So, take advantage of our shopping sprees, dear reader, because we're here to share with you all of our winning purchases on Amazon from this past month.

E-Series Rechargeable Mosquito Repeller

"If you're like me, then bugs that bite are public enemy no. 1. I can't go outside in summer without drenching myself in bug spray. I've tried just about every mosquito repellant on the market (sprays, scarves, bracelets, clip-on fans, oils, plants -- the list goes on). This Thermacell is the only thing that works in my experience. The set-up is easy, just set it outside in a central point (like on a table or by your lawn chairs) and wait 15 to 20 minutes for a perfectly bug-free bubble to emerge. It's been a lifesaver this summer!"

Electric Spin Scrubber

"I don't know why I waited so long to get one of these, but I totally regret the time in my life when I didn't have it. After using it just once, I'm a forever convert. It saved so much time and elbow grease cleaning the shower. They make heads that can attach to your drill, but I prefer a separate device that I can store in my bathroom."

—Hannah Nance, Commerce Editor

Rose Gold Metal Floating Picture Frame

"I bought this rose gold floating 5-by-7-inch frame for a guest book sign for my wedding this summer, and I'm on the hunt for the perfect pic to go in it for my home now. It sure looks pretty on a shelf!"

—Madoline Markham, Assistant Managing Editor

Gold Wrap-Around Curtain Rod

"We're in the process of setting up our nursery and wanted the most aesthetically pleasing way to completely block out any and all light. Paired with my favorite blackout curtains (mentioned below!), this wrap-around rod does the trick. It totally blocks all light that would come in through the sides of the window. I'm probably going to get a couple for my own room, now!"

—Hannah Nance, Commerce Editor

Blackout Velvet Curtains

"I now have these curtains in multiple rooms in my home because they are the best blackout curtains I've ever owned. They're also incredibly luxurious without costing an absolute fortune. I plan on dressing them up a little with a fun ribbon trim in the nursery!"

—Hannah Nance, Commerce Editor

Kayak Roof Racks

"Happy to report that I’m officially a #kayakperson and that this rack perfectly holds my 10-foot sit-on-top Lifetime kayak. Just, don’t forget the cross rails!"

—Anna Logan, Senior Homes & Style Editor

Airtag Keychain Holder

"My son turned 16 this month, and I got him an Apple Air Tag with an affordable keychain attachment. That way, he can find his keys when they're buried in his backpack or lost in his room."

—Katie Bowlby, Digital Director

Rice Cooker

"My Instant Pot died, and rather than replace it with a new model, I bought a rice cooker instead. I really only used the Instant Pot to make rice, so this under $20 model was the perfect solution. It takes up less room in my cabinet, makes consistent rice, and is easy to clean."

—Katie Bowlby, Digital Director

Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life

"I got a book! Remember when Amazon mostly just sold books? Anyway, it’s called Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder. It turns out there’s a lot of research about how good for you it is to feel a sense of awe on the regular, so I’ve been trying to do that more with regular trips outdoors."

—Chris Michel, Senior Food & Gardens Editor

Belt Bag

"This $12 black zip-up belt bag even satisfied my tween who was begging for the Lululemon version. It holds her phone, wallet, and lipgloss and looks adorable thrown over her summer outfits. "

—Amy Mitchell, Managing Editor

White Flowers Artificial Tulips

"I love having fresh flowers around my house, but sometimes having a pretty bouquet of artificial flowers makes things a little easier. These artificial tulips look so good and even bend in whatever direction you prefer to make them look even more realistic. So many of my friends have asked if they’re real when they come over. I might just order a second bouquet for my bedroom!"

—Anna Mahan, Associate Commerce Editor

Under Eye Masks

"Even during the summer months my skin gets pretty dry, especially around my eyes. I love using these under eye masks from Grace and Stella while I sip on my coffee in the mornings. I keep mine in the fridge for an extra cool and refreshing feel! Out of all the eye masks I’ve sued, these definitely do the trick."
