50 Perfect Amazon Finds Recommended by Real People

Because I have young kids, I'm thinking more about the harmful everyday chemicals we encounter, especially when it comes to ingesting them. This natural toothpaste is something you can feel good about using - it's 100% natural and free from sulfates, paraben, fluoride, and artificial flavors and colors. Also, if you lean bougie like I do, you'll be tickled by the fancy mint and green tea flavor with a hint of cardamom! -Amanda R.

My coworker is obsessed with these: "For about $40 I got two pillows in a strangely small box. About 15 minutes after unpacking them, they lofted into the fullest, squishiest pillows I've owned. They're the perfect mix of invitingly soft, yet perfectly supportive. Easily the best pillows in our house, and a ridiculous value for the price."

I don’t wake up looking like I did when I was 20. As I’ve aged, I notice AM eye puffiness and bags. Then I started using these cult-favorite eye patches first thing in the morning. I love them! I have super sensitive skin, but these are gentle and don’t cause irritation. Bye-bye bags. Hello, bright eyes. -Karen F.

We have one of those front load washers which annoyingly smells like mildew if you don't clean it. The most effective thing I've found to really kill the smell are these Active washing machine cleaner tablets. All you have to do is run a cycle with just the tablet and it'll clean the drum, pump, valve, and filter in one step. These work with basically all high-efficiency and standard washers.

Not only are these puffball towels adorable and squishy, but they're also ridiculously absorbent. We tried a pair as a replacement for boring old bathroom hand towels, and they're a hit all around. Unfortunately, they go missing fairly often, as our daughter is regularly "rescuing" them and keeping them as pets.

I saw a lot of great reviews online when searching for new bedsheets. Not only were these Danjor linens sheets highly rated, but they also had a ton of positive reviews and were at a great price that I could justify buying. I'm super happy with them and will probably be buying another pair. They are soft and comfortable, and don't pill after a couple of washes like other sheets I've owned before.

I can’t think of the last $20 purchase that was this massive of an upgrade. This Gurin rainfall shower head replaced our dated, 1980s WaterPik massaging shower head, and has transformed our shower experience. It outputs a LOT of water, with great pressure and wide distribution. Rinsing shampoo out of my hair takes mere seconds, so I can spend more time letting the hard torrents of water massage my back. Fair warning – it has caused a few disagreements about who gets to shower first, and for just how long. It’s that good. -Chris S.

As an artsy and creative person, these felt-tip pens are perfect for me. I have tons of adult coloring books that I use specifically to minimize anxiety. The colors are bright and vibrant. The ink comes out flawlessly to fill in every corner of my artwork. These are an awesome addition to my art supply collection. -Stephanie H.

Love this serum! My dermatologist recommended that I start using Vitamin C as part of a daily anti-aging regimen and to even my skin tone. I had been using a popular drugstore brand for a couple of months, and it left my skin a bit oily. This TruSkin serum has a thicker consistency, and does not have the yellowish color that I have found in other brands. My skin looks brighter after applying it, and it pairs well with a good SPF moisturizer. Would definitely recommend over some other products I have tried for 2-3 times the price. -Andrea R.

I own a German Shepherd and have purchased more than one pet hair removal device in the past couple of years, but the Chom Chom roller is one of the few that actually works! It reminds me of a lint roller in the sense that I can roll away fuzz and pet hair off of my couch, clothing, rug, etc. quickly. It helps make clean-up a lot easier with a pet and makes vacuuming less of a chore. Plus, I don't have to clean or replace it — I just toss the hair out of the small compartment when I'm done.

I feel like everyone should automatically get this anti-aging eye cream on a certain birthday. I recently started using it, and have noticed a huge difference in my fine lines and dark circles. The customer before and afters are pretty fun to see, too!

My backseat looks like an apocalypse brought to you by Goldfish crackers and water bottles - thanks, kids! But at least they have a place to put all their trash now instead of shoving it under the seats or in the door pockets. This car trash can holds a huge pile of garbage like I'd say road trip amounts. The best part is the removable, waterproof, washable liner which makes emptying the trash so easy but is also a lifesaver in case any kiddos get car sick. Thoughtful features like the large front zipper pocket, two mesh side pockets, and adjustable hanging strap make it easy to love!

There's no piece of cookware I hate cleaning more than a colander, and that's why I love this clip-on Pasta Pal. This inexpensive strainer clips to your pots and saucepans, allowing you to quickly drain pasta water or cooking fat without adding additional dishware to your dirty dish pile. It's constructed of high-grade, dishwasher-safe silicone, and works with almost any size of cookware. -Chris S.

The blending sponge was just firm enough — but not too firm. The brow/liner brush helped shape and color my eyebrows perfectly. The size of the powder brush was nice, not too big but not too small — with the perfect angle. I don't wear eye shadow often, but the shadow brush is soft and worked well. What I loved about this tool is the 4-in-1. I am all about minimalist packing, and this gives me everything I need in one place. - Amy B.

