It’s hard to believe it’s the end of April already! But it’s a great time to review HuffPost readers’ online shopping habits.

If March was all about cooking up healthy prepared meals that can be delivered, finding plant delivery services and making sure your phone is sanitized, April was about finally getting into the groove of social distancing.

And that meant folks did some serious online shopping — including getting their dream Dutch oven by browsing never-on-sale cookware from Le Creuset to cook up homemade meals. (The sale goes until May 11, so there’s still time to browse it for Mother’s Day gifts.)

Readers were also getting a highly rated CBD body lotion on sale at Sephora for the end of a long day of working from home, as well as buying bralettes — because real bras are canceled for now.

The HuffPost Finds team has been keeping an eye on what catches readers’ attention, and we’ve pulled together a list of some of the finds HuffPost readers were most interested in this April.

Check out what HuffPost readers couldn’t get enough of in April:
