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 on 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 typical Amazon noise and rounding up some cool finds that 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 maybe never find on your own.

Amazon

A portable food warmer for entertaining…

The age-old problem: figuring when to cook so the food will stay warm by the time guests arrive. This silicone heating mat gets rid of that dilemma completely. It has 13 different temperature levels based on what you’re serving, and can be rolled up when not in use. Pick your setting, place your platter on top, and serve. It’ll keep your food warm and guest-ready. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

The new “it” water bottle everyone is obsessed with…

Owalas are all the rage right now for their two sipping options. You can take a regular sip, or use its hidden built-in straw, which people love for clean, mess-free drinking while on the go. It’ll keep liquids cold for up to 24 hours and has a durable carry loop. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

A cordless water flosser…

Some water flossers are clunky and take up a lot of space. We love this one because it’s portable, has a small removable tank, and is lightweight. It’s more powerful than traditional flossing, so I use it for the area of teeth around my built-in, permanent retainer. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

A smart thermostat for effortlessly controlling the temperature…

I’m a recent convert to a smart thermostat. I love the ease of being able to control my AC from the Alexa app on my phone and setting a schedule for my apartment’s temperature throughout the day (which saves me money because it’ll automatically shut off when I’m not using it).

The sunglasses of the summer…

If you’re on Instagram, you’ve probably seen these sunglasses that are a dupe for a Celine pair. They’re a retro oval shape with gold detailing and have a UV lens protection of 400. The best part? They aren’t $550 like the designer pair that inspired them. If you break them or get sunscreen all over them, you don’t have to worry. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

An ergonomic hair brush to keep you tangle-free…

A clear ice cube maker…

Yes, ice is technically clear, but this mold ensures that it’s crystal clear. Pour the water into the mold and freeze for at least 18 hours. You’ll get two-inch square cubes that will melt slower than regular ice. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

A tumbler that folds up…

An eye shadow primer that’ll prevent creasing…

Forget smudging, creasing, or caking. This primer from Elizabeth Mott will keep your eye makeup in place so it lasts. Pro tip: Apply a pea-sized amount under your eyes and wait 30 seconds before you add makeup on top. Don’t forget to use it under your eyes pre-concealer, too. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

A peeler that takes corn off the cob in seconds…

You don’t have to risk your life with a knife to get corn onto a plate. This handy peeler allows you to shuck corn without possibly chopping a finger off. It’s mess-free, lays flat in a drawer, and has grips on the side to keep your hands steady. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

An aesthetically pleasing sunrise alarm clock…

It isn’t an eyesore and doesn’t cost $200 like other brands out there. This one has three brightness levels and 10 white noise sounds. You can create a wind-down and wake-up schedule, and there’s even a port for you to charge your phone. Plus, it doubles as a bedside lamp. A does-it-all product just under $50? That’s a win in our book. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Stainless steel blender whisks…

If you’re low on space in your kitchen, but still love to bake, you need these. They’re manual, powerful whisks that don’t require you to plug anything in. To use, press down on the handle and the whisk will spin. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

A citrus juicer that takes minimal effort to use…

This squeezer will get out every last drop because of its unique design. The way it latches means you’ll use your arms instead of your hands as leverage, so more juice will come out. There’s also a built-in catcher for seeds. My favorite part: the fact that it can fold completely flat, so it won’t get stuck in your drawer. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

A hydrating lip butter that’s $5…

I’m having major flashbacks with this EOS lip balm from my middle school days. Now, the brand feels a little more elevated and grown-up. I recently tried this Intensive Dry Lip Repair Rescue Treatment and was shocked at how well this kept my lips hydrated for a full 24 hours. It’s hypoallergenic, packed with shea butter, and has a light strawberry scent. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

A USB-powered book light that provides a lot of light…

Skimm’rs and our editors love Glocuscent for their compact, yet powerful reading lights. This one has a wing design, so it’ll provide even more light. It has a clip for your book, three color settings, and five brightness settings. What stands out about this one compared to other book lights is that it has a built-in sleep timer. You can pick between 30- and 45-minute timers that’ll emulate a sunset. ($15.99, Amazon)

A 3D paper floral arrangement…

Whether you need an affordable gift for someone, or want to spruce up your space on a budget, our team loves these arrangements. Because they’re made of paper, they’ll last forever (and you don’t have to deal with pouring dirty water out of a vase). ($13.99, Amazon)
