Straight from our "recent orders" list to your shopping cart.

Here in Alabama, we've officially welcomed the summer months with high humidity and blazing temperatures. And with summer apparently comes the need to clean, more chances to whip up something new in the kitchen, and entertaining our dogs that just can't get enough playtime — at least according to our editors' Amazon purchases this past month.

A new month means a new round of tried-and-true Amazon buys straight from our editors' "Recent Orders" list to your shopping cart, and May was packed with great finds. From lint rollers that'll finally clean up all that pet hair to a candle warmer that's (gasp) actually cute, these Amazon buys made our month, and we know they'll make yours, too!

"We have a one-year old, fairly high-energy Catahoula mix that absolutely loves to play fetch, so this toy was a no-brainer. It attaches to the tree branch with a bungee strap and then comes with a ball to suspend to the end. She plays with this forever, and it's so much easier on us instead of throwing the ball for 20 minutes! It's a must-have for high-energy, fetch-loving pups."

—Hannah Jones, Commerce Editor

"My mother-in-law always has a candle on the warmer at all times, but the warmer wasn't exactly the cutest. We got her this as a Mother's Day Gift and she loved it! It adds just a hint of ambiance to the kitchen and keeps her favorite scents going all day long."

—Hannah Jones, Commerce Editor

"I just bought a house (!) and as I was updating all the locks, I decided to go for a smart lock on the front door. My sister has the same one, which guided my choice. I love that I don't have to take my keys out to open the front door and the peace of mind that I get from checking the app to make sure it's both closed and locked. I even installed it myself! (I only had to screw and unscrew everything three times to get it all right...)"

—Emma Gray Pitt, Deputy Art Director

"As I'm moving things into my new place, I'm on a major cleaning kick to make sure everything is as pristine as possible. (We will see how long this energy lasts!) Enter: my first upholstery cleaner. I'm using it on all my rugs and furniture to give myself a literal fresh start."

—Emma Gray Pitt, Deputy Art Director

"Part of the fun of being a food editor, is getting to play around with ingredients in the kitchen, coming up with recipes. Getting those recipes to taste good is part of the struggle. So I’m excited to have just discovered Niki Segnit's Flavor Thesaurus — a compendium of literally hundreds of ingredient pairings, from chocolate/almond to thyme/shellfish, with detailed and inventive notes on how they taste together. I recommend it for any cook who likes to go off recipe."

—Chris Michel, Senior Food & Gardens Editor

"My birthday was this month and my mom gifted me a beautiful wooden recipe box and a stack of these recipe cards! I love the themed illustrations and the fact that they're bigger than your standard notecard."

—Anna Logan, Senior Homes & Style Editor

"We have a short-haired dog, Queen Esther. And, yes, she's the queen of the house. We’ve had lots of dogs, but none has shed hair like the Queen! Hence the Evercare pet roller. All the furniture gets a good swiping multiple times a week, and I don't show up at work with a white-haired bottom!"

—Becky Stayner, Staff Photographer

"Belt bags, fanny packs, whatever you want to call them—I love them. I recently bought this crocodile pleather belt bag and I’m obsessed with it! This one is less expensive than a lot of popular ones on the market but looks and feels just as good! It's the perfect everyday bag with just enough room for things like my keys, wallet, and my trusty Tide To Go pen."

—Anna Mahan, Associate Commerce Editor

"I have a long haired cat and it's major shedding hours at my house! A vacuum only does so much sometimes, so I finally ordered the ChomChom Pet Hair Remover and was delightfully surprised by how well it works! I've used it on rugs, furniture, throw pillows, and a comforter. It even pulled all the fur off of her most used cat bed. I know I'll be using it a lot this summer!"

—Beth Branch, Editorial Assistant

"Tis the season for graduations, weddings, and anniversaries, and here I am flat out of wrapping paper. I love that this sophisticated, thick paper is not only beautiful but also fully recyclable and printed with chemical-free vegetable inks."

—Terri Robertson, Senior Digital Editor

"When you buy someone a wedding gift off their registry… and it makes you kind of jealous: I love the lines of this best-selling electric kettle, which has 11,000-plus 5 star ratings to boot."

—Terri Robertson, Senior Digital Editor

"Our previous kitchen soap dispenser when kaput. This replacement fit the bill: simple lines, heavy glass, sturdy pump, and good reviews. Also, it's a set of two for a very affordable sale price, so now we have a back up."

—Terri Robertson, Senior Digital Editor

"Just like his mom, my Maltese Teddy loves to end the day with a cold, fizzy beverage. In his case, it's this sweet "Lick Croix" toy. We are a strict Pomplemousse household, so the fact that it's in our favorite flavor makes it even better. I absolutely squealed with joy when this arrived! (It's the small things.)"

—Anna Logan, Senior Homes & Style Editor
