    25 Cheap Things To Treat Yourself To Right Now

    A 10-in-1 hair treatment, whimsical magnets, your cat's new favorite toy, and more under-$25 goodies to bring you a little joy.

    1. A set of adjustable stacking bracelets for a luxe-looking arm party on the cheap. If you love the personal, eclectic look of a delicate bracelet stack, this is quite possibly the easiest way to get it.

    Some reviewers say they're also able to wear them as anklets!

    Promising review: "This bracelet set is very high quality. The cubic zirconia one looks strikingly real. I have sensitive skin and it did not break me out. The seller even included a personalized note with the package. Highly recommend." —Genevieve S.

    Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 10 styles).

    2. A cutie pie (not to be confused with a cow pie 💩) cow pitcher and tumbler set that's worth the moo-lah for how much joy it'll bring you. Whether you wanna put it next to your bed, in your kitchen, or on your desk, add it to your cart *now*, not ungulate-r.

    Promising review: "Too cute to pass up! Adorable!! The size makes it great for cream for coffee or tea or simply water at your bedside. Not to be confused with the larger version — this is great for a party of one. The cow’s head is small and nests perfectly into the body. Painted decor is spot on (no pun in intended) and the glass is good quality glass." —Eleni

    Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two sizes).

    3. A Funko Pop! figure of an icon of your childhood, specifically Lizzie McGuire or Raven Baxter. Sorry not sorry to tempt you with more adorable tchotchkes for your home — but I'm a shopping editor and you're reading BuzzFeed *waves wand in the shape of BuzzFeed arrow instead of mouse ears*.

    4. Or if you prefer the more classic, cinematic Disney princesses (or are running out of shelf space — I feel you), a set of four teeny-tiny Bitty Pop! figures featuring Ariel, Mulan, Tiana, and a surprise fourth, rare princess figure! I so DESPERATELY want these thingamabobs to be part of my world.

    Get it from Amazon for $10.49 (available in more princess combos here).

    5. An Eos shea butter shaving cream that claims to provide all-day moisture and is a fan fave that's also — prepare for applause — under $5. It can be used wet or dry, so my question is, where was this last week when I gave myself a rash trying to quickly dry shave that spot I missed on my calf???

    Promising review: "Must buy! I have dry sensitive skin and I love this stuff! It truly leaves your skin hydrated and smooth!!!! Will use this forever!" —Sarah

    Get it from Amazon for $3.97+ (available in four scents as well as versions for sensitive skin). 

    6. rainbow cat charmer over 18,000 folks and their felines are obsessed with. Super silly and colorful playtime awaits!

    It's from the same brand as the top-selling classic Cat Dancer toy, so no wonder it has a lot of fuzzy fans.

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes writes: "I have this exact toy for my cats, and it's easily their favorite thing to play with — and they have a lot of toys. I first noticed they loved string because they tore apart a mouse toy that was basically string wrapped around a plastic mouse shape — they didn't care about the mouse, but they loved the torn-apart string (aka literal trash at this point). I got this rainbow toy because I realized they really just wanted to chase long tail-like objects, and they sure do light up whenever they see me pick up this wand and know that it's playtime. I love that it's long, so I can just sit on my couch and whisk it around the area, and even shy little Chicho, who likes to sit further back and watch while his older brother plays (as seen in the GIF above), can still bat at it. It's a super simple toy, but the amount of joy it'll probably bring your kitty is worth every penny."

    Promising review: "We bought one of these about five years ago, and it was a hit. It has been well used and finally starting to fray a bit. We have a new kitten, and she absolutely loves this toy. Like others have said, she will drag this thing around and bring it to us to get us to play with her. I just ordered another one." —Jayster

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

    7. A Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm if you're tired of having to keep reapplying moisture to your lips all day every day once the weather gets chilly. This stuff works super well (just ask the 17,000+ people who've given it 5 stars) *and* has ever-important SPF 25.

    Promising review: "LITERALLY BEST EVER!!! In the winter my lips are so dry and I have a bad habit of ripping them, this fixed my lips within a day! I am definitely only ever buying this forever." —Elaina Rivera

    Get it from Amazon for $10 (available in six flavors).

    8. A ridiculous and ridiculously cute breakfast snail figure (whether your morning meal of choice be pancakes or a poppy seed bagel) — not sure SpongeBob had something quite so literal in mind when he wanted to serve up the most important meal of the day Gary's way, but I'm here for it.

    9. A whimsical smiley flower bathroom rug for a ~groovy~ upgrade to your current boring (and tbh kinda gross and beat-up) one.

