My Best Amazon Finds for Kids and Home

Like a lot of the world, I shop Amazon for everything: home organization, dresses, even food. I went through my (very, very long) order history to pick out the items we most use from my purchases over the last few years. These are the best things we bought from Amazon!

You can find ALL of my “best of” picks on my Amazon Storefront here.

The best kids’ stuff I bought on Amazon

Alphabet puzzle: With 3 little ones in the house, we sing a lot of the ABCs. This puzzle is bright, the pieces are the perfect size, and it seems really well made for the price.

Magnet tiles: Definitely the most-played-with toy in our house! These magnet tiles are GENIUS. Don’t miss the add on packs, like the magnet car bases, roads, and animals.

Crib mattress cover: Waterproof, washable… exactly what you need with little ones in the house.

This kids clothing brand that looks like Janie and Jack: One of my favorite Amazon finds ever, this clothing brand is available in its own stores but is so much easier to just buy on Amazon! I love their preppy style kids clothes at a fraction of the Janie and Jack prices.

Velvet hair bows: I’ve shared these a bunch of times because I love them so much! They come in a big set for a really affordable price.

Linen hair bows: Basically the linen version of the velvet bows.

Plastic cups with lids and straws: We’re on our third set of these now. I packed them when we went to Disney World, when we went to the Cape, and we take them even when we just go for a day trip to the local farm. They’re great for the car because they fit in everyone’s cup holder. Most of our water bottles don’t fit too well in the car seat cup holders.

Stacking cups: The best $3.99 toy for a child!

Home organization

Acrylic bookshelves: I first bought a set of these in 2017 for the nursery, and we loved them so much that I bought another set to replace the white shelving I put in her “big girl room”. (I bought the 24″ version for both kids’ rooms.)

Kitchen storage organizers: I’m spending a lot more time in our kitchen this year, and I get fed up with having a lot of opened bags of granola or chocolate chips. I bought these storage organizers and so far we LOVE them. They’re supposedly shatterproof and have a really tight seal.

Craft organizers: Our preschooler loves doing these foam craft kits, but once you open them up there isn’t a good place to store all of the pieces. I ordered these acrylic craft organizers so we can see exactly what’s in each one.

Garage stroller organizer: My husband hung this up to get our strollers out of the way (so we can actually park our cars in the garage), and it makes everything look so organized. This was definitely a reader favorite when I posted it on Instagram!

Other Home Stuff

Carpet cleaner spray

Little Green cleaner: A great cleaning machine that you can carry around the house! It doesn’t steam like I initially thought it did, but it has a scrub brush and has gotten dried play doh off of our carpet with no issue.

Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer brush review

My favorite item? This volumizing hair dryer. When the world was raving about the newest $500 hair dryer, I bought this one to try – and LOVED it. I bought one for my sister for Christmas one year, too!

What was your best Amazon purchase this year??

    I love the hair dryer too! My best purchases include some blogging supplies like a ring light and flatlay backdrops, but I also got some closet organization supplies.
