The Amazon Products Our Editors Bought and Loved This Month

Me: “I need to stop buying things on Amazon.” Also me: *hits “Add To Cart” for the fourth time this week.* What can I say… I’m a sucker for two-day shipping, having everything I could possibly need on one website, and being able to stock up on just about anything without having to leave the comfort of my bed. But with a quick review of my ever-growing list of great Amazon finds, I am reassured and once again ask myself, “Why ruin a good thing?” 

CURRENTLY TRENDING / LIVING
don't make the same mistakes I did

This month, I surveyed some trusted Amazon buyers (read: my fellow coworkers) to bring you all some of the best Amazon finds that we treated ourselves to this month. From an internet-famous hair oil to the towel warmer you didn’t know you needed until now, we’ve got your next impulsive “Add To Cart” moment covered. 

Amazon

Puffy Laptop Sleeve

Don’t ask me how I got this far in life without a laptop sleeve, but up until one month ago, I was living life on the edge and my poor laptop was exposed to the elements at all times. As I do with most of my purchases, I found this one on TikTok, and after I saw how beautiful it was (and also received enough looks of shock from my coworkers for living life without one) I finally pulled the trigger. This one fits my aesthetic beautifully and I recommend it to everyone who’s in the market.

Undaria Algae Body Oil

I’ve been on a lymphatic drainage kick (it’s all the rage right now and the benefits are hard to pass up, ICYMI), and I was looking for something to elevate my routine. This body oil not only does the trick in helping rid my body of toxins, but it also delivers antioxidant-rich hydration that softens and tones my skin, sans chemicals and greasy residue. Be prepared for a full-body glow.

Towel Warmer

I gave my husband this towel warmer for his birthday, and it was an instant crowd pleaser. We actually keep it downstairs and use it to warm our slippers and blankets before we snuggle up on the couch after work. As people who love nothing more than to be as cozy as possible, this was a major game changer.

Gold Stainless-Steel Digital Watch

One thing about me is that I always have a watch on my wrist. I’ve had my eye on this one for a while and finally made the purchase when my other watch broke. I was going a bit crazy without the feeling of something on my wrist, and this Casio watch is a perfect addition to my wrist rotations. Until I take my other girl in for repairs, the Casio watch is chic yet still casual enough to spruce up everyday wear. It looks great alone, layered with bracelets, and paired with my other everyday jewelry. If you’re looking for a simple and reliable gold watch, I can’t recommend this one enough.

Ergonomic Office Chair

For someone who works from home full-time, a great desk chair is an absolute necessity—but that doesn't mean I was willing to shell out hundreds of dollars for one. This office chair from Amazon costs less than $150 but looks just as sleek as options that are more than double the price. It also has great features like adjustable lumbar support and padded arms (both musts for me!). Plus, it comes in several different colors to match whatever aesthetic you're going for.

Amazon

Gold Under Eye Patches

I can’t stop talking about these gold under-eye masks! Not only do they leave my eyes looking refreshed because they’re packed with collagen and other hydrating ingredients, but I’m obsessed with how cute and sparkly they are. I feel like I have my life put together when I have them on. Each pack comes with 20 pairs, so they’re perfect for sharing.

– Christina Herbst, Branded Content Editor

Amazon

Crochet Cover-Up Skirt

I scoured the internet for bathing suit coverups that were both cute and affordable for an upcoming trip, and I kept coming back to this one from Amazon. The length is perfect on my 5’7" frame—which can be a challenge sometimes—and the quality is top-notch. For $22, it can’t be beat.

Amazon

Peak Performance Organic Coffee

I’m a biiiig coffee girlie but have always had an issue with caffeine (read: anxiety, jitters, trouble sleeping, all the good stuff). So I’ve been fully decaf for a little over a year since I love coffee for the taste, and the smell alone is enough to wake me up. However, after hearing from my functional doctor and reading multiple studies about how conventional coffee often contains mold, pesticides, etc., I did some research to find a cleaner option. From my research, this coffee from Peak Performance seemed like the cleanest affordable option, but it has bonuses too besides just being cleaner. The coffee beans are grown at a high altitude, which means higher quality and more antioxidants, and it’s low in acid (especially beneficial for me, who has digestive issues). In other words, you can rebrand your coffee addiction as a superfood wellness practice thanks to this bag of ground coffee.

