I’m not entirely sure how people did parenthood before Amazon Prime. Some of our favorite and most useful items have been Amazon home finds.
It’s just become part of life. We notice we need something, we look it up on Amazon, and BAM! On our doorstep before we could pack up the kiddos in the car to go buy it somewhere. (I’m only kind of joking.) Beyond this point, affiliate links are included in this post.
Over the years, we’ve accumulated a list of things we’ve ordered and loved. And since it can feel a little overwhelming to navigate Amazon even through a simple search (the reviews! The features! The options!), I’m sharing some favorite Amazon home finds that make our family life a little more functional.
These items are tested and tried, and unsponsored by the brand. (Although, again, the following includes affiliate links, which allow me to earn advertising commission on items at no extra cost to you. This helps me keep the blog up and running, so thank you for clicking and purchasing!)
Storage Cubes
These are a more recent purchase, but they’re already proving to be durable and solid for packing in toys. I like that they fold flat and look nice.
Bed Frame
My husband is handy, but he’s not a fan of taking hours to put something together. So when this platform bed frame proved to be easy and fast to put together, he was practically jumping for joy. We love it and haven’t had any troubles, except a few stubbed toes as we navigated the new bed. The posts are right on the corner and in the middle – just takes some getting used to.
Night Lights
With two young kids wandering around the house, night lights are necessary. These come in a pack of multiples and automatically power down during the day.
Large Storage Bins
These are absolutely perfect for shoe or toy storage. They’re huge, look classy, and have a cinch top to keep everything in. We’ve had them for years and haven’t gone easy on them. They still look practically new.
Entry Rug
Another recent purchase, but loving it so far. The design of this is really pretty, and it is a great place to wipe your feet on your way in the door. It’s supposed to be easy to clean, too, although I haven’t needed to yet.
Dinner Set
Trendy and stylish, these are not. But I personally like these plain white plates and bowls – they’re timeless and chic. They have withstood drops and bangs and for the most part, everything we’ve had to throw at them. (And when they haven’t – they’re easy and inexpensive to replace.)
Kids’ Water Bottles
We have finally found it – the perfect water bottle for our kids (after trying EVERYTHING). The straw options got icky fast, the lids that come off completely make a mess, others have broken and let us down. These are fabulous. These are so easy to operate and clean, with few leaks.
Wall Mail Organizer and Key Hooks
We’ve bought this one multiple times, and it’s a handy place to keep mail and keys close to the door.
Water Boiler and Warmer
This one was recent, and we are so happy with it! It has a locking dispenser and keeps water hot for when you want a cup of tea or coffee any time of day. It even swivels from side to side. It’ll make a great addition to a coffee bar for having people over.
Shower Curtain Rings
Now that I have these, I’m actually sad I wasted so much time with those stupid little plastic rings that tore up my nails. The double hooks make it easy to hang the shower curtain and liner, and the rings easily hang on your curtain rod. These are a must-have.
