I’ve never been much of an Amazon shopper to tell you the truth. Over the years I would buy a random item but never anything regular. So many of my friends and many of you told me how you basically buy everything and anything on Amazon so I asked for tips on how to shop Amazon since it can be so overwhelming. Here are a few of the suggested tips for shopping on Amazon that you gave me:
- Often if the item has thousands of reviews, then you feel it is a legitimate retailer and feel comfortable purchasing from them.
- “Fulfilled by Amazon” is something many of you look for when determining if a seller is reputable to purchase from.
- I myself try to look for the brand itself selling on Amazon and purchase from their store front.
- An “Amazon’s Choice” or “Best Seller” banner at the top of the product page is something to look for as well and can denote a more reliable retailer.
- Many of you told me when searching for an item, you sort by reviews and then only stick to the top reviewed items or the ones with 4+ stars.
After familiarizing myself with your feedback, I noticed all the top reviews, star ratings, “Amazon’s Choice” and found it easier to seek out the sellers to purchase from. I went from hardly ever purchasing on Amazon to buying something at least 2-3x/month! Ha! You guys told me this would happen. While I don’t have anything that I buy on regular replenishment at this point (we go to Costco for Miles’ diapers), I have bought a few things multiple times (GG crackers!). And because I myself always like to know what people are buying (from any store to be honest, I am so nosy), I thought I would share all my Amazon purchases from the past few months.
1. Miles’ elephant hamper – I initially saw this hamper on Pinterest and just googled “elephant wicker hamper” and found it on Amazon. You can see how I styled it in Miles’ nursery in this post.
2. Beanies for Miles – I love hats and am determined to have Miles love them too. Ha! These are so cute and make him look like a little hipster. See him wearing them in this post.
3. Elmo’s dog bed – The best dog bed I have ever bought him! He loves this thing – and so many of you bought it as well after I shared it on my Insta-stories and your animals are crazy about it too. I wish they made one in my size.
4. Jade roller – I wanted to try this skincare tool and this one had good reviews, and was not too pricey. It’s held up really well after the past few months of using it a few times a week. Here is my full review on the jade roller and how I use it.
5. Nail polish remover – This is my favorite nail polish remover but I always have a hard time finding it so I buy multiple bottles at a time.
6. Winter boots – I saw these boots on Instagram but they were sold out almost everywhere. However I managed to track down a pair on Amazon and love them so much! See them styled in this post.
7. Vital proteins – These are collagen peptides which are great for hair, skin and nails. I’m almost out and will be buying the creamer version next.
8. Fisher Price seat for Miles – Miles loved this chair as soon as he was around 3 months old! I plan to buy these for all my friends that are pregnant.
9. GG crackers – These fiber crackers are getting a ton of buzz right now so I decided to try them. To be honest, they taste like cardboard but have high fiber content which is supposed to help your digestive system. I will be reviewing them in an upcoming wellness post!
10. F-Factor Diet book – I didn’t buy this to lose weight but more to learn more about the idea of adding more fiber into my diet. I’ll also be reviewing this in my upcoming wellness post.
11. PB2 powdered peanut butter – As an alternative to regular peanut butter, this powdered formula has less calories and fat. It’s not the same completely in taste and texture, but works great in smoothies.
12. Trader Joe’s seasoning – Ugh, Trader Joe’s is a 30 minute drive from us so I order this off Amazon because I can’t be without it! I put this seasoning on absolutely everything.
13. Lily’s chocolate chips – I heard about these on the F-Factor Instagram and ordered them immediately. They are sweetened with stevia and are much lower in calories and fat than regular chocolate. It’s a healthier alternative when I want a sweet treat.
14. Straw tote – I wanted a basic straw tote and found this one for $40!
15. White noise machine for Miles – As soon as Miles began turning over to sleep on his tummy he began to wake up more at night. We bought this machine to help soothe him as we heard it can help babies get and stay in REM sleep longer. We haven’t had it long enough to notice a huge difference but we use it every time he goes down for a nap and when he goes to sleep at night.
16. Ghost chair for my office – I have this at my desk in my office. To be honest, it’s more for aesthetics than comfort. I put a pillow on it to help make it more comfortable on my butt. LOL See it styled in my home office decor post.
17. Coffee table books (I have this one, this one and this one) – Coffee table books are SO expensive but for some reason I have found that they many are cheaper on Amazon! You can see how I style them in my home office here.
