Each year I like to see what the most popular items I’ve shared are.

Sure, it’s hard to track them perfectly: I like to think that books are the real tops on the list, but since many books are borrowed from the library or a friend, or purchased where I don’t see the data (like using your Audible credits or listening through Amazon Music Unlimited, I often don’t see them.

And of course, the items at the top of this list are the ones I’ve used, loved, and talked about a million times!

According to the data I have access to, here are the ten most popular articles I’ve shared this year!

Bestsellers from 2025

Colored pencils
We own so many sets of these colored pencils – all my girls have them and love them. And clearly you do too. They are super affordable with a soft core perfect for coloring and drawing. I always keep a stash of these in my gift closet and pair them with drawing books for an easy, foolproof gift.

Foldology
These folding origami puzzles have been absolutely amazing this year. They made my top 10 most popular items in 7 of 12 months, and I can personally confirm that the hype is deserved (I even added them to my blog post on my 10 favorite products of 2025). From long international flights to those days stuck at home, with cabin fever, these have kept us busy and sane more times than I can count.

Riddle
My girls really got into puzzle books this year, and they flew after that Murdle Jr.I got these later. I also stocked up on them while they were on sale so I could have them on hand for easy gifts to friends. Clearly, there are a lot of puzzle book lovers out there – and I like that.

Heart-shaped leather bookmarks
This has been the most popular item on my $5 Viral Gift Guide, and as a book blogger, I truly couldn’t be happier. You really can’t beat a set of six bookmarks under $7, and I love that so many of you got them as stocking stuffers and book club gifts. Absolutely here for it.

Dreamegg White Noise Machine
I’m not even a little surprised that this was the most popular item two consecutive years. Before our trip to Croatia, I got these tiny white noise machines on a whim and they made a huge difference with the jet lag. Between the melatonin and the mini sound machines, we all fell asleep within minutes. They’ve officially earned a spot on my must-trip list… and yes, I’ll admit we own three of them.

$9 Walmart T-Shirt
I can’t tell you how many times this shirt has made my monthly best seller list… but it’s been A LOT! It’s just GOOD – I wore the white one a million times last summer and added a black one to the rotation this year! It also comes in several new colors and a navy striped version, and they’re all just $8 plus they’re 100% organic cotton (the website doesn’t say organic but the labels on the shirts do!).

Geometric towels
Once you use a Geometry towel, you will never be able to use another regular kitchen towel in the same way again. These things are amazing and have such fun patterns that make me happy every time I see them. They are also my favorite to bring to a party with my favorite things – and they always get stolen the most times!

Magic puzzles
These puzzles are not your usual puzzles, and believe me, I have done my fair share of puzzles. They are beautifully designed so that each piece is fun to look at and there’s a surprise when you reach the end! I love that so many of you get to experience the absolute fun of these! I wrote a whole post about them if you want more details here!

Yoto rings and tabs
I can’t believe how long it took me to try these viral Yoto card storage tab and ring sets, but now I’m completely converted. I love not having papers scattered all over the house! And for under $10 for 10 rings and 200 tabs? Get a set now.

Spanx sweatshirt
This is without a doubt the sweatshirt I use the most. I bought it over the summer and wore it pretty much non-stop whenever I could justify a sweatshirt, and it’s even better for fall and winter. The sweatshirt material is unreal – incredibly soft and smooth.
