Best of 2021 : Our 12 Favorite Products

January 7, 2022

I have to admit, it was pretty tough narrowing this down to only 12 products, BUT these are our top favorite purchases of 2021! Below I am talking about each one and also sharing a few other products that almost made the list too!

01 Straight Jeans – These are hands down my favorite jeans right now. They fit great everywhere (even the waist), and are comfy! You can see me wearing them here.

02 Pleated Ceramic Pendant – This handmade pendant that is hanging in our bathroom is probably our favorite light fixture in our home. It is absolutely beautiful with it’s ceramic shade and hand-turned walnut accents. Definitely check out this shop and view all of their beautiful lights!

03 Shearling Slides – Yes, these were an investment (I actually snagged them during a 25% off sale), but I wear them all the time!

04 Bondi Boost Shampoo & Conditioner – I have been using this since August and my hair has grown so much! Not to mention the new growth I have is insane… it basically looks like I have bangs right now! I also have been using the Intensive Spray on my scalp which I think has really attributed to my new growth. You can use our code LAINEANDLAYNE20 for 20% off sitewide!

05 Avocado Oil Mascara – I recently tried this waterproof mascara and love it just as much as the Almond Oil Mascara! It is also very easy to come off, this is the makeup remover I use.

06 Feels Like Home Book – I shared a roundup of our favorite coffee table books earlier this week, but IF I had to pick a favorite book that I pick up regularly for inspiration, it would be this one.

07 Small Brass Curtain Clips – We used these in our guest bathroom and they are so beautiful, I am already wanting to update the cafe curtains in our bathroom with these clips and these curtains!

08 Hannah Winters Art – We have this art piece in our living room and a two more of her pieces in our bathroom. This year we are focusing more on supporting artists and their work and curating a collection of art that resonates meaning.

09 Belgian Flax Linen Sheets – We have tried a lot of different linen sheets and these are the ones Justin and I want to sleep on the most! We have the Natural/White color which is a pretty oatmeal with a contrasting white trim. You can see how they look in our bedroom here.

10 Dining Room Chairs – Can’t rave about these chairs enough! They are sturdy, well-made, and have a beautiful wood grain that you can see. The finish is a matte black which we love as well. You can see them in our dining room here.

11 Vintage-Inspired Rug – We have this rug in our living room which you can see in this post, and it has been a fun change from the usual neutral rugs we have in this space. You can also see more un-filtered videos of the rug in our Rugs highlight here.

12 Breville Toaster Oven – A very large Oak tree was struck by lightening on our property late last summer during a thunderstorm and somehow, it jumped and killed our range in our kitchen. Fortunately, our stovetop still works but we have been without our main oven and this Breville has SAVED us! Our microwave has also been out for two months now and we have been using this toaster oven to warm up all of our food and it’s amazing how much more efficient it is (not to mention how much better the food tastes). We really realized how much we need/don’t need. 100% recommend this small appliance!

There were quite a few other products that almost made the cut so we shared them in the product slide above. We hope you find something in this list that you will love just as much as us!

Happy Friday, friends!
