37 Amazon Products I've Purchased and Loved This Year

I like to think I've got good taste. It's part of the reason my job involves recommending Amazon products; I'm pretty good at sifting through junk to find treasure. So when I say that I'm absolutely in love with the products I've picked for this list, I'm not kidding. These are the creme-de-la-creme, the top of the back, the very best of the very best that I've bought in the past year — so don't be surprised if you add more than a few to your cart.

But if you can only pick one thing? Make it the breathable underwear I decided to try out a while back. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I can't live without them, and they've been a total lifesaver in hot weather. Besides — thousands of people agree with me on how amazing they are. And if you give 'em a try out yourself, I'm sure you'll agree, too.

We hope you find these products as awesome as we do. Just an FYI: We are a participant in the Amazon affiliate program, and may receive a share of sales from links on this page. Prices on Amazon fluctuate so anything mentioned below might change as soon we publish it!

I am no longer removing massive amounts of hair from the shower drain on a daily basis!"

Even though it looks like a funky travel pillow, this inflatable neck support is so much more than that.

All I had to do was pour the powder packet down my drain — that alone was effective enough to unclog my bathtub. But if you've got a real stubborn blockage?

I have this organizer in one of my cabinets. Not only is it made from tough steel, but it's sturdy enough to hold those extra-thick plates that have some real weight to them. And if you don't need to store plates? It also works great with baking trays, lids, and more.

When I'm feeling impatient and want to get rid of my gel nails right now, I'll reach for this bottle of polish remover.

These Blue Apples That Help Keep Your Greens Fresh

Via Amazon

As part of my kitchen clean-up, I added these little blue apples to those produce bins I showed you earlier.

I'm sure your schedule is just as hectic as mine, which means this magnetic calendar is definitely one of the must-have items on this list.

Drinking out of plastic water bottles is a total waste — whereas this bottle bottle isn't just reusable, it's also insulated. Cold drinks will stay chilled for up to 24 hours, while hot soups (or even tea) will stay warm for up to 12. And since it's made from stainless steel, don't even think about it breaking.

These Peels Make Your Feet Oh-So Smooth

Not only does this candle smell heavenly, but it also contains citronella to help keep mosquitoes away while you're relaxing outside. And if you aren't into the soothing aroma of watermelon and hibiscus? Choose from three others — including one called "sparkling lemongrass."

"It's gentle enough to use every time you water them if you water them properly."

A Water Bottle That's Made For Dogs

Via Amazon

Just fill this dog water bottle up, then give it a squeeze to send all that water flowing into the built-in dish. It's easier for your dogs to drink from than cupping your hands — and it ensures they get more water while they're at it. Plus, all parts detach for easy cleaning.

This Seat Cover That Saves Your Upholstery From Pets

Via Amazon

You don't have to put up with scratched leather, or even rampant dog hair in your car — just lay this cover down over the backseat.

He'd talk about how he likes that it keeps him from falling down into the foot space in front of the seats.

An Incense Burner That'll Fit In Your Bathroom

I have this incense burner sitting on the back of my toilet. It's great for getting rid of unpleasant smells, and it even looks cute while doing it. "This burner is mesmerizing," wrote one reviewer.

These Beads That Get Oddly-Shaped Glassware Spotless

Via Amazon

I've been a big fan of these cleaning beads for a year now, and not just because they're available for less than $15. Add them to any oddly-shaped glassware with a little soapy water, then give them a swish — they'll gradually etch away at dirt and grime as they pass over it. And since they're made from stainless steel, they won't begin to rust over time.
