Target has an extensive collection of items at a low price that look surprisingly high-end. 

A $50 budget doesn't usually yield the most stylish results—unless, of course, you're taking that budget to Target. Between stocking a selection of carefully curated brands and selling its own products across the home, lifestyle, and fashion spaces, the retailer makes affordable shopping easier than ever. There's an impressive collection of kitchen gadgets that you'll actually want to display on your counters. There are brightly colored accessories that'll help you welcome warmer weather in style. There are even a few pieces for the tech lover, such as retro-inspired record players decked out with modern touches and waterproof wireless headphones. Whether you're looking for a gift or just want to treat yourself to a little something, suffice it to say this is the place to look.

The only downside? There's a lot to look through. To that end, we've pulled together 50 of our favorite items under $50 that look surprisingly high-end; shop our picks, ahead.
