1. 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 $7.29+ (available in gold and silver finishes).
2. 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

3. Or a set of press-on acrylic nails if you like all-out manis that are longer and bolder but can't quite swing those wild prices. These press-ons make it look like you spent hundreds on a full set! Don't worry, your secret is safe with us.
You'll get 24 pieces in 12 different sizes, a mini file, a glass nail file, a wooden stick, a tutorial card, and a sheet glue sticker. You can use a top coat to seal rhinestones so they don't fall off as easily! Reviewers suggest using nail glue to apply them.
Promising review: "Very durable and so pretty! I got a lot of compliments. Get it; you won’t regret it. Be a baddie on a budget. 👌🏼👌🏼" —Kathie
Get a set of 24 pieces from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 16 designs).
4. An in-flight foot hammock to make kicking back in the flight cabin a whole lot easier. It easily mounts onto the seat tray, and really ups that economy seat comfort for a lot less than a ticket upgrade.
Promising review: "Have used this three times now on international trips, and it's a game changer for me! I have to take my shoes off during long (6+hr) flights, and in the past, I had to carefully rest my feet on top of my shoes, which was often uncomfortable. It allows me to rest my feet without the worry of touching the gross carpet on a plane. I usually get someone around me asking where I bought it, and I always recommend it. It works even when the person in front of you reclines their seat. Highly recommend." —John Merchant
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four colors and multipacks).
5. An easy-to-use collagen-coating hair mask so it looks like your hair hasn't undergone years of abuse at the hands of bleach and blow-dryers without the pricey salon treatment.
Read our Elizavecca CER-100 Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment review to learn more about why my colleague calls it "the miracle product I've been searching for."
Promising review: "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 it wreaked havoc on my hair, leaving it pretty damaged. I was skeptical about this product because I had 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
Get it from Amazon for $6.68.
6. A realistic-looking bunch of silk tulips for the bouquet lover unwilling to throw money at decor that dies within a week. These offer the same great aesthetic with a one-and-done purchase that costs less than a lot of flower shop arrangements.
Promising review: "They look real, and I get a ton of compliments on them. Everyone always thinks my husband surprised me with tulips (my favorite flower) and is shocked to learn these are not real. I have several of them throughout my house, and plan to buy more because they are great!" —Abbey S.
Get them from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 53 colors).
7. A pair of Beckham Hotel Collection down alterantive pillows because you're tired of feeling like Goldilocks, testing pillows that are too soft or too stiff. Finally, this one is just right and feels like you checked into a 5-star resort ~every~ night.
Promising review: "I was looking for a squishy alternative down pillow that didn’t cost too much. I saw the reviews for these and took a chance since it was a set of two. The price was right. These are just what I wanted. I sleep on my side and stomach mostly, and most pillows are too thick and make my neck hurt. These mold to me and have enough give and squish to support yet not make my neck crook at an angle, giving me a headache. Great pillow!" —alspachsl
Get a pair from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in two sizes).
8. A gorgeous tinted lip oil that plumps your pout and locks in moisture with a hydrating mix of cocoa butter and beeswax. Reviewers say it rivals the mega-pricy Dior version and is surprisingly long-lasting.
9. A scalp massager with large silicone-tipped bristles if you're battling dry, flaky buildup or just want to recreate that salon-quality head massage without the awkward small talk.
Promising review: "I saw this little thing all over TikTok and everyone swore by it. To be honest, they’re right and I now swear by it. It’s perfectly soft and sturdy to massage the scalp. Works shampoo into roots, helps with dry skin and such. I absolutely love it and I use it every time I wash my hair. I most definitely would recommend to anyone. Don’t hesitate." —Z
Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in three colors).
10. 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 six colors and two styles).
11. A durable round ice tray with an included storage bin and scoop so even your plain glass of water can have the ~aesthetic~ flair of your favorite overpriced cafe.
Promising review: "This ice tray set is a GAME CHANGER. Worth every penny. I hit a wall with my ice trays always breaking, being hard to get ice out of, and emptying too quick. I splurged on this set and am really impressed. I already have a bin (which it comes with) full of ice and two backups freezing. And the little scoop is fun as heck. Highly recommend if you don't have an ice maker!" —Kascidy Badon
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in five colors).
