Here at LovetoKnow, we know a thing or two about quality products. After all, we spend most of our days browsing Amazon to find the coolest gadgets and most life-changing items to write about, which usually results in us buying a few things ourselves (okay, sometimes it's more than a few…).

So, what products do the experts say they can't live without? Our team did a deep dive into their order history to find their favorite items, and trust me, this list does not disappoint. From a sleek electric toothbrush to a hot air brush that gives you a salon-quality blowout from your very own bathroom, these products are beloved by the people who know their (Amazon) stuff.

Why drop hundreds of dollars on a brand new knife set when you can just buy this knife sharpener for under 10 dollars instead? That's what I did, and my set is as sharp today as it was the day I bought it. This mini sharpener is designed to sit securely on the edge of your countertop and features two different sharpening stages: a course option and a fine option.

If you suffer from migraines, you know all too well how debilitating they can be. This ice cap offers soothing relief exactly where you need it. The 360-degree design and light-blocking fabric ensure total coverage, and the medical-grade gel can be made hot or cold, so you can find what works best for you.

Our team knows the importance of sun protection, and this facial sunscreen from EltaMD is a great everyday option. It's lightweight enough to be worn alone or under makeup, and the non-greasy formula won't leave behind residue. The best part? It's specifically formulated to improve and protect acne-prone skin, so instead of causing breakouts, it actually prevents them.

I've been recommending this Quip toothbrush to everyone I know since I first got it a year ago. The sonic vibrations and round-tipped nylon bristles provide a deep cleaning that's soft and gentle on teeth. The two-minute timer shows you exactly how long you should actually be brushing, which may be a bit shocking to some people (myself included).

With a wide compatibility that works with a variety of devices and a quick-charge design that brings your electronics up to full power in a fraction of the time, this Anker portable charger is a small wonder. It can be used at home or on the go, so you never have to worry about your phone dying when you're out and about.

Here's another travel essential loved by our team: these noise-reducing earplugs. The multiple ear tip sizes allow you to find your perfect fit, and the soft, flexible silicone construction makes them comfortable enough to wear while sleeping. They're great for blocking out noise on an airplane, staying productive at work, or finding some peace and quiet during a nap.

Having wet hair in the winter is one of my biggest pet peeves, but as a busy mom with zero time to dry my hair, these microfiber scrunchies are total life savers. The super absorbent fabric speeds up the drying process, and the ultra-stretchy design can contain even incredibly thick hair like mine.

Here's an easy way to feel like you've finally grown up and gotten your life together: keep your beauty blender clean and protected from germs with this nifty little makeup sponge holder. The ventilated top promotes airflow to prevent harmful bacteria, and it's large enough to hold two sponges at once.

I bought this peeling solution a few months ago, and I have to admit that when I use it, it looks kind of creepy. The solution has a bright red pigment, so when it's on my face, it looks like I'm covered in blood. But that's a small price to pay for how amazing it makes my skin looks afterward. I use it twice a week for just ten minutes, and my face looks completely poreless when I rinse it off.

If you've never heard of The Pink Stuff, your life it about to change forever (in a good way). It's a magical all-purpose cleaning paste that removes dirt, grease, and grime like nothing you've ever seen. This is the only thing I've tried that can make the gross grout in the bathroom of my 112-year-old house look like new again.

Keep your shower essentials within reach with this Tooletries toiletry holder. The patented silicone-grip technology keeps it suctioned securely onto your shower wall, mirror, glass shower door, and a number of other bathroom surfaces. The removable design allows you to peel it off and reuse it over and over again.

If the thought of being pulled over and having to frantically search your car for your insurance and registration paperwork haunts you as much as it does me, this essential auto documents wallet is a must-buy. It keeps paperwork safe, secure, and easily accessible during an emergency.

Once you try this wearable blanket on for the first time, the thought of ever taking it off seems like a cruel punishment. The 100% polyester fleece fabric feels heavenly against your skin, and cozy details like an attached hood, front kangaroo pocket, and long ankle-skimming length keep you warm on even the chilliest days.

I bought this milk frother a few months ago, and when I say that I use it every day, I truly mean it. It's surprisingly powerful, and I've even used it to whip cream and scramble eggs. I love that it includes a stand to keep it clean and easily accessible. I never buy expensive coffee drinks anymore because I can make them myself with my limited barista skills!

This little nightlight/Bluetooth speaker combo is the epitome of a "handy gadget." It features a convenient touch control design, five different light color options, a digital clock display, a Bluetooth speaker that can be controlled with your smartphone, and an alarm clock mode so you can wake up to your favorite tunes.

