I don’t know about you, but it’s reeeeaaally hard for me to scroll past an article on “random Amazon finds” without clicking on it.
I’ve spent countless hours down the rabbit hole of Amazon…reading reviews, comparing items, finding myself searching for the best trampolines when I started out looking for sunscreen. I don’t know how it happens but, needless to say, I’ve found a few gems myself over the years thanks to all the time I’ve wasted spent on that site.
Last year I shared 15 of my favorite Amazon finds that I would buy over and over again (and still stand by ALL of those things!), and I recently realized that since then, I’d amassed quite a few — but totally random — new finds to share with you guys.
10 Game-Changing Amazon Finds That I Have & Swear By
Not everything I try makes the list. This hair-removal device, for example… Despite the great reviews, I was pretty underwhelmed. And this MacBook case…the patterns are gorgeous, but the bottom just falls right off…?
But the 10 below, I can vouch for myself. They’re the must-haves I’ve found and loved from Amazon over the past year!
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10
1. Short Booties
I found these cute faux-shearling boots when I was looking for the mini UGG boots that were sold out everywhere — and these were almost $100 cheaper. Reviewers loved these, and they had me at “memory foam…” 😂 (Also in a shorter version.)
2. Vegetable Chopper
I cannot chop onions without my eyes burning…at all. I bought this vegetable chopper mainly for that problem, but I love all of the extra blades it comes with — especially the slicer and shredder. And all the blades fit into the container for easy storage. LOVE this one. (Especially at the current sale price of under $20!)
3. Lumify Eye Drops
Technically these are redness-reliever drops, but I started using them after brain surgery for dry eyes and have continued ever since. These Lumify drops sooth dry, scratchy eyes and help when they get tired from staring at my monitor screen. (And they really do brighten and whiten eyes!)
4. Amazon Basics Weights
I’ve been doing Peloton workouts for awhile now — everything from Arms & Light Weights classes, which require 1-, 2- or 3-pound weights, to Glutes & Legs classes, which require heavier ones. I don’t want to spend a ton of money on weights, and I’ve found that the dumbbells from Amazon are the most cost-effective ones I can find. These have amazing reviews and are available in sets from 1 pound up to 20.
5. Collapsible Storage Bins
I have white storage cubes from Target and have slowly replaced all of the cheap fabric bins with these sturdier ones from Amazon. I love the way they elevate the entire look, and they also hold a ton of stuff. I have Lego in one, library books in another, art supplies in another…they’re a great way to eliminate all of the clutter and keep things organized (especially with kids and toys!).
6. TOZO Earbuds
I’ve been using TOZO earbuds for years now, and they keep getting better and better. I love the transparency mode/noise cancellation you can choose from, as well as the charging case that holds 30 hours of listening time… But the best part is the price — at $20 a pop, I don’t freak out if I lose one! (There’s even a waterproof option that’s currently on sale for $26!)
7. Charcoal Toothbrushes
I’ve been using my Sonicare toothbrush for a couple of years now, but when the pressure sensor recently stopped working, I didn’t want to shell out more $$ for a new one — nor did I have time to troubleshoot the problem (apparently there’s a way to recalibrate it). I heard these charcoal toothbrushes actually help whiten teeth, and at less than $3 a brush I thought I’d give them a try. Now Greenlea and I are both using them — and they work!
8. Sneaker-Cleaning Wipes
I hate dirty sneakers. I tried using Magic Erasers, but they’d start to disintegrate when I started to really scrub my shoes. These sneaker-cleaning wipes are awesome because they don’t fall apart with scrubbing, and they can be thrown into your bag for on-the-go cleaning (always better to get a spot out immediately rather than let it sit and stain).
9. American Girl ‘The Body Book For Girls’
American Girl “The Body Book for Girls”
Greenlea-approved…I originally found “The Body Book for Girls” via Annemarie’s recommendation, and after reading the reviews, I bought the younger-girl version for G. I’ll be buying the second one soon…
10. Water-Bottle Organizer
I have a love-hate relationship with water bottles. Love to use them, hate to store them. One topples over, and they all go down…this organizer makes it easy to access them without taking up a ton of space. It has great reviews and is currently on sale for $15!
Let me know of your recent game-changing, must-have finds from Amazon… I love finding hidden gems that make life easier!
XOXO,
Scotti

Lumify IS amazing, but with all the artificial tear recalls lately (see link below) of tears sold via Amazon, it might be safer to buy those directly from the pharmacy!
