Amazon Buys So Nice, I Bought Them Twice
Maybe it’s just me, but I find Amazon’s “Buy Again” suggestion page funny. How often do you think I’m buying AirPods or decorative lamps? But there are definitely some things on Amazon I have purchased more than once. And some of them I would buy another of! With Prime Days, I’m sharing some of my favorite, multiple-purchased items.

MEROKEETY casual tie-waist dress with pockets: I would buy this dress in every color and print. It is super cute and flattering. It is also a dress I would see on many a listicle. It sat on my favorites list for a long time, but I think after the first time I wore it I bought it in another color. I wear it to work, I wear it out, I wear it anywhere.
BLEVONH and Ekouaer Skorts with Pockets: For a reason I don’t know, for the longest I didn’t like skorts. Now, for the past two summers, they’ve been the staple of my workplace wardrobe. I’m lucky in that my workplace has a relaxed dress code, so I can wear skorts with tees or sleeveless tops. I’ve never shied away from the fact that I’m a bigger girl, and having the shorts under the skirt part is perfect for preventing dreaded chub rub. The shorts also feature a pocket that fits a cell phone.
Mathtoxyz bead organizer: These are great for storing and organizing my seed beads. I’ve literally bought these five different times. What I like about them - besides their size - is that with the lid attached to the container I’m less likely to cause the beads to jump out and spill everywhere from opening it. Have you ever tried to clean up spilled size 11 seed beads (size 11 are tiny)? Plus, the containers have their own container so that helps with storage.
OFEEFAN plus-size crewneck smock: Honestly, I just really thought this top was really cute after I wore it the first time and bought another. I have this top in coral and gray green. It is lightweight, fits nicely, and hides my belly. But I also like how versatile it is and how I can style it for any season or occasion. Also, great price point.
Orrpally Shower wrap robe bath towel: This might be one of my favorite buys, ever. It is exactly as it says - a shower wrap that doubles as a bath towel, made of a terry cloth material. It secures with velcro, has a large pocket for any toiletries you may need to carry, and also comes with a cute matching hair wrap to dry your hair. I use this for my post-gym showers and got a second one for Christmas this year.
DRIVE collapsible car trunk organizer : So the second time I bought this was as a gift, but I would definitely recommend this trunk organizer. My Kia Forte is the first car I’ve had with a “traditional” trunk, but this trunk organizer is still a godsend. It’s easy to secure in the car and easy to move around. Also, it has a variety of compartments and pockets so you can really fill it up.
SUNNYCLUE leverback stainless steel 18k gold plated huggies and Beebeecraft 24k gold plated leverback earwires French earrings stainless steel: I use these to make earrings, but when I’m making earrings for myself, I’ll use one of these basically every single time. I have sensitive ears, and these don’t bother me at all which is a major plus. And with the Beebeecraft leverbacks, you can switch out what you have attached easily. This might be a minor thing, but you also don’t need earring backs since they’re leverbacks which is a plus. These are probably my favorite jewelry-making components.
Glide thru detangler brush by Crave: A few years ago I spent a week in the with a dead gallbladder and severe pancreatitis. This was also the year I grew my hair out. I don’t remember if my hair was up or what it was doing, but after I got home I realized some of my hair was matted which was not fun to undo. It would've been a lot easier to take care of if I had had this detangler comb. Detangling becomes pain-free with this comb, and I love using it after washing my hair. I keep one in my gym bag as well.
Kindle Paperwhite: This might seem like a strange one to include, but I’ve never felt a need to look anywhere else for an eReader ever since I first bought a Kindle and specifically the Paperwhite. I can’t recommend it enough. When I bought a new purse this year (this Dooney & Bourke that I adore in case you’re wondering), I made sure it would be something that could carry my Kindle because the lululemon belt bag I had been using was just too small. The battery life is amazing - I try to read 20 minutes a night and I’ve charged it less than ten times in the year I’ve owned this one (June 2024). And true to its name, it does give a paper vibe. Points for a library in the palm of your hand! I can’t imagine what another eReader could offer that I’d go away from the Kindle Paperwhite.
As for Prime Days, there’s not too many things I’m really looking for - but I am looking at Apple Watches because mine has needed replaced for like the last six months. I can’t make it through an eight hour work day without my watch going to less than 10% battery. But if my tie-waist dress is on sale, I might have to pick up a third.
