Top 6 Amazon Purchases of 2021 so far. Let’s get started!

1) LED Strip Lights: If you have kids, they probably either have LED lights in their room or they want them. We ordered these for the boys (3rd and 7th grade) and it’s basically like a party every night in their rooms.  It only took one reel to cover each room and we just cut the excess off for a clean look. They were easy to put up and have stayed well. They have been up over a month now and we haven’t had any issues with them falling or coming unstuck. I can’t speak to how easily they can be removed, but we will deal with that when the time comes.

2) Beaches Hardcover by Gray Malin: I have long been a fan of Gray Malin’s beautiful photography so when I was looking for coffee table books, I knew right away this was one of the ones I wanted.  These beach photos are probably my favorite, but I love all his work. I have few of his puzzles, but would SO love to own a large print one day.

(Note: I just realized I spelled that wrong in the picture.  Ack).

3) mDesign Rectangular Modern Metal Trash Can: I never thought a trash can would be a favorite Amazon purchase of mine, but here we are.  Never before have I owned a trash can that I was happy to have out on display.  Some reviews complained of damage during shipping, but mine arrived double boxed and dent-free!

4) Push Bubbles Pop Fidget Sensory Toy: These are actually an Easter basket item for the boys (I got two), but my oldest got a similar one in his stocking for Christmas and LOVED it.  He broke a few of the bubbles (I don’t even know how that happens), so it’s time for a replacement.  And one for his little brother too!

5) Samsung Frame TV: I know.  I know.  I did NOT understand the appeal of a Frame TV at first.  I’ll be the first to admit it’s expensive and probably unnecessary.  But wow, I love it.  When the tv is not on, it displays art of your choosing.  No longer is it just a tv on the wall, it is ART.  We change out the pictures a few times a week and it really changes the entire look of the room. If these ever on mega sale (PLEASE Amazon), I am going to get a smaller gold frame one for my office.

6) Portable 3 in 1 Charging Station: Uhh, why did it take me so long to grab one of these? This one was inexpensive, pretty and it works.  I have had it a few months now and no issues with it at all.  It’s also portable and takes up basically no space.  Get this!
