From the latest electronics to outdoor camping gear, Amazon has everything you can practically want or need.

Whether it’s creating meals for two or a large clan, Amazon.com has everything you need to make cooking a snap, and healthy and fun for the whole family. Some suggestions would be Oster’s line of appliances - Versa performance blender 1000 series, Mykonos Greek Yogurt Maker, and Compact Juice Extractor.

Patio, Lawn & Garden / Tools & Home Improvement: Warm weather always brings a hubbub of outdoor activity – whether it’s repairing the house, relaxing by the poolside, or hosting a fun barbeque party.

Select picks include lawn equipment for landscaping and gardening chores (Greenwork’s eco friendly & zero carbon emission lawn mowers), and for more relaxing activities, the Weber line of barbeque grills, the Vivere double hammock, and Strathwood patio furniture (an Amazon exclusive).

Home: For those who love to entertain at home or just enjoy the serenity of being at home, Amazon offers a vast selection of furniture, décor, furnishings (including Amazon’s exclusive Pinzon line), even a super cute Janome turbo portable sewing machine (perfect for those living in compact spaces but who have that Etsy entrepreneurship).
