If you’re in a spending mood but don’t wanna spend more than $25 on anything, this list is for you.

I am a contributor and former BuzzFeed Shopping writer based in Cincinnati, OH where you can find me curating lists on ~a little bit of everything~ (and adding a few things to my own cart in the process).

Promising review: "These sunglass are really impressive. Each pair comes with a carrying bag and a microfiber cleaning cloth. They feel pretty heavy which is something I actually like - it makes them feel a lot more durable. I wore a pair all day at an amusement park including on roller coasters and they stayed on no problem. Quite comfortable — I would highly recommend!" —Anna & Phillip Foltz

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $15.10+ (available in dozens of colors).

Promising review: "Finally got around to trying this stuff. Lived up to the hype, really a 'miracle' paste as it is effective at cleaning many things. So far, I’ve used it to clean my stove, stainless kitchen sink, and shower (doors and all), and it worked. Also got rid of a deep stain on my kitchen counter that Clorox wipes couldn’t get out. Picked up so much dirt, the microfiber towels I used got thrown away; I couldn’t see them being cleaned well enough to reuse. Seriously thinking about ditching all my other kitchen/bathroom cleaners and just using this because so far, it seems to do it all. And it’s not super expensive either. They’ve got another fan in me!" —sunsean

Get one from Amazon for $5.97 (also comes in a multi-packs).

Promising review: "What a great idea! I usually do just a so-so job applying nail polish. I have a bit of a shaky hand, which causes a less-than-perfect manicure. I have great nails, nice and hard, and I hated to spend a fortune getting manicures at the salon. For some reason, just having this little polish holder has made a difference. I don't have to move far from the bottle to the nail, which seems to do the trick! What a great little invention! I haven't been back to the salon since! I definitely recommend." —Cindy RN

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

BTW, Pavoi — the company behind this piece — has gone TikTok viral time and time again for its classic, modern, and expensive-looking pieces. Check out the rest of Pavoi's line of jewelry for more options, including earrings, bracelets, and anklets! 

Promising review: "I wear it every day! I am shocked at the quality of this necklace. I try to take it off before I shower, but sometimes I forget, and it has held up beautifully. I wear it every day and night, and there is no tarnishing or turning my skin into weird colors. It is definitely worth the money at such a good price. I get so many compliments on it. I’m definitely going to try more from this brand." —McKenna Oancea

Get it from Amazon for $13.45+ (available in three finishes and two materials). 

It can even work on grass, blood, oil, and other stubborn stains.

Promising review: "So I am a mom of a nourished, happy, almost 9-month-old boy.... Who has given us more than our fair share of mustard yellow to orange, bright breast milk diaper blowouts? Let me tell you, they make one heck of a stain. I had Resolve stain remover and Honest Company stain remover... A stain still remained after using and scrubbing. This stuff, Grandma’s Secret, WORKS. What I do is rinse the clothing of any remaining 'residue,' spray with Grandma's Secret, scrub it in a bit, let it sit for a few minutes, and either I’ll rinse it out after or it may sit for a day or so before going through the wash, but either way, STAIN IS GONE!" —Mellisa B.

Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in two sizes and various multi-packs). 

Promising review: "I originally ordered just one pack of these, actually having very low expectations as to whether I'd like them, the quality would be good etc. Well, they're probably the very best panties I've ever purchased from anywhere. They feel almost like100% cotton with a minute amount of something else. They are cool and breathable and fairly stretchy, though absolutely not spandex feeling at all. They hug and support, but have zero binding. They don't ride up on the butt cheeks, and the waistband doesn't roll. They are the most perfect in every way pair of panties I've ever purchased. So much so, that I ordered a second package immediately. The price is great, too. Highly, highly recommend!" —Jan Rivera

Get a pack of five from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in women's sizes S–5XL and nine color combinations). 

Promising review: "I have used every mascara on the planet (not literally but I have tried dozens) from the most expensive to the least. This little jewel is the best-kept mascara secret ever! Lifts and separates lashes with no clumping, and did you see this price?? Trust me, this is a must have for any make-up collection. You absolutely can't go wrong with this!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $4.97 (available in four shades and a multipack).

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 House

Get a pack of four from Amazon for $3.96+ (also available in multipacks).

