I think we’ve been very clear about these parts Amazon is a HUGE part of our daily purchases and deliveries. However, it’s not just me who’s stuck in our household, I think it’s fair to say that Shawn could have more packages popping up from Amazon on a more regular basis than I do.
Again, Shawn collects all his recent favorite finds and writes about them [yes, in his own words] about why he trusts you [or your guy] will love them too. Feel free to use this post as a gift guide for Father’s Day, Birthdays, or simply send this to your man so he knows he might want to see this post because his own interests. But whatever you do, just be warned that Amazon purchases may happen during the time of this post. [If you missed his first post, here you go!] And now, for a man’s favorite Amazon purchase in no particular order…
Right, they are brand crocs. No, you won’t care because of how comfortable they are. I have had many pairs like this over the past 10 years, and wear them constantly in the summer. They hold up really well, can get wet, dirty, muddy, you name it… and with a quick wash or maybe a washing machine session, come back instantly like new.
I recently found this brand Gradual on Amazon and was impressed with their quality and even more at their price point. Under $20 for one or under $30 for two, these shorts not only is a great length for me, not too long and not too short (buy medium and me 5’8)…but also, zip pocket. Uncommon in gym shorts, but very appreciated when you don’t want your phone or wallet to slip out of your pocket while sitting down.
Once again, this Gradual branding on Amazon has made an impression. Under $15 for good quality, dry-fit shirt Match is not easy to find. Like many people (I suppose), once I’ve found something I like, I usually buy it in as many color variations as I can. So I have several of these shirts, wear them regularly and am very pleased with how they hold and fit. Pair them with the shorts above and you’re ready to exercise, walk, mow or do whatever you want.
Full disclosure that I have ordered this and am waiting for it to arrive, however, it gets great reviews and as a single garage floor cleaning system I am looking forward to giving it a try. Having all the floor attachments and a shelf to keep them organized on the wall saves a lot of space currently occupied by older, individual brooms.
We were very lucky with our latest conversion to The doorbell rings. We’ve had Nest doorbells in the past, but we experienced significant delays with the Nest from the moment the doorbell rang until it sounded on our phone. It’s no longer a problem after switching to Ring! Whether it’s a delivery man who drops a package and wants to confirm that they are in the right place, or a neighbor who stops by to ask who plants a field next door (welcome to life in midwest), Ring offers great peace of mind when you’re home or away. Installation is as simple in the wired version as we have, but they also offer wireless with a rechargeable battery making installation as easy as two screws and connecting to your wifi.
The Traeger Grill One of the best gifts I have received so far! Just fill up the wood pellets, set it to the temperature you want and return when done. We have bacon, ribs, wings, bacon-wrapped jalapeños, mac and cheese, buffalo chicken dip, you can name it. Our most recent favorites are bacon and bacon on weekend mornings. Traeger has an app for download with thousands of free recipes, providing precise ingredients and step-by-step instructions for just about any dish you can think of. I believe it comes with a spiral cookbook with a ton of stuff, but don’t quote me on that. Either way, Traeger and a free app are both great and won’t let you down!
You might think, a electric washing machine out of Amazon? I say why not, it’s actually the first time I’ve used most of the things I don’t need right away (though they’re not too far from immediate). A few weeks ago, my beloved old electric washing machine kept shutting down while in the process of cleaning and I knew it was time for an upgrade. A friend bought this before, and after his positive review, I thought I’d give it a try. For the price, it offers great capacity and flow, and I didn’t experience any of the refilling downtimes I experienced with my old one. Quick and easy to assemble, it comes with everything you need except gas. I used it for a few hours the other weekend to finish my project and there was a significant improvement over my older and now broken washing machine.
If you’re washing decks, yards, driveways, etc., this will cut your time at least in half, possibly more. I’m on the second one after my father-in-law used the first and wanted to keep it for himself. If you have an electric washing machine, I highly recommend it this attachment because it’s worth every dollar and then some to save time (and your back).
[true to size, size up for a looser fit]
I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again. This is the best way for your money swimming trunks out there! This is the new version, the material is much softer with stretch and very comfortable. *Disclaimer: Be careful with lighter colors (at least blue)… that color may become too transparent after being in water. I recommend choosing darker colors or patterns as we had no problems with those!
If you’re looking to up your Apple Watch game, This group organized very well for me for quite some time. Personally, I like that the inside is rubber so it can be cleaned up a bit on a full leather strap. They offer a ton of colors and styles, and for under $20, it’s a great alternative to the standard Apple Watch strap.
On the subject of Apple Watch and technology, I’ve got some of these phone/watch/airpods chargers and this seems to be the first one Has lasted a while and will charge all items quickly and fully. There is a light indicating that charging can be turned on or off. After over a year of use, this is still going strong!
I drink a significant amount of water every day and really don’t like the disposable plastic bottles, nor do they hold enough water for my liking. This bottle Available in several colors and sizes, and on the outside of the flap there are no moving parts that can break over time. The carry-on wristband is a big plus so you don’t have to go all out when you’re carrying 35 different things in or out of the car, the office, or anywhere we all carry too much stuff. but still want to stay hydrated. For under $10, you can’t beat it.
Erin had me this hot sauce as a gift last year, and as a connoisseur of sauces, I really enjoyed using each. I’ve learned to like some varieties better than others and there are a few I’d rather buy a larger bottle for myself. A unique gift if there is someone in your life who loves hot sauce!
I said it for the last time and still mean it. I used to be extremely disdainful of hanging anything on the wall. Hang a picture with a single nail? Didn’t like it, but it’s acceptable. Suspended by two nails? Forget. Anytime this happens, trying to make sure the nails are spaced the right distance, making sure they’re flat and in place is the worst thing to do. Last year, I knew there was going to be some wall hanging so I thought I’d give this tool a try, because anything has to be better than a tape measure and tape measure. This Never Measure tool is legal. It’s plastic so you have to be careful, but so far I’ve hung dozens of things and have had no quality issues. Do I like hanging things now? Incorrect. But, it’s very comfortable and easier than ever.. No measuring, no need to balance, you just need to extend the arms to the desired length for each hook on your painting, locking the wings. hand in place, move it to where you want the wall and nail it in. As easy as that.
Last but not least, mine dear Amazon pens. Not much to say even after almost a year of using them. They write well, are durable, very cheap, and come in 18 in a pack for less than $8, so you can lose them continuously without breaking a sweat!
LIY founder and creator, Erin has turned her dream of a hobby blog into a full-time career that she now runs with the LIY team! When not in front of her computer screen [with a La Croix or wine in hand] or standing in front of a mirror for a selfie, you can see Erin spending time out on the water, cuddling with her two kids and her husband is most likely watching the latest Shark Tank episode or getting lost on an easy beach. read.
