Hello there! I hope your new year is humming along well. It’s no secret that Amazon is a go to for me for everything from clothing, beauty to kitchen/ bath and cleaning supplies, lawn and garden, car accessories- you name it, we go to Amazon. Amazon is so convenient to get free shipping and free returns, usuall in 2-3 days with Amazon Prime. It’s the subscription that pays for itself.
If you’ve ever wondered which Amazon purchases are actually worth it, this list is for you. I ordered a lot in 2025—testing fashion pieces, beauty finds, and home essentials to see what truly held up in real life, not just on a product page. After months of wearing, using, washing, and living with these items, I narrowed it down to the 25 Amazon purchases I genuinely loved and would buy again. These are the pieces that made getting dressed easier, routines simpler, and home life a little more polished—without overspending or chasing trends.
For the Home
COSORI Electric Kettle Temperature Control with 6 Presets
This was supposed to be a Christmas gift for me, but my hubby has used it more than I have! We both love it. We haven’t even had it a month, and it had to make my top 25 list. It’s so nice to get the temperature correct for the type of tea you are brewing and the tea tastes so much better. This kettle heats up quickly and will maintain the temperature for 60 minutes. I also ordered a Hamilton Beach Flex Brew for k-cups and I like it, but so far the tea kettle has won out over the coffee maker. This is one of those “why didn’t I buy this sooner” purchases.
Keechee Bamboo Cutting Board Set
We put off replacing our old plastic cutting boards for way too long, and finally replaced them with these. The two smaller sizes get used almost daily. While hardwoods are your best option for cutting boards, these are a great budget friendly option.
Looca 3-Tier Folded Mesh Clothes Hanging Dryer Sweater Drying Rack
You know you are an adult when you get this excited about a laundry item. This thing is a game changer. I used to wash sweaters and lay them on towels on the bedroom floor to dry. Now I hang this from our indoor line that hangs over the tub and I can easily and quickly dry 3 sweaters at one time. It folds up for storage.
Fresh Wave Original Scent Odor Removing Gel Refill
I discovered these odor removing gels last year when I first purchased the smaller containers from Target and then realized you can purchase refills for them. I love these for getting out weird odors that settle into your home.
3 in 1 Charging Station
This charging station doesn’t charge as fast as I would like, but it’s great for travel. I don’t have to take all the cords and blocks. Just fold this up and throw it in a bag.
Underseat Carry On Luggage with Wheels, 16-inch Softside Rolling Under Seat Luggage
I generally carry a backpack when I travel, especially if I need my laptop, but moving through an airport with a heavy backpack can be tiring and taxing on the back and shoulders. This little number solved that. On my last flight, I was able to take an outfit, toiletries for overnight and my laptop, and still fit this under a seat without having to fight for overhead storage.
Tall Planters for Outdoor Plants, 20 Inch Movable Drainage Large Outdoor Planter
I bought these planters last January, one of the first Amazon purchases of 2025, and they are still holding up well. I filled my with faux greenery and lights. I’d definitely buy them again.
Sensyne 60″ Phone Tripod
I bought this on the recommendation of a Instagram influencer who teaches instagram tricks and how to make reels. This thing is super light and portable. I had been dragging around my heavy tripod for my DSLR camera, even when I only planned to use my phone camera and this one is so much easier. I would be cautious in heavy wind, but otherwise it’s perfect for running outside and shooting pics or reels with my phone, and for taking with me on trips.
Hydro Flask Water Bottle – Insulated Stainless Steel – Wide Mouth Flex Chug Lid
I decided to replace my old plastic water bottles with stainless steel. I discovered after getting this one that I prefer chug lids over straw lids. Who knew? And I like that this bottle is 40 oz. When I finish it, I’m a little closer to my daily water intake goal.
Christian Art Gifts Classic Handy-sized Journal
Every time I finish one journal, I reorder one of these. I love the smooth lined pages and I enjoy having bible verses at the bottom of each page.
