37 Amazon Products Our Readers Were Most Curious About

One of my favorite ways to find amazing new things on Amazon is through recommendations. There are literally millions of items available on the shopping behemoth website, which means it's not really a place for casual browsing. But sometimes you just want to find something new, stumble across a great find, surprise yourself. This is why I love having someone give me a suggestion so that I can scamper off down a new and bizarre Amazon rabbit hole.

Even if you don't have buddies who are well-versed in the ways of Amazon, you do have 22 Words, which is even better. We've compiled a list of 37 absolutely amazing products that will have you feeling like you've discovered a particular secret. Now it's just up to you to pick your favorites and go exploring on Amazon. There's certainly something here for everyone, so don't worry about whether or not we have you covered.

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!

A Different Kind Of Hot Pocket

via Amazon

Before I bought this $5 find, I had a heat-resistant mat and a travel pouch for hot hair devices. Now I have one product that does both in this iron mat and pouch combo. Protect your bathroom counters from damage from heat tools and then throw your straightener in your bag (stashed inside this pouch). It's basically "have hot hair tools, will travel." Choose from gray or mint green to match your personal style.

Keep Your Dishwasher in Tip-Top Shape with this Dishwasher Cleaner

A Brush That Distributes Scalp Oil From Root To Tip

via Amazon

Scalp oil tends to accumulate at your roots unless you're using a boar bristle brush — like this one. The natural boar bristles distribute your hair's natural oils from root to tip, helping to reduce frizz and prevent breakage. And unlike some boar brushes, this one has 70% boar hair to 30% nylon bristles. Who knew that the right hairbrush could make your hair healthier?

The Scrapers That Are Tough On Everything From Stickers To Paint

via Amazon

With heavy-duty blades that power through paint, stickers, decals and stubborn bits of crud, these scrapers are must-haves — even if you don't plan on using them just yet. They're small enough to fit inside your toolbox, and the tightening knob helps ensure that the blades don't shake loose. Plus, the safety cap keeps you safe from nicks when not in use. You might think you're not going to need to scrape something nasty off a surface, but trust me: at some point in your life you will and you will be grateful for these scrapers.

This Eva Naturals Neck Cream Restores Firmness

You might be asking, do I need a separate neck cream that's different from my regular face or body cream? The answer is yes, especially when it's this neck firming cream from Eva Naturals. It's got special ingredients like peptides, hyaluronic acid, and glycolic acid to firm turkey necks and sagging jowls really fast - just ask one of their thousand + fans.

Erase the Day

via Amazon

Sure, cotton balls will get the job done, but cotton swabs might be better. And! And! Do you know what's even better than cotton swabs? A pack of liquid-filled oil-free swabs to carefully target areas where you want to remove makeup! I bought these when I could no longer find a similar product on the shelves at Walmart and they're every bit as good. Maybe better, even, because they come in a handy, pocket-sized pack.

This Eye Gel Makes You Look Younger

These Burp Cloths are Multi-Purpose

via Amazon

These burp cloths are a definite must-have for babies, who are known to spew uncontrollably in their first months until they learn how to digest (gross). The gentle muslin fabric is super-absorbent for all sorts of messes and gets softer with every wash. Plus, when the baby's done with the spitting up stage, these make excellent cleaning cloths! I'm all here for multi-purpose items.

Target Fine Lines, Puffiness, and Dark Circles With These Eye Patches

​Eye patches have quickly become my best friend. My dark circles are permanent at this point, no matter how much sleep I get (thanks, genetics).

Keep on for 10-15 minutes, and you will be shocked to see the results.

Sometimes your hair just needs a gentle mist to finish it off — and this spray bottle delivers just that. It won't produce any huge droplets that'll ruin your 'do, and it'll even work if you try using it upside-down. Or, if you don't have any hair, you can also use it to lightly mist plants (the hair of nature).

It's no secret that using a jade roller has tons of benefits for your skin: encouraging lymphatic drainage, improving circulation, and reducing puffiness, just to name a few. This jade roller can't be beaten — it's amazing quality at an even more amazing price. Tip: keep it in the fridge so that it's nice and cold while you roll.

