    35 Products With Such Good Reviews You May Want To Test Them Yourself

    Father's Day is coming up and there's a golf club cleaner in here that's calling your dad's name.

    1. An inflatable water hammock that can also be used as a chair, a drifter, or an exercise saddle — it's basically the Instant Pot of pool floats (it can do it all!). Reviewers say it's so compact it's perfect for tossing into your suitcase for your next tropical vacay.

    Reviewer's have also noted that, due to its versatility, this float is fantastic if you're pregnant!

    Promising review: "This floaty is an absolute must for any vacation or home pool. Easy to pack and inflate. I saw another person floating around the pool with ease in Cancun and immediately hopped online to purchase. Best purchase ever made!! You can seriously relax comfortably in the water with this floaty and use it for multiple positions in the pool. Everyone who used it fell asleep relaxing in the water. Don’t give it a second thought. Buy it!!!" —Chrissy_Chris

    2. Olaplex Hair Perfector No 3 Repairing Treatment, designed to help strengthen all hair types (it treats each strand on a molecular level!) and restore your locks back to a beautiful, shiny, Disney Princess–like state.

    Promising review: "I'm so amazed by Opalex No 3! Literally in just one treatment, I noticed a huge difference in my hair. My 3C hair had gotten very dry and damaged and was looking horrible. I can't believe the difference already in just one treatment. The number of compliments I got this week about how healthy my hair looked was amazing! I'm planning on continuing to do a weekly treatment for the next few weeks. It's expensive and I used a third of the bottle for one treatment, but it's absolutely worth it! Nothing else has ever worked this well for me." —Michelle

    Get it from Amazon for $30.

    3. A garbage guard that'll keep pesky flies and other insects from congregating around your barbecue so you can enjoy your backyard in peace.

    Amazon, Amazon / Via www.amazon.com

    Promising review: "Got an outdoor can, the kind the mechanical arm on the garbage truck picks up and tips over, with the lid opening by gravity. Placed this on the inside of the lid, near the hinge to lessen the chances of it being scraped off during emptying and no flies/maggots! No apparent odor, just seems to put a big hurt on the fly party that used to be my trash can (litter box contents, remnants of meat, etc.) " —Michael E. Bradley

    Get it from Amazon for $8.95.

    4. And a high-voltage bug zapper to help you finally win the war that's been raging on every summer between you and the seemingly endless population of insects that insist on trying to hang with you anytime you enter your yard.

    It helps cut down the amount of bugs found in an area of up to 1,500 square feet.

    Promising review: "You will not be disappointed. I just moved out to the country and have been working out in the garage late at night. With the weather getting warmer, I've had the garage doors opened and mosquitos, gnats, and everything else have been finding there way into my garage, so I had to do something about it. I bought this and hung it next to my garage door opener because there's an outlet there and it is way better than expected. I have dead bees, stink bugs, gnats, mosquitoes, and other bugs that I do not know what they are. My 8-year-old son keeps asking me to remove the bottom tray so he can see all of the dead bugs that got zapped. Again, you will not be disappointed, I'm extremely happy I bought this!" —Chris & Jenny

    Get it from Amazon for $33.99.

    5. And a scent-free mosquito repellent you can count on to keep those lil' bloodsucking buggers at bay while you're trying to plant your daisies or pick your cherry tomatoes.

    This device uses scent-free repellent mats using naturally occurring repellents found in plants to rid of mosquitoes.

    Promising review: "It doesn't smell. It doesn't make noise. It doesn't get hot. It just clears the mosquitos and only mosquitoes! I am the person a mosquito will find from miles away even in my house. The only one they find in a room full of people. I live in a tropical climate and never have a moment's peace in my garden. I've used sprays, foggers, candles, torches, the list goes on. This is the first time I've been able to sit on my patio in peace, even the cat was safe. Already ordered another for a friend and put the refills on subscribe and save." —J&J

    Get it from Amazon for $17.98.

    6. A standing weeder (without the chemicals!) for anyone with a bad back who still wants an award-worthy lawn.

    Made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel, it uses a simple lever system to made weeding easy. Grampa's Weeder is a small business!

