Amazon has it all, but here are a few of our favorite things. 🤩

It’s no news we’re obsessed with Amazon and their convenient, fast, and free Prime shipping – AND the endless amount of online goods you can find. However, there’s always that one purchase that sticks out among all the others, so our team is sharing a few favorite purchases from the past month.

*Note that these Amazon prices are accurate at the time of posting.


Here are some of the best things to buy on Amazon this month according to our team members:


1. Emily bought some trendy-looking sunglasses for cheap.

Emily loves these high-end-looking sunglasses and says they’re a great affordable find if you want to elevate your summer wardrobe for cheap! In fact, she was so impressed with the quality she scooped up all three of these pairs for every occasion and you can’t beat the prices!


2. Melissa loves this new summer dress she bought for summer.

Melissa really loves this cute new dress she scooped up on Amazon! She said it’s really comfortable to wear and the fabric isn’t heavy. That means she can wear it during the hottest summer days too!

3. I bought these outdoor solar lights for the trees in my front yard and they’ve performed better than expected.

Inselks Solar Spotlights Outdoor – $35.99 (regularly $49.99)

I scored such a sweet deal on these solar lights when I bought them just over a month ago (only $29.99 shipped!). I let them soak up the sun for two full days and so far they’ve performed better than I anticipated! Our front yard is pretty shaded by huge trees so I was worried they wouldn’t get enough light. However, they’ve been turning on every night at dusk and last past the time I go to bed.

Overall, I chose these over any other solar lights because I really love the look of warm white lights and the price was great!


4. Chelsey used these clear shelves for a unique toy storage solution.

Final cost $44.99!

Now Chelsey’s daughter can see which doll she wants without having to dig through a bin or basket. Genius! Chelsey said the biggest plus about these shelves was that they’re a cinch to put up and they require minimal holes or damage to their rental. We’re all obsessed with how they turned out and her daughter’s toys look so pretty and organized now!


5. Amber has been loving these simple flower pots for her deck.

These galvanized pots are the best thing to buy on Amazon if you’re looking for a quick and easy way to spruce up your deck. Amber has been loving her set and says she loves looking at the pop of colors the flowers added to her outdoor space.


6. Amber also scooped up the MANGOPOP bodysuit that Collin and Melinda already own.

MANGOPOP Short Sleeve T-Shirt Bodysuit$20.98 (regularly $35) 

How adorable is Amber in her new bodysuit?! After hearing Collin and Melinda rave about this wardrobe staple piece she had to scoop one up too. Better yet, she grabbed this adorable jumper to go with it and we couldn’t love the whole effortless look on her more!


7. Bryn has been loving her new milk frother for her morning cups of coffee.

Zulay Milk Frother – $11.99 (regularly $11.99) 

Bryn has been using this milk frother every morning! After microwaving her milk, it’s a quick way to froth it up and is the perfect finishing touch to her coffee. It’s also been dual-purpose for her teen kids who love using it to quickly mix powdered vitamins/supplements into juice or water.


8. Bryn also scooped up a deal on this variety pack of snacks which her kiddos loved a little too much.

Fruit Roll-Ups Fruit Fusion Assorted Flavors 16-Count $5.68

Final cost $4.54!

Bryn was stoked to scoop up a deal on this variety pack which includes 16 individually wrapped snacks, making them perfect for lunches, picnics, and on-the-go snacking! What’s funny is that just a few hours after it was delivered Bryn said the box was EMPTY! 😱 So her 15 and 16-year-old boys somehow devoured 16 fruit roll-ups in a few hours. 😆 Note to self, if you’re scooping this up too, be sure to grab more. LOL!


9. Angela said this seat cover for her dogs was worth the splurge and it looks just like the photos.

This unique car seat cover bridges the gap between the back and front seats, giving Anglea’s dogs more room and sturdy enough to withstand their 100+ pound weight. She said although there are many other options on the market she chose this one because it’s waterproof, wrinkle-free, and has flaps on the side that protect your doors. Even though she’s super frugal with all her purchases, she said this is one that’s definitely worth the splurge.


10. I bought this tennis skirt that looks identical to an $80 Lululemon one.

I’ve been seeing the Lululemon Pace Rival Skirt trend and really wanted one but couldn’t justify the $80 price tag. I gave this skirt on Amazon a try and actually loved the way it fit me even more! The thighs are comfortable, the back is identical to Lulu’s, and the color options are also reminiscent of all the high-end work out brands.
