Our Favorite Things Under $25 On Amazon That Are So Damn Bougie

Just because tech is utilitarian doesn’t mean it has to look that way — which is why the Elite Daily shopping team is obsessed with this pearl-inspired charging cable. This type-C cable works with Androids, newer models of iPhones, and multiple other devices, offering a fast, efficient charge. The reinforced connector helps prevent bending and fraying over time.

Elite Daily editor Lauren Beach is a fan of this Apple watch band, saying, “This is so much prettier than a standard band, and it's comfy, too.” Made from stretchy, braided nylon, it offers a flexible but snug fit, so you’ll still get all the health-monitoring benefits of your watch. Choose from an array of soft colors like smoky violet and cactus green, or opt for something bright like pink punch.

For the price of a cup of coffee, you can get this eyebrow pencil from cult-favorite makeup brand e.l.f. It provides results that look much more expensive, lifting and shaping the brow with its fine tip and spoolie brush. This just might be the cheapest shortcut to a put-together look.

Premium nail care doesn’t have to come at a premium price — and this cuticle oil pen proves it. It’s formulated with vitamin E and pineapple extract to add strength, moisture, and shine. Application is a breeze, thanks to the brush tip that lets you paint the formula right onto your nails.

Elite Daily editor Anna Anderson says, “I am loving the way this key chain takes an AirTag and dresses it up in something cute.” Reviewers agree, having awarded it an impressive 4.8-star overall rating after 1,600 reviews. Made from vegan leather, it comes in more than 50 styles, including a tangerine and a little green bird.

• Available styles: 50+

Beach is a fan of these clips that make it easy to tote your hat along. Made from crocheted cotton, they secure any hat to your backpack, suitcase, or beach bag. The intricate, beaded design makes them an artistic style statement, too.

Another bougie, budget-friendly beauty product we love is this “wake up” eye gel from Good Molecules. This gel is packed with skin-loving ingredients that give you a brighter, more well-rested look: yerba maté to provide antioxidants, caffeine to reduce puffiness, and three forms of hyaluronic acid to plump skin with moisture. The fragrance-free formula is vegan and cruelty free.

If you’re looking for an accessory upgrade, Beach loves these drop earrings, saying, “These earrings offer two looks in one and they look so much more expensive than they are.” The two loops unlink, so you can wear them as single oval hoops or as a double-decker set. They come in a variety of finishes as well as in options that include crystals and twisted hoops.

This mulberry silk pillowcase is the queen-like upgrade your bed needs. We love the budget-friendly price and the natural material, which is temperature regulating to keep you cool. Of course, the smooth material is also great for skin and hair, helping to reduce creases and breakage.

Editor Amy Biggart says, “I love stacking necklaces — they are the easiest jewelry to combine.” For an instant stack, opt for this three-piece layered necklace set plated in 14-karat gold. The necklaces are adjustable, but the overall length (a bit longer than a choker) is so timeless. The set comes in a variety of styles that include link chains, snake chains, and more.

Beach is a fan of these flameless candles, and so are the 12,000 Amazon reviewers who gave them a perfect five-star rating. The smoky gray glass brings instant sophistication, while the staggered heights make it easy to create a visually interesting arrangement. Use the remote control to adjust the brightness and set them on timers.

• Available styles: 8

When it comes to living bougie, even washing your hands can get an upgrade. Anderson like this soap dispenser, saying, “The embossed glass is so antiquey, and the foaming action? Even better.” That vintage vibe is offset in a lovely way with the sleek silver pump and the round design of the base.

Give your baubles a proper place when you’re on the road with this travel jewelry box. Available in two sizes (including the petite one pictured here), it’s made from soft velvet to prevent scratches. The gold-tone zipper is an elegant touch that also keeps thing secure.

No-shampoo days don’t have to mean no style. Put this gold-tone hair claw to work, which Anderson says “gives quick updos a sleek, statement-making twist.” The squiggly design feels playful yet elegant, but the listing also has other options, like a feather, a spiral, and a bow.

• Available styles: 23

Anderson says, “This jewelry dish looks like an antique that came out of a Paris flea market.” While this soft green lotus is a gorgeous pick, you can also choose from other styles in shades of pink, orchid, and blue. The small size is perfect for keeping your most frequently worn pieces at the ready without taking up lots of space.

