    44 Products Under $20 So Useful, You Might Even Shed A Tear

    Because useful *and* cheap is the best kind of product.

    1. A container of Museum Gel that'll successfully foil your cat's plans of knocking over all of your beautiful decorative pieces in the living room. You basically apply the clear adhesive to the bottom of glass or crystal and it'll stay locked in place on any surface.

    2. A magnetic cloud key holder, which is just the cutest way of making sure you never lose your keys again. You just need to remember to put them here...

    3. A desktop vacuum cleaner because we spend at least eight hours at our desk working (and snacking), which means crumbs happen. This mini vacuum will suck up all the crud, keeping the work station clean and ready to be used. Long story short, yes, you can go back to eating your Nature Valley bars with confidence.

    5. A jewelry-cleaning brush because you'd be surprised at how dingy your jewelry actually is. It's time to let your ring 🎵 shine bright like a (literal) diamond 🎵.
