1. A pack of makeup sponges that costs half the price of just one Beauty Blender!

A subscription to Money magazine for tips and inspiration to help you reach your financial goals. (4)

amazon.com

Promising Review: "I just got these little beauties today, and I am already planning on ordering another package! I bought a Beauty Blender sponge at Ulta. And these have the same exact shape and texture as a Beauty Blender. But they are a tiny bit larger — which is actually nice. Other than the size, I couldn't tell the difference between the expensive Ulta one and these five. You simply cannot go wrong with this pack. But do yourself a favor and order two sets!" —Marci Stock

Get the five-pack from Amazon for $10.99.

2. A set of car headrest hooks to hold your purse, grocery bags, and umbrella.

amazon.com

Promising Review: "I ordered one set of these and found them to be so sturdy that I ordered three more sets. Now I have a hook for each headrest rod in all of my vehicles. The hooks are perfect for purses, as well as packages. I like them much more than the storage pockets that hang on the back of your seats." —Cbart

Get the set from Amazon for $7.95.

3. A lip-exfoliating kit to make sure your pout stays hydrated at all times.

A subscription to Money magazine for tips and inspiration to help you reach your financial goals. (5)

amazon.com

Promising Review: "This kit is absolutely wonderful. The flavor is very mild and the consistency is creamy enough to get out easy. I got this to battle scratchy lips this winter. I'm using much less than I would have guessed I needed to soften my lips. It came in a small box and the lid easily screws on and off. I feel like it's appropriately priced for the amount of product and quality." —Mutsima

Get it from Amazon for $13.53.

4. A cozy mermaid blanket that will let you live out your dreams of becoming a magical sea creature.

amazon.com

Promising Review: "My sister-in-law has been asking me to get her a mermaid blanket for a long time now. The first time I saw this one, I fell in love with it. The colors catch your eye and they are vibrant. The size is perfect, and it's so soft. I hand washed it before I used it. I figured I would try it out before giving it to my sister-in-law! I like it so much that I'll have to order one for myself and my little girl." —Doris

Get it from Amazon for $23.59.

5. A K-cup carousel to keep your favorite Keurig beverages in perfect order.

A subscription to Money magazine for tips and inspiration to help you reach your financial goals. (6)

amazon.com

Promising Review: "After purchasing a new Keurig, the first thing I had to buy was a carousel to hold all of my K-cups. I went to Walmart, assuming they would be priced the cheapest. But I was wrong! The cheapest carousel I could find in the store was $25, which I thought was steep for this type of item. I found this on Amazon and read the reviews. And for $13, you can't go wrong! The K-cups fit perfectly and I am very satisfied with my purchase." —Stefani

Get it form Amazon for $18.99.

6. A wall calendar full of lovely Thomas Kinkade paintings of your favorite Disney characters.

amazon.com

Promising Review: "I've been purchasing these wall calendars for the last five years or so. They're always constructed well and are a nice size to easily read and admire. I love pretty much every Thomas Kinkade painting I've ever come across. And I get a warm and fuzzy feeling every time I look at my calendar. The paintings remind me to slow down and enjoy the simple pleasures in life." —Dr. Snaggle

Get it from Amazon for $6.95+. Available in a mini and full-size version.

7. The book The Art of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story— which is filled with gorgeous illustrations drawn by the Lucasfilm art department for the movie.

amazon.com

Promising Review: "Money is practical and easy to read for anyone new to personal finance topics. There are articles for each walk of life. And if you're at a point in your late 20s and early 30s that you are now thinking about kids and planning ahead for retirement, then this will cover everything you need to know to prepare for the future." —Melli

Get it from Amazon for $5.

9. A stylish scarf that can be used as a nursing poncho, carseat cover, or even an infinity scarf.

amazon.com

Promising Review: "I have yet to come across a more versatile nursing cover than this. I can't even call it a nursing cover because it does so much more than just that one task. I've used it to nurse, create a canopy while I change a dirty diaper on the fly, cover the carseat, shield a stroller from the sun, and I've worn it as a scarf as shown in the pictures. It can also be folded up and used as a burp rag in an emergency. It's made of nice soft material, and it's machine-washable." —Brandi Rivera

Get it from Amazon for $19.99. Available in three colors.

