Twelve bag charms under $30 sorted by Amazon star rating, from 4.7 stars to 4.3, with the review counts behind each one.
The Best Reviewed Bag Charms Under $30
Cheap, and actually liked
I wanted to know which cheap bag charms people are happy with, so I pulled twelve from Amazon that cost under $30 and sorted them by star rating. Everything here has hundreds or thousands of reviews, with ratings from 4.3 to 4.7 stars. Cheap listings tend to cluster in that range, so I treat the top row as the safest buys and the bottom row as fine for a trial.
4.7 stars: the safest buys
The top row has a strawberry bee and a cherry pair at $4.99 and $5.99, a plush bunny at $6.99 and a Hello Kitty mascot holder at $13.50, all at 4.7 stars. The Hello Kitty has more than 2,300 reviews, which makes it the most trusted one here. If you want one charm and no regrets, start in this row.
4.6 stars: still easy
A strawberry daisy, a gold cherry, a bow and cherry initial charm and a pom pom tassel all sit at 4.6 stars and cost $5.99 to $8.95. The pom pom tassel has more than 4,000 reviews, the most on the page. These are the ones I would clip to a tote, since a pom pom hides a lot of wear.
4.5 stars and under: fine for trying a trend
The last row has a fuzzy heart, two balloon dogs and a leather clochette at 4.3 to 4.5 stars and $5.99 to $23. Balloon dogs have about 1,700 reviews at 4.3, so they are loved with a few complaints. I would buy one of these if I wanted the look for a weekend and not a year.
How I would read the stars
At this price a 4.6 is a good result, and a charm with thousands of reviews tells you more than one with a perfect score. Buy from the top row and you will rarely be disappointed.