    Promising review: "I’m so in love with this bath mat! It absorbs water so it dries fast and its soft to stand on. I love this cute design! Cheery for my bathroom! Makes me smile!" —Drhonda fitzroy

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

    10. Exfoliating foot peel booties you just wear for an hour, then await dramatic — and if you look at the pics below you'll see I do mean dramatic — peeling results over the next week or two. And after that? You'll be left with *seriously* soft feet.

    Promising review: "I've worked retail for almost 30 years and it takes a toll on your feet. I recently had a deep crack develop in my heel and it hurt badly. After weeks of pampering my feet, the crack healed. I really needed a pedicure but I was afraid of the salon using the cheese grater thing on my freshly mended heel. I opted for this instead to hopefully shed some of the hardened skin first. IT IS NOTHING SHORT OF A MIRACLE. After one application, my feet are beautiful and smooth! It feels so nice to get rid of all of that old, hard skin. Seriously, just buy this. It's amazing and so easy. Plus, you get two applications. I'm saving the second one and will do that one in a couple of months." —Beth

    Get two pairs from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in three scents).

    11. A delightful and plentiful pack of animal friend mini sticky notes that might actually make you wish you had even more things you needed to remember just so you could use them more often. They'd look super cute just decorating your bulletin board or monitor with lil' affirmations, too!

    Promising review: "We bought these because of our daughter's love of animals and she uses them every day now. As bookmarks, for school, and for just anything she needs to write a note about. Price was great and delivery was quick. We may have to buy more soon." —Joejoe858

    Get six packs of three 15-sheet pads from Amazon for $6.99.

    12. A super chic set of four stackable geometric trays for an aesthetically pleasing (and shockingly cheap!) way to organize everything from jewelry to stationery to snacks for dinner party guests. You may need a set for every room in your house!

    Promising review: "This little tray set is delightful. You can split it up to individual small trays for a catchall/keys/change etc. You can use the larger base tray for holding fruit or as a trivet for a teapot. The set also is great fun for little kids who can then us it as a puzzle. I am looking forward to it being available in multiple colors and sizes. I would most certainly buy more." —Sue Zak

    Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.85.

    13. A surprise box featuring a figure of Smoko's iconic Tayto potato in a too-cute-to-be-allowed costume, like a kitty or famous painting. Please allow me a minute to ~scream~ at all of these, but especially, well, the "The Scream" one.

    14. An anti-frizz microfiber towel designed specifically for drying all hair types faster — excellent absorbency means less time with a hair dryer later, and there's no need to try to force a big ol' bath towel around your strands! Bonus: it'll have you looking like you just stepped out of a luxe spa or salon treatment.

    Promising review: "This was the first time I ordered this product and I am extremely happy. It is going to be on my forever list. If you use hair towels you should try this one, I believe you will be happy with it." —Toni Delia

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in two sizes).

    15. A set of adorable peel-and-stick adhesive hooks featuring feline friends who'll pop up when you hang something from them — aka the perfect motivation for you to be a lil' more organized and a sweet decor update that doesn't require a hammer and nails.

    Promising reviews: "These are so cute and easy to install. My husband always forgets to put his keys away so I got these to try to condition him into hanging them up. Now he has a little friend say hello when he gets home." —leaaffy

    Get a four-piece set from Amazon for $15.99+ (also available in a six-pack that includes a monkey and baby chick). 

    16. A gorgeous glass tile coaster that'll make your work-from-home setup a little more chic and stop your fave water bottle from leaving a ring in its eight-straight-hours-a-day location.

    17. Mane Club One Hit Wonder, a leave-in conditioner spray made with cannabis sativa seed oil that calls itself "the perfect dose of high-dration," lol. But more than that, it has 10 different functions that'll have you jumping for ~joint~.

    It can condition, detangle, offer heat protection, hydrate, prevent breakage, smooth, soften, boost shine, control frizz, and help strengthen hair.

    Mane Club is an NYC–based small business that specializes in cruelty-free and vegan hair products.

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly loves this and says: "I have a very thick head of naturally curly hair and have put it through just about everything, including all kinds of hot tools, at-home dye kits, the gamut of shampoo and conditioner types, basically every dry shampoo and hair oil in existence, and just about anything else to try for a story for you dear readers. Lots of products have either straight-up failed, been meh enough for me to not recommend, or fantastic but so costly that I feel guilty recommending them. Basically, a lot of stuff ends up in the trash or pawned off on my (grateful) friends when it isn't a fit for me. But THIS STUFF. This stuff has become my go-to for spraying on my wet hair and then blow drying. Normally I'd apply a heat protector and an oil treatment or leave-in conditioner before blow-drying. But this 10-in-1 treatment takes the cake!" Read her full Mane Club's 10-in-1 spray review (it's #8).

