1. A lawn repair formula designed to reverse scorch marks, pet urine spots, and wear in high-traffic areas of your lawn. If the winter weather wrecked havoc on your grass, this will reverse the damage in time for your first summer barbecue.
Promising review: "I used this in the spring to fill out our lawn more, and it worked great! I was worried because I feel like you always hear grass seed horror stories, but I just raked our lawn well, spread seeds all over, and watered it once (sometimes twice) per day and it filled the lawn in beautifully!" —Mariah
Get it from Amazon for $16.44+ (available in five sizes and four pack sizes).
2. A lightweight quilted jacket reviewers say is super similar to a style that's popular on Free People 👀 — it's made with thick insulated fabric that will still keep you warm when you forget that 50 degrees is actually still pretty chilly because you're so used to it being below freezing.
3. A volcanic stone face roller that'll remove all the oil and shine that appears on your face now that the sun is shining. Reviewers like this option better than oil-blotting sheets because the ball can be popped out and washed, making it a reusable and more sustainable option.
Promising review: "I am so extremely oily. Have been dealing with my oily skin since I was in high school and still dealing with my oily skin in my mid-thirties. The roller worked better than I could have expected and exceeded my expectations. This is life-changing for me!" —Wow
Get it from Amazon for $13.40.
4. A water bottle holder perfect for your #HotGirlWalks (though anyone can do it) because it's specifically designed so you have a place to keep your water upright and ready for when you need a sip. There's also a front zippered pocket and three elastic pouches on the other sides to hold all your essentials including your phone, earbuds, wallet, and most importantly...snacks.
I own this bag and used it so much last spring and summer. It's the perfect accessory if you're heading out on a walk and want to make sure you have some water with you. The main pocket holds my Hydro Flask perfectly and ensures that it doesn't tip or spill. The other pockets are super spacious and can hold a lot. I actually used the bag multiple times at music festivals because I was able to keep my phone, keys, and wallet in the outside pockets and have a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated in the heat. Reviewers say this is also super useful for commuting to the gym and even taking on vacation!
Promising review: "Now I can take my water bottle on my daily dog walks. I needed something that kept my hands free and this bag is perfect. There are so many pockets so I have a place for my hand sanitizer, hand lotion, phone, and doggy waste bags." —Alex L.
Get it from Calpak for $42 (available in eight colors and patterns).
5. A bottle of Isle of Paradise's Self-Tanning Drops if your skin's been looking a little rough since it's been inside 90% of winter. Just mix a couple of drops in with your moisturizer, and you'll get a nice little sun-kissed glow, without the sun.
Promising review: "Sun-kissed glow is right! Nothing but compliments the first time I tried it! I used two drops with my moisturizer and it went on smoothly, and washed off of my hands leaving no streaks. I have already recommended to several friends and family! I like that the ‘light’ drops don’t make my face look orange. Just enough that I can wash my face, and it doesn’t completely fade and I can build from there each time I moisturize. I use two to four drops at a time, and it works great!" —LLHains
Get it from Sephora for $32 or Amazon for $30.40 (available in three shades at both retailers).
6. A running belt that'll hold your keys and any other necessities you need when hit the streets to get some miles in now that it's still light past 5 p.m.
Promising review: "I’m a runner and a big problem in the past has been where to put the phone and other items! I do have another item similar that I can have for my longer runs as it comes with two bottles, but for all my normal runs, this item is the best! After a few seconds, I forget it’s even on! Haha I highly recommend for runners, it’s a must have! It will change your runs forever. :) There are many pockets and a lot of different ways you can store it. I even tried to grab my bottle from my other one and see if it fits and works with this item, and it worked great! It's very high quality and it looks like it will last a really long time!" —Anjali
Get it from Amazon for $34+ (available in sizes XXS–XXL and in 13 colors).
7. A magnetic purse hanger designed to hold up to 8 pounds so you can keep your pricy bag from touching the ground, which is always pretty gross but especially now that you'll probably be dining outside more!
Bagnet is a woman-owned small biz that sells magnetic bag holders and phone slings.