You might find it hard to believe, but these microfiber cloths remove your makeup using nothing more than water. Just get them wet, gently rub them over your face, and watch in amazement as even long-wear makeup melts away. More than 1,800 shoppers can't stop raving about them (including a few members of our team).

Wanna know what's really going on outside your door when you're not around? This Blink video doorbell from Amazon gives you a whole new perspective. It allows you to answer your door when you're away from home and connects to an app on your phone so you can see and talk to visitors. It even alerts you when motion is detected.

This rapid egg cooker from Dash has earned over 89,000 perfect five-star reviews, which equates to a whole lot of very satisfied egg-loving people. This versatile kitchen tool can hard boil, soft boil, poach, scramble, and even make an omelet in just a few minutes. It cooks six eggs at once and has an auto shut-off feature for added safety.

Our team loves to travel, and these packing cubes were a popular choice for "favorite products." They're waterproof, come in a variety of sizes, and fit perfectly into your suitcase for stress-free packing. You'll arrive at your destination with beautifully organized clothing and toiletries, which is a great alternative to the wrinkled heap that usually falls out when I open my luggage.

Our editorial team must include a few incredibly heavy sleepers because this alarm clock should only be used if you need some serious motivation to get out of bed in the morning. Meet Clocky, the alarm clock on wheels. This little guy will literally jump off your bedside table and force you to chase him down to turn him off. You'll never be late again!

Everything old is new again, and that includes these cute retro claw clips. The set comes with five different colors and is made from thick acrylic for added durability. The jagged teeth provide a non-slip design that keeps even extremely thick hair secure for hours. The rectangular cutouts add a sophisticated touch.

Our team loves wine and has a slight obsession with Halloween, so this bat-shaped wine opener is the best of both worlds. This 2-in-1 corkscrew and bottle opener combo features cute little bat wings that you push down after inserting the corkscrew. Not into bats? It also comes in a much less frightening parrot design.

If you've never heard of a knock box, don't worry; I hadn't either until I saw this product. But now I 100% want one. It's a handy little box that sits next to your espresso or coffee maker that you dump your grounds into after brewing. It not only avoids a mess but also helps you store your grounds if you intend to use them in your garden or for composting.

Self-care starts with upgrading your bedsheets, and this set from Danjor Linens is ultra luxurious with a surprisingly small price tag. The six-piece set includes four pillowcases, one flat sheet, and one fitted sheet. The microfiber fabric feels amazing against your skin, and the lightweight material keeps you cool and comfortable all night long.

If you're looking for something a bit less extreme than Clocky, this compact digital alarm clock is an elegant option. The small size won't take up too much room on your bedside table or dresser, and the large digital display is easy to read from anywhere in your room. The smart brightness dimmer allows you to customize your display with the turn of a knob.

I have this Echo Dot in my kitchen, and I use it constantly. I ask Alexa to tell me the news and weather in the morning, it plays music for my family while we're eating meals, and I can ask it questions while cooking, like "how long do you hard boil an egg?" My three-year-old son also loves to ask Alexa to make fart noises.

If you've made a promise to yourself to finally get organized this year, these food storage containers are a great first step. They're stackable, 100% airtight and leakproof, and have a clear design so you can see what's inside. They also come with stickers and a whiteboard chalk marker for clear labeling.

Think a French press is too complicated for a novice home barista? This one from Bodum will prove you wrong. The simple design involves adding coarsely ground coffee, pouring in some hot water, waiting four minutes, and using the plunger lid to slowly press down the grounds to separate them from the liquid. Then, just pour and enjoy!

I use this vitamin C serum on my face every night before bed, and I noticed a difference in my skin after the first few uses. The powerful formula is packed with antioxidants that visibly brighten and reduce the appearance of age spots for an all-over glow. I love how well it absorbs into my skin, so there's no sticky residue left behind.

My preschooler has become obsessed with popsicles lately, and after looking at the sugar content of our last box, I became slightly horrified. So I switched to these after a friend recommended them. They're made from 100% juice, contain no added sugar, and come in three delicious flavors. My son doesn't even notice the lack of sugar.

Seriously dry and damaged hair requires some serious intervention, and this hydrating hair mask means business. It uses collagen to deeply moisturize, strengthen, and detangle, so locks are oh-so-soft and frizz-free in as little as five minutes. Need a bit more convincing? Check out the amazing before-and-after pics in the customer reviews.

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.

I have a 1-year-old and a preschooler, so showering has become a bit of a luxury. This dry shampoo is part of my morning routine. It absorbs excess oil to keep my roots from looking greasy, and the argan oil and silk proteins hydrate strands and leave hair with a subtle shine. I've made a salon blowout last almost a full week with this magical spray.

