I spend every day writing about products — from air fryers to popular candles to makeup and cosmetics — while my colleagues at the Good Housekeeping Institute test it all in our state-of-the-art labs. As a team, we pride ourselves on knowing which hot items are worth it (and which to skip). So when I saw Amazon released a list of 100+ must-have products for 2025, I immediately scrolled to see what made the cut.
Check out Amazon's Top 100+ of 2025 here
The new year is a great time to rethink routines, purge clutter and simplify your life. Personally, I'm focused on upgrading my tech setup this year, so I'll be grabbing these Apple AirTags to ensure I never lose my belongings again. If the dramatic winter weather caught you off guard, a warming mug or sunrise alarm clock could make your morning and nighttime routines more enjoyable. Many of these would even make great gifts for birthdays and special occasions throughout the year.
Of Amazon's 122 (to be exact), these are the 20 products that our editors can't live without in 2025.
FreeSip Insulated Water Bottle
Why we like it: The Owala FreeSip is a favorite of Nicole Papantoniou, director of GH's Kitchen Appliances & Innovation Lab — where she tested over 35 water bottles last year. She loves that you can drink out of the spout or tilt it upwards to take bigger gulps.
What to know: The Owala FreeSip comes in 16-, 24-, 32- and 40-ounce sizes and a bunch of fun color options. The brand recommends hand-washing, but Papantoniou puts hers in the dishwasher and hasn't noticed any difference.
Japanese Barbecue Sauce Variety Pack
Why we like it: Bachan's is one of our favorite barbecue sauces, but it goes far beyond smoked meats in my kitchen. I use it as a condiment for just about any weeknight meal (think: grain bowls, noodles and all sorts protein). If you're tired of sriracha, try this.
What to know: Bachan means “Granny” in Japanese, and this sauce was inspired by the founder’s grandmother. The Original is described as “umami-filled” and “teriyaki-ish” in flavor. This variety pack also includes Hot & Spicy, Miso and Yuzu (the latter of which is my favorite).

No soil is required, and there’s a light that tells you when it's time to add water, which makes it very easy to tend to.
What to know: AeroGarden surprised customers last fall by announcing it was closing, and due to an outpouring of support, reversed course. While we await the company to resume operations in spring 2025, you can nab the editor-loved indoor gardens on sale on Amazon.

Restore 2 Sunrise Alarm Clock
Why we like it: The new year is a great chance to reset your sleep schedule. In addition to the slow-brightening lamp that mimics the sunrise, this smart alarm clock also has a library of guided meditations, relaxation exercises and ambient sounds (like "forest birds") to help you fall asleep and stay asleep. "I used to need five to six alarms to wake up in the morning but now I wake up almost instantly," says Grace Wu, product analyst.
What to know: A subscription is required to access the full library of content, like the bedtime wind-down exercises ($4.99/month or $49.99/year).
