Amazon has it all, but here are a few of our favorite things. 🤩

It’s no news we’re obsessed with Amazon and their convenient, fast, and free Prime shipping – AND the endless amount of online goods you can find. However, there’s always that one purchase that sticks out among all the others, so our team is sharing a few favorite purchases from the past month.

*Note that these Amazon prices are accurate at the time of posting.


Here are some of the best things to buy on Amazon this month according to our team members:


1. Emily purchased these affordable bamboo window shades after Collin shared them.

Emily said she had been eyeing bamboo shades for a while but always found them to be quite pricey on most sites. She became really eager to get some after our Hip CEO, Collin, shared hers over on Instagram and found these on Amazon. They were the exact size she needed for the best price she had seen. Emily just installed them over the weekend and she’s so in love! We can certainly see why! 🤩

2. Emily is already prepared for Fall with this cute under $5 decor idea.

Final cost just $4.49 SHIPPED!

Emily said she skipped the Halloween decor last year but it was a huge regret and she can’t wait to break out the bats she did in 2021. She originally bought them on Etsy (which are shown above), but she lost them and ended up ordering an identical pack of 122 for under $5 on Amazon! 🤩 These are a no-brainer if you’re looking for an affordable way to get your home ready for fall.


3. Lina scooped up this beauty product for her face which gives her a dewy, tan finish.

Lina said she’s obsessed with this beauty find because it gives her a glowy sun-kissed look! She said you can either wear it alone, with your foundation, or as a highlighter. Since it’s often sold out in store, she was quick to grab it online when she spotted it in stock.

*Lina said she’s wearing the dark color.


4. Lina refreshed her dresser with these affordable drawer knobs.

Lina recently gave her dresser a glow-up and she couldn’t be happier with the finished look. She said these handles from Amazon added so much style and are such nice quality! If you’re looking for a designer look for an affordable price she highly recommends these.


5. Lina is ready for back to school with this value pack of snacks she scored on Amazon.

Classic Snack Care Package – as low as $17.26

Lina grabbed this variety pack of snacks to keep her teens stocked up any time their hungry. Which let’s be honest, is likely all the time. 😆 We recently posted a deal that was the best price we’d seen since 2021! However, it’s still a good value now if you’re in a pinch for some snacks.


6. Rachel bought this trendy motion sensor trash can.

Touchless Automatic Garbage Can$26.99 shipped

Rachel’s search for a sleek garbage can with a lid ended when she spotted this touchless automatic trash can. It’s battery-operated, opens with the wave of your hand, closes automatically and is very easy to use. It gives off smart home vibes and she absolutely loves it! 🤩


7. Soleil said this light has been a lifesaver with a newborn.

Soleil shared how these mini lights reminded her of the super pricey Hatch Nightlights (without sound). For just $15 on Amazon, she said these were a no-brainer as she’s spending lots of nights with a newborn. With the touch on the top she can easily control the light levels and it’s rechargeable. Her and her spouse both have one on their nightstands to be able to attend to the baby with a gentle, warm light to not wake him. We cannot live without them! In fact, she said even her mother-in-law tried to take one home with her. No, ma’am! 😆


8. I bought this statement acrylic purse for all of my bridal events coming up.

Pearl Acrylic Clutch Purse$32.39 shipped (regularly $35.99)

I bought this fun purse for all of my bridal events I have had recently and I wore it with a white dress for my engagement dinner. Plus, I plan to use it for my engagement party as well. I happened to receive it the day I had a birthday party for a friend and couldn’t resist using it and it received so many compliments! I also thought the strap looked a little more high-end than your usual gold chain link strap. Couldn’t be happier with it for under $35!


9. I purchased these nipple covers after hearing many of my Hip sidekicks rave about them and they really are seamless.

Our Hip CEO and founder, Collin, swears by these sticky nipple covers! She wears them with all her favorite bodysuits and has raved about them so much our Hip sidekicks Emily, Monica, and now myself have since purchased them too.

I wore them with all 3 of these outfits recently!

They’re great quality, truly are seamless, and are endlessly reusable. 🙌🏼 These are the best things to buy on Amazon if you have some outfits that require no bra!


Even though Prime Day is over, you can still score all of these deals!
