One of the goals in writing this blog is to help make you a real sophisticated consumer and smart shopper.
This is regardless of what you’re in the market to buy–be it the best Peloton accessories or wide width shoes for women.
I’ve also taken into consider the why you were shopping.
Maybe you’re buying something indulgent for yourself.
Or maybe you’re looking for gift ideas for Peloton lovers, Father’s Day or Christmas.
Or maybe you’re in the market for something as simple as a new dehumidifier.
With that in mind I thought it made sense to create a Shop page for all the products I mention in my various blog posts.
That way if you wanted one place to scroll through your shopping options, it was there for you.
Below you’ll find products and recommendations from many of the my blog posts.
I hope you enjoy scrolling through. Maybe you’ll find something you like that you didn’t even know you wanted.
Happy shopping and scrolling.
For your convenience, I’ve set up an Amazon storefront that links to products mentioned in many of my popular blog posts.
So, if you prefer to do your shopping on Amazon, I hope you’ll check it out.

Best Peloton accessories
My blog post on the best, must-have Peloton accessories and essentials has been the number one blog post for more than a year.
No wonder.
People are loving their Pelotons and want to make sure they own everything they can to get the most out of their Peloton cycle, Peloton Tread, Peloton Row or the Peloton digital app.
I also love power zone training on the Peloton.
That kind of training has its own list of must have essentials, which I’ve inclued below.
Below are the products I’ve recommended in those blog posts.
I’ve collected them here to make your shopping easier.
Desk for your Peloton
You can check them out on their company website.
Here is an exclusive Spintray coupon code for you to use: LEAH10 at checkout to save 10%.
Plus, the makers of a laptop tray exclusively for the Bike Plus just reached out to me, so I've added their product here, too.
Peloton Shoes on Amazon
Now that Peloton is selling its wares on Amazon, you can buy its shoes online, too.
Best Peloton Accessories: Baleaf Padded Shorts for Men
When you shop on Baleaf.com and use the code LEAH15 at checkout, you'll receive a 15% discount. This is a much better deal than shopping on Amazon.
Peloton Power Zone Training Must Haves
You'll find most of these accessories and must haves in my Peloton room. Many have helped make Power Zone training and every other ride much more comfortable.
Terry
You definitely want to invest in padded shorts for Power Zone training. These are the ones I wear on my Peloton.
Baleaf
My husband loves his Baleaf shorts. Also, when you shop on Baleaf.com, , use the code LEAH15 at checkout--you’ll receive a 15% discount.
BodyGlide
Using chamois cream or this ride glide product can help you avoid saddle sores from all of your Peloton power zone training.
Scosche
Even though Power Zone training is not heart rate zone training, I find that wearing this Scosche heart rate monitor gives me more accurate numbers.
Vornado
You'll need a fan to keep you cool. Peloton riders all swear by the Vornado pedestal fan.
Swiftwick Socks
It's normal for your toes to go to sleep after riding a long time. So, make sure you wear thin socks as your feet swell. My Power Zone challenge teammates told me about these awesome Swiftwick Socks!
Velotowel
If you want to have a towel on your handlebars and one to go under your bike--yes, even if you have a mat--Velotowel has you covered.
Peloton Gifts to Give
From milestones to marriage anniversaries to Mother’s Day, there are plenty of opportunities to buy a gift for a Peloton user throughout the year.
I believe I’ve rounded up some of the best Peloton gift ideas, including those featuring some of your favorite instructor quotes.

I’ve highlighted a few of those selections below.
Anniversary Gift Ideas
Having trouble finding the right anniversary gift?
You’re not alone.
These gift suggestions are from two of my blog posts related to anniversaries.
One focuses on easy anniversary gifts with a modern theme.
Another focuses on anniversary gifts with a traditional theme.
6th Traditional Wedding Anniversary Gift Idea
With turquoise one of the 6th wedding anniversary colors and the traditional gift theme iron, a turquoise blue Le Creuset cast iron pot would be a great selection for a spouse who loves to cook.