Promising review: "I’ve tried many deodorants, and this is by far one of the best. It provides long-lasting protection throughout the day, even during busy or active days. It keeps me feeling fresh and confident without needing to reapply. I also love that it’s gentle on my skin. It goes on smoothly, doesn’t leave a sticky feeling, and hasn’t caused any irritation. The scent is clean, light, and not overpowering. A little goes a long way, so each stick lasts a long time. If you’re looking for a reliable deodorant that offers excellent sweat and odor protection while being kind to sensitive skin, I highly recommend this product. I will definitely purchase it again." —Dariannys

Get it from Amazon for $8.57 (available in three scents and multi-packs).

In order for this to work, you have to soak it in water to soften it up before using it.

Promising review: "I am a bit of a neat freak. These have been soooo useful for cleaning my baseboards, blinds, and fans. They can be used on really any surface, but they are specifically good in those spots. They can be submerged in warm soapy water and reused over and over again. They are comparable to the Scrub Daddy damp dusters. There are a bunch of them in the box and they are all individually wrapped. A great deal and a great product!" —Bryn

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $6.79+ (available in three pack sizes and six color combinations). 

Promising review: "I saw this product all over TikTok and decided to buy one for myself because I hate using regular lighters. It has a very long battery life and works like a charm. 10/10 would buy again." —Abriana

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 13 colors and multi-packs).

Promising review: "Super cute and practical. The size is perfect for keys, phone, wallet, and a few extras without feeling bulky. The strap adjusts easily and works both as a crossbody and a true belt bag. The material feels durable and wipes clean, and the zippers are surprisingly good quality for the price. Such an easy throw-on bag for errands, travel, or work. It is super comfortable and from what I've seen very durable." —Grace Morgan

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in 31 colors).

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has this and says, "I use this on my skin and definitely have noticed results! While it didn't help kick my stubborn pre-period hormonal acne, it has done *wonders* with reducing redness on my face, particularly around my nose, and in dealing with my pores. Since I started using it, my primer and foundation goes on a whole lot smoother, and I'm struggling a whole lot less to cover my pores. After using it a few weeks, I read the advice of one reviewer to put this on when your face is slightly moist from washing, rub it in, let it dry, and then put your moisturizer on top of it — I've found that it's what got me the best results!"

Promising review: "I caved to the TikTok hype and now I am obsessed, lol! I have extremely sensitive skin but this was the first product that I didn’t have to go through a 'getting used to' phase." —Shelby

Promising review: "I do not know how I lived without them. I have saved a bunch on unnecessary alterations." —Gerald Voigt

Promising review: "There are the best things ever. I have jeans that fit great, but the waist is always too loose. So I saw these on TikTok and was so curious to see if they worked. But seriously, you need to buy these, the buttons are great material and just the most useful things overall." —Alexa Botello

Get a set of eight from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in a variety of styles and quantities).

Promising review: "These work very well to dampen the sounds of my annoying roommates slamming cabinet doors at all hours of the day. Just make sure you're wiping down the part of the cabinet they'll stick to before applying them. The adhesive is good and should hold for a while." —LMA

Get a sheet of 100 from Amazon for $7.99.

The water-resistant light comes with a replaceable lithium battery.

Promising review: "So glad I found these. I have one on my apartment key and another on my mailbox key. They really work well, especially in low lighting. Since my vision isn't as sharp, these lights save me time so I don’t have to fumble to get my key into the locks. I definitely recommend them. I have a spare for replacement, but they last a long time." —Marni

Get it from Amazon for $6.06 (also available in a two-pack).

Promising review: "I love this thing! The handle makes it so much easier to wash the walls in my shower. No more grinding my knuckles against the shower wall as I'm cleaning it. Just a handle and an easy glide. They are thick and sturdy, and the normal size of a Magic Eraser. I was hoping they would be thicker, but I'm okay with it. I'm definitely a fan and will buy it again!" —Dawne

Get a device and two refills from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in other pack configurations).

This easily adheres to the left side of your vacuum with the provided adhesive. Just be sure to check that the side is flat, and if it is, this should work for you!

Promising review: "I love being able to see all the dog hair on the floor. Makes vacuuming so satisfying." —Andrea H.

