Hello there! Did you know that Amazon has a neat little section called "Most Wished For" where you can see which products your fellow Amazon shoppers are currently adding to their wishlists? From TikTok-popular beauty finds to innovative sweet treats and unique handmade finds, here are some products under $30 you'll want to gift yourself ASAP!
1. A hair and body fragrance mist that'll have you wondering if it's considered proper etiquette to sniff yourself in public. Not to see if you smell bad, but because you'll smell so yummy, you won't be able to resist taking in your delicious aroma.
2. An Aldi quarter keychain if you've ever found yourself going to grab a shopping cart before entering the store just to realize you don't have a silver circular George Washington!
Handmade by Michelle B's Embroidery is a small biz based in Tennessee!
Promising review: "Made well! And so adorable. I leave it hung on my rearview mirror and I'm never without my Aldi quarter. 😄 Bought one for my cousin. And I plan on buying more!" —Amazon Customer
Price: $9.49
3. A bag of freeze-dried Sour Skittles that might make you question whether you'll ever want to eat the non-freeze-dried version again; that's how much you'll love them.
Space Age Snacks is a small business that specializes in small-batch freeze-dried candy.
Promising review: "Honestly, I didn't know what to expect going in, but I was pleasantly surprised. Skittles normally taste alright, but having them freeze-dried really made the flavors POP, and genuinely I feel like they had more flavor than normal Skittles. (Then again, that might just be my head playing it up, knowing it's a first, who knows, who cares.) Very delicious." —John Blake
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (and check out the rest of their freeze-dried candy for more options).
4. A clothes hanger-inspired earring holder for the cutest way to organize your ear candy. Rather than just tossing your jewels into a dish and playing a matching game to find the right pair, all you have to do now is take the hanger holding the pair you want, and you're g2g!
Promising review: "I am absolutely obsessed with this earring holder. It is so, so, so cute! I love the different holes in the hanger so that I can fit more than one set on it. Super easy to set up and small enough to fit on my desk. It’s amazing." —Tracey Amato
Price: $8.49+ (available in eight colors and multipacks)
5. A lightweight snail essence (no snails are harmed in making this product, promise) that'll deliver seriously good hydration, help brighten your skin, and potentially reduce/prevent acne.
6. A pair of fuzzy ball towels designed to absorb water quickly and dry faster than ~regular~ towels. Not to mention, they just look supes cool.
Promising review: "Nothing I hate more than trying to dry my hands on the towel that seems constantly damp. Kids. I like these because they have felt dry every time that I have gone to use them. And you can grab them and squish them around in your hands to dry off. Quick and easy." —StephanieK
Price: a pack of two for $15.99 (available in three color combos)
7. A stainless-steel Owala water bottle you can bet will put any other water bottle on the market to shame. You may be asking why, and the first reason is that it comes with a double-spout built-in straw (a smaller opening for sipping and a large one for swigging). Unlike other popular bottles, this one allows you to cover the straw when you're not drinking from it, thanks to the leak-proof push button opening! Did I mention it'll keep your drinks cold for 24 hours and features a carry loop for easy transport?
Promising review: "I have had so many water bottles, but I love this water bottle most out of all of them, from the GORGEOUS colors to the long-lasting cold water. I also love that there is a straw for when I want to sip and one where I can chug my water. I also love that all the spots where your mouth touches are covered. If you're looking for a new water bottle, I would get this one." —Amazon Customer
Price: $22.99+ (available in 21 colors and 4 sizes)
8. Or this adorable Barbie kid's water bottle because rocking your favorite childhood toy or the best movie that came out of 2023 all while staying hydrated is a true win-win.
Promising review: "My daughter loves this cup, and I love that it’s spill-proof (when the lid is closed). Plastic is high quality, and graphics have remained intact after being well-loved by my active toddler." —Grant Nelson
Price: $9.99
9. An adorable reversible plushie for expressing when you're feeling happy or not so happy. But this plushie is so cute, it might just help turn your frown upside-down.
Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok like everyone else, but I quickly realized when I got one how helpful this is to my family. Now they don't have to guess when they shouldn't bother me; they'll just KNOW. It's saving lives, and it's adorable. The perfect thing. :)" —MCalmes
Price: $7.74+ (available in 42 styles)
10. A reverse coloring book that comes completely colored in, so your job is to add the outlines and really help bring the pages to life! Such an interesting twist on a classic activity!
Each book includes 50 pages of watercolor art for you to add lines, along with suggestions for what to add if you want a jumping-off point. Bonus: The pages are perforated, so you can easily tear them out and frame them!
Promising review: "Changed my life. So I get anxious doing the adult coloring books. This was so much fun and made me really think outside of the box. I'm not the best at drawing, but I felt like I was when I was a kid doodling in my textbooks in school." —Carley C.
Price: $9.90
(Psst — check out these cult-fave black fine point pens for $8.99 on Amazon for a good doodling option!)