Promising review: "This is the best bag holder ever! I was completely blown away, the magnet is SO strong. Works in so many places: in restrooms (try the hinges if the door isn't metal), at restaurants (on tables, chairs, even under the table), at the gym to hold my water bottle and keys so they don't end up on the floor. But my absolute favorite place to use it is on my car! I can attach it to the side of my car while I unlock it without having my hands full and leaving me vulnerable. If you have ever felt nervous trying to fumble with all your stuff while trying to unlock your doors in a dark parking lot, you need this! My only regret is that I didn't know about it sooner. I am going to get one for everyone in my life for Christmas. Any person who carries a bag should have one (or two). Seriously, it's life changing." —robert rodriguez
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in 21 styles).
8. A Takeya cold brew maker because it is ~offically~ iced coffee season. You may get the itch every day around 3 p.m. to head out to buy some ice coffee, but you can just make a whole batch at home and have it ready in the fridge. Head outside for a walk around the block for some fresh air instead. You wallet with thank you.
Plus, it's so easy to make! Just add six tablespoons of your favorite coffee in the filter, fill it with water, and let it sit in your fridge for 24 hours. Then just take the filter out of the pitcher and enjoy your coffee!
Promising review: "Umm, this has changed my life. I love cold brew so much but was sick of spending so much at cafes or going to Target every week to pick up Chameleon cold brew concentrate (which is my favorite store bought brand). I bought this and have been brewing Stone Street course ground cold brew blend per the instructions. It is perfect! Tastes just like the ones I buy for 5+ dollars elsewhere, and I get the added benefit of full customization in terms of strength/how concentrated. The jug is easy to clean, easy to use, and shatter-proof. I would recommend it. :)" —KC
Get it from Amazon for $21.09+ (available in two sizes).

9. A pack of DressWeights designed to prevent you from having a Marilyn Monroe moment when you decide to wear a dress and don't realize it's super windy outside. 🙈
Dress Strong is a woman-owned small business based in New York City. The weights are reusable and the adhesive on the back should last for about six uses (with proper care).
Promising review: "This is the best thing I have ever bought. I cannot recommend it enough. I live in the UK, and you know British weather. I always wear dresses to work, and it's always a problem on the train platform with the wind. OMG what a life changer. I got to work and just started telling it to all my coworkers, and I told all of my friends. Honestly, do yourself a favor and buy this. Oh, and it doesn't ruin the fabric, and it's so easy to change from different dresses, and it stays on. Yes, I absolutely recommend it." —Fabia Moizao
Get one set from Dress Strong on Etsy for $15.
10. Black Girl sunscreen guaranteed to go on completely sheer, so you don't end up with that milky residue on your skin that never seems to blend in. The sunscreen is infused with jojoba and avocado to hydrate your skin while also protecting it from the harmful rays.
Promising review: "I used to dread wearing sunscreen because of that horrible ashy cast it gave my brown skin. Now? I actually look forward to putting this stuff on. I love how moisturizing it is and that it is completely sheer. What it is advertised to do it actually does. I layer this on top of my moisturizer. You do need to work it in a little bit but it absorbs into the skin nicely. To all my brown/Black ladies/fellas, what are you waiting for? Buy it!" —MD
Get it from Target for $15.99.
11. A weed removal tool designed with a super sharp head to help you remove even the most stubborn of weeds. The long, easy-to-hold handle makes it so everyone (even those with limited mobility) can remove all those annoying weeds that pop up in their yard every spring.
Skidger is a small business founded by Gloria Schultz. She spent countless hours wedding in her family's garden as a child and realized there had to be a better way to remove weeds. After explaining to her step father what she thought might work, he designed this genius tool.
Get it from Skidger for $49.95.
12. A lace garter built specifically to hold up to 2 pounds, so you can keep all the essentials with you (i.e. phone, credit card, headphones, lipstick, etc.) when you wear a dress that isn't designed with pockets and you want to keep everything safe. Reviewers also say this works great to hold insulin pumps while wearing dresses!
This was created by a woman-run small business started by a celebrity stylist.
Promising review: "This was the BEST! I had an outdoor party. All through setup and the party I got to keep my phone and various other things with me without having to do that hand phone/drink/etc. juggling thing. I kept receipts and cash safe in the lock flap pocket. It didn't budge through the hot sweaty setup and party! This thing is awesome! I followed the instruction videos and never had to mess with it again. I can't wait to take this thing running, to do Black Friday shopping, to a game. So many problems solved!" —pineypalm
Get it from Amazon for $39 (available in women's sizes S–L and in seven colors).
