1. An oven scrub cleaner because the return of spring means the return of spring cleaning! This one's for anyone who can't remember the last time they gave the inside of their oven a deep clean. It's time for that burnt cheese that's been stuck to the bottom since 2019 to finally go away.
This oven scrub is made out of 100% plant and mineral-derived ingredients. To clean your oven, apply the scrub over the oven surface including the interior glass, scrub with a metallic or scouring sponge, then use a damp microfiber cloth to wipe the surface.
Everneat is a small business based in Fairfield, Connecticut that specializes in natural cleaning products and microfiber cloths.
Promising review: "This is the first time in my 50+ years that I have actually enjoyed cleaning my oven. And no, I am not joking! This product is effective, easy to work with, smells amazing, AND I only used a tiny amount of product!!! I don't think I could imagine a way to improve this product. Highly, highly recommend it!!! Well worth any wait." —Diane Coury

Sandstone & Sage is a small biz based in California.
Promising review: "I am trying to get rid of most plastic in my life. So I looked for a solution for when I go to buy fruits and veggies. I am very, very glad I found these little bags.

3. A set of hanging vacuum sealed bags to reduce the amount of space all of your bulky winter jackets are taking up in your closet. Now you'll have so much more room to hang up all your favorite lighter spring jackets — hello, jean jacket season!
Promising review: "Bought these storage bags two weeks ago to pack my winter clothes for summer, and they did the job perfectly. They are large and sturdy. I like its five-hook design. I can store five women's jackets or four big men's jackets in ONE bag. The long bags also fit my dresses. The biggest reason I bought these bags is that I do not need to fold my seasonal clothes; just hang, zip, vacuum, done! Super convenient. Extremely happy with this space bags. I will definitely order more!" —Jia Yan

4. A weed puller with an extra-long handle so you don't have to bend down or get on your knees to remove weeds. You'll save your joints and back from feeling achy and your garden will look fantastic all spring long!
Grampa's Gardenware Co. is a family-owned small business makes products that make the gardening, weeding, or harvesting of your land a little easier.
Promising review: “Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim given my husband and I bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weed was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get.” —JG
Get it from Grampa's Gardenware Co. on Amazon for $39.99.
5. An adjustable mister you can attach to your hose to keep you cool as you lounge poolside or in your backyard. Now THIS is truly the kind of simple luxury you need if you live anywhere with hot, humid spring days!
The mister will cool the surrounding area by 20 degrees, and it comes with an interchangeable flower-shaped misting head for a fun, whimsy detail.
Promising review: "Works exactly how I want it to. Provides a fine, cool most on the patio, allowing us to enjoy the backyard until sunset without breaking a sweat. Easy to set up. It was out of the box and cooling us off within minutes." —Debra L. Kusek
Get it from Amazon for $32.63.
6. Sticky Stake insect traps so all those flies, gnats, and other insects that make their way into your house in the spring don't invade and kill your plant babies.
Promising review: "I was so skeptical about this product. It always seems in the spring time that I get this little gnatty flies around my house plants. I ordered these, and I put them in my plant, and the next morning when I woke up one of the traps was full of these little flies. I changed out that trap to a new one, and it filled up again. I put a fresh one in, and I've noticed that there are still a few flies on the trap, but it has died down so I'm hoping these little trips have cleared out most of my little fly infestation. I don't know why it works, but it works." —Queen Jenn
Get it from Amazon for $5.33.
7. A tube of Burt's Bees After Sun soother — those springtime rays can be much stronger than they look! Apply this all over the sunburnt area as soon as possible for sweet relief from the pain, itching, and heat. This is especially helpful if you get sunburnt on the first day of your spring vacation and want to feel better for the rest of the trip!
This product is formulated without parabens, phthalates, petrolatum, or SLS.
Promising review: "Whenever someone I know has a sunburn, I become that super-annoying product-pusher friend. I tell everyone about the sun soother! Really, Burt’s Bees should pay me. It rubs into skin like lotion so you don’t feel greasy and can immediately put on clothes after application. A little goes a long way! It smells good without being overpowering (and I’m picky about scents!). Most importantly, it works! I’ve had everything from slight burn to looks-like-a-lobster-feels-like-fire and this sun soother has eliminated the pain/itch and drastically reduced the eventual peel. Highly recommend!" —jlgentr3
Get it from Amazon for $8.76.
