Alright, we’ve already talked about how Amazon beauty rocks my world, wallet and makes my very erratic schedule seem possible. The next part of this that we need to talk about his how much I get from Amazon home. I pretty much got daily deliveries when I got my first place. From paper towels to what I thought was an essential item such as overly expensive shelf liner that got torn up within a day, they delivered it. I got very familiar with my delivery people.
I do feel like I need to sort of confess sometimes feel a little weird about supporting Amazon. They acquired Ring which is a direct competitor to my employer. Oy. It was quite a day at work when we found that out, however, at the end of the day, we’re all still using Amazon. Especially when stuff from Amazon home makes my life so easy. I just don’t support Ring I’ve decided. Or justified.
The Best Amazon Home Purchases
I bought two sets of these chairs for my house and I can’t say enough good things about them. I get a lot of compliments on them and they add the perfect modern touch to my decor. They frequently go on sale so I’d say that if you see them under $90, don’t wonder if they are going to get cheaper, instantly buy them!
There is some assembly required, but it took me less than an hour to put all of them together and I did it all by myself! I also love these because I’ve had family dinners where kids have spilled things and they are super easy to clean. I still had my parents hand-me-down table so I wanted a way to modernize it and just swapping out two of the chairs made it go from 90’s to mid-century.
Plants – We Need to Discuss This!
Where was Amazon plants when I was buying all my first home plants?!? YOU CAN GET A FIDDLE LEAF FIG FOR $30! I had to wait for a plant sale a local nursery here and then on top of that, spend a bunch of money on other plants that didn’t even make it! Amazon clearly knows that us Millennial women are just a bunch of crazy plant ladies and honestly? I’ve never really felt more understood. Sometimes you just need a plant to make your day better! This red hydrangea bush was $45 at Lowes and it’s freaking $25! My next plant is going to be this lil guy and I know just the place for him!
These Incredible $24.99 Sheets
Listen I know, it sounds sketch, but these are some of the best sheets I have ever owned. They are regularly $90 but on Amazon you can get them for next to nothing. A friend recommended them to me and I skeptically purchased them and then have been recommending them ever since. If you’re a college student, I highly, highly recommend them to make your budget feel like a million bucks.
Please file this under $10 purchases that you never thought you’d get excited about. I HATE pot lids and storage because I have so little of it and I feel like I can never organize it well enough. It’s just completely stupid how much better your life is when you have your pot lids organized. OH! And if you want your life to get even better, get this POT AND LID ORGANIZER!
I have made GREAT strides in not having 50 pairs of shoes, but things happen. This organizer is fantastic, doesn’t take up that much room and also has slats to keep your heels to not slide down and fall. It’s a real first world problem, but I struggle with finding the perfect shoe organizer.
I think this has actually saved my relationship with the boyfriend. I love Sherlock so much and he’s a short-hair, but man do dogs (and myself) lose a lot of hair! We spent so much time sweeping, sweeping, sitting down to enjoy life, then seeing more hair. This is a knock-off of a Roomba, but it’s amazing and one of the highest rated ones on Amazon.
I thought I was on top of sweeping until this thing came into my life. Turns out I was apparently living in filth, or so I felt when I saw what it picked up after three hours of going around the house. It has been worth every single penny and I have also made friends and family get it and their lives are better now too!
I did not and do not have the money to buy a super nice mattress. In fact, I have a used mattress. Yet I’ve gotten numerous compliments from guests that my mattress feels INCREDIBLE. I swear it’s because of this foam topper that I randomly found and it made my mattress feel brand new. I was just browsing the amazon home section and thought, “Sure, why not it’s cheap” and years later it’s still highly recommended.
At some point I have to cut this list off. I’m sure I’ll have a follow-up on this because my Amazon finds never cease to amaze me. I’m sure I’ll end up updating this list quite frequently, but these are the items that have totally made my life better!
