What HuffPost Readers Couldn’t Get Enough Of This Year

The end of the year means an extra special edition of our “Top Shopped” series.

When we started this “Top Shopped” series back in January, we didn’t quite know what 2020 had in store for us — our shopping editors just wanted to see what really resonated with HuffPost readers each month.

Since 2020 was, well, 2020, the series also gave us a glimpse into how shopping — and what we’re shopping for — has changed.

In our first-ever “Top Shopped,” cheeky corduroy pants from Everlane and a lookalike version of the cult-favorite “Amazon Coat” were among the best buys in January. Oh, how long ago that seems — especially now when leggings and robes are all the rage.

Fast forward to April, and face masks and an easy-to-install bidet shot to the top of “Top Shopped.” In our most recent edition of the series, readers splurged on a Dyson Supersonic hair dryer for salon-worthy locks and a Mirror for workouts at home.

And now that 2020 is almost officially over, we wanted to see the things that readers couldn’t get enough of this year — whether it was a splurge or just under $20.

Throughout the year, readers found ways to make staying at home and social distancing easier. Among the best buys of 2020 are a pan with a lot of fans, a cotton sheet set with over 15,000 reviews and the latest Apple AirPods Pro to listen to all those conference calls.

Below, you’ll find the most popular products that HuffPost readers bought in 2020. If you’re curious, you can find every single edition of this series right here.

Take a look at what was “Top Shopped” throughout 2020:

A set of cotton sheets to stop counting sheep

A Dyson vacuum that won’t miss a spot

Dyson

For Black Friday, there were tons of Dyson deals that you didn’t want to leave in the dust. But it was this vacuum that rose to the top of the list. The Dyson V8 Absolute Vacuum is meant to be lightweight but powerful enough to clean hard floors (thanks to a soft roller cleaner head) and remove dirt from carpets (thanks to a different motorized cleaner head). Now, you can spend less time cleaning around the house. Find it for $450 at Dyson.

A deal on the Apple AirPods Pro worth listening up for

Amazon

The best meal kit if you don’t actually want to cook

Freshly

In January, one of our editors put together an easy-to-follow guide to all the best meal kits out there. And it was Freshly that took the top prize. Freshly offers meals that are freshly prepared and refrigerated for shipment — you just have to reheat them. The plans are ideal for anyone who doesn’t actually want to cook. Check out Freshly’s meal plans.

A bug spray that’s all natural

Amazon

This Repel bug spray is the best one out there, according to Consumer Reports. The spray is made without DEET or picaridin and got top marks for actually keeping bugs away. While this summer might have been different than ones of years past, readers jumped on the chance to get some sunshine whenever they could. Find it for $5 at Amazon.

A mirror that lets you see all your workout movements

Mirror

A romper that you won’t want to take off

Lunya

Back in 2018, we published a review of Lunya’s pajamas, which are pretty pricey. But in the year of sweatpants and leggings, the brand’s romper became particular popular with readers. The romper is made from organic cotton and has a relaxed fit. It just might be the perfect piece of loungewear for you, too. Find it for $168 at Lunya.

A water flosser for those pearly whites

Amazon

A cleaning gel that gets all those nooks and crannies

Amazon

No, this isn’t Nickelodeon Slime — this gel was in the top three of most popular items bought on Amazon in 2020. It’s meant to be used to clean dust in a car but you can also roll it over a keyboard, remote or even your phone. Find it for $10 at Amazon.

It’s been a tense year, OK? Between working from home and bad dreams, your back might be feeling the burn(out) of 2020. We’ve seen massage guns trend throughout the year. Massage guns do just that — give you a massage. This deep tissue massage gun has been a favorite — it has a quiet motor, is lightweight and comes with six different attachments.
Find it for $120 at Amazon.
