Just 38 Things From Amazon You’ll Probably Want To Splurge On

More money more problems — so let's spend it.

1. 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 guests will love.

Amazon

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!!!!)

Read our full review of the Instant Pot, some Instant Pot beginners' tips, Instant Pot recipes, here, and vegetarian recipes.

Get it from Amazon for $59.86+ (available in three sizes).

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

Amazon

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 $43.84+ (available in 14 sizes and 21 colors and prints).

3. A plush down parka jacket with over 4,500 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 $139.99+ (available in sizes XXS-5X and in 10 colors).

4. 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

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 $68.42 and the eight-piece fry pan set for $274.99 from Amazon.

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

Amazon

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. I 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.

6. 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 apartment.

Amazon

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 $74.99.+ (available in sizes XS-XL and in 24 colors).

7. A gorgeous brass-finish Novogratz bar cart designed with leather-wrapped non-slip handles, a glass top shelf, and an antique mirror bottom shelf that'll make for a beautiful little mansion for all your favorite drinks.

Amazon

Promising review: "I am so SO so happy I went with this cart. Every other bar cart I saw in stores was flimsy, cheap, and the metal was not a quality that I'd feel confident piling 30 liquor bottles on without fear of it collapsing. The wheels are great quality and the cart moves with ease completely loaded with bottles/glasses and doesn't drag or scratch my hardwood. VERY happy." —Moriah

Get it from Amazon for $83.59.

8. An ultrasonic and ultra-quiet cool-mist humidifier complete with an essential oil tray, auto shutoff, night-light, and a large-capacity vaporizer.

Amazon

Promising review: "I put this in my bedroom to help with sinus congestion. This thing is powerful. I cranked it up to high and woke up to 58% humidity, which makes you wake up feeling like you inhaled water. Turned it to low and got 49%, which ended up being about perfect. It can run for about three or four nights on low, and the oil diffuser works well if you put enough oil in it. I wake up feeling the least congested in the 48–50% range." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (available in black and white).

9. An Airfly wireless transmitter designed to let you connect your Airpods or any wireless headphones to all those things that don't have Bluetooth — like an airplane seat!!

Amazon

Promising review: "These work amazingly well. I was surprised that you can charge and use them at the same time. I use them on planes to listen to the in-flight entertainment with my AirPods. I also use them to listen to music on my laptop with my AirPods. They work really well. Now, I don't have to carry my wired earbuds with me when I travel anymore. They really work as advertised. I have not had any issues with them since I started using them." —RPL

Get it from Amazon for $44.99 (available in three options).

10. An ion generating Revlon one-step airbrush capable of drying, straightening, and giving your hair the volume you dream of with just one tool.

Amazon, amazon.com

Promising review: "I have 3A/3B curls (I included a pic.) I watched A LOT of reviews on YouTube for this product before I committed to buying it because that's always smart to do when you don't want to waste money. But OMG my results came out better than all the reviews I saw with the girls that had similar hair to mine! The trick is to keep rolling it a few times before you let the strand go. Just like the stylists do when they blow-dry your hair at salons with the large rolling brush. I was able to straighten my hair in 45 minutes on my first time and I could probably do it in less time next time because now I know how to use it. I was worried about my roots not getting straightened like in some of the reviews I saw but nope my roots came out perfect! The trick to that is to hold it at the roots for a few seconds. After a strand is straight and completely dry I'll switch it to cool and pass it through another time. If you want your ends straight and not flipped you'll need a flat iron but I prefer them flipped anyways. Be careful not to burn your hands by accidentally touching the blower. Also, your wrist/hands will get tired but it's still worth it! LOL! Oh, I've also somehow managed to turn the switch accidentally a few times while using it. My hair is amazingly soft and super shiny. The biggest pro for me is that it'll only take me 10 minutes to freshen my hair every day after that first day! Best styling product ever!" —BIANCA

Get it from Amazon for $38.99+ (available in four colors).

