Amazon is the place to go if you're looking for just about anything! As a small business owner, I have done my fair share of buying lots (and lots!) of things for my shop. Below I've compiled a list of some of my favorite items and what I use them for.
1. Cubes Storage Organizer, 16-Cube Plastic DIY Cabinet Clothes Wardrobe Closet
This cube organizer has been a lifesaver! I have a cat who loves to crawl all over any and everything. These organizers have doors on the front so she can't get in, but they are almost sheer so you can see what's inside your cabinet. In addition to keeping cat hair and dust off your products, the organizer is also customizable! You can build it in whatever shape you want to fit in your space. You can also buy more than one and combine them. Definitely a 10/10 purchase and such a great price too! The organizer is plastic, but I have found it to be pretty sturdy and of good quality.
2. Impact Photo Pro LED Booth 400
The Photobooth is a little bit more costly than most of the things on this list, but I can assure you this is worth every single penny! I would buy this 10 times over again. My best purchase for my small business was hands down this photo booth. Your product photography is taken to the next level. One of the MOST important things when running a business is having high-quality photos. Did you know that a study shows that 93% of consumers consider product photos to be one of the top deciding factors in a purchasing decision? This means photos should be one of your main focuses. I use this photo booth for product pictures, and all my social media photos, and I even use it to film reels and Tik Toks because the lighting is so amazing!

3. Rollo Wireless Shipping Label Printer
Investing in a Rollo Printer is a great idea! This makes things so much easier than trying to print out shipping labels on regular paper. I am sure you all know the struggle of printing a label, wasting your ink and half your paper, cutting it out, and taping it on the package. The Rollo printer is a thermal printer, which means there is NO ink! You never have to worry about running out or having to change a cartridge. This saves you so much money and time in the long run! The ease factor is also extremely appealing. The Rollo printer prints fast and the labels you use are sticky on the back, so you can print and stick in just a matter of a few seconds! Another bonus about the Rollo is that you can use it for multiple other things such as printing your own stickers.
4. T-Shirt Folding Board
Alright, moving into some more affordable accessories for your small business, this is an extremely useful one! If you are a t-shirt business owner, I highly recommend investing in one of these t-shirt folder boards. They are only $10! They save so much time and the t-shirts are folded the exact same way every time, making your shelves look so much more organized and professional. You can even use this when doing your own laundry too! Dual purpose:)
5. Tagging Gun for Clothing
Take your apparel to the next level with this t-shirt tagging gun! I order customs tags from Vista Print, and use this tagging gun to attach them to the tags inside a sweatshirt or t-shirt. This makes it look so professional and legitimate. In my tags I also include the washing instructions, so customers are bound to have to look at my label when removing the clothing tag.
6. Leather Desk Pad Protector, Mouse Pad, Office Desk Mat
Obsessed is an understatement when talking about this giant mouse pad. I got the olive green one and it is SO cute! The mat helps protect the top of my desk since it's tempered glass. It also works great for my mouse. I wasn't a big fan of the mini mouse pads, so I decided to try this for only $13, and I've been so happy with my purchase so far! The pop of color on my desk also helps tie in my room a little more.
