My 10 Favorite Products From 2025

One of my favorite parts of December online is the best of the year list. Isn’t it fun to see what people like?!

Whether it’s books, products, movies, or anything else, I’ve got you covered on every list!

Over the past five years, I’ve put together end-of-year lists of some of my favorite products (you can see the 2019 list here , the 2020 list here , the 2021 list here , the 2022 list here , the 2023 list here , and the 2024 list here ) and I love keeping an eye out throughout the year for the products that make the cut!

These are my favorite products of 2025!

(PS Stay tuned for Bart’s favorite products this year – post coming later this week!)

Best Products of 2025

Candied Jalapenos
I picked this up for a recipe this spring —and I can’t believe I’ve never tried it before! They add the perfect balance of sweet, sour, and spicy, instantly making any dish more delicious. I wear it for everything now. Pizza, sandwiches, salads, tacos – you name it, and sweets jalapeño slices make it even better!

Sling bag
My beloved belt bag that I’ve taken on trips for the past few years has been sold out for months with no restock in sight, so I’m looking for a replacement. I ordered one of these bags for my fourteen year old and when I opened it, I ordered one for myself too. It transitions seamlessly from crossbody bag to belt bag, fits my basic Kindle, sunglasses, wallet, and keys, and is so good that I haven’t used another bag since it arrived. I ended up ordering one for my three younger daughters and we are all obsessed! (Some colors and patterns are 50% off PLUS my affiliate code JANSSEN will get you an additional 10% off!).

Portable Charger
I have a few other portable chargers and this is the one I use every day on our trip to Boston – it charges my phone really fast, is nice, and is slim so it fits easily in my small shoulder bag. There are lots of color options and I like that there are two types of cables attached.

Gold Bracelet
This bracelet was one of the items on my birthday wishlist for my 40th birthday and my parents gave it to me (along with this one). I’ve worn it almost every day since my birthday and I love that it adds a subtle hint of shine to every outfit without distracting me! I ended up ordering this one too from the same brand and really liked it!

Zipper Pencil Case
I’m so obsessed with this – I picked it up over the summer when I was running Target with my husband and now I can’t stop talking about it. They are very convenient for storing sunscreen, snacks, card games, and, of course, school supplies. And under $4? It doesn’t matter if I get ten!

Yoto Card Holder
I can’t believe how long it took me to try this viral set of tabs and rings for storing Yoto cards, but I’m a complete convert now. I love not having loose cards all over the house! And at under $10 for 10 rings and 200 tabs? Grab a set immediately.

Lipatology Origami Set
This is the most popular thing I’ve shared this year! THOUSANDS of you have picked them up for Easter baskets, road trips, airplane flights, or to stock up on birthday gifts. This kept my girls entertained on our long flights to/from Australia.

Thin Strap Sandals
I wore this CONSTANTLY all summer. I love the look, they’re comfortable, and they’re great for hiking (I wore them for two days in a row while camping and hiking in Canyonlands in the spring), pool walks, canyon adventures, and everyday life. I really can’t recommend it enough!

Tilted Puzzle Board
I loved the puzzle board I bought last year, but this year I couldn’t help but try the tilted version and oh. my. said I fell in love with him. It has all the features I like about the others (space for 1500 puzzle pieces, a sorting drawer, and a spinning feature) but it also tilts so your neck doesn’t get tired from bending and the surface is slightly grippy so your pieces don’t slip (although you can still slide it manually without any problems).

Nike Killshot Shoes
These were my most worn shoes of the year and were absolutely the MVP of our trip to Australia – I wore them almost every day of our trip even walking many miles. If you’re looking for a travel shoe straight out of the box, I think the Eccos are better (they require a little more breaking in), but now that they’re broken in, they’re absolutely perfect for all those trips and I find them a little more fun than the Eccos.

And this is my team’s favorite product!

Cute Kindle case
I’ve had the same black Kindle case since I got my first Kindle in 2011! The black case is still in okay condition, but I wanted something more cute and recognizable. This one has a wrist strap, stand, and magnetic case, plus it’s super cute! Use code EVERYDAYREADING15

Dear skin
I’ve been eyeing this face serum for too long and decided it was time to move on from the $5 Ponds moisturizer I’ve been using for the last 20 years. Skin Bae is very hydrating and gives my face just the right amount of shine (not oily). I’m very tempted to try their new retinol alternative – maybe in 2026! Use code JANSSEN

Pepper Grinder
There’s nothing like fresh pepper, and after almost two years of using a broken grinder, I’ve finally upgraded – and I’m obsessed. This hand crank grinder lets you grind large amounts of pepper into the bottom container, so when a recipe calls for about 2 teaspoons, you can measure instead of guessing how many cranks it will take.

Picnic Blanket
I got this outdoor picnic blanket last Christmas, and we ended up using it spring, summer, and fall this year. We even made it a goal to have a picnic dinner at the new park once a week last summer – and we always took this blanket with us. It’s extremely durable, waterproof, and folds up neatly for easy portability. Plus, the designs and prints are super cute.

Tineco Wet Dry Vacuum I’ve had my eye on one of these vacuum mops for over a year and finally got one. It really lives up to the hype! I have an adorable, but very messy one year old, and this vacuum makes cleaning up after mealtime so much easier! It cleans sticky, crumbly, and wet messes in no time. I now use it more often than my (much more expensive) Dyson Stick vacuum cleaner!

Milk Frother When I think about my favorite products of the year, I try to think of items that I use every day. This certainly fits the bill! I guess I know I’m in my thirties because the amount of supplements I take every day increases- protein powder, electrolytes, pre-workouts, creatine, etc. This foam came with us on holiday. I like it very much! I bought a larger immersion blender but ended up returning it because I didn’t like it as much as this little frother. I stocked up on them when they were on sale and kept a few!
