Some of us have had to carry a few extra pounds since the pandemic, while some of us have only recently  found out that we aren’t very tolerant of certain foods. Many people deal with chronic allergies, some finding out until much later in life. Some might just be curious about their body’s inner workings. Everlywell has developed an at-home allergy test  that can determine whether or not  you react poorly to certain food. This product is taking the #3 spot in today’s top movers and has gone from selling 63 units per day to 106 units per day in the past two weeks.

Now that certain states are coming off quarantine, everyone can’t wait to go outside and return to the old normal. But certain pandemic activities are bound to stick, like going out for a hike or a trail! HydroFlask water bottles are the perfect pairing for any outdoor activities, and they have fun hues, customizable lids, and free real estate for decorative stickers. The popularity of this product has caused products like the one below to benefit, selling from 931 units to 990 units in the last few days. 



Whether you’re an influencer and are just getting ready to post photos of yourself relaxing on an array of pool floats on Instagram, or just a kid waiting to use the pool during summer, Amazon sellers have you covered. Also, it seems that access to swimming pools this year will not be as restricted as last year, so Amazon buyers have already chosen pool floats to be their next checkout item. Products related to this keyword have drastically sold 116 units in the past few days. 

We’re still trying to figure out why “Gas Cans” is among the hottest keywords in today’s top movers list. Do you think it has something to do with states coming off quarantine? Are we headed towards an apocalyptic Mad Max-esque future? Reply to this email and tell us what you think.

Happy selling,
