    Make Life A Little Sweeter With These 32 Products Under $25

    I wish I had been as productive as these products when I was under 25.

    1. An overflow cap so you can *finally* soak in a bath that's filled to the very brim.

    Promising review: "Baths have changed for me forever now! I can actually FILL THE TUB and not hear that dreaded sound of half my water (and my expensive magnesium flakes, essential oils, organic bubble baths, and other fancy therapeutic ingredients) tragically vanishing down the drain. If you're a larger person trying to fit in a smaller tub especially, you know...THE STRUGGLE IS REAL. Now I can take more baths and enjoy more warm coziness. All because of this little bit of silicone!" —anonymous

    Get it from Amazon for $7.79 (available in nine colors).

    2. A bag of organic Death Wish coffee for anyone who truly believes in the phrase "death before decaf."

    Amazon

    Promising review: "Ok folks words of warning....if you have heart conditions, ration out your coffee. If you drink a 24-ounce Starbucks grande, you need 8 ounces of this as your FIRST cup. I'm serious; heed my warning or you could end up cleaning your entire house, doing all your yard work, making love to your partner, waxing your car, building a garage, or single handedly raising the Titanic on your own; all in the fist hour after drinking this wonderful coffee. You have been warned!" —ITsTheXFactor

    Get it from Amazon for $17.48 (available in medium and dark roast). 

    3. A pack of pimple patches — they're gonna save your skin when you're so sick of your whiteheads you think you might pop.

    Each box comes with 36 patches.

    Promising review: "I’m a 47 year old woman and have had adult cystic acne for 12 years. Four months ago I got the worst cystic zit of my life. It kept closing up and then refilling. I was so depressed and researched these dots online. I paid for next day shipping and was amazed how great they work! These were able to drain the zit and keep it draining so it couldn’t close and refill and get big and angry. Get these! Seriously, they really are a GOD send!" —auntylizzy

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99.

    4. A bottle of Drop It, a natural wine sulfate and tannin remover, to save wine drunk you from those merlot-induced headaches.

    Drop It recommends 1-2 drops for each glass of white wine, 2-3 for a glass of red, and 7-9 if you're treating the whole bottle at once. Once it's in the glass, swirl lightly for 20 seconds, and you'll be g2g!

    Promising review: "For many years, I have been that friend who always says 'no thanks, I can't drink wine.' Even one small small glass would give me the worst migraine. So I gave up. Several weeks ago, I happened across an ad for Drop It and thought I might as well give it a shot. I took a big risk the day it arrived and had two huge glasses of red wine that I knew would give me a massive migraine the next day. It just so happened I had a midterm that next morning too — and so the stakes were high. I woke up feeling fantastic. Since then I have repeated the experiment (to make sure it wasn't a fluke) and found that no matter how much wine I drink, as long as I use the drops, I don't have a migraine the next day. I'm so pleased to have found something that makes wine drinking possible and enjoyable again! I have nothing but great things to say about the product. It's easy to use and very discreet. I visited some friends last week and we spent a few hours at a wine bar. It was easy to add my drops. I took a small taste of the wine before adding the drops and found that it did not alter the taste at all. Thanks for a great product and a great buying experience. I will be back for more." —Mackenzie

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

    5. An avocado pit planter so you can grow your own avocado plant if you don't have a yard but gardening is in your roots

    glass vase with small opening for avocado pit to balance on. reviewer's is in their window.
    reviewer's pit with roots showing through glass vase and plant sprouting

    I own this! I have mine hanging in my kitchen windowsill. I've had it for ages and like the design for several things. I've successfully grown plants from avocado pits and I'm currently using it to regrow green onions. I buy green onions, chop up what I need for a recipe, throw the rest into this planter with water, and watch my green onions grow for future meals. It's great! 

