I know this is nothing new to anyone, but mr clean magic eraser things! My son just drew with a bic all over my countertops. I scrubbed, tried everything I could think of. Barely made a dent. My husband grabbed one of those and it came right off. I want to kiss whoever invented those.
-
Oh! I thought of another one....
Aveda hand relief.
-
Instant pot is changing my life...
Also second designer jeans, tula, and whipable changing pad.
I would add la creuset stretch ovens, and we just got a clek fllo and while i can't believe how much we spent on that car seat the install is amazing, and because we don't have a car that makes a huge difference.
-
Several of mine have already been mentioned but:
Kitchen:
Staub dutch ovens (blows Le Creuset out of the water)
Barkeeper's Friend - for scrubbing pots and pans and sinks
All-Clad cookware
Mariage Frères teasKids/Baby:
AA products - we have swaddles, dream blankets, bibs, sheets, I love them all!
Bugaboo stroller - ours just hit it's 3rd birthday and is still perfect!
Baby Bjorn products - the travel crib, bibs, potty, etc. All very well thought out, functional, attractive and worth the price (not as big a fan of the carriers).
Stokke Tripp Trapp
Hanna Andersson - for me and the kids, wish I could buy it more frequently!
Petit Bateau clothing - obsessed!Beauty/Style:
Frye boots
Diorshow Mascara
Urban Decay Naked 2 palette
Cosabella bras
Hanky Panky panties -
@Canoli: Third for the Ninja. I love making my own iced coffee this summer.
Manic erasers, yes! Especially when pregnant.
Designer jeans
I guess I don't pay attention to advertising too much because that's all I think of.
-
Oh, no one knows they exist but I love my Bosch mixer. I chose it specifically over a kitchen aid.
-
@oskarsmommy: @brownepiano: this thread just paid off with the erasers lol
-
I think the only thing that I've had to eat my words over has been our pool cleaning robot. I was sooooo mad when my husband unpacked it, but seriously, the time savings is amazing.
I also really like Kumon workbooks, particularly the ones for cutting, folding and mazes. They're colorful, engaging and my son loves them and asks for them.
-
I was just thinking and I love Oxi clean spray stain remover. That shit gets every stain out!
-
I second Frye boots! Timeless style and quality that will last decades.
-
@lamariniere:
gonna try the tea! Super into tea lately.
Agreed on bar keepers friend
Curious about staub! I inherited my mothers Le crueset, and it's alright - just durable I guess.
Also, after this thread, I am def gonna try that doirshow! -
@lamariniere: I was going to add my list....but it's identical to yours. Great minds
-
@oskarsmommy: I also have a smaller Le Creuset dutch oven and use it for certain thing but the Staub is even better (and mine is a beast, it's huge and heavy). It's all about the lid, the underside of it has these bumpy nodules that help self-baste your food. It's also even more robust/durable than a Le Creuset. Basically Staub copied Le Creuset and made it even better.

For LO:
*Learning Tower
*Bob Running Stroller
*Maclaren Umbrella Stroller
*Livie and Luca shoes
*June and January tights
*Clek Fllo-LO loves it so much more than her old Britax.Kitchen:
*Le Creuset dutch oven
*KitchenAid mixer
* I really hope All Clad lives up to the hype, because I hate, hate, hate my Calphalon. It's on the "to be replaced" list, big time.Other:
*SAXX men's underwear. I bought some for a gift for DH, and he's only had one chafing/yeast incident since.
*bkr water bottle. I went through so many crappy ones this summer before I found this one that I loved.
*Keens shoes. I adore them and pretty much regret every time I take a different brand somewhere (see: my feet, after a week in London)I'm big-time of the opinion that I'd rather have a few nice pieces if they're going to last. Looking forward to reading through this thread!
-
@maddyz: we love our Fllo! It is so much better for LO than our Britax was. She loves it! And YES to the Instant Pot. That thing is amazing!!!
-
I adore this post!
My list is small:
Pureology shampoo/conditioner
Bare Minerals
Essie Gel Setter
A+A Dream Blanket and burp clothes
Clarsonic
OPI Nail Envy (freaking AMAZING!)I'm not a cook so I don't have kitchen items.
And for giggles because we are from CLE, the Cavs!
