15 Must Have Gadgets You Can Buy For Under $10 on Amazon
There are fewer things I like more than scouring the internet for bargains. Shopping is my talent. Some people love to dance or play a sport. My favorite hobby is spending money. I can’t help it.
Sites like Amazon have me chomping at the bit to spend more than a husband-to-be at a strip club, with slightly less guilt. The best thing about it? There is so much you can get for next to nothing at all – plus, FREE SHIPPING.
In this day and age, everyone wants to get the biggest bang for their buck, right? If you feel like a little frivolous spending that you can still justify to your partner (or accountant), then you’re in the right place. Let me guide you through some of the best gizmos and gadgets that I’ve found for under $10 on Amazon.
Log in to your account, turn on one-click buying and prepare to say goodbye to some hard-earned cash. Don’t worry, it’s not all entirely useless – some of these are absolute must haves. If you can get to the end without spending a dollar, I salute you. Let’s go.
15. BOTTLE OPENER RING
Frankly, I don’t know how I’ve lived so long without one. I may be more of a gin and tonic kind of girl, but I am partial to a cold one as much as the next. This would even come in handy just to avoid the ‘Pass me the bottle opener, babe’. This handy little gadget slides right on your index finger and is the ultimate lazy accessory (lazy, or pure genius?) I’m divided as to which it is, but I defy you to not make a purchase. It’s a must have. It’s a bottle opener ring for goodness sake. It makes so much sense, I feel like an idiot for not thinking of it myself. This little beauty is just $1.02 and free shipping!
14. SCALP MASSAGER
My first housemate had one of these. When I spotted it, I was perplexed, not least because her one was in a box called ‘The Orgasmatron.’ Oh, how pleased I was when I tried it. The name was fitting. This gadget is insane. You will never know how much your scalp needed massaging until you try one of these bad boys. With lots of little spokes that look like they will be anything other than pleasurable, it sends shivers down your spine. Not in a sexual way I might add, but more so the same satisfying feeling you get when someone gives your back a really good scratching. Currently selling for $6.99 and let me tell you, it’s worth every penny.
13. 3 WAY AVOCADO SLICER
If you’re like me and partial to the godliness that is avocado, then you need this tool in your life. Avocados, while delicious, are notoriously a pain in the butt to prepare. Well, no more my friends. Put those days behind you and be prepared for a whole new hassle-free existence. This nifty little gadget splits, pits and slices your avo to perfection. This is a must have tool for your kitchen and it’s a steal for just $9.95. Say goodbye to slippery green chaos and say hello to Instagram worthy avocadoness. Completely worth the price, if you ask me. Happy buying!
12. LED LIGHT FAUCET NOZZLE
Didn’t realize that you needed this in your life? Me neither – until now. Let’s face it, water is pretty boring to look at. It’s colorless for a start. Plus, washing the dishes is a chore that just offers no entertainment whatsoever. Why not switch things up and dare to live dangerously with this LED light changing nozzle that attaches to your faucet? If you really want to push some boundaries, you could even put one in your bathroom too, making bath time disco time. Make the dull every-day things a little bit more fun with one of these inventive gadgets. The color changes to the temperature of the water too, so you won’t get bored easily. This can be yours for just $4.91.
11. FAKE PARKING TICKETS
Inconsiderate drivers are the worst. These are the kind of people that cut you up at junctions, overtake you when there isn’t space and drive so far up your butt that you may as well be sitting in the same car. Their parking is also just as bad, often doing a shoddy job, parking in family spaces or dumping their vehicle just about anywhere as long as it means they don’t have to take more than two steps to reach their destination. So, rather than scramble for a pen and paper to write an angry note, why not buy yourself a pack of these and keep them on hand to stick under their windscreen wipers. Handy, perfectly written and official looking, these fake parking tickets can be yours to distribute as you see fit for $3.15.
10. HYDE CLEANING GLOVE
With your LED faucet light at the ready, all you need now is the perfect cleaning accessory to make life at the sink even more enjoyable. Well, as enjoyable as cleaning can be. These gloves help you reach all the nooks and crannies on DIY tools without the bulkiness of a sponge and any nasty chemicals. Perfect if you’re into painting or are simply decorating the house. You can even wash one hand with the glove – if that’s not genius, I don’t know what is. This item has a rating of 3.5 stars on Amazon, with some pretty good feedback. For just $7.39, it’s worth trying them out for yourself, especially if you’re like me and can’t paint a room without also painting everything else in sight.
9. UNDER THE DESK FOOT HAMMOCK
I’m currently sat at my desk wondering why I don’t have one of these heavenly oddities supporting my burning bunions. The FUUT foot hammock makes your life at the office much more comfortable. Say goodbye to aching knees and joint pain. Not only is it dreamy and easy to fit, it comes in a variety of colors including navy, green and orange. What are you waiting for? There’s no time to lose. Pop over to Amazon now and snap one of these up for yourself. With free shipping and at $9.85, there can only be a positive outcome. Who knows, you might start an office trend. People will be thanking you for decades to come.
