Just 27 Splurge-Worthy Things You Can Get On Amazon

You actually really need these things.

1. A plush down parka jacket with over 4,300 five-star reviews, to help keep you looking fab — even if that fabulous means being outside in nature and freezing.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "Love it! Has done well in light rain and light snow (so far). Kept me warm in 30 degrees in the Pacific Northwest! I’m 5’4", 98 lbs, female, and I bought the XXS. Fits well with room for sweaters. Love all the pockets!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $99.99 (available in sizes XXS-XXL and in five colors).

2. A brand-spanking-new set of durable, hard-anodized aluminum, even-heating, nonstick cookware and a roasting pan to help you prepare for all your holiday festivities.

amazon.com, amazon.com

The eight-piece dishwasher-safe set includes 8- and 10-inch omelet pans, 1 1/2- and 2 1/2-quart saucepans with lids, and an 8-quart stock pot with lid. The set also comes with a lifetime warranty.

Promising review: "Really nice pans! I have a huge set of the original Calphalon hard anodized and they do not have a nonstick lining. After 20 years of cooking without a nonstick pan, I finally decided to break down and buy this set. I am really pleased with them. The handles are a bit different than my originals, but they live up to the high-quality Calphalon name. They cook beautifully. Temperature is evenly distributed and the cleanup is amazing — a paper towel is all you need. Highly recommend this set." —Catlady536

Get the Calphalon roasting pan for $68.87 and the eight-piece fry pan set for $176.40 from Amazon.

3. An Amazon-exclusive L'Occitane set filled with everything you need to feel relaxed and refreshed throughout your journey.

amazon.com

The set includes the award-winning L'Occitane 20% Shea Butter Hand Cream plus travel-size versions of the Immortelle Essential Water, Immortelle Precious Cleansing Foam, Immortelle Divine Cream, Shea Butter Rose Hand Cream, Shea Butter Foot Cream, Almond Milk Concentrate, Almond Shower Oil, and the Verbena Shower Gel.

Promising review: "Lovely, comforting scent. I just purchased a few different brands of fancy hand crème and while I prefer the floral fragrances, the texture and fragrance of this are really wonderful. I wash my hands constantly at work and this has really, REALLY helped. A little goes a long way and the size of the tube is pretty generous compared to the other fancy brands out there. Was a big fan of C&E for years but honestly, I feel the quality is superior to most others out there." —Amazon Customer

Get the nine-piece set from Amazon for $58.

4. An Amazon Echo Spot that'll work as your calendar, alarm clock, news provider, phone, radio, shopping list holder, audiobook player, and so much more!! It's basically your personal assistant.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I am not one for reviews but I just had to write this. This thing is a work of art. My whole house is a smart house, from my locks to my thermostats. I have an Echo, four Echo Dots, and now an Echo Spot. I love this. It works as expected. I am a total Apple Guy but I choose Alexa over Siri any day. Amazon has knocked it out of the park!" —Apple Guy

Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (available in white and black).

5. A flowy cowl-neck Finders Keepers midi dress so you have your holiday party OOTD covered.

amazon.com

Get it from Amazon for $68.40+ (available in sizes XXS-L and in three colors).

6. A dry texturizing spray to build volume and texture that'll last for days — giving you just a few more minutes curled up in your warm bed on those chilly fall mornings.

instagram.com

Using patented polymers to absorb oils, Oribe's Dry Texturizing spray acts as the perfect invisible dry hairspray that'll help you get the most of your blowout. Check out our full review here.

Promising review: "It's a hairspray, texturizer, and dry shampoo. It smells delicious and expensive. It's a bit more of a flexible hold, in that you can move your hair into a style and it will stay but won't look and feel crunchy." —TheOtherLaura

Get it from Amazon for $46.

7. A really awesome app-enabled R2-D2 droid, because Santa's a busy guy and could maybe use the help.

amazon.com

Promising review: "This thing is awesome! The build quality is amazing, it's nice and heavy, sturdy, and detailed. I've tested it on hardwood floors and on (relatively thin) carpet at work, he zips along just fine on both. The sound effects are straight-up movie accurate, and he's got a ton of different pre-canned actions/reactions, even the classic 'oh damn I just got blasted' fall-over effect. The best part of all: The kid loves it and the dog is freaked out by it!" —Meltown

Get it from Amazon for $55.65.