Ditch the harmful chemicals and go natural with this Native deodorant. It's made without aluminum, talc, parabens, and phthalates, and, unlike some natural deodorants, it actually works. I love the eucalyptus & mint, but it comes in a variety of exotic scent options such as palm leaf & bergamot and tee tree & sage.

Hauling out the huge blender to whip up a smoothie is enough of a hassle to make you avoid making them altogether, which is why this Magic Bullet is such a mini marvel. The small size won't take up a ton of space on your counter, and the powerful 250W motor shreds ice and frozen fruit in seconds.

This hot air brush from Revlon has earned over 271,000 perfect five-star reviews. Yes, you read that correctly. 271 thousand. And, considering I own one myself, I'm not at all surprised. This tool makes my hair look exactly like it does after my stylist gives me a professional blowout, and I can achieve it in a fraction of the time. This thing will truly change your life.

I have short, stubby lashes that are completely invisible if I'm not wearing makeup, and I've been on a quest to find the perfect mascara that will lengthen them without making them clumpy for years now. This Lash Paradise mascara from L'Oreal Paris does exactly that, and I've even worn it overnight with minimal smudging the next morning. There's a reason this stuff has 65,000 five-star reviews.

I got this air fryer a few weeks ago, and I have now become one of those people who tells everyone they know to buy an air fryer. I've used it for everything from baked potatoes to crispy homemade fries to cookies (yes, you can bake in it), and I love how quickly it heats up and how easy it is to clean.

I have two kids, so I never go anywhere without snacks. I bought these reusable baggies as part of my resolution to cut down on unnecessary waste, and I use them multiple times per week. They're made from strong silicone and can be used in the microwave and freezer. They're even dishwasher-safe for quick and easy clean-up;

Everyone should own a cast iron skillet, and you can score one on Amazon for a surprisingly low price. This one is pre-seasoned with 100% vegetable oil and features a versatile 12-inch size, an assist handle, and a dishwasher-safe silicone handle holder that protects your hands from burns. I love using mine to make sautéed Brussels sprouts.

If the thought of a stylish plunger seems absurd, allow me to introduce you to one of my favorite bathroom accessories: this sleek toilet plunger with holder from OXO. The handy holder automatically opens and closes when you take it out and put it back in, and the quick-drying design allows excess water to evaporate. It can even be carried from one bathroom to another with the convenient locking holder design.

I make a cup of tea every night before going to bed, and this electric kettle makes it a super quick and easy process. The 1000W design boils water in seconds, and the auto-shutoff feature gives me major peace of mind. The gooseneck spout gives me ultra precise control while pouring, and the sage green color is so beautiful.

I'm constantly on the floor playing with my kids, and after a week of waking up with a horribly sore back, I decided to buy one of these cushy pillows with arm and back support. It's filled with shredded foam that conforms to fit your body, and the built-in handle at the top makes it easy for my 3-year-old to move from room to room.

A trash can doesn't have to look like…well…trash. This one has a simple design that looks good with any decor, and the slim, compact size can easily fit in a bathroom or underneath a desk. It's made from durable plastic, and the wooden handle completes the stylish look. Choose from three different colors: white, brown, and light blue.

I insist on bringing water with me everywhere I go, but hauling around my clunky stainless steel water bottle just isn't an option. This flat bottle solves that problem, and it looks good doing it. The slim design can be slipped into a bag, purse, or backpack, and the sleek and modern look is sure to turn a few heads.

I keep this facial roller in the freezer and rub it over my face every morning before I apply my moisturizer. It's made from 100% authentic jade stone, which is known for promoting positive energy and balance. It reduces puffiness, accelerates blood circulation, and stimulates lymphatic drainage. I even find that my face cream absorbs more easily after I use it.

To be honest, I originally bought this electric lighter because it looked so darn cool, and I just had to try it out for myself. But now I use it multiple times per week. The bendable neck can rotate 360 degrees, so it's easy to reach the wick on any type of candle. It's rechargeable, so you never have to change the batteries, and it has a 10-second auto shutoff feature for added safety.

Our team loves this cold brew maker, and, it turns out, we're not alone. It has almost 50,000 five-star reviews, with one shopper describing it as being "surprisingly very sturdy" and having "a premium feel." The best part is how easy it is to use. Just add coffee grounds to the filter, pop it in the fridge to brew for 24 hours, and pour yourself a glass of barista-quality iced coffee from your own kitchen.

Stop digging through your makeup bag to find what you need and switch over to this rotating makeup organizer instead. It features multiple levels and a 360-degree rotating design, so it's easy to track down what you're looking for. The shelves have different heights, so you can find a spot for everything from brushes to skincare and even tall perfume bottles.

