Silicone Slap Bracelets – $11.99+

Lina said she tried the hack where you use slap bracelets to secure your rolls of wrapping paper and it worked so great! We love a great life hack and if you’re getting organized in the New Year, this is the best thing to buy on Amazon to store your Christmas stuff away until next year.


2. Bryn bought some practical trash can liners to keep her residential trash can clean.

Plasticplace 95-96 gallon Garbage Can Liners$28.59 (regularly $30.79)

Bryn bought these huge and durable liners for her residential trash can and they’ve turned out to be a total lifesaver! It’s not the most exciting buy, but it sure is practical! Those trash cans that you drag to the curb every week can get so gross especially when kids toss in half-full drinks, fast food trash, etc. Bryn loves that these liners keep the interior of the can 100% sparkly clean so she feels like she starts with a brand new trash can every week!


3. Liz bought this wall-mounted guitar holder for her son’s room.

Keebofly Guitar Wall Mount$26.99 (regularly $39.99)

Liz couldn’t be happier with this Amazon buy and said they were even sturdier than she expected and they came with everything she needed to hang them. She loves that they have a space for guitar picks and the small shelf on top is great for holding his headphones and tuner!


4. Chelsey found a princess costume for her daughter’s birthday that’s not itchy and is actually good quality.

Chelsey was looking for a princess dress with WOW quality, yet wouldn’t break the bank and this one checked off all the boxes. She said she scoured dozens of dresses on Amazon on this one was the best one to buy! As a bonus, it came with so many extras – a wand, tiara, gloves, and earrings. Happy birthday, sweet girl!


5. Lina bought her daughter the Lululemon Scuba hoodie lookalike we recently found on Amazon.

The Gym People Half Zip Long Sleeve Fleece Crop Pullover – $37.99

Lina knew she needed to grab one of these hoodies after seeing our Hip CEO, Collin, sporting this uncanny Lululemon lookalike. This is currently the best thing to buy on Amazon if you love the look of Lululemon’s Scuba Hoodie, but the $118 price tag is a deal breaker.


6. Lina bought these stylish marble coasters with Anthropologie vibes.

Dear Casa Gold Edge Coasters – Set of 6$29.99 ($5 each) 

Lina couldn’t love her new coasters more! Between the marble and the gold edges, she says they’re totally giving off Anthropologie vibes and they do a great job of protecting her furniture.


7. Lina grabbed these adorable dog sweaters for the chilly weather in Arizona.

Lina grabbed a couple of these cozy sweaters for her pups since it’s been a little chillier in Arizona this time of year. She said her short-haired dogs have been loving them and they look so cute too!


8. Lina bought this cosmetic bag that lays flat before her trip to Mexico.

While it doesn’t have the best reviews on Amazon, Lina was still excited to give this cosmetic bag a try! Turns out, it was a great purchase despite hardly any reviews and she loves that it opens flat.


9. Shane cleaned up the wires behind his TV with this cord hider.

ECHOGEAR TV Cord Hider – Set of 2 – $21.99 (regularly $11 each)

Shane said these cord hiders were relatively easy to set up and made such a huge difference in his game room. He also said while you can certainly get creative to fish the cables through the drywall, he also recommends using fish tape and extra-long HDMI cables when setting up your cord hiders.

Check out how clean his space looks now! 😍 Great job, Shane! 

Hip Tip: Shane’s cord hiders are made by the same company that made this outlet shelf we love!


10. Chelsey said these flipping holders are the best thing to buy on Amazon if you have a little one at home.

Flipping Holder – $9.99

After testing these out for the last month, Chelsey couldn’t wait to share these popular flipping holders she scooped up for her toddler. She said it’s perfect for holding pouches for kids or even juice boxes so they don’t squeeze it and spill everywhere and also gives them something firm to grip. So far so good!

SQUOOSHI Reusable Baby Food Pouches – Set of 6 – $9.98+ ($1.66 each)

In addition to her flipping holders, Chelsey also bought these reusable food pouches. She loves to make smoothies and baby food for her little guy and putting it in these pouches is so much easier and cleaner than giving him a cup. The small ones fit perfectly inside the flipping holders and it’s way cheaper than buying a pack of these refillable pouches than buying them in the store.

Hip Tip: Here’s what seasoned moms recommend buying for your baby these days.

13. Amber bought this unstuffed pouf to fill a storage void in her home.

Blue Page Unstuffed Boho Pouf – $42.99 (regularly $45.99) 

Having a place to put your feet is nice, but when you can have your pouf and store stuff in it too, it’s an extra bonus! Amber said she was looking for a pouf as a footrest to have in her living room and she loved that you can fill this one yourself. This pouf worked out perfectly since she has tons of extra seasonal and vacation blankets and little storage space in her home! A true win, win! 👏🏻


14. Alli grabbed one of these food scales while it was 50% off.

Tomiba Digital Touch Pocket Scale – $14.98

While our 50% off deal is no longer valid, this food scale is still such a great buy! It’s lightweight, easy to use, has an LED display, and you can choose from six different units of measure including liquid or solid options. It even includes a platform and scale cover for safe storage.

“I love baking and I’ve been told by so many people that having a kitchen scale is a must, but I always thought I didn’t have the space (and I didn’t want to spend the money on one). However, this kitchen scale is perfect! It easily fits in my utensil drawer and hardly takes up any room because it’s so small. It’s just the right size for me and for $7 how could I resist?” – Alli


15. I bought a Bogg Bag for summer and loved that shipping was free through Amazon.

Bogg Bag – White$89.95

Even though there are some great Bogg Bag lookalikes on the market, I have been obsessing over the real deal for a couple of years now. I was quick to scoop one up when I saw the price on Amazon drop to the regular retail price. Plus, with Amazon, you get free shipping, whereas you don’t on Bogg’s website. Although I haven’t used it for the beach or poolside yet I love all of the amazing features and I’m really impressed with the quality. I know it will come in handy so much this summer!

Hip Tip: If you’re planning a summer beach trip, make sure to keep these genius beach hacks in mind.


Take me to all things Amazon deals!
