55 Weird, Delightful Things Under $20 We're Loving Right Now On Amazon

Eat my favorite fast food french fries in my car without spilling? Don’t mind if I do — this fry holder (which fits in the cupholder) is meant just for this. There’s even a designated spot for a dipping sauce. The whole thing is made from plastic that’s simple to wipe clean.

This memory foam pillow has an odd concave shape, but I think that it looks like it’d feel heavenly. It’s designed to align your head, neck, shoulders, and back to relieve stress in these areas. After your slumbers, it’ll rebound back to its original shape before the next night.

I’d like to be wrapped up like a burrito at the end of a long day, and this tortilla blanket makes this vision a reality. It’s made from high-quality flannel fabric that’s shockingly soft, and it’s 47 inches across. Other sizes and styles (like donuts, waffles, and more) can be found in the listing.

Jazz up any plain ponytail or updo with one of these hair ties — they’re adorable. The set includes 16 elastic ties, each with a fluffy pom pom in a vivid shade, including pink, yellow, blue, and more.

Made from real amethyst stones (that vary in shape and size), each of these decorative light strands is completely unique. “These glowing crystals will upgrade any place you use them — they'd look pretty draped over a vanity mirror,” adds Beach. Set the strand to various light modes and brightness levels for a custom look.

Is it a little odd to light up your toilet with this motion-sensor light? Sure. However, it’s actually beyond helpful for middle-of-the-night bathroom runs. The LED light can be set to eight color options or it can cycle through them all for a true show.

This phone mount is covered with 24 small suction cups to attach your device to clean, flat surfaces (like mirrors, showers, windows, etc.) for taking the ultimate selfie, video calls, or even just perusing content. It creates a reliable hold so you don’t have to worry about your phone falling and shattering. I’m going to pick this up in the white option for my iPhone but there are 20 colors to choose from in the listing.

A $20 bowl of fruity cereal? No, it’s actually a yummy candle that transports me (and probably you, too) right back to childhood. Even with its colorful appearance, the candle releases a neutral vanilla scent when you burn its three wicks.

Pay homage to one of the best foods out there — aka pasta — by getting this spoon rest for your kitchen. It’s shaped like a big ravioli noodle, yet it’s made from stain- and heat-resistant silicone so warm utensils can rest safely on top. It’s dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.

Position this book-shaped vase among your favorite reads on your bookshelf, then fill it with real or faux greenery (depending on your plant care abilities) to bring the outdoors in. It’s made from transparent acrylic for a modern touch. I’m probably going to grab at least two for my own home.

Elite Daily editor Lauren Beach refers to this ring dish as “a little bougie — but also useful.” And that description couldn’t ring more true. The dish is made from ceramic with a glazed finish, and the unicorn in the center sports a golden horn that shines. Use this pick for rings, bracelets, dainty necklaces, and more.

Mimicking a clothes hanger, this acrylic stand is actually meant for jewelry with 32 holes to display a bunch of pairs. “This is adorable and a great way to keep your earrings organized,” shares Beach. It’s small in size, priced low, and simple to assemble.

These vehicle seat hooks are max-level practical since each one has a hook (to hang your purse, grocery bags, an umbrella, etc., so they don’t roll around as you drive) but also a mount for your phone. “I've seen headrest hooks and headrest phone holders, but this is the only combo I've come across. Genius,” says Beach. It’s super sturdy, and the hook rotates for all-around access.

A spin on an in-person escape room, this escape book will have you taking on brain-teasing challenges that reference the original Sherlock Holmes adventures. “This looks like so much fun and the reviews are fantastic,” notes Beach. The 128 pages will keep you entertained for a long time.

“The cutest way to keep track of your balm and its lid,” is how Beach describes this chapstick holder, which is made from stretchy silicone and adorned with a golden heart-shaped key ring. This allows you to attach it to spots like your backpack, keys, etc. Two come in a pack.

This car-shaped night-light is extra special because it’s made from perfectly squishable silicone with an easy tap control feature to flip through various color modes. It has a rechargeable, built-in battery that can run for up to 12 hours.

Okay, hear me out: I know this Nessie ladle is a little weird. But it functions so much better than others I’ve tried. It scoops up a lot of soup, sauces, pasta, etc. at once. And then when you’re not using it, it stands on its own, minimizing messes on your counters.

This stainless steel mold makes the task of cutting watermelon (or really any melon for that matter) much simpler. It creates an adorable popsicle shape that Beach says is ideal for picnics and parties alike. The durable tool is dishwasher safe.