11. Or a coloring and activity book inspired by Gilmore Girls because what better way to treat yourself than sitting back, relaxing, and bringing illustrations of your favorite fictional Connecticut town to life?
12. A monochromatic multi-stick you can use on your eyes, lips, and cheeks (talk about a triple threat). This must-have for your makeup routine boasts a lightweight, nourishing, and non-greasy formula (it's made with vitamin E) and is highly blendable!
13. A wash-off face mask to wake up your face in about 15 minutes — which is ironic, because you'll look zombie-like while you use it. Get ready to take lots of before-during-after selfies!
Promising review: "I have never written a review before, but I am compelled to do so now. Let’s start with what my 41-year-old face looked like. I had bumps, tiny bumps all over my skin, especially my forehead. My skin NEVER felt smooth, even with the prescriptions I was given to help with these tiny bumps. Rosacea = bad, bad, bad. So bad that it was actually causing my cheeks to have what appeared to be thickening skin. Wrinkles, some that were quite deep. My pores were friggin huge and getting bigger day by day, it seemed like. I know that it says to use this product every three days. I chose to go with every single day for the first box of eight. The results were so amazing I decided on every day for the second box. Even more amazing results. EVERY SINGLE ISSUE LISTED ABOVE NO LONGER EXISTS!!!! I moisturize deeply after rinsing, and my face looks absolutely amazing. My face did not even look like this at 30. I will be buying no less than three packs every single payday so I can stock up on this stuff in case they ever decide to quit selling it. If I had 10 stars available to rate, I would use them and more!" —Amazon Customer
Price: a pack of eight masks for $24.86
14. A Burn Book-inspired decorative box perfect for displaying flowers, holding makeup brushes or writing utensils, or just placing on a shelf to show off your love of Mean Girls.
Promising review: "Got this for my daughter to use as a makeup brush holder. It’s small and cute and fits nicely on her vanity. I love that it looks exactly like the Burn Book, and this was one of my daughter's favorite birthday gifts!" —Christina Milohov
Price: $25.95
15. A pack of bite-sized mini waffle cones filled with chocolate — you need to run (not walk, RUN) to add these to your cart ASAP. Enjoy them on their own, throw them on top of a bowl of ice cream, or add them to a sweet and salty snack mix — the options are limitless.
Promising review: "What do these taste like? Well, a dry version of the bottom of the Drumstick cones. They are good little snacks, and you can add a tiny bit of ice cream to the top of the tiny cone to make them even better." —Detharal
Price: a pack of five for $19.75 (available in dark, milk, and white chocolate)
16. A pair of lightweight pants that are basically the perfect mix of leggings and joggers. These comfy pants are great for working out, running errands, or just lounging around the house. And! Reviewers swear these are a cheaper swap for the Lululemon Align joggers.
Promising review: "These are literally the best leggings/joggers I have ever owned, and I plan to eventually buy every single color. I originally saw these on TikTok and heard they were like the Lululemon ones but cheaper. I've never owned Lululemon leggings, but if they feel anything like these, I have clearly been missing out. These are soft and absolutely perfect. I love the pockets and jogger style and that they fit like leggings and can be worn to the gym or dressed up with a cute outfit. I need to buy every color of these before they're gone!" —Courtney
Price: $28.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 19 colors)
17. A set of rainbow pencils because single-tone colored pencils are so 2023. Time to shake up your illustrations and arts projects in the coolest possible way.
Promising review: "Our kids love these and use them every day! You always get a different color payout with every swipe! Very fun!" —Natasha S.
Price: a pack of eight for $9.99 (also available in a pack of 16)
18. A spa headband and wristband set that'll come in handy when washing your face and doing your skincare routine. The headband will help keep hair out of your face, while the wristbands will prevent water from soaking your sleeves.
Promising review: "I love the cute puffy headband to hold my hair away from my face while doing skincare. The sweat bands are perfect to catch that water that wets your sleeves or drips down your arms and gives you the ick. This seemed like a frivolous buy to me, but I am SO glad I purchased it. It feels very luxurious and effective!" —Erin
Price: $9.98 (available in various colors)
19. A bento salad container with a bowl for your base, four compartments for toppings, and a cup for dressing because no one likes a soggy salad.
Promising review: "This is the perfect accessory for any foodie. The bottom storage is the perfect size for a salad (with lettuce or pasta) or a meal that consists of protein, grains, and veggies. The top portion has different sections to store food in, and the condiment cup with a lid is awesome as well. The only drawback about the condiment cup is that it could be slightly deeper to allow for more of whatever condiment/dressing is used. If you're anything like me, I can be liberal with my sauce/dressing." —BL Bigbee
Price: $14.99 (available in eight colors)
20. A set of date night idea scratch-off cards that'll help elevate your next date night to a whole new level of fun. The cards are categorized by the best time of day to have the date and price range, so once you pick out the card that matches what you're looking for that day, just scratch off to reveal the date plans and have fun!
