Amazon Purchases I’ve Made So Far This Year

Amazon packages seem to show up at my door a little more often than you even know. I’ve picked up quite a few great finds already this year, from practical everyday items to a few things that just make life a little easier.

Since Amazon’s Spring Sale is right around the corner and some early deals are already starting to pop up, I thought it would be the perfect time to share a few of the purchases I’ve made so far this year that have actually been worth it. You might even find something you didn’t know you needed!

This is only a fraction of the purchases I’ve made, but these are all ones that I really love.

Amazon Purchases I’ve Made So Far This Year

I like having a little color on my face, but I don’t always want to deal with makeup. This clear face tanning mist is an easy way to add a soft glow without looking orange or streaky. I just mist it on before bed and wake up looking a little more refreshed. I’ve not worn foundation since this arrived.

If you struggle with dry skin like I do, this Body Serum is worth trying. It’s lightweight yet deeply hydrating, and the urea helps smooth rough areas like the arms, legs, and even elbows. It absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave that sticky feeling some lotions do. This is probably the third or fourth bottle I’ve used.

This gorgeous Quilted Tote Bag just arrived yesterday. I love a good tote bag, and this one is sooo cute and colorful! The quilted design is a little more fun than my plain totes. It’s large enough for travel, beach days, or even groceries, and the zipper at the top is a big plus. I can’t wait to carry this so y’all can see it.

I’ve been loving these wedges! I wore them on Saturday to an appointment, and they’re super comfortable. The wedge makes them easier to walk in than a traditional heel, and the straps velcro for easy on and off. I plan on wearing mine with dresses, white jeans, or even casual shorts!

My daughter bought this striped maxi dress last year. It is such a good find for spring and summer that I decided to buy it too! The belted waist is perfect for giving you that hourglass figure. Add a pair of sandals and a straw bag, and you’re set.

This lightweight sweater top is the perfect transition piece for those in-between days when it’s not quite hot but not cool either. The ribbed knit gives it a little structure, and it looks great tucked into jeans or paired with a skirt. It’s one of those simple basics you end up wearing a lot.

Sometimes it’s the little kitchen things that make the biggest difference. My husband is the one who bought this spoon rest for our kitchen. It keeps sauces and drips off the counter while I’m cooking, and it’s big enough to actually hold larger utensils. Plus, it’s dishwasher safe, which always earns extra points in my book.

Deodorant isn’t exactly glamorous, but it’s definitely a necessity, and this one has quickly become a favorite of mine. It keeps you dry all day long, and I buy the unscented so there isn’t a scent to bother me. It’s not the most exciting thing to add to your Amazon cart, but it’s one of those practical purchases you’ll be glad you made.

If you deal with heel pain or plantar fasciitis, these little inserts can make a big difference. They fit right in my shoes, and help cushion my heel so I am not walking around in pain.

This blow-dry spray is one of my favorite hair products. It helps protect your hair from heat and makes blow-drying faster, which is always a win. It also leaves your hair looking smoother and shinier without feeling heavy. My DIL always stocks me up at Christmas.

This folding table is surprisingly useful. You can use it for working on your laptop, reading, or even eating while sitting on the couch. It folds up easily when you’re done, so it doesn’t take up much space.

I love starting my day with something encouraging, and this devotional is a really sweet one. Each day has a short message and scripture that’s easy to read even on busy mornings. It’s a nice way to slow down and focus your thoughts before the day gets going.

When you get as many Amazon packages as we do around here, a good box cutter is a must. These little folding ones are simple but really handy, and having several means I can keep one in the kitchen, one in the office, and one in the garage.

I’m obsessed with this dress! The color is so pretty, and the V-neck is very flattering. You could wear this with block heels or wedges for Easter, with white sneakers for a day of sightseeing, or with sandals for a cookout!

This straw tote looks perfect for summer. It’s lightweight, roomy enough for beach days or travel, and the straw texture gives it that relaxed vacation look. It’s the kind of bag you’ll grab anytime you’re heading out in warm weather!

This embroidered top has such pretty details, but still feels casual enough for everyday wear. The puff sleeves give it a little personality, and it pairs nicely with jeans or shorts.

My Husband Joe’s Recent Amazon Finds:

Joe has been wearing these pants a lot lately. They’re lightweight, comfortable, and have a little stretch, so they move easily. They work just as well for travel or casual weekends as they do for running errands.

These slip-ons are easy to slide on and off without having to fool with laces. They have that classic casual look that works with jeans or khakis. This is like his third pair. He wears them all of the time!

Another pair of easy slip-ons Joe has been reaching for. They’re relaxed and comfortable but still look nice enough to wear out and about. I have a feeling he’ll be wearing these a lot this summer with shorts and a polo!
