(Or you can just cope by turning off autonomy on The Sims, you do you.)

35 Cheap Amazon Products Our Readers Are Loving In 2025
A grout pen to freshen up your stained or discolored grout because no matter how much you scrub, it never seems to go back to its original state. Plus, this pen is mold-resistant and covers up to 150 feet of grout area, so you can feel confident in your ability to complete this DIY project. A mini Bob Ross paint-by-numbers kit for anyone interested in creating gorgeous pieces of art, but who might not have the skills to create the full-size, completely DIY versions. This one comes with everything you need to paint three teensy tiny masterpieces. A foundation brush designed to blend both liquid and powder makeup to give you that flawless base. Reviewers love it because, unlike other brushes, it doesn't absorb (and waste!) half the product instead of blending it on your face. A deck of waterproof cards so you don't have to choose between a rousing game of hearts and taking a dip in the pool. Your card competition is gonna heat up while you still get to cool off. E.l.f.'s Pro Eyelash Curler to give you that gorgeous, dramatic curl that you desperately want, without having to apply layers upon layers of mascara. You are basically giving yourself a DIY lash lift at home for a *FRACTION* of the price. A set of pastel glitter highlighters because those neon ones are sooo 2020. These will give your planner, books, journals, and notes the added sparkle they deserve! A cute lil' insect catcher you can set up inside or outside to help stop fruit flies, gnats, mosquitoes, and more from invading your personal space. These are scentless, noiseless, and wayyy more affordable than those electric or liquid versions. A NeeDoh "Dream Drop," which is the ultimate ooey, gooey, squishable fidget toy you won't ever want to put down. It has a satisfying squish and slow rise that will help calm you down and focus on your work. A "Beverage Buddee" can cover you can pop on top of your soda, seltzer, or beer to help protect it from getting any bugs or debris in it. It'll also help slow down any spills if your can gets knocked over. A blister-preventing balm because there is nothing worse than going out for your hot girl walk just to end up getting another blister on your heel. JK there is — all that PLUS realizing you have to walk all the way back home. This balm will glide on to prevent friction, stopping a blister from even thinking about making an appearance. Promising review: "For someone who sweats A LOT, I can honestly tell you this product is genius. I always blister no matter what type of shoes I'm wearing in the summer. So far I've worn this under flats, sandals, and sneakers without socks! No blisters!!!! I only wish I knew about this product sooner!" —Ozone99Price: $8.99 E.l.f's Lash Xtndr Tubing Mascara which is super futuristic and ahhh-mazing for anyone with thin or fragile lashes. Instead of rubbing the living heck out of your eyes at the end of a long day ~desperately~ trying to get all the mascara off, this stuff just magically glides off in little tubes to save you all that struggle when you just wanna go to bed. An easy-to-apply one-hour (!!) self-tanner so you can get that perfect color before you even step foot in the sand. Which means, you'll already be looking like a local and don't have to risk actually tanning which can be bad for your skin. AND that means more time for splashing around in the waves!! 🌊 A copy of Burn After Writing, a guided journal with prompts to help you reflect deeply on yourself and your feelings with no pressure, because it's literally intended to be destroyed when you're finished. A set of satin pillowcases designed with your delicate skin and hair in mind. These will have you waking up refreshed and ~almost~ as put together as basically any character in a movie during those *I woke up like this* scenes. So no, you don't need to splurge on Slip, Kitsch, and Blissy. A set of limited edition wildflower Band-Aids to turn any boo-boos into something beautiful. When I was a kid I would pretend to get hurt just to get a Band-Aid (don't ask me why, I can't explain myself). But I did that for plain ones, imagine how many fake injuries I would've had if these existed!! A bottle of Nyx setting spray you can just spritz right on top of your makeup to protect all your hard work and prevent it from smudging or fading. 🙌🏼 A bug bite suction tool to help reduce itching and swelling by aiding in removing the irritant from the bite. If you don't find yourself needing this, consider yourself lucky and buy it for one of your friends who is just so sweet, all the bugs swarm to them. A stainless-steel tongue cleaner designed to scrape away your bad breath, but reviewers have also found that it helped them experience flavors more intensely! Squeaky clean mouth AND more flavorful food? Sign me up! The curved stainless steel will feel smooth against your tongue, removing bacteria without causing irritation. Promising review: "Besides its obvious purpose, this item is really fun to use! I also like the consequences; I get to see the 'stuff' on the metal piece when I scrape it, which tells me I'm taking crap off my tongue. And then my tongue also feels scraped, which makes me feel like I did something more than just some kind of toothpaste or mouthwash to generally keep my mouth clean (which hasn't worked before). I think the feeling of having done something specific to keep your mouth clean is an important aspect of having confidence in your breath. After having bad breath for a while, no matter whether my mouth is clean or not, I shy away from talking directly at people. But this helps remove some of my doubts." —AshleyPrice: $8.66 (also available in multipacks) A TikTok-beloved "Soft" perfume rollerball that somehow doesn't even cost $5?! Your new signature sweet scent with hints of citrus is by far the most affordable option you've tried yet! Since it's so affordable, go ahead and grab a few to keep in your bathroom, purse, car, cubicle, and wherever else you wanna smell delectable. Bounce anti-static spray perfect for taking on vacation to get all the wrinkles out of the clothes you balled up in your suitcase. No wrinkles AND your clothes won't do that gross clingy thing when they're super staticky?! Truly a must-have product. Promising review: "Bounce anti-static spray is my best friend during the cold winter months. I never have to worry about