8. And a doggy sunscreen made with moisturizing aloe vera because yes, even dogs can get sunburnt! Just spray this safe-to-lick formula over your dog's skin the next time they decide to sunbathe and they'll be protected from any harsh UV rays!
Warren London is a small biz making dog grooming products that help with all kinds of skin problems.
Promising review: “This product is so helpful. My poor pup has a white-spotted nose and it gets sunburnt so easily, along with the inside of his ears. So I just spray a little of this when he decides to sunbathe and he hasn’t been burnt since!” —Danielle Fender
Get it from Warren London on Amazon for $13.99.
9. A lawn repair formula if you're finally ready to spend all your time in your backyard, but your grass is looking...less than stellar. This special salt neutralizer formula can help repair damage done by dog urine and bring your lawn back to life just in time for your first backyard barbecue.
Promising review: “We purchased this to fill some patches in our backyard that were damaged by our puppy. This seed works like a charm. The one caveat is that you really do have to water it a bit every day. Once it takes off though, it grows pretty quickly! Within one week of planting this, we had 1-inch long grass blades. One month later, all the patches are gone. Highly recommended!” —Jessica N.
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five sizes).
10. A pack of DressWeights because spring days can be notoriously windy and you don't want to experience a Marilyn Monroe moment whenever you wear a cute dress outside. Now you can walk confidently without the fear that a strong gust will reveal everything.
Dress Strong is a New York City-based small business. Christina, the owner, came up with the idea in 2012 so we never have to experience an embarrassing flashing moment.
Each adhesive should last about six uses with proper care.
Promising review: "What an amazing invention! I had my bridesmaids use these for my destination wedding. I got married outside by a very windy gazebo and they worked like a charm. Highly recommend!" —kimberlyo143
Get four weights from Dress Strong on Etsy for $15.
11. A sunshade triangle if your backyard doesn't have very much shade and you want something that will cover a large area easily. Reviewers in super warm climates (think Arizona) love installing this over their pool to keep it a more comfortable temperature.
Promising review: "My pool is awesome when it gets into the hundreds of degrees here in California. We decided to grab a 20x20x20 triangle and holy cow does it do a number on the backyard! Not only does it keep my pool better-shaded, but it also keeps the sun off of my back patio during the hottest part of the day." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in a variety of sizes and 12 colors).
12. A water bottle cup holder adapter because the return of spring means the return of outdoor activities, and you want to stay hydrated on the go. Instead of having your water bottle sit in the passenger seat and roll around, you can actually place it in your cupholder thanks to this extra-large attachment!
Wine and Whiskey Co is a small biz creating clothes, phones cases, and car accessories!
Promising review: "I had to remove the foam wrap that was on it for it to fit in my cup holder, but now it works perfectly. No more having my water bottle in the seat next to me, rolling on the floor, or spilling 'cause I forgot to close it! Yay!" —sprocketnellie
Get it from Wine and Whiskey Co on Etsy for $12.99.
13. A poop bag holder so you can do the responsible thing and carry your dog's poop to the next garbage can. This is especially helpful if your dog walks are getting longer now that the weather is nicer and you don't want to smell the ~funkiness~ of the bag for a mile.
Promising review: "My dog often poops two to three times on a hike, and it’s incredibly annoying to carry her full poop bags. They stink, they’re squishy, and I hate holding them, especially when I’m trying to quickly pull out my phone to take a picture of a special moment. This simple yet genius item allows me to carry her poop by clipping the container to my waist and snapping the lid shut. My hands are free, my nose is happy, and the trails are clear of Quinn poop." —Amanda
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in five colors and two sizes).
14. A humidifier because the ugly truth of springtime is that it's also allergy season, and this will help you breathe a little better when you have a case of the constant sniffles!
This cool mist model has a 1.5-liter tank that can put moisture into the air for up to 16 hours of continuous operation.
