With 2022 coming to a close, we’re taking a look at what Select readers found most interesting this year. Unsurprisingly, Covid-19 remained top of mind for many people and our updated guides on how to shop for KN95 face masks, disposable face masks, at-home Covid test kits and more reflected this sustained interest. Likewise, readers also gravitated toward a variety of wellness and hygiene items such as electric toothbrushes, water flossers, and period underwear. Additionally, as in years past, skin care items like SPF lip balms and face moisturizers for dry skin reigned supreme. Some newer shopping trends for Select readers included meal-kit delivery services, including prepared meal delivery services, gluten-free meal delivery services and vegetarian and vegan meal delivery services.
Below are 20 of the bestselling products we covered in 2022, outside of the most popular deals we covered during tentpole sales events like Prime Day, Prime Early Access Sale, Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
