Amazon has had countless deals in the last few weeks, many of which are from the retailer’s Book Sale and Summer Beauty Event. But you don’t have to shop only these sales for worthwhile, affordable finds. I’ve done some digging and rounded up 19 products that range from basic problem-solvers to inexpensive decor. While you’re at it, click here for last month’s list of Amazon steals (which includes a whitening toothpaste that’s all the rage right now) and check out our Amazon storefront.

A portable mini fridge…
If you’re a full-time Beverage Girlie™, you’d benefit from this tiny fridge. It’s only two pounds, and you can adjust the temperature to ensure your afternoon Diet Coke is the perfect level of crispy. It’ll fit up to a gallon of food and beverages, and it has warming capabilities, too. We suggest putting it in a car for road trips or in a bedroom — really anywhere you’d like to store cold drinks. ($24.99, Amazon)

An accent mirror that looks expensive…
When I first saw this amorphous accent mirror, I thought that it came from Urban Outfitters or Areaware. With a piece like this, you get a functional mirror and a piece of artwork in one. I love how unique it is, plus it’s just under $100. It’s great for over a bathroom sink or for an entryway. ($99.99, Amazon)

A rechargeable lantern you'll reach for all summer…
Our editors are obsessed with Glocusent for its affordable book lights, and this lantern-sized version is perfect for the warmer months. Use it for outdoor dinners at home, camping trips, or blackout emergencies. It has four light modes, including one for intense fog. ($19.99, Amazon)

A gardening kit under $20…
I was just thinking about how it’s time for me to stop using my kitchen scissors when making floral arrangements at home. This affordable kit comes with plant-friendly cutting sheers, two shovels, a tool to loosen soil, and a mister bottle. It’s the best option if you’re new to gardening or plant-parenting, or if you want to keep some basic tools on hand. ($17.99, Amazon)

A bestselling cap for migraines…
People go crazy for this cooling cap-mask hybrid from TheraICE. It has over 30,000 five-star reviews on Amazon because it provides ample relief to those who struggle with intense headaches. You can wear it like a sleeping mask over your eyes or as a forehead wrap. It’ll provide 360-degree cooling relief after keeping it in the freezer for up to two hours. ($59.50, Amazon)

A multiuse blender…
I love a kitchen tool like this if you’re tight on space or are generally new to cooking. This one from Mueller has a stainless steel base, but you can rotate between its three attachments. You’ll get an immersion blender, milk frother, and hand mixer in one. ($39.99, Amazon)

A skincare duo from a brand that’s gone viral…
When I write these Amazon lists every month, I’m always surprised by how many popular brands are available on the retailer. This month, I realized you can buy Summer Fridays on Prime. I’m currently eyeing this duo, which comes with the brand’s bestselling Jet Lag Mask and a hydrating cleanser. ($84, Amazon)

A retinol-based moisturizer…
I’m new to adding retinol into my rotation, and this moisturizer from TruSkin looks like it’d be great for beginners. It has retinol and hyaluronic acid, along with vitamins B and E, so it’s exfoliating without totally stripping your skin. Skimm’rs love its vitamin C serum, too. ($26.99, Amazon)

The phone sling countless celebrities love…
I will listen to anything Martha Stewart says, so if she loves this phone sling, I love this phone sling. While this accessory is definitely pricey, it’s worth it if you always find yourself forgetting your phone. You can wear the sling for moments when you need to be hands-free, or remove it and leave the case on as is. It even has a secure slot for cards. ($118, Amazon)

A kitchen soap with a distinct formula…
This Naomi soap isn’t just any average hand soap. It was formulated by Michelin-star restaurant cooks who know how much care goes into taking care of your skin pre- and post-cooking. It has a two-stage odor control formula to both break down odors and then scrub them away (ahem, seafood and garlic). Not to mention, fragrances like cardamom and iris, and bergamot and black pepper make it feel luxurious. ($25, Amazon)

Your jarred tomato sauce, taken up a notch…
If you too were devastated when Rao’s was acquired by Campbell’s, I have the swap for you. These jarred sauces from Sauz are made of small batch, 100% natural ingredients. I’m currently loving this Creamy Calabrian Vodka Sauce for quick and delicious dinners at home, but you can’t go wrong with their four other flavors. ($24.99, Amazon)

A durable phone case with a built-in stand…
This MagSafe case has reinforced corners to keep your phone protected. Its magnetic O-shaped stand allows you to easily hold your phone between your fingers, prop it up on a table, or keep it secure on a GPS holder. ($27.99, Amazon)

A gift that’ll ship fast…
Inexpensive wedding gift alert. This gold heart-shaped frame from Amazon is a sweet and easy option. You can give it to them as is, or add a photo for a sentimental touch. ($29.20, Amazon)

A drying mat that isn’t ugly…
Many of the drying mats that actually work tend to be an eyesore. This checkered one is absorbent, quick-drying, and adds some extra flair to your countertop. Pick from two sizes and eight colors. ($12.99, Amazon)

The design-forward blender I’m eyeing…
With the weather warming up, I’m getting back into making smoothies at home, and I’m in desperate need of a new blender. This chic Beast Blender comes with three vessel sizes and a straw cap, so you can blend, add your lid, and go. I hate cleaning my blender after I use it, so this seems like an ideal one-step fix. ($149, Amazon)

A rechargeable foot file…
After getting tons of targeted Instagram ads, I’ve been using one of these for the last month, and it’s a game changer. It’s a noteworthy swap for expensive pedicures and requires minimal effort. Use light pressure along any dry, cracked spots, and you’ll have smooth feet in minutes. ($19.18, Amazon)

An affordable makeup brush set from Real Techniques…
I will forever be a Real Techniques fanatic. Its brushes are soft, high-quality, affordable, and last for years. This new-to-me set comes with three double-ended eye brushes and an eyelash curler. I’m in the market for a new lash curler, brow spoolie, and concealer brush, so I’ll be picking this up ASAP. ($15.99, Amazon)

A tool to keep your sheets in place…
My fiancé is a human tornado, so I’ve been looking for products to help keep our bed neatly made. These Zlumber Locks are plastic pieces that lock onto each corner of your mattress. To use, place the plastic corner base onto mattress corners and make your bed. Then, place the corresponding locking strip on top. It’ll click into place and keep your sheets secure. ($59.99, Amazon)

A set of lights that turn your shower into a lightshow…
I’m not going to lie: I was skeptical when my boss put me onto these shower lights. While I wrote in our newsletter that they are giving frat boy energy (they are), they’re an inexpensive way to add some relaxation into your routine. They don’t require any tools to install, are renter-friendly, and allow you to select from 15 different colors and two cycling modes. Control them via the remote control or touch-sensitive panel they come with. ($29.99, Amazon)
