Note that this includes just the umbrella, not the table!
Promising review: "I normally don’t like buying products like this sight unseen, but I’m very pleased with the look and especially with the solar lighting.

2. 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 2020 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

3. A set of two ~zero gravity~ reclining porch chairs so you can literally feel like you're floating as you chill out in the backyard. It comes with a pillow and a side table, which is perfect for holding your drink or placing your book down. They also fold up for easy transport to the beach or a picnic!
Promising review: "We realized pretty quickly that with everyone home because of the 2020 quarantine, we would need more spaces to hang out in. I found this set of chairs and put the order in as a temporary measure until we found a patio set that suits the space better. These are perfect though. I can't really see replacing them anytime soon. They are comfortable, and the little attached tables are really handy! I usually have hot tea, water, a phone, and either a book or my Kindle in my immediate area. This tiny attachment made it so I don't even have to worry about where to put everything. The seat is an excellent place to spend some time watching the birds or reading in the afternoons. I am absolutely thrilled with this purchase." —Brandy Morgan

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

This comes with nonstick coating, the stand is removable, and you can adjust the temperature to five different settings.
Promising review: "This is the perfect grill for my apartment balcony. It was easy to clean and it's really nonstick. In comparison to other brands, this actually heats up the plate instead of heating lights. It cooked really well and was very easy to install. I would definitely recommend to purchase this if you have a small balcony." —Amazon Customer

6. A tabletop fireplace if you want some warmth and a nice aesthetic glow in your backyard once the sun goes down, but don't have enough room for a huge fire pit. It's perfect for those still-sorta-chilly early spring nights.

Get it from Amazon for $20.39.
12. A five-tier vertical planter if you've suddenly got a green thumb and want to take advantage of the nice weather while you can. This is perfect for anyone with limited outdoor space because it uses vertical space instead of lots of bulky flower beds or pots!
Some reviewers even swear that this planter can store up to 20 beers with ice, making it the perfect backyard BBQ ~cooler~.
Promising review: "Used for strawberry plants. The planter was extremely easy to assemble and works perfectly for my needs. Love how watering the top layers will also water the lower layers via the drainage system. Nice product!" —Fellow Amazon shopper
Get it from Amazon for $36.95 (available in four colors).
13. 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!

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.

14. A floral wall mural if all those beautiful flowers you're seeing on your daily neighborhood walks is inspiring you to give your bedroom a floral renovation. You'll be amazed how much of a wow factor this will give to any room you install it in!
Promising review: "Absolutely stunning and everything I wanted, looks way better and more vivid IRL, I almost didn't buy this because the colors look so dull and old school in the pics and I wanted more a modern glam look and this was perfect. Took two of us to install and three-ish hours with breaks. Took the advice of previous reviewers and bought premixed paste from The Home Depot. Definitely don't go easy on the paste, you need enough on the wall to make it easier to adjust and align. Don't worry too much about the bubbles, once it dries down it all adheres nicely. My guess the bubbles are excess paste. The quality of this paper is thick and not sheer at all. However I do think it will look nicer if theres a lighter color under it to begin with. For the price this is definitely worth it and then some. I would have paid much more for this had I seen it in person. You wont regret it: )" —Almond Joy
Get it from Amazon for $70.85 (check out more designs here).
15. Globe string lights to give your porch that twinkly, cozy feel as you and your friends chat for hours on your outdoor furniture planning all the springtime activities you'll be partaking in during the next few months.
Promising review: "Absolutely love the dim feature! These bulbs are more round than oval like others, but I love them. When they are off, there’s a cool yellow in them that offers a lovely aesthetic when not in use. Our pergola is wired for lights so we mounted them on and almost always dim them because the white pergola reflects the light. These lights have made our patio my new favorite spot in the house. My husband and I find the evenings so relaxing, we’ve literally grown closer together from spending time out under the lights in our new favorite place." —fishurmo
Get them from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in five lengths and three styles).

It'll remove rust, tarnish, stains, and mineral deposits from stainless steel, porcelain, ceramic, copper alloys, fiberglass, Corian, brass, bronze, chrome, and aluminum.
Promising review: "I bought this after seeing numerous recommendations, and after years of searing and occasionally burning things in my stainless pans, it was time to try to bring them to a better state. Not only did this easily scrub off the latest culinary leavings, it scrubbed off the years of buildup of oil, fat, cooking spray and whatever else that have been continually baked on in the oven, stove and dishwasher. A little powder, a dash of water, a quick, light scrub, and...it's gone? How is that possible? What's in this stuff? I do not know, I do not care. After scrubbing my enamel stovetop in a fraction of the time with no scratches and better results, I became thoroughly convinced the contents of BKF is not of this realm. It's magic." —Bulb
Get it from Amazon for $6.88.
20. A tiered plant stand if all your plants are currently scattered around your house or apartment but you'd rather have one centralized area dedicated to them. Not only will it create a super dynamic and ever-evolving focal point for your place, but now it'll be so much easier to water them when they're all in one spot!
Promising review: "Ordered the smaller size — it is small and yet sturdy, looks very elegant and is good quality and finish. Assembling was super easy. I am going to order one more. Loved it and highly recommend it." —Ashutosh Agte

Get it from Amazon for $23.99.
22. A microfiber window blind cleaner if you've been putting off cleaning your dusty blinds all winter because it's just so dang hard to do! With three blades that clean two blinds at once, you'll be done in no time and finally be able to cross off the dreaded chore from your to-do list.
This set includes five microfiber duster sleeves you can wash and reuse as well as a tiered plastic base.
Promising review: "OK I'll be honest, I ordered this because of the price. After reviewing several other options and having been disappointed with previous dusters I've had, I figured why spend more money on something that isn't going to work? So I ordered the least expensive option but WOW does this little tool rock!!!! It's very easy to use and clean. It does a fantastic job of cleaning and dusting the blinds and gets ALL of the crud off of them. My blinds haven't been this clean since the day they were first installed. VERY happy with purchase." —Amazon Shopper
Get the six-piece set from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two handle colors).

You'll get creamy, tasty ice cream made with your favorite fruit flavors — and yes, all you need is frozen fruit to make it!
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

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.
26. And an instant-read meat thermometer so you can make sure all those steaks and barbecue chicken you're whipping up on your grill are being cooked to exactly the right temperature.
Promising review: "Couldn't be easier to use really. I tested it with ice water and boiling water and it seems to be pretty accurate. I've already cooked some steaks using it and they came out perfect. Plan to use it a lot with my smoker and expect good results there too. I love that it has the magnets so I can stick on the fridge, the grill or the smoker and it's always handy. And you really can't beat the price at under $10!" —FCC
Get it from Amazon for $11.89+ (available in red or gray).
27. 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

The color is true to the pictures. They appear to be delicate, however, I only hand wash my wineglasses anyway. Cannot wait to create a table setting with mostly the smoke wineglasses and mix in a few of the rose and blush wineglasses. I like to read about the businesses that are featured on Food52 and I was so happy to learn that Estelle Colored Glass is a black female-owned business in the US.