An Apple pencil isn't a regular pencil; in fact, it's about 100X cooler (and probably 100X more expensive). So keep it protected with this pencil case. It's compatible with a wide variety of generations, and the unique retractable design keeps the tip safe when not in use. It even has a built-in clip for convenient carrying.

If you're someone who likes to customize everything (who doesn't?), this stainless steel tumbler has your name on it. Choose from 36 different color and pattern options, five different sizes, and two different lid styles (flip lid or straw lid). The double wall vacuum insulated constriction keeps drinks cold or hot for hours, and it's 100% leak and spill-proof.

These chunky gold hoops look way more expensive than they actually are, and I get compliments on them almost every time I wear them. They're plated in hypoallergenic 14K gold and have a thick 5mm wide design that's both classic and trendy at the same time. The set includes a carrying bag that's perfect for traveling.

We've all been in those situations where we don't want to bring a bag or a purse but still have things we need to carry around. These clever scrunchies are the perfect solution to this universally annoying problem. They have a velvety fabric that keeps hair frizz-free, and the hidden interior pocket has enough space to stow on-the-go essentials.

Dry winter air is no match for these exfoliating lip brushes. They're made from a strong yet soft silicone that gently exfoliates without pain or discomfort, and the dual-sided design gives you two different sizes of bristles so you can customize your exfoliation experience. Not only does it buff away dry, dead skin on your lips, but it also boosts circulation for a fuller appearance.

Keeping track of everyday essentials can be tricky. I lost my keys the other day and have yet to find them, so I'm guessing one of my children hid them somewhere and immediately forgot about it. This Apple Air Tag is specifically made for instances like this, since it gives you the exact location of things like your wallet, your keys, or even your pets.

If you have pets or kids (or both, in my case), this carpet and upholstery cleaner is a total game-changer. It lifts away tough stains without breaking a sweat, and even works on furniture and car interiors. Plus, a portion of every purchase goes to the BISSELL Pet Foundation. "I would give 10 stars if I could," says one review. "This machine is awesome!"

Our team works 100% remotely, so leggings are a weekly wardrobe staple. This pair features a flattering high-waisted design, buttery soft nylon spandex fabric that feels like a second skin, and a flatlock construction for added comfort and durability. The four-way stretch moves with your body, making them perfect for workouts, lounging, or, in my case, working from home.

My dog only weighs about 35 pounds, but she's all muscle and is strong enough to pull me all the way over when she lunges at a squirrel. This leash has a nifty shock-absorbing bungee section that keeps me on my feet no matter how much she darts around on our walks. It also includes a seat belt buckle, so she stays safe on road trips.

Your bed could always stand to be comfier, and this duvet insert is the perfect combination of luxurious comfort and clever design. It's stuffed with premium 300 GSM whole-piece polyester fill and covered in a 100% microfiber shell for superior warmth and softness. Eight stretchy tabs at the corners keep it securely attached to your duvet cover.

If you suffer from chronically red and bloodshot eyes, you'd be surprised at how much of a difference these illuminating eye drops could make on your appearance. They instantly brighten and whiten eyes for a more radiant and wide-awake look. They start working in under one minute and the results last for up to eight hours.

Nothing ruins a party faster than a lukewarm glass of wine. Luckily, these freezable wine glasses exist. Simply pop them in the freezer overnight, pour in the drink of your choice, and the special vacuum-insulated design will keep it cold for hours. They even have a built-in silicone insert that keeps hands comfortable.

A friend of mine uses this utility cart to hold all of her son's art supplies, and I immediately stole her idea and bought one for myself. The metal construction is ultra-durable but still lightweight enough to easily roll around, and the three different shelves give you so many storage options. Two lockable wheels keep it in place, and each shelf can support up to 22 pounds.

Your furry friend deserves the very best, and this pet food storage container ensures that their meals are as fresh and delicious as possible. The airtight lid preserves freshness for weeks and keeps it safe from unwanted critters, and the large capacity can hold up to 25 pounds of food. The bottom has four detachable casters, so it's easy to roll around.

It takes me forever to fall asleep, so when a friend recommended I try out this foaming bubble bath with pure epsom salt, I bought it immediately. The lavender scent is incredibly relaxing, and the epsom salt soothes my sore muscles. The aloe vera helps to nourish and moisturize skin and leaves it beautifully hydrated, even during the dry winter months.

I recently swapped out my mismatched plastic hangers for a few sets of these velvet ones, and I can't recommend them enough. The velvety finish keeps clothes from falling off of them, and the built-in notches keep straps in place. The rounded corners prevent something called "shoulder buldges," and while I don't really know what those are, I'd definitely like to avoid them.
