Legit these are the best things I’ve bought on Amazon! I’d buy them all again!
This Magnetic Car Mount
Change your life for less than $10 and buy yourself a magnetic car mount for your phone. I am not exaggerating when I say that this was the best decision I ever made. Simply adhere a thin magnet to the back of your phone, and it sticks right on.
This Dotted Journal
I bullet journal, and this is by far my favorite journal for that. It’s great for planning or journaling. I think I’m on my third one. It comes in a lot of fun colors, and it has numbered pages, a built-in index, and two bookmarks!
This Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set
It’s weird how quickly this mat and pillow can relieve neck and back pain. Like, I think it might be witchcraft.
This Tea Infuser
While those silicone tea steepers are fun, if you are a serious tea enthusiast, it doesn’t get much better than the Finum mesh basket. It’s big enough to let those leaves breathe, but it’s small enough to fit inside your mug.
This Fabric Tape
If you need to hold up a temporary seam or close the space between buttons on a shirt (shout out to women with big chests!), this fashion tape is a total must.
This Fountain Pen
I love my Pilot Metropolitan fountain pen! It makes me feel like a fancy lady any time I write, even though I am definitely not a fancy lady.
This Fuzzy Hooded Cardigan
Full disclosure: I put this magical, soft hoodie in an article, and then I loved it so much I bought myself one. It’s the perfect cozy sweatshirt for lounging around the house and pretending you’re a yeti, which I do surprisingly often.
This Milk Frother
You too can make yourself fancy lattés at home! Forget spending $6 every time you want a fancy drink. This milk frother brings the luxury home.
These Lined Post-It Sheets
These are basically postcard-sized lined Post-Its. They’re absolutely perfect for to-do lists and shopping lists. I use them every week to plan my tasks and shopping.
These Toe Liner Socks
If you love a mule or a slide, as I do, these little toe socks are for you! They have little rubber pads on the bottom to prevent them from slipping, and they really work.
This Natural Deodorant
It’s time to make the switch to natural deodorant, y’all! No more cancer-causing aluminum in your antiperspirant! I’ve switched to Schmidt’s, and I like their sensitive skin formula in the jasmine tea scent, but they have a ton of cool scents, and it really works.
This Apricot Face Wash
St. Ives apricot face scrub has been part of my skincare routine for years. It exfoliates nicely and has a lovely, earthy scent.
This Canvas Apron
My fiancé bought this waxed canvas apron, which is great for cooking, grilling, and honestly, any outdoor activity that you don’t want to get dirty doing.
This Laptop Case
I love this woodgrain laptop case that protects my MacBook Air and also blends into the woods around me. OK, that last part isn’t exactly true.
This Cold Brew Coffee Maker
You can save yourself so much money on coffee by brewing your own, and this cold brew maker is simple, effective and makes delicious java.
These Softcover Notebooks
Moleskine notebooks have a rep for being journals for hipsters. But you know what? Hipsters aren’t wrong about everything. These softcover notebooks are perfect for journaling or note-taking. They just are!
This Apple Charging Station
This charging station will literally charge all of your Apple devices at one time. Do you know how many outlets that opens up?
This Space Pen
The bullet space pen can write at any angle, it’s highly portable, and it comes in a bunch of different colors. This is a total classic.
This Folding Pocket Knife
I’m not a knife person, but my fiancé has this knife, and he loves it. It’s super compact and utilitarian and he gets a lot of use out of it.
This Waxed Canvas Lunch Bag
This lunch bag holds your whole meal, and it looks like a brown paper bag, but it’s not! It’s so much fancier than that.
This Beard Grooming Kit
I don’t have a mustache or a beard (yet!), but I am engaged to a person with both, and he loves Kent combs. They’re perfect, classy, and classic.
These Surgical Tweezers
I don’t have a mustache or a beard, but that’s because I do have a great pair of tweezers. These surgical tweezers are extra sharp, making them perfect for removing ingrown hairs or splinters.
This Meal Planning Pad
This meal planning pad is absolutely perfect. It’s even perforated so you can rip off your shopping list and bring it with you! I already wrote out my meals and my shopping list on regular paper. This separates it all!
These Toe Stretchers
These are absolutely perfect if you suffer from bunions, foot pain, or just want to keep your toes stretched and healthy.
This Adorable Backpack
This adorable backpack comes in a few colors, is a perfect, medium size for everyday use, and is super afforable!
This Beverage Tumbler
People absolutely love Yeti tumblers because they keep your coffee hot literally all day or your water ice cold from morning until night. It’s magic, I swear. Never have I witnessed a tumbler that retains temperature as well.
The Ringer Is the Only Thing I Use to Scrub My Cast Iron Skillet
I love my cast iron skillet and am a little obsessive about keeping the seasoning in good condition. The Ringer lets me scrub any baked-on crud off of it without damaging the seasoning. I’ve been using it for several years with no complaints.
This Rainfall Shower Head That Basically Turned My Bathroom into a Spa
This was one of the first things I purchased after moving into a new apartment. I installed it myself in about five minutes and ever since, my showers are like mini getaways I get to take every day.
This Book That’s Also a Planetarium
And an instrument, and a speaker, and an infinite calendar…
I bought this book as a gift, and it was a huge hit. Every page is its own fully functional device made out of paper. It’s like a pop-up book for grown-ups (although kids would also totally get a kick out of it, I’m sure).
This Down Alternative Comforter That Is So, So Comfy
I truly can’t believe that this comforter costs less than $30 because it is the most luxurious bedding I’ve ever slept under in my life. It has loops in all four corners and all four sides so you can easily tie it into any duvet cover. I’ve had mine for about 6 months and none of the filling has become bunched up or clumpy, even after several launderings — in the washer! Because it’s machine washable.
This Vitamin C Serum That Smells Divine
I’ll be honest: The main draw of this product was the fun squeezy-top bottle that it comes with. But it also smells so great and definitely leaves my skin feeling very hydrated and nourished.
This Magnetic Cable Organizer That Keeps My Sidetable Organized
I was getting sick of having to pick all my various charger cables up off the floor, so I went searching for a solution and found this. I like the wood-grain appearance and the fact that each cable clip fits three different sizes of cables.
This Plug-in Air Sanitizera
This little sanitizer plugs directly into your outlet and sanitizes and deodorizes the air around it. I have one in both the living room and the bathroom and I think it really makes a difference in making the air feel much fresher.
The Rotring 600 Is the Best Mechanial Pencil Ever Made
Beloved by architects, designers, draftspeople, and myself, the German-engineered Rotring 600 may be the perfect writing implement. A solid brass body provides a weighty feel, which, coupled with a nicely knurled grip, allows ultra-precise use. Plus, it just looks really, really cool.
