    These 38 Awe-Worthy Items Are All From Amazon, But That'll Be Our Little Secret

    Nordstrom, Sur La Table, West Elm...please explain how these are not from you.

    1. A JW Pei scrunched baguette bag for people who know sweatpants are fashion so long as their bag makes a statement.

    reviewer with the lavender version

    This hip label is Chinese American- and family-owned and makes its gorgeous bags with vegan leather and recycled plastic!

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Kayla Boyd has this and raves: "When I started seeing this new 'It bag' all over Instagram, I knew I had to have it. What shocked me was the fact that it's less than $100! The quality is amazing — the vegan leather is sturdy, it has a nice faux suede lining, and the magnetic closure actually stays closed. The adorable 'scrunchie' design is such a great way to jazz up an outfit. Plus, it's a great size for the necessities like my phone, wallet, keys, mask, and lip gloss. I definitely plan on buying more colors!" 

    Promising review: "I needed more 'date' bags as most of my bags are huge. I ordered this and it's exquisite. Soft and not too small. Big enough for a small purse, my keys, lipstick, extra face mask, and iPhone. Highly recommend." —Techy

    Promising review: "The deep wells on this rug make big chunky ridges that feel great under your bare feet. The construction and color are perfectly stunning. I put in in my lake house where people and pets are coming in and out from the mud, the lake, and the pool, and I love that it disguises dirt and isn’t too delicate for spills." —SID

    Price: $67.19 (for the 4'x6' version; available in nine colors and various sizes)

    I own these glasses! My husband and I wanted something more upscale than standard water glasses for when we have people over for dinner, but didn't want wineglasses. These were the perfect find. They are easy to wash and look great on display in our open cupboards.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "Because I purchase a lot from Amazon, I don't often write reviews unless I am exceptionally happy with the product, and this one qualifies! My order came meticulously well packed and protected. All hardware was included with an additional packet of extra hardware, just in case. Directions are well written and easy to understand. All parts were labeled with stickers or printed on the bags. All the pieces are finished with no raw edges showing anywhere, even on the back. There is great attention to detail, including felt pads for the bottom and stick-ons to hide a few exposed screw heads on the legs. The materials appear very solid and high quality. The hardware and assembly design ensures a strong and solid build. The assembly process itself went very smoothly. The first cabinet took my husband and I about an hour and a quarter to assemble. The second cabinet took about 45 minutes. I highly recommend this product." —Liz

    Promising review: "I’ve assembled dozens of beds, dressers, and nightstands from Ikea and Amazon. Out of every piece of furniture I’ve assembled this was the highest quality and easiest. The added tool they give you is a really nice touch. The hook and loops on the slats keeps them very secure. The hardware and the wood goes together so easily. The wood also smells really nice. For the price, looks, and ease of assembly, this is a really nice value." —Eric

    I have a Solo Stove and it is SUCH a hit! We use it on our back porch almost every night.

Don't hesitate...you want this.

    I wasn't kidding when I said we've been using this instead of our (currently non-functioning) kitchen. The image on the right is the stove on our back porch. The pizza it makes? Perfection. 

    Promising review: "This is a very good wood-fired pizza oven. With minimal effort and nine minutes per pizza we made 12 pizzas that were fantastic! Tip: use good dry, hardwood like oak or hickory to get a hot oven and add wood as necessary. The crust was wonderfully smokey and charred with beautiful professional color on top and bottom." —George D.

    Price: $199.99+ (available in three styles)

    Price: $14.99 (available in seven styles)

    15. A pair of pointed-toe sandals with juuust enough of a heel (we're talkin' less than 2 inches) to elevate your look. Put a little pep in your step with these beautiful shoes and you'll get away with wearing a white tee and midi skirt all season long.

    Check out a TikTok of the cheese slicer in action. 

