Plot twist: you can pay less than $5 for one of the best perfume rollerballs on the internet.

1. A set of adorable pastel “unbreakable” deep plates perfect for anyone who wants to be practical, but doesn’t want to sacrifice on prettiness. These chic plates are unexpectedly lightweight, but are still dishwasher-safe and microwave-safe for up to three minutes. 

Promising review: “These are microwaveable and light to carry. Love the colors. Wish they were available in one color only, but I can’t complain. I primarily bought these for microwave purposes. But can be used for salads, hot soup, etc. Also it’s an in-between size like a medium. Just right for me.” —M. Zolnosky

Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.55 (also available as bowls!). 

2. A TikTok-famous “Soft” perfume rollerball that honestly has no right smelling so delectable and layering so well considering it’s only five cash dollars. Reviewers are obsessed with the scent’s warm sweetness with a hint of citrusy zest, comparing it to waffle cones, lemon pound cake, and warm vanilla scones … and this $65 bottle of Pink Sugar  👀. 
Promising review: “Like so many, I found this scent on TikTok. I was a bit skeptical at first but finally got around to trying it. First off, this scent smells amazing! Almost every time I’ve worn it, I receive compliments. It has a sweet smell, almost like warm cake or sugar cookies with a hint of lemon. With such an affordable price, I would definitely recommend this to anyone curious about trying it.” —Chrissy

Get it from Amazon for $4.50 (available in two styles). 

3. A pomade hair wax stick designed to work for all hair types for some residue-free *instant* hold for slick-back ponytails or setting flyaways, cowlicks, and baby hairs into place, if that’s the vibe you’re going for this fall. Reviewers note how easy it is to glide over hair and brush back without leaving hair looking greasy or shiny. 

Promising reviews: “I saw this on YouTube and immediately wanted to try it. I have curly hair which I love but sometimes I just want to put it in a ponytail and go on with my day. This is a time saver for all those little hairs that tend to stick up or don’t want to stay in place. I’m not a fan of hairspray, and this even smells nice. I believe it’s a light coconut smell. Overall satisfied, and you don’t need to use much. I took it with me on vacation, and it saved me time in the evening from having to deal with bad hair days.” —Blanca Perez

Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in multipacks).

4. Essence’s “What the Fake!” Plumping Lip Filler to give your lips a lil’ extra ~vavoom~ — this tingly formula not only volumizes your lips, but it’s made with hyaluronic acid and vitamin E to leave them extra moisturized and hydrated. Check out a TikTok of the plumping lip filler in action. 

Promising review: “I got this as an add-on last minute because of the price. It’s small, but wow, it’s impactful. A little goes a long way, and you can feel it working instantly. There is a tingle, not quite a burn. I’d def use a bit at a time when starting, but it works great right away.” —Bt2turntup

Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in two tints). 

5. Catrice “Instant Awake” Under Eye Brightener, which became the internet’s holy grail for concealing and brightening dark circles under your eyes so fast that everyone’s old concealers are doing double takes. This lightweight color-adapting formula is designed for truly ~invisible~ coverage that makes a drastic difference. The color-adaptive formula is designed so one of two shades will work on any skin tone. 

Promising review: “Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it.” —Monica T. 

Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in two shades). 

6. Plus Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel, a cult-fave product for your beauty arsenal that will quickly help minimize eye puffiness and swelling thanks to its winning combo of caffeine and hyaluronic acid. It’s basically an alarm clock for your eyeballs, because boy howdy are they awake now!! 

Good Molecules is a small business that specializes in affordable skincare products. 

Promising review: “I love this product and have noticed a huge difference when using it consistently. I am on the younger side and don’t have the worst under eye bags, but on those occasional mornings where my eyes are puffy with somewhat visible dark circles, this product definitely does the trick! Honestly love all the Good Molecules products.” —Hayden Smith 

Get it from Amazon for $5.99.

Read more about how to choose a weight and what these blankets help with and how from Cleveland Clinic.

