23 Items You Need to Own in 2019

by Ally Sabatina

Amazon

Amazon has built an entire brand off being your one stop shop for everything you could possibly need with the added benefit of delivery to your door, often in 2 days or less. Because Amazon has a little—and in most cases, a lot—of everything, it’s the perfect place to shop for everything you might need this year.

Like me, I’m sure you have a long list of recurring items to order from Amazon on a regular basis. Use this list as inspiration for a number of items to add to that list as well as a several times to order once and have forever.

Start here to make your life easier—and by default, a little better—with these 23 items you need to own in 2019 and beyond.