Amazon

Infinity Blue Vase

I’ve been slowly decorating my new house, picking up little things here and there that make it feel a little less Airbnb and a little more homey. When this vase came across my TikTok it immediately went on my Amazon wishlist. I love the dimension and texture it adds to my living room.

– Garri Chaverst, Senior Managing Editor

Amazon

Rosemary Mint Scalp & Hair Strengthening Oil

Just like the rest of TikTok, I was influenced by Alix Earle to try this product, which immediately sold out after she shared her love for it. Mielle Organics, a Black and woman-owned company, is loved for their Rosemary Mint Scalp & Hair Strengthening Oil that users have claimed has made their hair grow like crazy. Since I'm on a mission to do the same, I’m giving it a try. So far, I can say I am definitely a fan of this product.

Favorites From Last Month

Not all Amazon finds hold up months later, but we can attest that these ones are tried-and-true favorites we still love today:

Amazon

Faux Leather Tote Bag

You might have seen this little guy on TEG Instagram stories once or twice, and it’s because I just can’t stop talking about this bag. Here’s what you need to know: It’s held up perfectly for months despite taking it everywhere and anywhere (including plane travel), its design is simple enough that it looks like it could be decently expensive, and it’s only $10. I originally bought this bag as an interim work bag while I was searching for a high-quality investment option, but since I’ve gotten this, my search has been on hold. It gets the job done, is super cute, and literally costs less than my typical Chipotle order.

– Ashley Selleke, Brand Partnerships Manager

Amazon

Velvet Travel Jewelry Box Organizer

I am notoriously the girl that takes off her jewelry and then can’t remember where she put it and panics. I decided that this was the time to get organized and end those panic episodes, so I invested $19.99 in this incredibly high-quality velvet jewelry organizer. It is the perfect size for both weekend and weeklong travel, and I was shocked by how much it can store and also its quality for the price. It could easily be mistaken for being a $100 item. I adore the dusty blue color, but it also comes in a beautiful blush and several jewel tones if that is more your thing.

– Alexandra Pagar-Wolf, Chief of Sales and Marketing

Amazon

Toiletry Bag

One of my favorite hobbies is traveling and road tripping around California. With road trips and travel come a lot of time spent in the air or the car, and it can be so easy to get unorganized. This hanging makeup bag holds literally all of the full-sized products and makeup I use on a daily basis. My favorite part is that it can be hung so that all of my makeup brushes and products stay sanitary when I am staying someplace new.

– Kirra Wallace, Graphic Designer

Amazon

4 in 1 Candle Accessory Set

I’ve decided to take my love of candles (especially during the cold winter months to create a much-needed at-home hygge vibe) to the next level this year with this budget-friendly candle accessory set. Not only is it cute to display, but it’ll be really useful in keeping my favorite candles burning longer.

Amazon

Sleeping Mask with Built-In Bluetooth Headphones

I bought these as stocking stuffers for a few of my favorite family members and they have been raving about them ever since. If you have trouble sleeping or travel frequently, these are a must for getting plenty of rest. The bluetooth headphone is built into the mask but is movable so you can adjust it to fit your ears and never have to worry about them falling out if you roll over or readjust in the night.

Amazon

Insulated Tumbler with Straw

I have now purchased this cup three times after losing it once and my best friend stealing it after I got the first one replaced because it is that good. I love that it comes with two different lids for hot or cold liquids and two reusable straws. It’s super durable and keeps my water cold all day. My water intake has definitely increased since I got this cup.

