Five Hot Amazon Items For The House

Michael Deckard Leave a comment

I went through a bunch of stuff that people are buying a lot of on Amazon right now (I am an Amazon Affiliate after all). I then made my own hot list out of it and featured them here, just to help you out.

All are items that are useful around the house (this is Blog Of The House after all).

Quickly, here are the six, maybe you can find something good for your spot:

WIBIMEN ICE CUBE TRAY

Black ice cube tray with white backgroud

It’s the hottest item on Amazon at the moment I write this. I am guessing because it looks different and it is the ice is “easy to release. And it does look like the tray makes little balls, which it cool. Check it on Amazon.

KETER CITY DECK BOX

It makes sense this storage bin is popular right now:

  • We have nice outdoor weather at the moment.
  • Pulling out toys and playing outdoor games is fun.
  • You need a place you can quickly clean up all your junk so you don’t have to look at all of it.

Check it on Amazon.

OLIGHT ARKFELD EDC FLASHLIGHT

This one is curious. Really though, not sure why this is such a hot item. It’s a little pricey but it IS bright as heck and there is a green beam element to it that means something. What that something is I do not know, but it sounds cool and it makes me want it now. Check it out on Amazon.

BLUE DIAMOND GOLD 4QT SAUTE PAN

Hella more people are into cooking at home these days, so upgrading your cooking tools, makes sense. This pan has all the things:

  • Ceramic Nonstick
  • PFAS Free
  • PFOA Free
  • Induction Suitable
  • Dishwasher Safe
  • Gold Handle

Yeah baby, that gold handle is poppin’. Check the price.

APPETIZER SERVING TRAY [ON ICE]

I have actually been wanting one of these for a long time. I just keep forgetting to pick one up. Every holiday or bbcue I have I get frustrated that I don’t have a cooling tray around for dips and cheeses and all that stuff. Time to finally buy one. Check the price on Amazon.

Okay, hope you find something worth buying. I will be back with more later.

Mother’s Day Gifts For the House

My top Mother’s Day gift ideas that are good for house-loving moms

Some simple but still thoughtful gifts for the mom in your life. It is a day I sometimes struggle with getting the right gift for mom, wife, and sister that is nice and is a little personable. So I hope these picks (that I could receive compensation from for, btw) help you find something good for the mom in your life and help me too:

1. This Kettle:

Yes, this is a pricey tea kettle (running around $190.00 at the moment). But your mom is worth expensive water-heating devices, yeah? Alright cool. If you want to go to the highest end for heating water, this is a very well liked one.

Have a look at it on Amazon.

2. This Bedside Alarm Clock:

It’s the Hatch Restore 2 sunrise alarm clock. For the moms that take their sleep seriously. Has everything a beside device needs:

  • Single button on and off, less knocking over the alarm trying to make the damn thing stop.
  • Works with smartphones – if you want it to.
  • All kinds of white noise possibilities.
  • Dimable or bright, your call – all kinds of display and lighting possibilities.
  • Looks pretty serious sitting bedside.

Check the price on Amazon ($200ish).

3. This Oprah-endorsed olive oil set:

If your mom loves Oprah Winfrey, you should know that this is Oprah’s favorite in the cooking oil genre. Enough said. No more information is needed. She is into her or not and that is why you will either click over or not. Check the price on Amazon ($150ish for a pack of four – that’s steep but you can buy smaller packs for less).

4. This set of coffee spoons:

It’s four coffee spoons made for your coffee, sugar, metamuciI (he hee) and stuff. I really like this idea because it is a good gift to give for those who don’t have the budget for buying gifts. It is $9 at the time of writing this, and yet the spoons are quality, elegant and chic. Buy it on Amazon.

5. This stone quick-drying mat for the counter

The Purpose of ‘Blog of the House’

Michael Deckard 1 Comment


Hi. This is Michael. I am the editor/creator of Blog of the House. This is a website/blog that exists to help you and me elevate the place we live with the right things.

Things that work, look good and won’t kill your budget.

I have recently come to terms with that I still buy things like I was 19 and just moved out of the house.

Really, I have grown tired of being slightly embarrassed by the dishware I have, the pans, the chair, the sheets, the battered patio umbrella, the cheap coffee maker… well, you get what I am saying.

So we are going to find things together. Figure out things together. Suggest things to each other. Share things we find. Become adults (no matter what age we are) together, by making the place we live in a little bit classier.

We want to be proud of things we have, not braggy, but proud. Less stressed. Give ourselves something to talk about with the family and guests that come over.

Hope you join me on the journey (oh geez, I hate using “journey”)… our leveling up of each other house game.
