Disclosure: I received complimentary products to facilitate my post and promotion. Regardless, all opinions are my own and those of my family.
Product of the Year USA was established 29 years ago and now operates in 42 countries with the goal of guiding consumers to the best products on the shelf while also rewarding manufacturers for quality and innovation. The winning products are selected through the votes of over 40,000 consumers in a national representative survey each year conducted by research partner TNS, which is a global leader in consumer research.
Product of the Year takes submissions of innovative products launched within the previous year which are then divided into categories. One product is then named the winner of that category based on the survey results.
OK, so are you ready to find out who won??

My Experience with the 2016 Product of the Year Award Winners

I had the opportunity to review some of the 2016 Product of the Year Award Winners. For my review I received a random assortment of products (as well as coupons for some of the perishable food items) in a fabulous bag. I was definitely excited to check them out and see if I may have some new favorites!

Do you know what is really neat? I actually hadn’t tried any of these products yet, so it was fun to have the opportunity to try them! As an eco-friendly consumer, though, I was definitely hoping to see more eco-friendly products this year.
Some of my favorites from the products I received were the Milk-Bone® Good Morning™ Daily Vitamin Treats (OK, well, I guess they’re technically our dog’s favorite, but I love that they are a daily vitamin she enjoys!), the Skinny Cow Creamy Iced Coffee, CLEAR CARE® PLUS (I’ve seen a huge difference in my contacts!), and the kids, of course, loved the candy. OK, I admit, I did, too!

    This is the third year in a row that I have seen this. It seems like the oddest range of products, and a battery wins ‘sustainability’? Very strange.

    • Emilee says

      It is definitely interesting how they break it up. Yes, I hadn’t even seen the new Eco-friendly batteries before. I’m glad to see it’s an area that they’re working on!

  3. Wanda McHenry says

    I have enjoyed the Product of the Year list these past couple of years. I have tried a few and agree with their picks and hope to try some more in the future.

  4. Melissa S says

    There are a lot of great products this year. I love Tide products and can understand how more than one of them made the list.

  7. Gina Ferrell says

    I have tired some of the products and totally agree! I would love to try some that I haven’t tired yet in the coming weeks.

  8. Tamra Gibson says

    I have to say they got it right! !! The one item that sticks out for me is the Tide. I have tried many others but, for some reason Tide works best for us

    I agree that most of these products are worthy of being Product of the Year! I really can’t vouch for all if I haven’t tried them. I have used a bunch of the products, like Tide, Flonase, the Softlips lip balm, etc. and I agree that they are product of the year worthy! Not just this year either.
