I thought it would be fun to round up a list of repeat purchases from my Amazon history and share why each belongs in my personal hall of fame! Excluding the obvious diapers and wipes (these and these if you’re curious), here are 10 of my most reordered items on Amazon — all the items I’ve come back to again and again over the years
My most reordered items on Amazon
1. Floafers
Chances are this is not the first time you’ve heard me rave about these darling waterproof little boy loafers, but just in case it is: these are basically the only shoes our boys wear from the moment it’s warm enough in April to the day it gets too cold in October.
These waterproof loafers are adorable on and work equally well for school, the playground, the beach, birthday parties, church, the pool, summer camp — you name it, we’re wearing them. They’re comfortable, washable, and positively adorable on, and I will forever be ordering the next size up for each of our boys! (We also now have several pairs that have lasted long enough to become hand-me downs, so the quality definitely holds up to normal wear and tear.)
Also, pro tip: if you don’t already have a kids’ shoe sizer, this thing takes all the guesswork out of ordering new shoes online and saves me from the buy / return / exchange cycle every season.
2. Goop scalp scrub shampoo
I am fanatical about this scalp scrub shampoo that has a unique grainy texture that melts and suds up nicely as it gets wet. The subtle smell is actual heaven — think Tata Harper skincare vibes, in a slightly sweet, earthy way that lingers in your hair after you rinse.
I use it at least once a week year-round, but I’m especially obsessed with it for a deep clean after being in the ocean or pool.
3. Noodle & Boo baby shampoo
I’ve tried other baby and children’s shampoo brands over the years, but I always come back to this one which I hope our boys use through college. 🙂 The smell!!! It is soft, clean, and so nostalgic that it instantly transports me back to the newborn phase.
I love it so much I recently started ordering their room spray so I can make our entire nursery smell like a freshly bathed little one.
4. Magnetic blocks
Simply put, these blocks are magic.
The backstory: my friend Shelly pulled them out for a group of nine kids under 5 at Cisco Brewers on Nantucket a couple summers ago, and I watched in total awe as all 9 of them (!!!) became completely mesmerized for over an hour. I ordered two sets on the spot and can’t tell you how many times they’ve saved us going out to dinner with our kids.
They are smaller than Magnatiles (which we love but feel too cumbersome to bring out of the house) and sturdier than the mini Magnatiles (which I find less engaging for, say, a clumsy two-year-old). It does help that our four- and three-year-olds are absolutely obsessed with the show Numberblocks right now, but I’ve truly received more DMs about this product than any other I’ve shared in the last 16 years!!!
5. Amazon Essentials women’s long sleeve tee
An easy basic that punches way above its price point. I’ve ordered it in a dozen different size/color combinations over the past seven years of pregnancy, postpartum, and breastfeeding — it was a lifesaver when I didn’t want to spend a fortune on clothes while my body was constantly changing, but I just reordered my current size in the white to tuck into high-waisted jeans and the navy to wear under a vest or quilted jacket in the fall and spring.
6. Supergoop unseen suncreen
The suncreen that finally got me to wear sunscreen every day. It glides on with zero cast and doesn’t feel greasy at all. I’ve tried dozens of formulas over the years and nothing else compares — this is a true have-stopped-considering-all-alternatives repurchase for me.
7. Kids’ winter hats
You can put it on record that I will never buy another children’s winter hat besides these $13 ones. It’s fleece-lined for warmth and so cute on, and for an item that invariably disappears once or twice per winter, the price cannot be beat.
8. Kids’ socks
Speaking of items that disappear, I swear I’ve purchased hundreds of tiny socks by this stage of motherhood? These are the perfect height, have a nice grip on the bottom, and the size range makes it easy to share across kids. (Now that I’m thinking about it, I should probably just keep them all in a basket in the mudroom instead of their individual dressers, hmm).
9. Tubby Todd all over ointment
My go-to recommendation any time a mom asks about baby acne, dry skin, eczema, or basically anything that isn’t clearing up on its own. I remember how relieved I felt discovering it with our first baby and I’ve reordered faithfully ever since!
10. Magnetic marble run
One of the best mom hacks I’ve adopted is having a go-to birthday gift stocked in multiples in our front hall closet. I’ll order three or five of these any time I notice they’re on sale as they make a perfect gift for the preschool and kindergarten set.
They’re engaging, creative, and genuinely get used — our boys have been playing with theirs since around 2.5 and our 6-year-old still loves it, which in the world of children’s toys is really saying something!