8. WATERPROOF CELL PHONE PROTECTOR
It’s holiday season coming up. What better way to get those glamorous snaps on the beach than grabbing yourself one of these waterproof cases for your cellphone? That way, you don’t run the risk of dropping your phone in the ocean, and you can even take pictures underwater. The MoKo waterproof protector is universal, meaning it fits most phone types. It also has a strap that you pop around your neck and enough room for your cash and cards, so if you don’t want to leave your valuables unattended, you don’t have to. The transparent cover also allows full touch screen functionality, so you don’t have to constantly have to take it out. Pick it up today for just $5.99.
7. THE BULLSHIT BUTTON
Oh, how I’ve needed one of these my entire life. The Bullshit Button says exactly what you want to say when someone is spouting nonsense, so you don’t have to. All you have to do is give the button a whack and out comes a statement or two, like ‘THAT WAS BULLSHIT.’ Pretty blunt, to the point and suitably harsh. If that doesn’t float your boat enough, there are a whole host of these buttons available to suit every occasion. There is a Fuck It! Button, a Blah, Blah Button and probably some more out there that I haven’t discovered yet. However, if the Bullshit Button is more your bag, you can grab it for just $8.89.
6. JEAN WAIST EXTENDERS
This is the perfect idea for those times where you over-indulge. It could be Christmas, it could be Thanksgiving, it could be an all-you-can-eat buffet. Whatever the reason, there are always times when we could do with a little extra wiggle room. These handy waist extenders fit right onto your jeans, giving you some more breathing space. A perfect little trick to have up your sleeve – or rather, on your waist – and an equally perfect gift if you feel like offending someone. For the bargain price of $9.95 you can say goodbye to the painful dig of too-tight jeans for good.
5. COLLAPSIBLE PET TRAVEL CUP
Are you planning a long trip with your pet? Then the Dexas Popware for Pets Collapsible Travel Cup may be just the ticket. This handy bowl does pretty much what you’d think. It collapses down into a flat disk making it small enough to travel with. It comes in a variety of colors to suit all pet tastes. You can choose from blue, green, pink, purple or white. With the summer almost upon us, it’s important to make sure those pooches stay watered, and with this product you can do exactly that. It’s small enough that it’ll even fit in your jacket pocket – and so lightweight you won’t even feel it. It’s all yours for $6.11.
4. PUSH BUTTON SWITCH BLADE POCKET COMB
This may be the coolest comb I have ever seen. Not only will it scare the living daylights out of everyone within a five meter radius (not that I’m recommending that), this novelty comb will give you a swish hairdo to boot. Despite all of that, it’s a pretty stylish little accessory that is compact enough to fit in your pocket. The downside? If you ever get searched by a police officer, don’t expect them to be amused. The description states ‘This makes a fun Christmas gift for the suave and debonair man in your life.’ I say, why wait until Christmas? Snap this up for a very reasonable $5.60 plus free shipping on orders over $25.
3. HAND MEAT CLAWS – MANUAL SHREDDER
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be Wolverine? Yeah, me too. Dream no more. These durable plastic meat claws will have you shredding up pork, beef, chicken, turkey, cow – the list goes on. Not only are they really cool, but can also be used as a giant fork to hold a watermelon or something similar in place, while you slice. There is almost no end to the talents of this gadget. You can get your X-men on for just $5.99 for a pair. Thanks to Topoko you can be the envy of your friends this barbecue season. Pull that pork!
2. HUNDRED DOLLAR BILL TOILET PAPER
You can wipe your butt with 100 dollar bills anytime you like for just $7.99. Don’t be fooled, this is not just a novelty gift, but a must-have for any aspiring rich person’s bathroom. After all, they say money attracts money, so surely if you wipe your butt with fake money then you’ll be rolling in it in no time! Take some time out on your bathroom break to do some serious get-rich-quick visualization. I can’t make any promises – but who knows, it could work! If it does, don’t forget who helped you get to the top. I accept Visa.
1. BACON BALM
Have you ever met a person that doesn’t like bacon? If you have, I bet you didn’t like them (just kidding, we still love you veggies). Can you imagine kissing someone with bacon lip balm? I can’t say I’ve ever had the experience myself, but I bet it would be interstellar. If you’re the wearer, you get to walk around licking your lips and tasting bacon any time you like. Lunch hour be damned. Break the rules! A whole stick of bacon deliciousness can be yours for just $4.80. Personally, I think I’ll hold off until they make a bacon and maple syrup one, because that’s my jam. Happy shopping!
