Let's face it: lately, things have been pretty meh lately. Tense. Overwhelming. So given all the stress afoot in today's world, isn't it about time you treated yourself? Yep. And you can do so without breaking the bank, too — if you indulge in these fun products on Amazon Prime under $11.

Yes, the products on this list are guaranteed to bring a smile to your face — take this tea infuser that's llama-shaped, for example. If you enjoy a brisk cup, why not add a whimsical animal to your tea service? And he's functional, too: that little guy provides darn good water circulation to give you the perfect cup every time.

Like the llama, you'll also find offbeat solutions to spark joy within your daily routine — or you'll find more affordable versions of well-known, best-selling products like this spiralizer that comes in for under $10, and practically begs for you to work more veggies into your everyday meals.

All told, you could buy everything on this list for about what it would cost to score two pairs of high-end designer denims. Which is better retail therapy, a big haul, or a pair of jeans? In the words of my personal guide to life, Iris Apfel, "More is more, and less is a bore." Go forth and shop, y'all!
