Since I only shared one Amazon haul last year and since it’s also been a hot second since I’ve shared an Amazon haul on PBF (9 months!), I figured I should make today’s roundup a big one. I divided this post into three sections: Home, fashion and kids. Hopefully this will make this post less overwhelming and make it easier for you to scroll to the sections that interest you.
As always, I’d looove to hear about any recent Amazon wins you’ve found since I get some of my best recommendations from you guys!
And just in case you’d like to check them out, here are my past Amazon hauls all in one spot:
- Amazon Haul #4: June 2021
- Amazon Haul #3: March 2021
- Amazon Haul #2: March 2020
- Amazon Haul #1: September 2019
Amazon Haul: 10 Home, 10 Fashion and 10 Kids Finds
Amazon Haul: Home
- Bissell AeroSlim Handheld Vacuum (A handy, cordless handheld mini vacuum perfect for cleaning up car messes, in between couch cushions and small spaces.)
- Puracy Stain Remover (I’ve been using this natural stain remover for years and order the 48-ounce refill to pour into our bottle. It works incredibly well! Just make sure you spray your stain, rough it up a bit — I use a toothbrush to do this — and let it sit for a bit before washing.)
- Bluetooth Alarm Clock with Wireless Charging (After the clock in our bedroom died, Ryan ordered this one because we wanted something sleek that wasn’t too bright. Bonus: You can set your phone on top for wireless charging.)
- Black Kraft Paper + Chalk Markers (A great combo for wrapping up birthday gifts and decorating them with chalk markers for a unique feel!)
- Ceramic Soap Dispenser + Bamboo Brush (After using this at my parents’ house, Ryan ordered it for our home, too. It works well and isn’t a total eyesore on the counter.)
- Sleep Eye Mask Headphones (If you like to listen to audiobooks or sleep-related apps before bed, these headphones are amazing!)
- Metal Clamps (A random order but I was frustrated by the flimsy clamps we were using to keep items in our pantry closed. These are super strong — especially for their small size!)
- Simple Modern Tumbler (This was part of a teacher gift and I’ve seen Ryder’s teacher using it on an almost daily basis so I think it’s safe to say it was a win! I have the same tumbler in the 28-ounce size and reach for it even more than my YETI.)
- Wireless Ultra-Slim Mouse (I bought this to use with my laptop on the days I work out of the house at a local coffee shop.)
- Dash Rapid Egg Cooker (I ordered this one for my mom because once she tried our egg cooker, she realized the magic of this thing! It makes peeling hard boiled eggs a breeze.)
Amazon Haul: Fashion
- Loose-Knit Sleeveless Sweater Top (The perfect transitional top. Cute under a cardigan and on its own. I prefer the darker colors — I have it in rust and olive — because the lighter colors were a little too sheer for me. I also sized up!)
- Maaji Reversible Sporty Bikini Top + Bottoms (Spring break is coming up for our family and I ordered this reversible bikini because it looked like a great one for more active beach and pool days with the boys. I love the fit of it so much. Size up in the bottoms!)
- Press On Nails (I loved the funky design of these press-on nails — I ordered “colorful swirl” in the almond shape and they look so springy! — but I haven’t used them yet and actually have never tried press-on nails before in my life. I’ll be sure to report back if they live up to the hype!)
- Dragon Fit Longline Crop Top (An incredibly flattering top! I love the neckline of this one and the soft sweat-wicking fabric. I’m a new super fan of Dragon Fit fitness apparel on Amazon — great quality for a low price point.)
- Dragon Fit Joggers (I bought these based on a @things.i.bought.and.liked recommendation and love them. They have a silkier fit so they look a little more put together than other sweats/joggers.)
- Lavento Crop Tank Top (I’m semi-addicted to this top which is why I ordered it in yet another color. The length is slightly longer than other crop tops out there which I appreciate as someone with a long torso.)
- Super-Thin Eternity Band (My ring rash is still raging from my wedding band so I’ve been wearing this $14 find in the interim.)
- Lug Sole Chelsea Booties (in Cream) (Waterproof, comfy and cute with jeans, overalls and leggings. I size up 1/2 size.)
- Waterproof Sling Bag (Still mind blown over the price of this bag for the quality. We bought it for our ski trips and I can guarantee we will be bringing this on vacations for years to come. Such a smart design!)
- Nude Square-Toe Stiletto Sandals (The sandals I bought for a wedding last fall! I adore these and find them surprisingly comfortable for heels.)
Amazon Haul: Kids
- Tabor Place Glass Sippy Cup (I’m forever on a mission to reduce plastic use in our home and ordered this two-pack of sippy cups for Rhett. The silicone sleeve protects the glass and he loves them.)
- Non-Slip No Show Socks (Shorts weather is on the horizon and Chase needed some new no-show socks to wear with his sneakers and slip-on shoes. They’re nice and thick which I’m hoping will prevent holes and the no-skid bottoms are necessary in our house since the boys run all over our slippery hardwood floors.)
- Glow-in-the-Dark Throw Blanket (For the past month or two, Ryder has been goin through a phase where he gets out of bed 1-2 times a night and comes into our room. We’ve tried everything to keep him in his bed and nothing worked… until Ryan ordered him THIS glow-in-the-dark blanket. We pitched it as a “magical glowing blanket” and said it could stay with him as long as he stayed in his room all night. And just like that… MAGIC.)
- Flower Crown Craft Kit (This is a go-to birthday party gift for us these days because every little girl we’ve given it to has followed up with us and raved about it!)
- REUZEL Pomade (This is the pomade we use in the boys’ hair every day. It’s great for adding a little texture and keeps Ryder’s “spikes” in place.)
- AVAUMA Shorts + Tee Pajamas (I’ve been ordering various colors of these slim-fit jammies for our boys and my nieces for years. The shorts + tee version is great for warmer weather.)
- MegaBlocks First Builders Blocks (This blocks set was part of our first year birthday present for my niece, Colette. All of our boys have loved this as their first set of building blocks set. As a mom, I appreciate the fact that the blocks come in a bag for easy organization.)
- Who Ever Heard of a Flying Bird? + The Circus Ship (I can never resist glowing book recommendations from you guys and these were two recent winners I ordered for the big kids thanks to you!)
- Choo-Me Pouch Toppers (I ordered these pouch topers as a throw-in baby shower gift. I include it in nearly every baby shower gift these days because the pouch toppers are a serious game changer for mess-free independent feeding.)
- Glider Airplanes (This was another birthday party gift! These airplanes might not seem like much but I cannot recommend them enough, especially for boys ages 3 and up.)