    Promising review: "Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim given we 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, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." —JG

    7. Gold Bond Friction Defense Stick to help you fight the good fight against your thighs and summer chafing — is there anything more irritating (literally) then wearing your favorite dress only to be left with red, painful welts by the end of the day? I think not.

    Target

    BuzzFeed editor Ciera Velarde swears by this: "I've used it for about 12 years now and it's the only thing that I can trust to prevent that dreaded chafing after a sweaty day of walking around. It glides on perfectly, it's unscented, and it doesn't melt away when you start to sweat. If it's a particularly hot day out, it can start to fade after a few hours, so just make sure to bring it with you to reapply. In addition to preventing chafing between my thighs, I've also applied it on my arms where my sports bra rubs against them when I run and it works like a charm!"

    Get it from Amazon for $5.96 or Target for $5.99.

    8. Angry Orange pet odor eliminator for anyone with an adorable furry friend who is still learning how to control their bladder — this will help banish evidence of accidents (and the lingering smell that goes along with it).

    Promising review: "This product is amazing!!!! We have a Rottweiler pup and a bichon pup and our house was feeling the PAIN! I tried everything and use to tell my wife, 'with all the science and technology in the world we still can’t come up with something that gets rid of the dog mark smell!' This product does everything and more. Just ordered another round. We were about to throw away some furniture due to the smell and now after use we can keep it. Saved me hundreds. Well worth the money." —clayton s tonkin

    Get it from Amazon for $19.97.

    9. Beckham Hotel Collection Bed Pillows because, if we’re being honest (and I like to think we’ve reached a point in our relationship where we can be blunt), the ones you’ve been sleeping on are starting to resemble Flat Stanley. It’s time for you to upgrade your sleeping situation, friend!

    Promising review: "I was just looking at these pillows again in case I had to purchase new ones. I originally purchased them two years ago. They are the most wonderful and comfy pillows I've ever had. When I read the reviews saying they washed up badly, I was ready to buy new ones. Lo and behold, I washed them and dried them in the dryer, and they turned out great. I just have the older type stackable washer and dryer set, not large, just regular sized. I put both pillows in the washer on gentle, then put both pillows in the dryer. I ran the dryer on medium heat and ran the cycle several times, just to make sure. I'm happy they turned out so well 'cause I love these pillows!" —T. Rune

    10. A golf club cleaning squeeze bottle complete with a nylon brush that'll ensure your clubs, golf balls, and shoes are the freshest looking ones on the course.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "I've been using mine for over a year now, and it is seriously the best at what it does. Simple design, but it does a simple (but vital) task. I try to top it off before every round but often forget. That's fine because it seems to last three or four rounds, no problem. Even if you do run out of water, it still works as a simple brush until you can make it to a conveniently located water cooler or fountain on the golf course." —Ben M.

    Get it from Amazon for $4.10.

    11. A fast-acting lawn repair formula made up of grass seeds, mulch, and soil amendment will undo all the damage your beloved doggo (who, obviously, can't help but pee all over your grass) has done to the yard. Now, back to trying to teach Fido *not* to dig up the new grass...

    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 good, 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).

    12. A Scumbug you can count on to work harder than anyone else you've ever met — it'll soak up all the oils, sunscreen, and whatever other unknown substances that are likely floating around in your pool's water. When it noticeably changes color wring it out, rinse it, and toss it right back into the pool.

    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 pack of two from Amazon for $14.99.

    13. Lanolips Multipurpose Superbalm — it'll moisturize your lips without making them feel sticky (a big win) but can *also* be used on your cuticles, elbows, and any other patch of dry skin you come across. A little goes a long way, so apply as needed without fear you'll run out of it too quickly.

    Heather Braga / BuzzFeed, Amazon

    I've been using this tube of lip balm and absolutely loving it. The first time I tried it out, I applied it before bed and was delighted by how soft and moisturized my lips felt when I woke up the next morning. The scent isn't overpowering (which I appreciate in a lip product), and it goes on smoothly. Zero complaints!

