1. Brazilian Bum Bum Cream formulated with caffeine, guarana extract, and coconut oil — all of which work together to tighten and smooth the booty you plan on giving summer this year. You can apply this tropical potion in other areas, too!
Promising review: "I am OBSESSED with Sol De Janeiro's Brazilian line!! I love the scent, from the whole collection. The smell is intoxicating. It smells smooth, calming and soft. It makes me feel as though I'm on vacay, on the sunny beaches of Rio. The Bum Bum cream I have noticed after using it for so long, it does firm/tighten the skin. Not a significant amount, but it is noticeable. Let's be real, this is a cream, not magic. It does leave a very *SUBTLE* sheen/shimmer/glittery affect to your skin that makes it appear to 'sparkle' or 'glow' in the sunlight. It does not contain glitter, but a very, very finely milled micro-glitter." —Jayce

2. A lil' polar bear hydrating eye stick ready to restore your aching eyes with sweet sweet relief. It's blended with Iceland's glacial water to help reduce puffiness, tighten skin, and work on those dark spots.
Promising review: "I have always had serious dark circles and bags under my eyes, and this has really changed this for me. The results are incredible. The puffiness is gone. The dark circles are hardly noticeable. My sensitive skin has not broken out. I never write reviews, but this was so good that I had to write a review. This actually works." —Ben
Get it from Amazon for $9.90.
3. An I Dew Care "Tap Secret" mattifying powder shampoo designed to penetrate to get rid of those greasy roots without the aerosol. Oh, it'll help to restore your volume, too.
Promising review: "I was looking for a dry shampoo that would be easy to use on the go for a trip I was taking. I had no issues taking this through TSA and it was so easy to use on the go. You literally just pat the poof on your scalp and then rub the powder in. I do have black hair so dry shampoo is usually very visible in my hair, but I didn't have any harder time than usual rubbing this powder in. It did a really good job of soaking up all the oil and giving my hair volume. I'm not a fan of the price for the amount that you get, but it is lasting longer than I thought it would. I would definitely recommend and will purchase again." —Teresa

4. Missha's Soft Finish Sun Milk, a long-lasting SPF 50+ protection that can withstand sweat in case you need something to carry you through high pressure days like a chef working on Hulu's The Bear.
In the progression photos above, you can see a reviewer before applying the sun milk, after applying the sun milk, and then the sun milk under makeup.
Promising review: "I have dark, oily skin and purchased this product after reading recommendations. There is no white cast; you can barely see it upon application unless you use too much. You definitely do not need a lot, it spreads thin. When it dries, any color is gone. It also helps slow down my face getting all greasy as the day goes on, which I love. My skin is very, very oily but I can still apply this after my moisturizer and feel totally comfortable. I'm not a fan of scents, and the scent on this is extremely mild." —Ms. Renee
Get it from Amazon for $18.99.
5. A pair of Apple AirPods Pro that'll come in clutch for anyone with a roommate so you don't have to hear them watching RuPaul's Drag Race in the living room and they don't have to hear whatever's being discussed in your All-Hands.
6. An upright Shark vacuum with lift-way capabilities that allows the vacuum to transform to adapt to the task at hand. You might actually have fun the next time you vacuum.
7. A pair of Beckham Hotel Collection pillows for hotel-quality rest from the comfort of your bedroom. Tell room service to come back later.
Promising review: "I’ve been on the hunt to buy a down pillow like the ones I slept on at the top-rated Loews Hotel in Philly. This is that pillow! I’ve bought pillows online many times but nothing compared. This is the first pillow I’ve ever bought that didn’t hurt my neck or make me regret spending the money. I will absolutely be ordering another set! Absolutely the comfiest pillow, you won’t regret it. I never write reviews but just had to because I know the search for pillows is difficult when you can’t feel them. I promise you won’t regret it!" —Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in two sizes and three materials).
8. And some satin pillowcase ready to help your hair maintain moisture and keep your skin from breaking out.
Kitsch is an LA-based, self-financed, woman-owned small business established in 2010 that specializes in hair accessories.
Check out a TikTok of the Kitsch satin pillowcase in action.
Promising review: "I'm really liking this pillow. I woke up today with nice wavy hair, not dry tangled hair. I've been trying to grow out the layer of hair on the top back of my head and it's been so stubborn! Keeps getting tangled and breaks here and there from bleaching and dye damage, but with this new pillow I notice it doesn't tangle, which means it can grow right without rubbing and tangling/pulling! Also the pillow is soft and is so much more prettier in person! 😍😍😍💖💖💖" —Amazon Customer 🌷
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two sizes, 34 colors, and also in packs of two).
