Using our internal data, we took a walk down memory lane and identified the 25 items that wound up in the most carts. Some were no surprise, like Apple AirTags (which hit a new record-low price this year), Crest 3D Whitestrips (with over 10K-plus Amazon sales in the last month) and the Fire TV Stick (now 50% off!). Interestingly, though, most of your faves weren't from big brands — we're talking Qinlianf wall chargers, Handy Laundry dryer balls and Fab Totes clothing storage bins.

Have we piqued your curiosity? Scroll on and behold the biggest sales sensations of 2024.

An em-power-ing choice if ever there was one, the Quinlianf's innovative design offers up five outlets — two on each side and one in the middle — along with three USB-A ports and one USB-C port.