13. Some Miracle-Gro spikes here to make everyone think you're the best plant parent around when in reality you can't remember the last time you watered your plant babies. Was it last Wednesday? No, maybe Tuesday? What are days anymore??? These discreet sticks go into the dirt of your plant and feed them micronutrients for up to two months, leaving them looking beautiful and adding life to your home.
Promising review: "I have several houseplants that had stopped flowering, so I put a few of these spikes in the pot (there are directions on the back of package for quantity), and approximately a month after using these spikes, my peace lily had three flowers on it, and my African violet plants all got several blooms on them! This worked wonders for my plants that don't flower also! I noticed that my ivy and cactus plants started growing faster, and they became more green and healthy looking. I am very happy with this product, and I will buy it again." —Elizabeth
Get a 48-pack from Amazon for $3.62.
14. A natural foot balm featuring a mix of beeswax, cocao butter, coconut oil, olive, oil, jojoba oil, castor oil, and essential oils to give your dry, cracked, and calloused feet some instant relief before you slip them into a pair of sandals. Roll this all over your heels and ball of your foot after a shower or bath for the best results.
This Maine-based small biz specializes in handmade natural skincare products including the foot balm, as well as serums, creams, and more.
Promising review: "Very cute and handy packing. It is like lip balm for your feet. I like how I don't have to use my fingers while applying this on my feet. Generally most foot creams and balms come in jars, and putting them on my feet leaves my fingers oily, which then transfers onto my laptop or phone screen...ugghh. But this Hoof Healer is completely mess free. I have used it only twice till now, and I already notice a massive difference in my heels. Fully recommended. Thank you so much, Kristin, for the beautiful product and phenomenal customer service. :D" —Shai
Get it from Pickle's Potions on Etsy for $12+ (available in two materials and three scents).
15. And a foot file if it's been a little bit too long since you got your last pedicure. This will scrape off all the dead skin and calluses to make your feet soft and smooth again. Sandal season better watch out because here you come!
Promising review: "AMAZING!!! Seriously beyond impressed with this product. I've never had dry or cracked heels until recently and I've tried everything I could find to get rid of them! This is all you need!!! I literally opened the box and did this in less than a minute! I'll never use anything else! Even better than professional pedicures!!!" —Kyla Jackson
Get it from Amazon for $9.95.
16. A heatless curling rod headband, a great option for anyone who wants perfectly coiled hair without having to spend any time in the morning with a curling iron. Get out and enjoy that sunshine! Simply wrap your hair around the headband before you go to bed, and you'll wake up to big curls. (Sans heat damage!)
The set includes a curling rod, two hair scrunchies, a claw hair clip, and two duckbill hair clips to set it in place. You can use this on all hair types, but reviewers say it works best when used with damp hair!
Promising review: "Before purchasing, I’d seen a lot of reviews and tutorials on TikTok showing the results. My hair is thick, coarse, and naturally wavy, so I figured this might be a good alternative to rollers that are time-consuming to put in, difficult to sleep in, and ultimately not worth it. And MAN was I right to be hopeful. Wrap pieces of damp hair around it before bed, the tighter the wrap, the tighter the curl. Easy to sleep in since there’s nothing on the back of your head, and my curls are BOUNCY the next morning. My only complaint is that it doesn’t help give any top-volume, but nothing some teasing can’t fix. 10/10. I’ll never go back to a curling iron." —Mariah
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in six colors).
17. A set of sunscreen reminder stickers that will let you know when it's time to reapply sunscreen so you don't get burnt. These helpful little things are waterproof and made to last for up to 12 hours (and six sunscreen applications). If the sticker is clear, you're in the clear (aka, your sunscreen is working), but as soon as the sticker turns purple, it's time to reapply. Then after you do, it will turn back to clear.
Promising review: "After yet another bad sunburn even though I'm trying VERY HARD to keep sunscreen on, I bought these. First use was at Disneyland on a 90-degree zero clouds day. This helped so much! I kept an eye (as did my friends) on the dot, so we all knew when to reapply sunscreen and not one of us got burned. I also used these on a weeklong hiking adventure in Utah where it was also in the 90s with an extreme UV index. None of us got burned, so all in all this is one of the best inventions!" —Catherine Shock
Get a 32-count from Amazon for $25.99.
