50+ Amazon Items That Won't Break the Bank This New Year

Whether you want to look like you're wearing false eyelashes or you just want to pump up the length and the volume without paying an arm and a leg, this mascara will get the job done. At under $15 for three (3!) tubes, you'll be in the thick of it (lashes, that is) for months to come.

e.l.f. products are super popular for a reason, and this lip gloss is Amazon's top-selling lip gloss. It's SO affordable, and it's vegan and cruelty-free, so you can feel good about using it. Plus, it drenches and conditions your lips while leaving them lightly tinted and glossy.

Any time a product has over 340,000 glowing reviews on Amazon, you know it's a good one! And these hotel-quality sheets are so affordable, but people love them. The microfiber sheets have an extra-deep pocket, so they'll fit on most mattresses, and they're so stinking soft that they feel like the height of luxury.

That's right, you heard us. Get 10 hours of balmazing lip shine and hydration with just one swipe of this lip balm treatment. At under $10, it's a hydrating, long-lasting lip treatment you'll want to get again and again.

I love this milk frother for making barista-level drinks in the comfort of my home, but it has another purpose, too! I use it to make warm, foamy milk for my kids, and they think it's the most amazing thing. They get a calcium boost, and I get to have fun whipping up drinks — everyone wins!

For less than $10, this may be the best pill organizer on Amazon. Designed to hold large quantities of pills, this set of seven cases feature morning, noon, evening, and bedtime compartments for each day, and the portable size of each tray makes carrying your medication with you a problem-free breeze.

These cleaning brushes are custom-designed to keep your window sills and window tracks spotlessly clean. The narrow brush fits perfectly into grooves, sweeping out dirt, dead bugs, and whatever else might build up in there. Best of all, there's a scraper on the handle to get up stubborn, stuck-on dirt. Keep your car road trip ready with this unbelievably handy item.

This is another one of those cheap-yet-genius upgrades I wish we'd made ten years ago. The Tubshroom sits in your drain and catches all hair before it can wash down into your pipes, eventually leading to an expensive (and disgusting) clog problem. I haven't had to call the plumber once since we started using it, and between two adults, a long-haired kiddo, and a dog, this things gets a lot of use! -Chris S.

I've been dermaplaning at home for years, and it is a must-do form of exfoliation in my skincare routine, but I never realized Kitsch made facial razors for that before. I have so many Kitsch products in my home so I knew right away that their dermaplaning tools were going to be a big upgrade from the poor quality ones I bought in bulk. The ones from Kitsch don't pull at my skin or, even worse, break while in the middle of using (it's happened to me a lot) so you don't accidentally cut your face open because they are built for quality (I may or may not have knicked my eyebrows doing this in the past). These really make a difference in my skin's brightness and absorption of products. -Laura W.

Our front-loading washing is easy on my back, but awful on my nose, and I was getting sick of being greeted by that mildew-y smell every time I opened a freshly-washed load of laundry. I found these inexpensive tablets and gave them a try and boom — the washer's as clean as new, the mildew smell is gone, and my clothes are even cleaner than usual. A great little problem-solving find on the cheap.

Love this serum! My dermatologist recommended that I start using vitamin C as part of a daily anti-aging regimen and to even my skin tone. I had been using a popular drugstore brand for a couple of months, and it left my skin a bit oily. This TruSkin serum has a thicker consistency, and it does not have the yellowish color that I have found in other brands. My skin looks brighter after applying it, and it pairs well with a good SPF moisturizer. Would definitely recommend it over some other products I have tried for 2-3 times the price. - Andrea R.

A chisel-tip highlighter is great for standard print sizes, but it's just way too cumbersome when you're dealing with fine print. Where have these sharpenable gel highlighters been all our lives? We love that you can sharpen them to the exact size you need — perfect for tiny details. Add in that they don't bleed through the paper, and we're in office supply heaven.

Sure, he looks like a little guy hanging out in a tea hot tub, but there's more to Mr. Tea than that. As his name implies, he's holding loose-leaf tea (in his pants), and he's steeping as if his life depended on it. How could he not wind up in a tea lover's kitchen?

Crusty, dry, callused, and cracked feet are a fact of life for many of us, but they don't have to be! These incredibly popular foot peels help to gently and quickly remove layers of dry, dead skin from your feet, leaving them supple and baby-soft — after some very satisfying bouts of peeling, of course. Check out the more than 6,000 glowing reviews (and hundreds of satisfyingly gross reviewer photos) to see what the peeling process looks like. - Amaia Z.

The right hairbrush is essential for good hair and scalp health, but keeping your brush clean is just as vital. Thankfully, solutions like this 2-in-1 cleaner tool exist to effectively remove stray hairs and clear away all dirt, debris, and product gunk that tends to build up over time, keeping every type of bristle looking as good as new.

This high-powered electric spin scrubber is unlike the smaller, hand-held options you've seen all over TikTok. Not only is it more powerful, it also extends so you can clean standing up (no back-breaking stooping here). With 90 minutes of scrub time per charge and three swappable cleaning heads, you can get your grout, tub, floors, and baseboards sparkling clean with minimal effort.

