I will forever be a lover of supporting small businesses and local shops, but when it comes to efficiency and price, Amazon is the site I reach for if I need a last-minute gift or a replacement for something I lost. Although I barely shop at Amazon, the list that I have curated I believe are items that one would not think they would ever need, but are seriously life-changing. 

Tomolo Rechargeable Lighter

I am a big fan of candles, but I am not a fan of going through a lot of plastic lighters to light my candles. These Tomolo lighters are life-changing because they are so easy to use, travel-friendly, and aesthetically nice to look at. I have been using these everyday to light my candles ever since I have gotten them. 

Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer

This hair dryer is getting a lot of hype online and for good reason. I have never liked blow drying my hair before I got this one from Revlon and I can see a difference with my hair after using it. It makes my hair super sleek and shiny, has multiple heat settings, and delivers a blowout-look that would cost a fortune at salons.

Warm Pals Microwavable Lavender Scented Plush Toy

These are great gifts to all of your friends. It is basically a stuffed animal that can be microwaved to be more cuddly and gives off a fresh lavender scent. These stuffed animals have great reviews and a lot of variety of cute animals, so there is definitely a stuffed animal for everyone. 

OCOOPA Rechargeable Hand Warmers

These are a must have for the winter. It is unbelievably cold outside in Michigan, but these hand warmers deliver the most comforting heat and are super travel-friendly since they are so small and fit perfectly in a coat pocket. I would recommend these if your fingers get cold easily and need a little extra warmth when you are taking a hike outside. 

 

Amazon is known for having a lot of variety and very good prices. Even though I do not shop at Amazon a lot, there is no doubt that there are a lot more hidden gems that deserve more attention and praise.
