My teenage niece and I both love these 8 Amazon products

It was bittersweet watching my niece turn 15 recently. Somehow, she’s only a year away from getting her license and only a few years away from applying to college. What wasn’t bittersweet was watching her excitedly tear open so many wonderful presents at her birthday party. From 54% off new hair tools to her $17 comfy sweatpants, she knows what’s trending and is inspired by me, her 31-year-old aunt, to I have added some items to my wishlist.

As she unwrapped the presents, I looked closely at each present she received. These are the 8 products of hers I added to my shopping cart, with prices starting at just $5.

Gvraslvet sweatpants with pockets

My niece is looking for soft clothing items that are comfortable to wear all day, so she added these sweatpants to her birthday wish list. That’s what I’m aiming for myself. 85% cotton and 15% polyester for equal softness, breathability, and warmth. The large pocket allows her to easily store her iPhone and other small items, and the drawstring allows you to customize the fit. Tighten the hem at the ankle to add a little flare and create a “cool” baggy look.

The sweatpants are available in 12 color options in sizes from X-Small to XX-Large. This is an important detail for me as a plus size woman. Best of all, it’s now almost half price.

Chi Original Ceramic Hair Iron Flat Iron

When I saw my niece open the box of her new Qi curling iron, I immediately looked at the box to check the details. My Chi-Flat iron has been in use for 15 years (just like hers!) and I can see it starting to lose its magical power. This new Kai-she straightener also doubles as a versatile styling tool, allowing you to create classic curls. Refined and straight appearance. Or waves on the beach. After 1 hour, it will automatically turn off for your safety. Just in case you forget to turn it off before heading out the door.

I love how quickly Chi’s hair straightener heats up. You can start styling your hair within 60 seconds. From personal experience, the 11-foot swivel cord allows you to use it anywhere, including standing in the bathroom and peeking out the door to check on her 4-year-old. Plus, it’s currently over 50% off on Amazon.

wet brush mini detangler

Both my sister and niece praise the wet brush. I own their regular size and love how they detangle my hair without getting stuck in my long hair. I also have long hair and always struggle with tangles, so ordering this mini wet brush for myself was a no-brainer. The small size fits perfectly in my niece’s backpack, and it also fits perfectly in my tote bag.

The Wet Brush Mini Detangler is suitable for all hair types, comes in 12 colors or patterns, and costs $5.

Joofo floor lamp

I never imagined that lamps could be “cool” for teenagers, but this floor lamp seems to be an exception. With lots of adjustment and memory features, you can see why this is an “Amazon’s Choice” floor lamp. It stands over 5 feet tall and has a 350-degree rotating light that can be tilted to any angle you need, from straight up to almost parallel to the floor. The most fun part of this lamp is the remote control that allows you to change the brightness and color from approximately 33 feet away.

ulta beauty gift card

You don’t have to love makeup to treat yourself to an Ulta Beauty gift card (although it’s okay if you do). In addition to makeup, Ulta also offers skin care, hair, nails, and other products. Some stores also offer hair salons, so you can buy a gift card now and treat yourself later on a day out with friends or some well-deserved alone time (as a mom) , I’m choosing the latter).

Santiny women’s jogger pants

Remember when I said that my niece loves soft clothes? These joggers are also part of my niece’s wardrobe and I agree. She chose black, but I’m obsessed with the burgundy color. She has over 20 color and print options. I was able to get these joggers for my niece’s party. It’s really soft like butter.

A drawstring allows for a personalized fit, and ankle cuffs add a fun, athletic feel to any look. He also has two pockets, one of which is an inner pocket to safely store his phone and other small items while on the move. Jogger sizes range from X-Small to XX-Large.

RockJam Compact 61 Key Keyboard with Music Stand

A little secret about me: I love to sing and have always wanted to be able to sing while playing the piano. Unfortunately, pianos are expensive, but keyboards are a more affordable and good alternative. This best-selling model comes with 200 tones, 200 rhythms, 40 demos, a music stand, and more. A USB port and AUX input also allow you to connect to your favorite smart devices or headphones.

The RockJam keyboard comes with a limited free trial of a piano app that teaches you how to play.

Infinitipro by Conair curling wand

The Infinitipro by Conair Curling Wand is not your standard curling iron. Different barrel sizes can be used to create your favorite curling styles, while the removable clip allows you to turn your curling iron into a wand to achieve customized wave styles. You can choose from five temperature settings (up to 400 degrees) and rest assured that the curling iron will automatically turn off as a safety measure.
