This Amazon Shopping Section is the Secret to Scoring Super Stylish Finds
If you’re the kind of shopper who heads to Amazon with a specific idea in mind of what you’re looking for, you’re not alone. However, a little known secret to finding interesting, more unique items is actually through a portal shown every time you log on. It’s called “Interesting Finds” and is accessed by clicking the “Explore” button at the top of the screen. The suggestions it offers are both functional and fun (and change daily), so get ready for different, surprise items each time you click. More, as you browse you can save items you like into a pinboard of sorts, by tapping the heart icon at the top left corner of the image. We’ve rounded up some of our hearted items below.
