    The Joy-To-Cost Ratio Of These 31 Products Justifies You Buying Them

    IDK what brings more joy, these products or their cheap price tag. Probably both.

    1. An in-flight foot hammock to make your economy seat feel a bit more like business class. It attaches directly to your tray table and offers a cozy resting spot for your feetsies, keeping them elevated and helping prevent swelling and soreness.

    Promising review: "I used this recently on an overnight flight to Europe. Definitely made me more comfortable to have my feet elevated off the floor (I'm 5'3"). It could have been a little wider (I have small size 7 feet). But it was ample enough and compact to travel with. It did not bother the person in front of me (I had it attached to my tray table). Glad I made the purchase, definitely felt like it gave my legs some relief." —daydoo72

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four colors).

    2. A 2-in-1 mascara and strengthening serum so you can coat every. single. lash. No more contorting your arm and tilting your head to the back and the side, thanks to this mascara's adjustable wand. Just twist the wand to your desired curve!

    Promising review: "This product is so universal, it works on all types of lashes. The finish is so nice, lengthening and volumizing, and DOESN'T CLUMP. And on top it’s a lash serum and tubing mascara! Daily essential." —K. Ali

    Get it from Amazon for $30.

    3. And a mascara remover you can use at the end of the day because it'll lift even the most stubborn waterproof formulas with ease. You apply it just like mascara!

    This stuff is MAGICAL. I have stick-straight Asian lashes that refuse to hold a curl with wetter mascara formulas. As a result, I have to use waterproof mascara, which is a total pain to remove at night. Instead of rubbing my eyes raw with makeup removers that burn, I apply this like mascara, let it sit for a few minutes, and my waterproof mascara MELTS. Then I go in with a micellar water–soaked cotton pad, and my mascara is gone in 1–2 passes.

    Promising review: "I was skeptical because I have always struggled with removing waterproof mascara 100% on the first wash/wipe. I applied it to both my lashes and then immediately washed my face with my normal cleanser and I felt nothing on my lashes! Like I never applied anything to them. I am amazed and in shock still from this magical formula and invention! Best creation ever!" —Chrisy

    Get it from Amazon for $10.99.

    4. granny square crochet top for warm, beachy vibes even in the middle of winter.

    P.S. Reviewers whose usual size is medium and large say this top fits perfectly.

    Promising reviews: "SUPER CUTE! I loved this shirt. Will need covers if you choose not to wear a bra, which is the route I went. It’s light and good quality. Loose fitted." —Keynna

    "I wore this over a black shirt, and it was really fun. One size fits all, so it hung loose, but I like it. Seems well made. It is not firm fitting, which suited me fine." —SC

    Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in one size [fits sizes S–L] and in seven colors).

    5. Chicken vs Hotdog if you're looking for a party game that both kids and adults will enjoy. It's easy to learn (like, literally, 10 seconds to learn) and offers 30 challenges of varying levels.

    Promising review: "In an age where new games are being released at an incredible rate, it's refreshing to find a new game that is not only fun but easy to learn and play. My 7-year-old loves it, as do I. It only took us a couple of turns to figure it out. I highly recommend it. Adults should have fun with it, too. Might I recommend a couple of shot glasses to go along with it?" —Jerry Rice

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

    6. Some shakers of Bojangle's seasoning that'll probably end up becoming your most-reached-for spice blend. There's a reason this mouthwatering mix is chained up at the restaurant so you can't steal it!

    Promising review: "Can't be without it. My husband uses this on everything...mac ’n’ cheese, eggs, burgers, fries, baked potatoes, everything." —ALF

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.

    7. A reviewer-loved hair and body mist with notes of vanilla, salted caramel, and pistachio to make you smell like you just walked off a sunny beach in Brazil.

    Promising reviews: "If I could give this more stars I would!!" —Timothy Pilkington

    "I have smelled [Cheirosa '62] on other women in public and have been too scared to ask what it was they were wearing. I bought this on a whim on the Prime Day sale and was FLOORED. It’s equal parts summer/beachy with an almost coconut vanilla essence but also gives cozy fall vibes as well. I can’t stop smelling my own hair, this stuff is amazing." —Caralina Casperson

    Get it from Amazon for $24 (available in five scents).