18. And a sunburn soother if you do end up getting a little too much sun. It's made with aloe and coconut oil you should probably just have on hand for that sunny day when it doesn't seem warm enough to burn (but actually is). You'll be so thankful to have this waiting for you when you get home.
Promising review: "I bought this product to take on our vacation. I am so glad I did. I got burnt on my lower legs and tops of my feet. I though I had put enough sunscreen on. I didn't. That night I woke with my legs and feet both burning and itching. The instant I put this on I had relief. OMG I cannot say enough about this stuff. Buy it. Keep it on hand. Great product. Thank you, Burt's Bees!" —D.S.
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
19. A microfiber towel pillowcover, a must-have if you have to switch up your shower routine from the morning to the evening to get all the pollen and dust off of you before you go to bed. The shower will help with your allergies, and the cover will protect your hair and pillow so you can sleep soundly.
Kitsch is a woman-founded company that specializes in hair accessories and tools to make every day a good hair day!
Promising review: "Absolutely love this product. I have been waiting for something like this. So ideal for wet hair after showering. Keeps the product in your hair from absorbing into your pillow case. Game changer!" —RR
Get it from from Amazon for $23.99.
20. Some reusable heel inserts here to save the day when you decide to wear those super cute floral flats that are just *perfect* for spring. Sure, they look super cute but they may not be as comfortable as your broken-in winter boots. These fit right into the heel and make sure your shoes are actually comfortable enough to walk in for longer than 10 minutes.
You get two nude, one black, and one clear insert sets.
Promising review: "I bought some adorable flats online for a great price. Boy, did they rub my heels raw the first time I wore them. I tried to break them in by stretching them, etc. Still rubbed my heels raw. I thought I’d give these a go before giving up on the shoes altogether. Amazing! I wore my flats for several hours today. No pain. No raw skin." —Kip Karter
Get a mixed pack of four from Amazon for $14.95.
21. An inflatable lounge chair for when you want to go hang out in the park or beach but realize the ground is not a great place to lounge. The chair weighs less than three pounds, is easy to fill, and super comfortable (according to reviewers).
Promising review: "What a brilliant idea! This chair is super compact and lightweight, and EXTREMELY easy to inflate. You don't need any pumps, and you don't need to blow it up with your breath, yet it inflates in a few seconds. All you have to do is spin your body 360 degrees once while holding the chair out. It really is that easy and it really works! What's more, the chair holds the air in — no leaking — for days, and it is incredibly comfy!!!! I have a very bad back and almost no chairs are comfortable for me to sit on, but this chair is amazingly comfortable. It creates no pressure points you because it is filled with air. You can sit upright on it or lounge on it, depending on how much air you put in and where you place your tush. I thought there had to be a catch, and that it would be difficult to fold up again and get back into the carrying case, but it wasn't. My only advice is to cut off the attached metal bottle opener, as that could hit someone and hurt them when you spin around to fill up the chair." —Elizabeth Schiff
Get it from Amazon for $38.99 (available in two colors).
22. An ultra-fine SPF mist about to change the way you apply sunscreen forever. You can spritz this on super easily no matter where you are, even during a picnic in the park. It goes over makeup no problem, so you'll actually remember to reapply every two hours while outside.
The spray is made by a NYC-based small business! You'll smell notes of rose geranium and lavender and rosemary with every spritz. It's also vegan, cruelty-free!
Promising review: "I LOVE this sunscreen. It smells AMAZING and the mist is SO fine that you don’t feel it on your skin at all. The bottle is small enough that you can reapply all day by keeping it in your bag. My partner has started to steal it, too, so now we’re a Habit household." —Habit Customer
Get it from Habit for $27.
23. A touchless stationary vacuum to revolutionize the way you sweep because you'll never had to deal with a flimsy dustpan again. All you have to do is sweep the debris toward the vacuum, and it will instantly suck it up for you. Spring cleaning has never been easier!!
An indicator light will turn on to let you know that the canister is full, and then you can remove the canister and dump the debris in the trash.
Promising review: "Chore? What chore? Sweeping becomes fun! This is a game changer for everyone, but especially for those tired of bending over with a dustpan! My whole large first floor is hardwood. That’s a back breaker for sweeping and using a dustpan. The EyeVac has been the BEST home 'gadget' I’ve ever invested in. It has incredible suction. It's easy to turn on when I get to sweeping. And there is an indicator light for when it is full and needs to be emptied. Brilliant. It’s small enough to have out and designed well enough to look at and not wonder why some appliance is left out. I’m so very happy with the EyeVac." —Nancy Cowan
Get it from Amazon for $129 (available in eight colors).