This vehicle accessory comes recommended by Beach, and it makes total sense why — the fox on the swing is the most adorable thing. Hang it on your rearview mirror and it’ll sway gently as your car moves. Don’t worry: It’s small enough not to impede your vision.

This handheld fan sure is powerful, keeping you cool with its six speed options. “Super compact and lightweight with great reviews; I'm going to grab a few for warm weather,” remarks Beach. The fan is powered by a rechargeable battery that’ll run for up to 15 hours.

Carry a sun hat, baseball cap, or other similar accessory hands-free with this well-designed clip — it attaches to a suitcase or backpack using the zinc alloy clasp, then the leather strap secures your item. “Clever and surprisingly chic,” notes Beach.

Show your plants some love with this heart-shaped planter that comes recommended by Beach. It features three heart-shaped blue vases that are perfectly sized for propagation or smaller plants, and they each sit in a sturdy wooden frame to stay upright.

Ironically, these shark oven mitts ensure you don’t get hurt. They’re made from thick, heat-resistant silicone with a textured, grippy surface for a secure hold on hot cookware. This kitchen pick comes recommended by Beach. Choose from five colors in the listing.

Beach says this ceramic coffee mug is deserving of a spot on this list of delightful items. It has a sweet cactus-inspired shape with golden “spikes” to finish off the design. It holds up to 12 ounces of your favorite drinks, whether that’s coffee, tea, lemon water, or something else.

As Beach puts it: These bear highlighters are proof that “office supplies don’t need to be boring.” The cutie pick comes with six highlighters in vibrant shades of blue, yellow, green, orange, purple, and pink with a tip that can create wide or narrow strokes as needed for your note-taking.

Elite Daily editor Amy Biggart wants this pool float for her next swimming rendezvous. She remarks, “This pool float has a tail! Need I say more?” And not only that, but it’s also covered in the prettiest glittery mermaid-inspired pattern.

Biggart shares that her second piercing is always threatening to close up. Luckily, these gold-plated earrings give the illusion of a double piercing, so she doesn’t need to worry. “I love these earrings for the same look without having to have a second hole in your ear,” she adds.

Sure, you could use plain cups for sipping. Or, you could make the swap to these colorful glasses. “These are so pretty and will make drinking water so much more fun,” expresses Biggart. They can also be used for smoothies, tea, juices, and more. Each one in the pair holds 11 ounces.

“You can bend down to get the golf ball if you want, but I would rather use this,” says Biggart, alluding to this grabbing tool. It has a three-prong head for a secure grasp on the ball, and it fits on most putter grips without issue. It’s lightweight and compact for carrying.

These multi-charging cables are the best-designed chargers I’ve ever seen. And Biggart favors them, too, saying, “This is so cool, and I love that it has three different inputs for different devices.” At 5 feet long, they offer plenty of reach, and the braided design minimizes tangles. One is USB-C to Lightning, micro-USB, and USB-C, and the other is USB-A to Lightning, micro-USB, and USB-C.

Biggart is certainly a fan of this turtle incense holder. “I love this little guy and he can hold two incense sticks at once,” she shares — a rare feature indeed. It’s made from resin for durability and has a silicone mat to catch ashes.

Wine deserves to be sipped at the ideal temperature and this stainless steel chiller stick makes that happen. “A genius invention for chilling wine quickly,” shares Biggart. Bonus points: It has a drip-preventing pourer at the end.

Biggart asks, “Sure, you could have a boring night-light in your house, but why would you when this egg exists?” This cute pick has built-in LED beads that put out a warm glow, and it’s made from squishy, soft silicone.

Add a decorative element to your exterior with this string light strand that’s covered with bees. “These lights are so fun and easy to stick in any hedge or plant in your yard,” adds Biggart. The strand features 20 LEDs that are powered by the sun.

Cassandra Seale, an editor at Elite Daily, shares that she absolutely loves these TONYMOLY sheet masks. “There's a huge variety of these ‘I’m Real’ face masks and they're almost too cute to take out of the package,” she adds. Plus, they’re budget friendly. A brightening mask is shown but there are plenty of other skin-care options available in the listing, including pore care, skin purifying, moisturizing, and more.

When closed, this wooden book looks like, well, a book. However, when you open it up, the faux pages create an illuminated semicircle that couldn’t be more awesome. The book is suggested by Seale, and it’s also well-received on the site, with reviewers confirming it looks just as cool in real life as it does in the pictures.