    Promising review: "I am absolutely obsessed with this vase. I had been searching a long time for bigger vases with a narrow neck to grow my avocado plant, and this was exactly what I needed! The bottom is nice and wide, and allows so much room for root growth. The glass is not real glass, it seems like it’s some type of high quality plastic. But it still looks very nice!" —Alysia 

    Get it from Amazon for $24

    6. And a propagation wall hanging — this is gonna be a hit with anyone who would love propagating without losing all the surface space in their studio.

    reviewer's three tiered hanging prop vase wall decor filled with wild flowers

    Promising review: "I’m a recently plant-obsessed person and knew I wanted a space for propagating and flowers. I love picking up a little bunch of flowers and popping them in there for color, along with my props! It’s sturdy, functional, comes with an extra glass vial, and looks wonderful on my wall!" —Happy Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in three colors). 

    7. A spiffy three-stage silicone cup designed to adapt as your toddler's fine motor skills start kicking in. Once they begin to insist on drinking from a "big kid cup," this unbreakable bud can adjust accordingly.

    Four modern sippy cups with built-in straws
    Sippy cup in three stages, one with a straw, one with a spout for sucking on, and one without a lid at all
    Amazon

    Promising review: "This cup is fantastic for my toddler. I love that the straw is built in. It’s super easy to clean. The material is great, easy to hold, and my toddler is able to grip onto it well. We have had a couple drops and the liquid did not spill. I also love the neutral colors. I will be buying more products!" —Jordana

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in three colors).

    8. Hoof healer foot balm to nourish your dry, cracked, and callused feet. We're not ~horsing~ around — if your feet are no longer soft as a baby's bottom...this stuff is here to help!

    Get it from Pickle's Potions and Lotions on Etsy for $12+ (available in three scents and two sizes).

    9. A rechargeable light collar you can toss on your dog to give you some peace of mind while walking around at night. This thing is especially useful if you play fetch with your dog when it's dark, or if they love running around your large yard at night. There's a reason this thing has ~glowing~ reviews!

    Chewy, Khaos

    Promising review: "Everyone should have one of these! It's great quality! I love how it alternates colors and how you can make it stick to one color. My dog loves his necklace. This is a fabulous purchase. Get one right now!" —Khaos

    Get it from Chewy for $15.99.

    10. A tissue box holder for proving even the most mundane of home necessities has a chance to look overwhelmingly lovely in your place. Plus, it helps you know when to restock! 

    Promising review: "This is a beautiful product! I’m an allergy sufferer and I keep tissues in almost every room. This tissue holder is exactly what I wanted. It fits my rooms decor better than the tissue’s original packaging. Absolutely stunning!!" —Audrey Edwards

    Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in three colors and two sizes). 

    11. A clear cereal dispenser that'll make your kitchen look tidy and prove it's what's on the inside (of the cereal box) that counts. Who knew cereal could look so lovely?

    Three containers filled with different types of cereal
    Amazon

    Promising review: "Excellent product! Love the design, the crystal clear container, and the lid. Easy one-handed use. Our favorite cereal is not carried by the grocery closest to us, so we usually buy two boxes when we find it. I poured two boxes of the cereal into this container and there was still room to spare." —Zoosopher

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in eight styles).

    12. crystal carafe to replace the plastic water bottle you've been filling up and keeping by your bedside table — in the prettiest way possible.

    reviewer's carafe on tray beside candle and flowers
    reviewer holding the carafe with lid off

    Promising review: "I bought one and love it so much that I got another one. It's meticulously made, gorgeously crafted solid crystal, and has serious heft. It's not huge or unwieldy but has enough capacity for not only nighttime carafe use, but also for daytime, e.g. I make iced tea and use it at my home office. I love the convenience of the glass/cover, which I use not as a drinking glass but for for dust particles not to get into my water and drinks. For the price, this cannot be beat. The quality of this is remarkable and if you're on the fence about this, get it — you won't be sorry. :-)" —landthouspirit

    Get it from Amazon for $22.27.

    13. Extra mini drawers that clip onto your refrigerator's shelves so you can easily grab what you need instead of having to remove half the contents of your fridge just to get to the mayo.

