Prime Finds from November
Wow this month is a goody! Some home decor items, some Christmas gifts & a whole wide variety of other stuff. Maybe you'll find something you've just gotta have!
blink card game
My family is crazy about this blink card game! It's a combination of speed & memory. It reminds me of spot it, which my sisters also love! This would make a great stocking stuffer. The game is super fast, but goes the speed of whoever you are playing with, so it's great for adults or kids! Plus it is currently less than $5 on amazon!
cement planter pots
My mom has been decorating her sunroom & bought these cement planters for some house plants she picked up at Lowes. They are such good quality & are pretty heavy. I love that they have a little bit of texture & they look so good on her black end tables! They are less than $25 for two, so it's a pretty good deal!
succulent planters
Another one of my mom's purchases. These succelent planters are so cute! They are about 3 inches across & the perfect size for small succelents. They come in a set of either 4 or 6.
bronzer
I've shared before about how my skin is fairly tan naturally, but that during the winter months I start to look a little greenish / olive-y. Bronzer is my best friend, not only in the winter months, but honestly year round! This stuff is drug store price with high end quality. The only thing I don't love about it is that it smells a little bit like dust when I put it on. I've heard other bloggers / influencers say they love the smell so maybe it's just me lol.
oversized color block sweater
This oversized color block sweater was a fail for me because it was WAAAAY oversized lol. I still wanted to share it because if you're taller than 4'11" it would probably be darling on you! It does come in other color options as well.
cheetah beanie
It’s starting to get pretty darn chilly so I can finally wear this super cute cheetah beanie!! The pattern is kind of blocky / geometric which I like because it’s different. Of course it has a cute little fluffy black pom on the top. This beanie does come in other colors & prints as well!
bronzer brush
The last time I ordered bronzer (shared above), I ordered this bronzer brush as well because it had super high reviews from other bloggers / influencers & I wanted to try it out. The brush I had been using is from this set & surprisingly, I actually prefer mine WAYYYY more than the brush I ordered! This one is just way too big & I didn't like that I couldn't really just stay in one area of my face because it was so big, so I actually ended up cleaning it & sending it back.
red heart sweater
It’s a little bit hard to tell with this deep rust orange sweater, but it has little knitted hearts scattered around it. I thought the simple detailing was really sweet & different than the rest of the sweaters in my closet. It definitely fits oversized, mostly just in length. This will be super cute for Valentine’s season!
black & tan striped tunic sweater
This black + tan striped oversized tunic sweater was another fail for me unfortunately. Way too big, but still super cute & soft!
plastic planter set
& yet another planter set lol! This black set comes with 5 planters in varying sizes. She said she really likes them but she wishes the tray underneath was connected.
roped plant basket
This roped plant basket is SO cute! You just set your potted plant right inside & it totally changes the look. This is a great way to add some extra texture to a room!
tv wall mount
Again, more supplies for the sunroom. My parents bought this tv wall mount to put a tv above the fireplace. They wanted to be sure it could swivel a bit to help avoid sun glares. So far it has been working perfectly! Plus, my dad said it was surprisingly easy to install.
LED light fixture
My parents are switching out all of their under cabinet lighting in their kitchen to be LED. They are waiting until the lightbulb goes out on each one & then replacing it. I think they only have one more to go thankfully because there is such a big difference. This LED light fixture is what they are replacing them with.
planner
My mom has been using this cheap planner for years & years. I've tried to get her to upgrade with no luck. She loves it because on the side is a place she can write what they are having for dinner each night. She says it makes meal planning so much easier when she can look at their activities for the day & then plan dinner around that.
poultry seasoning
My dad smoked a turkey on Thanksgiving & used this poultry seasoning. It was delicious!
replacement Christmas lights
These replacement Christmas lights kind of speak for themselves. Apparently there were quite a few bulbs burnt out when my dad went to hang the lights this year. He is thinking of switching over to LED, but hasn't quite made the plunge!
glass tumblers
I'm a big believer that you can never have too many cups, tumblers, etc. I ordered these as Christmas gifts & then ended up loving them so much that I ordered some for myself! They come in TONS of other color options, but I really liked this one just because it's simple & neutral & will easily go with anyone's style. They are 20 oz. & are glass so you know they'll be nice quality + they're dishwasher safe!
feliway cat diffuser refill
My cat sometimes has an issue with peeing places in the house that she shouldn't. That problem on top of the stresses of moving into a new house recently was all the more reason to try out this diffuser specifically designed to help with both of those things. You plug this little guy into a diffuser & place it near the location that you WANT the cat to pee. So for me, mine is plugged into the wall right next to my cat's litter box in my mudroom. They last about a month & it's super easy to buy replacements. I've been using it for about a month & a half & so far she's only had one time of peeing outside of the litter box so I'd call it a win! Also, it apparently gives off a pheromone for cats, but I can't smell anything.
crafting gingerbread house
My mom ordered this crafting gingerbread house & we made SO much fun of her for it! The thing is huge & my sisters are 16 & 18! What was she thinking?! Well apparently she is pretty smart because they have loved it!! They spend a little time coloring it every night. I can't wait to see the finished product!
kreg pocket-hole jig
I truly have no idea what this is. But apparently it's a Christmas gift for my brother. Hope he likes it lol!