    Promising review: "My mother-in-law had purchased one last year and I tried hers at Christmas and fell in love with how easy it was to use. We have a lot of get togethers with friends and cheese is a staple appetizer in our house. So I purchased my own and have been using it weekly since. It cuts easily and it's mostly easy to clean. Sometimes cheese gets stuck in the crack but some scrubbing with a small brush usually does the trick." —Jessica

    Price: $18.76 (available in two styles)

    17. A stainless steel Memobottle — a water bottle that could genuinely double as a clutch, specifically designed for travel. These flat bottles are insulated, leakproof, and come in four sizes designed with intention (i.e. to be packed as easily and efficiently as possible). If you're on TikTok, you'll know why these travel bottles are really *taking off*.

    Promising review: "I believe this has been my best purchase of 2023. This water bottle is well designed, holds water well and brings unnecessary attention but it’s welcomed. 😈 It creates a different drinking experience and it’s unique yet awkward design fits in all bags. Even fits in my Vespa perfectly. I want to say the price is a little steep in my opinion, but after weeks of use, I get it." —Aaron V. 

    Price: $55+ (available in two colors and three sizes)

    18. A Corico dish designed specifically for hiding olive and cherry pits. Go ahead, make your cheese boards glorious! Thanks to this dish, there won't be any leftover bits to make it look like the ~pits~. 

    dish with raised center and hole for pits with olives and other foods around it
    Amazon

    I have this dish! My husband and I love hosting dinner parties and particularly like having a cheese plate out. This has been such a lovely solution for hiding olive pits! It keeps the board looking nice and saves folks from fumbling around with pits on their plates. I love it! 

    Price: $30

    19. A satin headscarf that'll basically be the Optimus Prime of wardrobe staples. (Don't get the reference? Congratulations, you're not as nerdy as me.) Because it transforms into so many different pieces. Wear this on your head, around your neck, tied to a handbag, or even as a top.

    Travel with this and your carry-on luggage could be the size of a lunchbox.

    Price: $8.99 (available in dozens of prints and colors)

    20. retro-style smoothie maker, which is, to put it lightly, overwhelmingly lovely. This includes a mason jar mug and smoothie bottle, making it the perfect blender for a two-person household. This thing is a Power Puff Girl level appliance — darling, for sure, but it can pulverize ice and frozen fruits in its SLEEP. 

    Promising review: "Wow. I have been through many high end blenders that have broken or just didn’t cut it. Well, I am so amazed at this blender. Perfect size for my smoothies and so easy to use. I love how you simply twist on the lid and turn it on. It blends so nicely and doesn’t leave my protein powder on the sides like my old blenders do. It crushed ice and blends up to a perfect consistency. I’ve never written a review on here before but I am amazed at this!! Not to mention it’s so cute on the counter!" –Casey

    Price: $35.47+ (available in two colors)

    Promising review: "I recently upgraded my kitchen storage game with these fabulous glass containers with bamboo lids, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

I am pleased with the quality and sturdiness of the glass, as well as the tightly sealed lids." —Caroline

    Price: $26.99

    22. A pair of TikTok-viral cargo pants sure to make those of us who are old enough to remember Rocket Power feel like the coolest kids this side of Ocean Shores. And for the *actual* kids wearing these...you're just literally young and cool. Good for you.

    Promising review: "I saw these on TikTok, and I LOVE them. They fit so well. I'm 5'4" and 130 pounds, and I got a size 29, and they fit perfect. Loose, but not too loose, and extremely comfy. They come down just below the ankle, so they'd pair perfect with a pair of Jordans or Dunks. Also comes with an adjustable tie on the waist to fit as you need, same around the ankle." —annabella Gambone

    Psst — if you have Amazon Prime Wardrobe, you can try this piece out before you buy it!

    23. A set of stackable ceramic dishes that'll look so striking stacked together they'll prove it was a good idea to knock down your cabinets in place of open shelving. Your mom was wrong. You were WRONG, Mom! Sorry...I might be projecting.

    Promising review: "I purchased these to display on dining room shelving and use for seasonal dinner parties. They're quite heavy and have a pottery-like texture that makes them great for hosting fun suppers for friends. Love having them stacked for presentation and would definitely recommend for those looking to up your plating game!" —Nychole Weston

    Price: $34.82 (available in two styles)

    24. dimmable LED car visor mirror for the commuter in your life who practically lives in their car. If you know they are totally putting their makeup on in the parking lot before work, give them a vanity-mirror as a visor! 