leaving the house and forgetting to spray because I purchased this small size, and I keep it in my car! It removes the static cling that can be embarrassing if your dress sticks to your bum. I plan to purchase additional bottles to leave in my office and other places." —ShugaMamaPrice: $6.05 A makeup brush-cleansing shampoo because no, your brush isn't actually brown, it's white. So yeah, you should prob grab a bottle and start cleaning those brushes you've had forever — who knows what kind of grime is lurking between those bristles. Or an eyeshadow color removal sponge so each color doesn't require its own brush because you're afraid to accidentally contaminate your gorgeous nude color with the hot pink you used yesterday. Just rub the brush on the sponge for a few seconds and watch the pigment disappear. And you can use both sides before taking it out to wash it for endless reusing. An adorable humidifier tank cleaner to help keep it clean all the time because truly does anyone actually remember to clean them out?! Now you can keep your room perfectly moist with clean air, instead of bacteria-infested air. A tinted lip balm extreeeeemely close to Clinique's TikTok beloved Black Honey but for *much* less. You're going to love the subtle, shiny effect it gives your lip. A roll of wood grain tape to easily, effortlessly, and ~affordably~ transform those boring, builder-grade mirrors into a more elegant version. This is a great option for renters or anyone who has some commitment issues. Promising review: "Where do I start? I absolutely LOVE this product. I wanted to replace our bathroom mirror, but due to the size, it would have cost a lot! I came across this on Amazon and decided to give it a try. The application process was super easy and applied without bubbles as long as you go slow and rub it down as you go. I kid you not. It looks like wood and feels like it, too! You can feel and see the 'wood grain.' It's absolutely stunning and looks like I bought a whole new mirror." —TaylorPrice: $7.59+ (available in two sizes) A delightfully affordable instant foot peeling spray you just spritz onto your foot, rub in circular motions, and unveil some baby soft feet unlike anything you've had in years. It's like a pedicure in a bottle, except you can get like 50 applications for less than a tenth of the price of one salon pedicure. A Lego cherry blossom building kit if you haven't been graced with a green thumb and don't want typical faux flowers. Plus, you get all the fun of building a new Lego set *and* you're supposed to display it when you're done, so no, your partner can't call you out for leaving it out all week. Promising review: "The Lego Cherry Blossom set is a true delight. The delicate pink petals and intricate design make it a standout in any space. Build is soothing and straightforward with clear instructions. The finished piece is a gorgeous, enduring piece perfect for gifting or blooming your Lego Botanical Collection!" —Nelson J. Acevedo AyalaPrice: $7.99 A limited edition (!!) Eos Marshmallow "Super Balm" lip treatment which tastes so delicious you wouldn't even care about the quality, but lucky for you, it's great for healing and moisturizing with cocoa, shea, and avocado butters. You're gonna wanna buy ~s'more~ while you can so you don't run out as soon as they stop selling this flavor. A lil' Stanley tape measurer keychain that may look like it's just a cutie little decoration for your key hook, but boy will it come in handy while you peruse TJMaxx and stumble upon the ~cutest~ end table and need to make sure it'll fit in your room. A suede and nubuck cleaning brush to diminish the look of the water stains you got when you forgot to check the weather before wearing your suede boots out. You don't even need any additional cleaners to bring them back to life. A multi-use blush stick that can basically create your full face of makeup by itself. 🤩 Use it on your eyes, lips, and cheeks to give you a perfect ~blushed~ look that won't melt away with sweat or water. Promising review: "Cute lil multi-tasker. Packaging is cute. The product is easy to use. It is a pretty pink color with a slight bit of sheen. Not glittery or sparkly, natural flush. Feels clean on my skin, not greasy. Used on eyes, lips, cheeks. Blends well. Don't overdue it. Product will probably last forever considering how little I had to use. My daughter said 'your skin looks great' before I mentioned I had tried it on. I'll take that as a win. Love this stick." —Dusty SelfPrice: $6.99 (available in three shades) A five-pack of anti-slip eyeglasses sleeves to help prevent behind-the-ear pain and the struggle of constantly pushing your glasses back into place. Lip Smacker Rolly Lip Gloss that seems eerily familiar to me... I'm not a huge makeup girly but just looking at this brings back memories from the early 2000s... I feel like I can even smell that yummy fruity flavor. What I'm sure I didn't know back then is how cooling it feels and that it'll leave your lips soft and hydrated. A set of 12 double-sided shower curtain hooks so you can easily hang the curtain and the liner without having to worry about doing it in the correct order. But don't let the name hinder your creativity, you can use these for jewelry, bags, towels, or whatever else you can think of. One reviewer even used it to hang homemade sausage (🥴 could never be me), so the options are truly endless!! Promising review: "These shower curtain hooks are so easy to use! I love that the inside liner and outside curtain have different hooks, which makes hanging them a breeze. I previously had hooks where you had to thread the liner first, then the curtain—and that was such a pain. With these, I hung both my shower curtain and liner in less than two minutes! I chose the silver ones to match my shower rod, and the color looks fantastic. Even after repeated uses, there are no scratches or blemishes on the hooks. Definitely a great buy if you want hassle-free installation and durable hooks!" —B. RamseyPrice: $7.99+ (available in 16 colors) Tree Hut Desert Haze Shea Sugar Scrub that is ~perpetually~ sold out all over the place, but is somehow magically available at your fingertips!! But let this be your warning, IDK how long it'll be around so I highly advise acting fast on this one. Reviewers are swooning over the smoky, floral that blends jasmine, raspberry, and musk. And if you aren't already sold, it'll also give you a much needed gentle exfoliation.
