Products you buy through our links may earn us a commission. Oh, and if something's out of stock, oops, it was there (and all prices were accurate) at time of publication.

While we’ve all had our gripes with shopping at Amazon, we can’t quit the quick shipping and access to thousands of products, either. There’s nothing more satisfying than finding a budget-friendly product that either looks expensive or simply does so much for our daily routines. Today, I’m cutting through the endless options and rounding up some cool finds you wouldn’t believe arrive in two days or less. Whether you’re Amazon-obsessed or are constantly searching for a good steal, here are the unique products you’d never find on your own.

A lip oil under $10 our editor can’t stop hyping…

Our editor claims that this makes her lips look juicy and plump without the stinging that comes with traditional plumping glosses on the market. It’s an oil-gloss hybrid, isn’t sticky, and provides up to 12 hours of hydration. Pick from seven shades — our editor loves that she can “drink a margarita and not need to reapply” which is a win in our books. ($8.97, Amazon)

Some nesting prep bowls with lids…

I saw these adorable colored prep bowls pop up in my Instagram ads and I’ve been itching to buy them ever since. They’re nesting, which means they’re perfect for smaller spaces and ensuring that the set stays together in your cabinets. I also love that they come with airtight, leakproof lids for meal prep and keeping food fresh. The detail I’m most intrigued by: The lids’ thick tabs for easy opening and closing. ($21.99+/set of 4, Amazon)

A container that'll make taking salad on the go a breeze…

If you want to amp up your “sad desk salad,” make one at home and buy this Bentgo container to do so. This handy container (which happens to be from the brand that makes the bento box I swear by), has a large compartment at the bottom for greens, another sectioned removable compartment for toppings, and a lidded container that fits in the center for dressing. It also comes with a fork that fits securely into the lid. Which means you can pack your salad for lunch without having to worry about it getting soggy. The best part? It’s dishwasher- and microwave-safe. ($14.99, Amazon)

A pastel knife set…

Another set that’s been sitting in my cart for months. If you love to cook, Amazon is a great place to buy high quality knives. This set of six is just under $20 and comes with everything from paring knives for prepping fruits and vegetables to a classic chef’s knife. Each knife comes with a corresponding blade cover for added protection to ensure they’ll last. They’re made of stainless steel with a ceramic coating, along with silicone for easy-to-grip handles. Not to mention, the pastel rainbow shades are too good to pass up. ($19.99+, Amazon)

Some silk scrunchies…

Lots of brands have their own versions of silk scrunchies that can be at least $30 for a set. I love Amazon’s budget-friendly options because they’re pretty much the exact same thing, but at a fraction of the cost. These scrunchies are made from 100% mulberry silk, and they’re gentler than typical hair ties. ($17.99/3-pack, Amazon)

A woven crossbody that’s a designer alternative…

That’s right. Amazon has a dupe for Bottega Veneta’s popular shoulder bag and it’s pretty much the exact same. You can wear it as a shoulder bag or crossbody. It has a plethora of compartments to keep you organized, along with a zippered pocket and a magnetic closure. No need to spend thousands of dollars to get the look. This bag is just under $70. Psst…this one has a slightly longer shipping time. ($69.99, Amazon)

A striped oversized sweatshirt…

These striped, cozy sweatshirts are another trend I’ve seen all over social media as of late. These Amazon versions are $32.99 and come in countless colorways. I love that they’re elevated enough to wear with jeans, but are long enough to wear with leggings. ($32.99, Amazon)

An arched full-length mirror…

Finding the right accessories for your home can be a pain, but this mirror is a recent editor find that’s too good. It has matte black detailing and an elongated arch. It comes with a built-in stand but you can also mount it on the wall. ($58.69, Amazon)

A two-piece set we’re stocking up on for summer…

This one comes in eight different colors and is perfect for the hottest days in which you want to feel put together but don’t want to think about an outfit. You’ll get shorts and a matching vest tank top with a V-neckline and button detailing. Dress it up with sandals or heels, or dress it down with your favorite white sneaker. ($48.99, Amazon)

A car trunk organizer that won’t budge…

This collapsible organizer has Velcro at the base to ensure your essentials won’t roll around in the back of your car. It has a variety of compartments (even one for shoes) and when you’re not using it, you can flatten it thanks to its corresponding buckles. It’s made of an easily wipeable oxford cloth. ($29.99, Amazon)

A jar just for pickle lovers…

For the pickled-food obsessed, you need this. This leakproof jar has an hourglass shape that’ll keep your hands mess-free. To use, just add your pickles along with the juice into the jar. When you’re ready to eat, flip the jar upside down. It’ll filter out the juice so you can grab the pickles without a sticky mess. This is a must-give gift for any pickle lovers in your life. ($22.99+, Amazon)

A storage container for pizza leftovers…

There’s nothing more annoying than trying to figure out how to fit a pizza box in your fridge. This collapsible silicone container has a vacuum seal that’ll keep your slices fresher for longer. There’s an air vent to prevent condensation (and therefore a soggy slice). The container even comes with microwavable divider trays to prevent your slices from sticking together — and they even double as plates. ($24.99, Amazon)

The overnight oats containers that have gone viral…

Any products that make meal prep easier are ones we can get behind. This sturdy set of glass jars have leakproof lids with a ridged design for easy opening. They come with spoons that fit into the jars themselves so you can prep your oats, throw them in the fridge, and grab your breakfast come morning. ($16.99, Amazon)

A side table that doubles as a cooler…

With summer just around the corner, I’m majorly eyeing this. It’s a design-forward modern side table with a top that swivels open so you can store ice in the base. It keeps cans cool for up to 12 hours and holds up to 40 liters of ice. It’s ideal for the backyard or to keep poolside. ($119.99, Amazon)

A mini travel iron you can take pretty much anywhere…

It has dual voltage, heats up to 302 degrees, and comes with a spray bottle so you can iron both wet and dry. It has a nonstick ceramic plate for easy gliding, and at under one pound, it won’t weigh your bag down. ($31.99+, Amazon)

A tech organizer from Bagsmart…

I recently raved about Bagsmart for their affordable travel gear and their latest suitcase launch. This quilted tech organizer is sleek and has slots for cords, portable chargers, AirPods, and so much more. It’s compact, lightweight, and has a secure zipper to keep everything in place. I love that it has an outer pocket for your phone and a long handle. I’d also store a couple of smaller makeup items in here, too. ($16.99, Amazon)

A portable garment rack that’s practically magic…

At 13 inches, it’ll fit compactly in your bag. But it expands into a 35-inch-long rack after unfolding. Use it for travel or any time you’re short on space and could use some extra organization. No assembly required. ($29.99, Amazon)

A portable washer and dryer…

I would’ve happily kept these in my dorm room in college if I had known they existed. This small, compact dryer can hold up to 20 items of clothing, but the brand says to not add more than 5 pounds of clothing. It has a regular speed and a strong speed. To use, just plug it in, add your clothes into the foldable hanging bag, and pick your settings. You’ll have dry clothes in as little as an hour. As for the washer, it’s collapsible, holds almost 2.5 gallons of water, and even has a spin cycle. Customers rave that it’s small enough to fit inside a suitcase and it even has a blue light technology to break down dirt and grime. To use, plug in, add your clothing, water, and detergent, and pick your cycle.