Promising review: "After a winter and spring of allergies and illnesses, I am amazed out how efficiently and refreshing it is to use my Pure Enrichment MistAire Humidifier. It fits easily on my small kitchen counter and provides a wonderful cooling mist day in and day out. The reservoir is easy to fill and runs for a good long time on each refill. We are using lots of disinfectants in the kitchen and throughout the house right now and the Pure MistAire refreshes continuously throughout the kitchen and dining area. Great product for a good price!" —Robinj J.
Get it from Amazon for $29.98+ (available in three sizes).
15. And a sinus rinse bottle if the return of seasonal allergies means you are constantly stuffed up in the spring. All you have to do is hold it up to your nose, press the button, and the water will flow from one nostril to the other and flush all that built-up gunk that's stuck in your sinuses. Sweet relief!
Before trying any nasal rinse, read the FDA’s guide about how to use it safely. And according to that FDA guide, you should talk to your doctor before using one of these if you’re immunocompromised.
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.
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 M.
Get it from Amazon for $14.98 (available in two colors), and get 100 saline refill packets for $12.99.
16. Some adjustable magnetic grill lights if spring is inspiring you to start using your grill a bit more and you don't want something like the sun going down to interrupt your grilling process! Now you'll be able to see all that glorious food in perfect detail.
Promising review: "This was a surprise for my husband. He loves them. The lights are nice and bright and make grilling those last few things that didn't get finished before dark easy. He's also used them early in the morning when he's setting the smoker up before dawn. He's happy and finding them very useful. He especially loves the magnet on bottom so he can hang them off of so many things while he's busy and he can use the flexibility to shine them where he needs them. Very awesome and easy to use." —Holly Gomez
Get two from Amazon for $22.29.
17. A garbage disposal cleaner because spring cleaning is the perfect time to clean this ~mysterious abyss~. Just shove one of the packets down there, turn on your disposal, and watch in amazement as the cleaner foams up and chomps away all the grunge.
When using, make sure to put the entire packet down the drain aka don't open it! The packet is made out of biodegradable material.
Promising review: "We purchased a house in August 2019 and I've noticed that the garage disposal wasn't smelling great. Kept forgetting to do something about it until recently. I purchased these because they seemed to be a good value. I followed the easy directions and was not prepared for the amount of gunk the blue foam pushed out of both sinks. It was gross! After the blue foam died down, I cleaned my sinks and they smelled much better. Almost wanted to do it again, but I'll wait a bit. Highly recommended!" —Sissy39
Get 8 uses from Amazon for $9.96+ (available in multiple quantities).
18. A microfiber towel pillowcover if you like to take showers at night to wash off all that pollen and outside ~grime~ that's accumulated on you after a day of enjoying the sunshine. This will soak up the excess water from your hair and help it dry faster as you sleep.
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!" —Rachel
Get it from Amazon for $23.99.
19. A garbage guard that emits vapor that kills insects in your outdoor trash and works to prevent further infestations. Just attach this to the inside of your garbage can lid and let it work its magic!
You'll want to replace this every four months!
Promising review: "We had a horrible run-in with fruit flies when we had some produce go bad while we were gone for a couple of weeks over the summer — I thought I got it all but definitely did not. Of course we discovered the problem when we got home. As luck would have it, trash day was days away so it sat in our outdoor can for several days and that just led to even more. I used this to stick in our large outdoor can. If you can put on a bandage, you can install this. We noticed a big difference in the first couple of days and had them almost completely gone within a week." —Michelle Cooney
Get it from Amazon for $7.98.
20. A pack of heel stoppers designed to stop your stiletto heels from sinking into the grass and getting completely ruined. Go ahead — wear your favorite heels to that outdoor spring wedding!
They'll also prevent heels from getting caught in cracks in the sidewalk.
Elizabeth Lilly, a BuzzFeed editor, put these to the test as a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding after writing about them in a ton of shopping stories. Here's what she had to say:
"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!"
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in four sizes).
21. A super-strong travel umbrella designed by a weatherman who was sick and tired of his umbrellas breaking and flipping inside out while he was on the job. We all know spring is full of rainstorms, so you'll want to keep this expertly designed umbrella on you for any surprise showers!