Be the Most Organized Traveller... Ever

via Amazon

One of the most important things about a beauty routine is consistency: which means even when you're headed out of town. Whenever I'm packing for vacation, my luggage is always a disaster; I've got shampoo in one pocket, conditioner buried under my clothes, and my toothbrush is usually buried so deep I have to buy another one at my destination. This bag is my new go-to to have everything organized and where it needs to be so I can keep up with my good habits. Because who doesn't want to look good while they're on vacation?

This Mascara Primer Gives Your Lashes An Extra Boost

via Amazon

Using mascara primer is one of the easiest, fastest ways to make your lashes look longer and thicker. It not only helps your mascara stick to your lashes but over time, it also conditions for soft, nourished lashes. Apply 1-2 layers of primer before your mascara and be prepared to be WOW'd. Plus it works like any primer to help keep your product firmly in place, even if you're sweating.

These Razors For The Tight Spots Around Your Brows

via Amazon

You can't trim your brows using a regular razor unless you want to accidentally shave them off. No? Then grab these precision ones. The smaller blades are easier to maneuver around your brows — or, they'll even work great when getting rid of small patches of peach fuzz. I'm all about precision when it comes to blades near my face.

These Colorful Claw Clips are Perfect for Summer

via Amazon

I am so happy that claw clips are back in style. I have never loved my hair in a ponytail or bun, so this is such an easy way to look put together when I just don't feel like getting ready. These colorful claw clips are circulating all over Instagram and TikTok because they are colorful (and heavy-duty), making them the perfect summer accessory.

Try This For Teething

via Amazon

Teething babies are the worst. They're just so helpless and pitiful. Mimi the mushroom is a great teething device, in part, because it mimics the shape of the breast which is familiar to the baby. Small and lightweight, it's easy for the baby to hold and chew on — front to back — without risk of choking or gagging. One reviewer said, "We are now on month seven and, holy cow, is this still the best teether. My daughter won't take a paci but she uses this as one as well as a teether. This is just amazing."

This Alarm Clock Has a 2-Inch Display and USB Port

via Amazon

I was using my phone as an alarm clock, but I missed the convenience of being able to see the time at a glance without squinting or fumbling for reading glasses. This Alarm Clock is a nice-looking, no-frills clock that does its job perfectly. The display has 2-inch tall numbers so I can see it easily, and it includes a USB port for handy charging. So when I desperately want to stay in bed I can just glance up and convince myself that I do have five more minutes.

This Cetaphil Baby Wash Smells Heavenly

via Amazon

This Cetaphil baby wash and shampoo are not only incredibly gentle, it smells so heavenly. It has organic calendula to soothe, moisturize and soften skin and the light scent is amazing. I continue to buy it even after my kids grew out of the baby stage because I love it so much for myself! Don't let babies get all the good shampoos. Snag some for yourself.

These Waterproof Bandages Come in a Variety of Cool Prints for Kids

via Amazon

My kids seem to get scrapes and cuts on the areas that get frequent washing, like their hands, so it's near impossible to keep bandages on. Until I found these "bravery badges"! These stay on so well and are actually waterproof, so they protect the wound from moisture wonderfully. Even for super active kiddos, they'll hold on for a full day.

Shortcuts At Your Fingertips

The older I get, the more Mac shortcuts I forget.

You tellin' me the reviews are wrong? I don't think so.

These Outlet Covers are a Safety Must

via Amazon

Babies are curious little creatures and have no sense of self-preservation, so these outlet covers are a must-have safety item! I like that they're clear so they don't call attention to themselves and they're easy for adults to install but hard for little fingers to remove. You'll get a set of 30 for pocket change, which is quite a deal on an actual life-saving product.

