Here’s a number for you: $21.5 million.
That’s how much money your fellow Digital Trends readers spent on Amazon just this year, and that’s only what we managed to keep track of. With the convenience and efficiency of Amazon free 2-day shipping, it’s no surprise more and more people are choosing to shop online in this digital age. With almost a million purchases in the books for 2017, we have just one question on the forefront of our minds — what are you guys buying?
As a member of Digital Trends’ ecommerce team, I had the distinct pleasure of sorting through your economic life choices. While most purchases were on par with what we’d expect, some of you went to some dark places. I’m talking custom Nicolas Cage pillowcase dark. I do my best not to judge, but if you’re reading this right now while resting your head on Nic Cage, know that I am very disappointed in you.
Anyway, here are some of the most sold products on Digital Trends in 2017. If you missed out on these buying trends, don’t worry, you have all of 2018 to catch up.
