I couldn’t let Amazon Prime Day get away without mentioning it here. It’s where I do 90% of our shopping. For real. We order household items, baby items, food, clothes, shoes, health and beauty products and so much more. With the addition of Amazon Now (2 hour delivery) and Amazon Fresh (fresh, local groceries) it’s a no brainer for us.
With a prime subscription comes free 2 day shipping on millions of items – which can be a life saver in certain situations. If you don’t have Prime, but want to take it for a test drive (read: free 2 day shipping!) and get access to all the Prime day deals you can sign up for a FREE 30 Day Trial here. We seriously place an order at least once a week. That’s a LOT of savings in shipping costs.
Since Amazon Prime Day only happens once a year I thought I share some of our favorite recent purchases from Amazon. Which fall into two categories really, house and baby.
House Stuff
- Amazon Fire Stick – we ditched cable quite a while ago and replaced it with a streaming service. We were using a Roku for a few years but decided to upgrade to this. Best decision. Way better than the Roku.
- Instant Pot – I have a whole post coming on this bad boy, but this is the best kitchen appliance we’ve ever owned. Whole chicken, frozen, cooked in 20 minutes. Amazing.
- Double Hammock – for cool summer nights. We bring it in at night so it doesn’t get all nasty. I love the shape of it, and the design.
- Glass Water Bottle – my favorite bottle. While yes, it’s heavy, I feel comfortable putting it in the dishwasher since it’s glass and really right now I need dishwasher safe items.
Baby Stuff
We did our entire baby registry on Amazon. It was the easiest for us and for our gift givers. The return policy is amazing and really the prices were usually always cheaper. We subscribe to diapers, wipes and other household items and they get shipped directly to us once a month.
- Bambo Diapers – the only disposal diapers we use. After extensive research they were the most “green” in the disposable category.
- Water Wipes – again, after lots of research, we only use these wipes as they have two ingredients – water and grapefruit seed extract. They’re also amazing for removing makeup – way better than makeup wipes.
- BOB Revolution Stroller – the best stroller I’ve ever used. Perfect for city walks, trail walks, running, etc. Huge basket underneath. We absolutely love it. Worth every cent as they really last forever.
- Portable High Chair – our guy is just now big enough for this and we find ourselves pulling it out everywhere – front porch, back deck. It’ll be perfect for camping, picnics, music in the park dates and so much more.
- Glass Baby Bottles – same as above. Love that I can throw these in the dishwasher at the end of the day and not have to worry about leaching chemicals.
There’s so much more. Like I said, we place an order about once a week because it’s so convenient. If you aren’t already using Prime I highly, highly recommend at least trying out a free trial !
