Amazon products editors use every day
Senneny Stainless Steel Straws (Pack of 5)
SEO senior editor Jess Bender likes to think she’s saving the whales with her metal straw usage. And she’s right, these stainless steel straws are reusable and eco-friendly, and they come with two cleaning brushes to help prevent them from getting moldy. And what else sets these apart? They have removable silicone tips so you won’t hit your teeth against the metal.
Dermora 24K Gold Eye Mask
Weber also loves these 24-karat gold eye masks for everyday self care. According to the brand, these masks will help alleviate puffiness, dark circles and help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Hane’s Perfect-T Short-Sleeve Shirt
Shop TODAY page Ava Schwartz can’t get enough of these affordable white T-shirts, which she says are so comfortable and you can’t see through them — a pet peeve of hers. According to the brand, that might be because they’re made of 100% ring-spun cotton.
Pavoi Gold-Plated Huggie Earrings
“I have been raving about these earrings since I bought them months ago. They really are that good!! They’re simple, chic and I haven’t taken them out once since I got them, and they haven’t tarnished or caused any irritation,” says associate editor Emma Stessman.
Dr. Scholl's Work All-Day Superior Comfort Insoles
"I have to have my insoles from Amazon in every shoe. They help me stand for long periods of time with no pain," says Shop TODAY SEO intern Domonique Tolliver.
According to the brand, these massaging insoles feature gel material and ventilation to keep your feet dry and free of aches and pains.
Aquaphor Healing Ointment
“I bought Aquaphor recently for the first time (I know, I know, I’m late to the game) and I’m a convert,” says associate social media editor Dani Musacchio. “I’m using it to heal my tattoo but it’s also been a lifesaver for my chapped lips. This seven-ounce tube will probably last me forever.”
Ursteel Initial Layered Necklace
Tolliver received this necklace as a Christmas present last year and wears it every day — and she says it hasn't tarnished. According to the brand, it's 14-karat gold-plated and can be worn alone or layered with other necklaces.
Cuisinart DCG-20BKN Coffee Grinder
Caffeine lovers, this ones for you. "I absolutely love this electric coffee grinder because it is compact, easy to clean and not too loud. I’ll never purchase pre-ground coffee again!" says Musacchio.
Warner's Easy Does It Comfort Bra
"This has by far become my favorite everyday bra! It’s nothing fancy, but lays well under legit every top/dress (especially since it’s convertible) and rivals the comfort of a sports bra," says assistant partnerships editor Lauren Witonsky.
Plus the brand says the bra is wireless and made with 20% elastane, so we will definitely take Witonsky's word on comfortability.
Moravle Space Saving Pants Hangers
Commerce writer Danielle Murphy was sent these space-saving pant hangers and loves them so much, she says she will be purchasing the ones designed for shirts. They fold to hang vertically, allowing for more clothing space on your closet rack.
LEPOTEC 30-LED Motion Sensor Cabinet Light
"In the week that I’ve installed these lights under my kitchen cupboards I can safely say that I will never go back and don’t even know how I survived so long without automated lights. I wasn’t expecting to be so quickly impressed," says commerce editor Vivien Moon. Talk about a useful life hack!
Loop Quiet Ear Plugs
After moving into a first-floor NYC apartment, I needed something to mask the sound of neighbors coming in and out of the building and street traffic. Other earplugs caused me so much pain and then I came across these lifesavers. I've worn them every single night for over a year, and I now sleep soundly and comfortably.
Burt's Bees Hand Lotion (Pack of 3)
"I’ve been using this lotion since high school and it leaves my skin feeling oh so smooth! Even better, it comes in a three-pack, so I can go months without refreshing my stash!" says SEO editorial assistant Sierra Hoger.
According to the brand, this lotion is fragrance-free and made with coconut oil, vitamin E and honey to keep dry skin hydrated for up to 24 hours.
Rowenta PurePop Handheld Steamer
"I was a stylist assistant and retail girl for years (and spent many, many hours steaming) and this tiny but mighty steamer had really impressed me. It’s got a 15-second heat-up time and is compact enough for any summer travel, weddings, etc.," says production associate Audrey Ekman.
Bedsure Heated Electric Blanket
Perfect for the current colder weather, associate editor Shannon Garlin truly uses this blanket every single day. "On weekends this blanket has me thinking: ‘Oh the weather is cold and bad?’ Good because I can lay on my couch in this and watch Harry Potter marathons."
Under Armour Heatgear High No-slip Waistband Ankle Leggings
You can never have too many pairs of leggings and for deputy editorial director Alexandra Deabler, this pair is a must. "The material never feels like it’s going to rip or pill or damage. Plus, they have a pocket, which is great for putting your phone or keys."
Vicks Personal Sinus Steam Inhaler
After deals editor Rebecca Brown got her first sinus infection, she says she bought this handy personal steamer and calls it "a game-changer." When used with Vapo Pads, the brand says a five to 15-minute treatment will help alleviate coughs, congestion and even allergy symptoms.