    Promising review: "This is the best lip balm I have ever tried, and believe me, I've tried them all. I only have to use this in the morning, and it lasts almost all day. The only time I have to reapply is after eating. Also good for cuticles and the back of my hands." —Sharon O

    Get it from Amazon for $13.50 (available in five scents).

    14. An insulated tumbler cup to encourage you to *actually attempt* to stay hydrated throughout the day — it's even more important if you're running around in the summer sun all the time.

    Sally Elshorafa / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

    BuzzFeed editor Sally Elshorafa loves this cup: "I am normally a very hydrated person, but when I was pregnant I took it to another level. I was always thirsty, and especially for really cold water. This tumbler kept my water cold for more than 12 hours each day, like literally the ice would not melt if I kept the lid sealed. I still use this tumbler every day, and I gave birth over six months ago! It's a keeper."

    Promising review: "I have only used this for ice water so far and it's AWESOME. I'm pregnant and this has helped me stay hydrated because I like my water very cold and this keeps my drink icy for hours. My favorite is when I wake up super thirsty in the morning and reach over to sip from this cup and the ice is still in tact and the water is nice and cold. Very impressed with the quality, and the color is very cute - I've already gotten lots of compliments on it." —mcs930

    Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in six sizes and 40 colors and patterns).

    15. An easy-to-use ice cream scoop with a curved shape only a genius could've designed that'll smoothly cut through ice cream and create a picture-perfect scoop time and time again.

    Promising review: "I think I just found the best ice cream scoop ever! I was very surprised when I took it out of the box because it has some weight to it, so I knew right away that it would not break easily. It scoops ice cream beautifully and is dishwasher safe. I am so glad TikTok made me buy this!" —MamaKickAsh

    Get it from Amazon for $11.97+ (available in 13 colors and a two-pack). 

    16. Garden gloves with claws that'll make you feel like the Lady Gaga of gardening and make digging in the dirt both easier and more fashionable.

    Promising review: "If you're like me, I typically ditch the gloves when I'm weeding because I can't get a good hold on the smaller weeds. Not with these gloves! They help me dig up those small weeds quickly. I thought I'd have a hard time picking things up because of the claws, but no. They make weeding so much quicker, and save my nails and hands in the process." —MomOfR&D

    Get them from Amazon for $6.36 (available in two colors).

    17. FryAway — a seemingly magical substance you can sprinkle on top of your grease-coated pan and watch as it turns to a solid. No more waiting ages for it to cool, having to grossly scrape it out of your pan with a paper towel, or accidentally clogging your pipes.

    Promising review: "This magic powder worked so much better than I expected! I was doing some deep frying in my enamel cast iron pot one night, and when I was done, I poured the powder in the hot oil just as instructed. The stuff dissolved right away and I gave it a quick mix. I ended up putting the lid on and forgetting about it overnight. The next morning it was a solid gel mass. I was expecting it to be the consistency of Jello, but it was actually surprisingly firm! I took a spatula and barely applied pressure to one side to loosen it and the whole entire thing separated in one clean piece without any stray chunks of oil sticking to the pot. Couldn't have been easier! I have always avoided frying like the plague for the sole reason that I don't know what to do with the oil afterwards. Now I don't have to worry about that anymore!" —Sahara

    18. A Door-Doc — an odor-preventing front load washer door prop that'll keep yours opened *just* enough to ensure it doesn't get a funky, mold-like smell inside.

    Door-Doc is a small business! You can see it in action on TikTok.

    Promising review: "This is amazing, a simple tool that has helped kill off the smell from my washer. My washer when not closed would swing all the way open, not just a crack. This bad boy leaves it open a few inches so it breathes. The magnet is sturdy enough to hold the door in place but easy enough to pop off if you gently pull the door open." —Sherry S.

    Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in two colors).

