35 Things Under $20 That People Actually Swear By

Some of these babies are even under $5 or $10, so budget shoppers rejoice.

1. The Cat Dancer, a super-simple wire toy that every cat and owner alike will become paws-itively obsessed with. It's the $3 way to get your cat to perform the most hilarious antics of their nine lives, so I suggest having a camera ready.

2. A roll-on headache and migraine relief stick, which I haven't stopped talking about it since I first tried it and I don't plan on stopping any time soon.

3. Pus-absorbing, pimple-eliminating patches over 3,000 reviewers rely on to zap their zits faster than they ever thought possible.

4. Miracle-Gro indoor plant food spikes, which are — get this — pretty miraculous. As in, they can help you actually keep a plant alive just by sticking a couple in the soil.

5. A genius dish squeegee sure to make anyone who has ever done dishes and touched icky leftover food or struggled to clean up a countertop spill say, "Where have you been all my life?!?!"

6. A pair of top-quality in-ear headphones that I personally love, but you don't have to take my word for it. You can also take the word of over 47,000 people who've left positive reviews.

7. Latex-free, reusable toe covers here to solve the lifelong problem of bandages and other covers never staying on your toes. These will keep you comfy no matter what blisters, corns, ingrown toenails, and calluses have to say about it.

8. Microfiber makeup-removing cloths that'll get your whole face clean with — get this — just good ol' water.

9. A ~sweet~ little clay bear who's more than just a cute face. Add water to him, and he'll soften brown sugar you'd thought had hardened past use.

10. Handmade shower steamers made with energizing peppermint, rosemary, and lemon essential oils to help you start your day on the right note. They're relaxing like a bath bomb, but much more practical for folks who only have time for a quick shower in the morning.

11. Coty Airspun loose face powder, a magical setting powder that over 7,000 reviewers use to help them really, truly slay all day.

12. A double-pocket caddy that can rest perfectly over the arm of your sofa to ensure you'll never lose your phone or remote in the abyss between the cushions again.

13. The perfect, go-everywhere crossbody bag you've been searching for your entire purse-carrying life. Adjustable strap? Check. Room for all your crap? Check. Inside and outside pockets? Check. Cute design that's not too bulky? You guessed it, check. No wonder it's got over 4,500 5-star reviews!

14. The TubShroom, a possibly magical drain protector that over 22,000 (!!!!!!!) reviewers depend on to make the process of cleaning their drain as easy and un-gag-worthy as possible.

15. A game-changing pair of no-tie shoelaces you can use to turn any pair of shoes into comfy, perfect-fitting slip-ons and banish gross, hazardous dangling shoelaces forever. Just ask the over 16,000 positive reviewers.

16. Glam druzy and tassel statement earrings that'll add extra pizzazz to everything from jeans to an LBD and that look way more expensive than they are.

17. A super-useful washable, reusable, biodegradable towel made to do (and excel at) one very specific job. Namely, absorb all the grease from your bacon with less waste than just using a paper towel.

18. A fun avocado oil lip gloss and nail polish set a ~guac~star like yourself truly deserves to treat themselves to. The avocado oil will nourish your nails and your pout, while the super-shiny lippie and fun green polish hue will make your style a standout.

19. Colorful fine-tipped pens that have got the write stuff to make any office supply nerd's dreams come true.

20. A Rapid Ramen Cooker with over 2,000 5-star reviews that can cook your noodles in the microwave in three minutes and must have been designed by someone with a pretty genius ~noodle~ themselves.

21. CND SolarOil, a low-key miraculous oil here to banish brittle nails and dry cuticles for good. Nailed it!

22. A luxe silk scrunchie that's gentle on your hair and won't leave you with the dreaded split ends or post-ponytail crease. Plus, it'll look wayyy cuter on your wrist than your usual elastics.

23. Or a version made by a brand that specializes in products for 3a-4c hair, so you can really trust it'll work on your gorgeous strands.

24. A sleek citronella candle combining fashion and function — it'll look super cute on your outdoor table while helping keep mosquitoes at bay.

25. Chic, under-$15 sunglasses with over 3,000 5-star reviews that some folks say are comparable to a certain brand that rhymes with Shmay-Span.

26. Glossier Boy Brow, a hypoallergenic, paraben-free brow shaping and filling gel that several of my coworkers LITERALLY never stop talking about.

27. And a Billie razor starter kit, another cult fave that BuzzFeed Shopping editors talk about more than pretty much any other product (and we talk about a lot of products). The kit includes a razor, a magnetic holder, and two blades for under $10.

28. A natural shoe deodorizing spray made with lemongrass, mint, and tea tree essential oils that over 3,000 positive reviewers say can save even those shoes so stinky, you'd considered banishing them to a deep circle of Hell.

29. A surprisingly roomy yet thin wallet with a RFID-blocking lining that's your heavy, bulky old wallet's worst nightmare — it's finally getting replaced.

30. A battery-powered fabric defuzzer, in case you thought that your old favorite, pill-covered sweater was officially out of commission. You'll be happy to be proved wrong.

31. Glossier Balm Dotcom, a cruelty-free and antioxidant-rich universal skin salve that you can use on your lips or anywhere else for moisture that actually lasts, so it'll put every other balm you've ever tried to shame. Reapplying? I don't know her.

32. Wreck This Journal, aka a super creative book that allows you to do just that. Each page has instructions and space to do a different delightfully destructive thing — from spill your coffee on it to throw the journal in the air.

33. A natural and antibacterial multi-surface cleaning spray in a recyclable bottle, so it's easy on the Earth but still relentlessly tough on gunk.

34. A Cerama Bryte cooktop cleaning kit to get one of the trickiest surfaces in your kitchen looking cleaner than ever before. It has everything you need to ensure that those stains on your smooth-top range will be ~cooked~.

35. A salicylic acid, tea tree oil, and witch hazel body acne spray, because even if we don't like to talk about it, pretty much *everyone* sometimes gets zits places other than their face. Don't turn your back on bacne, people!