7th Traditional Wedding Anniversary Gift Ideas
If you're going with wool as your traditional seven year wedding anniversary gift theme, here are great brands of wool socks to consider. Yes, I said socks!
8th Traditional Wedding Anniversary Gift Ideas
The traditional theme for being married eight years is bronze or pottery. Look at the cool items I found--featuring one or both of these themes--on Etsy! These are some simple yet perfect presents for him or for her.
Traditional 10th Wedding Anniversary Gift Ideas
The traditional wedding anniversary theme for being married 10 years is tin. Look at these cool tin signs I found on Etsy!
Anniversaries 26-29 Gift Themes and Ideas
When you've reached your marriage milestone of being married for 26, 27, 28 and 29 years, you're looking at a single wedding anniversary gift theme. They are:
- 26: art
- 27: music
- 28: linens
- 29: tools
With these themes in mind, I've suggested some gifts to get by year that are personalized and could work as a present for him, for her, for a couple, for parents or grandparents, or anyone else you know celebrating their anniversary.
The 27th wedding anniversary gift theme is music. Why not give the gift of music the recipient can enjoy all year long? If it makes sense, check out a SiriusXM subscription. Or give a throwback gift of vinyl records. There are a handful of subscription boxes on the Cratejoy website devoted entirely to vinyl records.
The 29th wedding anniversary gift theme is tools. So, get them tools from a store like The Home Depot.
31-34 Anniversaries Gift Themes and Ideas
When you've reached your marriage milestone of being married for 31, 32, 33 or 34 years, you're looking at a single wedding anniversary gift themes to shape your shopping and gift buying. So there's no reason to think in terms of a traditional gift theme or a modern gift theme. They're all the same.
Those themes are:
- 31 anniversary: travel
- 32 anniversary: bronze
- 33 anniversary: iron
- 34 anniversary: food
With these four themes in mind, I've suggested some gifts to get by year that are personalized and could work as a present for him, for her, for a couple, for parents or grandparents, or anyone else you know celebrating their 31st, 32nd, 33rd or 34th wedding anniversary.
The theme for a 31st wedding anniversary is travel. In the "before times" I would have suggested you plan or give a trip to some exotic location or one that's been on your bucket list forever. However, in our current context, here's how I would suggest you find an anniversary gift that matches the theme symbol of travel--do it virtually.
For example, you can still scratch the wanderlust itch with a travel-oriented subscription box, such as the Wordy Traveler available through Cratejoy.
Every three months the Wordy Traveler sends three books, each set in an exotic locale. That way you can be transported (albeit inside your mind) someplace without traveling from the comfort--or safety--of your home.
With bronze being the theme for a 32nd wedding anniversary, I love the idea of giving a bronze statue or original piece of art. You can find plenty of original bronze pieces on Etsy, such as this Bronze Climbing Men art work
With the theme of a 33rd wedding anniversary iron, you can come up with great gift ideas for him or her. For example, if the couple likes to play golf, you can go with a new set of irons. Or, if the couple likes to cook--and camp--you can choose a gift like these cast iron cooking pots from Bass Pro Shops. They're designed to be used outdoors over an open flame.
The theme or symbol for a 34th wedding anniversary is food. So why not give the gift of food? You can order a food basket from your favorite local store, you can offer to cook the happy couple dinner--or take them out, if that's an option--or you can order then a subscription box to a meal kit service like Blue Apron. We love cooking with Blue Apron.
36-39 Anniversaries Gift Themes and Ideas
When you've reached your marriage milestone of being married for 36, 37, 38 and 39 years, it gets more challenging to find unique gifts to give each other or someone you know. But here's the good news: you're looking at a single wedding anniversary gift themes to shape your shopping and gift buying. Those themes are:
- 36: antiques
- 37: books
- 38: luck
- 39: laughter
With these four themes in mind, I've suggested some gifts to get by year that are personalized and could work as a present for him, for her, for a couple, for parents or grandparents, or anyone else you know celebrating their 36th, 37th, 38th or 39th wedding anniversary.