Promising review: “I love weighted blankets, but I always get way too hot with them. This is perfect because I can cover up the half of my body that I want the weighted feeling on while the rest do my body gets to stay cool. It is perfect for me.” —Patricia Newt

Promising review: “I got these to help motivate me to write in a journal to help my mental health. They work great, and I LOVE seeing all the different colors in my journal! It makes me happy. :)” —Ella B. 

“I love these pens. They were on a TikTok review, I thought I would give them a shot. I don’t doodle, I write. They write smooth like a felt tip pen. Plus the option of colors, yahoo! For $7 you can’t go wrong!” —Heatherfoy68

Get a set of 18 from Amazon for $8.99 (available in two other sets and two larger sizes).

9. A bottle of Elizavecca Hair Treatment, an Olaplex-like repairing mask infused with collagen ingredients and protein extracts that will help restore hair health and reduce shedding. All you gotta do is apply it on wet hair after a shampoo, wait five minutes, and rinse it out.

This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b–4c curls mentioning it worked for them! 

Promising review: “Like many others, I tried this as a replacement for Olaplex. Honestly, Olaplex never had a great effect on my hair and certainly wasn’t worth the price. This did an unreal job on my hair!! I was skeptical (tried a little bit first because I was petrified it would burn off my hair and I would end up bald!) but lo and behold, it was magic! My hair is so strong, silky, and healthy looking after just one use. Plus, you can’t beat the price! Have already ordered another box. I should also add I have curly/wavy hair that’s been colored to a light brown. Buy it!!” —BB

10. A three-pack of vintage-inspired sunglasses for anyone who needs to stock up on a few “these look like Ray-Bans, but I won’t cry into my latte if I accidentally leave them in the Starbucks parking lot” pairs this year. These are especially handy because you can match the subtle prints to whatever fall ‘fit you’re wearing! 

Promising review: “I’ve been buying these for years. They replaced my Ray-Bans that look identical! Fit great, and with the price point, I don’t have to worry too much with my kids and being on the go!” —Jessica M

Get a pack of three from Amazon for $14.99 (clip the $5 off coupon on the product page for this price; available in seven sets, as well as two-packs and individual pairs). 

11. L’Oréal Paris BB Cream, a FAST-acting, anti-redness moisturizer with results that feel like legitimate magic — especially considering its competitor, the Dr Jart+ Cicapair Color Correcting Cream, is over twice as expensive. Reviewers especially love this as a base for their makeup, because it leaves skin super soft and primed. 

Promising review: “I’d yet to find anything (even foundation) that could cover up my red areas. Cheeks, chin, nose, and forehead. It comes out green, but has a gorgeous lightweight finish of a tint that indeed covers my redness beautifully. There’s no greasiness to it at all. It dries down to a beautiful matte finish. It’s super easy to use. I use my fingers. The texture is like silk. It leaves my face baby-soft, not sticky at all. It doesn’t settle into my fine lines or wrinkles, and I don’t need powder to ‘bake’ it under my eyes. It also covers the black circles under my eyes.” —Julie F. 

Get it from Amazon for $9.77 (available in six styles). 

12. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner you can plop into your sink, run a little water on, and let its blue magic fizz its way up to the top while clearing out all the gunk from your culinary adventures in one go.Amazon

Promising review: “Saw on TikTok (don’t judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you’re left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance.” —Jessica Hamilton

Get a four-pack from Amazon for $3.67.

13. A set of PaintLab press-on nails to save you SOOO much money getting them done at a salon — especially since you can have ~trending~ prints for this fall, including cheetah print, which is having a big moment right meow. 🐾. 

Amazon

PaintLab is a small business that specializes in unique press-on nails and nail and beauty accessories. 

Promising review: “I was initially concerned that these nails might be cheap due to the price, but they exceeded my expectations. They are sturdy and don’t bend like other brands I’ve tried. Plus, the designs are incredibly fun and eye-catching.” —Emma Wood 

Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in 37 prints). 

14. A stress relief flower coloring book for adults so instead of trying to outrun your problems, you can out-color them, and have a bunch of darling pieces of art to show for it. 

Psst — you can pick up a cult-fave colored pencil set on Amazon for $9.99! 