12. An aromatherapy milk bath mix for following in the self-care footsteps of a literal queen. Apparently, Cleopatra used milk and honey in her bath to moisturize and promote an even skin tone. This modern recreation adds epsom salts, essential oils, and rose petals for at-home taste of spa-like luxury.
Earthy Queens is a Georgia-based, woman-owned small biz that specializes in handmade aromatherapy candles, soaps, baths, and more.

Get it from Earthy Queens on Etsy for $9.95+ (available in two sizes).
13. A cult-favorite luxury-scented candle because it's got all the stunning good looks of a $50 boutique find for a lot less. This isn't one of those candles you light and can barely smell. Review after review comments on this thing's next-level throw.
Lulu Candles is a US-based small business that specializes in scented candles and perfumes.
Promising review: "I’ve enjoyed these candles for almost five years. They are a delightful scent, and I will use no other. People often comment about how nice my house smells. Even when the candles aren’t lit, there is a lovely scent remaining." —Jane Brown
Get it from Amazon for $18.95+ (available in four sizes, gift box options, packs of two, and various scents).
14. Plus, a gold-tone candle snuffer that's a chic add-on to any candle setup and extinguishes flames without any unwanted wax spray from blowing. You always get accused of being a bit extra anyway, so might as well lean in, right?
15. A hooded vegan leather jacket if you want to get your tiny pooch in on the high-style action with a timeless look that's lined with cozy fleece and trimmed with a fabulous faux fur collar.
Note that this coat doesn't have a leash clip opening, so you'll need to clip the leash to your dog's collar when wearing this style.
Promising review: "Our little boy LOVES his jacket. It's warm as can be (keep an eye on your pet's behavior in case they get hot) my boy got a medium and he's a 16-pound Pomeranian. He's got a lot of floof, and it fits in the jacket nicely. It does not stretch really at all; the leather is fake but feels nice. The inside of the jacket has a nice fur lining, which helps trap in heat. He can get out of it if he's left to his own devices, so once again; keep an eye on your animals always when wearing anything. He looks like a mini greaser, and matches his mom and dad :) Rob Marley approved!" —Brittnie Noelle
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in two colors).
16. A large woven storage basket for tossing everything that doesn't match your aesthetic into something functional that does!
Promising review: "Love this basket. I was looking at a $130 Room version and am so glad I found this one. It is high quality and looks expensive." —Jennifer Barnes
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in three sizes and two colors).
17. 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.
18. 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.
19. A wire slicker brush for reviving your beloved faux fur rugs, throw blankets, and fleece jackets to their former fluffy glory, since there's approximately zero room in the budget for a suitable replacement.
Promising review: "Where have these been all my life? We purchased a couple of beautiful charcoal-gray (dyed) sheepskin rugs for both sides of our bed. It used to feel really nice to get out of bed and set your feet on them. But after many years and a couple of dogs, my reaction to putting my feet down is, 'Ew. What the heck did I just step on?' Because of the dye, we can't just wash them or get them too wet. And I'm kind of lazy and forgetful. (Meaning, I've been thinking of taking them to a dry cleaner for years — but how much will that cost?) After our puppy had an accident (the worst kind of accident) on one, I knew I had to do something. I cleaned up the 'accident' as best I could, but that left the spot feeling dry and crunchy. I decided to try one of these wire wool brushes. HALLELUJAH! It took some muscle to brush each rug thoroughly, but wow, not only did it re-fluff and revive the wool, it pulled up a lot of loose dirt and anything that was stuck to the fibers." —Renee
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
20. A set of two embossed glass mugs that include cute little spoons and make every morning coffee, cup of tea, or yogurt parfait look like a luxurious treat.
Note that these are not dishwasher or microwave-safe!
