31 Affordable Luxuries You Deserve To Own

There are some things that you buy solely because you need them. Toilet paper, dish soap, toothpaste — that sort of thing. They're all very useful and practical and important, so that's just fine. But they're not exactly fun to shop for. They're not that fun to use, either!

In my opinion, the best sort of shopping is done when you're buying things to enjoy. Products that will actively make you feel better or more comfortable in your home. After all, everyone deserves to treat themselves to something pretty and nice every once in a while.

I've found that buying things online is in itself something of a treat for me. Getting dressed, driving to the store, finding a parking spot, going into the store, finding the product, checking out, driving home...whew! It's quite the process. I much prefer to just order something on Amazon and have it arrive right outside my door in a matter of days.

If you're looking for some luxurious items that are also super affordable, you're in luck! I've found 31 of them! So go ahead and treat yourself!

You Need This Tea Kettle for Your Next Tea Party

via: Amazon

Technically, all you need to make some tea is a way to heat up some water. Even the microwave will do! But it won't make you feel happy and fancy. This tea kettle will! It's made of heavy gauge porcelain on steel for an ultra luxurious finish that won't fade or chip. The handle folds down which makes it easier to fill the kettle with water. It's also available in 12 different colors — my favorites are the pink and the seafoam!

It even comes with slips of paper to write your message!

Packing your lunch in a cute little bag is a great way to encourage you to actually bring a lunch from home instead of going out for lunch every day.

The interior is insulated to keep everything cool, and it has a handle on the lid to make it super easy to carry with you to and from work.

This Matcha Bowl Is So Delicate and Lovely

This Travel French Press Is Great for Coffee Lovers with a Commute

via: Amazon

French press coffee is some of the best coffee out there, but not all of us have the time to make it before we leave for work. This mug fixes that issue! Simply add your coffee grounds and hot water, let it brew, then lower the plunger to get rid of the grounds! It also works with looseleaf tea and can even keep cold drinks cold, if that’s more your style. But is it dishwasher safe? You bet it is!

This Vintage-Inspired Alarm Clock Is Just Darling

via: Amazon

Sure, your cell phone has a built-in alarm, but do you really want to start every single day by reaching for your phone? I inevitably end up scrolling through Instagram for a few minutes before I finally get out of bed, and then regret that I didn't get up right away. This alarm clock doesn't tick (which is perfect for light sleepers) but has an alarm that even the deepest sleeper won't be able to ignore. It also has a button for the backlight, in case you wake up in the middle of the night and want to know the time without turning on your bedroom light.

This Popcorn Popper Works in the Microwave

via: Amazon

Is there a snack that is better than popcorn? I don't think so. (Unless you're having Peanut M&Ms in your popcorn.) This listing is for a set of two popcorn poppers, each of which pops a single serving of popcorn. Simply pour unpopped popcorn kernels into the integrated kernel-measuring base and pop the entire thing in the microwave — no oil required! After a few minutes, you'll have fresh, ready-to-eat popcorn. All you need to do is add the butter and salt (and Peanut M&Ms, if you know what's good for ya).

These Cooking Utensils Are Magnetic!

via: Amazon

I don't know about you, but my cooking utensil drawer is always sort of a disaster. No matter how often I organize it, it eventually ends up being a jumbled mess and a spatula always manages to block the drawer from opening completely. The brilliance of this set of cooking utensils is in the handles — they're magnetic! The five different ultra-thin utensils stack together and stay together with the power of magnets, and honestly I'm just shocked I don't already have this.

Whether you're serving orange juice with breakfast, lemonade with lunch, or wine at dinner, this carafe has got your back.

Best of all, the entire thing is dishwasher-safe!

Next time you sit down to play a card game with your friends, try breaking out these guys and just wait for the jaws to drop. They're just so pretty!

Each of the face cards has an intricate engraving to give it some extra pizzazz.

This Magnetic Hourglass Is a Great Desktop Gadget

Regular hourglasses don’t even impress me anymore. This one has magnetized iron filings in it that build amazing stalagmites in the bottom bell whenever you flip it. Super cool, right?

This Clear Bubble Umbrella Is Adorable

via: Amazon

Rainy days can sometimes be a bit of a drag, but if you have an umbrella this adorable, you’ll probably actually start looking forward to the drizzle. Not only is the design super cute; it also provides several perks that standard umbrellas don’t. First of all,  maximum protection against the rain. Secondly, it’s totally see-through so you can always see where you’re going! Finally, the curved shape is much less likely to flip inside-out from strong gusts of wind.

This Pour-Over Coffee Maker Has a Permanent Filter

via: Amazon

If you're using a traditional coffee maker (with pre-ground coffee!), you are missing out, my friend. Switch to a French Press or a pour-over method like this coffee maker provides! Most pour-over coffee makers require paper filters, but those can trap the oils from your coffee which enhance the flavor. This coffee maker includes a stainless steel mesh filter that results in a beautiful slow brew that even the pickiest coffee drinkers will enjoy. It's also dishwasher-safe, which is obviously ideal.

Yeah, you could just squeeze that lime or lemon over your food. You could even buy the stuff in the fruit-shaped bottles. But if you want to feel a little fancier, you should get a citrus reamer. I think this one — carved from olive wood — is absolutely beautiful. You just know that any orange juice made with this thing would taste better than all other orange juices, right?

There's something so calming and peaceful about a bonsai tree. This listing is for a juniper bonsai tree that's approximately three years old and between 4 and 6 inches tall.

Putting on an apron may seem like one of those things that's a little "extra," but it really makes you feel like you're some kind of super chef!

I think Gordon Ramsay would approve.

Right now, my coffee mug collection is a mixture of funny ones I found at a thrift store and sentimental ones I picked up at various tourist destinations. But this? This is, like, the quintessential coffee mug. It's a coffee mug that adults pick out for their home because it matches the decor of their kitchen. It has such a bold design — and I love that handle definitely looks large enough to accommodate all your fingers! It's also both dishwasher- and microwave-safe (and available in three different colors).

This three-legged table would make a great nightstand, but the possibilities definitely don't end there. It would also be great as a plant stand in your living room or sunroom!

There's no reason why you have to wait to be a bridesmaid in a wedding to get your very own satin kimono. This one costs less than 20 bucks and is hella stylish. It's available in several different colors, too. I love the 3/4 length sleeves — long enough to give you some coverage, but they won't end up in your mug of coffee. This robe can also be machine washed. Bonus!

This Table Lamp Looks Way Pricier Than It Is

via: Amazon

It's currently listed for just over 20 bucks! I mean, come on. Most lamps are at least twice that. The linen shade provides a very crisp and clean look and the antislip pedestal means you don't have to worry about knocking it over every time you walk by. I think this lamp could work in pretty much any bedroom, living room, or office. I'm tempted to buy several of them right now, actually...

This Hamper Might Actually Convince You to Do Your Laundry

via: Amazon

I don't think anyone actually enjoys doing laundry, but there are definitely steps you can take toward making it less awful. Like getting a nice hamper, for instance!

The lid also features a magnetic closure, which will keep everything look neat and tidy.
