Amazon hits and misses

Not everyone loves amazon but I’ve had some things I’ve loved and some not so much ?

Hits
Disposable face masks
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B089D14SSR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Even cheaper than when I got them, $3.07

Sometimes a disposable mask that you throw away is nice

This sweater
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NN7XL8W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I don’t buy much clothing from amazon but this one is soft. Not bad

After I say I don’t buy much clothing another good buy. I wear these quite a bit. Nice and heavy, wash up well

An influencer said that they are a lululemon dupe. Nope, they are not.

I thought I would share some some things I’ve liked. Or not. Maybe it’s a conversation starter. Any reviews of random crap you’ve bought is great.

And feel free to make fun of stupid stuff I’ve bought while staying home!

Great thread idea @deb922 ! I agree with your husband on those bars, lol.

This is timely for me- I bought a few watch bands for my Apple Watch and wish I hadn’t. One was missing a clip to attach to the watch and they look really cheap. One is metal the other a fake leather. I’ve bought the plastic ones on Amazon for tennis and lap swimming and they are great. On my phone, trouble enough typing around our bot friend so sorry no links.

I’m an Amazon fan, partly because they gave my son such a nice job, but also because they’ve been convenient and reliable. And our VISA is giving 5X reward points if used for Amazon this quarter.

Let’s see; what have I bought that isn’t just everyday practical stuff…

My new cheap webcam. I tried ordering a better one directly from Logitech but I don’t think I’ll ever see it, and there doesn’t seem to be a way to cancel an unshipped order. So I got this, which is working just fine: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085WYL2SX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_S6syFb1ZGJS7T

Screen repair tape: by.RHO 2"x105" Screen Repair Kit. 3-Layer Strong Adhesive & Waterproof Ideal for Covering up Holes and Tears Instantly. Screen Repair Tape for Window and Door Screen. Fiberglass Cloth Mesh. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GS6JEEC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_c9syFb2W7VRJG

Very nice barrette, which still works after my haircut LOL: Caravan French Hump Barrette Tortoise Shell https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0014JRRFC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_U9syFbDC61V5A

Great little fry pan; we will go to the same company when we need a bigger one: 8" Nonstick Frying Pans with Lids - Granite Skillet, Aluminum Frying Pan with APEO & PFOA-Free Stone Earth Non Stick Coating, Stir Fry Pans with Stainless Steel Ergonomic Handle, Oven Safe https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082Y6GSWD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_S-syFbCV5W8JH

And I just sent this to our son in Seattle. I was thinking ahead for the winter, but he can probably use it now, with all the smoke: Light Therapy Lamp, TaoTronics UV-Free 10000 Lux Therapy Light, Touch Control with Stepless Brightness Levels, Large Light Surface, Memory Function, Compact Size for a Happy Life https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BYSWZTD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_matyFb852XHH8

Looks silly perhaps, but I have a dark, gloomy spot in my family room… so I strung these on a “tree” to sit there and I love them

In order to be more green as well as avoid the run on paper goods due to Covid, I swear these are my favorite things ever:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016TY5TNI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Wanted some nice bowls for spaghetti but these were huge and very heavy. Sent them back. They are nice though.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016TY5TNI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Loved wearing my smartphone on our trip so I could take pictures easily.

I looveee this idea for a thread! I’ll look through my orders later to remind myself.

In the meantime if it’s not asking too much will people lable or identify your “hits” and “misses” better? If they are not labeled sometimes I can’t tell if you liked it or not.

Looking forward to clicking on these items!

The above is an inexpensive iPhone case that holds 3 cards securely. It is surprisingly nice for the price and allows me to carry my license and 2 credit cards easily. Comes in many colors, but I have the mint green that looks like Tiffany blue in person.

Got this for additional light in my sewing room. Like it a lot! Would also work in an office or next to a reading chair. Base is about 8" square, so the footprint is small.

Just saved a couple of items from previous posts! Thanks!

All my links were hits.

Packs of reading glasses. I lose them constantly, and keep a pair everywhere – car, purse, office, bed side table etc. CVS and Target etc. charge at least $15 a pair, which means I generally have close to $100 in reading glasses floating around my life. So, I really appreciate $15 for the same number of glasses and I don’t care so much about losing them etc.

Apple watch case/screen protector. This was my first attempt at having a screen protector instead of just a bumper. It was a fail. Condensation accumulated every day under the protector. I had to go back to just the bumper.

Really inexpensive sports bra and I love it.

Maybe a suggestion would be one post for hits and then make another for misses if you do both?

Hit: The tub shroom. We have a hard time with my hair clogging up drains. This things works really well.

These are all hits

D20 is very petite and her blouses and dresses have narrow shoulders that don’t fit well on regular hangers. I switched myself and DH to those black flocked hangers but they were too big for her clothes and I had no idea that they made them smaller until very recently.

I am also doing my part for the environment and have bought these for my purse and have given several sets of each for gifts - reusable straws and bamboo cutlery

Well @Marilyn you influenced me! I bought the light therapy light. It was in a lightening deal with a $10.00 off coupon. I think I got it for a little less than $26.

Well, I’m trying to decide whether the blouse I just received from Amazon is a hit or miss. It’s so warm right now, long sleeves are unpleasant and it’s not as fitted as the original blouse I have but it’s not awful either.

I guess I have 30 days to return while I ponder. At least it’s a nice light color—light grey.

@ClassicMom98 I love the idea of the tub shroom! DD and I both have long, curly hair! Sadly, we have the wrong kind of drains ?

What a fun thread. @Marilyn , I put one of the lights in my amazon bag, DS was telling me he gets gloomy in the winter, so I’m going to get one for him.

@deb922 , I really like that sweater, it looks cozy. Here are some of mine.

Hits:

  1. Love, love this blush and the price. I usually do Clinique.

  1. I thought the pattern looked cheap IRL

@deb922 - I had a $15 instant savings deal; there were so many choices but I liked the shape. My son warns not to be looking straight at it when you turn it on. Very bright!

This is what we bought for our drains in the past: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00314YBPM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
