I try to shop local as much as possible. It’s important to support small businesses within your community! But just like most people, I buy a majority of my items online. From clothing to groceries to home goods…I don’t even want to think about how much money I’ve spent on Amazon, Walmart, Temu, Under Armor, and countless other sites that weren’t “necessities”. But I did (still do) and it’s done. Some were good, some were bad – but I’m here to talk about the good!

Here are the top 10 items I’ve bought on Amazon for organizing my home:
Stuff Animal Storage Bean Bag. These things has lasted over a year so far of wear and tear from my kids. They each have one and the quality exceeds my expectations. And they are HUGE! The pictures shown on Amazon are legit. These bags are currently holding a sleeping bag (kid size), small child size blankets, a TON of stuffed animals and a regular size pillow…in each one (pic below is only about 3/4 full – could still fit a sleeping bag in there)! There is a thick, sturdy handle on them too. They also come in more “adult” style patterns and colors acting as a large, functional poof in any living area!
Tea Bag Organizer. My husband gets on a tea kick and likes variety. I have a tiered holder in our pantry but I wanted something that was easily accessible by the stove & mugs. I found this and it’s been working great! The 3M tape that comes with it has held up on our painted cabinet door for over 1.5 years. I’m not sure why the reviews are so mediocre?! Maybe they’re over-filling? I really like mine! Doesn’t have to be for just tea – use for other smaller kitchen, office or bathroom items!
Retractable Peacock Toothpick Holder. This purchase was so unnecessary and so needed at the same time. It is lovely. Not something I would normally purchase but it makes me smile every time I go for a toothpick ☺. The push button has not stuck for me it’s been very smooth to open and close. It is bigger than I thought and it doesn’t hold a ton of toothpicks but I still love it. No regrets!
4-Pack Canisters for Floss Picks/Cotton Balls/Q-Tips/etc. These are cute and functional and pretty well made for the price. They come with pre-printed stickers and blank ones. Holds a lot but narrow enough they still can fit in our shallow medicine cabinet.
4-Pack of Empty Plastic Pump Bottles. These are the 16 oz bottles that I’m currently using in our shower for Shampoo, Conditioner and Body Wash. I buy the large bottles when they go on sale and don’t have the room in my shower – these are smaller and uniformed and make me think I have my life together. The stickers are also in my top 10 below. These have been in use for over a year and I’ve had no issues with cracking, plugging or liquid seeping out when it shouldn’t.
Printed Bathroom Labels. I’ve had these on all my pump dispensers (above here) in the shower for over a year and there’s no fading, wrinkles or rips. they’re in the main bath where the shower runs 2-4 times a day. My husband uses Redken Brews 3 in 1 so I just cut the stickers so his bottle has all three labels.
Bedside Caddy. These caddy’s came in really handy for my kids’ bunk and loft beds. What I received I thought was good quality. The velcro was SUPER velcro-ey and the hooks were a bonus for extra reinforcement. The kids have been using since October 2022 and they’re still going strong. This could work well with pack-n-plays and cribs too! Or camping!
Magnetic Hooks. I love these so much I bought them twice! They are small but mighty. I use them on the fridge for keys, on the back of my wall-mounted TV’s to hold up cords, on our fireplace mantle for stockings (empty). I even have them on our large safe in my office so I can hang my pretties up. They are sturdy!
Under the Cabinet Banana Hook. I HATE things on my kitchen counters. I have very little counter space and if I could hide or hang everything I would! This hook is bigger so it will hold a large bunch of bananas. It also folds flat when not in use! (Pardon the bananas, they’ve had a rough week 😂).
Sliding Tray for Coffee Maker. Freaking game changer! Our cabinets sit a little low so I had to keep our coffee machine out just enough so the lid didn’t catch on the cabinet when I poured the water in. It annoyed me! I found this and now I can have the coffee machine against the wall and just slide it out to fill and slide it back! For reference, we have a Bunn coffee maker that’s a little larger than traditional ones because it has a holding tank of heated water. It fits just fine on this.
