37 Random Amazon Finds I Always Get Asked About
I've admitted before that even though I might not be the most efficient shopper when I do make a purchase, I commit—wholeheartedly. This is probably why countless friends, family members, and colleagues are always amazed by the must-have products I've discovered over the years on Amazon. You see, I am not so secretly a wizard when it comes to finding the best products lurking within the behemoth online retailer. And, of course, while I prefer to shop small, there are just some items that are more efficient and affordable to purchase online.
So keeping the keyword "affordable" in mind, I pulled together a list of 37 random things I've found on Amazon that people always ask me about. From fashion basics and trendy accessories to nicely priced beauty must-haves and even a few tech gadgets and wellness essentials, all of the below products are easily sourced on Amazon and can be added to your cart with just a few clicks.
Even better? Every single item on this list clocks in at $50 or less. Still skeptical? Keep scrolling—you're bound to be pleasantly surprised.
Cuticle oil wasn't even on my radar until I interviewed several nail professionals last year, but after using this top-selling Amazon product, I'm hooked (and so are my mom and sister).
I am so 2000 and late on this, but after speaking with several skincare pros, I got turned onto this toner. It was a simple step to add to my routine, but my skin has never felt cleaner or looked better.
Everyone atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing who has experienced this magical Revlon machine is hooked. It works great on different hair textures, and at this price, it is absolutely worth buying now.
I am lowkey obsessed with blue light glasses. I have about five pairs that I wear on rotation (a great conversation starter for Zoom meetings), and recommend Peepers frames especially—they come in several fun colors and styles, plus Oprah loves them, too.
I live in New York City, which means I rarely get to drive anywhere. However, I discovered this product when I was at home for the holidays in 2019 and immediately purchased multiples to give to my parents and car-owning friends. The universal design works in any type of vehicle and uses magnets to hold up the phone instead of a clunky contraption. Even better? Two come in a set, so you can keep one and give another to a pal.
I bought these ahead of a long-haul flight to South Africa in 2019, and have no idea how I traveled without noise-canceling headphones before. They're cheap enough that you don't have to beat yourself up if they get lost in transit but also durable and work great.
