My Current Favorite Products

With the holidays coming up, I’m sharing a few of my favorite products from Amazon that are reasonably priced. All double as great stocking stuffers for us moms!


My husband and I have an agreement that we each fill each other’s stockings for Christmas. We’ve had this arrangement since we started dating and have done it this way every year since. I know I’m in a lucky 3% here. Most moms I know end up filling their own stockings along with everyone else’s. I have since learned that my mom did this too when we were kids.

This inspired me to share some of my favorite products with ya’ll, most of which are pretty small (weird coincidence!) and would fit in a stocking. These are all products I have personally bought and used. I’m including pictures from my Orders page so you can see what they look like and the current price. They’re all pretty inexpensive because I love a deal and I know how it is…I’m a mom too and have a hard time spending money on myself instead of my kid. These are sure to keep you in budget and bring you some joy!

Here’s some of my current favs. There are quite a few health & beauty ones this round, totally by accident.

This lip balm is one of my absolute favs. I was introduced to it years ago (like, college days), and then received a tube as a gift when Viv was born a couple years ago. It lasts me quite awhile, is a great smell, and actually WORKS if you need a healing, hydrating lippy. It also comes in other scents/flavors (totally random side note, but does anyone else think it’s weird to call it a flavor? Idk about you, but I’m not intentionally eating lip balm…). One tube is usually about $10.


These probably won’t fit in a stocking, but I can’t sing the praises of these Birk lookalikes loud enough! For less than $50 they are actually more comfortable than the real ones, in my opinion. I can comfortably wear them all day without blisters or my feet hurting. (Also, that’s a savings of over HALF the price of the real version). They come in a few different colors. I have the ones pictured and love how they go with literally everything. Grab them on deal now when everyone else is buying close-toed shoes for winter!


These satin scrunchies are great for bedtime especially. They aren’t too loose, stay in my hair all night without coming out and, because they’re satin, they don’t pinch or cause my hair to break. I’ve bought them twice, once for myself and once to gift to a friend. A pack of 5 is less than $10.


If you’ve followed me for any length of time on Instagram, you’ve seen this handy gadget before because I’ve talked about it often in my stories because I love it so much. I bought this when Viv was going through a sleep regression and I was getting very little or interrupted sleep and was tired of having dark circles under my eyes all the time. This is an ice roller for your face that reduces puffiness and actually is supposed to work for migraine pain as well. We’ve also used it as an ice pack a number of times because the handle is less cold than holding an ice pack and its small so you can roll it over an owie for relief. For $6, you’ll wish you had bought one sooner.


Look, I don’t like it either but if you are of childbearing age…once a month we bleed. It’s just facts. These period undies make things a little less annoying about the whole process. I don’t use them on super heavy days because on those days I trust nothing. But light or average flow days they hold up great, no leaks at all. Which is honestly nice to not have to worry about any type of accident. I would confidently sit on a white couch wearing them. And I think that says a lot. You get three to a pack which makes them about $7/pair, or less if they’re on sale.


These eyeshadow sticks are my new best friend in my makeup bag. They come in a variety of colors and are so easy to apply. You just smudge them on, use the foam tip on the other side to clean up lines, and go. I have two colors, Sand Shimmer (11) and Mink Mauve Metallic (12). I usually use them both to create a great smokey eye. They’re each around $12/stick, but oddly the price varies by the color.


This is one of my favorite products maybe ever. This massaging exfoliating cleansing brush is a game changer for washing your face. I was exhausted of buying exfoliating creams and cleansers, only to be let down when they didn’t do much (or anything) for my skin. You can literally feel a difference after using this the first time. My face feels soft and has been so much less dull and oily since I started using it.

All you do is add some facial cleanser to the scrub pad, push the button to turn it on, and rub it all over your face to let it cleanse and exfoliate. It’s waterproof so you can use it in the shower, and rechargeable so you don’t have to replace batteries. It’s all silicone so no disposable pad to change out. You just rinse it off when you’re done until next time. Under $30 and worth every single penny.


This is a random one, but definitely worth mentioning. These microfiber towels are perfect for drying your car off post-car wash without leaving lint. They don’t leave any moisture behind and they dry fast. You just toss them on the moisture, and pull it off to leave the surface totally dry and water spot-free. If you don’t appreciate these, the men in your life absolutely will. My husband uses these more than I do. For about $15 you get two of them.


Despite being so digital, I actually love a good old-fashioned notepad. And these are great because they’re small and spiral bound. I keep a couple going at a time. One for daily gratitude, one for to-do lists, another for ideas and projects. My husband uses them for work and personal use. The best part is that you get 5 of them for about $15 (or less if they’re on sale!). That’s normally the price of one normal spiral bound notebook or journal at Target.


Honestly, I was skeptical about ordering these. They are advertised as a crop top, so that was my first red flag. You also never know about quality on Amazon until you get it. I’ve ordered before and had a few things shrink terribly or pill really bad almost immediately after wearing it once. These are actually great quality. So soft and fitted, so very warm for chilly days. They also don’t shrink in the dryer and don’t pill (and I’ve washed them several times now!). They come in a three pack which breaks down to about $11/shirt. There are a number of color combos to choose from, but this is the combo I have and I wear them all the time on repeat. They are a tad short, but not a true crop top. If you wear mostly leggings and higher waist pants (like I do), they will likely be just fine for you.


As a true millennial, I grew up with homemade face masks that are thick and messy. This dead sea mud mask reminds me of Friday night sleepovers, movies, popcorn, and prank calling our crushes. It doesn’t have a strong scent and after about 20 minutes, you can wash it off and have baby soft skin. I know the trend is the peel off ones, and I’m sure they’re less mess, but I love a good thick exfoliating face mask and this one is my absolute fav. You don’t need a lot, so the jar lasts quite awhile even if you use it a few times a week. And if that doesn’t convince you to give it a try, check out the 49k+ 4.5 star reviews. $16 for an 8.8oz jar.

There you have it. Eleven of my current favorite products, all that can easily be ordered from Amazon and delivered to your door. Most of them will even fit in a stocking! And with the holidays right around the corner, don’t forget to fill your own stocking too.