    8. Or a pocket-sized rollerball perfume oil so you can smell expensive for a delightfully low price. Reviewers describe the smell as freshly baked cookies and vanilla *drool* without being overly sweet.

    Promising review: "This fragrance is worth the hype. It is musky but sweet-smelling as well. It is paired well with amber, vanilla, carmel, etc. — any bakery scents. It is great for people who want to smell sweet, but not like B&BWs–type sweet. For the price point, it is great. Plus, the smell lasts a long time. I get compliments throughout the whole day." —Chelsea Archer

    Get it from Amazon for $5.08.

    9. A pair of ultra-comfy and cozy crossover flare leggings because your current crusty, dusty, and pilling pair of leggings are begging you to give them a break.

    Promising review: "These are the comfiest pants. I usually buy big baggy sweatpants because I hate the tight cinching around my stomach from leggings or other tight pants. But the sweats are not as cute and don’t give you the nice booty visual. I hesitantly bought these pants because the reviews raved about how comfy they were, and the reviews were absolutely right! These are tight around my waist, but not in a way that’s uncomfortable at all. They sit nicely. They’re only 'tight' in that they have good tummy control and give you a nice waist. They also give you a bangin' booty, whether you have one or not! Highly recommend this product. Good price for the quality." —Sarah

    Get them from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL, three inseam lengths, and 23 colors).

    10. A buildable froggie desk companion for the chronic procrastinator who could use a gentle reminder that there are emails that require their response. No, now is not the time for a 30-minute TikTok break.

    11. Some fuzzy hand towels shaped like hedgehogs if your bathroom is seriously lacking in ~quill-ity~ decor.

    Promising review: "Not only do these towels effectively dry your hands, they add a touch of whimsy to your decor. They are great for small bathrooms with limited space." —Lisa Naegele

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $16.99 (available in four colors).

    12. A bendable neck light that'll illuminate late-night reads, knitting and crochet projects (reviewers say it's really helpful when using black yarn!), puzzle sessions, and TV watching. Say no to ambience-ruining overhead lights!

    Promising review: "I love to crochet at night when my husband and I are watching TV or sitting in the living room. We don't like bright light when we are watching TV. Using this, we can have dim lighting, and I have bright lights on my stitches! For the first time, I can crochet while watching a movie! I find it takes the eye strain out of crocheting at night. The settings provide a good range depending on your preference. It is so lightweight that I forget I have it on. The battery lasts me several evenings, and I just recharge it by keeping it plugged into the USB during the day. Amazing quality of life improver!" —Karen

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

    13. A ~supremely~ adorable pizza night-light to burn the midnight oil with ya. It offers just the right amount of light for late-night feeds, diaper changes, trips to the bathroom, and fending off scary monsters.

    14. Some cute silicone travel bottles so you don't have to fork over big bucks for travel-size versions of all your fave lotions and potions. And if that isn't enough to sell you on them, just LOOK AT HOW GOSH DARN ADORABLE THEY ARE.

    Promising review: "No leaks and easy to use and fill. The content names can be changed via the dial on the cap collar, but I don’t bother because the super cute soft silicone animal design indicates what’s in it for me." —C. Wilson

    Get a four-pack from Amazon for $16.99.

    15. A pack of half-pound Reese's Peanut Butter Cups because you're an absolute fiend for anything that involves peanut butter smothered in chocolate.

    Each pack comes with two 1/2-pound Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

    Promising review: "I ordered this for Valentine's Day for hubby because he looooooves Reese's Cups. They are his favorite candy. I was worried about freshness because while nothing is better than a fresh Reese's, nothing is worse than a stale one. However, this Reese's was fresh and delicious. The chocolate is very thick, which may or may not appeal to some, but there is a nice thick layer of the yummy peanut butter as well. Hubby enjoyed it so it's a win for me." —Tatanisha K. Howard

    Get them from Amazon for $14.31.

    16. A reparative K-beauty snail mucin essence for rejuvenating your face, lightening hyperpigmentation, and prepping your skin so it's ready to drink up all the benefits of your moisturizer.

    Promising review: "This stuff is incredible. I have suffered from minor acne for almost two years, and I finally realized the products I was using were far too harsh for my dry, sensitive skin. After using gentle products and eventually moving on to K-beauty, I found this to lighten all the scarring from the years of picking at my breakouts. My scarring is still a bit noticeable, but it has gotten tremendously better thanks to this product and this product alone." —Marc

    Get it from Amazon for $17.