    Promising review: "Love this stuff. It has made a drastic difference in the manageability of my wavy and frizzy hair. I will make sure to keep a bottle on hand for the rest of forever. 😆" —Chloe A.

    Get it from Mane Club for $10 or Amazon for $9.95.

    18. A trio of super pretty handmade cork and faux flower magnets to hold up pictures and reminders in the cutest cottagecore way.

    Promising review: "OMG so so so cute! These magnets have really added life to my boring fridge. They were so delicately packaged." —Jaxqueline

    Get a set of three from Corkies By Steph on Etsy for $15 (available in four color options).

    19. The Taylor Swift Little Golden Book Biography that might make the kiddos in your life wonder why you're getting emotional during story time (though this deserves a place on your shelf even if there are as many kiddos in your life as Taylor has bad songs — zero). With stunning illustrations and details every Swiftie will appreciate, this will really be 🎶 the kinda book you can't put down. 🎶

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Heather Braga writes: "I have this book (as pictured above) and by that I mean the second I saw it available for pre-order I added it to my cart faster than you could say 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.' As the parent of a 1-year-old, I have many Little Golden Books in my home. However, this one is just STUNNING. I'm a big fan of Taylor (obviously) but was really enamored by how beautiful the pages are. I was so excited to read this lil' biography with my son and teach him a little more about someone I adore. (Which it does a great job of doing in a pared down way!) It's a short book, looks cute on my desk, and is a hit for bedtime story time. What more could you want???"

    Get it from Amazon for $4.78+ or from Bookshop (to support local booksellers) for $5.57.

    20. Cocokind's vegan matcha-infused moisture stick you can use pretty much anywhere — under-eyes, lips, and dry spots all over your bod. It's made with caffeine-rich matcha (read: for antioxidants and reduced puffiness) and super-moisturizing coconut oil, so get ready to start using this as liberally as the dad in My Big Fat Greek Wedding uses Windex.

    Check it out on TikTok. Cocokind is a San Francisco-based, woman-owned small biz.

    Promising review: "This is my first time using the MyMatcha stick and I looovvveee it! I have it on me pretty much all the time so I can dab a little bit on my dry spots as I need to. It softens up my dry areas and even decreases the swelling of my acne! I've used it as a moisture stick, an acne anti-inflammatory, and even a fly-away tamer. It's a great multitasking product." —alizza d.

    Get it from Cocokind for $9 or Amazon for $8.98.

    21. A 360-degree adjustable, USB-rechargeable lemon desk lamp with three brightness settings and a design you can citrus-t to literally and figuratively bring a little lightness to dreary days or late-night study sessions.

    You can plug it in or run it for up to three hours on a charged battery.

    Promising review: "I got this light because I didn't want the overheads on when I was reading books to my child. It provides enough light to read by. Additionally, I got it for power outage situations, so that we can still read books, and the light source is more pleasing than that of a flashlight or lantern. Very happy with it." —Miss Ms K

    Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (available in three styles).

    22. A handy dandy PopSockets Wallet so you can hold three to five cards right on your precious device *and* get a better grip as you snap pics and scroll the 'Gram. Plus, you can customize it by swapping out the PopSocket design!

    Promising review: "Important things are never forgotten. I leave my wallet or purse behind a lot. I know I should have my license on me when I drive even if it’s a short distance, but taking such large things with me is just annoying. I always have my phone on me though, and so I had to get this. I comfortably fit my license and two cards in it. I never have to worry about going somewhere that doesn’t take Apple Pay, or needing my ID and not having it. As long as I have my phone, I know I have those. It’s easy to remove for wireless charging, and the PopSocket makes me feel so much more secure when using my phone in bed or when taking photos!" —Julia

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in eight colors). There are also ridiculously cute Disney versions here!

    23. A hilariously accurate enamel pin for anyone who loves scented candles almost as much as days when they don't need to take Advil.

    Get it from Melissaka Art on Etsy for $3.50.

    24. A set of magnetic air fryer cheat sheets with recommended times and temps for tonssssss of foods, from veggies to frozen goods to seafood to meat. Cooking with your most convenient and beloved appliance just got even easier 👏.

    Promising review: "I've gone through a few of these, and it always seems like they're missing some piece of information on at least some of the items that they have on these magnetic things. Finally, this one has everything I need. All the info I need to cook correctly is right there. The food item, the amount or weight, frozen or unfrozen, quick release or natural release, and everything else I need. It also includes food items I don't always find everywhere else which I enjoy as well. Definitely a good purchase and worth the money." —Kindle Customer

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $7.95+ (available in two colors and in Spanish).

    25. A trio of glow-in-the-dark ear cuffs perfect for a Halloween party (or really any party) to add a standout spooky vibe to your ear stack.