    Promising review: "Bought a new refrigerator and I missed my deli drawer. I purchased this as a way to store deli cold meat. I’m so glad I bought it." —wendy

    Get one from Amazon for $19.99.

    14. A reviewer-loved time-marked water bottle with a handy flip-top lid, leakproof spout, and dozens of colors to chose from. This darling water bottle might actually make drinking water seem, you know, satisfying.

    Green water bottle
    Ombre purple and blue water bottle

    Promising review: "I love the finish on the bottle! I hate holding wet water bottles and this does NOT sweat! It also holds two full bottles of 16.9-oz. packages water bottles so it’s very easy to get my full water intake on the go! Easy to carry, fits in my car's cup holders perfectly (not big at all like some water bottles). I got the ombré purple to teal and it’s very true to color. Easy to clean, wide enough for bottle brushes, and the straw stays put. I also love how I just push the little button by the mouthpiece and it just pops open quick for easy drinking (if you’re driving and don’t need to be messing around opening bottles😉). Highly recommend this water bottle. For the price, it’s amazing! Keeps my water cool for hours too." —Alicia

    Get it on Amazon for $22.99 (available in 15 colors).

    15. A Guac-Lock, because learning how to keep leftovers fresh is a life skill worth feeding into. Go ahead, enjoy that homemade guacamole for days on end!

    Get it from Amazon for $22.99.

    16. A pair of computer glasses that'll block pesky blue light, keeping it from seeping into your peepers when you're stuck staring at screens all day.

    Promising review: "I work in front of a screen all day and had recently been getting headaches due to blue light exposure. You can clearly see the change of color when you put these on, and they've made a world of difference for me. Plus, you can't beat the price!" —kwatson

    Get them from Amazon for $13.99 (available in 19 colors).

    17. An eye primer for anyone who spends way too much time on their smokey eye to have it sweat off the minute they hit the dance floor.

    Same reviewer with eye makeup still looking fresh at 6:30pm

    Promising review: "So I use this primer for my eyeliner AND eyebrows, and it is a life-changer!!! I work jobs and a majority of the day I'm waitressing outside on the patio in the humidity. I needed something to keep my eyeliner intact so I didn't look like a raccoon by the end of my shift. It literally kept my makeup looking like I just put it on allllll day no matter how bad I sweat in the heat!!! I used it only on my eyes first just to try and I was amazed. So the next day I tried it as a primer for my eyebrows too before I filled them in and it does the same for my eyebrows! I'm in love with this product. Hopefully my picture will prove it!!" —Molly

    Get it from Amazon for $15.49.

    18. A pair of outlet lights so you can have your rooms shine even at nighttime, without bulky nightlights taking up space. Plus, they can make your place look fancy. Like, really fancy.

    A kitchen in the dark with several outlets glowing
    Amazon

    Promising review: "I don't like night lights because they take up the wall outlet, so this was the perfect solution. I put it in the guest bath and at night with the bathroom door open this provides just enough light to guide a person to the bathroom without blinding them. I ended up putting two on my hallway switches as well. What a great product." —LMK

    Get it from Amazon for $22.96+ (available in three sizes and four colors). 

    19. A set of acrylic drawer pulls that'll ~clearly~ improve the look of your old furniture. Replacing hardware is always the first step of a delicious upgrade.

    Promising review: "These are beautiful, I didn’t expect them to feel so high-quality! I though they are going to feel like plastic but it feels like glass! I’m in love! Buy them!!!" —Meagan

    Get a five-pack from Amazon for $20.99 (available in several sets and styles).

    20. A pressed floral bookmark — a gift to give yourself if you've been dog-earring your books in secret. You're sure to remember to use a bookmark once you have one this unforgettable! 

    Clear bookmarks with several different types of flowers inside
    Kaylie Reads / Etsy

    I am a voracious reader. I read about a book a week (yes I DO have plenty of human friends, thank you for asking) and I have a whole display of good lookin' bookmarks in my library. I own two from this shop! They are both unique and high quality. I highly recommend getting one yourself! 