9. A Yonanas fruit soft-serve maker just in time for the warmer months so you can craft yourself a yummy frozen treat whenever your heart desires it. Reviewers with dietary restrictions swear by this to give them their ice cream fix.
Promising review: "I saw one of these in action at a friend's house like five years ago and thought it was just a made up memory, because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems wild. But when I saw a TikTok about it I immediately went to Amazon and bought it. Literally this was the BEST decision of my life. I cannot believe still how amazing this thing is! It makes the creamiest, best tasting fruit ice cream ever. It’s easy to take apart and clean, and super easy to use." —DMCKAY
Get it from Amazon for $31.69.
10. A jar of The Pink Stuff which hardly needs an introduction unless you've quite literally been living under a rock. This stuff is the secret weapon to tackling your most difficult cleaning projects.
11. A drain snake complete with five refillable wands to effortlessly dig deep into your drain and pull out a nauseating amount of hair and debris that's probably been clogging up your sink for a while.
12. A pack of four Apple AirTags you can put on your luggage (and pretty much all your other belongings) to keep track of them. It has a simple one-tap setup that'll instantly connect your AirTag with your iPhone or iPad. It also has a built-in speaker to help you find your lost items.
You can also get a single AirTag for only $24.
Promising review: "While on a delayed flight from Newark to Dublin I could see one of my bags was not on the plane. This was great information because when we arrived in Dublin I was able to be the first one in line to file a missing bag claim." —Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $79.99.
13. A 20-pack (!) of extra thick magic cleaning pads reviewers agree is a great swap for the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. These durable cleaning pads put in the extra work so your body doesn't have to. They literally take your dirty jobs and make them disappear. Oh oh oh, it's magic, you know. 🎵✨
Promising reviews: "I use them for cleaning all over my apartment. Brought my semi permanent hair dye-stained tub back to life!" —Hogan
"I went on a four-hour date with these bad boys and my baseboards. It was a great date!! My baseboards are so shiny and the erasers did not scratch my walls or paint when I cleaned the top lip of the baseboards. I can easily cut or tear them in half to get smaller erasers for those nooks and crannies." —Heather C
Psst — check out BuzzFeed's STK cleaning pads review for more deets (and incredible before and after photos).

14. A wood polish that'll breathe new life into your furniture. Now, when people ask if you got new furniture, you can respond with, "You mean this old thing?" And, actually mean it!
15. Some Bissell Stomp 'N Go pads so easy to use, you'll wish you'd thought of them sooner. All you have to do is set the pad down, stomp on it, then toss it. It works on both fresh and set-in stains.
Promising review: "It is actually working! I almost cried when I picked up the first pad!! Some genius builder put white carpet in our condo bedrooms. It's now 15 years old so it's definitely not the original white. We knew we were going to get a dog so we didn’t want to replace it right away though. Well, we rescued a dog that was barely potty trained and she did a number on the carpet. Luckily, the smell didn’t linger, but the stain did. We’ve tried numerous products and none of them helped the stain. The stains are now over a year old. We're waiting until after COVID to replace the carpet but I still wanted it to look nice in the meantime. I was skeptical for sure, but holy goodness it’s working!! You can literally see the rectangle where I used (and moved) the first pad!!!! I have a long way to go, but these pads are nothing short of a miracle! I just wish they were bigger because laying them out looks and feels like we’re laying tiles on the floor. Just buy it. You won’t regret it." —Kimmy
Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $27.49.
16. A carpet stain remover perfect for households filled with littles or even just filled with clumsy people. Just apply, agitate, and blot for instant ~wow-worthy~ results.
17. Clear fridge organizing bins in case you've been wanting to organize your fridge for some time. This set comes with eight organizing bins ready to get you started on your organizational journey. No more random pack of carrots lingering in the back of your fridge unaccounted for.
Promising review: "Ok, I'm a bit of an over-organizer (if there is such a thing). But my refrigerator was seriously lacking in organization. These beauties did the trick. No more fruit rolling around, grapes being crushed, cheese sticks everywhere, cold cuts hiding. I love them. And they make keeping the refrigerator clean easy, pop them out and rinse." —DLWH
Get a set of eight bins from Amazon for $18.99 (also available in other sizes and packs).
18. A foot file for getting those twinkle toes ready to dance under the sun this summer. This foot file will scrape off all the dead skin and calluses to leave you with babysoft tootsies. Now go ahead and add those new sandals to your cart.
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.
19. An Arm & Hammer pooper scooper set that'll make it easy to keep trash and of course ~pet poop~ out of your yard. Rake the debris into the bin (lined with a trash bag) then toss it in the garbage when done. Easy as pie or cake, depending on the dessert you prefer. 😉
20. Kojic Acid Dark Spot Remover Soap, made with hyaluronic acid, shea butter, olive oil, retinol, and turmeric — a magic potion, if you will, that you can use on your face, hands, neck, bikini area, inner thighs, and underarms to even skin tone, and reduce scars and hyperpigmentation, leaving your skin with an even glow.
