7 Amazon Home Must-Haves of 2023
I have been in my first home now for almost 10 months! When I moved in, I didn’t have much to start out with. I had random pieces of furniture, some were given to me, and some were things I had picked up over the years. I did not realize how much stuff really went into a house that had… well, nothing.
Over time though, I have spent plenty of time and money gathering my perfect essential home additions. (I’m also a Realtor too, so I think I know a few things 😆) Amazon has been my go to when shopping for my new home. I am always on the go, so being able to shop from anywhere, and be confident that my package will arrive promptly, makes it such a hassle free way to fill my home with the items I really need. Enough chatting though, let’s get into it!
These are my top 7 amazon must-haves when moving into a new house, or just adding to your existing home!
1. EASY RELEASE ICE TRAYS
First, are these ice trays! I have to have ice in any drink I have, but I can’t stand having to twist and crack traditional ice trays. I always end up cracking them too hard, that they break.
I have to admit, I did not buy these myself. When my boyfriend’s parents came over for the first time, they noticed my dislike for the old trays I had. They were so sweet and ordered these for us! I literally could not go back now if I had to.
It may seem silly, but these are truly life saving. No more twisting, bending, or cracking hard plastic in hopes of getting your wonderful chilly ice cubes out. Just push in the rubber bottom to pop them out! They also come with lids, which is great for stacking. These come in a back of four.
2. STRIPED UMBRELLA
Next we have this black and white striped umbrella! I love sitting on my porch, especially when it rains. This umbrella isn’t anything ground breaking, but it is on the larger side, and makes my porch look super chic.
I have always admired the porches with the black and white umbrella, porch cover, and pillows. Now that I get to be one of those porches, I think my home and heart are complete.
3. MY PILLOW
Recently, making my bed as comfy as possible has been extremely important to me. I know there is also a new version of this pillow, which I will never be trying… You can’t beat this, and I can’t sleep without them!
There isn’t too much else to say about this pillow, other than, you should try it. Mike Lindell is also close to my heart. I finished reading his book, “What Are the Odds? From Crack addict to CEO,” as I landed in Las Vegas last summer and have been obsessed ever since.
4. NESPRESSO
This may not be on everyone’s “need” list, but it sure was on mine. It might be a little lavish, or so I tell myself, but I have used this Nespresso so much since it has arrived!
I justify it by all of the money saved since I no longer go to Starbucks everyday. I have mastered my Starbucks order now too! I now make an Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso almost every morning. A pack of 10 Nespresso pods is only $10. Add the cost of oak milk and sweetener, and you are literally making your Starbucks copy cat for about $1.50 a day… Sounds like a deal to me!
5. SUSTAINABLE GLASS CUPS
These glass cups are AMAZING! They are so heavy, which is a must when having nice cold glass of water. They come in a couple of different colors, but I must say, I think the white and clear is so beautiful!
On top of that, they are sustainable and made from old glass wine bottles that are collected from landfills! I can’t think of a better way to consume Dr. Pepper. If you are wanting to be environmentally friendly, or at-least, not harmful to this wonderful planet, you should really consider picking up these glasses whenever you find yourself needing a cup refresh.
6. EGYPTION COTTON SHEETS
Like mentioned above, having a comfortable bedroom is really important to me. Since bringing our newborn home, we don’t get much sleep. However when we do, these sheets feel like sleeping on a cloud!
We are constantly traveling, and staying in new hotels. I mean constantly. I am writing right now from my 10th hotel this month. It has been my goal to make our bed at home feel as perfect as the best 5-star hotel bed around. These sheets are a copycat to my favorite brand of hotel we stay in. So, I am very happy with this purchase.
7. BISSELL VACUUM
Last but certainly not least, this vacuum comes in handy when having to deep clean before we have guests. And yes, every time anyone comes over.
I was a little worried when moving into our house that has carpet in the bedrooms, but this vacuum is extremely inexpensive, (when did vacuums become so affordable??,) and handy to pull out when in a hurry.
I also might add that it is so fun to use this vacuum. I think purchasing this vacuum made me become old, because it is literally my favorite hobby. I pull it out and get to work if I am bored.
Well there you have my top-7-amazon essentials! I surely have a few more that I will be sharing with you shortly. Let me know what you think in the comments below? I would also love if you shared any amazon suggestions you may have!
