These are the 25 products Yahoo readers couldn't stop buying this year
From an oddly adorable mini chainsaw to a beloved snail mucin serum, here's what you kept buying in droves.
As much as we here at Yahoo love comparing notes about the items we tried, tested and loved all year, it's an extra-special treat to see what you, our lovely readers, went gaga for in '24. Truth is, you inspire us — and what kind of friends would we be if we kept all that intel to ourselves? No gatekeeping here!
Using our internal data, we took a walk down memory lane and identified the 25 items that wound up in the most carts. Some were no surprise, like Apple AirTags (which hit a new record-low price this year), Crest 3D Whitestrips (with over 10K-plus Amazon sales in the last month) and the Fire TV Stick (now 50% off!). Interestingly, though, most of your faves weren't from big brands — we're talking Qinlianf wall chargers, Handy Laundry dryer balls and Fab Totes clothing storage bins.
Have we piqued your curiosity? Scroll on and behold the biggest sales sensations of 2024.
An em-power-ing choice if ever there was one, the Quinlianf's innovative design offers up five outlets — two on each side and one in the middle — along with three USB-A ports and one USB-C port.

You house keys, wallet, luggage ... you name it, an Air Tag can help retrieve it. If it's within 30 feet, your iPhone will provide a pinpointed location. If it's farther afield, Apple's Find My network can get a bead on it. Do yourself a favor, though, and buy some cases so you can clip these gizmos to the prized possessions in question.

These food storage containers are made of glass — but not just any glass. We're talking about borosilicate glass, which is used on thermal tiles in space shuttles.

You can also store these containers in the freezer if you have leftovers you know you won't get to right away.