24. A portable blender because there's something about warm weather that just makes a smoothie sound extra delicious. And when you have this one, you can make one in seconds anywhere. Yep, you read that right, *anywhere*. No need to spend $15 on a smoothie when you can ~whip~ one up wherever you are.
This 14-ounce jar is dishwasher-safe and charges with a USB. Plus, it's quiet, so you don't have to worry about annoying the people around it when you use it.
Promising review: "This portable blender is a total game changer for me. I love how easy it works, that it is portable, and how quickly it blends. I am going to be taking this with me daily. I'm so excited and happy with my purchase! I put in cucumber, banana, raspberries, almond milk, and protein powder, and it blended up smoothly. The only tip would be to make sure you put the powder in the center so it doesn't stick to the sides but that's with any blender. Happy customer!" —Tara
Get it from Amazon for $31.44 (available in six colors).
25. A sinus rinse bottle for anyone who suffers from seasonal allergies. All you have to do is hold it up to your nose and let the water flow from one nostril through your nose and out the other. It'll flush out the gunk clogging up your sinuses and help you breathe easier.
Not only do you get the bottle but also three nozzles (two for adults and one for kids) and a 30-pack of nasal wash salt packs. Read more about nasal rinses and allergies at Mayo Clinic.
Promising review: "I love the design of this. Very practical and easy to use/clean. If you haven't used a Neti pot before, the first time is a lot like getting dunked in a swimming pool. You have to learn to relax your nasal passage and become accustomed to the water flowing from one nostril into your sinuses then out the other nostril. It is all gravity fed, so obviously lean your head heavily to reduce the amount that ends up flowing into your mouth.
By your second attempt, this becomes easy. After a week of using this, I noticed my ear canals clearer even. The first use left my nose clean and clear. Seriously, if you are suffering with congestion/allergens, try this (or another neti pot) out. It is simple logic. Flush your entire nasal path, reduce allergens. Nothing fancy, just cleaning your pipes." —Matthew Martin
Get it from Amazon for $13.85.
26. A pack of sweat-wicking bra liners made from cotton and bamboo to absorb the dreaded under-boob sweat that appears as soon as the temperature starts to rise outside. Reviewers confirm the liners are comfortable, don't smell, and provide sweet, sweet relief!
Promising review: "All of you large-breasted people out there, hear me and hear me good! You need these! Don't argue, don't whine, just buy a package of these and enjoy the relief! They are soft and stay in place. I barely notice it at all, and most importantly, they have made under-boob sweat a thing of the past. No more heat rashes or icky moisture under the gals, just sweet relief and easy wash-ability! Buy them now — you'll be so very glad that you did!" — Munkykween
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $14.99 (available in sizes M-XXL and in eight styles).
27. An exfoliating scrub mitt useful for removing all the excess dead skin and particles on your skin that regular soap doesn't get to. If your legs haven't seen sunlight since last fall, this mitt will help them really enjoy the fresh air when you throw on a spring dress.
Plus, it's also great for removing self-tanner and can reduce ingrown hairs while also increasing circulation.
Promising review: "My skin is 100% softer and feels far smoother thanks to this product!!! The difference was noticeable after ONE use, its true. All the grime, rolled up skin, flakes and chucks — shudder, that was on me??? All the other customers are saying how disgusting it is when you see how much dead skin sloughs off, and that is true. I disagree that it only comes off after the first use though — I have continued to see improvement over the time I've used it, about 6 weeks, and even some age-related and sun damage discoloration is gone. These are the BEST, a MUST-HAVE, holy grail exfoliating mittens. I DEFINITELY recommend this! Did I say I recommend this 100%? I do!" — Kindle Customer. g'ma
Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (also available in a set of two).
