    24 Products Under $30 That Are Both Useful And Really Dang Pretty

    The best of both worlds.

    1. A water-resistant sleeve that'll keep your precious laptop or tablet from getting scuffed up in your bag. It has resistance padding that’ll protect your device from minor bumps and bruises, and the geometric print with gold accents will make you want to show it off to everyone.

    2. A glass soap dispenser that'll add a floral touch to your bathroom or kitchen. You’re probably washing your hands a dozen times a day right now, so your soap holder might as well be cute.

    3. A super-absorbent microfibre dish drying mat with an elegant marble design that can hold up to four times its weight in water. It's cushioned to protect your breakables (like those fancy wine glasses your mom gave you!) and it has over 4,000 five-star reviews.

    4. A set of reusable straws that'll make your beverage look Insta-worthy, while also being a pal to the environment. The straws are wide enough to suck up boba, so you can ditch the plastic alternative next time you treat yourself to your favourite beverage.

    5. An apron that'll keep you looking cute while protecting your clothes from the spills and messes that inevitably happen in the kitchen. The front pocket will keep your cellphone or recipe safe, and the waist tie will keep it snug on your body.

    6. An edge brush made of natural boar bristles that'll help you style, shape, and finish your edges. The bristles are gentler on the fine hair than toothbrushes, and they’ll stimulate your scalp and help to spread your hair’s natural oils.