Amazon

Noise Reduction Earplugs

A while back, I found myself constantly wearing noise-cancelling headphones over my ears without any music playing just because I liked the noise-reduction aspects. However, I'd get frustrated hearing the little trill telling me that they had low battery. I suddenly had the realization: "Duh, earplugs exist for this exact reason." To put it very simply, these tiny earplugs are life-changing. Roommates too noisy on your only day to sleep in? Earplugs. Live on the second floor of your building next to the city's latest construction project that's never going to end? Earplugs. I take them everywhere with me, from traveling to just wanting to wind down and read, and I can't imagine life without Loops. Did I mention they're super cute and come in multiple colors?

Amazon

Cordless Advanced Water Flosser

You know you are officially “older” when toothcare items are on your wishlist, but here I am. I am admittedly not that great at flossing everyday and wanted to get into a better routine. I love how simple this is to use and how clean my teeth and gums feel after I use it. I have been in a really solid routine of using at least one per day, and I can see and feel the difference in my gums. I am looking forward to my upcoming dentist appointment to hear many words of praise on how healthy my gums look.

– Alexandra Pagar-Wolf, Chief of Sales and Marketing

Amazon

Hydrocolloid Acne Spot Treatment

I’ve repurchased the original Mighty Patches multiple times, so in my last Amazon order, I decided to try out these Micropoint Hydrocolloid patches as well. I tend to get a few larger, hormonal acne spots every month, and these patches really help combat those. They’re made for those under-the-skin, painful breakouts, so they can get to the problem areas that the original patches can’t.

Amazon

Label Maker Machine

This label maker has been sitting in my Amazon “Save for Later” list for ages. I’ll periodically come across something that could use a label, think to myself how nice having one would be, not buy one, and move on with my life. I’m thrilled to announce this vicious cycle has finally come to an end. I love this label maker because it connects to my phone through an app, so I can type exactly what I want on my phone, hit print, and get to labeling. If spring cleaning is on your horizon, you’re going to want this.

Amazon

Acrylic Monitor Stand Riser

Let me introduce you to the one single purchase that has completely transformed my WFH life. I absolutely love my desk, but it has one major, glaring drawback: It’s tiny. There’s barely enough room for everything I need (seriously, my mousepad is always dangerously close to falling off the front edge). I’ll eventually upgrade to something bigger, but now’s not the time. Enter: this beautiful three-piece monitor stand. By lifting my laptop and monitor just a few inches above my desk, I now have so much more space. It transformed my desk from a cluttered mess into a sleek workspace in one fell swoop. 10/10 would buy again.

– Garri Chaverst, Senior Managing Editor

Amazon

Slim Wireless Keyboard

When I fully transitioned to working here full-time (read: working from home and hunching over a laptop for a majority of the day), my back was not happy. After a few weeks of having to take hourly stretch breaks to help ease my aches and pains, I decided to tackle the root of the issue by getting a laptop stand and this wireless keyboard and mouse. It’s so much more ergonomic and the numeric keypad has been such a game changer for inputting metrics. The keys are extremely satisfying to type on and the mouse has made scrolling and clicking so much more intuitive.

– Ashley Selleke, Brand Partnerships Manager

Amazon

Criss Cross Sports Bra

I bought this sports bra immediately after seeing it labeled on Instagram as a lookalike for Lululemon. If it wasn't for the logo, I would swear it was high-end. I normally wear a C/D bra and love the amount of support this provides when I'm riding on the Peloton or doing a strength training class. I followed the size chart on Amazon exactly and had no issues with fit.

– Allyson Trammel, Editor-in-Chief

Amazon

Big Hair Claw Clips

My other claw clips were just not cutting it for my long hair. Someone suggested giving these a try, and they have been a game-changer for actually holding my hair up. If you have longer or thicker hair and struggle with normal claw clips, I highly suggest switching to these. They come in packs of four so I like to at least keep one in my bag, in my bathroom, and on my desk so one is always nearby when needed.

Amazon

Crocodile Shoulder Bag

I came across this purse when I was looking for a new shoulder bag, and this one is both cute and affordable. I use this more often now than my other purses because it is so simple and goes with most outfits. And as someone who loves to have everything they need on them when they leave the house, I appreciate how much it can hold for a shoulder bag.
