While Amazon is my beloved online retailer for essential household items, their fashion selection didn’t catch my attention until a few years ago. But in the past few years, I’ve been blown away by some of the fashion brands that Amazon has started carrying, along with some of their own in-house brands that are stylish and high quality.

Over the past few years, I’ve shared lots of fashion picks from Amazon The Drop, but I haven’t ever explained why I love it so much and how it’s different from other styles on Amazon. So today, I’m explaining what The Drop on Amazon is because once you understand it, it’s kind of fun! 

What is Amazon’s The Drop? (Everything you need to know!)

The Drop on Amazon started as a series of limited-edition collections created in collaboration with influencers and designers (kind of like the collabs that Target does with designers). These collections were typically very on-trend and available only for a short window (30 hours or so). Once the items sold out or the timeframe was up, the items were gone for good, making The Drop feel exclusive.

Now, Amazon’s The Drop is more than limited-edition collections. While it initially launched with influencer-designed collections, it now includes limited-edition items along with a more permanent line of wardrobe staples. These wardrobe essentials are always available for purchase (or at least for a longer period of time!). They still include items that are on trend (e.g, denim skirts, oversized denim shackets), but there are lots of classic styles as well.

How to Access Amazon The Drop?

Accessing Amazon The Drop is simple – just search for The Drop on Amazon.com and then click the Brand on any individual item, which will take you to the main Drop page. Or just click this link to access The Drop hub. On that page, you can see what collaborations they have with influencers, along with their line of items that are permanently available.

Is The Drop a Good Clothing Brand?

I’ve always been really happy with the fit and quality of the items. I own quite a few pieces from The Drop, and I’ve listed my favorites below with a few notes. In general, I like their pieces better than other Amazon finds and I’m quick to scoop up new things when they launch, since they do tend to sell out.

What About the Price?

The price of items from The Drop varies. The pricing is generally affordable, but once in a while, things can seem pricey if you’re used to $20 fashion on Amazon. However, I find the quality is more consistent with The Drop vs. the crapshoot you get when you randomly buy clothes on Amazon. (That’s part of why I share my Amazon finds via my newsletter each Sunday – to help you buy cute and decent quality items!)

Prime Try Before You Buy

Since The Drop is an in-house Amazon brand, there are a few Prime perks that apply. Prime Try Before You Buy is Amazon’s “on approval” program, where you can order clothes, have them shipped to you, try them on and decide if you want to buy or not, all before your card is ever charged.

  1. Choose your items. This can be clothing, shoes, accessories, etc. The items must be eligible for prime wardrobe, so you can look for that term in the description as you shop.
  2. You have seven days to try on your items and decide if you want to keep them.
  3. You pay only for what you keep. Just choose the most convenient shipping option for you. They’ll provide a return label. Remember that your items must be returned with tags ON and in their original packaging. They need to be unworn, unwashed, undamaged, etc. If your order comes in multiple packages, you can return your items with any packaging.

All Prime members can use Prime Try Before You Buy for free with their membership, and if you’re not a Prime member, you can try it for 30 days at any time.

My Favorite Items from Amazon’s The Drop

Britt Tiered Maxi Tent Dress

One of my favorite The Drop purchases to date is this Britt Tiered Maxi Tent Dress. I loved it so much that I ordered a second color, too. The fit is relaxed and breezy (perfect for warmer months), but the length makes it feminine and polished. I learned that I prefer longer dresses as a mom since I’m always bending down, and this dress became a staple in my closet last year for that reason.

Courtney Short-Sleeve Tiny Crewneck Jersey T-Shirt

I’m always on the hunt for the best white tees. This Courtney Short Sleeve Crewneck is such a good one for under $20. The fit is classic–not too fitted but not relaxed—just right. I have a size small, and it runs true to size.

Arhaan Denim Mini Skirt

I wasn’t sure I would get enough use out of a denim mini-skirt this summer, so I hesitated to invest in one from a designer denim brand. I decided to snag this Arhaan Denim Mini Skirt and have loved it! I appreciate that it’s long enough to feel appropriate for a mom, but it’s on trend and easy to style as well.

Blake Long Blazer

The Blake Long Blazer is a perfect work option that doesn’t break the bank. It comes in many colors and fits perfectly (I have an XS). I love the length for styling with jeans and dresses.

Valerie Cutaway-Neck Racerback Rib Knit Tank Top

This Valerie Cutaway-Neck Racerback Rib Knit Tank Top is the perfect high-neck tank. I ordered the white version a few years ago and got the black color this year. The quality is great, the fit is perfect, and the price is hard to beat. I wear a size small.

Yasmin Rib Midi Sweater Tank Dress

This Yasmin Dress was the first item I ever ordered from The Drop. It’s easy to style for the transition from summer to fall. You can wear it with sandals now and switch to sneakers or loafers as it gets cooler. Throw a denim jacket on top, and you’re all set.

Side Button Cropped Turtleneck Sweater

I got this Side Button Cropped Sweater a few years ago and love its versatility. If you look closely, you can see the buttons up the side of the sweater, and that simple detail makes it feel a little more high-end than a basic sweater. I got this in an XS, and it’s the perfect length for high-waisted or mid-rise jeans—not cropped, but not long.

Bottom Line

I can confidently say I’ve found some of my favorite go-to pieces from Amazon, and specifically The Drop. Amazon has truly stepped up its game. I recommend reading the reviews when you’re shopping, since that will help you make a confident decision on sizing – keep your eyes out for my weekly Amazon posts and join my newsletter here to get them sent right to your inbox! I’ll do the shopping for you :).

Athleisure is not the same as workout gear. Today I’m sharing the difference between the two and how to still look cute (and comfortable!) when rocking athleisure. And I’ll share some affordable picks from Amazon, along with a few notes from when I’ve tried the more expensive version and liked it more. Let’s dive in!

Amazon Athleisure Outfits

I have more tips below on how to make a cute athleisure outfit, but let’s start with the picks!

Amazon Athleisure Outfits (that are cute & comfortable)

Thin Strap Tennis Dress

My #1 pick from my recent Amazon order (which I placed for this post), is this black tennis dress. It has a built in bra and the shorts underneath are also built in, so keep that in mind. While I generally stray away from dresses with built in bottoms since it’s hard to use the bathroom in them, this one is well-worth the effort required. I have a size XS and it fits perfectly.

You can choose from 11 cute colors too!

Thick Strap Tennis Dress

If the pleats and ribbing of the dress above are a little too preppy or feminine for your taste, you’ll probably love this simple tennis dress. It comes in 11 colors and has separate shorts to wear with it. The back also has a pretty crossover detail.

Pink Pleated Skort

I originally ordered this pink skort for golf, but I think I’ve worn it a good 6 times since I got it a week or two ago. The waist band is thick and holds you in (it’s not super stretchy so it feels a little snug when you’re pulling it on, but once it’s on you will LOVE the feeling), and the back is a little longer than the front. I have a size XS.

I ordered a non-pleated Amazon skirt to try as well, and it didn’t live up to the same hype as the pleated skirt above. So I ordered the Lululemon version (the Pace Rival Mid-Rise) and that one was much better. Moral of the story: either get the pleated Amazon skirt or the Lululemon non-pleated skirt. You can see the comparison in this reel.

High Neck Racer Back Tank

I got this high neck tank a few months ago and it has held up really well. I find that I wear it most often with the pink skirt or these hiking shorts. The racer back and high neck combo is the perfect sporty shape. I have a size XS.

