I’m an Amazon Shopping Editor, and My Favorite Finds from 2023 Start at Just $13

It’s hard to believe, but the year is almost over – and for me, at least, it is many purchases included. I’ve spent the last 12 months rummaging through the finds, and it should come as no surprise that I’ve generated a handful of 2023 favorites — including these popular white sneakers and the essential Apple AirTags I can’t leave the house without.

For those looking for a last-minute buy for the season, whether it’s for holiday gifts or a simple treat for yourself, Amazon is still awash with discounts on many of the items I highly recommend. Right now you can shop non-stick pans, skin care, home decor and winter fashion from brands like Beats, Yankee Candle, Lego and Caraway. Plus, if you act fast, these items will arrive on your doorstep before Christmas.

The only pan I reach for while cooking is a pan with a non-stick cumin coating. The 8 inch pan meets my needs perfectly, big enough to cook for one to two people at a time. Thanks to the naturally non-stick surface, the ingredients simply slide on the pan, which makes it ideal for frying eggs, sautéing vegetables and frying meat.

It is safe to use on induction, gas and electric stoves and is oven safe up to 550 degrees Fahrenheit. In addition, it does not contain any chemicals, such as PTFE, PFOA, lead and cadmium.

Nearly 1,000 Amazon customers chose this pan last month and it has more than 1,200 perfect ratings. Users call it “a premium pan at a premium price” and add that they are “obsessed” with it. One five-star reviewer simply said, “Nothing stays!”

I haven’t worked with Lego blocks since childhood — and then this set fell into my lap. I can confidently say that this set of succulents was an absolute success to put together. You will create nine plants that are inspired by real-life flowers. And unlike the flowers you pick up at the grocery store, these won’t droop or wilt.

The set is the best seller in its category, and in December it was bought by more than 90,000 customers. One five-star reviewer raved: “They’re beautiful because I can’t have real plants because of the lack of natural sunlight. I find that they make me more productive in my work.”

After an airline lost my luggage this year, I won’t travel anywhere without putting an Apple AirTag in my suitcase. These handy tags allow you to keep track of many things in your life, from keys to purses, and with the Find My app you can keep track of where they are. Easy one-touch setup automatically connects the AirTag to your phone or tablet and you’re good to go.

It should come as no surprise that 10,000 Amazon customers purchased AirTags this month and have racked up 132,000 perfect ratings. Users say it’s “the ultimate lost and found solution,” and one reviewer wrote, “This little tracker has brought great convenience to my daily life.”