As Seale says, “you can't argue with a good pun,” and this grim steeper infuser is just that. Fill it with your favorite loose-leaf variety, then plop it into a mug with hot water to get it steeping. It’s easy to clean (it’s dishwasher safe) and also microwave friendly.

Say goodbye to no-shows and hello to crew socks. And this particular pair couldn’t be prettier. “Give me all the sheer floral socks,” jokes Seale. The socks are made of a blend of materials, but mainly cotton for surprising softness. They fit women’s shoe sizes five to nine.

Karen Belz, an editor at Elite Daily, swears that this mini figurine set “will literally brighten up any shelf or desk you put it on. It's been quite tough not buying it in every variety available.” The artistic cat and accompanying easel are both made from high-quality resin.

Every kitchen needs a reliable oven mitt to avoid burns while cooking, and this particular one is so cute. “Perfect for any cat lover, this combo pack is made with quilted cotton,” shares Belz, who adds that the set (which includes a coordinating pot holder) would also make a great gift.

For journaling, DIY lists, note-taking, and other writing tasks, reach for these soft-cover notebooks. “These lined notepads are the perfect size to slip in your backpack or purse to write whenever the mood strikes,” adds Belz. A dozen notebooks are included, so each one is under $2, which is tough to beat.

Elite Daily editor Danielle Kraese confirms that despite its adorable, itty-bitty size, this Uno card deck is actually playable, and, in her experience, it’s “a serious crowd pleaser.” This version of the game follows all of the classic rules, so it’s easy to learn if you don’t already know how.

Kraese recommends this stuffed animal since it has a reversible design — displaying either an angry scowl or a happy smile — to let others around you understand how you’re feeling. It’s ultra soft for cuddling up with at any point during the day or night.

Ordinary glow sticks lose their luster quickly, but this particular one is rechargeable for unlimited enjoyment. “All the fun of glow sticks without the waste! I love that it has multiple color settings and have used it to stay more visible during walks after dark,” explains Kraese.

Colorful cat socks? They’re a yes in Kraese’s eyes. Each of the five pairs is made from a cotton, polyester, and spandex blend, making them soft, breathable, and the perfect level of stretchy. The crew length ensures the little feline friend peeks out to say hello over gym shoes and other low-cut pairs.

Carolyn Menyes, an editor at Elite Daily, is a self-described sucker for novelty office supplies. And so she refers to these cat paper clips as a total delight. The 100 colorful clips are each made from metal and can secure several pages together.

For a calming effect, give this stress ball a good squeeze. “Sugar balls are the GOAT when it comes to fidget toys, and this axolotl shape is so charming,” adds Menyes. Plus, it’s pink and glittery — and who doesn’t want that?

Menyes says she sips a cup of tea every night, and this enchanting mushroom infuser “has definitely saved me big bucks because I can use loose leaf instead of tea bags.” It’s made mostly from silicone (minus the stainless steel chain), and Menyes confirms the holes are super small so the leaves don’t end up floating in the drink.

Made from porcelain with hand-glazed details, this duck mug is hard to resist. “His blank expression just makes me really happy. I need someone to gift this to me ASAP,” jokes Menyes. The mug is larger than most, with a 14-ounce capacity.

This confetti balm is Menyes’ go-to. “It feels moisturizing, and as a fan of a subtle tint, this delivers,” she adds. When you swipe on the balm, it reacts with your pH level, creating a pink shade that’s perfect for you. Another perk? It’s vanilla scented.

Elite Daily editor Anna Anderson points to this hair clip if you’re looking for weirdness and delight. The large claw-style clip — that has a strong grip to stay in place — is covered in the softest, fluffiest faux fur. This is the white option, but there are other neutrals and colorful shades, too, via the listing.

Have a hard time spotting your luggage on the airport baggage carousel? Don’t fret: These three googly-eyed luggage tags “make it way harder to mix up your luggage with someone else’s,” explains Anderson. There’s a spot to write your name and address, and they secure in place using the buckle strap. And yes, the pupils can move around.

Grab this cat statue for display wherever your heart desires. As Anderson puts it: “I mean — why not?” It’s made from wood with a super smooth, splinter-free finish, and it stands at just over 1 inch tall for a subtle addition.

“If you spend all day at your computer, you might as well make it fun,” notes Anderson, and this duck keycap is a simple, low-cost way to make that happen. It fits on most standard or gaming keyboards, and it’s effortless to install.

These disco ball earrings light up to bring the fun — even if it’s just a Tuesday. They can be set to a whopping 16 lighting modes, and they can shine bright for up to 10 hours straight before needing a recharge. This pick comes recommended by Anderson, so you can thank her later.
