I Shop Amazon for a Living, and These Are My 9 Favorite Finds of 2024 So Far

Over the last six years, I’ve reported on all things shopping for Wade Review, and during that time, I’ve discovered dozens of great products that have elevated my life. This year is no different.

Both in my job and life outside of work, I’ve researched, shopped, and tested hundreds of products over the last eight months, but these nine stood out for their functionality, quality, look, or overall value—and sometimes, all of the above. These fashion, beauty, home, and kitchen finds start at $8 and here’s the best part: Everything is under $75.

KevenAnna Four-Way Stretcher Shoe Tree Set

Thanks to these shoe trees, I’ve learned that I don’t have to suffer through an uncomfortable break-in period when wearing new shoes. These handy stretchers gently extend the length and width while adding a little more wiggle room wherever you need it thanks to the included plugs, which can be added in several spots. In just a few days, my new shoes are perfectly stretched to fit my foot, helping me to avoid painful squeezing, rubbing, and blisters. 

Move All Day Comfort Insole

Speaking of shoes, I don’t know how I went this long without these insoles, which were recommended by my podiatrist. Instead of shelling out hundreds of dollars for custom orthotics, my doctor advised me to use these supportive, arch-lifting ones to ease my foot and back pain. 

New Balance 515 V3 Sneaker

These versatile New Balance sneakers are another recommendation from my podiatrist who told me it’s time to get serious about giving my feet the support they need to prevent injuries, ease back pain, and reduce my plantar fasciitis and discomfort. This particular pair is easy to style with my entire wardrobe thanks to its simple, but elevated look.

Coola Organic Makeup Setting Spray SPF 30

This genius makeup setting spray doubles as sunscreen, giving me an easy way to keep my makeup in place while boosting my sun protection throughout the day. I give my face a spritz a few times throughout the day, especially if I’m going to be outdoors, and it dries in seconds. And its small size makes it easy to store in my purse.

Linda's Essentials Silicone Stove Gap Cover Set

These oven add-ons serve two purposes: They make it easy to contain spills and messes, making kitchen cleaning faster. They also prevent crumbs and liquids from falling into difficult to reach nooks and crannies, which can attract pests. 

Cocofloss Woven Dental Floss

This incredibly effective floss just might be my favorite discovery this year. I wasn’t convinced the $10 price tag would be worth it, but I tested them right after my usual floss and toothbrush cleaning routine, and I was shocked by how much gunk was left behind and caught by the Cocofloss. Beyond its efficacy, I also love that its thick, but soft string is gentle on my gums and made without parabens and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). 

3M Small Hole All-in-One Repair Tool

The three-in-one tool functions as a spackle applicator, smoother, and sander, making it easy to fill small holes in seconds. I used this to repair 34 holes throughout my house that were left behind by nails and screws, and it took me less than 30 minutes to fix them. 

GreenPan Silicone Turner Spatula

While it may not happen right away, almost all of my kitchen utensils have started to fall apart or melt along the edge where they come in contact with hot surfaces, but that’s not the case with this GreenPan silicone spatula. It’s incredibly sturdy thanks to its steel center, and it’s heat resistant up to 392 degrees Fahrenheit.
