This month, Product of the Year USA announced their list of 2016 winners. Every year, 40,000 consumers vote for which products they think are the standouts in a variety of categories from home and food to beauty and pet care. The top products in each category are then named “Product of the Year” for their quality. I reviewed the 2015 winning products last February, and in the year that has passed I have continued to be impressed by them. I still use last year’s winning Yes! razor every day, and I also shared some of the items with friends and family who got great use out of them as well. Suffice to say, I was excited to find out who took the top spots this year! And the winning items for 2016 are:

I had a package from Product of the Year waiting for me when I got back from Chicago, and I was so excited to tear it open and see this year’s winners! Once again, the assortment is fantastic. From awesome hair products to great cleaning items, I’ve been using these all week and am hard pressed to choose just one favorite. Is it the Kleenex that I used up pretty much instantly, thanks to a winter cold bug? The Gold Emblem nuts that we ate the same day I opened the box? The hairspray and leave-in hair repair that have been keeping my locks looking great? The laundry and dish soap that have been cleaning my clothes and plates? Well, guess what, I don’t have to choose because they are ALL winners!
