This Christmas, if you skipped the lines and let the miracle workers at Amazon deliver your goodies to your doorstep—sometimes in under a day—you weren’t the only one. Amazon announced it had a record-breaking holiday season with billions of items ordered worldwide, according to a press release from the company.
The best-selling products for the online mega-retailer this holiday include devices like the Echo Dot, Fire TV Stick with Alexa Voice Remote, and Echo Show 5; toys like the L.O.L. Surprise! Glitter Globe Doll Winter Disco Series with Glitter Hair; and everyone’s favorite home-cleaning splurge, the iRobot Roomba 675 Robot Vacuum.
Brands yielding high sales across all items include HAUS LABORATORIES, Carhartt, AmazonBasics, and Champion. In terms of most-shopped departments, toys, fashion, home, and beauty take the lead with more than half a billion total items ordered.
Obviously, we’re obsessed with all things home, so in terms of what spiked in the home department, the best-selling home products in the U.S. included the Instant Pot Duo 80 7-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker, iRobot Roomba 675 Robot Vacuum, Linenspa 6-Inch Innerspring Twin Mattress, Keurig K-Classic Coffee Maker, Lodge Silicone Hot Handle Holder, COSORI Air Fryer, Brita Ultra Max Filtering Dispenser, National Tree Crestwood Spruce Garland, and Mr. Coffee Mug Warmer.
“This holiday season has been better than ever thanks to our customers and employees all around the world,” said Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos. “On behalf of all Amazonians, we wish everyone the happiest of holidays and a fantastic 2020.”