We currently have a handful of inferior nail clippers floating around the house, but none cut half as well as this nail clipper set. The pro-grade clippers can shear through even the thickest toenails, helping prevent painful ingrown nails. Their heavy construction, precision cut, and ergonomic design gives you an excellent grip. Life's too short for terrible nail clippers!

I live in a 112-year-old house, and it's a bit of a fixer. I spend most of my time and money doing upgrades, so I try to avoid as much unnecessary repair work as possible. This is why I bought TubShrooms for every drain in my house. They collect hair and other debris that could clog your pipes, so you don't have to call in a professional.

If you've got kids, you know what an unholy mess they can make with toothpaste. My bathroom counter's never been cleaner since using these self-closing toothpaste caps! No one has to remember to put the cap on, and these dispense the perfect amount of toothpaste so there's less waste and mess!

The gentleness of this cleanser is what made it stand out for me - it removes all traces of makeup and leaves my skin nice and soft - not too tight, or dried out. It's not a super foamy cleanser, but its silky consistency feels more like it adds things to my skin rather than taking things away from it. -Sydney S.

I have never felt particularly embarrassed by the color of my smile, however as I get older I notice that it has definitely yellowed over the years slowly right under my nose. Despite my diligent routine, drinking a lot of coffee and red wine has taken a toll on my smile. By simply adding this booster gel into my existing routine with no other changes or time commitments, my smile totally transformed. It works so well, with absolutely no sensitivity at all, that I sent it to my friends to buy because I was truly amazed at the result, especially for the price and ease of use. These before and after photos are taken two weeks apart in the same location with the same lighting at the same time of day. -Laura W.

The bins are great for organizing and saving space, making all my kid lunch-prep foods so much more easy to access! We're also in love with the bin that holds the canned beverages, as we drink a lot of seltzer water and they were taking up almost an entire shelf before I got these. The condiment bin proves incredibly useful for storing dressings and marinades. The organization these bins provide will help reduce food waste since I no longer need to stack and cram food amongst the shelves, where it can sometimes get forgotten about in the back of the refrigerator. -Andrea R.

I love this milk frother for making barista-level drinks in the comfort of my home but it has another purpose, too! I use it to make warm, foamy milk for my kids and they think it's the most amazing thing. They get a calcium boost and I get to have fun whipping up drinks - everyone wins! -Amanda R.

My skin falls on the drier side, but I'm always fascinated by how much oil these blotting sheets soak up. These natural green tea ones are my fave for a few reasons: they're not those microscopic scraps that you have to use five of to cover your face — these are generously oversized, they're makeup-friendly and leave a gorgeous matte finish, and they're an allergy-free guaranteed material. Over 6,000 rave reviews back up my claims!

This is an unbelievable price (under $10!) for a pair of satin pillowcases that are such a joy to sleep on. I have some for my daughters with fine, curly hair and they wake up with so many fewer tangles now! I also love sleeping on one since I don't wake up with pillow lines on my face that take hours to disappear. Best of all, they're available in over 40 different colors!

It packs away well and has two heads, so it's good for several uses or a few trips. I like the round shape for packing, and I love the lathering bar, which makes packing shaving cream completely unnecessary. It even rotates, making it super easy to move between lather bar and razor. I also love that it's refillable, so it's not a few uses and then toss it in a landfill. -Karen F.

As someone who gets deep, painful heel cracks in the winter, this heel cream is a lifesaver. I spend three-quarters of the year in flip-flops, and this cream not only gets rid of my painful heel cracks, but it keeps my feet soft, pretty, and sandals-ready. My feet feel and look better after about a week of use. - Karen F.

I'm lucky enough to have an aunt who always finds the cleverest stocking stuffers, and these Wrap-Its were one of them! They're a simple yet brilliant solution to easy storage of extension cords, hoses, power cords, and more. I'm particularly fond of them as they're the invention of a Minnesota dad, and the company is entirely family-run. Check them out! -Chris S.

I have many leggings, and I have complaints about most of them. But when I found these Satina leggings, they became my go-to. They have deep pockets (hooray!), which immediately solves my biggest complaint, and I love their soft texture, perfect stretch, and how they hold their shape. Leggings problems solved.

I recently moved and left my old garden hose behind, so I was happy to get my hands on the incredibly expandable Flexi Hose. This hose has a perfect combination of practical features and a user-friendly design that sets it apart. The best part is that the lightweight construction makes it super easy to handle, and its expandable nature means I can cover a large area without any struggle. If anyone is looking for a reliable, user-friendly, and budget-friendly garden hose, I would enthusiastically recommend this hose. -Tricia G.

