The following list of products is a compilation of the best things I've found on Amazon. Everything on here is the most interesting, most useful, most inventive, or just downright most fun things I have every added to my cart (or wishlist!).

I can't believe I've wasted so many years wearing the wrong type of undies!

That's right — a high-quality Hanes sweatshirt for less than $30. If that's not a steal, I don't know what is. Even though it's sized for men, I bought a small just to wear around the house when I'm feeling lazy, plus the low-pill fabric keeps it looking great no matter how many times you wash it. Grab it in more than 20 colors, including deep royal, red, Kelly green, and more.

A Men's Romper That Makes You Look Naked

I got this naked man romper as a gag gift for my boyfriend, but he wound up loving it so much he wears it around the house all the time — so you could say the gift backfired just a tad bit. It's perfect for theme parties or simply grossing out your girlfriend in the middle of the workweek, and several reviewers commented about how it fits true-to-size.
This Screen Magnifier That Turns Your Smartphone Into A Movie Theater
via: Amazon
I tend to watch a lot of shows, movies, and YouTube videos on my phone over my lunch break, and it can be a fairly underwhelming experience to watch an episode of Game of Thrones on a tiny cellphone screen.
This screen magnifier makes your display two to three times bigger and can be used with pretty much any type of smartphone.
A Shock Watch That Trains You To Wake Up On Time
images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com
If you're one of those people who can never seem to wake up on time, let me introduce you to the Pavlok shock watch. It trains you to wake up on time by quietly beeping and vibrating, then eventually giving you a light shock to wake you up. Over time you'll learn to wake up during the beeping/vibrations in order to avoid the shock, and you can adjust the shock strength by connecting it to your smartphone.
These Popular Leggings That I Wear Every. Single. Day
via: Amazon
I'm going to be completely honest with you right now: I own three pairs of these leggings. And I've thought about buying more. I want one for every day of the week.

This Antibacterial Kitchen Rug To Soften The Kitchen Floor

I love the idea of a runner rug in the kitchen, but they end up covered in spilled food and god knows what else.

It comes in a bunch of sizes and pretty colors, my favorite is the geometric gray runner pictured above.

It expands to fit seven pans and has a full five-stars across the board, amazing!

A Cat Statue That Will Send Your Gnomes Running In Fear
via: Amazon
If garden gnomes are not so much your aesthetic, this statue of a cat attempting to snack on them may be the thing to put amongst your plants instead.
These cats are hugely popular on Amazon so if they are temporarily unavailable I absolutely love these dinosaurs as well.

This shag rug is so soft and plush but still affordable, so it's great if you have pets or kids (and you have to replace it more often).
This Is the Highest-Rated White T-Shirt on Amazon
images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com
A good white t-shirt is a wardrobe staple, so I combed through dozens of shirts on Amazon looking for the perfect combination of affordable, comfortable, durable, and well-reviewed. My search led me here: Amazon's highest-rated white t-shirt for women! Made of super-soft rayon, it has a v-neck, cuffed sleeves, and a relaxed fit that's flattering on a range of body types. It comes in five sizes and a bunch of colors, in case you want to branch out from a classic white tee.
This Down Alternative Comforter That Is So, So Comfy
via: Amazon
I truly can't believe that this down comforter costs less than $60 because it is the most luxurious bedding I've ever slept under in my life. It has loops in all four corners and all four sides so you can easily tie it into any duvet cover. I've had mine for about 6 months and none of the filling has become bunched up or clumpy, even after several launderings — in the washer! Because it's machine washable.
This Lounge Set Is Like Butta
via: Amazon
At this point in life, I want to graduate to real pajamas instead of old college tees and boxer shorts.

These little live succulents add life to our space and more importantly, are hard to kill! Just pop them in the mini planters above and voilà , instant decor.
These Dual-Sided Measuring Spoons Stick Together
via: Amazon
All of my current measuring spoons are on one of those rings which keeps them together but I'm too lazy to remove the one I want to use, so they all get dirty in the process. These magnetic measuring spoons are so much smarter since they still stay together but can easily be separated with one hand if you're other one's all slimy with raw chicken juice or caked in dough. Plus it comes with a free leveler so you don't accidentally over-season whatever you're cookin' up.
This Sweatshirt Looks So Cozy
via: Amazon
I'm pretty much all athleisure all the time, and this slouchy sweatshirt is right up my alley. It's made of a polyester and spandex blend, so it's the perfect lightweight layer without making you over heat. It's also slouchy enough to layer so you can wear it in all seasons! It comes in a bunch of colors (the ombre versions are so pretty!) and has over 300 rave reviews. I love how the hood looks like a cowl neck, too - it's the little details that elevate it from a regular sweatshirt to a cool one.

via: Amazon
These futuristic acne patches zap zits fast since they have microneedles that allow the acne-fighting ingredients to get under your skin to target the problem. Since it gets down beneath your skin, it does what surface-level treatments can't, reducing the healing time and clearing up skin quickly.

via: Amazon
I love the rustic beauty of this medium-sized planter with a distressed oak finish and antique pewter colored bands.