Love posts like this! Each category is relevant to me, but I appreciate how you split them up so it’s easy to browse through! Question, love that bathing suit, but was the top really $72? The bottoms are about half of that so just curious if the price spiked up for some reason. Otherwise it’s exactly the style I’m looking for right now!

I love our Dash mini-donut maker … we make up a cake mix, store it in a pastry bag with a tip (it lasts several days) and it “pours” into the holes in the maker perfectly.
Hot donuts in less than 5 minutes.
Jenn says
I totally get that these posts are important for bloggers but all the fast fashion and disposable Amazon stuff makes me sad. Local book stores and boutiques are really suffering right now.
Cindy says
I totally agree with you. I would rather shop local and at small businesses here in my area. There are times though when I have to order elsewhere because I can’t find something here.
A. says
Yes, do a little research on Amazon. Bad work ethics. Bad for local economies. A few super rich access the profits, they are super small tax contributor all over the world. Just the worst business for real people.
Abby says
Good timing on the stain remover! It was almost $20 more a couple weeks ago!
Mary says
Circus Ship’s author has a new book Big Truck Little Island coming out in early May! All of his books are excellent so I bet this new one will be too.
I’d also like to recommend http://www.bookshop.org over Amazon for book ordering. It supports local, small business bookstores.
Pamela says
Thank you so much for this link! I love that you can support a local book shop, but still have the ease and selection of online ordering.
Julie says
Thank you for sharing, Mary!
A. says
So, you just blocked my comments on Amazon but I guess you read it before, right ? Here is some reading for you, Julie, if you really care about people and not your $ : https://www.ethicalconsumer.org/company-profile/amazoncom-inc
Julie says
Hi A. I did not block your previous comments but the comment you left yesterday went into moderation which is what happens whenever someone leaves a comment from a new IP address, comments under a new name or links to outside websites (this is a common issues with bots/spam). I appreciate you sharing this with me. It’s a balance because I do personally shop through Amazon and know many of my readers do as well as these posts truly are some of my most requested. I don’t share them often (1-2 a year) but will do more reading about Amazon. I’ve actually had a few friends sell through Amazon with their small businesses (MoveMama apparel is one — she ships all her items herself!) and it’s really benefited her company to sell through Amazon but I appreciate you sharing that article with me and will read more.
Emily says
Oh I needed that ring recommendation! I’ve been reacting to both my wedding ring and a silicone band for a while. Maybe this one will work?
Yolanda McLean says
Thank you for sharing this post, Julie. You don’t share often and I appreciate that I can read or choose not too. We all have that option.
I ordered that sling backpack. I’ve had my eye on one for a while and paying attention to how we live our weekends outside, I think this will really be handy.
Keep sharing your awesome content. Your Friday post is the first I read every Friday.
Jeanie Sutphin says
Hi Julie! I don’t usually comment about things but I would like to say that I love your posts. I think you are a wonderful, devoted mother and wife. You are doing a great job with your family. I would love to see more posts about the house, devotional time (especially with the kids) and maybe even get your mom to write about her life every once in a while. Your children are so precious and your relationship with Ryan seems to be so loving and supportive of each other. It is so nice to see these days. Have you been able to find a church family to interact with? I love the new house and love seeing how you are putting things away. Gives me inspiration! Spring cleaning will be here soon! LOL!! Love to you and be blessed.

You should check out the magnetic silicone cord ties. They’re a game changer. You just wrap around the cords and it’s secured by the magnets on both ends.