Some of the fun ideas you'll find include you and your loved one watching each of your favorite movies together with your favorite snacks, creating a travel photo memory book together, and going on a food crawl (one place for appetizers, one for your entree, and one for dessert). All Natural Shop is a small business selling thought-provoking card games for couples!
Promising review: "My wife and I just had our first date, and we are in love! I’m thinking about gifting this to every couple I know. We had so much fun, and it was the perfect date night. One to remember! And we can’t wait to do the next one." —Saintfolife25
Price: $16.95
21. A lovely pair of pressed flower earrings to bring some floral flair to your lobes. Everyone who sees you wear these is gonna want to know where they can also get a pair for themselves.
AUNTESIGN is a woman-owned small biz based in Alaska that sells pressed flower jewelry pieces!
Promising review: "This was a gift for my mother and she absolutely loved them. She's already worn them and gotten many compliments. I'll definitely buy from this seller again." —Bethany Higgins
Price: $23.99+ (available in six styles)
22. A wondrously cool lip stain masque that might just make you want to launch your very own beauty influencer career, and here's why: When you first apply it to your lips, it starts off blue (and a quite beautiful blue, at that). After letting it set for 10–30 seconds, wipe it away with a damp tissue or towel to reveal a BEAUTIFUL natural lip stain. How can you NOT want to document that process and share it with your followers?!
Promising review: "I didn’t know what to expect when I received this product, but I have to say I am pleasantly surprised! I absolutely love it! I put it on as soon as it arrived. I kept it on for almost a minute, and when I wiped it off with a damp cotton ball, the color was beautiful. It’s true to its word about the 12-hour stay power. I put a little lip balm over it and enjoyed eating, drinking, and talking. It didn’t come off! If you like lip stains, get this product! It’s a keeper. I will be ordering all of the shades." —Brandy
Price: $17+ (available in 12 shades)
23. A DoodleBob pen holder — sure, this little guy only has one use, but dang it, if you're gonna have a pen holder that holds just one of your writing utensils, THIS is the one you should buy.
Promising review: "Bringing this to work and being able to add him to my desk brought me so much joy. My coworkers were also able to get a laugh out of it. So happy with the purchase!" —Kaitlyn S Anderson
Price: $12.50
24. An awesome cup perfect for anyone who loves eating cereal for breakfast but doesn't quite have time to sit down and eat cereal for breakfast in the morning. Now you can bring it on the go without worrying it'll get soggy in transit.
CrunchCup is the small biz behind the genius travel cereal cup!
Promising review: "I've always wanted to be able to eat cereal on my commute in the morning, but now I have this! Tried it for the first time this morning, and I'm in love. Put cereal in the inner cup and milk in the outer cup. Place a finger over the milk's air vent hole to prevent milk from pouring out. Pour cereal into the mouth, and remove the finger from the air vent hole to dispense milk. It works perfectly, and so excited to be eating cereal every morning no matter the circumstances now." —Matt Schrum
Price: $21.49 (available in five colors)
25. A set of bunny-shaped soap bars that are so ridiculously cute and colorful, you'll want to be sure you keep one next to every sink in your home.
Sunbasil Soap is a mom-owned small biz!
Promising review: "These bunny soaps are beyond adorable and have the most wonderful scent that reminds me of candy! I ordered more for gifts! I am very sensitive to scents, and these soaps do not bother me at all — very pleasant!" —Danelle Wiese

28. A bracelet-making kit complete with a colorful assortment of clay beads, letters, and bracelet-making tools because, as Taylor said, "make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it." And what better way to follow that advice than with this useful kit?
Side note: Swiftie or not, I discovered at the ripe age of 29 (thanks to the Eras tour) that making friendship bracelets is just a really relaxing activity!!!
Promising review: "I purchased this kit to make friendship bracelets for Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour concert film. The colors are perfect and it comes with everything you need!" —Stacey
Price: $7.99+ (available in two sizes)
29. A wicked witch-themed bookmark for a unique way of holding your place in your current read. Ding dong, the witch is marking your reading progress until you're ready to read again.
MY BOOKMARK is a small biz based in Kyiv, Ukraine that sells unique bookmarks!
Promising review: "This is one of my favorite bookmarks!! Well crafted. I thought I had broken it when I dropped my book. I was so happy to see the the legs can be repositioned. Love it!!" —Ms. E
Price: $19.99
30. A pack of protein pastry bars because it's time to finally trade in chalky-tasting, falling-apart-at-the-seams protein snacks for a PASTRY!
I LOVE these!!! I first discovered them last year after making a pit stop on a road trip and needed a little sweet treat/snack. These seemed super intriguing (it looks like a Pop-Tart, but it's doughy like a pastry AND has icing and filling?), so I tried one and immediately became a fan. I've heard these are awesome after being microwaved (I have yet to try it that way), but as someone who has never really found a protein bar that I've liked for longer than a few weeks, these were such a nice change of pace. Highly recommend!!!
Price: a pack of eight for $25.64+ (available in five flavors)
