My Favorite Amazon Purchases of 2018

Somedays I'm not sure whether it's a blessing or a curse, but I'm a huge fan of Amazon and avid shopper on their site. Today I thought it might be fun and helpful to share some of my favorite Amazon purchases over the past couple of years.

Recently, I've seen several blogger friends share their list of favorite Amazon products on their blogs. I don't know about you, but I find it interesting to see what other people buy. I've also discovered cool products that way.

Today I thought I'd join in and tell you about some of my favorite Amazon purchases. I decided to just focus on 2018 to narrow the list a bit. Of course, I'm not sharing everything I bought on Amazon. To make it on my list, an item had to check off all of these boxes:

• love the product
• use frequently
• would purchase again
• would recommend to a friend

Because this list is rather lengthy, I've kept my description of each item short. In case you have questions, I'd be happy to answer them in the comments.

Let's get to it!

Favorite Amazon Purchases of 2018

(Click on the name of the item for a direct link to Amazon.)

OUTDOOR:
Dewalt Leaf Blower - This may be my favorite purchase of the year. It's the most efficient way to clean-up outside. I use this leaf blower almost daily.

Weber Genesis Grill (plus grill assembly) - I bought this grill because it was the cheapest one I could find, and at the time, they were running a promotion for free grill assembly. It's turned out to be a great grill, and getting it assembled was the bomb.com. I love it on my deck.

Suncast Hose Hideaway - I have two of these. They are sturdy, well-built, and easy to use.

Outdoor String Lights - These have been hanging on my porch for over a year (even through the frigid PA winter), and I have yet to replace a bulb. The light is warm and cozy.

Woodhaven 8 Foot Firewood Log Rack - This is pricey but well worth it. I have one next to my house for indoor firewood, and I recently purchased another to store firewood near my outdoor fire pit.

Fireplace Color Changing Pine Cones - These are lots of fun. Just toss them into your fire for blue, green, and purple flames.

Bloem Deluxe Watering Can - Love this watering can! They are sturdy with a great water stream, and they are not too heavy when filled with water.

Sun Joe SPX3000 Pressure Washer - I use this mostly to clean my deck, porch, and sidewalk. It's effective and not clumsy or heavy.

Gibraltar Mailbox (Extra Large Capacity) - Since I order a lot from Amazon, having an extra large mailbox is a must. This holds several of the smaller Amazon boxes perfectly. The mailman is a fan, too!

HOME:
Dyson Cord-Free Vacuum - I use this for quick clean-ups and pet hair removal. The small brush head works great for vacuuming cat hair from furniture. I believe this is an older model. If I were buying a new one, this is the one I'd purchase.

Sonos Speakers - I listen to all of my music through Spotify. If you use a music streaming service as well, these speakers are a game changer. They play through your wireless rather than Bluetooth so you can still use your phone while listening to music. I have two of these and will be purchasing this one in the near future. Amazing sound quality!

Buffalo Check Doormat - I'm one of those people who layers their front door mats. This is my favorite with a fun sisal mat on top.

Vornado Vintage Fan - This was an addition in my master bedroom after I removed the ceiling fan. I'm loving it!

Switch Plate Covers - I've been slowly updating all of my switch plates. These are my favorite.

P.F. Candle Amber & Moss (diffuser and candle) - Loving this scent! I use this diffuser in my bedroom and guest bedroom

NEST Reed Diffuser Grapefruit - This is the diffuser I used in my living room and family room during spring and summer.

NEST Reed Diffuser Birchwood Pine - This is the diffuser I used in my living spaces during the holidays.

Blink Indoor Security Cameras - While my home has a security system, it's not equipped with cameras. These are so easy to install (no wires), and I can check on things while I'm away.

KITCHEN:
Moccamaster 10-Cup Coffee Brewer - My absolute favorite coffee maker. I use this every morning. It's chic and brews the perfect cup of coffee.

ChicWrap Plastic Wrap - The initial investment isn't pocket change, but you will never struggle with plastic wrap again. (You can purchase refills.)

Bounty Paper Towels - I'm trying to limit my use of paper towels. (In my previous home, I didn't buy them.) I have these set up to be automatically shipped four times a year.

OXO Salad Spinner - This is a must this time of year for farmers market lettuce.

Sprayway Glass Cleaner (12 pack) - This is the BEST glass cleaner you will ever use. The 12-pack is also the best price.

CAT TOYS AND TREATS:
Tabby James Organic Catnip - This is definitely a bougie catnip, but Frankie is obsessed. One bottle typically lasts a couple of months.

Da Bird Cat Toy - This has become my cats' favorite toy in the universe.

Jumbo Stuff Temptations Treats - The Jumbo Stuff treats are a must around here. The flavor is irrelevant.

MISCELLANEOUS:
Nestle Damak Milk Chocolate - I worked with this brand a few years ago on this post and have been obsessed with this chocolate bar ever since. (The dark chocolate is good; the milk chocolate is next-level good.)

Phaiser Bluetooth Headphones - These are my go-to headphones/earbuds. They stay in my ears while running, plus the price is good.

Scotch Heavy Duty Shipping Tape - I'm not sure why, but I go through a lot of packing tape. This stuff is essential at my house.

Padded Furniture Movers - These padded furniture movers allow me to slide furniture without damaging the hardwood floors in my house. (I'm single so I need to be able to move stuff by myself.)

Giant Jell-O Shot Jenga Game - This was a gift to my dad for Father's Day last year. It was a hit with him and the rest of the family!

Dare to Lead and Braving the Wilderness by Brené Brown - I have every book by Brené Brown and love them all. My favorite is Daring Greatly, but these two are amazing as well.
