Here are some of the best things to buy on Amazon this month according to our team members:


1. Lina convinced me to buy this under $50 duvet set with a convenient zipper closure for my boys’ room.

JELLYMONI Striped Duvet Cover Set – $38.99+

*Arrives after Christmas.

Since my boys are both getting bed makeovers for their “need” gift this Christmas, I scooped up two of these duvet sets in the checked charcoal for their room. While I still have yet to gift it to them, I’ve already washed them and am really happy with the quality of the material and love the zipper closure. The fabric feels thick and comes out of the dryer with very minimal or no ironing needed.

Best of all, the reason they’ve been wanting new bedding is that they’re always so hot and I can tell the fabric on these will feel nice and cool compared to the Minky comforter they have now!

Check out how Lina’s duvet looks in her son’s room!

Since Lina doesn’t have a guest room, her teen son let grandma use his bed while he took the couch for Thanksgiving break. To freshen up his space, Lina grabbed this affordable duvet set which has corner ties and a convenient zipper closure. She’s been really impressed with the quality for the super affordable price and it even comes with coordinating pillowcases! đŸ‘đŸ»

Hip Tip: Need a duvet insert to go with this item? I scooped up this down-alternative comforter which is under $40, made of Standard 100 Certified OEKO-TEX material (aka non-toxic) and has convenient corner tabs.