-
@fancyfunction: @oskarsmommy: @Canoli: I just bought their lip balm and love it. Must try the deodorant.
@QBbride: @Autumnmama79: @gingerbebe: @lamariniere: I must be the only person ever who doesn't like/get the hype around Diorshow. Mine always runs, and I don't like it. Not sure why???
@808love: DO ITTTTTTT. I adore our Instant Pot.
-
@lamariniere: ohh ditto on my staub - love it!
-
@LovelyPlum: I have an All-Clad MC2 set, which is one of their cheaper lines. But it has held up beautifully for 7+ years and I don't foresee replacing it anytime soon. Just use a little Bar Keeper's Friend on it from time to time to keep it looking like new!
-
@Canoli: YES to OxiClean stain remover. I just found their extra large refill bottle yesterday & said heck YES, I'll take one of those! Lol!
-
I love this sara happ lip scrub. It just plumps up your lips, and brings a flush of color to them. I used it again this morning - this must be my 5 th time buying this stuff!
Also, when I lived in NYC, I used these daily and they were totally worth the $$
-
@LovelyPlum: Yes I did it. Reading up on it now so I will be ready when it comes in.
Oh and reading that organizing book about Kon Mari gave me results I have never seen before.
Also Hammer and Chisel and Shakeology. -
@ladybee: HA!! Truth.
@lamariniere: good tip, thanks!
-
@oskarsmommy: darn you and this thread
I have already ordered the Kiehl's deodorant and I just looked up the Sara Happ lip scrub and now I want that and her pricey lip gloss too!
-
@QBbride: @Autumnmama79: @lamariniere: Which Diorshow? I searched, and there are several kinds.
-
Merrell hiking boots
Dr. Bronner's Castile soap for cleaning
Carmex lip balm
Eco-tools for makeup brushes
Acure conditioners (esp the mint) -
You guys, I just went through this thread making a huge list of things I want to buy. This is bad news for my credit card.
For me:
Breville tea maker - I use this so often, makes making tea so easy. Especially great on mat leave when I usually make tea and then get distracted before I can drink it
Fresh lotus youth preserve face cream - so light and I love how it smells
Frye boots
Roots leather - purses and boots -
@Bibliolove: Dr. Bronner's for sure!
OxiClean
Tarte Blush
Levi's jeans -
I bought the Essie top coat and the Swell water bottle today thanks to this thread and both of them are changing my life. This bottle of water has been sitting on the couch next to me for 5 hours and it still has ice in it!
-
My InstantPot has been changing my life. LOVE it!
-
@erinbaderin: are swell bottles the ones at target??
-
@erinbaderin: Essie Gel Setter is amaaaaaaazing. So glad you like it!
-
@erinbaderin: I'm looking at water bottles now, too. How do you handle not being able to see inside and tell how much is left?
-
@erinbaderin: ditto, is it "s'well" (the designer one)?
I found one at Amazon by a company called MIRA with nearly a thousand reviews that is supposedly very similar (albeit not as pretty) and am considering...
I know I'm a bit late to the party, but here's a few more to add to the list of great products:
-Vitamix (I've used it most days for the past eight years and it's still going strong!)
-CSA (community supported agriculture) veggies and fruits. We get locally grown produce every week in the summer and it is soooo delicious.
-My publisher photo books. I used them to print a wedding album and a father's day photo book for my dad, and they turned out spectacularly
-Origins plantscription eye cream
-Superior 900 gram Egyptian cotton towel set (from Amazon) - softest, most plush towels ever, they've held up really well too...
-Wool dryer balls with a drop of lavender oil - basic, I know, but I love how soft and wonderful smelling our laundry is after using these. -
@ladybee @periwinklebee: We don't have Target so I'm not sure - it is the S'well one, I got mine at Indigo.
@pregnantbee: It never even occurred to me - it doesn't really bother me. I get a sense of how much is left by how heavy it is, I guess.
-
@erinbaderin: Thank you!
-
Le Creuset dutch oven
Pregnancy pillow
Aveda shampoo -
@brownepiano: oooohh, yes, I adore my Bosch mixer! My mom has had hers for years and years and got me one when I got married. It's amazing! I just don't know anyone else who has one.
