Welcome to another installment of my favorite recent Amazon purchases. Amazon is amazing – I order everything from Vitamin Water Zero to clothing there and am always able to find exactly what I want given the extensive range of items and reviews that help me make the best decisions. Of course, returns are always hassle-free if there is something that is not exactly what I was hoping for.
You can find my earlier Amazon round-ups HERE, HERE, and HERE. I had lots to choose from for this one, and as always, I leave out the functional but not broadly interesting orders for things like replacement bulbs for my landscaping lighting but these purchases are almost the most valued as they save so much time and frustration trying to find something that is so specific.
Sorry that my posts have been few and far between lately. College essay support has really been kicking my butt lately so shout out to other senior parents – it is almost over! Feel free to click on any of the images below if anything catches your eye!
I have been refreshing my workout wardrobe to help me feel motivated and sports bras are probably the most difficult thing for me to find. Just got one of these and ordered a few more – recommend you size up.
Cute, just the right length, lots of colors and you really cannot beat the price at around $15.
These are the gold standard and I challenge you to tell the difference between these and Lululemon other than the price! I have been branching out from my standard-issue black and really like this olive color. I bought some hyped alo yoga pants recently and not a fan of the price or serious compression feeling. These really are fantastic!
It is getting colder at night even here in CA. I needed a fluffy blanket to add to my side of the bed and this is the perfect choice. I just ordered another one in Queen size for my guest room. Lucky guests!
LAFCO Champagne is probably my favorite scent ever. I wish they would make perfume. I have their diffuser in this scent in my power room and love it so excited to try the handsoap which has not arrived yet.
My husband’s favorite treat (and he does not really have a sweet tooth) is gingerbread so this gingerbread candle is going to make a nice stocking stuffer!
My youngest son is on a vinyl collecting rampage. I think that he has probably asked for like 15 and may be getting most of them split across Christmas and his Feb birthday. He asked for Adele, Lana Del Ray, Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, and of course, every Ariana Grande ever.
Haven’t tried these so will have to come back with a review after but was looking for a way to hang the vinyl on the wall without using screws and these combined with some 3M strips look like a great solution.
My phone case died and I got this leather one which is getting better with time as all good leather does. I do still miss the rubbery feel of my old case which was falling apart after years but this one is definitely more stylish.
My oldest son just moved into his first real apartment having just graduated and started his full-time job as a computer engineer at Amazon. I am excited to see him soon for a couple weeks and sent him everything on this row so that he could have a bit of Christmas cheer in his place.
Small 4′ tree with lights and an automatic timer – perfect for apartment living where you don’t have much storage space. A great idea to make it look larger is to put it on a box and cover it with a tree skirt.
Small tree topper just the right size for this small tree.
These are the bulbs that I use year-round in my backyard and am using outside for Christmas. I love that they are round versus the standard C9 bulb which gives them more of a modern look.
Just hung some outdoor lights up with these yesterday and WOW, so easy and they appear to be holding well. These are great for adding lights around a window and would also be great for indoor use as well.
If you have been following along, you know The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of my favorite movies. Going to break this 1,000 piece bad boy out over the holidays for the family to help. Technically this is a Halloween movie but it plays well for Christmas also.
A really bad tradition I have started is losing the tree topper every year. I think that this is year three I have done it, and this what we are going with – hopefully for this year and next.
Odin the dog loves his Kong stuffy rope toys and this Kong bear has crazy good reviews. Time will tell. Not sure if this will be Christmas or birthday since he turns 3 on 12/12!
The Grinch (animated version!) is probably my favorite Christmas movie. I might have purchased some Grinch ornaments for myself this year and this wrapping paper is fun!