Promising review: “Great stress reliever. Stimulates my creativity. I have taken pictures of what I colored and have made it my wallpaper for my cellphone. Very glad I made this purchase.” —Dawn62

Get it from Amazon for $7.39. 

15. E.l.f’s brand new Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara, a GODSEND for anyone with thin or fragile lashes. This uses lightweight ~tubing~ technology to wrap around lashes and give them a natural-looking, smudge-proof extension so good it almost looks fake. The real boon, though, is how easily the “tubes” slide off in clean, easy swipes at the end of the day when you’re washing your face — absolutely no smudging, over-scrubbing, or special eye makeup removal products required. 

Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action. 

I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn’t even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I’ve tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I’m like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I’m a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I’m wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black. 

Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades). 

16. A pair of ridiculously comfy, arch-supported suede clogs with some reeeeal Birkenstock energy at a fraction of the price. These are the *foot’s kiss* perfect shoe for romping around and staying cozy when the temps start to drop. 

Amazon

Promising review: “I wasn’t expecting to like this as much as I thought I would! Such a comfy shoe to walk around in or do moderate going out type things. Very durable and has a lot of support. Kept my feet warm and fits so well!” —Shannon

Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in women’s sizes 5.5–14 and seven colors). 

17. A cult-fave supportive seamless compressive bodysuit that reviewers swear is a cheap alternative to Skims and makes for such a perfect wardrobe staple that people are stocking UP on Amazon. Not only does this come in a bunch of neutral and fun colors, but it tucks easily into pants and skirts alike, so you can move and groove without worrying about your top moving somewhere it shouldn’t.

Shaperx is a small business that specializes in supportive, compressive bodysuits in a variety of styles.

Promising review: “I bought this on a whim, seeing it on TikTok, desperately looking for solutions, and was SHOCKED at how snatched it made me. My top fits perfectly now! I am sooo grateful I can wear this top to my event without it gaping between the buttons. Not only that, but so many clothes in my closet fit me again! I had a ton of silk blouses that were busting out between the buttons around the bust, and now they all look so smooth and fit perfectly.” —lydia velichkovski

Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in women’s sizes XXS–5XL and 12 styles, including shorts and thong style)

18. Eos’ Shea Butter Vanilla Cashmere body lotion, which TikTok is going *feral* over both because of the lightweight, long-lasting moisture, and the soothing, delicious smell that reviewers compare to more expensive brands like Philosophy and Bath & Body Works. 

Promising review: “Heaven sent for your skin; heavenly scent to enjoy. This feels absolutely amazing going on. Gets absorbed quickly, for a lotion rich with oil. Doesn’t leave a greasy feeling, as long as you give it a minute or two to fully absorb. The scent is, for me anyway, like aromatherapy. It smells like an iced sugar cookie, and is a great base layer for fragrance. Very relaxing.” —Dragonheart Jo

Get it from Amazon for $8.98 (available in additional scents and sizes).

19. A hydrating, plumping lip glow oil reviewers compare to the cult-fave Dior Lip Oil … that is, if it were a FRACTION of the price 👀. 

Promising review: “This is by far my favorite lip gloss on Amazon. The lip gloss keeps your lips moisturized and plump throughout the day. Highly recommend if you haven’t tried already!” —Brianna Clark 

Get it from Amazon for $3.99+ (available in four shades and in two-packs). 

20. A vacuum-free space-saving compression bag so easy to use that all you have to do is stick your clothes inside, zip up the bag, roll the bag, and watch all the excess air get squished out of them until your clothes magically shrink. Yes, maybe it’s only a weekend trip, but some of us need OPTIONS!! 

Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

HELLO, I AM OBSESSED WITH THESE. Despite all the rave reviews I was definitely skeptical of space-saving bags that didn’t require a vacuum, and even as they were actively squishing my clothes into oblivion I still couldn’t quite believe it. I had easily two suitcases worth of clothes I wanted to pack for a three-week trip to London, and I managed to neatly pack the entirety of my wardrobe in one roller carry-on bag. Truly all I had to do was put my clothes in the bag, push them to the bottom, and then sit on it to get the air out before sealing it up. I had tons of extra bags and make a habit of taking them with me in case other people joining me on trips need them to be able to pack souvenirs on the way home. I’m never taking a long trip without these again — these are worth every damn penny. 

