You've Never Heard Of Some Of The Best Stuff On Amazon, Such As These 39 Hidden Gems

Amazon

Few things in life get me as pumped as finding a niche item at a reasonable price. Maybe I'm alone in this, but the feeling of having someone ask "Hey — where'd you get that portable espresso maker?" (and knowing the price point is right) just fills my heart with pride. Mostly because it means I get to start talking about all the hidden gems you can find on Amazon.

And while it sometimes borders on rambling once you get me started — I'm truly just helping everyone out by introducing them to the best hidden gems on Amazon. From a microfiber towel that reduces frizz in your hair to a set of self-watering planters that's under $20, there are tons of available products that will make your life easier without breaking the bank. And for two — it's literally my job. I actually look forward to perusing the virtual aisles at Amazon so that I can share all my new discoveries with you fine people.

Somewhat ironically, it appears I've started rambling here as well. So rather than tell you about the silicone bakeware set I've included, or even about the bath bombs made with essential oils, I'll just let you discover all these awesome Amazon products for yourself.

1

The Hydrating Face Cream Made With Argan And Pomegranate Oil

Not only is it completely cruelty-free as well as absent of any GMOs or gluten, but this face cream is also vegan. The Moroccan argan oil in this face cream gives your skin a moisturizing boost of hydration, and the added vitamin C leaves your complexion glowing. There's also pomegranate in the formula which delivers a variety of nourishing antioxidants to your skin, and one Amazon reviewer wrote that it "absorbs quickly and wears well under foundation."

2

A Pop-Up Pee Pad That Gives Your Pet Something To Aim For

Not all pets do well with indoor pee pads, so try using this pop-up one shaped like a fire hydrant instead. The pop-up fire hydrant gives your dogs a target to aim for, and it's situated in the center of the pad so that it's highly unlikely they'll get any urine on the floor. The pad itself features five layers of protection as well as a leak-proof backing, and it's able to hold at least 4 cups of fluid.

3

Designed to work on both men and women, this razor bump brush easily gets rid of ingrown hairs from your face, neck, armpits, legs, and bikini areas. Just condition your skin with warm water so that your pores open up, then gently use this brush on your skin in a circular motion. It's made from odorless silicone that's soft on your skin as well as antibacterial, and the ergonomically-designed handle gives you a firm grip while you bathe.

4

A Pair Of Flashlights That Are Made For Jogging, Camping, And More

Unlike traditional flashlights that don't fit comfortably into your hands while you're jogging, these flashlights are designed to fit into your hands like handles — which makes them great for exercising, walking the dog, hiking, camping, and more. These flashlights are made with non-slip adjustable straps so that one size fits all, plus there are three modes to choose from: high, low, and a blinking strobe. As an added bonus, not only are they waterproof, but batteries are also included with each order.

5

The Whiteboard That Sticks To Your Wall Without Any Tools Required

Regular whiteboards require you to mount them into the wall, whereas this whiteboard easily clings to any smooth surface without any tools required for installation. You can write on this whiteboard using any dry erase marker — one comes included with each order — as well as a pair of Velcro dots you can use to attach it to the wall. You also get a microfiber cloth you can use to wipe it clean, plus you can easily re-position it as many times as you like.

6

A Pack Of Loofahs Infused With Bamboo Charcoal

Bamboo regrows at an incredibly quick pace — which also means that these loofahs are eco-friendly. The attached loop allows you to hang them anywhere, and one reviewer wrote: "The 4 pack should last me about 8 to 10 months. Really sturdy but soft enough not to scratch the skin. I love these things."

7

It's stain-resistant as well as BPA-free, plus there are measurement markings on the side so you can keep track of how much you've poured.