The theme for a 36th anniversary is antiques. If you can't get out to an antiques store to shop, a site like Etsy can help bring the antiques to you, such as the Antique Silver Filigree Art Deco Earrings shown here.
In fact, when you search "antiques" on Etsy, you'll get more than 2 million results in a variety of categories. This includes home and living, jewelry, art and collectibles, books, clothing and much more.
Books are the theme for a 37th anniversary. Sure, you can buy books from a major retailer, but why not support a small business if you can? I've become a huge fan of Bookshop.org. It's a website that links hundreds of small bookstores around the country and gives them an ecommerce platform. Every book I've bought this year has been from Bookshop.org.
The theme of a 38th anniversary is luck. So, why not think about lucky gifts or gifts of something or a symbol that represents luck. It could be a four-leaf clover or a wishbone, like the 14 karat gold necklace shown here from Etsy.
41-44 Anniversaries Gift Themes and Ideas
When you've reached your marriage milestone of being married for 41, 42, 43 and 44 years, first of all, congratulations! That's a long time to be married. Not many couples reach these milestons.
At the same time, it gets more challenging to find unique gifts to give each other or someone you know. But here's the good news: you're looking at a single wedding anniversary gift themes to shape your shopping and gift buying for years 41-44. That's because the traditional gift theme and the modern gift them are the same.
Those themes or symbols are:
- 41 anniversary: office
- 42 anniversary: clocks or watches
- 43 anniversary: entertainment
- 44 anniversary: electronics
With these four themes in mind, I've suggested some gifts to get by year that are personalized and could work as a present for him, for her, for a couple, for parents or grandparents, or anyone else you know celebrating their 41st, 42nd, 43rd or 44th wedding anniversary.
The theme for a 41st anniversary gift--both modern and traditional--is office. You can take this broad notion in many different ways. But given our current context, let's focus on a home office--even if the gift recipient isn't working full-time anymore.
Every home these days seems to have a home office space or nook. So why not buy something that can enhance that home office, such as this writing desk from Walmart.com.
The theme for the 42nd wedding anniversary is the gift of clocks or watches. If the people celebrating being married for 42 years haven't yet upgraded to smart watches, this would be the perfect anniversary to give them something like this Apple Watch Series 6.
The modern and traditional gift theme for a 43rd wedding anniversary is the gift of entertainment. Easy gift idea? Tickets to some kind of entertainment--Broadway show, Las Vegas spectacle, favorite band in concert--that is, if live entertainment is something you're doing right now.
What's a close second? The gift of entertainment that you can enjoy at home. You could go for the gift of Amazon Prime, which would give them instant access to movies and TV shows they can stream at home, plus over a million songs and hundreds of playlists.
Another way to enjoy entertainment at home: artwork that represents the gift recipient's favorite entertainment, such as this "Jaws" movie poster I found on Etsy. There are plenty of vendors on that platform selling movie posters.
The modern and traditional theme for 44th anniversary gifts is electronics. You could always buy the person something new that's electronic, like a TV.
I like putting a twist on the traditional--or modern--gift, such as this Scosche Cup Mount and Power Hub for Mobile Devices aka electronics. It allows the gift recipient a convenient place to put their phone in the car and charge it at the same time.
Use the code SCOSCHE25 on Scosche.com to save 25% on your purchase. FYI, I have a Scosche heart rate monitor, which is fantastic. So I can vouch for this company making and selling quality goods.
50th Wedding Anniversary Gift Ideas
Everyone knows that a couple celebrating 50 years of marriage are celebrating their golden wedding anniversary. That's a huge milestone to reach.
However, you don't have to buy gaudy golden things as a themed gift. As I've said before, I like to shop on Etsy for unique gift ideas. Here are a few I found recently that would work beautifully for golden anniversary gifts for parents or grandparents. Plus, a few ideas that don't take themselves too seriously.