28. A pair of anti-chafing bands that not only look pretty great, but also do an amazing job of protecting your thighs when you wear dresses and skirts without tights. 🙌
Promising review: "These things are amazing. Measure your thighs and buy them. Now. They are life-changing and thigh-saving. Cool enough to wear in the summer, though I would recommend only wearing them for like six hours the first few times. I went HAM and wore them for 12 hours in the middle of August, and I had a small welt on one thigh. No biggie, went away after a day or two. If your thighs even kiss each other, BUY THESE." —Kelsy
Get a pair from Amazon for $20.69+ (available in women's sizes S–3X and in 17 styles).
Plus, check out BuzzFeed's video review of Bandellettes anti-chafing thigh bands (and a few other things to help chafing) here.
29. Or some anti-chafe balm for anyone who deals with chafing on more areas than just their thighs. The balm looks like deodorant but will easily glide on any part of your body and protect it as you go about your day. Don't let chafing stop you from soaking up every last bit of spring that you can. (We've been hibernating inside for too long now.)
Promising review: "This stuff really is awesome. It really works and I don't know where it has been all my life. I started looking for something for thigh chafing after running into a few issues (not fun). It is super easy to use, just slide it on like you'd use deodorant." —SweetPea
Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (also available in an anti-blister balm).
30. A portable car vacuum, a must-have for car owners who become the designated driver to the park and beach as soon as the temperature hits 60 degrees. No need to apologize to your friends for your messy car anymore. This vacuum is only 2.4 lbs, comes with three different-sized attachments, and plugs into your vehicle's 12-V Aux outlet.
Promising review: "This portable vacuum is ammmmmazing! I love all of the attachments to get the hard to reach spots! It gets the job done! TikTok made me buy it! If you are on the fence about this one, do it! Hit that "buy now" button. You will not be disappointed. Never putting quarters in a timed vacuum again. There is never enough time, and you rush around trying to beat the timer. Or is that just me? Haha!" —Abigail
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in three colors).

31. Some Fur Oil ready to tackle many of the semi-embarrassing skin issues you've been covering with long pants and sweaters. It helps clear pores, minimize ingrown hairs and bumps, and can even reduce razor burn. You can use it ALLL over your body (yes, even your pubic hair) so you're ready to slip on that new suit you've been waiting (not-so) patiently to wear.
Fur is a woman-owned small business you may have seen on Shark Tank. Their products are made with vegan, cruelty-free, and non-toxic ingredients.
Promising review: "This is one of the best purchases I’ve made. I am an African American woman with very curly hair. I love getting waxed but had the worst hair bumps. I discovered this product. Its directions are to use once every day after taking a shower and drying off and the hair bumps were gone after two days. The bottle is small, but I can’t go without it now. It’s the only thing that has worked for me. I highly recommend." —ambr78709
Get it from Amazon for $26 (also available in a 75ml size).
32. Or a bottle of Tend Skin Solution to help reduce razor bumps and ingrown hairs from shaving. If you've been avoiding eye contact with your razor while in the shower for a while now, this will be a huge help in the coming weeks and months. Just apply a thin layer after your shave to help improve your skin.
Promising review: "This product is a lifesaver, simply amazing!! My before picture (above) is from two months ago without using Tendskin after shaving. That’s how bad my thighs used to get two to three days after shaving. I used to cry so much because EVERYTHING hurt my thighs, including my silk covers. As you can see, it’s a tremendous difference in the after picture. Although I still have scars, my shaving doesn’t bring tears to my eyes anymore. It’s helped with razor bumps, ingrown hairs, dark spots, and my sensitivity to denim." —Kim
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two sizes).
33. Some odor eliminators you can put in any of your shoes (from hiking boots to sandals) and remove the smells that come with wearing them outside now that the temperature is above freezing.
The charcoal bag has no smell and absorbs excess moisture to prevent mold, mildew, and bacteria from forming on your clothes and in your bag. You can use them for up to two years, but you should put them outside in the sun for an hour once a month so they can ~rejuvenate~.
Promising review: "I bought these for my son's smelly golf shoes. The high school boy's team plays in spring, so there's lots of cold, wet weather. His shoes were so bad they smelled up my whole car! These seem to help dry them out, and they don't stink so bad now." —pamelann
Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.90.
34. A Hairbrella small enough to fold up and keep in your purse so you never get caught out and about when a rainstorm hits and you know it's going to ruin your hair. The satin-lined hat also protects against snow, humidity, wind, and anything else mother nature decides to send your way.
Hairbrella is a Black-owned small business that has been creating fashionable hats that protect hair from all kinds of weather since 2016.
