Has it been a month already? I guess so … because it’s time for the May edition of everyone’s favorite affordable shopping series.

20 Under $20

It’s no surprise to anyone that costs for everyday goods remain higher than we're comfortable with. But that doesn't mean there aren't good bargains to be found. You just have to know where to look. Thankfully, you've come to the right place. For our May edition of '20 Under $20', we've unearthed a wide variety of goods, that can all be purchased with that Andrew Jackson in your wallet. And just because they don't cost much doesn't mean they're cheap.

Computer Brief leather briefcase, $895 by Shinola

Huckberry's curated picks for graduation gifts strike the perfect balance between practical and elevated—just right for the guy ready to level up. Options include Shinola's leather briefcase (a timeless piece that blends utility with boardroom polish), sophisticated fragrances and versatile blazers. But we also like the selection of cigars, inspired by Hemingway's wisdom. It's the kind of gift that says “grown man” more than “college kid”. Pair that with a leather-wrapped flask or a solid brass bottle opener, and you've got a celebratory setup worthy of the milestone.

Think Skims is just for the ladies? Men love the support and lightweight feel of the brand’s boxer briefs. The only downside is that they’re not cheap. But now you can try them for 60% off.