Psst — just note that airlines will still enforce weight limits, so don’t fly TOO close to the sun packing these up!! 

Get a set of eight from Amazon for $15.76. 

21. A nine-pair set of hypoallergenic golden hoop earrings because sometimes you have to get the outfit vibe just! right!!! which means mixing things up from your usual go-to hoops (bless their overworked hearts). This gives you plenty of affordable, chic options so you can try out a different set every day of the week. 

Amazon

Promising review: “I’m picky when it comes to jewelry and love these. They haven’t tarnished on me at all or hurt my ears, and the gold isn’t tacky looking. Love the variety and you can’t beat the pricing. Also, a great gift!” —Marisa

Get a set of nine from Amazon for $15.99 (also available in silver and rose gold). 

22. L’Oréal Paris Collagen Daily Face Moisturizer so intensely hydrating, plumping, and smoothing that reviewers compare it to the $92 Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream 👀. Not only is this super effective (and affordable!) for use overnight *and* overtime, but its nongreasy formula makes it play super well with makeup. 

Promising review: “I absolutely LOVE this product. The texture is just like the CT Magic Cream. It is super rich but doesn’t make the skin feel greasy. I have extremely sensitive/acne prone skin and this doesn’t break me out at all. I have been using it for about two years now and I will never stop using it. Super inexpensive and works wonders!” —Monica S. 

Get it from Amazon for $9.70 (available in two sizes, and unscented and fragranced). 

23. A set of wildly popular moisture-wicking double-brushed microfiber sheets with a softness so luxurious that you’ll be like, “Cotton whomst??” Reviewers especially love that the “cooling” effect of these is no joke, particularly for people in hot climates or people experiencing night sweats and hot flashes. 

LuxClub is a small business that specializes in soft, durable, luxury-style sheets. 

Promising review: “LOVE THESE!! I was searching for a sheet set that would help me sleep more comfortably at night and found these. I have terrible hot flashes with night sweats and get up in the morning just miserable. Of course, these do not eliminate my hot flashes as no sheets will, but they definitely make my nights much more comfortable by eliminating wet bedding, and I definitely appreciate that! Aside from their moisture-wicking abilities, they are very soft, easy to look at, and launder extremely well. I would highly recommend these for anyone shopping for sheet sets and especially for anyone experiencing night sweats!!” —Shannon Warfel

Get it from Amazon for $27.95+ (available in sizes Twin—California King, with deep pockets, and in 37 styles). 

24. A Skims-inspired seamless, compressive ribbed bodycon jumpsuit reviewers love as the ultimate year-round layering piece, pairing it with button-ups, crop tops, and oversize sweaters. 

Promising review: “RUN. Don’t walk. I never write reviews but legit as soon as I put this on, I knew I had to share with the world. So surprisingly thick (no fear of see through) and stretchy. The ribbed texture is fun and gives that extra snatch effect.” —bmg

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in women’s sizes S–L and and 10 colors). 

25. No Worries: A Guided Journal, a popular self-guided journal designed to help with managing anxiety, stress, and the general “adkfjgaldkjfgalkj” in your brain. Each day has a similar set of prompts for 12 undated weeks to help you reflect on your thought patterns and sources of anxiety, and gradually find self-care practices and management strategies that suit you best. Promising review: “I’ve never been a journal or diary person, but I needed an outlet for my anxiety and stress. Each day has the same two-page spread that prompts you to think about your day, how you felt, and why you felt that way. There isn’t really any inspiration or advice, just open lines for your thoughts without it being an intimidating blank page. This journal has already helped me see patterns in my thoughts/emotions, and I feel better overall. I would recommend this journal to anyone.” —Kari Madsen

Get it from Amazon for $9.95. 

26. A pair of high-waisted crossover flare leggings your butt will thank you for in advance — these are the ultimate in comfort and breathability while still staying on trend. Reviewers who have more expensive pairs from Lululemon, GymShark, and Aerie actually say they *prefer* these over them. 