I saw a mommy influencer showing off this kid's travel tray on Instagram a few months ago and immediately bought one. My son loves to use the built-in whiteboard to draw while we drive, and the no-drop tablet holder keeps his Fire tablet secure no matter how bumpy our drive gets. It even folds up to become perfectly portable.

These smell fairly strong out of the box, but once they get wet and start dissolving, the scent is just enough to make the shower smell like a spa, and not overwhelming. They last a long time as long as you don't put them directly under the water, and I'm happy to report that my bathroom smelled amazing for a while after showering as well - not overwhelming, just nice. I will save the peppermint and the spearmint/eucalyptus scents for when my sinuses are acting up - I imagine they will be perfect for that. I would gift these with confidence to just about everyone on my list, and will likely purchase another box for myself. -Carrie G.

I was skeptical at first, but this wand worked SO well! It’s quite sleek looking and comes with a silicone mat to keep the hot took off your counters (and keeps it from slipping) as well as a glove, which I didn’t find that I needed. I have very thick hair that is shoulder length with fine to medium texture. My natural hair is wavy to curly but was brushed out and air dried when I used the brush. All in all, this was way easier than using a flat iron. It took me less than 10 minutes to do my hair and because of the brush feature I didn’t need to section my hair, so it was super easy! -Morgan R.

I wanted a really bright flashlight for my first camping trip in the White Mountains, and this flashlight did not disappoint! I brought a few others that I had lying around the house, and this one was easily the best one we had. It is extremely bright, and the diameter of the actual light beam made it my go-to for walking to the tents, bathrooms, etc. The neighbors at our campsite even asked us where we got it because it worked so well. -Andrea R.

I bought my air purifier after weeks of waking up with a stuffy nose in the middle of the night and feeling as if I was not fully rested. I loved it so much that I bought two more! This one reduces odors, pet dander, and airborne viruses, all while keeping quiet. That's the best part! There is no strange fan noise that will keep you up at night. You can place it in your bedroom or common areas to cycle out the air up to 600 square feet every hour. -Amanda R.

My son (24 years old) requested this for his bathroom and he's absolutely thrilled. It was super easy to install, and really simple to change out the colors of the light itself. The motion sensorwas the real selling point - for middle-of-the-night bathroom trips, this is even better than a nightlight. The light comes on as you approach the bathroom and it's just enough light to be able to see clearly as you do your business without being overwhelming. I wasn't sure if he would actually use it (or get real value out of it), but he does! -Carrie G.

Who hasn’t turned into a cartoon character when trying to grab a bar of soap in the shower? Your slippery, sudsy problem will be no-more when you try The Handy shower sponge. Just slip the strap over your palm, scrub or pour some soap into the sponge, and scrub away! With The Handy, you can get into those tight nooks and crannies and accomplish a thorough clean without ever having to play fetch with your soap again.

If you haven't upgraded to the Scrub Daddy, now is the time. Under cold water, it stays firm - perfect for stubborn scrubbing. Under hot water, it softens up for everyday cleaning. Best of all, it's NEVER stinky, and lasts for months. -Chris S.

Anyone with kids (or tangles of their own) can appreciate the power of a good detangler, and Crave's detangling brush is at the top of the heap according to more than 60,000 Amazon reviewers. The Crave's unique, cone-shaped bristles work to gently separate hair, instead of tearing right through it. At barely more than $10, it's a low price to pay for many less tears (your kids, or your own). -Chris S.

I'm a big fan of Milk_Shake products, and this leave-in conditioner is at the top of my list. I have thick, porous hair that is quickly turning grey/white, and it's on the dry side naturally. Add in heat-styling, and the fly-aways are getting ridiculous. Just a little dab of this product and my hair behaves beautifully. The split ends are less noticeable and my hair is super soft. Added bonus: the scent is like walking into a bakery, but it's not overpowering. - Carrie G.

These are GREAT for wrapping and storing my long extension cords. My garage looks so much tidier now! (Admittedly, I did have a small pile of various sizes of extension cords in my garage before taking the time to wrap and hang them properly with these Wrap-It Straps.) The velcro on the straps sticks very well and keeps the cords wrapped up tight. These would work well for other types of storage purposes such as holiday light storage, and really anything that needs to be kept tangle-free. I'm really pleased with them! -Andrea R.

Anyone that loves dogs knows that you carry their love with you wherever you go, especially if you carry them in your car. This car cover, though? Magical! It keeps the fur out of my seats, is easy to vacuum, and can even be thrown in the washer.

This is a major upgrade from things like big plastic bins, or whatever other makeshift organization system I've tried for so many reasons. I love that it clips into place, so it doesn't slide around and that it is adjustable in size depending on what you need, which is important so it doesn't become a burden in your trunk. However, truly the best part is the amount of different size compartments, so instead of containing your mess into something like one big bin, everything has a home and you can actually get to things you need while also bringing things like groceries home. -Laura W.