Hot Pink Running Shorts

There’s nothing better than hot pink clothes. They make you feel SO TAN! These running shorts (which I don’t wear for running), are special because the back is just a hair shorter than the front. I struggle to find athletic shorts that are long enough to feel appropriate as a mom, but these hit the mark because of the high-low cut. I wear a size XS.

While I love these hot pink running shorts, if I were to recommend one pair of shorts to get, it would be the Lululemon Speed Up Short (high rise in the 4 inch length). They’re so comfortable, flattering, and not too long. Worth the splurge. Unfortunately, they are almost sold out right now, but I feel sure they’ll restock.

Black Leggings

It’s almost impossible to create athleisure outfits without a good pair of black leggings. I’ve tried a handful of different leggings from Amazon and the very best pair is from the brand HeyNuts. They’re about 85% as good as Lululemon Align leggings, which is pretty amazing considering the price. I wore them before, during, and now after my pregnancy. They’re the right thickness, come in a few lengths and colors, and they feel just as soft as Lululemon. I wear a size XS.

There are a few different “fits” for these, and I prefer the workout pro since it has a bit more compression than the Pure & Plain. I’ve never tried the Yoga Pro fit, so I can’t speak to those.

Hot Pink Leggings

While legging season is extremely short lived in Winston-Salem, these pink leggings would be the ideal pant for a cooler spring or summer climate. And I’ll definitely get to wear them in the mountains for cooler days this summer. I ordered these hot pink leggings to wear for pilates (this is actually one of the only things I’ve worn for both a workout and as athleisure), and I got the matching tank with them.

However, when I wear them for athleisure, rather than pilates or the gym, I pair them with a white tee. The leggings look like they are almost sold out in some sizes (in the pink), but there are SO many colors to choose from!

Belt Bag

I carry my Amazon belt bag almost every time I wear an athleisure outfit. It’s practical AND trendy, which is a rare combo, ha! I compared it to the Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag and they are almost identical, other than the Lululemon logo, so I highly recommend the Amazon version since it’s easier to find in stock and much cheaper! The one below is Lululemon because it was more conveniently located when I took these photos. You can see some snaps of the Amazon version on me in this review.

New Balance 237 Sneakers

I have two favorite pairs of sneakers for athleisure outfits. This pair of New Balance 237s is such a cute option for athleisure because they have a little bit of height and they’re sporty but not in a super athletic, “I work out in these” type of way. They also come in a ton of colors!

On Cloudnova Form Sneakers

The other pair of sneakers I love are the Cloudnova Form sneakers from On. I got mine from ShopBop, where you can use your Prime shipping perks! They’re SO comfortable (and have amazing arch support), and cute as can be.

Abercrombie Romper

Not an Amazon find, but I wanted to include this black romper in this post since it’s another great athleisure option and not very expensive. I’m wearing an XS petite in this, but I likely would have gotten the regular length if I had tried it on in-store for a little more length. It has pockets, and it’s just SO flattering! A perfect outfit for a zoo outing with your kids, a park play-date, or a day full of errands.

What is athleisure attire?

First, let’s start with the basics. Is “athleisure” even a real word? Actually, yes, according to Miriam Webster.

Since the term athleisure is relatively new, it’s totally fair that some may not even know what it really means! Essentially, the term athliesure refers to clothing that’s comfortable and athletic but also cute and pulled together enough to wear in public. And in my mind, it doesn’t count if I can’t wear sneakers with it.

Is athleisure still in style?

Sure is. And I don’t see it going anywhere for a WHILE.

My wardrobe is slowly filling up with matching workout sets, tennis dresses, and colorful athletic shorts, so I feel like I’ve finally found my groove in terms of my activewear style. And let’s be real: the timing couldn’t be better ,considering I have a wild toddler to chase around outside this summer!

What’s the difference between athletic wear and athleisure?

In general, athleisure outfits are fashion-forward, pulled together, and can be worn appropriately in public, while athletic wear is worn for workouts. But honestly, I don’t believe in strict “rules” for fashion. There are many pieces in my closet that I could wear for a workout and also wear as a cute outfit. And depending on what kind of workouts you do, you might have a ton of crossover. However, as a runner, there are some things I wear for workouts that I absolutely wouldn’t wear as “street style,” like my running shoes. I find that running shoes aren’t usually very cute (and my running shoes are strictly for runs, which helps them last longer), so I have a pair of cute (non-running) sneakers that I wear with athleisure outfits.

While you could wear the same clothes for workouts that you also wear as athleisure, my personal differentiation, and what helps me feel cute and polished, is NOT wearing the same clothes for workouts that I wear as cute athleisure. I need the mental separation between the two in order to feel like I’m polished in my athelisure. I’ve also found that HOW I wear an outfit dictates if it’s athleisure or workout gear. I always style my hair and put on at least a little makeup so that I feel pulled-together for the day.

Again, there are no rules. You do you!

If you’re working on building out an athleisure wardrobe, here are the staples I’d start with:

  1. A workout dress
  2. A skort
  3. A solid tank or t-shirt
  4. Cute (non-running) sneakers

Is Lululemon considered athleisure?

Absolutely! I love to wear my Align leggings and yoga pants in the cooler months for athleisure outfits, especially as an alternative to baggy sweatpants. And I also find that their Scuba pullover is a much cuter option than wearing any of my old hoodies.

I’ll continue to add to this post as I find more great pieces! I hope you find a couple fashionable pieces to add to your athleisure style.

Over the last year or two I’ve become a pretty big fan of Amazon fashion. So much so, that each week I source new finds and share them on Instagram and in a weekly email (join this list if you want my finds send to your inbox every Sunday). I know shopping for clothes on Amazon can feel overwhelming since there is just SO much to sort through, so I spend time sourcing fashion and home items so that you don’t have to weed through the thousands (literally, thousands) of options yourself! I’ve sourced some great Amazon athelisure outfits, maternity workout gear from Amazon (and non-maternity workout gear, too), regular maternity clothes from Amazon, pieces from Amazon’s in-house brand The Drop, fall dresses, and even the best beauty finds from Amazon. You name it, I have a list of favorites from Amazon for it.

Most of the time, I’ll order a few of the items to try myself, and in those cases, I’ll speak to the fit and quality. The rest of the styles I include in the post are things I’m eyeing and would like to order, but haven’t quite yet. But that’s pretty much how I shop online anyway — order, try on, keep some, mail back the rest — and I bet it’s how you shop too, so hopefully this helps you narrow down what to order!

Today’s post is all about dresses. Specifically, I love dresses for spring and warm weather (since we’re finally getting some of that!). I hope you find something you’re excited about! I also have a post all about Amazon’s in-house brand, The Drop, which has high-quality and affordable fashion.

And if you’re looking for other Amazon blog posts, I’ve linked them below:

My Favorite Spring Amazon Dresses

Jaya Smocked Bodice Chiffon Maxi

This pink floral maxi dress by The Drop (an in-house Amazon brand), is quite a find. The bodice has smocking across the entire front and back, making it super comfortable. Nursing moms, this dress would be easy to wear while breastfeeding because of the smocked top that you can easily pull down. I’m wearing a size XS in this and have paired it with Dolce Vita sandals I also got from Amazon.

Britt Tiered Maxi Tent Dress

The Britt Tiered Maxi Tent dress from Amazon is one of the best selling dresses I shared by far. I own both the solid orange colorway and a striped version. The fit is really nice (its not too tight under your arms), and the length is great on me (I’m 5’1″, so it may be shorter on you). A follower on Instagram told me that she crosses the straps before she puts the dress on since they’re too long on her, which I though was a great tip. I have a size XS. I wear this strapless bra with it (best ever, BTW).

