Utopia Duvet Insert

Over 100,000 reviews don’t lie: this affordable duvet insert is a must for your Amazon cart. What’s not to love? Its box stitching keeps the fill even—no lumpy corners—and the corner tabs ensure the comforter stays in place within a duvet cover.

Vanity Makeup Mirror

This mini vanity mirror has a sleek, streamlined design with three-times magnification on one side—ideal for perfecting your makeup or examining your pores—and a regular mirror on the other, so you won’t get too caught up in your blackheads. Its 360-degree rotation lets you swivel it to the perfect angle to spot that stray hair too.

Fabric Shaver and Lint Remover

You know you’ve reached a certain stage of adulthood when purchasing a fabric shaver excites you. Don’t worry, you’re in good company. This budget-friendly option costs just $11 and will bring your winter wardrobe, blankets, bed sheets, and upholstery back to life in just minutes. Goodbye, pills. So long, lint. Hello, affordable Amazon gem.

Pink Pampas Grass

Whenever a room is missing a certain finishing touch, try adding a vase full of pampas grass, like this oh-so-affordable option from Amazon. It’ll instantly add a shock of color and texture to your living room or entryway.

We’re partial to this trio of pink, blush, and cream grasses, but no need to stop your “add to cart” fingers from continuing to click. This pampas grass is available in many color options, including lavender, indigo, and autumn-worthy oranges.

Silent Wall Clock

Realizing you’re late for your morning meeting will feel a little frantic when you notice the minutes ticking away on this mod wall clock. You won’t hear them ticking though—this clock has silent sweep movement, so it promises not to bother your concentration or sleep cycle.

It comes in a variety of colors (white, black, gray, and navy) as well as four sizes (10, 12, 14, and 16 inches) so you can achieve the perfect look for your kitchen, home office, teen’s bedroom, or wherever. It’s an easy fit into any space and style.

Wall Outlet Shelf

Add this wall outlet shelf to your list of “things you didn’t know you needed.” For just $12, you can replace any traditional outlet cover with this handy-dandy one topped with a little shelf. Installation couldn’t be easier, either—charging small electronics has never been more convenient. 

Sandstone Resin Thinker Statue

No need to think as hard as this sandstone statue is. This abstract sculpture—just $12—is a no-brainer “add to cart” decision. It’s available in different neutral hues and positions, so you can arrange a scene with several different ones, or stock up on a few to keep on hand as housewarming gifts. Place a dried flower in its arms for an effortless look that costs nearly nothing.

Moka Pot Espresso Maker

Make your morning coffee like the Italians do. For just $15, you can add a three-cup moka pot to your Amazon cart, or the eight-cup option costs just under $30. The stovetop espresso maker brews coffee by passing boiling water pressurized through ground beans, making a perfectly strong cup to start your day. Buon giorno, indeed.

Ceramic Food Storage Jar

“Food storage” and “stylish” rarely make their way into the same sentence. That is, unless you’re talking about OXO products, like these airtight containers, perfect for sugar and spice and everything nice. Mix and match a slew of sizes, whether for coffee beans or tea leaves, in both black and white for a chic-as-can-be pantry situation.

Tabletop Wine Rack

We can’t all be lucky enough to have a wine fridge or cellar. For those of us with a surplus of bottles and a lack of storage, add this compact and sturdy wine rack to your Amazon cart. It’ll hold up to seven bottles of Pinot and Merlot as well as two bottles of champagne on top. Hint, hint: this rack makes for an easy and affordable housewarming gift too.