    This is a small business in Manchester, New Hampshire owned by Kaylie Reads, who started designing dried floral bookmarks during quarantine. All flowers are real and pressed fresh. You can customize your bookmark by asking for specific colors, themes, or flowers. Customized orders can take up to four weeks because of the drying process. You can also request round or square corners and if you would like a tassel.

    Promising review: "The seller was incredibly communicative and kind and made me exactly what I wanted, if not even better than I imagined! I’m absolutely obsessed with the bookmarks I received and can’t wait to buy a whole bunch more! Highly recommend." —Danielle Espinosa

    Get it from Kaylie Reads on Etsy for $11.99+ (available in four styles).  

    21. A glass teapot for making tea time an even more serene experience with visible blooming tea flowers.

    Promising review: "I absolutely love my little teapot. I use it on the stovetop ever morning and it is perfect. I have had mine about three weeks now and it’s doing amazing. I love using the hot water first for my morning matcha, then I add the loose tea to the remainder of the hot water for my afternoon tea. It’s perfect for me and despite being worried about putting it on the burner at first, it turns out it’s nothing to be worried about at all. It works and looks super cute!" —DeeAnna

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99.

    22. A pair of amber glass bottles to replace the sad, plastic bottles that make your counters look cluttered. Throw your lotions and potions into these, and give your bathroom a unified, clean vibe.

    To recreate the look above, be sure to grab some waterproof labels

    Promising review: "Exactly as pictured and truly pretty. The pumps are well made, and fit and work perfectly. The glass is not thin — not bulky-thick either. I am very impressed with the quality and pricing. I love these and will absolutely buy them again." —Admin Math & Science

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99.

    23. A pack of Downy fabric spray — if you find yourself getting worry wrinkles over keeping your linen wardrobe pressed, this spray can *finally* rid your caftans and pants of those stubborn crinkles and creases. 

    "I hate wrinkles *and* am lazy — two at-odds conditions. This stuff has been a staple in my life since approximately ninth grade (thanks to my mama). As a former Catholic school uniform wearer, I have discovered that this stuff was VITAL to freshening up wrinkly dress shirts that spent the after-school hours stuffed in a gym bag. The scent is light and fresh and its wrinkle-releasing powers are nearly instant. It definitely works better on some fabrics than others (great on cotton, less great on some synthetics), but it'll improve the look of most without dealing with an iron or steamer." —Danielle Healy, BuzzFeed

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.94.

    24. An adjustable bakeware rack to keep your kitchen tools upright and at-the-ready for every midnight bake shesh that comes their way.

    Promising review: "By the picture, I was expecting a lightweight plastic base with flimsy metal uprights that would hold a lightweight pan or cutting board. BOY WAS I WRONG!!!! This is a very heavy-duty base with a good grip on the bottom. The uprights are heavy coated wire to prevent scratching of the items it is holding. I am SO PLEASED with the quality of this rack that I will be ordering a couple more to use for my skillets." —labbie1

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

    25. A plant-powered vitamin C serum with a *delicious* amount of 5-star ratings (over 65,000 5-star ratings if you really wanna know). This is a satisfying solution that's gonna help with dark circles, sun spots, redness, and breakouts.

    Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! I am 39 and have dark spots in my face from sun damage and some scarring from cystic acne. Holy cow, this has lightened my dark spots by at least 75%. Honestly a miracle. And for the price! Other brands are four times the price. Try this out for sure. Stick to it and give it some time. I saw an amazing difference, so so happy with it. Also, some of the best customer service I’ve ever had." —Ashley F.

    Get it from Amazon for $21.97+ (available in two sizes).

    26. A sight word Bingo game for your kiddo if they, too, share your affinity for educational gaming and your (borderline terrifying) competitive nature.

