These Under-$25 Buys Are Kind Of Perfect

Life is expensive. Student loans, rent, phone bills, groceries — it's no wonder we spend our hard-earned paychecks so quickly. And, who could forget little splurges like Ubers, dining out, and, of course, shoes? We could go on, but let's talk about something decidedly more budget-friendly, instead: those small indulgences we purchase to brighten our days. Because, well, pug-print socks will do that for you.

We asked our staff for their go-to, under-$25 buys, and got some interesting responses. Some are kind of random (produce-preserving disks), some are super convenient (thermal socks), and some are seemingly frivolous (until now). Ahead, check out our favorite affordable picks. They're reason enough to treat yourself to Seamless tonight.
