After covering sales events like Cyber Monday for YES, I’ve learned a thing or two about how to shop it smartly.
I’ve also learned that Amazon sells way more than you might expect – from your favourite Redken shampoo to dishwasher tablets, method cleaning sprays to everyone’s favourite Italian spritz, and of course, the humble toilet roll.
Now that I’ve bought my first flat, I’m more conscious of what I’m spending. But with over a decade of shopping and writing under my belt, I’ve got a pretty good sense of what’s actually worth adding to your basket – and what’s just going to gather dust.
This list isn’t full of flashy gadgets or impulse buys. It’s the practical stuff: micellar water, snacks, cleaning products, essentials you’ll use every day. Not the most glamorous, sure, but stocking up during Cyber Monday can save you a surprising amount – and cut down those last-minute supermarket dashes.
So, if you’re looking to make the most of the sales without wasting money, here are the things I genuinely think are worth buying.
My top Amazon Cyber Monday picks:
SodaStream Terra Sparkling Water Maker
The SodaStream Terra is one of those clever kitchen upgrades that actually pays off – especially during the Cyber Monday sale. It’s compact, easy to use, and cuts down on plastic bottles while letting you make sparkling water (and mixers) exactly how you like it.