    19. A magnetic purse hanger that'll impress fellow handbag hoarders when they see you using it out and about. You'll never have to place your pricey bag on the floor of a dirty restaurant or gross public bathroom tile again! Simply attach the metal hook to your bag and use the magnetic hook against a metal surface to hang it wherever, whenever!

    Bagnet is a woman-owned small business 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 16 styles). 

    20. An Aerie sports bra and bike shorts set in a vibrant color, so no one will be able to miss ya' when you're strutting your stuff on the treadmill at the gym.

    I'm a big fan of all-things-Aerie and adore this sports bra (I have it in four colors!). I can't wait to add these bike shorts to the mix when the weather gets warmer!

    Promising review (for the bra): "First of all, the material is buttery smooth and feels so soft. Also the colors are gorgeous and match perfectly with the Xtra Hold Up! Leggings. I love the 'longline' style, makes it perfect to wear with jeans for a nicer look. Just ordered another color!" —Grace L

    Get them from Aerie: sports bra for $29.97 (available in women's sizes 2XS–2XL and 10 colors), bike shorts for $29.97 (available in women's sizes 2XS–2XL and six colors). 

    21. An iconic Sophie the Giraffe teether your little one will, for unexplained reasons, likely cherish and love chomping away on as their pearly whites start to (painfully) poke through.

    editor's child chewing on sophia the giraffe

    Heather Braga / BuzzFeed

    Sophie the Giraffe has become a valued member of our family. I ran out to buy it when my son started teething (badly) as he simply refused every other type of teether we already had (of course). I was skeptical as to why a toy giraffe would cost nearly $30, but I soon learned it clearly had magical powers. Sophie has apparently been around for over 55 years (who knew!) and is made entirely of natural rubber. She has various chewable parts (ears, horns, and legs) that Noah was able to grasp onto himself way easier than any other teether. She's becoming my go-to baby shower gift and we simply don't leave the house without her!

    PSA: Do not wash Sophie with water or if you do, do not get water into the squeaker hole! I've seen a number of TikTok videos noting that if you do this the inside can potentially get moldy.

    Promising review: "I was super hesitant to spend $25 on a teething toy. It’s honestly just a regular squeaky toy but the other reviews were spot on and my child absolutely LOVES his Sophie. Something about that rubbery smiley giraffe is just so darn appealing to babies. She is without a doubt one of his very favorite toys, especially once he started teething." —Courtnee Thompson

    Get it from Amazon for $22.21.

    22. A pocket-sized, refillable travel perfume atomizer you can fill with your signature scent without worrying that the TSA is going to snatch your full bottle (sigh).

    Elizabeth Lilly / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

    BuzzFeed Shopping's Elizabeth Lilly loves this thing: "^ That's me pumping my signature perfume into one of these travel atomizers I've been using for about a year. It's also great to just throw in your purse on the reg for a fragrance re-up throughout the day. As you can see, it's about the size of my thumb and therefore takes up very little room. Plus! It's smaller than most rollerball travel fragrances you can pick up. This first one is working so well, that I just have the other three in storage. But if this one bites the dust this summer during travels, I'll be OK about digging into my stores to use one of the remaining three...especially at this price point." 

    Promising review: "I bought these due to traveling a lot for work and needing to cut down on the size of things in my carry-on bag for flying. I can bring four different perfumes now instead of one big one. They’re super easy to fill, haven’t leaked so far but I keep them in a sandwich baggie while traveling just in case. I would 100% buy them again." —Emily

    23. Games on the Go, which includes 50 different activities to prevent your kids from constantly asking "are we there yet?" during your roadtrip. 

    Promising review: "For a quick and convenient game that can literally be taken anywhere, this game is perfect! The cost was great, and the games are fun, quick, and can be played by kids and adults of all ages. I would love to see families pulling these cards out while waiting for dinner at a restaurant or while sitting in the subway together rather than everyone pulling out their iPhones! These fun interactive games will get the whole family talking and playing together. Love it! I did notice that on a couple of the cards, my daughter, who’s 8 years old, had to read the card a couple of times or hand it to me to explain to her, but once I read the directions, she was good to go. Overall, a great purchase!" —Julie

    24. SAEM Iceland Hydrating Eye Stick — it'll reduce under-eye circles and puffiness thanks to the glacial waters its formulated with. It's so freakin' cute!!! Who wouldn't want to improve their skin with the help of a lil' polar bear?

