27 Home Items That Amazon Shoppers Are Raving About Currently

Here's a sneak glimpse at what others are adding to their Amazon.com carts. (Spoiler alert: Expect to find adorable ladles, electric lunchboxes, and convenient faucet covers that make the January chill a bit more manageable.)

Amazon.com has a list of products called "Movers and Shakers," which is pretty much just fancy talk for things that are currently ~trending,~ Here are some of the most useful and loved home products on the list this week:

1. An Ototo Nessie ladle you've definitely seen around, but if you don't have a little ladle sea monster in your own kitchen, what even is the point of life? I finally folded and got one of these for my own human self and I don't know why I delayed the inevitable for so long.

Promising reviews: "Bought this just because I have other animal utensils in the kitchen that aren't obviously animals and this was just a lark on that order. But I actually used it one day and it really was a perfect size and shape ladle-wise. Could have knocked me over! It really stood on its own on the counter, blew me away. Now I use it all the time getting soup from the big cast iron pot on the stove into my delicate little soup cups!" —AvidCovidAmazon.comShopper

Price: $16.94+ (available in four styles)

2. A Dreo smart humidifier with an app that will allow you to set schedules, check water levels, and get the *exact* right mist output to suit your space. Your skin, plants, and fam are breathing a sigh of relief as you put this in your winter Amazon.com basket ASAP.

Promising review: "I got this because in the winter my throat gets super dry and it hurts so bad that I wake up several times throughout the night. Since I got this I sleep through the night and my throat doesn't hurt at all when I wake up. This was one of the best things I bought this year I love it. Very easy to put together very easy to use. The app is super cool you can turn all the lights off so that there's no light when you sleep." —Amanda Kirby

Price: $48.44+ (available in five styles)

3. A Kitchen Mama automatic can opener that'll speed up those casseroles that involve a bunch of canned veggies and cans of broth without requiring another counter-based gadget. This one works with a quick click of the button, so you can totally do other prep things while this does the opening work for you!

Promising review: "Absolutely the best can opener I have ever owned. It is so easy to use and cuts the lid off your can without any sharp edges left behind. This is much faster than doing it by hand. A must tool to have in your kitchen." —Kathy Kalemba

Price: $29.99 (available in four colors)

4. A two-piece set of Pyrex glass measuring cups because if we've learned anything from The Great British Bakeoff, it's that precise measurements are necessary to avoid soggy bottoms. These will last you forever, too, unlike the plastic measuring scoops that you're continually losing in your baking drawer.

The set features a 1-cup and a 2-cup measuring cup, both of which are safe for use in dishwashers, microwaves, and freezers. 

Promising review: "Pyrex has always been a dependable brand known for quality. These measuring cups are a good example of that dependability. The handles make it much more comfortable for handling them when they are full of hot liquids. This particular set is versatile- one is good for smaller measurements and the other works well for larger needs. It works well for a small apartment because they stack and take up very little cupboard space. Very happy with this purchase." —Jacqueline 

Price: $15.99

5. A two-pack of collapsible waterproof laundry baskets reviewers love for their sturdiness and the durable handles that make "oops, I forgot to do laundry for a week or two" a more manageable task.

Promising review: "I replaced my kids' laundry baskets with these. They are one of my new favorite purchases! They are so sturdy and stay upright. I will often have wet towels or clothes on the top of them to dry before placing them in and it stays upright under their weight. They are large and can fit at least two loads in them. I love the look of them and they are a nice thick quality which I wasn’t expecting. The best part is when I’m lugging them down two flights of stairs to the basement I can loop my arm thru the handle and carry them on my shoulders. I highly recommend them and can’t tell you the number of times I have thought about how much I love them." —Marie

Price: $14.99+ for two (available in four sizes)

6. An easy-twist chicken shredder tool to kiss the irritating two-fork method goodbye for good.

7. An extra large Christmas tree storage bag if your least favorite part of the holidays is the un-holidaying and trying to stuff your tree back into its box. No more with this handy bag! The reviews alone convinced me to ship this to my house. I'll have to find a new archenemy that isn't my taped-within-an-in-of-its-life Christmas tree box.

Promising review: "The size is perfect - it fits my 7.5-foot tree with plenty of room to spare. The durability is impressive; the material feels strong and well made, ensuring it will last for many years. What I love most is how easy it was to pack my tree away. The bag was wide enough, and the zippers are smooth, making the whole process quick and hassle free." —Grisham's

Price: $12.99+ (available in two sizes and five colors)

8. A pack of velcro outdoor faucet covers so you can protect the pipes in your home without having to mess with the traditional styrofoam disasters we've all cursed when installing.

Promising review: "These hangers have a thin design, meaning you can fit more clothing into your closet. They are nonslip. They are sturdy but lightweight, enough not to weigh down your closet rod.

10. A Crock-Pot electric lunchbox because this is 2025 and you DESERVE a hot lunch whenever, wherever you want it. Just plug it in for an hour or two before lunchtime, and you'll have a delicious meal from home instead of whatever the cafeteria/drive-thru/brown bag is offering.

Promising review: "I'm an aircraft mechanic and I don't always get hot lunch meals at work. This ended that! Quality construction, awesome color, works awesome!

Takes about an hour and a half to heat once I pull the bowl out of my cooler and plug in the crackpot, making it the perfect hot lunch remedy." —RJ

Price: $29.99 (available in four colors)

11. A veggie chopper you'll wonder how you ever survived without because meal prep seems far less daunting when you can simply squish your veggies into cubes in one fell swoop instead of, you know, fumbling around with your knife skills for a while.

Promising review: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper, which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food, and it has a generous container." —Amazon.com Customer

Price: $23.99+ (available in five sizes and four colors)

12. A set of rug pad grippers because slip and slides are for outdoor heat waves in the grass, not in your house when you're on the way to grab a midnight snack.

Promising review: "I didn't want a long non-slip rug pad that I would have to align on my rugs or runners, so I came across these perfect alternatives. They work better and without the hassle! Can be removed and reapplied easily without any residue left on back of rug or floors. Sturdy, soft rubber backing act like suction cups and they don't bunch up or pull up even while vacuuming thick rugs!" —jca-ny

Price: $8.98 for a four-pack (also available in larger pack sizes)

13. A cute but hardy insulated lunchbox perfect for hauling around all your snacks and food containers. (Plus a few extras, because why not give yourself the option to have MORE treats on hand?)

It took forever to clear snow and my back would be sore afterwards. That’s not the case with this snow shovel! As a short, disabled woman, I was able to use it to clear 8 inches of snow from this season’s first snowstorm quickly and easily with 0 back pain. Definitely recommend it." —Annie H
