Prime Purchases in May
I bought so many clothing and shoe items this month-- but most of it was not for me! I often have better luck finding Alec's clothes on line because he needs an extra long 36" inseam which is so hard to find especially with athletic pants for guys. Then once I ordered him pants I ended up ordering him lots of other clothes too. He hates buying new clothes!
Mid-way through the month I decided to go through all my flip flops and get rid of some of the pairs I never wear. Then I decided to order myself 3 new pairs-- making sure to pick a brand that I already love.
Alec asked me to order him some new pants since his were getting to small; we ordered him 3 pairs and ended up buying 2 of each in various shades of black, navy, and gray.
I then went through his drawers and found that most of his shorts and t-shirts were sized medium (he wears an XL!) so I picked out some new shirts for him hoping to replace some of his old favorites-- all three are Harry Potter themed and had free returns so if he doesn't like them I can always return them.
I found this set of shorts; all with zippered pockets that I think he'll love
He's also been wearing his long sleeved flannel shirt over his t-shirt a lot this spring but has to wear the sleeves rolled up (since it too is a medium!). I went on a hunt to find him a few long sleeved shirts in his size in colors I think he'd like- he wears a lot of blue and teals.
I settled on this one
I picked out a few last minute things for Alec's grad party:
and this fun "Who knows the graduate best?" game
We really needed to replace our nonstick fry pans and I love this GreenLife brand/set. We owned these in blue and they lasted us several years of near daily use.
I was influenced by Jen to try these new sunglasses; I love the color of the lenses

Hi Jo - I love how you do online shopping so well. I rarely buy anything these days - nowhere to wear new clothes (I have so many that are perfectly fine in my wardrobe already!) and no kids to buy for anymore. I've got a bit of cash in my Paypal account and maybe I need to look into doing a little online spending with it :)
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you!
DeleteLove the sandals you chose!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteWhen my son went away to college, I went through the items he left behind and was shocked at all the smaller size clothes in his closet and wardrobe. I must not have gone through his closet during his teen years when he was at home. You got some great items for Alec and for his party.
ReplyDeleteHa! I think boys just do not care at all... he'd happily have kept right on wearing them (and did pull a few shirts and shorts back out of the pile I had taken out of his drawers).
DeleteThanks for sharing these men's purchases, the pants and shorts look like the kind my younger son would love!

You're welcome!
DeleteWhat would we do without Amazon! I am ordering so many things instead of going in the stores.
ReplyDeleteAmy
Me too!
DeleteAmazon makes life easier. We're having coffee on the porch this morning and decided we need new flameless candles. Bam! They'll be here tomorrow. I like your flip flops...you've reminded me I need a new pair too. Have a nice day.
ReplyDeleteIt sure does! I ordered a Father's day gift for my stepfather DURING Alec's graduation party before I could forget about it.
DeleteI love those tees.

Thanks! I was so glad he did too. I never really know when I'm picking out shirts for my boys.
DeleteI love those flip flops, they look perfect for the summer and I would quite happily wear those Harry Potter t-shirts.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThat looks like a fun graduation game! It's so convenient to shop for clothes on Amazon and so easy to make returns if something doesn't fit.
ReplyDeleteThey had a blast playing. I swear Alec had some of his own answers wrong! LOL
DeleteGreat clothing haul! I love the color of the frying pans.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI also love to shop online and recently ordered some new tops. I like your haul of clothes for your husband. Men often just don't want to shop for clothes. #MMBC
ReplyDeleteOh so true!
DeleteOh I love the cupcake holder, I need one like that for deviled eggs. The frying pans look great too!
ReplyDeleteIt is a wonderful holder because you can flip the cupcake part over and it's just a flat white surface so you can use it for brownies or cookies too!
DeleteI enjoyed reading about your Prime purchases, Joanne.
ReplyDeleteThe Harry Potter t-shirts and practical shorts for Alec are great choices.
Your new flip flops look perfect for summer, and the cupcake holder is adorable for the grad party. Thanks for the shopping inspiration!
Thank you!
DeleteI love the flip flops! I don't buy many clothes for the kids anymore since they seem to have their own style, but they know they can order things they might need. I know what you mean about finding all the smaller sizes in the dresser...ha, ha. It looks like we were both influenced to buy the sunglasses! Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I was surprised that Alec liked everything I picked out and even better-- they all fit!
DeleteLooks like we both did some shopping for our young men!
ReplyDeleteI swear it's like pulling teeth when I have get my boys new clothes.
DeleteThose are some great purchases.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteGreat flipflops. I wear then all the time in and around the house.
ReplyDeleteMe too! I will pretty much live in them now until nearly our first snowstorm.
Deletethose flip flops are cute
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you!
DeleteI swear, Amazon is THE place to get the best lounge pants for both men and women!
ReplyDeleteYes! Me too!
DeleteThe flip flops look comfortable and stylish!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteWe might need new pans too. Rob is disappointed in our last set.

I really liked these; just a tiny bit of oil and nothing at all sticks to them.
DeleteIt was a lot of fun! His friends were roaring and fighting over some of the answers.
ReplyDeleteYou found some great products and clothes this month! That cupcake holder is genius! Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI was so glad that he liked ALL the clothes I picked out for him!
ReplyDeleteI’m loving all of those flip flops, Joanne!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteWhat great Amazon finds Joanne. I love all the things you picked out for Alec. And those flip flops look so comfy.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThat graduate game is such a fun idea!!
ReplyDeleteHim and his friends had the best time with it! I told family about it too if they wanted to try it out but most of them decided to just let the kids play.
