Promising review: "We went camping and built a fire on a very windy day. Logs a little big and no kindling. We placed the Pull Start Firestarter in the center of the logs, pulled the string, and within a minute had a nice fire going. I highly recommend. You will love it." —Book Lover

Promising review: "These are easy-to-use extendable roasting sticks. Took them camping with the family, and everyone liked having their own color. Comes with a nice little bag to carry them in. I just wrapped the tips in paper towels before putting in bag until we got home to wash. Would definitely buy again if needed. Quality seems good — nice and strong, didn’t not bend or feel like anything was going to fall off." —RetailTherapy

This swinging hammock chair comes with two cushions and installation hardware.
Promising review: "Honestly for the price it is perfect. It comes with all of the mounting hardware and it is easily adjustable to accommodate anyone's height. It was super easy to install the mounting hardware and the hammock chair comes already put together ready to mount. It comes with a really sturdy clip that makes it simple to adjust. I really like the two pillows it came with." —Mario

Just inflate the interior pouf and stick it inside the printed, water-resistant cover.
Promising review: "Love these! Ordered two more. The fabric is very nice and sturdy especially for outdoors. The inflatable part appears to be good quality. How to: Place inflatable inside of cover before inflating it. Do not inflate to full capacity or it will look like an inflatable and will not rest in a nice flat position. Far nicer than I imagined. They look great flanking my outdoor rattan sectional." —Cali g

The air couch includes a compact pouch for on-the-go lounging and weighs just 2 pounds!
Promising review: This is a fabulous product! After seeing someone using one in a park, we ordered two. Once we figured out how to inflate (took a couple tries to get the knack), it's super easy. So comfortable, so easy to use/carry/store. Has been wonderful to have during quarantine — we lounge in our yard reading and relaxing. Invariably, neighbors stop to ask about them. We absolutely love our Wekapos!" —KCHWriter

These folding lounge chairs also come with utility trays you can easily snap on and off to hold drinks, a book, etc.
Promising review: "Absolutely love these chairs!! Bought them for our new pool and only went with one set until we decided if we liked them or not. Very comfy and love that we pulled them out of the box and enjoyed them right away. Very easy to recline and lock into position. The drink tray is easy to snap on and convenient to hold drinks, phone, book, etc. Like that they fold up very easily so that we can take them with us to a picnic or a game. Love them so much, I ordered two more!! Looking forward to comfy summer by the pool!!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This little device was surprisingly WONDERFUL! My hubby hesitated to put it on his 'precious' Yeti cooler, but after putting it in, we both were astounded! We never thought about how much easier it would be on our tent camping trips to be able to easily see into the cooler after dark! This was a game changer for us! It works exactly as described. It comes on when opened and goes off when closed — just like your fridge!" —Suzyzzle
Get it from Amazon for $10.16.
Promising review: "I cannot live without this spray! I have had bad sinuses since I was a kid. My boss recommended Xlear to me, and I have been a believer ever since. It actually burns sometimes when you spray it in your nostrils, but that is due to the Xylitol. After a few minutes, your nose starts to run and then the nasal passages are clear. Don't just try it once and say it doesn't work...use it as directed...it DOES work. At 53 years old, and sinus challenges all my life, I am living proof! I use it all through allergy season...safe, effective, and NATURAL!!!" —Karenej67

Promising review: "I have purchased several bug zappers before. This one by far has run circles around them all. I plugged it in and it started zap, zap, zapping immediately. The zapper was completely covered the first three days with midges that have been overwhelming here in Florida. I am happy with my purchase." —B. P.

The home projector includes multiple ports (HDMI, USB, VGA, AV, TF, and audio output) for widespread device compatibility. It also has built-in speakers, but can easily be hooked up to other external speakers or a sound bar.
Promising review: "We got this for my boyfriend's birthday so we could watch movies on our patio and it did not disappoint. The sound is a little quiet but there are cords already included to connect a sound bar or speaker to increase the output. I was really surprised by how easy it was to set it up and got the perfect picture on my first try. I really like how we could just plug our Amazon Fire Stick into it and get going. The screen was super easy to put up and down and even included Command-like strips for the perfect picture. We are really excited to continue using this!!" —Amy Donar

Promising review: "I bought these boots for a trip to London and Dublin. Knowing there would be lots of rain, I needed something to keep my feet dry. I was concerned about the comfort of wearing a rain boot. These boots did not disappoint. They were actually so much more comfortable than I could have imagined. They didn’t rub like some of the booties do. We walked 10 miles a day, right out of package. No blisters or discomfort. I would recommend them to anyone. You must wear socks with them, so plan for sizing accordingly. I logged 40K steps in these boots and now use them as daily barn boots. Great price and great product; cute, too." —Kindle Customer
Get it from Amazon for $25.49+ (available in sizes 5–9.5 and in four colors).
The vest is pretty stretchy, so reviewers recommend sizing down from what the size chart says.
Promising review: "Very comfy especially since there are no zippers or Velcro and the fabric is so stretchy. Easy to put on and take off. I initially ordered an extra large based on the size chart but returned it for a large, which fits my rat terrier. Clean shot for the pee appendage which is always a concern for the boys. The steel blue color is a nice royal blue. I’m happy and so is Topi...his Georgia thermostat will now fare much better in our cold Midwestern winters." —Jumpindogs
Get it from Amazon for $17.75+ (available in sizes XS–6XL and in 15 colors).
Promising review: "FINALLY, a sunscreen that leaves no white/purple cast!! I am an African American girl with very dark skin, and this stuff blended in flawlessly. At first it'll seem like it won't blend in but if you give it a minute, it completely disappears without any streaking. I have DRY, SENSITIVE skin as well and this sunscreen got the job done, absolutely no irritation and moisturized my face very well! I'm definitely gonna buy more once I'm done with mine :)" —lynette

Fostering Joy is a Pueblo, Colorado–based Etsy shop creating modern (not to mention gorgeous) table centerpieces and wreaths.