My Favorite Fashion Items
ANRABESS Women Quarter Zip Oversized Casual Loose Rib Knit Cozy Pullover Sweater
Cozy, comfy and still polished. What more could you ask for? I have this in almond, size small. It’s one of those pieces you want in every color, and there are a lot of color options for this one.
Guaile High Waisted Wide Leg Jeans
I love these so much I have them in two colors and ordered them in a third color- beige- what it had too much of a yellow tint for me. These are just a little wider than traditional straight leg jeans but not as wide as most wide leg jeans. They have the perfect amount of stretch and are super comfortable. At 5’2″/158 pounds, I wear them in a size 10 short.
Tieless Shoelaces for Sneakers, No Tie Shoe Laces
I gave these a try on the recommendation of another blogger and I fully intend to order more. You do have to cut them and apply the metal buckles that hold them in place, but it’s so worth the effort if you like the no tie look of sneakers.
gorjana – Compass Coin Pendant Necklace 3/4 inch
The necklace I reach for almost daily. It’s simple but stylish and is the perfect piece to finish off an outfit in a way that looks intentional.
COMFELIE Wireless Seamless Bra
Wide straps that stay in place. A wide band to hold back the bulge. Seamless, wireless, comfortable. All the things I want in a bra. I now own several of these and they are one of my best discoveries of 2025.
Missair Compatible with Apple Watch Band Stainless Steel Metal Clover Strap
I bought this watch band last March. While it is beginning to show signs of wear, I still love it. I wear it daily, work out with it, and it goes with everything. It perfectly matches the finish of my watch.
Coutgo Womens Flat Double Buckle Sandals
These were one of my favorite purchases for the summer. They are comfortable and have the laid back vibes I want for summer.
Onrtry Rectangle Sunglasses
I wear these everyday. Leopard is a neutral, right? These are a fun, modern way to update a look.
12 Pack Magnetic Necklace Clasps and Closures
Game changers! I used to struggle with getting necklaces clasped, and sometimes just had to give up and let it go so I could get out the door on time. These have changed everything.
6 PCS Flat Hair Clips, Lay Flat Claw Clips for Women
Another simple, inexpensive purchase that is a game changer. I don’t like having a claw clip bump the headrest of my car while driving, and these flat clips eliminate that issue. These also hold my fine but thick hair well.
Best of Beauty
COLOR WOW Dream Coat Supernatural Spray
I can’t imagine blow drying my hair without this. It helps control the frizz that blow drying can create. It’s not greasy or sticky and leaves hair silky and smooth.
Lumineux Teeth Whitening Strips
These are not a new discovery for 2025, but a repeat purchase worth sharing. I love these. They provide the right amount of whitening and don’t have a weird chemical taste. Grab the toothpaste too to extend your whitening.
ColourPop Going Coconuts Eyeshadow Palette – Cool-Toned Neutral Eyeshadow Palette
After dealing with another round of eye allergies last year, I had to toss all my old eyeshadows and start fresh. I tested a lot of palettes trying to find something gentle, wearable, and flattering—and this one quickly became my everyday go-to.
Whether I’m keeping things simple for daytime or adding a little depth for a more polished look, this palette does it all. The shades blend beautifully, never feel heavy or irritating, and work perfectly on mature eyes. It’s the rare palette I reach for without overthinking—and the only one I’d immediately repurchase.
T3 Aireluxe Professional Ionic Hairdryer
At the age of 52, I decided that it was time to have a better hair dryer than the $30 ones I have used all my life. Since I’ve been growing my hair out, it has been harder to dry it and tame the frizzies. A great hair day starts with a good blowdryer that doesn’t frizz your hair. I’m glad I finally invested in this hair dryer. It cuts drying time in half and doesn’t damage the hair.
SOL DE JANEIRO Brazilian Glossy Nourishing Hair Oil
Another product to help fight the frizzy hair. Get smooth shiny hair with this product. I generally just apply it to the ends before curling my hair. Bonus- it smells SO good! This is another item that I’m thrilled I took a chance on and I will repurchase it.
That’s a wrap on my most used and most loved Amazon Prime purchases of 2025. Did you get any of these?
Here’s to having as much purchasing success in 2026!