8. A faux-leather Blank NYC denim and moto jacket for when you wanna look like you're all layered up but don't want any of the added bulk.

amazon.com

Get it from Amazon for $128 (available in sizes XS-L).

9. A 12-piece stainless steel knife set, since it's about time you upgraded the set you "borrowed" from your parents' kitchen 10 years ago.

amazon.com

Made of high-carbon stainless steel blades and super-comfy poly handles, this set comes with a wide range of knives for all your food preparation needs, including a 7.75-inch chef knife, 7-inch santoku knife, 5-inch utility knife, and an 8-inch slicer knife. It's backed by a lifetime warranty, so you won't have to worry about "wasting" your money with this set, and the stained-wood block will look great on any countertop.

Promising review: "I always hand-wash and dry my knives right after use. I bought these to replace my Henckels knife set, and let me say — I had NO idea what I was missing. The assortment of knives are the perfect combination, and boy, they are SHARP! I was making dinner for my boyfriend and commented how I didn't know what I ever did before we got these knives. They are SO sharp! The price on Amazon is unbeatable. I am REALLY pleased with this investment!" —Miss Golden

Get the set from Amazon for $89.11+ (also available in an 18-piece set).

10. A programmable Instant Pot that can act as a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, sauté, yogurt maker, and food warmer to help you prepare a delicious dinner all your dinner guests will love.

amazon.com

With nearly five stars and 22,000 reviews on Amazon, the Instant Pot's kinda high price is easily justifiable. People everywhere swear by the convenience, delicious recipes, and all-around awesomeness of this 7-in-1 pot. It's so popular, Williams-Sonoma offered classes where they shared their favorite tips, tricks, and recipes. (They even share how to make cheesecake in one — CHEESECAKE!!!!)

Get it from Amazon for $69.95+ (available in three sizes).

11. A 65-piece homeowner's toolkit with everything you need to get those little projects taken care of around your house.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I've purchased three of these, all for folks who have two left thumbs, just bought houses, and who I know do not own any tools and need the basics. Everyone should have a toolkit around because you never know when a nice, friendly neighbor will come over and offer to fix stuff for you — you just need the tools! I have had one for four years and I go into this toolbox at least twice a week, even if it is just for the tape measure." —Dr. Oceanfront

Get the 65-piece Stanley homeowner's tool kit from Amazon for $37.97; explore all the tool options Amazon has here.

12. A holiday-inspired Nest candle that smells like the perfect blend of pomegranate, Mandarin orange, pine, cloves and cinnamon with a hint of vanilla and amber.

amazon.com

Promising review: "A wonderful scent! I cannot say enough good things about this candle. It burns slow and steady, I've lit it now several nights in a row and there's barely a dent in it. I believe longevity will be good. The scent is wonderful, smells just like the holidays and is not overpowering. I've received compliments from friends who've stopped by when I have it burning." —N. George

Get it from Amazon for $42.

13. A smooth-rolling Samsonite Winfield 28-inch hard-shell suitcase so you can glide through the airport like you aren't carrying a million and one things.

amazon.com

The Samsonite 28-inch hard-shell has over 800 five-star reviews on Amazon, with people praising its roomy design and durability.

Promising review: "Bought the purple version and am in love with it! Perfect size for international travel lasting more than two weeks. Super light (so I won't have to worry too much about packing/bringing back gifts), the color is noticeable but not flashy, and it moves great. I also love that it has a built-in TSA lock." —Marlena Kubota

Get it from Amazon for $119.99+ (available in nine colors). Check out some more affordable suitcase options, a guide to carry-on luggage for 24 airlines, and a few of our favorites.

14. A pair of attention-grabbing leather Sam Edelman booties designed with an absolutely perfect (and walkable) 2-inch heel.

instagram.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "Love this black suede bootie, so chic yet with a nice low heel for comfort. I normally wear a 7.5 M but with some brands I need an 8 M. Sam Edelman is definitely one of those brands! So think about sizing up 1/2 size for maximum comfort. So glad I purchased these booties." —ann wlad

Get them from Amazon for $29.99–$160 (available in sizes 4-12 and in 19 colors).