Biggart says, “I always keep a few gold eye masks in my medicine cabinet for those days when I just need a little self care. They're great.” These masks are designed to help reduce puffiness and minimize the look of dark circles with just 20 minutes of wear. Use them for a self-care moment or before your next big interview.

Elite Daily editor Chelsey Conroy says, “I read a lot, and creating a cozy Kindle setup was genuinely life-changing. Curling up with my Kindle, a gooseneck tablet holder, and a remote page turner feels downright luxurious.” This remote page turner just might be the first step to upgrading your reading routine. The receiver clips to your e-reader so you can flip pages with just a press of the remote. It even doubles as a phone shutter, so you can take pictures with it, too.

Conroy is a big fan of this tablet holder with an adjustable gooseneck design that measures a full 34.6 inches — enough length to help you get the perfect angle. It clamps onto any flat surface (like your desk, end table, or bed frame) for a secure fit. The head of the holder rotates, so you can view your tablet in either portrait or landscape without having to remove and reposition.

Beach names this electric makeup brush cleaner among her favorite bougie things. The top has multiple cutouts to hold makeup brushes of all sizes — insert them, fill the basin with water or cleansing solution, then press the button to scrub the bristles. When you’re done, empty the basin and let the brushes hang dry.

If you spend a lot of time in your car, there’s no reason not to make it feel a little more luxe; start with this car console cover made from genuine sheepskin. Soft and fluffy, it provides a plush landing pad for your arm while you drive. It comes in a range of colors — just use the elastic strap to slip it over the console lid.

Nothing is more bougie than kitchen storage that makes sense — and that’s why this cooking tool holder is worth your consideration. Made from stainless steel, it has a rotating design and internal dividers that keep your utensils upright and easy to grab. Biggart says, “I just feel like this makes my whole kitchen counter space look more fancy.”

Biggart says, “I've recently become obsessed with chrome nail polish — it catches the light and looks so good.” If you’re after the look, check out this formula that offers salon-grade shine without an actual trip to the salon. It comes in several silvery shades and nourishes nails with botanical oils.

• Available shades: 4

We love car headrest hooks for the practical storage they bring (no more tipped-over purses or worse — takeout ramen). These hooks level things up a notch with their blingy crystals at the end. They’re popular on Amazon, where they’ve earned a 4.6-star overall rating after 33,000 reviews.

• Available styles: 12

Beach loves this marble phone stand and it’s easy to see why; the classic stone material adds some timeless appeal to your modern device. But it’s not just aesthetics we’re talking here; the unique cutout in the base is designed to naturally amplify the sound coming from your speaker, so you can hear music and calls better, all without hooking your device up to Bluetooth.

Biggart enthuses, “I've been using Turbie Twists for years,” adding, “There's nothing bougier to me than having a designated towel to dry my hair.” Made from microfiber, these towels soak up water faster than standard cotton and they cause less damage and frizz, too. Most ingeniously, the towels are designed with elastic loops, so you can easily wrap them around your head for out-of-the-way use.

Giving your lips definition is a cinch with this lip liner that promises not to budge, even when confronted by your Stanley. Infused with lecithin and vitamins E and C, it doesn’t just keep your lipstick from bleeding, but nourishes skin, too. It has a creamy, waterproof formula and won’t splinter when sharpened.

• Available shades: 11

Ready to give your workstation the Midas touch? Biggart says, “I just got a new desk setup and I've been buying bougie office supplies for it. This gold stapler and tape dispenser are perfect.” After all, work can be a drag... but it might as well be a fancy drag.

Nothing say bougie like an upgraded snack setup — and this acacia board can get you there. Biggart says, “I am a charcuterie afficionado, and I love having a nice board to lay out when friends come over. This one is super chic.” This handcrafted board features a handle for easy maneuvering. When you’re not using it for brie and salami, store it vertically on your kitchen counter as a decor accent.

Looking for an alternative to your standard water bottle? Biggart says, “This glass tumbler is heavy enough that it won't fall over — it feels really chic and I use it every day.” This tinted design is so sleek and the double-wall construction helps retain the cold or hot temperature of your drink. And despite the upgraded aesthetics, it still manages to be leakproof.

