Another month means another list of noteworthy Amazon products, and this time around, I’ve rounded up the bestselling products Skimm’rs have been buying in bulk. While you’re at it, click here for our most recent list of Amazon steals (which includes a ton of practical essentials) and check out our Amazon storefront.
A high-quality umbrella that will last you years…
Umbrellas are like luggage — if you don’t invest, you’ll end up re-buying a new one over and over again. This one is sturdy, reliable, and designed to withstand winds up to 100 mph (although, if that’s the case, please don’t be outside). It’s specifically meant for travel, so it’s small enough to stow in a tote or carry-on without taking up too much space.
The easiest way to slice and serve pizza at home…
I’ve been a longtime fan of Dreamfarm, a kitchenware brand that makes practical tools that seem gimmicky but actually work. This Scizza is both a pizza cutter and a serving spoon, making it ideal for anytime you’re entertaining at home.
A phone holder that connects to tray tables…
Not many phone grips have passed over eight hours of turbulence vibration testing, but this one has. It has a military-grade, dual-spring grip that will keep your phone steady and secure during your flight. It’s easy to adjust and can fit in your pocket once folded up.
A rechargeable mosquito repeller that works with your decor…
This mug-sized mosquito repeller is minimalist only in style. By pushing one button, you’ll reach maximum protection within 15 minutes. There are no flames, smoke, or scents — just a pet-friendly formula that wards off mosquitos from up to 20 feet away. If you’re big on backyard dinners late into the fall season, this repeller is a must.
The pimple patches our entire team swears by…
Our Senior Commerce Director and I live for a Mighty Patch pimple patch. They’re effective, nearly indetectable, and can be used on the body, too. Make sure to buy them with your FSA/HSA dollars. I’ve already used up a few packs in the last few months, especially when traveling.
A powerful fan that’s a noteworthy AC swap…
Whether you’re on a budget or your AC has gone out and you need backup, this Pureborne tower fan is under $80, works with Amazon’s Alexa, and is 42-inches tall. It’ll provide ample airflow for anyone who runs hot (it’d be perfect for college students, too).
A nostalgic drugstore hair removal product making a major comeback…
Yes, 2026 was the summer of Nair. Our Commerce Director swears by it as a no-frills way to remove body hair without having to head to the waxing salon. The shower cream has notes of coconut and is even safe for sensitive skin. Just apply it like body wash and rinse.
A beginner-friendly fountain pen…
Another analog product you’ll be seeing everywhere? The fountain pen. This Pilot one is about $12, making it ideal for anyone who wants to give it a try without spending a ton. It comes with a guide for first-time users and a corresponding ink cartridge. Crossing off to-dos just got a lot more satisfying.
The eye masks that wake us up in the morning…
Consider grace & stella’s gold eye masks as caffeine for your under-eyes. The rejuvenating patches are made with sea moss to reduce the appearance of fine lines, while the hyaluronic acid and glycerin hydrate. If you’ve been staying up later than usual for work or class, these eye masks are the perfect energy boost. Since they’re individually wrapped, they’re perfect for traveling.
A holy grail hand cream…
This genius hand lotion is formulated to create a wrapping effect, like an invisible glove that coats your skin in emollients to seal in moisture — and the “glove” stays on for a full 24 hours, even throughout multiple hand washes. It also dries down as soon as you rub it in, so you can get right back to typing and texting without getting your devices greasy.
A cult-favorite brow gel…
You can now buy Glossier’s Boy Brow on Amazon, which means you don’t have to go longer than two days without it if you ever run out. I love this one because it’ll provide a waxy hold to your brows that isn’t crunchy, flakey, or stiff. Pick from six shades.
Packing cubes with compression zippers…
Each of the cubes included in this seven-piece set has a handle for easy packing and removal, and a second compression zipper that’ll save you more space. They’re also easy to wipe clean and dry quickly.
Whitening strips for sensitive teeth…
These whitening strips are peroxide-free, so you don’t have to deal with the dreaded post-whitening pain. Our Senior Writer tried them and can confirm her teeth were brighter and whiter in just a few uses.
A genius upgrade to dry shampoo…
Batiste just made the dry shampoo I’ve been waiting for: one that’s sweat-activated. Spray it into your roots and rub it in before a workout, and it'll absorb oil and release fragrance as you sweat. Buying one to keep in my gym bag at all times.
A hair-care bundle for thick, strong hair…
Viviscal is another one of those hair-care brands that’s worth its hype. This bundle comes with its Thickening Shampoo and Hair Thickening Serum. The shampoo will gently cleanse, while stimulating your scalp, and the serum itself is lightweight, yet volume-boosting. Apply the serum after washing your hair; you don’t have to wash it out.
Some inserts to make wearing heels more pleasant…
Place these cushions towards the toe area of your heels and they’ll provide more support to the balls of your feet. They’re made of a hypoallergenic gel that’s safe for sensitive skin, and you can remove them and reuse them when you’re done.
A wrist brace you can use multiple ways…
While this brace is designed for those with carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, and tendonitis, our team is into it for weight-lifting. It’ll help prevent your hands from blistering and callusing, and can provide additional nonslip support.
An editor-approved tote to hold all your hobbies…
Lands’ End’s iconic Pocket Canvas Tote is my tote of choice. It has multiple pockets and compartments to keep things organized without having to put everything in pouches. But what I like most is that it’s sturdy without being stiff. You can use it to house your crafts and analog hobbies, for farmer’s market runs and errands, or for commuting. It’s become my everyday bag, and now, you can snag it at Amazon.
A new crafting activity book…
This is journaling extraordinaire, Martina Calvi’s, latest book. Craft & Create is part coloring book, part junk-journaling guide book. Inside, you’ll find pages to color in and cut out, and there’s even an exclusive sticker sheet in the back. It’s perfect for those pockets of time when you want to get off your phone.
The cozy chair that’s been sitting in my cart for months…
I’ve been eyeing this giant chenille chair for months now. It’s somewhere between a reading chair and a loveseat, and it’s one of those pieces that’s begging for you to read a book on it. Shoutout to its under-$400 price point.
Some moisannite hoops that look like Dorsey…
I love Dorsey’s chic latchback earrings, but it’s hard to justify spending over $200 on jewelry right now. This style looks eerily similar and comes in a variety of metal finishes and sizes. If your ears are sensitive, don’t fret. They’re hypoallergenic.
A cheaper alternative to SkinCeuticals…
The minute I saw that Maelove made a dupe for SkinCeutical’s cult-favorite C E Ferulic Serum at a fraction of the cost, I knew I needed to try it. Unlike SkinCeuticals, Maelove’s The Glow Maker has a watery texture (I find that SkinCeuticals’ version feels oily), along with a calming complex of aloe and hyaluronic acid for sensitive skin. Because I struggle with eczema and perioral dermatitis, I was looking for an antioxidant serum with vitamin C that is potent and effective, but wouldn’t irritate my skin. This one is just that, with the same concentration of ingredients (and it doesn’t exceed $40).
