Spring 2025 Amazon Favorites

It’s been a minute since I’ve shared any Amazon purchases, so I thought I’d share what I’ve purchased this spring. It’s a mix of practical items for the home (cleaning and organizing, naturally) and things for the kids. First, I caved and bought an Oura Ring after hearing a few friends rave about it, and I couldn’t love it more. The charge lasts forever, so every few days, I will let it charge while I’m sitting in bed or showering, and I’ve never had the battery die on me. I was on the worst sleep schedule, and this really helped me get it together. It’s also really nice to see how much I need to move my body. Then there’s the best little handheld vacuum, some cleaning supplies, games, and things for the kids.

Spring 2025 Amazon Favorites

I’ve been in spring cleaning mode, but this is the first time I haven’t really purchased any containers to put things in. I have all my bins and baskets, so it’s been more about weeding through the things we no longer need or use—toys, gear, and clothes the kids have outgrown and such.

Oura

Health Tracking Ring

I can't recommend the Oura ring enough. I've still had a few late nights, but have been going to bed earlier and moving my body more. I love it! Order the ring sizer first—the sizing is not similar to standard ring sizes, and the ring is pretty thick. I wear mine on my pointer finger.

Fanttik

Portable Mini Vacuum

This thing is amazing. I ordered it because I needed something small and powerful for the car and litter box. Our normal vacuum does the worst job at vacuuming litter. This little thing is a powerhouse, and so small. It blows up balloons, too.

Grampa's Weeder

Weeding Tool

Weeding is a pain, and in an effort to make it easier, I ordered this handy little tool

Apple

iPad

We have two iPads that we let the girls use when we travel, and since we have a trip next month, I ordered a third. We told the girls they're our iPads that they're borrowing since I don't want my 4 and 6 year olds to think they have iPads, and they have very little access to them. I may start trying to use the new one for Instagram. We'll see how that works out.

Apple

Airpods Pro

One of my old airpods died, and these were on sale (still are) so I got them. They are more comfortable but not sure I notice the difference otherwise. And Bose randomly sent me theirs, and they're so much better, so I'd recommend those.

Cable Cord Cover

I finally ordered a cover for the TV in our au pair's room since we didn't want to run the cord through the wall. It looks really good!

Anker

Charging Station

I have this next to my nightstand. It works really well and allows me to have cords a little closer to my bed.

Conair

Fabric Shaver

This works really well!

Happiels

Muffin Tin

I've been making banana bread muffins and this tin is perfect for minis for the kids.

Lane Linen

Dish Towels

We just restocked our dish towels since ours were a little gross. I like that these are blue so they don't get dingy looking as fast as white ones.

Pura

Linen and Surf Diffuser Refill

I love our Pura plug-in wall diffuser, and keep it right next to the litter box. These smell so good. My only complaint is that we get about six weeks out of them, so they don't last long, but they smell great and work well.

Blueland

Dishwasher Detergent Tablets

I've been using these clean tablets for years, and love that they don't come in plastic — you just put the tablet directly in the dishwasher.

Boxie Pro

The Best Cat Litter

There's a litter everyone recommends for the litter robot and I absolutely hated it. This one works so much better!

Regal Games

Shut the Box

I played this at a friends' house and ended up ordering it for our family, and my 6 year old loves it!

Air Dry Clay

This is annoying to take out of the little plastic bags but my kids have had so much fun with it. Another fun idea — get it in white and let them color on it. They love that, too.

Sculpey

Oven Bake Clay

My kids are obsessed with this clay. I just bought another set a few weeks ago.

Hot Wheels

Stunt Box and Track Builder

We played with this at a friends house and I ended up ordering it for Jack's party. The kids had so much fun playing with it. And I love that everything fits inside the stunt box.