This rose gold mask make you look like a goddess while you’re wearing it — and you’ll look even more like a goddess when you take it off. The sparkly mask is formulated with collagen, rose hip oil, coconut, and aloe vera to help moisturize and firm the look of skin. And when you’re done wearing it, it peels right off.

Level up your makeup kit with this brush set that includes options for foundation, powder, contouring, and eyes. The color scheme is decidedly upscale (hello olive and burgundy), and so is the gray cloth case with a vegan leather strap. The bristles are made with dense, synthetic fibers while the handles are made from eco-friendly wood and aluminum.

“Low lighting really creates an atmosphere in my apartment, and I love these chic plug-in lights for your outlets,” says Biggart, pointing out that “they're dusk to dawn, too.” They also have sliding dimmers that let you adjust brightness and a warm glow that’s gentle on eyes. Not to mention, the ribbed, sconce-like design is so elegant.

Another favorite of Biggart is this lip mask with hyaluronic acid. “A great lip mask is the ultimate bougie purchase — not a necessity, but a complete game changer for keeping my lips looking hydrated,” she says. The mask delivers soft, smooth, and deeply hydrated lips overnight thanks to additional ingredients like collagen, coconut oil, and shea butter. The non-sticky balm melts on contact, too.

I can personally attest to the hydrating, glowy feeling these bio-collagen overnight masks deliver, and you won’t be disappointed if you give them a try, too. They come in a four-pack, and get right to work moisturizing and firming the skin, turning clear once all the ingredients have been properly absorbed after a few hours. They’re also safe for sensitive skin.

Conroy says, “I prefer a clear shower curtain because it lets in natural light, which makes the space feel more open and less claustrophobic. There's something energizing about sunlight streaming in while you shower — it helps me feel more awake and refreshed, especially in the morning. An opaque curtain just blocks all that out and makes the shower feel like a tiny dark cave.” This clear, light-loving shower curtain is available in four sizes and eight shades to suit your bathroom in a near-custom way. It’s highly rated and the pebbled design gives it an upgraded feel, too.

“The first time I stood on an anti-fatigue mat was while house- and dog-sitting for a very rich family, and I was honestly shocked by how nice it was,” says Conroy. She adds, “I kept finding excuses to stand on it whenever I was in the kitchen — I remember thinking, I wish my whole floor felt like this. Now I have a few around my apartment in the spots where I stand the most. I just layer rugs over them to make them look a little chicer and blend in with the room.” This anti-fatigue mat features a soft, squishy foam core that cushions your feet and relieves pressure on joints for all-day comfort. It has beveled edges and is a breeze to wipe clean.

Add a touch of traditional charm to your table with this five-piece ceramic dish set. Each dish features a unique design with delicate depictions of flowers, birds, or fish. They’re perfect for soy sauce, dips, or small snacks and are made of ceramic that’s microwave and dishwasher safe, too.

This lip gloss feels just like it’s melting into your lips, all while delivering all-day hydration and color. It’s infused with manuka honey and rose for a glossy shine that helps your skin retain moisture. The dewy, glassy finish is the cherry on top.

• Available shades: 17

“I’m a big fan of a good, cheap tumbler that gives ‘Stanley Cup’ without the multiple dollar signs,” says Conroy, adding, “There’s just something about a giant tumbler with a handle and a straw that feels weirdly indulgent — like it somehow turns plain old water (or my go-to lemon and ginger combo) into something so much chicer.” This 40-ounce tumbler fits the bill, and is made from premium food-grade stainless steel with a powder-coated finish that makes it resistant to condensation and scratches. Plus, it has a leakproof lid and matching straw.

• Available colors: 11

“As much as I love a fancy bath, I rarely have the time to actually take one, which is why I was so happy when I discovered shower steamers — they make my shower feel just as relaxing and indulgent, but without all the time and effort,” says Conroy. These steamers are infused with lemon and lavender essential oils, which in the aromatherapy world, are known to help encourage relaxation and positive energy. Just place one in the corner of the shower and let the steam activate it.

Conroy says, “I get so many compliments on these Turkish towels. I use them for everything — as beach towels, everyday bath towels, even as a wrap. They’re bigger than a standard bath towel, thin enough to pack easily for the beach or travel, and they just keep getting softer with every wash. I have them in a few different colors, and they kind of give my bathroom an effortlessly cool vibe.” With that glowing review, the only thing left to do is pick which color.
