30 crazy cool things I want from Amazon STAT!! SEPTEMBER EDITION.


It is no secret that I LOVE amazon. Seriously.  and I LOVE finding some of the fun and quirky stuff they have.   I go to amazon every day and I find one product that I would love and put it on my list. SO my end of the month round up  are the coolest, funniest, weirdest, quirkiest, unusual or most useful things that I have found every day in September.








1.  DINOSAUR TACO HOLDERS.  So we do Taco Tuesdays, and these would be freaking amazing. And how cute is that Brontosaurus??

2.THIS MULTI KITCHEN TOOL. It  is 7 different kitchen tools all in one, and they all stack together in a pretty wine bottle shape.  It's a lemon squeezer, spice grater, funnel, measuring cup, flower vase, egg separator and cheese grater all in one.!  Plus it looks so colorful and fun!

3. WELCOME MAT THAT ISNT VERY WELCOMING.  I hate when the doorbell rings.  Is it a solicitor? Is it girl scout cookies? Is it a neighbor wanting to borrow something?  Ugh, people are the worst arent they?  This is the perfect door mat for introverts!!   Made of tradition coconut coir fibers, this environmentally friendly mat  will hold up through the element and tell people how you really feel!

4. DEATH STAR TOASTER.   Welcome do the Dark Side(or light side depending on your settings).  As avid Star Wars fans, this is something we want. Extra wide slots for 2 pieces of bread,  removable crumb tray and adjustable thermostat.  Officially licensed porduct too, no knock off here! Makes a great gift (hint)

5. SUCCULENT POTS AND BAMBOO TRAY.   Small set of 6 cement pots are classy and clean, perfect for those little succulents.  How cute are these??

6.EINSTEIN HEAD MAGNETIC PAPERCLIP DISPENSER. With everyone working from home right now, my home office desk could use a little organizing.  This fun paper clip dispenser allows the creative side to arrange his hair, while keeping all your paperclips in one area.  Fun, quirky and cute for any home office!!

7. MELAMINE FRENCH BULL SPREADER SET.  Set of four 6" spreaders, for cheese, butter etc.  I LOVE the colors and patterns on these. Heavy Duty, dishwasher safe and perfect for that fun pop of color in the kitchen.

8. THE COMPLETE CALVIN AND HOBBES.  We are huge Calvin and Hobbes fans here, and at one point had most of the books. Unfortunately over the years the books have become worn, torn and with kids they were colored in and ripped.  SO it is time for a new set!  4 paperback color volumes in a sturdy slipcase, this is perfect for any personal library.

9.SHARP SHIRTER SLOTH SHOWER CURTAIN.  You had me at Sloth.  You REALLY had me at  A king Kong Sloth on the Empire State Building.  Yes, please!    Fits a standard size tub and is made with super soft waterproof polyester.


10. FLOPPY DISK RETRO SILICONE DRINK COASTERS.  As someone born in the 70s I was there as home computers made their ways into our lives. At first the floppy disks and later on hard disks were how you did EVERYTHING on computers. These retro silicone coasters are a great nostalgic reminder of how far we have come! set of 6 coasters made from flexible silicone, they will protect your tables while showing of your geeky side.

11.TIN RETRO EAT HERE SIGN.  I am a sucker for anything retro and vintage style.  I love the nostalgia it invokes, and I totally want to put this in my kitchen. inspired by the classic 50's Americana and old diners, this sign is made from tin and has been distressed to look vintage. with a keyhole for easy hanging, this is a no brainer.

12.  SHARP NOT HASTAG MUG- As a lifelong pianist I totally appreciate this mug.  Thats a sharp, not a hashtag. Musical Nerdom and anti twitter unite!  Made from ceramic and is microwave and top rack dishwasher safe!

13. PRISON MIKE MERMAID PILLOW.  I am a huge fan of the office, and when I saw this mermaid pillow I KNEW I needed to have it.   Featuring Prison Mike in sequins.  With a wave of your hand over the sequins, you can hide prison Mike and have plain color to match any room decor.   This Pillow is here to scare you straight!!