Summer Stripe Maxi Dress with Pockets

One of my favorite Amazon dresses for the spring is this blue and white stripe dress. I love the fit—it’s forgiving and comfortable—and it has pockets. It looks and feels more expensive than it is, and I get compliments on it every time I wear it. I have a size small.

Yasmin Rib Midi Sweater Tank Dress

I bought this midi sweater tank dress two years ago and have worn it so often. It is easy to dress down with sneakers or sandals (see it styled four ways in this reel), and the material is truly so comfortable. I have an XS in this, and it comes in a lot of colors.

Pink Denim Romper

This pink denim romper is one of the best Amazon finds ever. No, it’s not a dress, but since it’s one piece and makes a full outfit, I’m including it in this post. I love that it’s comfortable, the fit is adjustable with side buttons, and it’s SO practical. The front zips all the way down, too, which makes it super nursing-friendly. I wore this while I was pregnant until about 23 weeks since the side buttons made it a little roomier. It’s super soft and fits true to size.

Green Collared Button Down Dress

This collared button down dress was a purchase I made two summers ago that I knew I could wear into fall, but it’s also a great spring dress from Amazon. I love that the front buttons all the way down (nursing friendly), the rounded drop of the skirt is unique and flattering, and it has pockets. It comes in a ton of other colors too, and the fit is true to size. I have a small.

Chambray Denim Shirt Dress

This is another Amazon dress that I originally got for the fall but it also works perfectly for the spring. I was shocked by the fit and quality when it first arrived, and it is SO easy to style! You can pair this denim shirt dress with sneakers, loafers, or sandals. The fit is relaxed and it’s a great nursing-friendly dress. I have a size XS.

Amazon Red Smocked Maxi Dress

This red smocked maxi dress with flutter sleeves was 4th of July find from last summer that I can’t wait to pull out again this spring. It’s under $50, the fit is true to size, and I feel so pretty in it! I always love wearing red. I have a size XS in this, and it’s pregnancy and nursing-friendly.

Athleisure Tennis Dress

I love a good tennis dress find, and this black athleisure tennis dress from Amazon is a WINNER. It has a built in shelf bra and built in shorts. The quality is really good, and it comes in a ton of colors. I have a size XS.

For my first pregnancy, the majority of the months where I was showing and dressing for a bump were in warm weather. I wore a ton of dresses since they were cute and comfortable with a growing bump. But with my second pregnancy, the majority (or at least the portion of pregnancy where you’re dressing for an obvious bump), was spent in the cold weather! For the last few months, I practically lived in leggings.

I’d argue that most pregnant women feel the same way. The idea of pulling a pair of jeans over my bump just sounded miserable for the last few months, even though I did find a handful of GREAT maternity jeans that I rounded up in this post. Thankfully, I discovered three different pairs of leggings on Amazon that carried me through my entire pregnancy. I feel passionately that these three brands are the only ones you need, so I’m sharing the best Amazon maternity leggings below.

And if you’re looking for more maternity clothes, I linked all of my favorite maternity workout clothes from Amazon here and the best regular maternity clothes on Amazon here.

The 3 Best Maternity Leggings on Amazon

Best maternity workout leggings for 1st and 2nd trimester

HeyNuts Essential 7/8 Leggings

I wore my favorite pre-pregnancy Amazon leggings for the entirety of my first and second trimester. In fact, I wore them all the way up until 35 weeks when the waist band finally started to slip down. And get this– I was wearing the exact same size as pre-pregnancy until then too! The HeyNuts Essential 7/8 Leggings are SO comfortable and stretchy that you don’t even need to size up. They feel 90% as good as the Lululemon Align leggings that everyone loves, but the price tag is much, much better. I found that these didn’t fade in the wash, either.

In my third trimester these started to slip and that’s when I knew I should switch to a true maternity legging. I tried sizing up in the HeyNuts Essential 7/8 Leggings first, but even two sizes up slid down. I wear an XS in these.

Best leggings for 3rd trimester

POSHDIVAH Maternity Leggings Over The Belly

When the HeyNuts leggings stopped staying up in my third trimester, I pivoted to true maternity leggings. The best pair I found was the POSHDIVAH Over The Belly Maternity Leggings. The fit was true to size (I got my typical, pre-pregnancy size), and the belly band is super stretchy and comfortable to wear all day, but it does not fall down. They have slightly more compression than the CRZ pair I’m sharing below. I wore these for both athleisure and working out.

I wear an XS in this style.

Best Maternity Leggings for Workouts

CRZ YOGA Womens Butterluxe Maternity Leggings 25″

For just working out, I also loved the CRZ YOGA Women’s Butterluxe Maternity Leggings 25″. The pair I have is magenta, so it wasn’t something I wore often as athleisure (I like black leggings for day-to-day wear), but I loved working out in them. I wore my pre-pregnancy size in these well. These are a bit stretchier and a little more “relaxed” in terms of compression compared to the Poshdivah pair above, so I’d deem them the best maternity yoga pants, since I think of yoga pants as more relaxed. And since the color was so fun, I made sure to get the matching CRZ YOGA Butterluxe Y Back Maternity Tank Top so that I could wear them as a workout set. The top also fits true to size. I wear an XS in both.

Best Maternity Biker Shorts

POSHDIVAH Over The Belly Bump Shorts

While these don’t technically fall under leggings, I wanted to include them because they are my warm weather alternative! These Poshdivah Over The Belly Bump Shorts are my favorite compression/biker short for the third trimester. I didn’t wear them often since the last few months of my pregnancy were throughout the winter, but if you’ll be in your third trimester in the spring, go ahead and snag this pair of biker shorts. They run true to size and I have an XS.

One of my favorite work-related tasks each October is creating my holiday gift guides. I put together specific gift idea lists for different categories: gifts for moms/grandmothers/sisters + yourself, gifts for guys (the hardest to shop for!), and gifts for the littles in your life. Then I get even more specific and create guides for different interests like running or beauty. And today, I’m creating a retailer-specific guide since I know so many of us prefer to order things from the same place when we can.

What is that one place? Amazon, of course! There’s nothing better than free shipping on something that arrives the next day. And since Amazon carries many of my favorite retailers and items, I love that I am able to find so many great gifts for people in my life in one place. And it doesn’t hurt that they have such competitive pricing.

Today I’m rounding up my favorite gift ideas from our favorite one-stop-shop. I’m breaking this post up into His and Hers so that you can easily scroll and find ideas for those you’re shopping for. I have all of my gift ideas for kids linked in a separate post (and since they’re all from Amazon, I’m not linking them here). If there’s something I should add to the list, just drop a comment below this post so we can check it out.

I also have a TON of specific gift guides on my Amazon Storefront, so if you’re shopping for someone more specifically (teen boys and girls, white elephant parties, beauty or hostess themed gifts, you name it), and you can see all of those Amazon gift guides on my Storefront here.

My Favorite Gift Ideas from Amazon

For her

I’m sharing a few of my top picks below, but you can always find more ideas in my Gifts For Her list on my Amazon Storefront.

Simple Modern Water Bottle

My go-to gift in the $30 range is this Simple Modern water bottle. It’s better than the Stanley (yes, I said it), and every woman I know loves it. It’s lighter than the Stanley tumbler and doesn’t leak. And it’s also cheaper. I’ve gifted many of these in the last year. If you want to spend a bit more, pair the water bottle with a gift card, a candle, some LMNT electrolytes, or a lipgloss.

Ember Mug

I use my Ember mug every single day. It re-heats your coffee so you never have to take a cold sip. Those of you with busy kids know that you rarely get to drink your coffee while it’s hot, and this mug changes that. I gift one of these to my new-mom friends, often paired with a LAKE robe (here’s my full review of LAKE pajamas and loungewear).