Promising review: "Mystical Fire Colorant is amazing. For a really fun experience, get some of these for your next camping trip. As if a campfire needs improvement...but this stuff is really neat. I'd say the adults love it even more than the kids. We only used one packet and the colors were so good — seems like they lasted at least 20 minutes. There was even color left in the ashes the next day. We will never go camping again without several packs of Mystical Fire on hand." —TeNe

My family LOVES Kan Jam. It's got the chill backyard vibes of cornhole (and is also played with two teams of two) but it's much lighter and easier to transport.
Promising review: "Played this game for the first time in Hawaii. Had to buy one when we got back home. Great outside activity. Family loves it." —Nana
Get it from Target for $34.99.
Promising review: "Perfect choice for the wife and me. Easy setup. Perfect temp (102–104 degrees). Bubbles are powerful. Cover was a bonus. Wasn't sure about these portable spas, but didn't have the time or money to invest in upgraded electrical and a standard tub. I am so glad I got this one. It's quiet, deep enough, big enough, hot enough, and I can't get enough! Aches and pains handled. Totally recommend to those on the fence." —D Mac

Promising review: "Wore it today and had to write a review because I got so many compliments! Loved the bright colors and length. Wore with leather booties. Cute! It is a little tight in the chest area but nothing uncomfortable or troublesome. I just ordered two more in different prints. ♥️" —ST

Plus, it folds up into the included carrying case for easy storage in the off-season.
Promising review: "I was able to pick up my leaves in record time using this leaf collector. I wish I had know about it years ago. It would have saved me so much money hiring people to do my leaves. I have told everyone I know about this product. They are all amazed when they see the video I did showing how I raked the leaves on the leaf collector. Folded up the ends like a taco and put it in the bag and released. SO EASY! Absolutely worth the money." —Ronnie

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Kayla Boyd is a personal fan of these tights:
"These are honestly the best tights I've ever owned! I'm a size 16/18 and it can be hard to find tights that are actually comfortable, not a struggle to put on, and don't rip before I've even stepped outside. These ones are dream come true!! I have been wearing dresses and skirts way more often this winter because I finally have tights I can feel comfy and confident in."

Promising review: "I have been using this moisturizer every morning and night for two weeks now and it has become a quick holy grail product for me! My skin has become noticeably more firm and bright and very well hydrated. It is a wonderful lightweight moisturizer that absorbs quickly into the skin. The scent is pleasant and not overwhelming. It is a great base before applying my makeup; it helps my foundation look beautiful! It gives a great glow to the skin. It is now a permanent staple in my skincare routine." —Heather

This pressure washer has a powerful 1,800-watt motor, five quick-connect spray tips, a 20-foot hose, and a 40.6 fluid ounce detegrent tank.
Promising review: "This product did everything as promised. I had used a relative's power cleaner on the siding on my vacation mobile home. There was no setting and the pressure was too much and it scored the aluminum siding. With this product, you have all of the separate tips to regulate the pressure of the spray. The tip for aluminum siding worked very well on the siding for my home. It was truly a great experience. I put on the tip for aluminum siding to rinse it and held the spray nozzle very close to the siding and all of the algae was removed and my siding looked like new (at 18 years old!). I would definitely recommend this product which is so reasonably priced for a power washer." —John K

BuzzFeed editor Chelsea Stuart did the chai research so you don't have to:
"Not gonna lie, I went on a serious reconnaissance mission at my local joint just to figure out what kind of chai they were using, and lo and behold it was this bad boy! All you have to do is add water or milk (and ice if you want it cold) and BAM, you've got a chai that could go for $5+.
Get it from Amazon for $18.05+ (available in two sizes).
Promising review: "Such a good deal! Easy and fast setup and very sturdy. This is exactly what our backyard needed! The carrying case is nice quality, though the frame is a bit on the heavy side so I'd probably only take it camping if no hiking was involved. The fabric had a musty smell right out of the box, but it's nothing that a little airing out can't take care of. We are so excited to enjoy it this summer, and the quality of the frame and hammock fabric seem like they will last years to come." —Coffeegirl

You can also use it to treat bites from bees, wasps, biting flies, no-see-ums, chiggers, and sea lice.

Radiate Campfires is a small biz making portable campfires with minimal environmental impact. Their products are made from recycled soy wax and recycled paper briquettes and burn reliably for over three hours. You can keep lighting and relighting it until all the briquettes are burned up.
Promising review: "If you don't have space or time for a backyard firepit, this is the perfect solution! We use this on our back deck. The flame gets about 12 inches high but is contained in the can. When we're done, we just put the lid on. It lasts for hours and multiple nights of burning. I've ordered as gifts, given as gifts and bought three for our use. Just love this product. It's soy so it's not toxic. Highly recommend!" —J. Bonfilio

Love the sturdy nonplastic cutlery and the ability to have dry storage, wet storage, and wine cooler. Blanket is a little small but not bad for two people. Highly recommend." —Mike A

Rumpl was inspired by warm and snuggly sleeping bags, and how much better the material retains heat compared to traditional bedding. The idea of a "sleeping bag blanket" was born, and Rumpl with it. They use only 100% post-consumer recycled materials, and are now recycling over 5 million discarded plastic bottles through their supply chain every year. They also offset all their carbon emissions with carbon credits!
Promising review: "I've used it in Wisconsin to continue having outdoor hangouts with my friends during Coronatime. It's that extra cozy layer for patio dining and porch sitting. Packs down tight to keep in the car for impromptu outdoor happy hour!" —Julie K.