Promising review: “I had these leggings in my cart, and I contemplated as I typically buy Lululemon leggings, BUT your girl is on a BUDGET right now, so I decided to buy these. The day came, I received them, and Y’ALL, my butt…scrumptious. These leggings are very breathable, they are not see-through at all, and they hug my hips and make my lower body look amazing.” —Andrea

Get them from Amazon for $19.99 (available in women’s sizes XS–XXL, 6 styles/inseams, and 28 colors).

27. A jar of internet-beloved The Pink Stuff, which tackles so many darn things that it’ll be the BFF of every room in your house. Need to paint over a stain on the wall? Get it off with The Pink Stuff. Think you need to replace that caked-over grimy pan? Put The Pink Stuff to the test. About to hire cleaners to tackle whatever the heck is going on in your tub? 1-800-The-Pink-Stuff, baby!!

A lot of people compare it to the Magic Eraser in paste form, so even your weirdest, most stubborn stains will meet their match.

Promising review: “Found this product on TikTok. I don’t think I’ve ever seen value like I do this product! Literally use it on EVERYTHING!! Kids and teens have dirt, grime, and grease on their walls? …This will make it look like a new paint job. Baseboards need some love? A pea-size amount of this makes them look brand-new. Need a shoe cleaner? PERFECT for sneakers. I could name a million more uses, but I can ASSURE you this is worth every penny. What’s more? You need such LITTLE of this product, it will last a VERY long time. Thank you, TikTok!!!” —Rachel in CLT

Get it from Amazon for $5.29+ (available in three sizes).

Get it from Amazon for $8.89+ (available in two styles). 

29. A set of chic, highly popular wireless Bluetooth earbuds reviewers compare to AirPods, except arguably better — these are completely waterproof (as in, you can sweat in them in the heat and then FULLY take them in the shower) and come with several silicone earbuds to get the best fit possible.

These come with a wireless charging case that provides up to 14 hours of charge (with the earbuds able to play for four-plus hours with each full charge). 

Promising review: “I previously had Beats headphones that broke within three months. I bought these to replace my Beats headphones, and will never turn back. These headphones are amazing. They have a very long battery life. I love the case they come with. I use them in the gym four days a week, and they have not become waterlogged. If you’re looking for reliable headphones, I would highly recommend these!” —Tiffany

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

30. And a pair of wireless over-the-ear headphones designed to look like AirPods Max, so you can still enjoy the comfort and chic style of their iconic headphones without shelling out hundreds of dollars. These feature premium cushion padding, a built-in mic with the ability to take calls, 10 hours of playtime per charge, and surprisingly decent noise blocking for the price. 

iJoy is a small business that specializes in headphones and tech accessories. 

Promising review: “They’re comfortable, hold a charge really well, and actually work really well in terms of noise cancellation. My daughter can be sitting next to me talking and I can barely even hear her. I almost prefer these in terms of sound quality to my Gen 1 AirPods as well. Easy to charge, easy to pair, very lightweight, and fit is adjustable. I’m very impressed with these headphones!” —Samantha H. 

Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in five colors). 

31. A lil’ polar bear hydrating eye stick for some sweet, sweet relief when you wake up with puffy, aching eyes.

Bonus: it’s a heck of a lot cheaper than the other TikTok fave, the Tula version. 

Promising review: “I have always had serious dark circles and bags under my eyes, and this has really changed this for me. The results are incredible. The puffiness is gone. The dark circles are hardly noticeable. My sensitive skin has not broken out. I never write reviews, but this was so good that I had to write a review. This actually works.” —Ben

“Better than Tula! I love this cooling stick!! It’s super easy, affordable, and smells lovely.” —Heather

Get it from Amazon for $8.99. 