I can’t tell you how many times a flimsy umbrella I’ve bought at the drugstore has gone inside out in the wind or ends up getting so soaked through that it’s basically useless. Enter the Weatherman Umbrella, designed by an actual weatherman who got fed up that he couldn’t find an umbrella to suit his needs so he made one himself. Not only does this compact umbrella easily open up and give you full coverage, it can withstand up to 45-mph wind gusts and it’s super fast-drying, making it definitely worth the higher price point. I first used this in December when it started pouring on my friend and me as we looked at Christmas decorations in NYC, and it kept me completely dry. Not to mention it was bone-dry by the time I got home. I didn’t know it was possible to be in love with an umbrella, but here we are!
Get it from Weatherman or Amazon for $69 (available in 11 colors).
22. A pair of AirPod ear hooks to keep your AirPods firmly in your ear even during long runs outside in the nice spring weather. Now you can just focus on racking up the miles and keeping a steady pace instead of worrying you'll end up losing an AirPod along the way.
Promising review: "I recently bought the AirPod Pros to use with my Apple Watch to run outside. I was excited for the Pros because they have the smaller ear tips, but even the smallest size just did not stay in during a run. I bought these over the ear hooks and some inside the ear pieces to see what might work. I just ran 5 miles with these over the ear hooks, and I might not even try the other items. They really kept the AirPods snug, and I didn't feel them at all. The price is right, and they do exactly what I needed. I will be buying more for back ups! Definitely recommend giving these a try!" — Siobhan Anne Franklin
Get a pair from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in four colors).
23. And a running belt that'll keep essentials like your phone, keys, and credit card safe and sound as you go on a run in the park. Reviewers say they love that this doesn't bounce during their workout!
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).
24. A set of extendable s'mores sticks so you don't scorch your arm hairs as you try to roast some marshmallows. It's the best way to spend those glorious spring nights outside when it's a little chilly but not too chilly.
Promising review: "These roasting sticks will get the job done. They retract easily and will be perfect for light use (roasting marshmallows) with our firepit. Not extremely sturdy but not flimsy either. The metal points are not sharp which is a good thing if kids are handling them. I like the storage pouch it comes with too." —Sheri J. O
Get a set of five from Amazon for $7.94.
25. A Scumbug that sucks up all the nasty stuff like sunscreen and mysterious slime that's floating in your pool or hot tub. It'll make cleaning so much easier!
You can wash this with soap after it's absorbed all the oils and turned orange, and then reuse it!
Promising review: "Scummy water bugging you? I just got this gem of a product last night. Popped it into my hot tub and from the picture I attached, you can see that in just about 12 hours, this little Scumbug ate up all the oil and filth in the hot tub. The water not only looks better, but smells better too! Highly recommended!" —Mickey D.
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.99.
26. A box of plant food to sprinkle in your watering can so your flowers will get all the good nutrients they need to grow big and beautiful. Your neighbors will be complimenting your flower garden all spring long!
Promising review: "I love this!! Years ago I worked in an office and there was a Poinsettia plant that had seen better days. My coworker was going to throw it out but I told her to let me try to revive it, so I used this stuff just like I used it on my house plants and nursed the plant along. It was like a miracle when right around Christmas the Poinsettia plant I cared for displayed the bright red leaves!!! The other people in the office had told me the plant would die, so you can imagine their faces when they saw the results of the Miracle-Gro!" —Doug W.
Get it from Amazon for $5.59+ (available in six sizes).
27. A Chuckit! ball launcher so you can give your furry friend the best game of fetch they've ever had. Get ready for hours of outdoor playtime without any sore arms at the end — you'll be able to launch the ball farther than you ever have before!
Promising review: "Love this! We now have ordered three! One for each vehicle for when we go to the dog park and one to keep at home! Our dogs love it and I love it because it helps by keeping my shoulder from hurting from throwing a ball. Easy to use and really helps the dogs get exercise and have fun!" —Michelle S
Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in multiple lengths).
28. A carpet cleaner for tackling the most intense spills and stains you thought there was no coming back from. Instead of placing a piece of furniture over the stain and forgetting about it, use this miracle cleaner instead! This one's a spring cleaning MVP if I've ever seen one!
