ve used. It is easy to use and there is no burning. The directions are short and to the point. I’m a busy mom of two littles and I was able to apply this while holding my youngest. 10/10 recommend to anyone who doesn’t have the patience for strips or the time for a full on whitening kit. Works great!" —Jolynn Samuels
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $18.95.
14. Some adorable ear muffs to swap out your go-to beanie with a timeless touch of fluff that's superbly warm and gives off major winter snow queen vibes.
Promising review: "I love everything about these earmuffs!!! They are so warm, soft, and fashionable. Everyone wants to know where I bought them. They are the best I’ve ever had before! I would definitely recommend them to anyone." —Debra Fall
Get them from Amazon for $11.95 (available in five colors).
15. A silicone-free L'Oréal moisturizing treatment for anyone who wants visibly healthier-looking hair FAST — like, eight seconds fast. This rinse-out formula works on any hair texture or length, delivering the proteins and amino acids necessary for a shiny, flippable mane with no pricy salon visit required.
16. A subtle nail concealer that adds a semi-sheer, buildable wash of color to easily mask any yellowing or uneven discoloration. Yeah, it's kind of pricy for a bottle of polish, but it's still far cheaper than a professional mani and reviewers insist it's worth it.
Promising review: "As a 62-year-old woman who gardens, cleans house, etc., I needed something that improved the look of my nails without looking cheap or crappy. This was more than I wanted to spend on nail polish...but totally worth it. Two coats showed NO ridges and looks better than natural without looking fake or cheap. Totally worth it!" —Unbiased Independent Reviewer

Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in five shades).
17. A simple tennis bracelet if the tennis-core TikTok trend has you coveting this timeless style, but splurging for a Swarovski is not in the cards. Your day will come. Until then, snag this under-$20 lookalike.
Promising review: "This is a great bracelet. It looks expensive and I get a lot of compliments on it. Very true to the description. Would buy again for gifts, etc." —Mary Fitzgerald
Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in three sizes and three finishes).
18. A pair of high-waisted faux-leather leggings because they combine all the comfort of your casual go-to in a style that's elevated enough to take out on date night.
Promising review: "I purchased these faux leather leggings during a late-night Amazon shopping spree. They don't look faux at all, are well-made, and I receive compliments every time I wear them. They are also extremely comfortable and fit like a second skin. They are super warm so I probably would not wear them in warmer weather but they are perfect for the fall and winter. They shape well and stay put! There is no rolling or slipping down with these babies. Put them on and they are going to stay where you put them. I love them!" —Kelly C. Albanese
Get them from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in sizes XS–4X Regular and S–4X Tall).
19. A jewelry-cleaning pen to return cloudy gems to their former, out-of-the-box glory without shelling out for a professional cleaning. Yes, even that old ring from Claire's you've kept since middle school.
Promising review: "I inherited some really special jewelry from my great-grandmother when she passed, but it hadn't been worn much since her dementia diagnosis and had just been sitting out getting dusty and dingy. One piece, in particular, is a 1.25-ct oval-shaped citrine (our birthstone) pendant in a pineapple set. It was filthy and you could barely even tell that it was a citrine; it was so cloudy and covered in dust and gunk. I used this for about four minutes really getting into all the little spaces and crevices of the pendant, and when I was finished I literally cried. It was beautiful and sparkly and just perfect. I wear it almost every day now and clean it with this pen about once a week just to keep it sparkly, but now it only takes about 30 seconds." —keith may
Get it from Amazon for $9.48 (also available in 2-pk, 3-pk, and bundle).
20. A faux leather quilted slip-on sneaker for a comfortable staple style that basically no one will believe you snagged for under $20, except for the many, many 5-star reviewers who are already in on the secret.
21. A stackable cocktail ring set that screams "bespoke" instead of "I'm broke."
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 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 $22.99+(available in four colors and ring sizes 5–10).
22. A long satin robe if your vision of wealth is floating around your home in a chic dressing gown and not the shapeless sweats and high school band tee currently in rotation.
KIM+ONO is an Asian-owned small business with a long familial legacy (30 years!!) of crafting gorgeous kimonos.
Promising review: "Great kimono! Beautiful color and nice fabric. Love the pockets and inner belt to keep it all together. Looks way more expensive than it is. Recommend this if you want to step up your loungewear!" —JP
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in One Size and One Size Plus).
23. A trio of hydrating lip sleeping masks so you can wake up every morning to a luscious Angelina pout without spending every waking moment digging in your bag for the $2 tube that kind of feels like it's doing nothing anyway.
Promising review: "This is the most moisturizing lip treatment in 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 three-pack from Amazon for $9.90 (available in six combos).
24. A chic metal claw clip because you already love a plastic claw clip for tossing your hair up, and this one has all the handy-dandy staying power you'd hope for in a minimalist design that can only be described as ~elegant~.
Kitsch is an LA-based, self-financed, woman-owned brand 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 a perfect size." —Niki
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in gold and silver finishes).
25. A two-pack of minimalist belts to abide by Section III of Fashion Law, which states "Adding a belt is the quickest way to make it look like you have your life together." It's just a fact!
26. A plated layered necklace set that includes a herringbone choker and a snake chain for a forever on-trend way to take any basic 'fit to the next level.
27. A trendy pair of round sunglasses for high-end style and durability at a price that won't absolutely crush your spirit if they go missing. Bonus — a protective case is included!
Promising review: "I am seriously obsessed with these sunglasses (I love these more than my Ray-Ban and that’s saying a lot)! They are extremely sturdy and great quality. What I love the most is that these came in a cute hard eyeglass case, which is perfect for travel. It also came with a polarization test (so cool and these are polarized, which is amazing) and a microfiber cloth for cleaning the lenses. They are so chic and go with so many outfits! I loved them so much!" —Stephanie Russell
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in seven colors).
28. A super soft chunky oversized scarf so you can get that coveted cashmere look and feel without that painfully high price, and give any cold weather outfit a next-level finish.