This $8 Tablet Is a Fun, Techy Way to Doodle or Take Notes

via Amazon

If you're old like me, you might remember the Magic Slate drawing pad that lets you erase your doodles by lifting the plastic sheet. Now, you can get that same effect in a new, updated form with this LCD Tablet. Draw or write with the included stylus for a Neon effect, then erase with the push of a button. It's like one giant post-it note you can use over and over.

This Hair Lightening Spray That Amplifies the Natural Effects of the Sun

via Amazon

Hello? The 80s is calling, and they want their hair-lightening tricks back. If you're old enough to remember the Sun-In days, you probably need to take a multivitamin right now. It's OK; I'll wait. This hair lightening spray is from Sun Bum, and reviewers say it really works to lighten hair safely and naturally using the power of the sun. It uses the power of Hawaiian lehua honey and lemon to work its magic.

These Invisible Seamless Underwear are Must Haves for No VPL

via Amazon

When you're wearing sheer dresses and light summer pants, the right underwear is a necessity and these are my go-to thongs. The seamline is invisible, so they're perfect to wear under light fabrics and they come in a range of colors and designs to match each outfit. They come in multi-packs too, so you can stock up your underwear drawer… no wonder they're a best seller on Amazon!

A Pack of No-Rinse Bathing Wipes for the Gym, Camping and Children

via Amazon

These Bathing Wipes are kinda brilliant. Add a splash of water to the dry wipe, and it produces a lightly-scented lather you can use to wash up. Best of all, no rinsing is needed! It leaves skin clean and refreshed, with no residue. It's great if you're going to be camping, if you're traveling, or if you just have a very sticky child who needs some clean-up.

This Shampoo Rinsing Cup Makes Bathtime Better

via Amazon

In general, kids love bathtime - except for the shampoo rinsing part. This hair rinsing cup was key in helping my kids enjoy all aspects of bathtime since it prevented water from getting in their faces, which they hated for some reason. And at 6, my youngest is still using it to rinse her own hair in the bath!

A Fan You Can Wear Around Your Neck

via Amazon

You might think this neck fan looks silly, but don't worry — thousands of reviewers are pumped about how it genuinely helps them cool down. "I have hot flashes, and this fan allows me to do my job and not break out in a full-on sweat," wrote one enthusiastic shopper. "I never leave it at home now, or I am hot as heck without it! The battery life is great, and it takes me through an 8-hour workday with no problems." After a particularly warm summer, I'm thinking about getting one myself.

Be Your Own Manicurist With This Gel Nail Kit

via Amazon

I used to spend a stupid amount of money (and time) getting my nails done. While it wasn't the best for my bank account, having a fresh manicure made me feel like a brand new woman. However, I knew this wasn't practical. That's why I switched to doing my nails at home. This gel kit gives you salon-quality nails that'll last weeks. Plus, it gives you the chance to change the color anytime you want.

Scale Back Your Weight

via Amazon

Are you still trying to lose your COVID 19? A lot of us have dealt with weight gain over the past few months, especially since we've all spent more time indoors, likely on the couch with our hands in a giant bag of Doritos. (Hey, I'm not judging.) This smart scale won't break the bank but is packed with features like body fat monitor, BMI, muscle mass, body water, and more.

A Brilliant Power Strip Solution

Amazon

In recent years, the people who design chargers have apparently decided that every charger must be the size of my fist and take up at least two spots on my power strip. Outlet space has been in high demand around my house for a while now. But no more! This power strip rotates so that you can plug in bulky chargers without running them into each other. It's truly brilliant.

Get the Best Picture Every Time

Amazon

I take a lot of photos and videos on my phone, so I always get irritated when I feel like the default lens isn't producing the quality that I want. That's why I decided to spring for this set of three clip-on lenses. I get a higher quality of the photo, and the option to use my 180° fisheye lens, my 0.6X wide-angle lens, and even a 15X macro lens.

The Cutest Book Light You've Ever Seen

Amazon

I love to read, and I often stay up pretty late with a book in my hands. But I don't want to bother my husband when he's trying to get to sleep, so I grabbed myself one of these tiny book lights for targeted light. Plus look at how cute he is! He's my best little book friend.