32. A saline nasal gel to help soothe your poor, dry nostrils. You can apply one to two drops directly around your nostrils for instant relief from the discomfort, including soothing aloe to moisturize the area. Amazon

Promising review: “I don’t like to talk about it, but every year, my nose becomes super dry to the point where I sometimes get a bloody nose. I usually use some squeeze saline, but it got so bad this year that I decided to get this gel. A dab on a finger or a swab and my nose is hydrated, moistened, and not dry as a desert. No winter bloody noses! It is very light, is not slimy or like Vaseline, and it does not have any smell.” —Catherine

Get it from Amazon for $3.62.

33. A six-piece (!!) set of high-performance matte lipsticks at a *fraction* of the price of its competitors that stays the heck put without drying or cracking your lips by the end of the day. (Seriously, reviewers are DRAGGING major brands in their comments, these are so cheap and effective.) 

Promising review: “What can I say, I saw a TikTok about this lipstick, and for $10 had to try it! The reviews are right, for some reason, this lipstick is better than even $20 name-brand ones bought from Ulta. Not only does it smell great, but dries in under a minute and survived eating a cupcake, a Starbucks drink, and an entire evening out, no smudging, and had to be removed with a makeup wipe. Fantastic product!!” —Claire

Get a six-piece set from Amazon for $8.99 (available in five sets).

Promising review: “Lululemon WHOOOO? Great quality, washed well with my regular laundry. Retained it color and shape. I wore it for a back day at the gym and it was extremely comfortable/durable, no issues! I will keep buying these crop jackets. Also if you have a bigger chest I suggest you size up!” —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in women’s sizes XS–XL and 14 styles). 

35. A painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen reviewers swear by as an alternative to pricey professional treatments and strips. This gets results from the very first use, lightening up years’ worth of stains from coffee, tea, wine, or just, you know, existing as a human with teeth.Promising review: “This product actually works! Very affordable too. There are a lot of expensive teeth whitening products out there, but why spend extra money when you don’t have too? Definitely worth trying!” —Mona L Cureton

Get it from Amazon for $7.96 (also available in multipacks).

36. Hair Chemist’s Sleek Spray, a humidity-resistant styling spray to help minimize frizz in humid climates and boost shine. If you’re hooked on the $28 Color Wow Dream Coat that’s been blowing up TikTok the past few years, you might want to try out this cheaper alternative! 
Promising review: “I have very wavy hair that doesn’t like humidity. It frizzes and tries to re-wave itself whenever I’ve straightened and gone out in the humidity. I tested this out on a 10-minute walk this morning with my dog in 97% humidity, and there was very minimal flyaways and very minimal, almost non-existent waves. This product is super lightweight and doesn’t make my hair greasy, which I’m prone to. I’d rate this 10 stars if I could! The smell is nice, too.” —Jaime

Get it from Amazon for $15. 

37. E.l.f. Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray, which sprays on super fine, but has a POWERFUL lock on makeup. Reviewers compare the strong hold and dewy effect to brands like Urban Decay and Milk. Just remember to shake shake shake it to activate it before you spray! 

Promising review: “Definitely had the glowy appearance while feeling weightless! Since it was a girl’s night, I came home and went right to bed without removing my makeup. The blush, highlighter, some eye makeup, and brow filler stayed the whole time! Still have the dewy look! This stuff works SO well — will definitely be buying this instead of the Urban Decay Extra Glow, which is triple the price. You won’t be disappointed! Plus, it fits in my purse!” —Sadie

Get it from Amazon for $10. 

38. An affordable cult-favorite luxury-scented candle with a scent reminiscent of Le Labo’s Santal 33, and a throw so satisfying that reviewers can’t stop gushing about it. If you’re in the market for a signature scent for your space, look no further than this jasmine, oud, and sandalwood blend. Lulu Candles is a US-based small business that specializes in scented candles and perfumes. 

Promising review: “This is such a great candle that fills the room quickly with a really nice strong smell that is soothing and relaxing. I was looking for a less expensive Le Labo Santal 33 scent candle, and this one is very, very close! It’s a bit stronger, but I love it! The shipment arrived fast, and I just love how fast it fills up the room without being lit for so long!” —Cristina Bertolotto

Honestly, I can’t imagine my workday without it!” —kody craig

Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in two sizes and 18 colors).

