Favorite Amazon purchases of 2018

INSIDE : Check out all of my very Favorite Amazon purchases from last year!  This is the REAL LIFE favorite items I bought in Home Decor, Cleaning Items, Fashion, Kids’s Books + Toys.

About a month ago, I saw someone do a post on their favorite Amazon purchases from last year and I don’t know why but I found it SO fascinating and helpful.  It wasn’t a list of just the fun fluffy “summer tees” they love but only own maybe one of.  It was a list of their REAL LIFE favorite Amazon purchases.

I immediately went to my Amazon orders and clicked on 2018 and thought I LOVED some of these things… I wonder if other people would be interested in seeing what I bought for my family last year.

So here we go.  Most of the items were things for kid’s birthdays, Christmas, etc… so although I don’t typically do a ton of kid related things on the blog today’s post will have a heavy kid section.

We have Amazon Prime and clearly do most shopping this way, don’t judge the length of this list – this was the best from the entire year!

FAVORITE HOME DECOR ITEMS:
8″ Disco Ball – I LOVE having this catch the morning sunlight!
Blue + White Buffalo Check cloth napkins – Ah, these are such fun to use.
Feather Pillow Insert – Any decently prized feather pillow insert is a good idea.

FAVORITE MISC HOME ITEMS:
A 2 pack of glass Soap Dispenser bottles – I even got my sister to buy these.
Biscuit cutters – I started making JoAnna Gaine’s Biscuits + Gravy recipe and these were a must.

FAVORITE ADULT BOOKS:
Weaving Within Reach – My friend Anne wrote this book and I got a free copy.  However, it was SO gorgeous I ended up buying one for my sister.

FAVORITE FASHION ITEMS:
I bought a Blue Polka Dot dress from Amazon and was shocked with how much I love it.
Dr. Scholl’s Classic Slides – I grew up seeing my Mom rock these in the 80’s and now I’ve got to say, I adore their retro vibe.  I just bought myself ANOTHER pair (I now have tan + black).
New Apple Watch Band – I got the Hawksbill color and have really liked it.