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in two styles: battery-operated and rechargeable).

Promising review: "I LOVE this suction backing, it is perfect for all my content creation needs. The suction is great, and it sticks to my phone. I can place it almost anywhere, and it does better than any tripod! I saw someone else showcasing it on TikTok, and I added it to my cart right away!! Highly recommend!" —Chelsea Patterson

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in 15 colors).

Promising review: "These soft socks are like walking on clouds! I put them on and instantly felt the warm, cuddly comfort — they’re so soft, I never want to take them off. Perfect for chilly mornings or lounging around the house, they make me feel like I’m wrapped in a hug. The best part? They’re super cute and come in fun colors and patterns that add a little extra personality to my outfit. Whether I’m relaxing with a book, watching my favorite show, or just need some serious comfort, these socks are my new go-to. If you love feeling cozy and want to add a splash of fun to your sock drawer, these are a total must-have. Soft, stylish, and oh-so-snuggly!" —Shannon

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in seven colors and multipacks).

Promising review: "I am so glad I ordered this privacy screen. It is perfect, easy on the eyes, and aesthetically pleasing. My partner could not see my screen while seated next to me, which I was thankful for since I was finishing up some last-minute Christmas shopping." —Amazon Customer

Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.99+ (available for iPhone 12 Plus–iPhone 17 Pro Max).

Promising review: "Got this after seeing a recommendation on TikTok. It's been a lifesaver for me. I have dry, red, sensitive, acne-prone skin. Most cleansers strip my skin, but not this one. It’s been helping keep my skin clear while not drying it for a few months now. If you have dry skin this is a must!" —L Ashburne

Promising review: "This is one of those things that I wish I'd found years earlier. I've suffered from mortifying stress-induced under-boob sweat for most of my adult life. Also, I'm a lifelong Seattle girl who gets upset when it's warmer than 65 degrees outside. So when I stumbled upon this product, I was curious enough to buy a small pack. And yes, I've come back for MORE! For real, I won't put on a bra without one of these liners now. It absorbs all the moisture from heat and stress. And because it's a really soft bamboo/cotton mix, my skin is finally not feeling tortured under there! To the makers of this ingenious life-changing product: thank you thank you thank you! Sincerely, all the grateful ta-tas you've helped to care for." —Niko

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in women's sizes M–XXL, three colors, variety packs, and different pack sizes). 

Promising review: "This pill organizer is very handy because it allows you to set up your pill regimen for an entire month. The fact that each little container is separate is nice because you can take it with you or set it on the table to help you remember to take your pills. This works well for a friend who has early dementia, so he remembers to take all his medications. Very handy." —Mardi

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in four colors). 

Promising review: "My mum had one of these which I borrowed on my last trip abroad. Thank God I did. This little scale really helped me out for the return trip. I realized that my checked luggage was too heavy and was able to rearrange some stuff between the suitcase and the carry on luggage, and ensure compliance with the weight requirements. When I got to the airport and weighed the checked luggage, the weight was EXACTLY what had been recorded by the scale earlier, which allowed me to avoid excess baggage fees... or worse, having to rearrange items IN the airport. Loved this gadget so much I order one for myself and another for my friend who has recently been bit by the travel bug. Would definitely recommend." —Sheri Ann Georeg

Get it from Amazon for $9.88+ (available in six colors and a two-pack).

This adapter is compatible with most vacuum cleaner pipes, so all you have to do is attach it to your vacuum and guide it around your dryer to suck up excess and hard-to-reach lint. Too much lint buildup not only slows down the drying process, but it's also a fire hazard, so this handy device can actually be considered a safety tool!

Promising review: "Yes, we had a sock in our dryer vent!! This past summer, the lint trap on our dryer broke. Our kids ran the dryer regardless! What a disaster. Received my vacuum kit today, and now my clothes are dry! I sucked up the sock and a piece of lint roller tape. Great product!" —Laurel Enoch

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors).

Promising reviews: "Where has it been all my life? Easy peasy way to coat your chicken, fish, etc. I’ll buy this over and over... Cleaning up is easy; my fingers aren’t a mess. You gotta have this!!" —Holliberry

"This thing is awesome! Breading anything makes such a mess in my kitchen, but I absolutely loved being able to do everything in one container. I only tried a dry rub, but I was so impressed with how evenly it coated. Plus, being dishwasher-safe was a major bonus. Seriously considering getting some for gifts." —Susanne C.