It's got drainage holes for outdoor use, is weather-resistant and durable -- and the price simply can't be beat!
This Floor Is Lava Game Is So Hot Right Now
via: Amazon
My kids love playing "the floor is lava" while jumping all over the furniture and shrieking loudly, but a more house-friendly way to play with a group of kids is this game that's like a new twist on classic Twister. The kids have to keep to their colored squares while another person yells instructions on activities they must complete without touching the floor. I think adults might like to get in on this too, especially after happy hour!

This Ponycap That Solves An Annoying Problem
via: Amazon
I have very thick hair that has a mind of its own. For years, I longed to be able to rock a casual baseball cap on a hot summer day. The problem? My long locks simply won't allow it. I'm either forced to wear it down which looks weird with a cap on, or awkwardly shove it through the hole in the back which looks, well, awkward.
This Ponycap has a specific spot for my hair to go through, and I can't wait to wear it all summer long.
Harness the Power of the Sun With This Essential Portable Solar Charger
via: Amazon
When a recent windstorm swept through my town, I lost electrical power for a day. As my phone's battery quickly drained, a friend asked if I had a solar charger. Nope. But I sure wished I did.

This solar charger is compact, affordable, highly rated, and a best-seller. Add to cart!

And it really works.This Luggage Scale that Makes Flying 10X Easier
images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com

This scale makes it easy to do a quick check beforehand so I'm not spending even more at the airport.
This Comfy Maxi Dress

This well-priced maxi dress makes an easy, comfortable outfit that looks like it took more effort than just popping it over your head.
These Uncommon Questions Spark Interesting Conversations
via: Amazon
I've seen a few of these conversation starter sets around, but this one really caught my attention. It's designed for couples, but Uncommon Questions also works with groups of close friends. Each card includes a unique, thought-provoking question like, "What was the greatest feat of your childhood?" or "What is your favorite pair of shoes you have ever owned?"
This Mascara Makes It Look Like You're Wearing False Eyelashes
via: Amazon
I've got a handful of fancy mascaras hanging around, but when I saw the reviews for this Lash Princess False Lash Mascara (that happens to be only $4.99!) I was immediately intrigued. The before and afters are gorgeous - it really does look like the reviewers are wearing lash extensions or false eyelashes! The special brush delivers volume and length in spades for the lushest lashes. Even more good news is that it's certified by PETA as a cruelty-free brand, so I don't have to worry about animal testing.

These Organizing Bins Make Your Fridge Look SO Nice

How often do you open your fridge? I decided to count (I know, I'm a weirdo) and learned that in just one morning, I opened my fridge 6 times. If I have to look at something that often, I want it to look good. That's why I recommend this set of fridge organizing bins. They make the most of precious shelf space and keep food organized and tidy.These Shoe Inserts That Soothe Sore Feet
via: Amazon
I developed Plantar Fasciitis when I was pregnant with my son and tried everything from stretches and creams to special shoes to find relief. Nothing helped. Then, a co-worker told me about these shoe inserts, which made a huge difference for her husband.
Although I was skeptical, I tried them. And they worked. And I've been recommending them to everyone ever since.
A Bluetooth Speaker That's Completely Waterproof
via: Amazon
When I say this Bluetooth speaker is waterproof, I mean it — you can submerge it in 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes. I like to take mine with me on trips to the beach since I know it won't get wrecked in the ocean, and the rechargeable battery lasts for up to 15 hours. Unlike other speakers, this one has a range of up to 100 feet so you can go ahead and wander around without stopping the tunes.

via: Amazon
A few years back, I bought a set of white pinch bowls that I've gotten SO MUCH use out of. Now I want more, so I'm eyeing this cute set of stoneware pinch bowls in soft, natural colors. I use pinch bowls during food prep to hold small amounts of ingredients like chopped garlic. They're also the perfect size for individual portions of dips like ranch dressing or soy sauce.