    Promising review: "Very large, very bright, but brightness is adjustable. You also have the choice of true white LED illumination or a softer incidence 'yellow'/natural light or you can run both simultaneously. Very large but would fit all sun visors. No magnification (that I am aware of), but its clarity makes you think it does. Battery is chargeable, but we have not needed to recharge it yet due to its long battery run time. It’s inexpensive and needed for anyone that loves to 'finish getting ready in the car.'" —Chris Cook

    Price: $18.69+ (available in two colors)

    25. A pair of wide-calf-friendly cowboy boots that, based on dozens of review photos, were practically necessary upon entry at the Eras Tour.

    Did I have to Google "Taylor Swift dress references" to write this? Yes I did, Swifties. And I did it for you! Out of LOVE! 

    Promising review: "Omg, these adorable boots were just delivered, and I’m so pleased! I always have trouble with the size of my calves but these fit great and they are so cute! Can’t wait to wear them with a cute sundress or shorts!" —C. Porter

    Price: $39.99+ (available in sizes 5–12 and in 13 colors)

    26. A French-style marble butter keeper — this makes butter so soft, rich, and spreadable you're gonna think it's the best thing since sliced bread.

    Two marble containers on a countertop one filled with butter and the other with water

    Promising review: "There are people who have this butter bowl and then there are savages. It’s like Zeus made a statue of himself and then carved the butter bowl out of that. I feel like society moved one step closer to true enlightenment with this invention. It really is the cats meow, and keeps our cat from licking the butter!" —Mike

    Price: $26.45+ (available in two styles)

    27. A *lavender* baking set perfect to put on a wedding registry or a birthday wish list. Each piece is made with heavy-duty aluminized steel and a ceramic finish. Dare I say...these might be even more *delicious* than the foods we all make in them (oh yeah, you bet I'm getting myself a set).

    Amazon

    Promising review: "This set has everything! I’m so happy that I finally have a matching set! I love the color too! The large baking dish is perfect for large portions. I doubled a recipe of my shepherd's pie and still had plenty of room. The pans have been great — nothing has stuck to them yet and they clean up so easily. I’m loving this brand. Everything has been great quality and a really reasonable price." —JackieG

    Price: $129.99 (available in five colors)

    28. A foldable bathtub tray that'll collapse, easily tucking into that tiny below-sink bathroom storage, and expand, fitting across any size bath tub, helping keep everything they might need nearby during a (1, 2, 3 hour?) bath.

    Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE this! My hubby got it for me as a Christmas gift. I soaked in the bath for two hours (yes, I had to warm water a few times). This held my wine, my iPad, candles, and even some snacks. Best 'me time' ever — and all from the comfort of my own home" —Eric Harris

    Price: $34.97 (available in 10 colors)

    29. A pair of hoop earrings you can add to your outfit when spring is in the air, making you think every day should be casual Friday. Your boss will certainly think your sweats look chic with accessories like these!

    Promising review: "OMG I’m obsessed with these earrings. They’re so pretty and lightweight. I never usually order earrings off Amazon but decided to get some since I saw them on TikTok. They’re great quality and I usually can’t wear fake jewelry since it makes my ears itch like crazy. This one didn’t do that at all. Another problem I have is earrings being super uncomfortable to sleep in but this one doesn’t do that either. I’m going to literally get every single size they have since I love it so much. Hiiiiighly recommend." —Ziyana Iyer

    Price: $13.95+ (available in four sizes and colors)

    30. A framed canvas painting that'll create a cozy, lived-in touch in empty nooks and crannies that could use a little somethin' special.

    Promising review: "For the price you can’t beat it. Super easy to install and lightweight. The gold had a slight orange tint to it, so be mindful of that. I actually just taped over the light and spray-painted ours with gold spray paint I had left over and then they were absolutely perfect." —Paris Seder

    Price: $28.99 (available in two colors)

I would definitely buy from this company again." —Chris & Charley
