Think you love shopping? Try being a shopping editor or writer! We're constantly on Amazon scrolling through the best deals on the most popular, top-rated products sitewide. That means our personal shopping lists are long, but we're also pretty discriminating. When it comes to editors' picks — the things we actually spend our money on — only the best of the best make the cut.
So we rounded up the No. 1 picks of 10 people from the Yahoo Life team. From pain-relieving patches and wound-healing "miracles" to hair-plumping tools and a tube of French face cream that's sold every 20 seconds, these are our favorite products of 2022. No guilty pleasures here: You can rest assured that each of these products is a smart purchase.
Dirt Devil is a leader in the vacuum category, so you shouldn't think twice about adding this affordable upright to your Amazon cart while it's on sale. It's super lightweight, has a cordless, bagless design and works on both carpet and hard floors. One shopper called this vacuum, "Small but mighty!"
Car floor looking a little crumb-y? Then it's this No. 1 bestselling car vacuum to the rescue! Weighing just 2.4 pounds, it's easy to maneuver around your ride, whether you use it to zap up pet hair from the seats, fast-food remnants on the floor or the dust blanketing your dashboard. It comes with three attachments for targeting different types of spaces and messes, and its 16-foot cord means you'll have no trouble reaching the trunk. This model even has a HEPA filter to help purify the air — and it's over 50% off.
If you're tired of your purse falling into the backseat when you have to hit the brakes, here's the fix. Use this handy between-seat mesh pouch for storing things like sunglasses, pens, protein bars — whatever you need handy. It also acts as a barrier between the front and back seats to keep pets where they ought to be.
This genius invention also stops things from falling off the center console. "If you ever put something on your console and it slides right off into the back seat, this is for you! It not only will keep things from sliding away, but it has a pocket to keep items as well."
You don't even have to fly to France to get your hands on a tube of this multitasker thanks to Amazon.
The last thing you want to do — or should do — is look at your phone while you're driving. It's an easy way to get a ticket or find yourself the perpetrator in a rear-end collision. Instead, opt for this top-rated mount (over 75% off right now) to keep your phone within view without taking your eyes off the road.
This is the absolute lowest price we've ever seen for this, and it's an incredible 75% off. What are you waiting for? The $9 you'll spend on this will be way less expensive than a distracted-driving ticket.
This sturdy organizer comes with multiple compartments and pockets for every tool, gadget, doodad, gizmo, thingamajig and whatsit you might need to carry with you. There are even adjustable dividers that make it easy to customize the size of the pockets. There are two brand promotions with the codes 0UU99WTM56BC and 30WXL1BO6O1K that knock off another 10% each.
Sure, that might not amount to the absolute lowest we've seen, but it's still one heck of a deal. If you have a messy car, consider adding this to your trunk to keep things that much tidier.
"A makeup artist told me about this French face cream, and I’ve been addicted ever since. It feels amazing on your skin, smells even better, is super-hydrating and blends beautifully with makeup. No wonder a tube is sold every 20 seconds!"
"These patches have literally changed my life. I have a bad back, but I work out hard. It's a bad combination. I often suffer from so much pain that it's difficult to fall asleep at night. I don't want to take Advil or Aleve every day, since NSAIDs can be hard on the stomach. My solution? One of these incredibly effective pain patches. The large size is perfectly suited for back pain. I can apply it either vertically or horizontally, depending on which parts of my back are suffering. It feels like it almost seals in the pain relief, and it lasts for hours! I always have a stash of these at home, and I never travel without a pack or two."
"I'm always looking for ways to give my hair more body, and Revlon's blow dryer/brush combo has been one of my best discoveries. It doesn't require nearly as much time and arm-punishing effort as blowing out my hair the traditional way. It's so easy to use, and gives me big, bouncy locks in less than 15 minutes. I spray a little dry shampoo at the roots, and I'm good to go: instant volume and shine!"
"Since WoundSeal Powder can literally mean the difference between life and death, it’s worth its weight in gold. Capable of stopping bleeding in seconds sans bandages and gauze, this stuff’s been indispensable to me, whether in surviving a bear mauling in the Yukon, a bone-deep laceration while climbing El Capitan or a knife fight on New York’s Lower East Side. I know, I know; I lead an interesting life. Here’s a genius way to help protect yours."
"I finally found the perfect pair of no-fuss everyday undies. They're super comfy, wash well, come in a multipack of assorted colors (or all black) and cost only $16 for six. Need I say more?"
"After years of bleaching, coloring and heat styling, my hair is begging for a break. This vitamin-rich shampoo does precisely that — it removes all the gunk I have left over from products I've used between washes, plus it hydrates and nourishes my brittle, exhausted hair. It's not a substitute for a heavy-duty moisturizing treatment — that's what I have my conditioner and leave-in products for — but it's super gentle on even the most fried mane."
"I am in love with these eco-friendly detergent strips. Not only are they cruelty-free, biodegradable and zero-waste, but they make laundry-time loads easier. Just pop one in and go! Plus it’s gentle on my daughter’s sensitive skin. I'll never go back to liquid or powder."
"I’m head-over-heels in love with this juicer — it makes juicing citrus fruit actually enjoyable. It gets Every. Last. Drop. out of any lemon or lime you put in there. Lemonade anyone?"
"Satina is the biggest name in leggings at Amazon, and for good reason! Its leggings are super soft and stretchy, but still opaque enough to wear with confidence. My favorite variety of Satinas are the full-length leggings with pockets — the pockets are surprisingly deep and fit my (admittedly a bit out-of-date) iPhone 8+ perfectly and securely. Heading to the gym with a couple of cards, keys and your phone will be super easy in these … and lazing around the house is just as comfy! Plus, who can beat that price, and they’re on sale pretty often. Like now!"
"Pet lovers, listen up! This little gizmo is a lifesaver for collecting fur from textiles and upholstery. About the size of a credit card, this rubber-lined tool can be run along car seats, couch cushions, even rugs (though there's a larger floor model made specifically for that) to remove Fido's fur. The rubber creates static as it rubs along the fabric, and that static collects the debris into a neat little tossable pile. Voilà!"
