The Best Under $25 Buys to Shop Right Now
The best purchases are ones that are deeply practical — gadgets that make cooking, cleaning, or getting dressed unexpectedly more simple. Added bonus? When said products cost less then $25.
Below, we’ve curated well-reviewed selects that warrant an immediate click of the add to cart button. Our prerequisites for this curation were two-fold. These products either have some sort of problem-solving feature — plastic bowls made of non-stick silicone that won’t reek of last night’s dinner, a rapid egg cooker that turns breakfast prep into a 2-second task, stackable tumblers that make the most of vertical storage space — or will be used/worn all the time. Graphic tees and midi dresses? Consider your summer wardrobe ready.

Plastic Mixing Bowl Set
$20
We’ve all scrubbed away at a storage container to find that last night’s pasta sauce will stubbornly remain, right? Thankfully, this 6-piece plastic mixing bowl and matching lid set is made from a non-stick silicone that is BPA-free and dishwasher, so consider your headache saved.
Jar Lid Opener
$5.99
Trust us, this jar lid opener is about to save you so much time. Designed with silicone grooves in three sizes, these easily open the tops off of lids, bottles, and drinks marketed as being “twist off” but are they really?
Dash Egg Cooker & Omelet Maker
$19.99
Skipping breakfast is a common occurrence when you factor in the effort required, but the Dash egg cooker and omelet maker takes the guesswork (and clean up) out of egg-based dishes. This cooks up to seven hard boiled, soft boiled, poached, or scrambled eggs at a time; just add water, press the on button, and make yourself a cup of coffee.
I Dew Care Dry Shampoo
$18
We suggest you put down the aerosol dry shampoo if your hair errs on the thinner side. Instead, opt for a powder-based formula like the one found in the I Dew Care Dry Shampoo. A few taps of product absorb grease in seconds for a just-washed look with a hint of volume, to boot.
Ninja Express Chop
$24.99
Creating sauces in the blender you use for morning fruit smoothies… no matter how thoroughly you clean, there will always be a lingering taste of tomato.

It’s compact, too, making it the perfect practical gadget that won’t take up precious counter space in too-small kitchens.
Large Beverage Dispenser
$15
Summertime means outdoor hosting, and big patches of homemade cocktails will look exponentially better when housed in this large glass dispenser. It’s great for everyday use, too, if you want to elevate the experience of drinking water by adding fresh lemons and cucumbers (you should).
Naturium Cooling Body Wash
$17.99
Naturium’s cooling body wash harnesses the power of fermented sugar cane and mandelic acid, the latter of which acts as a gentle AHA to neutralize body odor. The citrus scent and post-cleanse cooling sensation make this a no-brainer for adding to your summer shower routine.
K-Cup Reusable Filter
$8.99
Break up with wastefulness and invest in a K-Cup Reusable Filter. Just fill this to the max line with your preferred choice of ground coffee, and expect a perfectly-brewed cup every time. Plus, you’ll save hundreds of dollars a year because you won’t have to keep repurchasing coffee pods.
12-Piece Dinnerware Set
$25
Nothing says sophistication quite like a matching dinner set, but said matching sets tend to be expensive — and if you carry an ounce of clumsiness, you’re aware that they’re also super fragile. For $25, this comes with four cereal bowls, four salad plates, and four dinner plates, all dishwasher- and microwave-safe.
ChomCom Roller
$21.99
Pet owners, if you’re sick of picking white furs of your black blazer ahead of every single meeting… might we suggest investing in this $22 ChomCom Roller.

The entire line has reached TikTok virality time and time again for its efficacy.
Twilight Tee
$9.80
Scanning the rows upon rows of graphic tees at Target is a spiritual experience, and we’ve all snagged a band tee (or three) throughout the years. Our favorite is the Twilight tee — a safe choice for anyone who still listens to the film’s soundtrack in 2024 — thought you can’t go wrong with The Cure tee, either.
Midi Ballet Dress
$17.50
Summer wardrobe staples are all about breezy fabrics and no-frills silhouettes, and this midi dress fits the criteria to a T. Bonus points for the low-cut ballet back that zhuzh up this basic (and not in a bad way) closet staple.
AirFly Bluetooth Transmitter
There is no greater joy than an in-flight movie, though the questionable complementary headphones do a pretty good job of ruining it. Presenting the AirFly Bluetooth Transmitter, which allows you to connect your earbuds directly to the screen for a prime audio experience.
Double Layer Run Shorts
$16.80
Upgrade morning rungs with the Double Layer Run Shorts. These have the secure fit and underlayer of a bike short with a flowy outer that makes for breezy, full-coverage sprints, and rest assured that moisture-wicking fabric does its job — you won’t feel like you’re sitting in your own sweat.

$14
