Amazon Reader Favorites {Volume 4}

Last updated on August 7th, 2025 at 10:20 am

It’s time for another round of one of my favorite series to write – Amazon Reader Favorites! Anyone who knows me knows that I’m just a little bit obsessed with all things Amazon. I shop there more than anywhere else, and I’m always interested in hearing about the things my friends are buying on Amazon. So, a few years ago I started asking y’all for your favorites on a semi-regular basis. And, as usual, you delivered!

So, one a year or so I like to write a post with a few of your new favorites on Amazon. I asked over on Instagram last week, and the recommendations poured in. So today, I’m rounding them all up in one place. These products run the gamut from things for the home to personal care to totally random finds. As usual, I found a few things to add to my cart as well, so I’m always grateful for that!

Amazon Reader Favorites Volume 4

1. Having a ratchet screwdriver around is always handy, and one of you messaged to say you’re constantly finding new uses for it. I love that this one comes with a ton of different bits, so it’ll work for anything you need. This is one of those tools that isn’t all that exciting to buy, but you’ll probably use it way more than you expect.
2. I’m always lookign for good pull-out cabinet organizers and this one looks so great! It’s quick and easy to install, it looks nice and sturdy, and it can make those lower cabinets so much more functional. This sort of thing is one of my favorite small ways to upgrade my kitchen!
3. My best friend has been talking about this at home gel polish kit for ages – she loves it! Her nails always look so great, too. This is such a good option if you want to keep your nails looking nice but don’t want to spend the money on regular manicures. I’m pretty loyal to my favorite fake nails, but I’ll admit that I’ve eyed this kit a time or two!
4. This guy is exactly the reason I love writing these posts so much. There’s nothing more fun than finding a completely random product recommendation that solves a small but majorly annoying problem. I mean, who hasn’t wished for some soda can tab covers when you’re eating dinner outside in the spring and can’t keep the flies away from your drink?! Such a genius product and I think every kitchen could probably benefit from having some of these stashed in the drawer!
5. I have several friends who have used this guided mother daughter journal and everyone raves about it. So, when I saw it on the list of recommendations from y’all I knew I had to include it. I think this is such an incredibly sweet idea and would make the most special keepsake for you and your daughter to keep forever! There’s a version specifically for sons, too!
6. I had never heard of this product but when one of you mentioned how much you love this 5-point harness release aid, I thought it was such a great idea! So many smaller kiddos have such a hard time unbuckling that 5-point harness, and there are certain situations where you just need them to be able to do it themselves. I would have loved to have one of these a few months ago before Grant finally figured out how to unbuckle himself!
7. I have a tanning lotion that I really love, but after hearing how much y’all raved about this BaliBody Tanning Mousse, I might have to try it when I run out of mine! It gets great reviews and is one I’ve been hearing about for quite a while. A good self tanner can be hard to find, so I’m always interested when someone says theirs is amazing.
8. I think that every single time I’ve written one of these posts, the Zevo Flying Insect Trap has been recommended at least a few times. We got ourselves one of these last year and I can attest that they really are great. If you deal with fruit flies in your house, and even some larger flies, it can make a huge difference! It’s totally non-intrusive, doesn’t make a noise, and blends into the background. But man, it sure does get rid of those bugs!
9. I think so much can be said for a solid, nice-looking backpack, and one of you said this one was a new favorite! If you’re constantly carting things back and forth to work, kid activities, or anything else, having a backpack that you don’t hate makes a big difference. This one is really affordable, and it looks so nice, too!
10. Apparently, if you’re dealing with ants, this liquid ant killer is a game-changer. This is something we’ve dealt with in the past, so I’m definitely mentally bookmarking this stuff for the future!
11. I can personally agree that Grampa’s Weeder is such a great thing to have on hand. It makes dealing with weeds so much easier, especially for those of us who hate dealing with our lawns. I gave up a few years ago on really getting rid of every single weed, but sometimes they just have to be pulled. This makes it so quick and easy, and doesn’t hurt your back at all.
12. When I saw this 5-pack of shower caddies, I immediately added it to my cart. I’ve had a hard time finding good shower caddies that really last and can hold what we need them to. I like that this set comes with several, because I feel like they’ll last longer if there are fewer things in them! We’ll see, but I’m definitely going to give them a shot.
13. I can’t tell you how many people I have heard profess their love for the Simple Modern tumbler. It’s apparently a great Stanley dupe, and it comes in so many really fun colors. If I didn’t already have too many tumblers as it is, I would definitely be buying one of the neon ones!
14. I had to include the Bissell SteamShot steam cleaner, because we all know my love for Bissell runs deep. Having a steam cleaner on hand is truly so convenient for so many little cleaning tasks, and the size of this one is so great.
15. I’m excited to be able to include these Saucony athletic socks because I’ve been personally recommending them for years. I learned a while ago that having good athletic socks is vital if you do a lot of running. These are the ones I wear every single day. In fact, writing this post reminded me that my original set I bought years ago is finally starting to fall apart after hundreds of miles, so I grabbed myself some more! Athletic socks can get so incredibly expensive, and these are high quality without the big price tag.
16. I think this car cleaning gel is another one that has been recommended multiple times on these lists! It’s consistently something I hear people swear by, and I think this time I might have to actually break down and get some for myself. I could certainly do a better job about keeping my car clean, and I think if I had some of this in there I would be a lot more likely to stay on top of it!
17. Oh look! Another product I can personally vouch for! I grabbed some of these car seat headrest hooks recently, and they’re so handy to have around if you want to keep your car a little more organized. They’re great for hanging your purse if you don’t want to toss it on the floorboard, and it’s a good place for kids to hang their excess junk on the back of your chair.
18. I’ve been hearing people rave about how useful Apple AirTags are for years, and I haven’t ever grabbed any. But, the more I see them the more I think they’d be so great to have. I know people who use them for everything from keeping track of their purse to tossing one in a kid’s shoe when they go to places like Disney! They’re truly so versatile!
19. I fell absolutely head over heels in love with SOL DE JANEIRO Fragrance Mist a few months back, and it’s become one of the products I use every single day. I’ve been seeing it everywhere lately, for good reason! It smells heavenly, it’s not too strong, and it lasts nicely throughout the day.
20. And finally, I’m a bit of an AirPod loyalist, but I keep seeing people recommend these wireless earbuds that are so incredibly affordable, and I have to admit I’m curious! Apparently the sound quality is great, they hold a good charge, and they’re a fraction of the price of the Apple ones. You know I love me a good deal!

And there you have it. Twenty new things you maybe haven’t seen before that my friends over on Instagram swear are the best of the best. I have a feeling I’ll be trying quite a few things from this list, and I can’t wait!
