This comes as no surprise to most who know me, I have a toxic relationship with the “add to cart” button, especially on Amazon. And, well, eBay. I’m pretty sure that if UPS went a week without dropping by my house, they would call the police to do a welfare check.

Here are my top 5 favorite Amazon picks for the month of July:

This bad boy rolls in with a hot-water mop wash, hot-air drying, auto-emptying dock, and even a mop-lift feature for carpets. It delivers up to 11,000 Pa suction, extension mop pads, plus an app so detailed you can micromanage your floors from bed- bless modern ADHD conveniences.

Why it made the cut: I have ALWAYS wanted a robot vacuum, but shied away after seeing other people with pets having nightmares with theirs (think dog poop). Seeing that there were robots that mopped now too, made me research, ESPECIALLY after getting my carpet replaced with LVP and realizing just how much my dogs really do shed.

Real-life vibe: Get up to vacuumed and mopped floors every morning, total game changer!

Who it’s for: Moms, messy cooks, pet owners, and anyone whose “clean” energy lasts about five minutes. Fantastic for ADHD brains: set it, forget it, forget to empty trash—because it does that for you.

This thing is like giving your cleaning routine a shot of espresso and a gym membership. It scrubs tubs, sinks, grout, tile, and even baseboards without you having to contort like you’re auditioning for Cirque du Soleil. Rechargeable, cordless, and comes with multiple heads—because sometimes you need soft and gentle, and sometimes you need aggressive exfoliation for your tub’s sins.

Why it made the cut: I’m not above admitting that cleaning the shower (and gross refrigerator shelves) used to be a battle I frequently lost. But this bad boy? It lets me stand up straight, feel mildly powerful, and knock out mildew in minutes. It’s like the grown-up version of a toy lightsaber—except it fights grime instead of Sith lords.

Real-life vibe: Plug it in, pick your poison (scrubber head), and channel your inner chaos cleaner. Add a little music and bam, you’re in a “Cleans Just Like the TikTok Girlies” montage.

Who it’s for: ADHD cleaners, cleaning avoiders, tired knees, people with back pain, and anyone who’s ever looked at their tub and whispered, “not today.” Honestly? Worth it for the baseboards alone.

The tiny metal lifesavers I never knew I needed.

These little aluminum canisters are waterproof, pocket-sized, and come with their own carabiners—so you can clip one to your keys, bag, lanyard, dog leash, child, whatever. I keep a couple stocked for myself when I’m traveling and for Kyle, who sometimes… forgets that meds don’t work unless you take them (shocking, I know).

Why it made the cut: Because my brain is like a browser with 36 tabs open and 3 playing music I can’t find. These let me prep ahead, stash what we need, and keep us both functional(ish) no matter where we are. And with 10 of them in a pack? I can afford to lose a couple to the laundry gremlins and still have backups.

Real-life vibe: I’ve got one on my keys, one in my purse, one clipped to Kyle’s backpack, one rolling around in the car cupholder, and one hanging out in the medicine drawer like a backup dancer. No more “Mom I forgot…” on a field trip or “Crap, did I bring my meds to Providence?”

Who it’s for: Busy parents, ADHDers, travelers, chronically forgetful teens, and anyone who’s tired of hauling around the giant plastic weekly pill tray like it’s a mini tackle box. These are discreet, durable, and don’t rattle around like a maraca in your purse.

Number 4: Replacement Range Hood Filters

Because apparently you’re not supposed to just pretend those things don’t exist.

I am absolutely ashamed to admit that it took me 38 years to learn two things:

1. You’re supposed to clean your range hood filters. Okay, I knew they were supposed to be cleaned, I just didn’t know that I could take them out and clean them.
2. You can actually replace them. Like, with new ones. That don’t smell like decades of burnt bacon and despair.

Why it made the cut: One day I looked up while cooking and realized that gray mesh wasn’t supposed to be that… brown. A quick search later, I discovered a whole world of affordable, easy-to-swap filters that don’t require degreasing with boiling vinegar or a priest. Game. Changer.

Real-life vibe: These popped into place faster than it took me to Google the model number. My kitchen stopped smelling like expired Crisco, and the over-the-stove light actually shines through now. Magic.

Who it’s for: Anyone with a kitchen and a lingering sense of shame. New homeowners, long-time renters, people whose “deep clean” has never involved anything above eye level—no judgment, just fresh filters.

Number 5: “Love You Bye” Vintage Wall Sign

Because everyone should leave your home knowing they’re loved—whether you’re home or not.

This sweet little aluminum sign now hangs above my front door, and it might be one of my favorite things I’ve ever bought. I’ve always told my people “love you, bye” every time they walk out—and now, even if I’m not there to say it, the reminder is.

Why it made the cut: It’s the perfect blend of simple, sturdy, and sentimental. The vintage look fits right in with my slightly-chaotic-but-always-cozy aesthetic, and the message? Straight from the heart. Whether you’re sending kids off to school, guests out the door, or your partner back to the grocery store because they forgot the one thing you asked for, this sign sends them off with love.

Real-life vibe: I’ve caught people stopping to read it, smile, and softly say it back. And if that’s not the kind of energy I want in my home, I don’t know what is.

Who it’s for: Softies, sentimental mamas, empty-nesters, anyone who believes in making “I love you” a reflex, not a rarity. Perfect for hallways, mudrooms, entryways, or anywhere you want to leave a piece of your heart on the wall.

That’s all folks…

And there you have it—five things I didn’t know I needed until they showed up at my door and made my life cleaner, calmer, or just plain sweeter. From robot vacuums to tiny pill pods to the little sign that speaks when I’m not around, this month’s Amazon finds are doing the most with the least effort (just like I aspire to).