11. A previously-owned Louis Vuitton monogram Cartouchere Mini Bag, because one man's unwanted LV bag is your treasure — and deal.

Amazon

Get it from What Goes Around Comes Around on Amazon for $1,095.

12. A beautifully intricate Needle & Thread floral gown just in case you have extravagant places to go and fancy people to see.

Amazon

Get it from Amazon for $570 (available in sizes 0-6).

13. A plush fleece robe, because not all heroes wear capes — some wear sumptuous robes while they make lunches, load the dishwasher, put on flawless makeup, and rule the world.

Amazon

Promising review: "My wife loves this robe. She pretty much wears it all day during the cold months. She equates it to wearing a blanket — which is, of course, a good thing. A must-buy for anyone who likes to feel cuddled in a cocoon of marshmallow cloud candy. Just make sure you buy a size up as this product runs slightly small." —Danny Melin

Get it from Amazon for $43.99 (available in sizes S-XL and in eight colors).

14. A BuzzFeed Tasty One Top designed to connect with your phone and make cooking from any of your favorite Tasty recipes totally easy — the One Top app gives you access to hundreds of recipes and guides you every step of the way. It also has a thermometer that tracks the temperature of liquids, meats, and fishes so you never overcook them and the surface sensor tracks the temperature of your pots and pans.

Amazon

Promising review: "This is so awesome to use with your cast iron pans and to follow Tasty recipes. I love it!" —MoJo

Get it from Amazon for $149 (available in two colors).

15. An elegant cashmere and wool shawl to help you stay warm and looking classy as the temperatures drop.

Amazon

Promising review: "Very good quality, soft, warm, and thick. It is a combination of cashmere and wool but it's not very itchy for this sensitive woman. It truly kept me warm at a very overly air-conditioned wedding reception. I purchased the rose-red color, which is a vivid fuschia and it is beautifully vibrant and accurately portrayed in the picture. Love it!" —Carol Figueroa

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in seven colors).

16. An alarm clock that simulates the sunrise, so waking up (at any time) feels totally natural.

Amazon

Promising review: "This thing is a game-changer! I got it because I got tired of being owned by my phone. It used to be the last thing I checked before going to bed, and the first thing I would check in the morning. No more! Now I can leave the phone charging across the room (or in a handbag even. Who cares?) I can set this for the 'sun to set' at 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes later. So I set it, and I get in bed and read a book for an hour. Then the 'sun goes down' gradually, and I go to bed. Eight hours later, the 'sun' starts coming up gradually. So gradually, that at the beginning, you don't even notice. And you can set sounds in addition to the 'sunrise' effect: birds chirping, ocean waves, classical music, or FM radio (although why on earth would you choose FM radio?). You can set two different wake-up 'alarms'. It doesn't even feel right to call them alarms, because it's not obnoxious or loud. It doesn't jolt you awake. You wake up gradually. This thing is perfect. I'm reading more, sleeping a lot better, and I don't even remember anymore to grab my phone to check social media in the mornings. In fact, sometimes I'll be at the office, and it'll be noon before I realize I left my phone in the car. Drop the dependency on cell phones. It's ridiculous. We're like that movie, Wall-E. Get this and improve your life and your quality of sleep." —Mimi 5000

Get it from Amazon for $104.99.

17. 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, it acts as the perfect invisible dry hairspray that'll help you get the most of your blowout. Check out our full review of Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray.

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.

18. An attention-grabbing pair of snake print Steve Madden Kimari boots that'll easily slither their way into your wardrobe and closet.

Amazon

Get them from Amazon for $99.95 (available in sizes 6-10 and in three colors).

19. An indoor smokeless grill amazing enough to make it onto Oprah's 2018 favorite things list!

Amazon

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 $208.99.

20. 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

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+ (available in 25 scents and three styles).

21. 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

Promising review: "Expensive? Yes. But it makes you smell like an Olympian. Knockdown 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.

22. A set of Lady Gaga's super-pigmented Haus Laboratories liquid eyeshadow filled with six attention-grabbing colors to bring your makeup game up a notch.