Promising review: “It warmed up really quick and looks nice in my laundry room! It’s small enough to hide and still make a big impact on the area it was in! It’s sturdy and easy to use. The wax I have in here smells amazing!” —Cassandra

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in six styles). 

41. A classic herringbone necklace so close in style to the Tiffany HardWear version that you might blink and mistake it for the real thing (imagine being able to drop $13,000 human dollars on a necklace though, MY STARS). 
Amazon

Promising review: “I’ve been thinking about purchasing the Tiffany version of this necklace, but when I saw this one, I decided to purchase it. So glad I did. It is beautiful and very substantial. When I first put it on, couldn’t believe the weight, in a good way. Feels and looks expensive, and the color of the gold is perfect, in my opinion; not too yellow or orangey. Love, love, love this necklace!!!” —FAXA10

Get it from Amazon for $20.99 (available in four styles). 

42. And a stackable oval gem ring so gorgeous and well-made that reviewers use it as a temporary wedding ring when they’re traveling. Psst — people love stacking it with other high quality Pavoi rings!

TBH, I bought this ring after seeing it blow up on TikTok, and I love it. I wear it every single day, and I’ve gotten SO many compliments on it — friends are always stunned when I tell them how cheap it is! I’ve been wearing it for months now without any wear and tear that a quick cleaning won’t fix. Pictures don’t do it justice; it really does ✨gleam✨ like real jewels. (Bonus: I use this as a fake wedding ring when I travel to encourage humans to leave me alone, lolololol.) 

Get it from Amazon for $14.95+ (available in three plates and sizes 5–10). 

43. A long-sleeved waffle shirt you’ll want to stock up on as a layering piece, especially at this price and quality — reviewers compare this super soft, stylish piece to one from an expensive mall brand. 

Amazon

Promising review: “I recently got this and it’s become a new favorite in my wardrobe. The color is rich and versatile, while still being neutral. It is perfect for pairing with jeans or layering under a jacket. The waffle texture adds a cozy feel without being too heavy, making it ideal for cooler days. The quality is very nice, it feels expensive and is on the ‘heavier’ side. It’s also super comfortable and fits just right—definitely a go-to piece for casual outings or lounging around.” —The Duchess Corgi

Get it from Amazon for $30.99 (available in women’s sizes XS–XL and seven colors). 

44. A pair of delightfully chic open-toed memory foam slippers so you can get all the comfort and support of these cozy soles *without* overheating. Reviewers compare the style to Uggs, and because the soles are anti-slip and water resistant, you can also wear them out running errands 👀. 

Promising review: “These slippers are amazing. They are so comfortable and look so expensive, and they are high-quality for the low price. Great for after the shower and wearing around the house and super easy to wash in the washing machine. I’ve had these for over a year, and they are still in perfect condition.” —Sydney Nicole

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in women’s sizes 6.5–12 and four colors). 

45. A Dash mini maker with so much fast cooking potential that your tastebuds will *sing* — reviewers use this for anything from whipping up eggs to grilled cheese to pancakes to cookies. People who live alone or in small kitchens swear by this as a fast, easy cooking hack. 

Promising review: “This is the perfect easy breakfast sandwich maker. It cooks the egg perfectly (I used jumbo eggs, and it worked perfectly just like regular eggs). It’s honestly one of my personal favorite appliances. I just had a baby, and having something I can crack an egg into and let it sit to cook without having to flip and it’s done within five minutes is honestly a lifesaver, and it cleans super easy! 10/10 I love this thing; it’s just like my George Foreman!” —Emily

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

46. A set of nonstick, reusable toaster oven bags to let you make grilled cheese, paninis, and toasted sammies right in the toaster.

(Psst — you can also use these to reheat french fries, pizza, and even mini tacos, and get all that glorious heat without them getting all soggy from the microwave. Leftovers just got lit.)

Promising review: “I had no idea how well these would work. You can put toast or rolls or anything that will fit in the slot — even if it has jelly or spread or anything on it — in the bag in the toaster, and it doesn’t hurt the toaster, and the food comes out warm.” —mare36