Promising review: "I got this in hopes of lightening my dark inner thighs. It’s been a month of using the bar every time I shower and I see drastic results already. I was a bit suspicious if this would actually work, but if you are on the fence please take this as a sign to get it and try it out. I’m so excited to see how I look in a few months from now because this things works and it works fast!" —puppbear
Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.99.
21. A bottle of callus-removing gel reviewers say you'll be shocked at the results as it can remove a year's worth of hard calluses that have built up on your feet.
And it's super easy to use! All you have to do is presoak your feet, apply the gel, let sit for 5–10 minutes, and rinse. You can use a foot file to make sure no dead skin or residue is left.
Promising review: "BUY IT. You won't regret it. I ordered this product based on all the reviews. I was tired of using the foot file for 20 minutes on each foot once and twice per week with not very good results. I used the product today for the first time. Followed all instructions. I left it on for 5.5 mins then rinsed really well and barely had to buff with the foot file. I then washed my feet with soap and rinsed well. Then dried and lathered on foot lotion and put on a pair of socks. That was about two hours ago. My feet are like a baby's foot. I had calluses and ridges on my heels and the outer side of my feet. Not the worst but very much there. It is all gone!" —SI Ruble
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
22. A bottle of CND Essentials nail and cuticle oil made with jojoba oil, sweet almond seed oil, and vitamin E to soften and moisturize your cuticles and condition your nails.
23. A Trtl neck pillow reviewers say is way more comfortable than the last-minute pillows you buy at the airport before boarding your flight. It's designed to keep your head in a comfy position so you won't wake up with neck pain.
24. And an airplane seat back organizer because there never seems to be enough room for all your plane essentials in that flimsy pocket the airplane provides. This gives you extra room for snacks, drinks, headphones, and more of your faves you need within arm's reach to soar the friendly skies.
Check out a TikTok of the Airplane Pockets tray table cover in action.
Airplane Pockets is a small business that specializes in sanitary, portable travel organization products.
My colleague Emma Lord owns and loves this: "I used this on a roundtrip from NYC to Tokyo, both with connecting flights in Canada, and cannot sing its praises enough. It fit all four of the different tray tables I used it on and was so ridiculously handy for keeping track of all my littler odds and ends like AirPods, the plane's headphones, earplugs, a sleep mask, a book, gum, a scrunchie, and little snacks. The hanging end of it easily tucked into the built-in sleeve of the seat in front of me for takeoff and when other passengers needed to scoot past me in my aisle seat. Usually, I feel like a hot mess and get frustrated rooting around in the grimy sleeve for my stuff, and this was such a refreshing solution! Several flight attendants even asked where I got it to buy one for themselves!"
Promising review: "Very useful, especially when traveling with kids. Provided easy access and storage to things like water bottle, hand sanitizer, snacks, wipes, headphones. I didn't have to access my carry-on." —JJ

25. An Alexa-compatible iRobot Roomba here to be your personal assistant and take care of that one job you'd rather not do — vacuum. This tiny helper can be scheduled to clean your floors to help maintain your clean home. It has great sensors that keep it from bumping into furniture or tumbling down the stairs. It also has multi-surface brushes to pick up dirt on hardwood floors or carpets.
Promising review: "This is a great little vacuum. It cleans really well, and the battery goes for a couple of hours. It always docks itself easily when done and never misses a spot in my 1,100-square-foot condo. It will go over rugs easily and fits under everything with no problem. I have two Maine Coons, and it does a great job of cleaning up their hair and any litter tracking. The drawer needs to be emptied every couple of days, but it's not a big deal for me. I have tile floors and carpet in the bedrooms. It cleans both well. It even cleans the litter mat in from of the litter box. This was well worth the money." —Renee
Get it from Amazon for $292.57.
26. A four-pack of towel bands to hold your towel in place while you're living it up on the weekend or when nice strangers ask you to be a fourth for a game of volleyball.
And as one reviewer points out, they'll make your chairs stand out in a sea of towel lookalikes.
Promising review: "Took these bands on a cruise. They kept the towel secured to the lounge chair even with gusts of wind. Others had clips, and the clips kept popping off. People asked where I got these and were impressed [by] how sturdy they are." —KT
Get them from Amazon for $11.99 (available in five colors).
27. And a mold and mildew remover for a simple no-scrub way to get rid of the yuckies that seems to have moved in with you, refusing to leave. All you have to do is shake, apply, and wait for the magic to dissolve the stains. 🧳
