Oh Amazon, what would we do without you? I mean truly, what was life like before the convenience and quickness of Amazon? It still is a bit wild to me that we can order things in the morning and have them at our doorstep in the afternoon.
Needless to say, especially in the last two years, I’ve placed tons of Amazon orders, and come across some tried and true favorite Amazon purchases. Whether it’s household gadgets, fashion or lifestyle products, I’ve rounded up my favorite Amazon purchases below for y’all with a description of each, along with why I love them.
If you’d like to see more of my Amazon favorites, be sure to bookmark my Amazon store front – a one stop spot for all the items that have caught my eye or I’ve personally purchased from Amazon.
Mesh storage bags
I love these affordable storage bags! Lightweight and come in a variety of sizes. I regularly use them for storing my needlepoint projects. However, lately I’ve also been using them for holding baby items on the go. Great for organizing within your bags and totes.

wet brush hair brush
I’ve always had ultra fine hair, and lots of it. SO when I get out of the shower after washing my hair, it’s usually a tangled mess. This wet brush is the only brush that gets the knots out, quickly and without pain. I’ve tried all the brushes, Mason Pearson, Drybar’s brush and the regular wet brush. This Shine Enhancer Wet Brush is the real deal and under $10.

shower drain hair catcher
As mentioned above, I have a lot of hair and our shower drain was constantly filled with hair and any other drain cover I utilized never worked. This shower drain hair catcher is the only one I’ve found to actually work! It covers the entire drain, doesn’t rust and actually catches the hair. A definite must for your shower, comes in two sizes as well.

silicone kitchen sink organizer tray
We recently redid our kitchen and I wanted an organizer tray that was functional but also subtle. This tray has been the perfect, affordable find. It can be popped in the dishwasher and the water it collects dries nicely when sitting at my sink. It’s the perfect size for both the hand soap, dish soap, a dish brush and sponge. It also doesn’t slip along the counter space and stays put. Comes in a variety of sizes and colors.

portable apple watch charger
This was a find! I always struggled with remembering to bring along my apple watch charger on trips. This portable Apple watch charger is the perfect on-the-go gadget. It’s compact in nature (no need to remember a cord!) and it can charge off a computer, an iPad, etc. I just toss it in my purse and keep it with me at all times. You can catch an Instagram reels video I made with it on my account.

bug Katchy machine
My number 1 Amazon purchase, the Bug Katchy machine. This bug catcher is the real deal. It catches all the flying pests – gnats, mosquitoes, even flies. Plug it in by the door or in your kitchen (that’s where ours is), turn it on in the evenings and it does the rest of the work. The light attracts the bugs and ultimately sucks them down the funnel and catches them on the sticky board at the bottom of the machine. Simply swap out the sticky boards every month or so. I’ve had this machine now for over a year and it’s still going strong! Worth every penny and more, especially with all the mosquitoes in Houston.

earbud cleaners
One of those purchases that everyone needs. Why are earbuds so hard to clean? Grab these as stocking stuffers or just a thinking of you gift for everyone you know. They’ll thank you later.

yearly planner
My favorite planner, four years in a row. I absolutely love this planner. I don’t have a need for weekly pages, I simply keep track of all my appointments and tasks in the monthly pages. It’s sleek, professional and lightweight. I’ll continue to purchase this planner yearly – it’s affordable too!

affordable massage gun
I gifted Rick this massage gun and it’s one of his favorites from Amazon. I did quite a bit of research and almost splurged on the expensive name-brand massage guns, but I’m so glad I found this one instead. Affordable, yet powerful. It gets the job done, maintains its charge for weeks on end and comes with some useful massage heads. He uses this gadget weekly, if not daily. An excellent gift idea for guys or your athlete children.

3/4 length leggings
I’ll forever be a fan of Lululemon leggings, but the price tag still continues to get me. Enter these Amazon leggings that feel and look just like the Lulu leggings, but at a fraction of the price. I LOVE these leggings and now own 3 pairs. They wash super well and wear even better. They’re buttery soft and actually stay up on your waist. Plus they’re compression, but not too tight like some other higher-end brands. Run true to size, I take a small.
