Everything Our Editors Bought and Loved this Month

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

Our editors are not ones to make New Year's resolutions to stop online shopping. What can we say? We know ourselves too well. The good news is that our wallets' losses are your gains, friends, because we're here to share all of our shopping wins with you. Collectively, we did a lot of shopping on Amazon this past month, and while not everything we bought was a winner, our editors have a few finds that we think you're going to love. From repurchases we make with embarrassing frequency to new discoveries that we just have to share with all of you (hello, cheese vault!), these are the Amazon purchases we made this month and totally recommend.

Good Grips Cleaning Brush for Electronics

"Though I enjoy snacking at my desk while working (hello, food editor here), I don’t much care for the inevitable gross crumbs, or occasional keyboard-breaking chaos they cause (it’s happened). But this silicone brush has changed all that. Now even if I happen to be taste-testing a new cookie recipe I can drag this little guy over the keys when I’m done, and my keyboard is good as new."

—Christopher Michel, Senior Food & Gardens Editor

Outdoor Chair

"I’m slowly amassing a collection of these chairs and just added to my inventory. I love that they look retro but sit sturdy. We keep a pair in our trunk for the spring soccer-game circuit but they also come in handy for backyard movie nights and impromptu neighborhood socializing. I love the Sea Island colorway, but the crisp green-and-white combo is also grabbing my eye as of late."

—Rachel Barrett, Editor In Chief

Cheese Vault with Divider

"My mother-in-law recently gave me this cheese vault, and I say without exaggeration that it has changed (nay, REVOLUTIONIZED) my relationship with my refrigerator deli drawer, so I've been buying them for the other cheese aficionados in my life. No longer do I have an excess amount of mystery wedges of partially eaten cheese blocks wrapped in foil that I’ll never remember to use. Now, they’re all in one place, and the vault's easy-to-move dividers keep the flavors from mingling. Added bonus: I don't even have to wrap the cheese hunks in foil for them to keep!"

—Sarah Zlotnick, Lifestyle Director

Cold Brew Mason Jar Coffee Maker

"As a year-round iced coffee person, I love how easy this is to use. The mesh is superfine and easy to clean, and the jar itself can go right in the dishwasher. The only down side (which is my own fault) is that I should have purchased a bigger size!"

—Beth Branch, Editorial Assistant

Single Use Camera with Flash

"In an attempt to keep those annoying 'your storage is full' notifications at bay in 2023, I recently started carrying disposable cameras with me. I love this one that shoots exclusively in black and white because it makes my prints look retro and cool without me having to do a whole lot."

—Anna Logan, Senior Homes & Style Editor

Pillow

"I've had my eye on the highly rated (we're talking 15.6k four-star reviews) trtl Travel Pillow for weeks now. I finally purchased after reading yet another list that said this pillow is the all-time best. Well, after a quick nap test, I can confirm this is the holy grail for side-sleepers like me. The pillow—which is actually more like a scarf with a built-in padded brace—is perfect for people who want the leg room of an aisle seat but the head support offered only (until now) by a window seat. The brace comfortably cradled my head and I was able to snooze soundly in the dreaded upright position. I can't wait to take it on my trip to Europe in a few weeks. 10/10 would recommend!"

—Anna Logan, Senior Homes & Style Editor

Brass Key Chain Ring

"I've been keeping my car keys, house keys, and a small wallet corralled on one of these rings. The screw clasp gives me the peace of mind that everything is secured, but it's also easy to undo when I need to add or subtract an item. No more destroying my fingernails on pesky coiled key rings!"

—Emma Gray Pitt, Deputy Art Director

Reusable Grocery Bags

"Like most people I know, I had an unkempt collection of standard reusable shopping bags that I amassed over the years and kept in various states of disrepair. However, I recently upgraded to this sleek collection. I love that they stand up on their own when I'm filling them at the grocery store and then easily fold down when not in use. I'm not suggesting you throw out all of your reusable bags (that's counterproductive!), but if you have a few whose handles have succumbed to a heavy gallon of milk, these are definitely a sturdier and longer-lasting replacement."

—Emma Gray Pitt, Deputy Art Director

18-Pack Zipper Mesh Pouch

"Repeat purchase alert. These zipper pouches are saving my mom-of-small-children sanity! My favorite use so far? Toss bulky game boxes and instead store them in these sleek pouches that take up half the space."

—Maribeth Jones, Design Director

Cabbage Dinner Plates

"These were a bit of a splurge but I love how they're versatile white plates without being boring thanks to that pretty silhouette and textured detailing. They've also proven quite sturdy, which is always a plus when you're a parent."

—Rachel Barrett, Editor In Chief

Plant Stand

"I developed a bit of a houseplant habit over the past few years, and my collection was threatening to take over our sunroom. My teenage son got me this plant stand for Christmas and awarded himself 'gift-giving rookie of the year' for his efforts. The easy-to-assemble shelf holds 10 large plants and holds up to 150 pounds—plenty of room for my plants to thrive!"

—Katie Bowlby, Digital Director

Women's Joggers

"This winter, I found myself in need of a loungewear upgrade. I ordered this three pack of joggers based on the reviews alone and haven’t taken them off since they arrived. They’re super-soft, lightweight, and comfy (plus, pockets!). Also, as a shorter person, I was happy to find that they’re not too long on me like most joggers. Choose from 12 different color combinations, from basic black to fun tie dyes. (Some colors are available in sizes small to 3x.)"

—Katie Bowlby, Digital Director

Silicone Reusable Storage Bag

"I’ve been on a mission to eliminate plastic from our house. One of the worst offenders were Ziploc bags. While glass storage containers are great I still needed a variety of bags. These two products have made all the difference. We also like these. I will confess I still have some Ziplocs floating around in the drawer, but not for long!"

—Becky Stayner, Staff Photographer

Merino Wool Graduated Compression Socks

"My other life-saver find are these great compression socks. I’m probably the only person on staff that needs them, on my feet most days standing on a cement floor. These socks are all I want to wear to work. Can we please bring back knee socks with shorts?"

—Becky Stayner, Staff Photographer

High Waisted 7/8 Leggings

"I consider myself an Amazon leggings collector at this point and these are by far the best I've ever tried. They are thick enough to feel substantial but also buttery soft. I also love that they don't have a waistband that digs in! I've already gotten them in two colors and I'm on the hunt for the next."

—Hannah Jones, Commerce Editor

ProMist MAX Microfiber Spray Mop

"I am so sick of buying disposable mop pads that seem to over-wet my floors at the beginning of mopping and have no solution left on them by the end. This spray mop has a reusable pad that can be washed up to 100 times, aka it's better for the environment and my wallet."

—Hannah Jones, Commerce Editor

Stainless Steel Pet ID Tags

"I just got a new puppy and got him this tag. I like these because the lettering is really dark so it's easy to read."

–Charlyne Mattox, Food and Crafts Director
