The 75 Best Amazon Purchases of 2023

I have a confession to make — I do A LOT of shopping online. Outside of groceries, it is very rare that I will physically go into a store to purchase an item. And, by no surprise, Amazon wins the top spot on my list of online retailers by a landslide.

I have ordered everything from home essentials to clothing to school supplies and toys via my favorite Amazon app. With all this purchasing experience, I’ve discovered some really fantastic products.

Whether you are looking for something in particular or just have a holiday giftcard burning a hole in your pocket, I’ve compiled a list of the best Amazon purchases in 2023 to help you select your next delivery.