    17. And a very appropriate headband if need another set of eyes to watch for any stray strands of hair while slathering your skin with slimes and serums. Now please tell me, is this a snail, slug, or alien headband?

    Promising review: "I love this SO MUCH. I embrace my inner snail every time I wash my face. It's soft but not too fluffy and thick. It has a nice stretch, but it's also not too loose where I feel like it's falling. Buy some for you and your snail friends :)" —sam

    Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in 11 colors).

    18. A preserved flower reed diffuser that'll make your home look and smell divine. You can customize the strength of the scent by adding or removing incense sticks.

    According to Johns Hopkins, you may want to avoid diffusing oils around larger groups and young children because of the side effects of different oils.

    Promising review: "I got this for my office. It’s so beautiful and compliments the aesthetic I have. The white jasmine is such a gorgeous scent. It’s subtle and not overpowering. I currently use three reeds, and it disburses just the right amount. I absolutely love this!" —Dana Caradonna

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in 2 sizes, 11 scents, and 6 flower styles).

    19. A reverse coloring book to get your creative juices flowing if traditional coloring books feel stale or aren't as relaxing as they once were. This coloring book is a bit different: The colors are already on the page — your job is to add the lines.

    another reviewer photo of a page filled with colorful circles, many of which have faces drawn on them

    Promising review: "This is definitely no coloring book. You can do so many things on each page and see different things each time. I did a couple like this one where I drew the faces and animals I saw — it can be similar to seeing things in clouds or the bathroom floor tiles. Or it can be a loose framework — I did a couple of pages where I made mechanical or botanical stuff. Many of the pages are obviously floral, but you can change them up any way you want. When I’ve drawn all the pages, I might get another copy and do them differently. There are also more books by the same author, so I might want them as well. I’ve never had so much fun doodling. It’s easy to get into the zone with this book." —Kathy G.

    Get it from Amazon for $9.90.

    20. A swimsuit with a built-in skirt so cute you'll "accidentally" lose your sun-bleached, super stretched-out one-piece. Oops! The straps are adjustable, and the padding is removable. And reviewers say the skirt is long enough to cover your butt if that's something you're looking for.

    Promising review: "I needed a swimsuit I could chase my two kids around in without worrying about exposure. Everything I’ve seen or tried so far has been more something my grandma would wear or just not really me. This is perfect! It’s adorable and totally my vibe! I can wear it without a cover-up because of the skirt (which actually covers everything I want covered!!). It is supportive and sucks you in, but super comfy! I feel like I can almost get away with wearing this around our little beach town as a dress. Going to buy more colors." —K&G

    Get it from Amazon for $38.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XXL, 18 Plus–22 Plus, and 36 colors/styles).

    21. A quirky sticker because it's a goddamn mood.

    Promising review: "All the varieties grew, and I was very impressed by how they stayed nice and neat when planted in a row. I used them to edge one side of my garden. Several strong storms came through this summer and didn’t break even one! They drew all types of pollinators: bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Stem cutting they did very well and can last up to a week." —Taryn Fellinger

I was curious when purchasing about quality, but they are easy to hold and sturdy, and we've used them consistently for a year or so now and have been impressed. I can attest that they are washable, which is also helpful with little hands involved! We loved them so much that we bought a second pack for our 1.5-year-old nephew. We are impressed!" —patrick thomas

    Amazon

    Promising review: "If you like the daily Murdle puzzle online or have always enjoyed word puzzles, this is for you. Fun way to relax and decrease screen time. I appreciate that it gets harder as you go because it allows the whole family to work on a puzzle if they want to. I’ve filled out the most, but others did some pages after video games lost their luster. Once finished, I will definitely purchase the second book. Takes me back to playing a certain board game as a kid, only this is much more humorous! Less candlesticks and more wit. I dig it." —Allons-y Geronimo

    Promising review: "Bought these and wore them the next weekend in Reno. They are so cute and comfortable! I walked over 18,000 steps in them and didn’t even have so much as a blister. I was really impressed by them so I ended up ordering two more colors. So glad I found these. A great [swap] for Tory Burch sandals." —c.bram