10. A pretty pack of washi tape you can use for endless creative projects.

amazon.com

Promising Review: "I've started keeping a bullet journal, and I bought these colorful tapes to decorate and design its pages. I just love the bright and cheery colors and styles. These tapes are worth the money!" —Toni M.

11. A portable spin dryer that is small enough to fit on your countertop.

A subscription to Money magazine for tips and inspiration to help you reach your financial goals. (8)

amazon.com

Promising Review: “I love this spinner! It's very well made, and works beautifully. It doesn't hold a lot — I had one full-size bath towel in it and that filled it. But it only took two minutes to dry, and the towel started out soaking wet! It wrung out beautifully. If the clothes are not quite balanced, it thumps around. But if you move the clothes a little bit, it smooths right out, and you can hardly tell it's running. I am very impressed.” —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $71.48.

12. A handy mop and broom organizer to keep your cleaning tools out of the way.

amazon.com

Promising Review: "This organizer is awesome. I was worried about it not being sturdy enough or the brooms and mops sliding down. But it's super stable! Nothing slides off and the objects are easily accessible. I screwed this into just drywall, and it is able to hold a broom, sweeper, mop, and car wash brush with no problem." —Jaco56

Get it from Amazon for $13.99.

13. A Magnasonic jewelry cleaner that uses ultrasonic energy waves to gently remove dirt from your necklaces, bracelets, rings, and other accessories.

amazon.com

Promising Review: "This cleaner works great with just a little water and cleaning solution. It really makes my diamonds sparkle. I'm really happy with the results, and I don't have to drive to a jewelry store to have my jewelry cleaned. After receiving it, I went crazy and cleaned all of my expensive jewelry in less than 10 minutes!" —Randy Jr.

Get it from Amazon for $29.99.

14. The book Learn Calligraphy: The Complete Book of Lettering and Design to take your handwriting to new levels.

Get it from Amazon for $10.99+. Available in Kindle, Paperback, and Spiral-Bound.

15. Full House: The Complete Series Collection for a walk down memory lane before checking out the new Fuller House season on Netflix!

amazon.com

Promising Review: "I love Full House so much! If you love the show too, then I suggest that you buy the DVD series. I have not had any problems with the discs in the set. Everything is perfect. And there are lots of extra features that come on the DVDs." —Drew Bender

Get it from Amazon for $44.96.

16. A show-stopping faux-fur steering wheel cover set that will make your car a true standout.

amazon.com

Promising Review: "I love my cover set so much! Someone broke in my car just to steal it, so I had to buy another one!" —Swynique Jones

Get the set from Amazon for $11.52+. Available in eight colors.

17. A pressure-mounted gate to help keep your little ones — or even your pets — safe and secure.

amazon.com / Via Walmart, amazon.com / Via Amazon/Nancy McMullen

Promising Review: "I had this gate assembled and working in less than 10 minutes. It is durable, strong, and fits my door opening perfectly. I have two five-month-old golden retrievers who destroyed the two wooden gates we had before I found this one. They can't chew through this gate or knock it down with brute force. I am completely satisfied with my purchase." —Nancy McMullen

Get it from Amazon for $32.

18. A minimal cubby shelf you can use to dress up your entryway.

A subscription to Money magazine for tips and inspiration to help you reach your financial goals. (9)

amazon.com

Promising Review: "This shelf was fairly easy to assemble. Just make sure you mount it on studs. All in all, it's worth the price. We can't wait to put it to great use. It definitely cleans up the entryway area." —Cora Paul

Get it from amazon or $68.68+. Available in three colors.

19. A gleaming Kate Spade New York pendant necklace you can personalize with an initial.

amazon.com

Promising Review: "I bought this for my wife with our newborn's initial so she'll always have a little reminder of him — especially when she goes back to work. She absolutely loves it. It looks great on her with any outfit." —Jeffrey R.

Get it from Amazon for $58.

20. An adorable Polaroid Snap instant camera that includes a built-in printer!

amazon.com

Promising Review: "This is by far my favorite camera to use. The picture quality gives a vintage feel, and the Zink paper is easy to install. The SD card saves your printed pics so you have a digital copy as well as a printed pic. It is really a lot of fun to use, and I love it!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $99.88. Available in six colors.
