40 Clever Products On Amazon That Are Cute & All Cost Less Than $5

JAD Big Notebook, $5, Amazon

This notebook doesn't take itself too seriously, and that's a good thing. The front and back covers are reminiscent of bored-in-high-school-biology-class worthy scribbles and illustrations (UFO's and robots, anyone?). The notebook is a standard size and comes with 106 lined pages for you to jot down class notes, dreams, and to-do lists.

Poo-Pourri Travel Toilet Spray, $5, Amazon

Poo-Pourri toilet spray is pretty ingenious — instead of masking any smells, it actually traps them below the surface of the water before they have a chance to escape. Just spritz a few times in the toilet bowl before you go. The spray is made with botanicals instead of chemicals, and the travel size is very discreet —about the size of a lipstick. This one smells pleasantly like citrus, too, and won't harm the septic system.

Maybelline Baby Skin Primer, $4, Amazon

For anyone who wants to minimize the appearance of pores and have a smooth foundation application, there's this pore eraser by Maybelline. The lightweight formula also helps give your skin a more even, matte finish. The pore eraser is fragrance-free and non-comedogenic — and you can even use it alone without makeup.

You love cute things and you're constantly losing your phone around the house. Good news: this panda phone holder is for you.

There's no such thing as an endless summer, but this watermelon coin purse can remind you of long, carefree afternoons cooking out in the backyard with your friends.

Worform Ring Phone Holder, $4, Amazon

These bows don't just add a charming flourish to your phone — they also double as ring phone holders.

The ring attaches to the back of your phone with adhesive, and flips down to lie flat when not in use.

MYEDO Makeup Sponge Holder, $3, Amazon

This makeup sponge holder is more practical than it might seem. Storing your sponges in unventilated drawers or makeup bags can set the stage for bacterial growth — and you definitely don't want that stuff going on your face. (Hello, bacteria!) Luckily, you can keep your sponge in one of these holders instead. Exposing it to the air will ensure the sponge dries out quickly —and hygienically, too.

Walmeck Scalp Massage Hair Brush, $4, Amazon

The relaxation that comes with a good scalp massage cannot be overstated, which is why you need this scalp massage hair brush.

Give your cooking a romantic twist with these rose-edged pot holders. They're non-slip and heat-resistant, so they'll protect your counter when you're setting down hot pots and kettles. You can also use them as spoon rests while you're sautéeing veggies or cooking up a red sauce, too.

Prepworks Jar Grips, $4 (3 Pack), Amazon

Forget about holding a jar under warm running water. The best way to pry off stubborn lids is with one of these jar grips. The rubber material firmly grips the edges of the lid while giving your hand the traction it needs to unscrew. The set comes with two flat grips for opening big jars, and a cone grip for opening smaller jars.

ADS Amtopsell Phone Stand, $3, Amazon

You don't realize how handy a phone stand is until you actually have one. Set it up on the kitchen counter when you're learning a new recipe or go hands-free when you're FaceTiming.

I'm endlessly in search for items that help cut down on clutter and free up space, so I'm very on board with this bathroom hook.

MYEDO Splash Barrier, $5, Amazon

The worst part of doing dishes is walking away from the sink with a soaking, sudsed-up shirt. This panda bear splash barrier will keep you dry while you're scrubbing those pots and pans.

Blazers18 Zebra Makeup Bag, $3, Amazon

This zebra print makeup bag isn't just fun, it's also super practical.

Mr. Pumice Purple Pumi Bar, $4, Amazon

A good pumice stone is perhaps the most reliable way to get rid of callouses and rough skin on your toes, heels, and elbows. This pumice stone can be used both wet and dry skin, and it's extra-coarse so it'll give you top-notch exfoliation. The small particles of the pumice wear away with use, which means you won't get any unsanitary skin cell buildup on the stone.

Plus it's super lightweight, so it won't weigh your bag down further.

Nite Ize Reusable Twist Ties, $3 (4 Pack), Amazon

Twist ties have a myriad of uses — like organizing cables, keeping your earphone cords untangled, or closing up snack bags so they don't spill all over your car. Most twist ties, though, are one-and-done, which feels kind of wasteful. Try these reusable twist ties instead. Made from rubber with a bendable wire interior, these twist ties are durable, waterproof, and can wrap around just about anything.

