As someone who has a bit of a shopping addiction, I’m trying to better about saving money. So whenever I get the chance, I ask for a gift card–especially Amazon. The site has quite literally everything that you could ask for–from home goods to clothing to exercise equipment. And you don’t even have to leave the house! Not to mention there are a ton of things on Amazon that won’t break the bank. So if you received an Amazon gift card recently, you’re in luck. I’ve scoured the thousands of items to narrow it down to 22 fun things worth buying that you can afford with a $20 gift card. From an adorable mini waffle maker to storage options that make the most out of your small kitchen to sheets that are insanely soft, I’ve found pretty much everything under the sun. So what are you waiting for? It’s time to get shopping!
Make The Cutest Breakfast With This Waffle Maker
There’s nothing I love more than waffles on the weekend. It’s one of the things that I look forward to every Sunday morning. If you have yet to try it, then you need to now–with the help of this waffle maker. It’s super easy to use and makes as many mini waffles as your heart desires.
Keep Your Car Clean With This Cleaning Gel
I used to never take care of my car. But once I got a new one this past year, I made it my goal to keep it as clean as possible. One of the ways I do that is this cleaning gel. It’s specifically designed for air vents, steering wheels, console panels, storage bins, cup holders, dashboards, and more.
Stay Hair Free With This Hair Remover
Staying hair-free can be a pain in the butt as a woman. I know from first-hand experience. Not only do we have to shave our legs and armpits, but we also have to worry about smaller spots like our faces and toes. With this hair remover, you can get rid of peach fuzz easily. Use it on your cheeks, lip, and chin to stay baby smooth.
Nourish & Strengthen Your Hair With This Rosemary Oil
I first came across rosemary oil on TikTok. Everyone was talking about great it is for hair growth. So, of course, I looked into it. And I came across this one on Amazon for only $9. Use it on your split ends or your dry scalp to increase circulation, combat dandruff, and strengthen and protect your locks.
Dress Up Your Apple Watch With These Bands
If I’m going to be wearing an Apple Watch every day, I want to be sure that it looks good with my outfits. Call me shallow. That’s why I love this six-pack of watch bands. It comes in a variety of color options–with everything from pastels to gem tones to neutrals–so you can wear a different one to match every outfit in your closet.
Confidently Hold Onto Your Phone With This PopSocket
To prevent yourself from dropping your phone and causing serious damage, use this PopSocket. It allows for one-handed use, so you can scroll without worrying about slipping. I read books on my phone all of the time and I absolutely love having it while I’m laying in bed.
Work Efficiently With This Adapter
I absolutely love all things Apple. That’s why I have an Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad, and MacBook. What I don’t love is them changing the ports. Now I have to have an adapter for my USB cords. If you’re in the same boat, this one is a great option. It has four different ports so you can use four different cords at one time, which is a lifesaver.
Dress Up Your Bed With These Sheets
Coming across good sheets that are affordable can be difficult. But when I was in the market for some new ones a couple of months ago, I immediately turned to Amazon. That’s when I found these sheets. They’re under $20 for queen-sized sheets and they are much softer than expected. It doesn’t get much better than that.
These Satin Pillowcases Cost Less Than $10
Speaking of bedding, did you know that sleeping on a satin pillowcase is great for your hair and skin? It helps prevent wrinkles and frizz, taking your beauty sleep to the next level. And the best part about this one in particular? It costs under $10. That means sleeping like heaven won’t break the bank.
Keep Drinks Warm With This Lowball
To keep your drinks hot or cold for hours on end, keep them in this lowball from YETI. It’s made from durable stainless steel with double-wall vacuum insulation to help keep your drinks at the perfect temperature. It also has a MagSlider Lid which uses the power of magnets to prevent spillage.
Perfect Your Latte With This Milk Frother
As much as I love getting coffee, my wallet isn’t exactly a fan. That’s why I make my coffee at home every morning. But no good latte is complete without a frothy foam on top. To become your own barista, use this milk frother. It’s affordable and does an incredible job of frothing whatever warm milk you desire.
Stay Charged On The Go With This Keychain
If you have an Apple Watch and it tends to die on you, this keychain is going to be your lifesaver. The built-in 1000mAh battery offers a quick charge–we’re talking two hours. Plus it can charge it 2-3 times before it needs to charge itself. Talk about handy!
Stay Up All Night With This Neck Reading Light
2022 was the year I fell back in love with reading. It’s one of my favorite things to do before I go to sleep and when I wake up in the morning. I don’t like having all of the lights on when it’s dark out, which is why I got this neck reading light. I can remain hands-free to hold my book and see what I’m reading in even the darkest of conditions.
This Portable Charger Has A Built In Flashlight
I believe that absolutely everyone should have at least one portable charger like this one on hand at all times. You never know when you’re going to need some extra juice for your electronics. Whether you’re traveling and need a charge on the go or your power goes out and you want to stay connected, this is a great, affordable option.
Keep Cool With This Portable Fan
As someone who lives in the desert where the temperatures are typically in the triple digits, staying cool is super important. That’s why I break this handheld fan out every year once the temps warm up. It also made a perfect addition to my backpack on a trip to an amusement park.
Prop Up Your Phone With This Stand
Whether you’re propping your phone up to follow a recipe or you love propping your phone up on your nightstand every evening before bed, this stand is a cheap, affordable option. It’s under $20 and makes small tasks much easier to manage.
These Measuring Spoons Are Magnetic
Take the guesswork out of cooking with these measuring spoons. The stainless steel construction is made to last a lifetime. Plus they’re just very aesthetically pleasing and look great in your kitchen. Oh, and did I mention that they’re magnetic? That means they all stick together so they take up less space in your drawers.
Keep Your Countertops Clean With This Utensil Rest
Keep your kitchen counters clean while you cook with this utensil rest. It holds your spoons, baster, spatula, etc., while you’re not using them, so you can avoid getting food all over the kitchen. As someone who hates making a mess while cleaning, this is a lifesaver.
Wear This Headband During Workouts
Now that the weather is cooling down, it’s time to prepare for cold weather runs. One of the easiest ways to do that (aside from throwing on a jacket) is with this headband. It goes over your ears to keep them warm while playing music, so you can still enjoy your pump playlist to get you amped up.
Open Jars Effortlessly With This Jar Opener
Who needs to struggle with jars every single time you need to open one when you can use this opener instead? It has four different size options depending on what you need, and it gives you the strength and mobility that you need to open up virtually any jar you need.
Short On Space? Use This Paper Towel Holder
As someone who has very little kitchen space, I was looking for ways to maximize the room that I do have. I saw someone mention a towel rack like this on TikTok and I bought it immediately. It’s been such a lifesaver for making room on my counter while keeping the towels easy to access. 10/10 recommend.
Dry Dishes With Ease With This Roll Up Rack
I have a pretty small kitchen. And while I don’t mind it since it’s just me, I do get overwhelmed if it gets too cluttered. That’s why I love this drying rack. It sits over your sink, freeing up counter space, and it rolls up when not being used so you can tuck it away without having to sacrifice cabinet space.