15. An indoor smokeless grill amazing enough to make it onto Oprah's favorite things list!

amazon.com

If you're all about that BBQ life, don't worry about putting it on hold just because it's winter. This smokeless indoor grill uses advanced infrared heating technology, which cooks your food to perfection while reducing the amount of smoke and oil splattering caused by burning fat.

Promising review: "Well I must say, I have tried many indoor grills over the years. I live in a condo in Florida and have always missed a nice steak on the grill. I was a little nervous spending over 200 bucks on another indoor grill, but I am sure glad I did. This grill is the best I have seen to date. It cooks a nice filet mignon in six minutes on each side (medium rare) with little to no smoke. It was great! The trick is to let it heat up for seven to eight minutes before putting anything on it. I would highly recommend this great." —zt696

Get it from Amazon for $247.99.

16. A massive bottle of Jack Black's Turbo Wash that uses rosemary, juniper berry, and eucalyptus to help energize your body — use it before your workout in a warm shower to help your muscles loosen up and awaken your senses.

amazon.com

Promising review: "Expensive? Yes. But it makes you smell like an Olympian. Knock down doors, make that person yours, and smell great while doing it. Honestly, this is what Jesus would smell like. Buy it." —Joshua Johnson

Get it from Amazon for $50.

17. An epic, magical, and just freakin' amazing Lego Hogwarts kit that'll have you bringing the world of Harry Potter to life!

amazon.com

Promising review: "It is not exactly the entire Hogwarts castle — however, it is a must for any Harry Potter Lego fan, like me, to have this set. It is a beautiful piece of architecture, like a cathedral. The mini figures are a must also: Professor McGonagall, Quirrell, Hagrid, Nearly-headless Nick, Susan Bones etc. I also like the Phoenix. The basilisk, although short, is good enough. I like Scabbers and Hedwig, but I don’t see Crookshanks so I got a Hermione w/Crookshanks mini figure. The price is a bit high. Overall, I love it and I am thinking of getting the train set next time." —StanleyMeow

Get it from Amazon for $99.95.

18. A Nest learning thermostat with energy-saving indicators so you can save money on your heating bill as the temperature gets colder.

amazon.com

As temperatures begin to drop, your heating bill goes up. Trying to find the perfect balance of warm, comfortable, and not having your dad yell at you for even thinking of going near the thermostat is a very delicate dance. With Nest, you don't have to worry about any of that! As the first thermostat to receive an Energy Star from the EPA, it learns the temperatures you like and programs itself, turns itself down when nobody's home, stores your energy history so you can see how much you use and why, connects to Wi-Fi so you can control the temperature from your computer or phone, lights up to show you the time, temperature, and outside weather, and works with Google Home and Amazon Alexa. The only thing it doesn't seem to do is make you breakfast!

Promising review: "Love my Nest! Installation was very simple, and it's been working great. Our first week (when it 'learned' our habits) fell during a transition week in the fall when we alternated between the AC and the heat. The system was still able to put together a fairly good pattern for us. The app is also very easy to use." —MDS

Get it from Amazon for $199.99 (available in four colors).

19. A set of pajamas so comfortable you'll feel like you're wrapped in clouds while you sleep — or while you wear them for 48 hours straight, because you don't leave your damn apartment.

amazon.com

Promising review: "Haven't worn sleepwear in decades and decades, but had no choice in this co-ed vacation cabin on the lake. Expected to toss and turn and get all twisted up the first night. Not for a second! Slept like a baby. And looked great crawling out of bed, too. Taking a break from vacation just to tell you how much I love these pajamas. I'm 5"2". Usually a size medium. Bought these in a large and glad I did, although I had to have legs and sleeves shortened. I like that they're a bit loose, and even then I don't find the V-neck too revealing." —damelfish

Get the set from Amazon for $107.15.+ (available in sizes XS-XL and in 24 colors).

20. A rotating pizza oven, because you don't need a reason to spend all your dough on something that'll make you oven-fresh pizza whenever you want!

amazon.com

The Presto Pizzazz Plus is the countertop pizza oven you never knew you needed. Its continuously rotating tray makes sure your fave frozen (or fresh) pizza gets baked evenly while baking it from both sides (but also lets you select just the top or bottom heaters). It also has an auto-shutoff and nonstick baking pan, and saves you a ton on your energy bill because it uses 60% less energy than your oven.