UV LED nail lamp
This UV LED nail lamp is another Christmas gift & I won't say for who. But I know they are gonna love it! My sister's & I love doing manicures at home!
facial steamer
This facial steamer is a Christmas gift as well. I have been pretty intrigued by them myself!
black fringe pillow covers
Like I said above, I recently moved into a new house that I'm renting so of course I went on a little online shopping spree for some new home decor pieces! I went with a mostly neutral color scheme so that when I decorate seasonally, everything will blend in together well. I love these black fringe pillow covers! They add texture & dimension, but they're not too bold.
boho striped pillow covers
Some more pillow covers that I ordered. How fun are these?! They're a little bit boho but pretty simple at the same time so I love them! I was so surprised at the quality!
tripod wooden lamp
The layout of my living room is kind of strange. There's a corner area that doesn't really flow so I decided to turn it into a little reading corner. I bought this wooden tripod lamp to go over there to give off some more light in the evenings. Unfortunately, after putting it all together & setting it up, I found out it was too big / tall for the space so I sent it back. I'm so disappointed!
12x20 leather pillow cover
I wanted to incorporate some leather into my pillow selection just to kind of break up all of the black, white, & greys & add a pop of color that's still neutral. I love that these are a different shape than my other square pillows!
12x20 pillow inserts / 18x18 pillow inserts
These are the pillow inserts I bought for the covers I shared above! The 12x20 ones are amazing! They come super squished down but the puff up right away when you open them. I was disappointed by the 18x18 ones because they're from the same company, but nowhere near as puffy as the skinny ones. I like my pillows to be really full so I'll be sending these square ones back.
woven coasters
I feel like buying coasters is like an automatic purchase when you move into a new house or redecorate a room. I love these woven ones! They add a pop of color (even though it's another neutral) & adds texture as well.
mudroom bench
The new house I'm renting has a cute little mudroom that you walk into if you come in through the back door. It's a pretty big space & I didn't have hardly anything to fill it with so I bought this mudroom bench! I ordered it in white, but that color must be sold out because it doesn't come up as an option anymore. I still like this black color though! The baskets come with the bench which is really nice!
colorblock woven basket
Using baskets as a decor piece + store extra blankets & pillows is a go-to for me! I love how this one has white mixed in with the tan color. Just adds some more dimension & makes it different from my other baskets.
mixing pitcher
My mom ordered this mixing pitcher as hers broke & it is a replacement. If you do not have one, you totally should consider it! So nice for mixing things like Crystal Light or other drink mixes.
prayer journal
My mom said she was influenced to buy this prayer journal. It came in recently & she said it looks like it's going to be great. Just a place to help her stay focused in the coming year & help her make her faith a priority.
Live in Grace,Walk in Love- Bob Goff
My parents buy a new devotional each year to do as a family in the mornings. For 2021, they chose Live in Grace, Walk in Love. I'll ask her in a couple months to give us a review!
The Road to Character - David Brooks
The Road to Character is a Christmas gift for my brother as it was on his list!
packable coat
We orderd this packable coat as it looks like it is warm but light. I will give you a review as soon as I can! It has tons of great reviews.
mesh sneakers
I have shared these mesh sneakers several times before as they are some of my all time favorites! My sister has them as well & asked for more for Christmas.
nail polish set
My mom got me this shellac polish set for my birthday & I love it so much that I told her she should totally get it for my sisters! 22 polishes for less than $45 is such a steal for gel polish!
makeup mirror
When I moved into my apartment back in August, I purchased a new desk to serve as a vanity where I’ll do my makeup every morning. I’m loving this new area, but unfortunately there is no plug in close to it, so I needed to get a new makeup mirror. I ordered this one that runs on battery. It’s $49.99, but I think it is well worth it! The light is adjustable so you get to control how bright you want it. This is another item that I love so much I recommended to my mom as a Christmas gift for my sisters!
makeup organizer
I had seen these makeup organizers & finally convinced myself to try it out. I didn’t totally understand the point honestly. I just threw everything into a bag & called it good (obviously super high maintenance about my makeup). But since I got a new little desk / vanity for getting ready, I thought it would look really cute & I have the room so why not. & to my surprise, I actually really love it! It’s incredibly helpful for getting ready quickly — everything is right there in the open so you can grab certain things. I don’t have to worry about makeup breaking or one of my foundations leaking over everything. It manages the space very efficiently so my bottom drawer is actually completely empty, even though my makeup bag was full. A much better way to care for your makeup! Yet another Christmas gift recommendation from yours truly!
apple watch band set
Now all three Rice sisters own this set of 4 apple watch bands lol. The prices is just too good to pass up!
Fun fact about me: I CANNOT stand the feel of cardboard or the sound of it when it rubs together. YUCK!! Anybody else?