Israel Coffee Table Book

This coffee table book is a mix of beautiful images and devotionals written by Tara-Leigh Cobble, who hosts The Bible Recap. I love looking through this book as I read the Bible. It’s so cool to see photos of the places I’m reading about, and I love that this book is decor on it’s own. I gifted one to my MIL for Mother’s Day and she loves it.

Goop Dry Brush

It’s always fun to receive fun beauty products you wouldn’t buy for yourself, like this dry brush. Dry brushing is a trend the beauty world I can get behind, so if you’re looking for a small gift to give someone who keeps up with beauty and wellness trends, this Goop Dry Brush is just the thing.

Aesop Resurrection Aromatique Hand Wash

If you’re looking for a nice hostess gift to take to someone you’re staying with this holiday season, the Aesop Resurrection Aromatique Hand Wash is a perfect gift. Luxurious hand soap is one of those things that people don’t like to buy for themselves but LOVE to have in their powder bathroom. The Aesop Resurrection Aromatique Hand Wash smells clean and expensive. It’s not floral or super sweet, but rather the scent you’d expect in a luxury hotel. I love the packaging too.

Oversized Zipper Collared Pullover

I’ve been wearing this knit pullover non-stop for weeks since I bought it (I’m wearing mine as I type this). I love that it covers my bum and fits very oversized, and since the sizing is so forgiving, it would make a great gift! I have a size small.

Silk Pillowcase

This silk pillowcase was a best-seller during the Prime Big Deal Days and for good reason. It’s very hard to find real silk at such an affordable price! I love that these come in many colors and sizes, and have a hidden zipper making them very streamlined for the rest of your bedding. I ordered a handful of these to gift for Chrismtas this year.

Tortoise Shell Stemless Wine Glasses

I gifted these wine glasses to my content manager for her birthday and then my nanny got me a set for my birthday and I love them! They come in a set of 2, are made of the best thick/substantial blown glass material, and look so chic. And for only $30, you could gift two sets if you wanted to make a more full set!

Kindle E-Reader

As someone who is a real-book lover, I was hesitant to get an e-reader, but I honestly love mine mine! It’s so convenient, especially because I can leave it in my purse all day and read whenever I have to wait for an appointment. It’s also more comfortable to read in bed since I can read one handed and anything to be more comfortable while pregnant, I’ll take. The books are cheaper on Kindle too.

For Him

Similar to above, I’m highlighting my favorite Amazon finds below, but you’ll find more gift ideas in my Gifts for Him idea list on my Amazon Storefront.

Deep Tissue Massage Gun

We own and love our deep tissue massage gun, but it’s pretty expensive. We own the one that our sports massage team uses (and yes, I do think it’s worth the price), but if you’re looking for an affordable option, this budget-friendly massage gun by OLsky has incredible reviews. What guy doesn’t want a tool to help them loosen those sore muscles and knots in their back!? Saves you from giving back rubs too. Win win.

Record Player

I really love the idea of gifting a record player + some special records. It’s so fun to find old records at local stores, and you could begin a collection together. You can find some VERY expensive record players on the market, but this one for $40 on Amazon is too good to pass up. It also has bluetooth and AUX cord capabilities, so you’re not limited to vinyl.

Mini Portable Charger Power Bank

This portable charging bank is not a boys-only gift by any means, but it’s definitely a great option for the guys in your life if they’re complaining about their phone’s lack of charge all the time. I bought two of these for myself over Prime Big Deal Days so that I could keep one in my purse and one in my office. I love that you can keep using your phone while it’s charging your battery and that it doesn’t have any cords. If you keep it charged so that you can use it whenever you need, it’s such a blessing. No more excuses of phones dying while on the golf course. 😉

Oral-B Pro Electric Toothbrush

This Oral-B Pro is the toothbrush both Tommy and I have and love. A toothbrush may not be the most “fun” gift you could think of this season, but many guys like practical things.

Chirp Wheel Foam Roller

I’ve been seeing people talk about these back and neck foam rollers on Instagram and I think Tommy would LOVE them. If your husband or boyfriend complains about back pain all the time, these Chirp Wheel Foam Rollers would make a great gift. You lay on them and they help release the tension in your back and neck. Sounds heavenly.

Solo Stove Ranger 2.0

I’m getting Tommy a Solo Stove for Christmas so we can use it as a family. We’ve never had a fire pit in our new backyard and I think Thomas would have a blast making smores!

Eyeris 1 Eye Massager with Heat

These eye massagers make me giggle, but SO many people rave about them! They would be a great gift for any husband or dad who loves tech things (or is just overworked). I would honestly love to try them myself.

JBL Clip 3

A portable bluetooth speaker is always a great gift, but I LOVE that this one has a clip! It’s perfect to attaching to a golf bag. Think of all the ways they could use this — even just clipping it to their belt loop while they do house projects!

I’ll continue to add to my Amazon Storefront whenever I find more gift ideas for Him or Her. Make sure you’re following me there! And I always send out Amazon finds every Sunday to my email list, so be sure to join the list here.

Cute Ugly Christmas Sweaters You’ll Actually Want to Wear https://terilynadams.com/cute-ugly-christmas-sweaters/ https://terilynadams.com/cute-ugly-christmas-sweaters/#comments Mon, 11 Dec 2023 20:05:41 +0000 https://terilynadams.com/?p=56220 A good, old school, cute ugly Christmas sweater is a wardrobe essential if you ask me.

A good, old school, cute ugly Christmas sweater is a wardrobe essential if you ask me. I’m not saying you need a ton of them, and I definitely don’t think they’re worth breaking the bank over, but I do think it’s a good idea to have a go-to option when the attire on an invitation says “tacky Christmas.”

This time of year, cookie exchanges, white elephant parties, children’s classroom celebrations, and even office gatherings are in full swing. Evening holiday parties are easy to dress for: a good holiday cocktail dress and pair of heels does the trick, but what about daytime Christmas events at your kiddo’s school or lunch with girlfriends? Events that don’t require a full blown look, but where you still want to dress festively? A tacky, or in case cute, Christmas sweater is just the thing!

Today, I’m sharing a handful of affordable cute ugly Christmas sweaters (and one splurge find) to take you through the rest of the holidays. Many of these finds are from Amazon, so you can have them shipped in just a day or two if you’re in a pinch (and I have an Idea List on my Amazon Storefront with 30 festive sweaters if you’re set on ordering from there). And while I’m sticking to good old fashion tacky Christmas sweaters in this round up, I also did a haul of Fair Isle style sweaters. I find that Fair Isle sweaters are more wintery than they are Christmasy, so that felt like it required a separate blog post.

Anywho, let’s dive in to my favorite tacky Christmas sweater finds!

My Favorite Cute Ugly Christmas Sweaters for Holiday Parties

1. Merry & Bright 3D Sweater

At the top of my list is this 3D style Merry & Bright sweatshirt/sweater. I love that the lettering is not just printed on top of the fabric, but actually has some texture on it’s own. And the bright colors make it feel feminine while still being festive. This top is under $30 and a great option for styling with jeans, leggings or even a skirt. I also appreciate that it’s more subtle than some other options in this roundup.

2. Christmas Snowflake Reindeer Knitted Cute Ugly Christmas Sweater

I love color combination of this the red and white Amazon Christmas sweater. It strikes me as a true “traditional” looking Christmas sweater because it has that nod to a Fair Isle design. The hearts, snowflakes, and reindeer designs make it fun and “tacky” while still feeling super cute. There are only so many ugly Christmas sweater outfit ideas, but this feels like a really easy sweater to style with jeans.

3. Grey Nordstrom Snowflake Sweater

I love the subtleness of this grey Nordstrom Christmas sweater. I’ve always been a Nordstrom fan because of their amazing customer service, so any time I can buy from there, I do. While this sweater could totally work for a tacky Christmas sweater, it’s definitely cute. And you could wear it throughout the rest of the winter since it’s not Christmas specific.

4. Pink and Red Snowflake Turtleneck Sweater

I love an oversized turtleneck sweater, and when it’s pink and red, I’m all in. This is another great option for wearing into the winter since it’s not specific to Christmas, although I do think it lends itself a tad more to the holidays than the grey one above does. This sweater is under $45 from Amazon and ships immediately. I’d style this with a pair of winter white jeans or leggings.

5. Amazon 3D Santa Sweater

Now this is a cute ugly Christmas sweater if I’ve ever seen one. Santa’s face all over the front with a 3D beard? SO fun. I love this idea for a true tacky Christmas sweater because it’s silly, unique, makes a statement, and pairs easily with black leggings or jeans. This is under $45 and has great reviews.

6. 3D Ornament Christmas Sweater

Well, I think this ornament Christmas sweater takes the cake in terms of tacky! If you want to make a real statement, I can’t think of a better sweater than this one. It’s currently on sale for just under $50 and would be the perfect sweater to pull out year after year. It almost looks like a DIY, which I love. I can just imagine how much Thomas would love it if I wore this! And since it’s a cardigan style, it would be a good option for any nursing mamas this holiday season.

7. Red Christmas Printed Henley TShirt

If you live somewhere warm (Floridians, I see you!), then a tacky Christmas t-shirt may be a better option than a sweater, and this red printed henley style tee is perfect! It’s under $20, looks a lot like the red and white sweater I linked above, and great for a warmer climate. Or, for something just a tad warmer, but still not heavy, this Anthropologie Christmas sweater (not really a sweater, more of a sweatshirt), would be a cute option.

8. Tacky Christmas Tree Sweater

I honestly love how chaotic this Christmas tree sweater is. The sleeves are crazy and colorful, the tree is massive, and the colors make me a little crazy (in a good way). This is a true ugly Christmas sweater, ha! It’s from Amazon, so you could definitely snag this before an upcoming party. If you have a beloved furry friend, I found this ugly Christmas sweater for dogs that sort of matches.

9. Walmart Black and Pink Fa-La-La Sweater

Walmart is another great place to look for affordable tacky Christmas sweaters. Since they use a drop-ship model, there are a TON of options to choose from. This pink and black sweater with “fa la la la la” letting caught my eye since I love the pink cuffs on the sleeve.

10. Festive Embroidered Sweater from Boden

I LOVE this black festive sweater from Boden. However, it’s pricier than the rest of the sweaters in this post. If I were to order just one Christmas sweater to keep for years to come, I think it would be this though. It would pair well with black leggings, but it also feels chic and festive if you wanted to dress it up with faux leather pants or metallic pants like these from GAP and booties.

Boden actually has a ton of cute festive options for women (and kids) including these “FA-LA-LA” earrings, which would be darling with a little black dress for a cocktail party.

I hope you found a sweater you love!

There’s something about an affordable find (and especially one with Prime shipping) that I just can’t say no to. I think it’s because when I hear about a product that my friends are loving, I feel like I HAVE to try it for myself. I like to know first hand if something is great, and when it’s under $25 it feels like a no-brainer. And since Christmas shopping is fully upon us, I have even more excuses to place frivolous Amazon orders, ha!

Today I’m sharing 25 items under $25 that I absolutely love from Amazon. I had stockings in mind while writing this post, and I think every single thing on this list would be a perfect little stocking stuffer. I’ve put all of these ideas + a few more things into an Amazon Idea List called Stocking Stuffers for Her in case you want to shop that way!

If you’re shopping for guys, this list has Stocking Stuffers for Him!

And this blog post has even more Amazon gift ideas.

And my Amazon Storefront has even more!

Let’s get right into it!

25 things under $25 from Amazon

1. Mini Portable Charger Power Bank

I bought this portable charging power bank right before all of the traveling I did for work over the last two weeks. I knew I’d be using my phone even more than usual at those work conferences, and I figured a slim power bank that didn’t have a ton of cords attached to it would be nice. I LOVED having this thing. The size was small enough to put in my clutch for evening events, and it will fully charge an iPhone 14 one time. I just plugged the power bank into it’s charger at night beside my phone so that it was never dead.

Everyone needs one of these in their stocking this Christmas. I’m serious. Every single person.

2. INNERSENSE I Create Lift Volumizing Foam

I’ve been using and loving this volumizing foam in my hair for years now. The ingredients are clean and safe, and I’m able to achieve the natural looking volume I want without my hair feeling “crunchy”. I use it on wet hair before I blow dry.

3. GIN GINS Original Chewy Ginger Candy

I loved these ginger chews before I was pregnant with Thomas, but they literally saved me while I was pregnant (and nauseous) with Thomas. And they’re helping again this go-round with baby #2. If you’re not pregnant, I love how these cleanse my palette after a meal. They’re a sweet treat too, which helps.

I’ve tried a few different brands and I’m honestly not that picky. You can read all about the benefits of ginger chews in this blog post I wrote a few years back.

4. PopSocket Phone Grip

If you’ve never used a PopSocket on your phone, you’ll be forever changed once you do. It helps you hold on your phone easily without straining your hand. And if you lay your phone on a surface horizontally, it will prop it up so that you can see your screen (great for kids shows in a pinch). You can even buy other PopSocket accessories like this phone mount for your car that works with the PopSocket to prop your phone up on your air vent. Then you can be hands free with your navigation.

I also LOVE this silicone phone case. It’s sleek and pretty, but the PopSocket still sticks to the back. If you want to feel like you have a brand new phone, just order this case/PopSocket combo.

5. David’s Natural Toothpaste

I’m weirdly obsessed with David’s Natural Toothpaste for a few reasons. It’s free of sodium lauryl sulfate, so it doesn’t create foam when you brush (I hate toothpaste that does this). It’s also made with all clean/safe ingredients, and uses a little key to help push the paste to the top of the tube. I love the retro design, and the actual toothpaste is great too.

6. Microfiber Hair Towel Wrap

If you’ve never used a microfiber hair towel, you will LOVE this thing. It removes much more water than a regular towel so hair dries faster. I also love that I don’t have to wear a heavy towel on my head while I get ready when I use this. It’s light, comfortable, and gets my hair 70% dry before I blow it out. This would be a great stocking stuffer for a daughter or mom.

7. Mini Belt Bag

I discovered this Lululemon lookalike a year ago and have used it weekly since! It’s exactly like the Lululemon version but only $15! The Amazon version comes in more colors, ships faster, and looks (and feels) almost identical. I did a side by side comparison and I genuinely think this one is just as great as the Lulu version.

8. LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask

I discovered the LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask for the first time at the Amazon Creator Summit and could not believe I didn’t know about it sooner. I’ve been using it for a few weeks sense and love how it feels when I apply it, and I truly do notice a difference in my lips in the morning. I also really like the scent. Definitely put this in your cart to gift to girlfriends this Christmas.

9. Phone Stand for Desk or Countertop

Until you have one of these phone stands, you don’t know how useful they are. I love using it on top of my desk so that I can see my phone while I work, but if you aren’t an office girl, you may prefer to use it when looking at recipes while cooking, watching reels while you do your makeup (no shame!), or something similar. Teen or college age girls will LOVE this.

10. Billie Whipped Shave Cream

You don’t know a good shave until you use this Billie shaving cream. Not only is the cream itself super smooth and amazing, but the packaging is already great. You squeeze this plastic bottle rather than dispensing through a metal can, so you never get rust stains in your shower. Throw this in everyone’s stockings this year.

11. Ursa Major Essential Face Wipes

Beautycounter discontinued their amazing makeup remover wipes so I had to search high and low for a new brand, and these Ursa Major Essential Face Wipes have been the perfect alternative! They aren’t rough on the skin, they have no harmful ingredients, and they are individually packaged which makes them so easy to throw in your gym bag, purse, travel toiletry bag, etc.

12. Large Toiletry Bag

I am absolutely blown away by this $21 travel essential. I used to take 3 separate toiletry bags on trips (one for skincare, one for makeup, one for hair). Now, I’m able to fit all of my makeup and all of my skincare (which is a 6 step routine) in this one bag. And it takes up less space than my Barrington bag did with just my makeup. I recorded a video showing you how much it fits and how small it zips up, so you can have an idea for just how great this thing is.

13. Graza “Drizzle” Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

This new squeeze bottle design is becoming a big trend for olive oils right now because of this brand! Graza makes two olive oils, a finishing oil that’s for tasting, and an olive oil for cooking. They’re on the pricey end for olive oils, but if you have a cook in your life (or you just like a fun kitchen find like this), you’ll like Graza!! It has a touch of kick to it and a lot of flavor.

14. Magnetic Cord Wrangler

Another gift you will thank me for later. I may just be lazy, but I despise fishing for my phone charger once I’m already in bed. This little cord wrangler is magnetic and your cords just sit right on top so they’re ready when you need them.

15. Fresh Wave Odor Removing Gel

If you have any lingering smells in your home that you can’t seem to shake, these little odor removing gel containers are your answer. These are used by lots of interior designers because they don’t add any smell to your room or attempt to mask it, but this gel actually absorbs the bad smells. They’re great under furniture and help keep your house smelling fresh. Hannah bought a couch on Facebook Marketplace that didn’t smell totally new, and these have helped a lot!

16. Nippies Nipple Cover

These Nippies Nipple Covers are technically $26, but I had to include them since they’re such a great wardrobe staple for me. These little covers work perfectly for unlined swimsuits, dresses that don’t require a real bra, and anything you wear that needs a little more coverage.

17. Decorative Herringbone Faux Cashmere Fringe Throw Blanket

I ordered this faux cashmere blanket for our living room this spring, and I love how it looks! It’s thin and lightweight, so it’s a perfect option for your outdoor living space or a hostess gift. I love all of the color options.

18. Colored Retractable Gel Pens

I know that not everyone has specific pen needs ;), but if you like a fine tip pen, you will love this set of 20 gel pens! For $11, it’s hard to beat 20 colors.

19. Small Space Drying Rack

I truly believe everyone needs one of these small space drying racks. It saves so much space! If you’re someone who hang dries your clothes, you’ll like this so much more than a full-size drying rack. I put it on the back of my door since I can’t reach the shower curtain rod, but it’d be easier to use on a rod!

20. Car Purse Hook

This little hook goes on the back of your passenger seat head rest and holds your bag. It’s so nice to have a place to hang my purse since I hate when it rolls around on the floorboard and the contents spill out when I have a passenger in my front seat.

21. Diamond Dazzle Stik Ring Cleaner

I love this little ring cleaner pen! I use it to clean off my engagment ring every so often. And since the pen is so easy to use, my ring stays clean all the time. I keep this little pen in my purse. Snag this set of two and give one to a newly engaged friend.

22. Simple Modern 40 oz Tumbler

This Simple Modern 40 oz Tumbler is another item that’s just over the $25 budget, but it’s worth including since it’s only $29 and SO great. I like it much more than the Stanley tumbler that everyone raves about. This one is cheaper, doesn’t leak, is lighter in your hand, and holds just as much water.

23. Swedish Dishcloths

These dishcloths are so much better than a regular sponge. They still clean all of the grit and grime off of your dishes, but they dry faster and can be easily washed in your dishwasher, so they don’t spell bad as quickly.

24. LONDONTOWN Illuminating Nail Concealer

I actually go get my nails done pretty regularly since I am on camera for my job, but when I don’t have time to get a manicure, I always use this LONDONTOWN Illuminating Nail Concealer. It’s like a clear coat, but with just enough pigment to mask any imperfections on your nails. It’s super natural, and just gives the appearance that your hands and nails are clean. It’s the perfect everyday shade for anyone who likes to have something on their nails.

There are a few shades, but milky is the most natural in my option.

25. Best Hair Ties Ever

I have thick hair and I hate when ponytail holders leave a crease! These hair ties are magic. They hold my hair up all day and don’t leave any “dents” in my hair.

If you have any $25 or below Amazon favorites, I would love to know! Leave a link in the comments!

As someone in her third trimester of pregnancy, I know very well how challenging it can be to find clothes that are 1. comfortable and 2. cute and on trend and 3. don’t break the bank.

I’ve always been someone who prefers to get all the way ready in “real” clothes, even though I’ve worked from home for years. While I like athleisure outfits here and there, I opt for real clothes more often than loungewear (however, I did find some great maternity workout clothes from Amazon, and specifically the best leggings ever). But with a growing bump – not to mention a busy toddler who needs me – my clothes have to be comfortable. It’s just a non-negotiable at this point.

I know so many other expecting moms feel the same way. Very few of us are willing to spend a ton of money on maternity clothes, knowing we won’t wear them for long. So, I did the heavy lifting for you and found the best affordable maternity clothes I can. The majority of the things I’m sharing below are not actually maternity-specific (which I’ve found can really limit things in terms of cuteness), but actually very bump-friendly. Hopefully, you’ll be able to wear a lot of these pieces long after your baby arrives.

Everything below is from Amazon.com. Amazon is my go-to for things of this nature because I love the prices, the Prime shipping is awesome, and I know I can easily return anything that doesn’t work. Somehow ordering stuff on Amazon doesn’t feel like real shopping to me (oops). (I also have an entire blog post dedicated to maternity workout gear from Amazon if you’re looking for pregnancy activewear.)

Anyway, I hope today’s blog post is helpful for any expecting mommas out there!

My Favorite Amazon Maternity Clothes

Navy Turtleneck Sweater Dress

Sweater dresses are a great maternity option in general because they’re stretchy and forgiving. While this turtleneck tunic style dress is not technically true maternity, it’s the perfect option for the fall and winter with a growing bump. I have a size small and it still works in my third trimester, so it’s a total winner. I love the navy colorway because it looks very high-end (exactly like a $200+ dress I got from Revolve last year), but this dress comes in a ton of other colors as well.

Denim Swing Mini Dress

This denim button down mini dress is another non-maternity dress that I’ve worn throughout the entire fall with a bump. It’s one my favorite purchases from Amazon all year! It’s so stinking cute, fits loose and comfortably, and has feminine sleeve details. We still have a lot of warm weather left in North Carolina, so I expect to keep wearing this for another month or so. I have a size extra-small and it still works in my third trimester.

Black Square Neck Fitted Maxi Dress – Amazon Maternity Clothes

This black square-neck dress is unbelievably flattering and comfortable in person. While I’ve never tried Skims dresses before, it looks exactly like the Soft Lounge Long Sleeve Dress. It was too long on me (I’m 5’1″), but it would be the ideal date night dress for anyone a little taller.

I’m sharing a photo of it on me, but just note that I had the hem folded under. I’m wearing a size small which fit perfectly other than the length. It’s stretchy, so I feel confident that the same size will work as your bump grows.

The Drop Yasmin Side-Slit Midi Sweater Tank Dress

I own both the brown and black versions of this sleeveless sweater dress. I wore it with my first pregnancy, in between pregnancy and again for this one. There’s not much that I’m wearing from Amazon over a year later, and this dress is one of the few.

It’s truly a great basic tank dress that can be styled many ways. I especially love it styled with a blazer for a work appropriate outfit. The blazer I’m wearing below is another Amazon find! I have a size XS in the dress and size XS in the blazer.

Sweetheart Neckline Sweater Dress

I found this sweetheart neckline sweater dress a few weeks ago and added it to my cart immediately. It just arrived today so keep an eye on my Amazon storefront since I’ll post a picture there as soon as I try it on.

This is another non-maternity specific option that would easily work with a bump and then again once baby arrives. The tie for the waist is removable, which will probably be how I wear this while I have a bump. The neckline cut is so tastefully sexy and feminine, but the sweater material gives it a conservative feel as well. I ordered the dark green colorway to wear for the holidays.

Orange Oversized Tunic Top

This orange oversized tunic looks very similar to the navy dress at the top of this post, but I plan to wear it with leggings as a top. I got a size small and I can’t wait to wear it this weekend once it arrives.

Oversized Knit Quarter Zip Pullover

I’m in need of a few more sweaters that have more length because my current sweaters aren’t covering my bump all the way! This oversized knit pullover is arriving this evening (as I draft this post). I ordered a size small. It looks so much like my Spanx pullover that I’ve worn into the ground. Again, I’ll posts pics on my Amazon storefront ASAP!

Knit Quarter Zip Sweater

When I want to feel a little more cute than sporty, I opted for this knit quarter zip with leggings and fashion sneakers. It’s similar to the beige pullover above, but this is a little more polished while the other is more athletic.

Mockneck Sweatshirt

This grey mockneck sweatshirt feels more chic than a regular sweatshirt because of the neckline. Something about the mockneck feels cool and sporty, and it looks a lot like this Isabel Marant sweatshirt that’s close to $500.

Half Zip Oversized Sweatshirt

This oversized half-zip pullover is similar to the sweater above, but more of a traditional sweatshirt. I prefer this pullover when I’m wearing leggings (my favorite Amazon leggings are also still working while pregnant) because it’s a little sportier and the material is warmer. This feels much more expensive than it is – and it’s so affordable. I have a size small in the beige color. It’s actually on sale as I’m writing this.

Amazon Scuba Lookalike Pullover

This cropped pullover from Amazon is one that I did order in a size up. I had read to size up in general for a more Lululemon like fit, so I went up a full two sizes to work with my 36 week bump. A small would have worked well for the majority of the fall, though. At 38 1/2 weeks, it’s a tiny bit short but with a black tank underneath and paired with black leggings, you can’t tell.

HeyNuts Essential 7/8 Leggings

The leggings I love the most are HeyNuts and I’ve shared them hundreds of times. They are 90% as good as Lululemon Align leggings, they don’t fade at all, and they come in a ton of fun colors. The waistband worked on my bump until about 35 weeks ago where it started to slip. Pretty impressive. I recommend these to everyone: pregnant or not.

Outerwear

I needed to order a new jacket for the end of my pregnancy because none of mine would zip. And thank goodness I did! The temperatures dropped pretty low recently and I was so glad I had a coat that would zip over my bump. Again, in the name of not spending a ton of money, I ordered a puffer coat from Amazon and just sized up.

I got this white quilted oversized puffer with a hood for under $100. I sized up to a small and it zipped over my bump just perfectly.

Open Front Oversized Cardigan

This oversized cardigan is one of my favorite recent purchases. It’s SO comfortable and the material feels very expensive. I love the dark green color, and it works perfectly with a bump. Since it’s oversized, you don’t need to size up.. You could easily size down in this, even pregnant. I have an XS.

Striped Open Front Cardigan

Relaxed cardigans will also be your best friend. Thankfully, cardigans are super popular these days, and you can find them in a ton of fits/colors/and patterns. Not only do they work well as a top on their own when buttoned up, but if your bump begins to outgrow them, you can still style them unbuttoned with a tank or tee underneath. I wore this striped cardigan from Amazon most often.

Bohemian Floral Dress Square Neck Maxi Dress

This Amazon embroidered maxi dress looks identical to the Daliah Free People dress that everyone is loving this year. I can’t get over how similar they are! If you’re looking for a cute Thanksgiving dress that’s feminine and easy (or maybe something to wear for a maternity photoshoot), I love this option.

I’ll continue to add to this post as I find more Amazon maternity clothes (since you all know I’m always shopping on there).

These next two days are the very best days to start your holiday shopping, especially since Amazon has said these are the lowest prices we’ll see before the holidays.

Keep in mind that Prime Big Deal Days ends TONIGHT (Wednesday night), so shop quickly! Since shipping is free (you’re a Prime Member, right??), I highly recommend that you checkout immediately when you find something you want. There’s no need to wait and create a full cart before checkout since things will (and do) sell out. Just hit Buy Now as you go.

I’ve included my top picks from Prime Big Deal Days below, but you can also go to my Amazon Storefront and sort through my lists there. I also have a list just for Prime Big Deal Days. Anything included in will have a red sticker on it. I’m also sharing more finds on Instagram as I find them and I’ll send all my picks to your inbox if you’re on my email list.

36 Picks from the 2024 Amazon Prime Day Deals

I know Prime Day sales can feel really overwhelming, because everyone is telling you to buy everything, so I was super picky with what I included here. I’m only including things that I own or have personally purchased during the sale. There are lots of other deals and you could spend hours looking through them, but I’m only sharing what I think is worth buying (sale or no sale).

1. Tineco Floor ONE S3 Cordless Hardwood Floors Cleaner

This mop/vacuum is the purchase I’m most excited about from my Prime purchases. Hannah, my content manager, own this thing and raves about it all the time, so I decided that I was going to get it during the sale. And then Thomas spilled a green smoothie on the kitchen floor and it affirmed that I needed to buy this even more. Not only does it mop messes off of your hard floors (yes, even safe for hardwood because it doesn’t steam and uses very little water), it also vacuums up all of the pet hair, crumbs, and even soupy (and yes, chunky) spills that you can’t get with your broom or other vacuums.

2. Portable Charger

This portable charger might be one of my favorite recent purchases. My phone is always practically dead by the afternoon, and I hate having to stand by a charging cord or hold onto a charging block to wait on my phone to charge. This charger is cordless and you can keep using your phone while it’s charging! Everyone needs this.

3. Washing Machine Descaling Tablets

Could I mix some kind of vinegar concoction up to clean my washing machine? Sure. Am I going to? No. I found these washing machine descaling tablets on Amazon and absolutely LOVE them. You just pop one right into the drum of the washer and turn on a cleaning cycle. Easy as that.

4. Kid’s Kitchen Tower Stool

We have a toddler tower in our kitchen and it’s one of the best things we’ve ever bought. Thomas loves to stand at the same height as us and help cook, and he also prefers to stand while he eats. This tower keeps him safe but also allows him to have some freedom. He gets up into it and down from it by himself. If you have a toddler, you’ve got to get this.

5. Wicker Flatware Organizer

I’m buying this flatware organizer to have for the nights that we host community group at our house.

6. Hair Ties

These hair ties aren’t necessarily an exciting purchase, but you do need to add them to your cart while they’re on sale. I have pretty thick hair, and these are the hair ties I use on the daily. They keep my hair up all day and they don’t leave a bad crease like others do.