Meridian Electric Flower Power Nightlight, $4, Amazon

This whimsical nightlight will bring out your inner flower child. Powered by an LED bulb, the light comes on automatically once it gets dark.

Plug it into the wall and dream of flower-filled gardens.

NiceWave Strainer, $2, Amazon

This ingenious strainer frees up your hands like a pro. Clip it on to the rim of any bowl or pot and tip over to drain off any excess water.

GLFYOU Citrus Peelers, $4 (6 Pack), Amazon

Peeling oranges and grapefruits can be juicy, sticky business, but a citrus peeler streamlines the process. Just score around the perimeter of the fruit and you can peel the skin off — pith and all. You can also use the rectangular end to peel off small sections if you're just looking for a little zest. This reviewer writes: "By far one of the best kitchen gadgets ever created! So simple, yes so perfect. Great to add to a simple gift or fruit basket!"

Kikkerland Kitchen Timer, $5, Amazon

The kitty kitchen timer is the next best thing to having an actual cat tell you that your cookies are done baking. Just turn clockwise to the 60-minute mark, then counter-clockwise to set the time. When the time is up, it'll ring a bell. (No, it doesn't meow.) And if you're not a cat person, check out the mouse, penguin, hedgehog, owl, or ladybug.

Joie Toaster Rack Puller, $4, Amazon

You know how easy it is to burn yourself when trying to pull out the tiny trays in a toaster oven? This toaster rack puller can help you avoid that — just hook it over the edge of the rack and pull. Made from silicone, the puller is heat-resistant up to 536 degrees and dishwasher-safe (I mean, you're bound to get melted cheese on it at some, point, right?).

Kikkerland Bag Clips, $4 (6 Pack), Amazon

Normally I wouldn't trust forest creatures with my snacks (they have a reputation for stealing nuts), but I'd make an exception for these ultra-cute bag clips. Each clip helps seal bags up tight, and has a mascot animal, like a fox, a chipmunk, or a hedgehog. Use them to keep your favorite chipotle potato chips from going stale.

S & T Makeup Remover Cloths, $3 (3 Pack), Amazon

These makeup remover cloths are reusable, making them a more environmentally-friendly option than disposable cloths.

Sothread Reusable Lunch Bag, $4, Amazon

This reusable lunch bag looks like it came straight out of a fancy boutique. The bag's flat bottom helps ensure that it won't tip over during your commute, but the interior is easy to wipe down in case your capellini pomodoro ends up spilling just the same. The canvas bag has durable handles, a zipper closure, and is thermal-insulated.

OXO Good Grips Vegetable Brush, $5, Amazon

A quick rinse in the sink doesn't always cut it when you're cleaning your veggies, especially if you're dealing with root vegetables or a potato with lots of nooks and crannies. This vegetable brush will scrub any residual dirt with its stiff but flexible bristles. And when you're done using it —you can put it in the dishwasher.

Umbra Tissue Box Cover, $5, Amazon

Let's be honest. Most tissue box designs could use a little... updating. Instead of searching for something halfway decent, just use this tissue box cover. It's delightfully shaped like a house, and dispenses your tissues so they look like smoke working its way out of a chimney. The cover fits easily over standard cube-shaped tissue boxes.

CHYL False Eyelash Applicator, $5, Amazon

Applying false eyelashes is an art that can take years to perfect. Using old-fashioned tweezers can help, but I'm personally not a fan of putting sharp, angled instruments that close to my eye. This false eyelash applicator features a flat, blunt edge that's much less intimidating, and the curve of the applicator can help guide you to more accurate lash placement.

e.l.f. Lip Primer and Plumper, $3, Amazon

Lipstick aficionados know the value of a good lip primer. Swipe it on before applying lipstick, and you'll be sipping coffee in the afternoon with your bright red still intact.

These exfoliating washcloths are a staple of Korean skincare and they'll leave you with baby-smooth skin. Just slip your hand into the pocket of the cloth and scrub to your heart's delight. The cloths are on the abrasive side, and reviewers advise that they're best used on the body — not the face (despite what the illustration on the package might communicate).

OXO Good Grips Squeeze Bottle, $5, Amazon

The downside of making a salad and bringing it to work? All that lettuce is soggy by the time lunch rolls around.

Made from silicone, it can be thrown in the dishwasher at the end of the day.