Promising review: "It’s a miracle in a bottle. My German shepherd mix decided to pull a black fountain pen out of my purse and chew it to pieces on my beige carpet while I was sleeping — this cleaner lifted the stain and now it’s like the devastation my dog caused never happened! As soon as I saw it lifting the ink, I got back on Amazon and bought more bottles. I will never let myself run out of this. I use it in my Bissell carpet cleaner for some crazy good cleaning power. I’ve become that weird lady who goes around singing the praises of a cleaning product. No regrets." —L. Logan
Get it from Amazon for $6.65.
29. A handheld dog shower attachment because spring typically means lots of rain, which also means lots of mud puddles. The next time your pup decides to roll around in the mud when you let them outside, never fear — just plop them in the bathtub, attach this to your shower hose, and rinse all the grime off with ease. You can also attach this to your garden hose so you can get them clean before they even head into the house!
Promising review: "I will say without hesitation that this works very well! I cannot tell you how this made the dreaded baths for the two dogs so much easier. I used the "old school" method of using a plastic pitcher to rinse the dogs. and I cannot believe I did not find this sooner. It cuts bath time down substantially. It has two separate water comb settings. It is not too powerful that it scares my dogs or makes them upset, as a matter of fact they seem less stressed with me using this instead of dumping pitchers of water over them. It was very easy to install and has a long hose that allows me to reach all areas of my dogs without running out of hose. Give this a try if you want to make a usually painful chore easier for both you and your pets." —Todd L. Owens
Get it from Amazon for $45.06+ (available in two sizes).
30. Some reusable heel inserts if you're dying to wear your new adorable pair of flats but don't want to end up with painful blisters. This provide some much-needed padding on your heel so you feel comfortable enough to wear them all day long.
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 $9.95+ (available in three colors).
31. A Bug Bite Thing suction tool because the arrival of spring also means the arrival of bugs! This literally sucks the insect venom and saliva from your skin if you get bit while sitting on your porch or going for a hike. Some reviewers say it stops itching in seconds!
Some reviewers say it has strong suction power, so use it lightly!
Promising review: "I am a magnet for bites of all kinds and carry topical and medicines with me at all times — so I figured this would be a good product to see if it really works. I woke up with a bug bite on my arm so I used this little tool (three times per the instructions) — immediately after using, it stopped itching! And less than 24 hours later the bump/bite was gone! There is a very faint red mark from using the thing, but a small price to pay IMO. Bottom line: it’s awesome. I’m carrying it with me everywhere!" —Rebecca
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors).
32. A wall-mounted broom organizer if you want an all-in-one command center to place all of your spring cleaning supplies. Now you can just grab and go to tackle all of your tasks!
Promising review: "Perfect! Exactly what I needed to organize my mop, broom, scoop, etc. Efficient and easy to use. A little hard to get my scoop into it but that’s cause it’s thicker than the rest of items. Love that there are hooks. Spray bottles and cleaning product bottles hang perfectly on there too." —Kavita Chandanie
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
33. An all-natural dander-reducing spray to use if your cat is causing everyone to sneeze because of all the dry skin they're releasing into the air as they scratch away. This contains soothing aloe vera and oatmeal that'll make their skin more moisturized, which means less scratching and less allergy-causing dander!
Promising review: “This product is great. I'm super allergic to our cat and his dander is so bad and I have to wash my hands after petting him. Within just a few days, it has cleared it up so much and helped me not be so stuffy around him. Will definitely be keeping on hand. I spray it on the brush and then put it on him. Easy to put on and it stays on." —amelia nelson
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
34. A waterproof trash can if you're going on a long road trip for spring break and don't want your car to end up littered with food wrappers and empty bottles by the time you arrive.
Promising review: "By far, this is the best trash can for a car I’ve had in my life! And yes, I have tried others! I have a small SUV, and this is large enough to collect the trash from receipts, napkins, and apple sauce pouches from my kid, and straps to the back of my console so it’s in easy reach! The snaps on the side keep a trash bag in place, but if there is a spill it’s very easy to clean! And the lid keeps everything inside if it happens to get kicked! I definitely recommend!" —Kristi
Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in two sizes).
Now it's time to go outside and smell all those beautiful blooms that are starting to appear:
