While nearly everything I buy comes from Amazon, not all of it is noteworthy enough to be highlighted. Feature roundups like these are for the more rare and life-altering finds. Today, this roundup is specifically for my best amazon home finds in action. I’m giving you a glimpse into how these small treasures improve my quality of everyday life before deciding if you need them too.
Bonus: you also get a fun glimpse into how my Instagram Reel covers (and photography skills) have evolved over the years. 😊
Rotating Bathroom Counter Organizer
This shelf has easily been one of the best additions to my overall home organization. It’s like a Lazy Susan but for your toiletries! My bathroom counter had stuff allllll across my sink and it was clutter city. Wanting something to keep the masses contained but still easily accessible I started looking for bathroom organizers. I bought this rotating bamboo shelf in June 2020 and it’s still in my bathroom with basically all the same things on it to this day.
While this shelf is amazing at wrangling toiletries in any bathroom it’s especially great in small spaces, apartments, studios, etc. where extra space just doesn’t exist. There’s a reason I led with this Amazon home find; I strongly recommend it!

Splash-Stopper Kitchen Sink Mat
Do you have kids or partners with no concept of water splashing everywhere? Because this silicone kitchen sink mat is for you! It comes in a few colors and multiple sizes to fit your specific sink situation. Have a sink with separate handles and/or soap dispensers? Amazon is full of different options, adjust your search based on your specific sink’s situation.
Safer Auto-Retracting Box Opener
If you have little ones at home this is a big one. I got my Slice box cutter within the last year and both Kevin and I have used it every single time we have to open a box. It’s SO much safer than scissors, much more ergonomic and with an auto-retracting blade it’s MUCH safe if its ever accidentally left within reach of little hands.
Be sure you order the non-locking blade (it’s the one in green/gray in my video). The other one on that product page does not auto retract to pull the blade inside.
Bamboo Drawer Organizers
If your cooking utensil drawer is feral, please keep reading. These bamboo drawer organizers have not only transformed my kitchen drawer organization but now also my bathroom and nursery organization systems. The beautiful part is that many drawers’ insides share this bamboo color so you can use one set in multiple places, depending how many dividers you need in each one.
Towel Warmer for the Bathroom (Pool, Hot Tub and More)
Home Bathroom 🤝 Spa. I’d go as far as saying my towel warmer is at the top of my 2023 Amazon home finds of the year list (which is fictional, but if it DID exist…).
I use this towel warmer EVERY DAY. Even on days when it hit 100 degrees I was still chilly when I got out of the shower, and this helped tremendously. When I was pregnant with Alexis in 2022 I noticed how easily I got cold, especially after showers, and this would’ve been a HUGE help.
Alternatively, if you have a pool, hot tub or kiddos that love water days, a towel warmer is a fantastic way to bring a comfortable end to the activity. Mine is a large model too, so it comfortably fits multiple oversized towels at once. Be sure to note sizes when you’re browsing for a towel warmer, as it can be hard to tell sizing by just the photo and you don’t want to accidentally buy one that’s too small.
Collapsible Leftover Pizza Container with Dividers
Finally, a food storage container that can break down for storage! My left over pizza container fits up to six large pieces of leftover pizza with plastic dividers to keep your pieces nicely intact. You can even reheat them in this container and the lid comes with a little steam release latch. It’s very functional and comes in a bunch of colors to match your kitchen and food containers’ vibes!
Olive Oil Cooking Sprayer
If you prefer to use actual olive oil when cooking and not the sprays, these are for you. You can evenly distribute pure olive oils onto your cooking surface with this non-aerosol olive oil sprayer from Amazon. You can even save a bit on a two-pack if you’re hoping to infuse a second one with some flavor i.e. garlic or sweet chili for instant flavor for your favorite recipes!
Self-Straining Pickle Jar
My Instagram viral pickle jar has over 4.7 MILLION views and counting! Plus, it’s definitely one of my more unique Amazon home finds.
Chances are if we’re Insta-friends you’ve already seen this, but it’s worth another mention given it’s huge popularity. This glass and silicone pickle jar strains the pickle juice from your spears when you’re ready to enjoy them. Simply turn the jar over a few minutes before serving and gravity will do the work for you. Non-pickle enthusiasts have knocked it’s necessity on my original Instagram post, but if you love pickles like me, you get it! No one wants pickle juice swimming into their other food.

Silicone Dish Mat
How many cloth dish mats have you bought in your lifetime? Probably more than you care to admit (or maybe not enough 😅). Either way, make the last one your LAST one. This silicone dish mat has been awesome, I’ll never go back to cloth!
It’s dishwasher safe so when it gets grimy you can either pop it in the dishwasher or just give it a quick scrub in the sink with the dish wand. Originally, I got the gray one but after getting my black sink splash mat I ordered the black one so my sink area looks more cohesive (and I think it shows the ‘ick’ less so I can get away with cleaning it less, if I’m being honest).
Mini Travel Jewelry Box
Stop throwing your necklaces and gems into baggies and old make up bags (we’ve all been there) and use this instead. This tiny travel jewelry box holds so much more than you realized and is actually soft and laid out like a jewelry box, keeping your gems safe. For under $10 you can travel life the fancy betch you really are with a soft shell, zip-shut jewelry box that is small enough to fit in your purse. It even has a mirror so you can doll up on the fly!
Candle Care Accessories
Hear me out. These might seem unnecessary (they may be for some folks) but I’ve really found benefit from my candle accessory set, which is why I’m taking the time to include it on this list.
Firstly, I LOVE the wick trimmer. It’s what I was looking for when I initially decided on getting a full candle accessory set. You can’t always get scissors down into a narrow jar and the trimmer simplifies the process for regular burners. Also, the way they’re shaped allows the trimmer to catch the piece of wick, another appreciated convenience.
What I didn’t see coming was how much I’d love the wick dipper. This is the slender pointy piece in the set. Instead of blowing your candle out you can simply use this to dip the wick in the wax and put it out without the nasty black smoke or smell. You can also simply re-cap the candle if yours came with one, but for candles without lids this is really a game changer. There’s also a
It’s amazing looking back on just how many of my Amazon home finds get used in our daily life. Do you have any notorious Amazon gadgets that your household can’t run without? Share them in the comments, please!