Promising review: "Came straight to Amazon when I saw these beautiful mugs on TikTok. I just had to have them! I’m very picky with mugs; these are perfect for me. Stunning to look at and a pleasure to drink out of. Highly recommend!" —Margarita Harutoonian

21. Plus, a tiny milk frother because it's a quick and easy way to *whip* up cafe-quality drinks at home, where the milk you want is always in stock and doesn't cost extra.
Promising review: "So I’ll admit I got this on a whim after a TikTok video, however I’m in love with this thing! It’s so much fun to use and you make your at-home drinks feel so much more special. It’s easy to use and froths pretty quickly if you’re on the fence I’d say what are you waiting for buy it already!" —Denise
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in 17 styles).
22. 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.
23. A luxurious bed canopy to turn your room into a fantasy suite without going out and buying a whole new four-post bed frame. This whimsical addition just might make leaving bed even more difficult than it already is — you've been warned!
The kit includes one canopy net, four hanging hooks, four wall anchors, and tie-back ribbons. Hang some vines and/or fairy lights to really add to that fairytale vibe!
Promising review: "So cute, so easy to install! Literally like four hooks and tie-backs, and you're done. Jazz it up with some twinkle lights (not included), and you are golden. I swear, laying in bed at night, I feel like a princess. Especially because I always wanted one of these as a little girl. 😇" —Krystle
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in eight styles).
24. A set of hydrogel gold and snail slime eye patches so you can actually look pretty glam while taking time to tackle common skin woes like under-eye puffiness and darkness.
Promising review: "These things are freaking awesome! I have a terrible time with allergies which causes dark under-eye rings and puffy skin. Used these little slimy patches under my eyes and was amazed at the result! Not only did they feel cool and soothing while on, but I noticed a definite improvement right away. The puffiness was significantly reduced as well as a definite reduction in the dark coloration. The results were even evident the next day — and noticed by my husband who NEVER notices things like that. I plan on using them a couple of times a week during peak allergies and then once a week after that. Very satisfied." —Alicia Melvin
Get 60 patches from Amazon for $11.89.
25. 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-Bans, and that’s saying a lot)! They are extremely sturdy and of 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).
26. A 3-in-1 nano facial steamer because you can buy this at-home unit for less than the price of an in-spa facial and treat yourself to daily steam sessions that can help moisturize skin and unclog pores. Plus, it's a humidifier *and* a towel warmer?! A steal!
The NanoSteamer comes with a five-piece blemish and blackhead extractor kit in addition to the facial steamer.
Promising review: "I’m turning 30 in a couple of weeks and wanted to upgrade my skincare routine, and this is a game changer. I said goodbye to my pot and crouching over it with a towel over my head, which made me not want to do it very often cause it was so much work. This is so much easier, and now I can steam more often and not once every eight months or so. Lol. After steaming then toner and face oil, my skin looked so glossy! I love this little apparatus!" —Dee Venus
Get it from Amazon for $39.95 (available in teal and silver).
27. 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 $23.99 (available in four colors and ring sizes 5–10).
28. An acrylic chandelier light shade if you've got a not-so-cute ceiling light in need of a maximalist facelift that does not require getting a single electrician involved.
Promising review: "I wanted to glam up my closet and I love love this chandelier. There was a light fixture already in the closet. I removed the globe cover, put my chandelier over it, screwed the light bulb in, and glamour beyond compare! I love going in my closet. It was exactly what I was looking for!!" —Nivia M Thomas
Get it from Amazon for $22.99.
29. A beaded personalized pearl dog collar to give your furry little sidekick the same glam adornment you give yourself and your home.

Get it from The Chic Dog Boutique on Etsy for $17+ (available in seven sizes).
30. A set of two stud detail wineglasses so that $9 vino from the grocery store can at least look the part of a priceless aged vintage.
Fellow BuzzFeed writer Jordan Grigsby can vouch for these beauties:
"Oh yeah, I have these! They totally fit my broke but bougie aesthetic, and I ain't ashamed. 💁🏽♀️ But seriously, they're even more stunning in person and they definitely get allll the compliments. Lots of *these are niiiiiiice* when people come over and I pull these babies out and pour a nice glass of wine in 'em. Hand wash them! The rhinestones unravel in the dishwasher and I learned that the hard way."
