Amazon has become a go-to retailer for so many reasons — when an annual Prime membership gives you 2-day (or sometimes same-day) shipping for just about any item you could ever dream of, what's not to like? From sheets to fire pits to dog beds, we shop for just about everything on the retailer. But because the site holds millions of options, one major downside is figuring out what's actually worth the money. That's where we come in.

The Country Living editorial team and our friends (and pets!) do tons of rigorous testing, so we've got a pretty good eye on what makes a product life-changing versus one that ends up in the trash. We're experts at reading the reviews to bring our readers only the most high-quality, long-lasting, investment-worthy goods that'll make you truly excited to see a brown package on your doorstep.

We surveyed our team on the absolute best things they've ever bought on Amazon, and, thus, we present you with this list. These items have made it into our everyday life, with many on Subscribe & Save at this point. Trust us, while not everything you impulse buy on Amazon is a worthy purchase, any of these 49 items will be.