Promising review: "It’s lightweight, compact, and easily stored until I need it. It often gets wind sucked into it, which doesn’t create the best look. But for someone who HATES umbrellas, it’s been a game changer!" —Raymona Ellison
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in six colors).
35. A compact air purifier complete with a three-stage filtration system to keep the air in your home free of dust, smoke, pollen, mold, pet hair, and more. If you suffer from seasonal allergies, this can help you breathe easier and feel better in your own home.
Promising review: "This little machine really works!! I used it all spring and summer when allergies were high, and it made such a difference. Great side effect I didn't expect was it also reduced dog odor from wet dog being in the house. I am very, very pleased and would highly recommend it. I turned the light off so I can sleep when it is in my room, and the sound is very low when it is running." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $69.99+ (available in black and white).
36. A pair of Sorel waterproof sneakers for anyone who just doesn't want to ever wear a pair of rain boots again. Not only are these shoes made to be waterproof, but they also have extra grip on the soles to keep you from slipping during downpours. And as an added bonus: they're stylish enough to wear every single day, even when it's not raining.
Promising review: "These shoes are amazing. I bought them for my trip to Italy, and they have been so helpful to have. My feet have not hurt after walking 20,000 steps. They are completely waterproof after walking in pouring rain and puddles. I highly recommend. Practical and stylish." –Caitlin

37. Some allergy relief eye drops, or in other words, your new bff now that the pollen levels are off the charts. Just put one drop in each eye, and you'll get a full 24 hours of relief.
Promising review: “I live in the mid-Atlantic region where pollen is bad April through June. Despite having an air purifier, washing my hands regularly, changing and washing my linens regularly, etc., I still struggle with itchy, watery eyes and blurry vision. This eye drop is THE BEST! One drop in each eye is plenty. Best for severe allergies.” —ESB

38. A pack of heel stoppers so you don't have to swap out the shoes that match perfectly with your dress when you find out the spring wedding you're invited to will be outside. These will prevent your heels from sinking in the grass and getting ruined! Be ready though because people might think you're magic when they see you walking through grass in stilettos.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly says, "When my friend asked me to be a bridesmaid and I learned I'd be walking on grass for the ceremony, I got a bit worried. What's a klutz with a high center of gravity to do while trying not to 1) fall down in front of approximately 150 guests or 2) keel over while quietly stifling tears during her friends' vows? Buy some Heel Stoppers, that's what! I was able to easily slip them onto the glitter-encrusted heels (and later remove them with no damage to the heels).
On the day of the ceremony, these sturdy pieces of plastic made the heels much easier to walk in and prevented me from aerating the lawn. My feet still hurt to high heavens because those gorgeous shoes don't have a lot of support for a seldom-stiletto-wearer like me. Out of all the dough I spent on my bridesmaid ensemble, these were the biggest bang for my buck!"

39. A pair of beaded fan pull extenders making it incredibly easy for you to know which chain is for the light and which is for the fan. Plus, the chains add over a foot of length to your existing pulls, so you don't have to grab a ladder just to turn the fan on. You'll be very thankful for this on those spring days when it's warm outside but not quite hot enough to turn on the air conditioning.
Promising review: "This is the definition of "product you didn't know you needed because you didn't know it existed." I was FOREVER pulling the wrong chain on our bedroom ceiling fan. (Want the light off? Oh no... now the fan's on high. Need to change the fan speed? Eek... now you're in the dark.) They're a much better quality than I expected. They're actually quite heavy-duty pull chains, and they add a bit of fun to the decor. (When you notice them — most of the time, who even things about a ceiling fan pull chain?) As an added bonus, my infant daughter loves staring at them while I change her diaper or jammies. I tap them to make the chains swing, and it's instant fascination, which helps make my job easier!" —LHD

40. A microfiber window blind cleaner designed with three blades that clean the top and bottom of two blinds at once. It'll pick up all the dust you hadn't really realized had been casually sitting in your home all winter long.
The cleaner also comes with five microfiber duster clothes.
Promising review: "Where has this blind cleaner been for the past 50 years???? I have struggled to keep my blinds clean for so many years and happily found this item. It WORKS!!! And I love that it comes with extra sleeves, and the sleeves are machine washable. The handle is plastic, but I feel confident it won't break any time soon." —marionvgt