14. SRIRACHA CHILI SAUCE T-SHIRT.  Huge fan of Sriracha , and I love this T shirt.  Bold red shirt and logo will show your love of the sauce! 100% cotton, machine washable with like colors.  
  


15. CERAMIC BUNNY CUPCAKE AND CANDY STAND.  This small ceramic plate is adorable. Perfect for a few little cupcakes or candy cups, a small dish or two.  It is just so cute I cant stand it!! Handmade. NOT dishwasher safe or Microwave safe. SO handwash only (But im just going to use ot for easter decoration!)

16. SMART SPEAKER LION TABLE STAND-  I literally have an echo dot in every room of the house. But they look so plain and boring just sitting there.  I saw this and fell in love.  They have a variety of different animals, but this lion really spoke to me. Lightweight, portable and made of wood, you can use it to elevate your smart speaker without compromising sound or microphone quality!


17. CERAMIC 3D OCTOPUS MUG.  This caught my eye and I love it. Made of ceramic with a tactile 3D design, , hand wash only not for use in microwave.  But how gorgeous are those tentacles and that color??  Looks like a real octopus.

20. LE CREUSET STONEWARE HONEY POT WITH DIPPER.   I Love Le Creuset, and I love honey.  I do have a honeypot that I got in Italy, but I like it as a decorative item and need an actual honeypot.  I LOVE the look of this and that stamped bee is amazing.  The bright and sunny yellow would look great in my kitchen!

21. ROSE GOLD SET OF MERMAID HANDLE MAKEUP BRUSHES..  10 piece set of rose gold colored makeup brushes with mermaid tail handles.  I dont wear a ton of makeup, and dont really need the brushes but I LOVE rose gold and I love the look of these. I may have to replace my old set with these bad boys. I just want to squeeeeeeee....


22.  THE BRONTE SISTERS BOX SET: PENGUIN CLOTHBOUND CLASSICS.   4 greatest  works of the Bronte sisters in a lavish, clothbound, boxed set.  Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, Tenant of Wildfell Hall and Villette.   I LOVE books, especially pretty books and I Love the Bronte sisters books. This is a set I want on my bookshelf ASAP.


23. L'ABEILLE OCCITANE LAVENDER HONEY DROPS.   How gorgeous are these groumet french drops??  With winter coming I always get dry, sore throat, and these drops would be an amazing soother.  Made in Provence France, these gourmet candies have a liquid center of french lavender honey. yuuuummmmmm.

26. ROSE APOTHECARY HOODIE.   I love the show Schitt$ Creek.  David's (eww David, no) store is called Rose Apothecary and  I know they are all props etc, but if it were a real store I would shop there constantly.  I love this hoodie. Simple Rose Apothecary branding. I am obsessed.


27. SOURDOUGH BREAD KIT.  Back during the major covid 19 shut down and I was out of work, I made a sourdough starter, it is took off. I used starter in everything. All my baked goods, pancakes, rolls, everythig got a dose of sourdough starter discard.  Guess what I didnt make with my starter??  Actual sourdough bread. I saw this kit and want it.  It comes with the basket and scraper and everything you need to make sourdough bread. 

28 MILKSHAKE MAKER.   We live in Idaho, home of many dairy farms.  We have one particular dairy that has their own store with fresh milks, cheeses, curds and the best ice cream!!  I am in there several times a week buying their chocolate milk,  and pints of ice cream. (We are ice cream eaters here!!). I love a good milkshake, and I think they taste better the old fashioned way, which is what this machine does!  Plus I love the color. !


29. FALL PUMKIN DECORATIONS!  I love to decorate for holidays, and these pumkins are super cute. They will make a great tablescape on the kitchen table, or a little decoration on one of my side tables in the living room. I love the burlap and plaid. !  Lots of ideas for these pumpkins!



30. WASHINGTONS PRAYER AT VALLEY FORGE.  This artwork by Arnold Friberg is gorgeous. Perfect size for over the couch, and it is a painting I have always loved. My mom wants one as well!