7. Oversized Sweatshirt & Shorts Lounge Set

I’ve ordered this same lounge set twice in two different colors. The fit is perfectly oversized without swallowing my petite frame, and the inside of the shorts and sweatshirt are super soft. I love a matching lounge set for the weekends because I feel a little cuter than I do in workout clothes. I get a size small.

8. 100% Mulberry Silk Pillowcase

This is another Prime find that Hannah owns and swears by. In fact, she gifts these for graduation presents every year. Silk pillowcases are such a nice daily luxury while also being great for your skin and hair. It’s hard to beat this price too. I’d go ahead and snag a few on sale for gifts to give to girlfriends this Christmas, or save them for high school graduation gifts. I ordered this for my MIL already 🙂

9. Kindle Paperwhite E-Reader

I’m more of a real book person, but I had a long trip planned and knew I didn’t want to pack 5 books (I read a LOT) in my luggage. This Kindle came in clutch and now I’m a really big fan. If you are planning to shop for any readers this Christmas (regardless of if they are paperback people), I really do think they’ll end up loving this.

10. Davids Natural Toothpaste

This toothpaste is great for all of the regular reasons, but it’s REALLY great for the cool, old-school design. It uses a little key to turn the tube and squeeze the paste out, and it’s just a small thing that makes me happy. It’s a fluoride-free and SLS-free toothpaste, which we love.

11. Handheld Clothes Steamer

I needed a new steamer and bought this foldable one a few months ago. It’s great! I have zero complaints and love that it folds up to save space.

12. Red Denim Romper

I bought this red/pink zip up romper a month or so ago and wear it almost 3 times a week. It’s soft, comfortable, easy to take on and off, nursing (and pregnancy) friendly, and on major sale. I wear a small and it still fits my growing bump.

13. Bissell Green Machine Upholstery Cleaner

I ordered this Bissell upholstery cleaner during the Early Prime Day deals! I tried it out for the first time today and it’s AWESOME. If you have stains on your couch or carpets, this does the trick.

14. LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask

I discovered this LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask in San Diego at the Amazon Creator Conference and was shocked to learn that so many of you already love it! I’ve been using it for a few weeks sense and love how it feels when I apply it, and I truly do notice a difference in my lips in the morning. I also really like the scent. Definitely put this in your cart to gift to girlfriends this Christmas.

15. Nespresso VertuoPlus Deluxe Coffee and Espresso Machine

We got a Nespresso coffee machine a few years ago when I was trying to break my caffeine addiction (1-2 amazing cups of coffee beat 8 bad ones…at least that was my reasoning), and we have never looked back. The coffee is delicious and I’m obsessed with the crema each cup gets on the top. We always get a variety of pods to use with ours since it’s fun to switch it up. I’d be thrilled to receive one of these espresso machines for Christmas (if I didn’t have one), so I can vouch that it makes a great gift. Oh! And this one comes with a milk frother, which I also own and love.

16. Lumineux Teeth Whitening Strips

Lumineux Teeth Whitening Strips are the best option for so many reasons, but mainly because they don’t make your teeth hurt at all (even for people with the most sensitive teeth). I whiten my teeth once or twice a year with these and they make a huge difference.

17. Gym People “Align” Tank Lookalike

This v-neck workout tank is my favorite in my closet right now. It has padding, so you can wear it on its own without a sports bra. I love the cropped length that works perfectly with my favorite Amazon high waisted leggings or maternity over-the-belly leggings. It runs true to size.

18. Magnetic Tiles Building Blocks for Kids

These are Thomas’ very favorite thing to play with right now. There are a ton of different magnetic tile sets you can buy, but I like this 100 piece set since it has SO many tiles! Your kids will love these for Christmas.

19. Oversized 1/4 Zip Pullover

If I had to pick one sweatshirt to bring with me at all times, it’s this Amazon 1/4 zip. I love the oversized fit, the stand-up collar, and the cuffs. Also, I appreciate that this sweatshirt has a large pocket. I wear this most often with leggings, like I did here. Also, I have a size small.

20. Shoks OpenRun Mini Bone Conduction Headphones

My favorite running headphones are included in the sale! I have the minis which are part of Prime Day. I have a full review of Shokz in case it’s helpful, but if you’re going to be gifting to a runner this Christmas, you should get these.

21. Waxed Dental Floss

We only use this specific waxed dental floss in our house.

22. Cool Mist Humidifier

We own a few of these Cool Mist Humidifiers. Both Thomas and I have super dry skin, and I’ve found that keeping these in our bedrooms has helped a ton.

23. POPPI Sparkling Prebiotic Soda

Poppi is a REALLY good alternative for a healthy soda. Bree and Hannah like them so I keep them in our drink fridge. (I still stick to my favorites, Spindrift or ice water with LMNT!)

24. High Waisted Biker Shorts with Pockets

I’ve tried a bunch of biker shorts to find a good alternative to my beloved Fast and Free shorts from Lululemon that were discontinued and these Colorfulkoala shorts are the winners! They feel just like Lululemon and the fit is perfect. Get your true size.

25. Cooling Mattress Pad Cover for Hot Sleepers

This is on my list things I want to try. As you all know, I’m not sleeping super well these days. And while there are plenty of contributing factors, I do get really hot when I sleep, so I bet this cooling mattress pad would help a ton. The reviews are phenomenal!

26. Large Makeup Mirror with Lighting

Gift idea for the girls in your life! This makeup mirror has a 10X magnifying mirror and 3 light settings. I follow another influencer on Instagram who shares this all the time, so I know it must be good. This would be perfect for a high schooler or collage-aged girl.

27. Nippies Nipple Cover

These Nippies Nipple Covers are a wardrobe essential. They may not be the most fun thing to buy, but you’ll be so happy you have them when you need them. I wear these anytime I’m wearing a dress that doesn’t require a true bra (but I still want a little coverage). You can wear them about 35 times before you need to replace them.

28. Oversized Turtleneck Sweater

This is the ideal sweater style to wear with leggings this fall and winter. It covers your bum, has the coziest oversized fit, and the turtleneck is chic and on trend.

29. Casual Long Sleeve Half Zip Pullover

I’m ordering this half zip pullover during the sale. I love the oversized collar, the knit material, and the color options.

30. Open Front Long Knitted Cardigan

This open front cardigan looks so cozy and soft. I definitely want to snag this to wear with t-shirts and leggings during the rest of this pregnancy.

31. High Waisted Running Shorts

I ordered these high waisted running shorts to see how they compare to the Lululemon Speed Up shorts. The inseam is not quite 4 inches, but it doesn’t feel too short. The extra-wide waistband is super comfortable and there is a back pocket that should fit a phone. These run true to size and I got a small. (I would typically order an XS but I’m pregnant so I wanted a little room.

32. Neoprene Workout Dumbbells

Weights are expensive no matter what, so I always buy them during Prime day sales. I have this set of dumbbells at home and love the different variations in weight. I also love that they come with the stand to store them.

33. Woven Tote Bag from 2023 Amazon Prime Day Picks

I’ve been carrying this woven purse for months now and absolutely love it. It’s durable (you can wipe it down easily if anything gets on it), and super cute. I have the green and the apricot color. It looks so much like this designer purse.

34. Peloton Bike

I am THRILLED to see that the Peloton Bike is included in the Prime deals this year! I use mine 3-4 times per week and have never regretted buying it. It’s so convenient to be able to get in a really sweaty workout at home, no matter how busy my day gets.

35. Acrylic Picture Frame

I put our Christmas cards in these acrylic frames every year and display them around the holidays!

36. Frame TV

We absolutely love our SAMSUNG The Frame 55” TV. It’s so slim and sleek looking (a great option if you generally don’t like how a TV looks over a mantle.
