If the perfect mix of user-interface, packaging design, and general function when it comes to products in your everyday life doesn't thrill you, you might want to exit this article.
But if the aforementioned ideas are what you think about 87% of any given day, welcome! This article is specifically written for you!
We love thoughtful, beautiful things, and we sort of refuse to come into contact with anything less than the best version of itself when it comes to the stuff we use every day in our home.
After a lifetime of honing, here are the 14 best versions of things we use near-constantly, that are blessedly pretty affordable.
1. Glow Beauty The Mini Detangling Brush
This is our purse brush. And our car brush. It’s mini, it’s the best detangler, and it literally feels like you’re giving yourself a scalp massage.
Price: $27
2. Weck Canning Jars, Set of 4
We take the lids off and use them as water glasses. Best ever. Enormous capacity and we drink 10 times more water.
Price: $45
3. Biom Home™ All-Purpose Wipes
We use these wipes on ALL surfaces including wood. And … hands. And they’re (quite clearly) the only container lovely enough to leave on the countertop instead of stuffing deep inside a cabinet.
Price: $39.50 (for starter kit)
* Gifted product
4. Quince 14K Gold Diamond Pave U Huggie Hoops
These are not affordable compared to countertop wipes, but they are WILDLY affordable compared to every other version of diamond huggies in existence. We love an earring we can just leave in our ears, and we love a petite sparkle for everyday. These are 14k gold, with natural, ethically sourced diamonds, and include our favorite feature of all time—a hinge close. We are just not faffing about with complicated closures anymore in 2025.
Price: $200
5. Jergens Natural Glow Instant Sun Drops
3 drops of these verrrrry natural, no-bad-odor drops into our moisturizer each morning gives us suuuuuuch a natural glow all day that never looks orange. It’s the best way to cheat a tan that never looks fake—obviously we’re piling on the spf because it helps us stay young. And, you know, not get skin cancer.
Price: $13
* Gifted product
6. Marvis Toothbrush
It’s gone out of fashion but we LOVE a “medium” bristle. It’s just a cleaner clean somehow. Plus just look at this perfect specimen of a toothbrush.
Price: $6
7. Nielsen-Massey Pure Vanilla Bean Paste
Don’t think. Just get. You’ll never use vanilla extract again. Put a dribble of this in everything—yogurt, iced coffee, grilled peaches.
Price: $19
8. Clean Skin Club Clean Towels XL™
Washcloths breed disgusting bacteria. Plus, where do we put them when they’re wet? Hung over the sink to mold? What? These towelettes are life-changing.
Price: $18
9. Dedcool Hand Cream Xtra Milk
The scent of this hand cream is absolutely unmatched—milky, ricey, creamy. It’s just so good.

10. Copenhagen Design Pantone Mug
Need we even explain?
Price: $25
11. hay bullet pen
Once you’ve tried a Hay bullet pen, you just can’t hold a Bic in your hand ever again.
Price: $10
12. umbra casa tissue box Cover
SERATONIN.
Price: $7
13. Drybar Blowout Defense Strengthen & Extend Accelerator Spray
The real “luxury” here is that when we use this product to blow dry our hair, it extends the life of the blow dry for many days. And having “just stepped out of a salon” hair is perhaps the most lavish luxury we can possibly imagine.
Price: $34
* Gifted product
14. neiwai Barely Zero Spaghetti Strap Bra
We wrote a whole thing about this magic “makes your boobs look like implants” over HERE and we promise you that once you discover the luxe feeling of a perky but NON UNDERWIRED bosom, you simply will never wear another bra again.
Price: $39
