June was perhaps the slowest month ever for Amazon purchases for me. I only bought four things. Four things, y’all! And one of them was returned. Since four items hardly makes for a post, I decided to include Brian’s Amazon purchases this month as well.
He and I share a Prime
account and all of our purchases are charged to the same Amazon credit card,
but we each have separate accounts so we can have our own wish lists and make
secret purchases for one another for gifts.
Okay, let’s see what we
bought this month, shall we?
Rocket Ship Backpack
I’ve mentioned before that
my brother and sister-in-law both just got jobs at NASA, and their son, my
nephew, just had his third birthday earlier this month. I thought it would be super appropriate to
buy some space themed stuff since the whole family is obsessed with it, and I
though this rocket ship backpack would be perfect. My nephew had to go back to daycare after a
year of staying at home with my sister-in-law, and this is the perfect size for
him to carry his necessities in for daycare.
It also comes with a detachable leash if you want to keep your child
controlled in public. Lol. No judgement here if you do!
Dr. Seuss – There’s No Place Like Space book
In keeping with the outer
space them, I also purchased Dr. Seuss’s book, There’s No Place Like Space for
another part of Tucker’s birthday gift.
It is one of the lesser known Dr. Seuss books, but it’s the same
whimsical and wacky style as all of his classics. I highly recommend this book!
Miata Hat
This may seem like a super
random purchase, but it wasn’t. My daddy
just got a miata sports car a couple of months ago and he is utterly obsessed
with it. He loves it so much that we
decided to buy him a Miata baseball cap for Father’s Day. He wears baseball caps most of the time
anyway, and I loved the look of this khaki one.
He loves it, too!
No Show Undies
I’m super picky about
underwear – I won’t wear anything that shows through my pants, so seamless
undies are the only kind I buy. My
favorites are from Nordstrom but they are suuuuper pricey, so I decided to try
some from Amazon to see if they compare.
Sadly, the quality of these just wasn’t on par with my Nordstrom ones, so they were
returned. I guess I’ll just be sticking
with my super expensive undies from now on!
Now I’m just waiting patiently for the NSale so I can load up!
That is actually all I purchased
under my Amazon account this month, so now I’ll share Brian’s purchases with
you…
Jacob has requested to hang
up his soccer cleats in exchange for baseball this fall, so we’ve slowly been
acquiring his baseball gear over the last few weeks. B reviewed loads and loads of bats and we
ended up settling on this one. Jacob’s a
bit small for his age and he’s never played baseball before, so we wanted to
find a bat that was super lightweight and this one definitely fits the
bill. He feels comfortable swinging it
and he seems to love it, so hopefully it’ll be worth the money.
Mizuno Baseball Glove
This glove was another purchase
for our upcoming little league season.
Jacob likes the feel of it and he and B have already been playing a lot
of catch to get him ready.
Epson Ink Cartridges
The printer I use in my
office is an Epson printer, and I’ve found that the remanufactured ink works
just as well as the genuine Epson ink for a tiny fraction of the price. If I were to buy this same pack of ink brand
new, it would be between $80 and $100.
This remanufactured pack is just $22.99 and it works just the
same. I’m on my second pack. You’re welcome.
And if you’re new around
here and you’re curious to see what else we’ve ordered in past months, here you
go!
I was wondering if your dad had a Miata - my dad always wanted one of those, too! Love the space items - I think that book is going to have to be purchased for my nephew at some point. My sister in law is a science teacher and I know she would love it for him!
ReplyDeleteVery funny that you had your slowest Amazon month while I had one of my busiest! I love the space gifts you got your nephew!
ReplyDeleteI love that Jacob is going to be playing Baseball!! Very nice bat and glove =)
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that ordering from Amazon is so satisfying? That Dr. Seuss book looks cute! xo, Biana
ReplyDeleteCan you send me a link to your no show panties from NOrdstrom? I want to make sure I can snag some. I can't believe you only ordered 4 items. I am afraid to see how many I ordered.
ReplyDeleteHAHA! 4?! That's actually fantastic.. I had so many I had to narrow down my post to just clothes! My husband has me order whatever he needs from Amazon all the time and I tend to leave things like carburetor cleaning kit and replacement lawnmower wheels off my monthly posts.
ReplyDeleteI'm telling you, that is an all-time low for me. It HAS to be. And LOL that's exactly why I don't usually post what B buys.
DeleteThat backpack is adorable!!! My kids go to Mars School District, so it would be perfect for Liam - haha! And no judgement on the leash. I have a backpack with a detachable leash for Liam - he is an elopement risk, so I say better safe than sorry!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, that is just PERFECT! And yes, no judgement here either... you gotta do what you gotta do to keep them safe!
DeleteIsn't printer ink the biggest ripoff? I'm glad you found a reasonable replacement! That's so fun that your dad got a Miata. Thanks for linking up with Prime Purchases! Tanya - The Other Side of the Road
