13 Amazing Home Decor Items People Are Still Buying On Amazon!
Yes we are in a recession, but did you know that people are still buying on Amazon?
I logged into my Amazon Associates dashboard recently and to my surprise there were affiliate sales commissions.
I’m not saying that to toot my own horn but, even in the midst of a recession people are still buying on Amazon (at the time of this post).
To my further astonishment, the majority of purchases were not considered essentials.
We are a participant in various affiliate marketing programs and may earn a commission for any purchases made through these links at no extra cost to you. Read full disclosure here.
These Amazon sales ranged from things like home decor, organisers, planners and craft supplies.

For Context
Now if you are a fashion/beauty blogger, you’ll quickly come to terms with this post. Mainly because a lot of us were forced to recreate our content strategy to focus on things that are affecting us right now.

Sadly some of us even came under heavy fire for posting content in the fashion, home decor and beauty niches. Which is unfortunate because while not all of us are full time bloggers, we do rely on our blogs to supplement our incomes.
Not to throw salt at anyone though, because there are far more people who completely understand that blogging is a career for many. Notwithstanding the fact that ad revenues are down and affiliate commissions have taken a hit.

That means, to those persons who relied heavily on those income streams are now taking home less money. Still having to provide and care for themselves, their family members, and still having to find other ways to make a dollar.
So yes we sympathise with those who are facing hardships and have lost their jobs but the world hasn’t come to a halt. The same way we expect some small businesses in our communities to continue serving us.

Wrapping Up 13 Things People Are Buying On Amazon
This concludes my list of the best things that people are still buying on Amazon even during a recession. This is just proof that although things are bad, all hope is not lost.
There are actually some stuff that I have been buying on Amazon, that I don’t know where else I would get them. Sales might be down but others are still buying on Amazon and from other online retailers.
DISCLAIMER:
At the time of this post and in light of the current pandemic I understand that some people are experiencing hardships and unemployment. This post is in no way to persuade anyone to buy, nor am I insensitive to what’s going on globally.
This post is for inspiration purposes and doesn’t imply that you need to shop during a recession. I always try to encourage persons to resist impulse shopping if you don’t really need something.
Most importantly and by all means, utilise what you already have!