Promising review: "I sprinkled it on my lawn, expecting the usual patchy disappointment. Next thing I know, my yard is looking like it belongs on the cover of Better Homes & Gardens. The neighbors suddenly started waving at me, dogs come by just to roll in it, and I’m pretty sure my mailman lingers just to admire the turf. It grew so fast I half expected it to start paying rent. 10/10 would recommend — unless you like being the only person on the block without a golf course in front of your house." —Kayla Mom 

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three sizes). 

It comes with a little sponge attached for easy application.

Promising reviews: "This product is awesome. Covers the grays/roots. Stays on all day. Also, if you have thin hair, it will fill in the spots nicely. Comes with a sponge that you unscrew off the bottom. This will last a very long time. This is much easier to use than the spray that doesn't always get the right spots and tends to get on your clothes. A good selection of colors. Great price. Will re-order when the time comes." —Amazon Customer

"LOVE! so easy to use and perfect for helping my thinned hairline from postpartum hair loss. I tried a more expensive brand and liked this one more. Definitely recommend it for helping the hairline look fuller. I toss it in my makeup bag and apply quickly ." —Catie B.

Get it from Amazon for $17.95 (available in two sizes and 13 colors).

Get a closer look at it on TikTok! Be sure to pay close attention to the measurements before buying — they're presented in both centimeters and inches. The cover is non-slip, scratch-resistant, and machine-washable!

Promising review: "Although it seemed to take forever to ship and arrive, it is absolutely worth the wait. It is so soft, fits so perfectly on my couch, doesn’t move when I sit on it or when the dog jumps up, and looks nice too! I am extremely satisfied with this purchase, and I hope it helps my couch last a long time. I will update after a while to be sure it holds up. PSA: Read the measurement description before you order. After one month, zero regrets! It has been worth every penny. The couch cover is a fraction of the cost of my couch, so I think it’s been very worth it to help keep the fabric on my couch intact. I washed it on delicate and tumble-dried it on low by itself. Held up great. Again, I love it! Worth the wait and the cost." —sgur

Get it from Amazon for $13.97+ (available in 13 sizes and 14 colors/styles). 

Promising review: "I love WD-40 products and use them for everything. I spray on shovels to keep dirt or snow from sticking, spray around windows and thresholds to deter bugs, clean Sharpies off wood and walls, and, of course, stop squeaky doors. These small direct-point application pens are great. Keep one in the glove box, my kitchen 'junk' drawer, and the house toolbox." —BBP623

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $12.49.

Promising review: "I bought this nifty gadget about six months for a multi-leg, ultra long haul trip and it more than held up the entire duration. I was able to finagle it to fit the tray tables on different planes and like others, I find the height just nice when clamped onto a stowed tray table. It also works on my roller carry-on handle during layovers. However, I find myself using it a lot outside of travel too! Work-wise, I've clamped it onto my office desk shelving to hold my phone at eye level beside my computer. At home, I simply clamped it to a deck of cards and it turns into a versatile stand that I can place on any flat surface. Heck, I've been using it to hold my phone comfortably at eye level while watching videos in bed. It's extremely well-built and I find myself fidgeting with it all the time. Thus far it still feels solid and I don't anticipate breaking it any time soon. Even if it does break, I'll be happy to buy another one or two of it!" —Earendil

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in seven colors and packs of two).

Promising review: "The caulking in my shower had turned black with mold. I had been too sick to take care of things like that for over a year. I used this and within one application it is bright, shiny, white again! If this hadn’t worked, I was planning to remove all the caulking and start over. This saved me hours of work. There are some things that make you satisfied every time you look at it. This is one of them." —Planetary Drive

Promising review: "If you're someone who has sensitive skin like me, this product is for you! I highly recommend it. I learned about this product on TikTok and decided to try it out. It's worth the money. The smell is not overbearing, and it reminds you of a refreshing citrusy fruit. I'm very particular about trying skincare products, but this is your go-to. It will have your face feeling refreshed and clean, and there's no white cast." —Elisabeth L.