    Word board with chips, cards, and packaging
    Amazon

    Promising review: "Our first-grader was feeling really discouraged with her sight words and I've been trying to think of ways to encourage her and get her excited to learn things she doesn't already know. She loved this game! We played with the whole family and her 3-year-old even enjoyed playing (we show her the cards and have her find the word that matches on her bingo card). I think this is a great way to make learning/practicing sight words fun! I am very happy with this purchase and I can see how it would be great for teachers in the classroom as well!!" —Jennie

    Get it from Amazon for $9.04.

    27. A pack of three collapsible lanterns that'll add some life to your place. Now you get to be the ~fungi~ with quirky/cool wall decor! Good going.

    Three red top mushroom lanterns
    lanterns hung in large tree with twinkle lights

    Promising review: "These mushrooms are the cutest decorations I've seen. I absolutely love them. They are pretty sturdy once set up, I have them sitting on the ground and placed a smallish brick on the inside for stability. They also come with string if you want to hang them. I am going to put a small tea light or fairy lights on the inside to light them up. Both the wire and the paper seem really durable and seem to be made better than other paper lanterns that I've seen. They are SUPER easy to set up." —Sajujama

    Get them from Amazon for $12.98.

    28. tug-of-war toy — this can suction cup onto your floor, giving you some alone time when Spot doesn't want to stop playing.

    Promising review: "We bought this for our 7-month-old labradoodle and he absolutely loves it. He is a big fan of tug of war so this toy is great to just leave on the ground and let him have at it. It certainly helps distract and burn his puppy energy. You can hide treats in it as well which was a bonus. This also comes with two sticky pads for extra suction. Five stars all around!!" —P. Bom

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in four styles).

    29. A microfiber dusting glove, because microfiber is the very best material to use when picking up pesky dust particles, and you're gonna see why when you use this! Whoever thought to turn a cleaning cloth into a glove is a true genius.

    Reviewer with glove covered in dust after cleaning

    Promising review: "Do you hate having to dust around things? I know I do. This glove is ideal — you can just wipe away dust while easily maneuvering around odds and ends in your way. Because it’s your own hand inside the glove it’s also easy to maneuver over oddly shaped things like silk plants or blinds. I absolutely recommend this!" —Katherine Wise

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two styles).

    30. A set of Wad-Free pads for keeping your bedsheets from tangling in the wash. Get this and keep those laundry clods from wasting precious drying time!

    Wad-Free is a small biz that was launched during the pandemic. Cyndi, the founder, learned CAD (computer-aided design) to create the pads. And 5% of profits are donated to the American Brain Tumor Association.

    Promising review: "Wow!!! You wonder if things like this really work and well, I can absolutely confirm it does! First, I was impressed that the package came with two of the devices because I was only expecting one. So there was one for the fitted sheet, and the flat sheet. Finally, I tried it out and my sheets not only did NOT wad up, they came out of the dryer feeling fresher, feeling more dry, and unwrinkled! I will be buying a set of these for each of my immediate family members and close friends! What a great gift!!!" —katy

    31. A drinking fountain faucet attachment that'll be loved by anyone who wants a sip of water without dirtying a whole cup, and thus, washing a whole cup.

    Amazon

    This design only fits standard sized faucets but you can still use this even if it doesn't fit, just be sure to grab an adapter along with it.

    Promising review: "I have Parkinson's and find it difficult to handle a water glass while taking my daily pills. This little water fountain is perfect for me! It was shipped quickly and was super easy to install with no tools. The knob is easy to slide in and out to change from faucet to fountain. The water comes up high enough that I do not have to bend too far over to drink from it. It is not in the way when I wash my hands. I really am glad that I spotted this gadget." —Texas Grandma

    Get it from Amazon for $19.98.

    32. And finally, a shower phone holder so a pesky shower won't get in the way of your binge-watching streak. 

    Promising review: "This product is the answer to my search for a way to have music or Netflix playing while in the shower! The adhesion quality is great, and it's very easy to use. It fits my iPhone XS Max very well and is very sturdy. I would recommend this to anyone!" —Jackie Donovan

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in four colors).

    Now that I know these products, I have been changed for good.