As someone who gets deep, painful heel cracks in the winter, this heel cream is a lifesaver. I spend three-quarters of the year in flip-flops, and this cream not only gets rid of my painful heel cracks, but it keeps my feet soft, pretty, and sandals-ready. My feet feel and look better after about a week of use. - Karen F.

I love the clean, minimalist appearance of this soap dispenser set, and I like how it can help you eliminate single-use plastics in your bathroom and kitchen. It's refillable and reusable, and the set has a clean, modern aesthetic. The bamboo tray holds the soap dispensers and catches drips, and simple, waterproof labels let you know exactly what you're dispensing.

A matte face is having its moment in the sun, and I'm all about anything that helps you achieve a velvety, flawless look. But I also recognize that everyone is human, and matte makeup can get a little sheeny. So naturally, I love these green tea blotting papers. With just a few effortless pats, it'll get rid of shine and bring back the matte for a flawless finish all day long.

I love a glass of red wine, but pouring myself some is usually a last-minute decision. And with many red wines that contain a lot of tannins, you can't really grab a glass on a whim because the wine needs to breathe for a while to soften the tannins. But this wine aerator saves you breathing time because it adds air to the wine as you pour it. It's the perfect tool for last-minute wine drinkers like me who are too impatient to wait for the wine to breathe.

I've never added anything to my cart as quickly as I did this guacamole saver. I love guac so much that I always make a ton, so I typically have leftovers. And while I have a complicated system of multiple layers of plastic wrap that usually (but not always) works to keep it from browning in the fridge overnight, this guac saver is so much better of an idea. It creates the perfect airtight seal to keep your guacamole from browning without wasting so much plastic. Consider my world guac'd!

Renters and homeowners who don't want to wreck the walls but need more hanging space, this is the product for you. These adhesive hooks hold up to 20 pounds, they're super attractive, and you can stick them anywhere you need some extra hanging space — from coat closets to your bathroom.

We have a year-round resident population of hummingbirds that feed at our feeders. And while I've gotten to know a lot of them, it's super fun to be able to get up close and personal with this hummingbird feeder with a camera. It's super easy to set up, and I love that the app allows me to peep at the hummingbirds on my phone — especially during the winter when I don't want to hang out in the cold and rain to watch them come around. This makes a great gift for any nature lover. - Karen F.

We hate it when we're peeling potatoes and the peeler jams. Worse, a dull peeler can make any task into an annoying chore.

Waking up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom is already disruptive, and it's way worse if you need to stumble around in the dark or turn on a bright overhead light. This toilet light solves the problem by illuminating just the toilet. It fits easily under the seat and is activated with a motion sensor. Where was this invention when our kids were tiny?

For too long, I thought a pillow was just a pillow, so I grabbed whatever was cheap at a big box store. Then I got good pillows and realized that I suddenly started sleeping better and woke up without weird neck stiffness. I just got a set of these pillows, and I’m loving them already. I’m a side sleeper, and they give me great support. I’ve spent a lot more on pillows in the past, but these hang with anything I’ve tried.

A cozy throw blanket is a must for chilly evenings (or anytime), but they aren't all created equal. We're all about this super soft, plush faux fur throw blanket that gives so much comfort and style at the same time. It's luxurious and lovely and fits right in with your decor.

We've all got that box of baking soda in the back of the fridge, but it needs replacing every few months and doesn't always tackle those tough odors effectively. This refrigerator deodorizer is a major upgrade. It lasts for ten years! That means less waste and wear on the planet and a fridge that smells great for a decade.

At my house, we have a little bit of an outdoor walk from the garage to the house. It's fine during the daylight, but at night, we need some light so we can see where we're going. We bought a few packs of these solar lights, and they're the perfect amount of light. Plus, they're super easy to install, and they look cute lining the path along the front of our house. - Karen F.

As a child of the 70s and 80s, I'm well aware of how difficult the hard curlers our moms and grandmas used to put in our hair made it to sleep. But this soft curling headband from Ktisch is a great way to sleep soundly and wake up with gorgeous curls. Protect your hair from excessive heat styling, sleep on the perfect 'do, and wake up with gorgeous curls after a good night of sleep.

We understand why there's a gap at the bottom of every door (it's so cats can reach under it when you're on one side and they're on the other), but those gaps allow drafts and noise to make their way into your house. So, drafts, noise, and cats hate this one hack...but you'll love it. It's a door stopper that covers the gap while still allowing the door to easily open and close. It seals off the gap so that noise and cold stay outside (with the bonus of keeping crafty bugs out, too). Sure, your cats will have to find another door to reach under, but there's always the bathroom.

This cleaning line is absolutely amazing. Every product worked great on the job intended. The scrubbers hold up well. The toilet bowl foam worked as intended. My only complaint would be the cream cleaner left a slight film on shower glass, maybe that wasn't intended to be used there, will try the spray there next time. Overall, I highly recommend this product for a clean and sparkly house. - Kristen G.