Promising review: "I was somewhat bewildered by the great reviews. The design just didn't look like it would cook a pizza very well. But I thought 'what the heck!' We were remodeling our kitchen and my husband likes to put his pizza on the oven rack. That was not going to happen with my new oven! So I bought this as a 'Father's Day gift.' (Ha! He saw right through that plan.) But it's been great. Lifesaver during remodeling. We could still eat pizza. Not a whole lot different than using a regular oven. Tray comes off for easy cleaning and storage." —Lakeway Lady

Get it from Amazon for $41.99.

21. A pair of tall matte Hunter boots that if you don't already own, it's about time you went ahead and splurged on.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I love them. They are AWESOME!! I will use them for YEARS!! We go up north (MI) and have a garden area in suburbia that is quite wet. Plus I have two teens and have to clean up after them. Great fashionable mom purchase! ❤️❤️" —CK

Get it from Amazon for $80+ (available in sizes 5-11 and in 13 colors).

22. A lavish cashmere travel set just in case you're gonna be taking a long voyage home.

amazon.com

Look, a lot of us travel back home for the holidays and those flights can be long, uncomfortable, and just plain miserable. Why not invest in a few little things that'll make you feel like you're flying first class. This soft AF set includes a cashmere blanket, eye mask, socks, and a luxurious little pouch to carry them all in (which doubles as a pillow).

Get it from Amazon for $330.

23. A beautifully printed Diane von Furstenberg midi dress you can wear to holiday parties, work, church, Target (which some people would consider their church), and so many more places!

amazon.com

Get it from Amazon for $468 (available in sizes 2-14).

24. An Awair air-quality monitor you use in conjunction with an app to track the chemicals, fine dust, CO2, humidity, and temperature in your very own home that's totally worth the investment.

amazon.com

Promising review: "The Awair second edition looks like a beautiful piece of art or as if it’s part of my living room set. The five types of sensors are giving me data about my living space that is crucial to my health. The app is excellent, gives me alerts and a one-week history of my data. It would be great if the app did some more correlation between my historical data for me to draw some conclusions. Also, it could present outdoor environmental data as well since it did ask me for my location." —D. Negrin

Get it from Amazon for $171.51.

25. A badass pair of practical Marc Jacobs booties that'll look so damn good with everything you own. SO. DAMN. GOOD.

amazon.com

Promising review: "Cool and stylish boots! I picked these because they have a white version and they have thick black lug soles which are non-slip. Patent leather is notoriously very stiff when you first wear it and these boots are no exception. I walked around the house for an hour on the carpet just to make sure these wouldn't give me a problem and it was a good idea. Wore these around campus — my job requires walking and standing — and the patent leather has stretched a bit to accommodate the shape of my foot. No blisters. Ordered an 8.5, which is my normal size. However, if you have a wider foot or if you are going to wear thick socks with these boots, you may consider going up half a size since it's patent leather. Overall a great boot that goes easily with cropped jeans, pants, dresses, and skirts." —Moonrocker21

Get them from Amazon for $174.52+ (available in sizes 5-11 and in black and white).

26. A 100% cotton weighted blanket designed to offer the gentle sensation of being held, which encourages a deep, healthy, restful sleep.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I’d read the great reviews for this and was hopeful it would help increase sleep time and comfort, and wow! Before I received this weighted blanket, according to my Fitbit, I was averaging about four and a half hours of sleep per night due to pain. My first night with this blanket and I slept over seven hours!! Same for my second night. This is so comfortable and comforting. I’m recommending this to everyone I know!" —Jamie Eubanks

Get it from Amazon for $69.50+ (available in 12 sizes and 13 colors).

27. And an Amazon Prime membership so you can start your holiday shopping early (or on time, depending on who you ask), and get everyone exactly what they want — with free shipping.

amazon.com

Having a Prime membership is amazing all year, but it's especially great during the holiday season when stores are packed, shipping is expensive, and you're like me and wait until the last possible second. Prime members get tons of exclusive deals, merchandise, two-day shipping options, and so much more! Explore just some of the perks you can get with Prime here.