Amazon

The Glam Attack holiday set includes: Chained Ballerina - Deep Black With Multi-Color Pearl, Rose B*tch - Soft Mauve With Silver Pearl, Aphrodite - Champagne With Multi-Color Pearl, Legend - Yellow Gold Pearl, Dynasty - Emerald With Multi-Color Pearl, and Biker - Gunmetal With Silver Pearl.

Get it from Amazon for $96 (available individually for $20 a piece).

23. A cozy and pretty in pink Vince sherpa jacket to keep you as snug as a stylish bug all winter long.

Amazon

Get it from Amazon for $395 (available in sizes XS-XL).

24. A pair of foil detailed Beyond Yoga leggings you'll literally live in, so might as well splurge a little.

Amazon

Get them from Amazon for $99 (available in sizes XS-XL).

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

Amazon

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.

26. 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

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. The tray comes off for easy cleaning and storage." —Lakeway Lady

Get it from Amazon for $46.49.

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

Amazon

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 $360.

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

Amazon

Promising review: "Cool and stylish boots! I picked these because they have a white version and they have thick black lug soles that 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 $197.99+ (available in sizes 5-11 and in black and white).

29. 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

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'm impressed with this set. Very well-made, sturdy knives that fit firmly in your hand. There's no skimping here. They feel solid and I'm not afraid of them breaking. It's a nice-looking block — a tad wider than I expected, but I'm getting used to it. For those who like to store their knives sharp-side up — this block allows for that, but the handles on the larger knives don't line up even when they're stored that way. The steak knives can be stored blade-up and look just fine, but if you're one who stores blades facing up AND you like the look of everything being in a straight line, this set will look a little off to you. My wife is a firm believer that blades stay sharper longer and the block gets damaged less if blades are stored with the sharp side up. I'm thrilled with how sharp these are as well as how well-made and sturdy they are. Seeing as how I'm in my late 50's, I imagine we'll have these for the rest of my life." —Daniel Bobinski

Get the set from Amazon for $89.99+ (also available in an 17-piece set).

30. An elegant (and matching) lace Savage X Fenty bralette and bikini bottom undie set that honestly, aren't badly priced at all! But I just want every color so once you do that...it's a bit of a splurge.

Amazon

Get the bralette for $23.85+ (available in sizes XS-XL and in three colors) and the undies for $9.74+ (available in sizes XS-XL and seven colors) from Amazon.

31. A glimmering sequins Endless Rose party dress so you can have everyone you walk by seeing stars.

Amazon

Get it from Amazon for $125 (available in sizes XS-L).

32. A pair of celestial glass pearl and crystal Kate Spade earrings designed to be a little different from one another — basically making them way more fun.

Amazon

Get it from Amazon for $78.

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

Amazon

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

34. A voice- or phone-controlled thermostat that'll learn your preferences based on the time of day and season and make sure your home is always the perfect temperature.

Amazon

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: "I've never had a smart thermostat before, so I have nothing to compare it to. But this Nest device is amazing. Even better, the installation instructions are CLEAR and EASY to understand! There are interactive pictures and a text-based set of instructions online that take you through each step, and troubleshoot along the way. The thermostat works with my Google Mini and of course the Nest app. You can program what times you want the house to be at which temp and it will either start heating/cooling at that time, or you can set it to start before then, so it's nice and comfy when you get home. It has features for dealing with humidity and can even learn your temp preferences and adjust accordingly." —L Williams

Get it from Amazon for $209+ (available in seven colors).

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

Amazon

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 the (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 $54 (available in 11 designs).

And check out Amazon's Holiday Toy Shop — which lets you search by age!

36. 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 $68.99+ (available in sizes 5-10 and in 3 colors).

37. A pair of super chic wide-leg Levi's jeans, 'cause you need to have your winter whites ready.

Amazon

Get them from Amazon for $98 (available in sizes 24-32).

38. 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

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.
