From AirPods to Stanley cups, here's what Yahoo readers added to their carts in 2024. (Amazon, Walmart, Stanley)
As much as we here at Yahoo love comparing notes about the items we tried, tested and loved all year, it's an extra-special treat to see what you, our lovely readers, went gaga for in '24. Truth is, you inspire us — and what kind of friends would we be if we kept all that intel to ourselves? No gatekeeping here!
Using our internal data, we took a walk down memory lane and identified the 25 items that wound up in the most carts. Some were no surprise, like Apple AirTags (which hit a new record-low price this year), Crest 3D Whitestrips (with over 10K-plus Amazon sales in the last month) and the Fire TV Stick (now 50% off!). Interestingly, though, most of your faves weren't from big brands — we're talking Qinlianf wall chargers, Handy Laundry dryer balls and Fab Totes clothing storage bins.