    Promising reviews: "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

    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 has been one of the best investments we as homeowners have made. This little guy gets the job done; countless things have been cleaned since we bought it three years ago. My favorite is our backyard pavers. The cord may not be long enough for some users depending on how big the space you are washing is, but for us it works just fine. Highly recommend!" —BSanchez

    26. Joyful Dirt concentrated plant food and fertilizer designed to be mixed into a watering vessel or sprinkled directly onto the soil to help plants grow bigger and faster. And...it's organic!

    Joyful Dirt is a small business based in Portland, Oregon making organic, all-purpose plant food since 2013.

    Promising review: "I never write reviews but had to share what a great find this was! I have routinely killed every living plant I've ever brought home. Joyful Dirt has completely changed that. All my plants look full and healthy with little to no effort on my part! I am so amazed that for teacher gifts this year, I am giving terrariums and will include a shaker of Joyful Dirt to go with each. If you have any trouble keeping plants alive, this is the solution." —KB13

    27. A transparent mouse and memo pad you can use to keep your to-do list under hand, literally. You won't be able to make excuses about "forgetting to call your mom back" when it's written down in front of you all day, sorry!

    Model shows the different parts of the memo pad under the transparent mouse pad
    Amazon

    The pad itself is split into three sections: weekly plans, to-do items, and notes, and the top transparent cover for your mouse is non-slip and waterproof.

    Promising review: "What you see is exactly what you get. There are two transparent sheets to keep notes/cards and such separated. Writing on the mat is very comfortable, and I love being able to use it as a mouse pad as well. This uses a plastic-type sheet so you can just wipe them off. Since this mat can be cleaned, I don't see having to ever buy a replacement unless this one becomes torn. Of course, I did end up buying another one because I originally purchased this mat for work and loved it so much I purchased one for home use." —JC

    Get it from Amazon for $13.88 (available in two colors).

    28. Exfoliating washcloths that'll make removing dead skin (or unwanted tanner!) a breeze. The set comes with eight, so when your partner inevitably asks if they can borrow yours you can give them one of their own without hesitation (which is SUPER nice of you, IMO).

    It's worth noting these are not supposed to be used to exfoliate your face.

    Promising review: "It does what it says it does. Seeing and feeling all the dead skin sloughing off is pretty gross, and my skin is beautifully soft afterwards. If you have very sensitive skin, test this out on your leg before going to town on the rest of your body. For me it feels satisfying, like scratching an itch I didn't know I had. The instructions are minimal so I did have to do a little research to make sure I was using them correctly. Just like any other scrubby exfoliator, using it every day will irritate your skin. It's easy to use in the shower or bath after your skin has had time to soak/soften, and it works best when both skin and towel are damp and not dripping wet. For maximum effectiveness, apply a good moisturizer while your skin is still a little damp." —G.G. Brigman

    29. A Philips compact pasta maker for anyone who is a pasta snob and prefers it freshly made but is simply sick and tired of tediously rolling out the dough by hand. Toss your ingredients into the machine and let it prep Sunday dinner for ya. 🍝

    GIF of reviewer slicing pasta that's being extruded through the pasta maker

    It comes with shaping discs for spaghetti, fettuccine, penne, pappardelle, tagliatelle, angel hair, and lasagna. Plus, there's an included recipe book for meal inspiration. 

    Check it out in action TikTok here!

    Promising review: "I was just as skeptical as you are. I, too, have been doing the old school — make the dough, roll it out, run it through a pasta machine, etc. — method. It's a production, all for AMAZING pasta. With this, you put the ingredients in, push a button, and watch for AMAZING pasta to be extruded. I had hoped I'd be able to multitask a bit more, but it extrudes so fast there isn't much time for other tasks between cutting it. But I think that seems reasonable. The other thing to consider is that you have to be VERY exact with the measurements of the ingredients. I've found weighing them works best. The recipes in the included book work great. Don't use other pasta recipes not developed for this machine unless you are up for some experimentation. The dough will be drier than the traditional method and has to be to feed through the auger and extrude properly. So it also does take a bit longer to cook than traditional fresh pasta, but when it's done it's that same amazing taste and texture!" —Conversio

    30. A portable door lock you can attach to any door and transform any hotel, vacation rental, or room in a guest house into one with a properly functioning lock. It's also a great option for anyone who lives alone and wouldn't mind an extra layer of security in their life. Safety first, friends.

    BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly has a helpful tip about this product: "And if you're flying with this in your carry-on, make sure to put it in an easily accessible pocket. I've had TSA pull me aside a few times to ask about the large piece of metal in my bag." 

    Promising review: "Buy it! Went on a trip and was going to see the hotel without my husband and was nervous. I bought this, and it was so easy to use and safe. I tried myself to open the door a few times, and it didn't budge. If anybody living in an apartment in need of extra security or if they need to take a trip alone and need that extra security while being alone, don't hesitate to buy it!!" —Anna

    31. retro-ish fringe umbrella that'll provide you with shade and the perfect background for your BeReal (if they ever play nice and send out the notification when you actually look good/are doing something photo-worthy).

    Promising review: "This umbrella is exactly what my family was looking for as our everyday beach umbrella — large diameter, high quality, and cute retro design. It is a higher end umbrella but still slightly less expensive than the other big name designer beach gear company that we were considering. It is easy to pop up and stays standing, and we’ve had many compliments from other people at the beach asking where we got it. The customer service from the company was excellent. Would definitely recommend these umbrellas!" —Taryn

    32. Allbirds' new SuperLight Tree Runners to make you feel like you're walking on air — seriously, they're *that* lightweight. They're so breathable you can throw them on straight out of the box and go about your day. (No socks necessary!)

    I was lucky enough to be sent these shoes right before their debut and I am *obsessed* to say the least. I threw them on immediately while prepping my home for my son's first birthday party (seen in the photo to the right) and ended up wearing them the entire day and the next day to a petting zoo. They are seriously comfortable and so lightweight it almost feels like you don't have shoes on. I adore that they can be thrown into the washing machine for a thorough cleaning (especially since I have them in white). They have a supportive, soft cushion that hugs the back of the ankle which is delightful.

    Get them from Allbirds for $115 (available in women's sizes 5–11 and four colors and men's sizes 8–14 and four colors).

    33. cereal dispenser you can fill with your favorites (Reese's Puffs, duh) and toss the bulky box they come in to the curb. They'll keep your go-to breakfast (or dessert, TBH) fresh and make them super easy to dispense. If you have kiddos they'll love using this to grab their own meal in the morning.

    Promising review: "We have three kids and a very small kitchen with very little cabinet/counter space!!! We used to keep our cereal boxes on top of our refrigerator, but I've been trying to declutter and also come up with a solution for our kids to be able to get their own cereal in the mornings. THIS IS IT!!!! It looks great on our counter, and we have very little space, so it fits just right! This has been the perfect solution to giving our kids the independence they need to get their own breakfast! It has been a lifesaver!!! Love it!!!" —tenle

    34. Mighty Patch Rescue Balm to help reduce flaking, redness, uneven texture, and scarring — apply it before you start your next Love Is Blind binge and let it do the work while you indulge in some much-needed brainless drama.

    Promising review: "I absolutely love this product! It feels light, moisturizing, and there’s no scent to it. I’ve been using it for three days now but noticed huge differences after only a day of using it! My skin had never been this clear before and I’ve never found a product quite like this one." —Lily Maloy

    35. A double-walled French press for anyone who appreciates the art of making coffee in the morning (and afternoon, if we're being honest). It comes in so many colors you can choose one that'll beautifully match your kitchen.

    Promising review: "This French press is lovely to look at and works better than other presses I have used. The external finish is high quality, and the (double) filter works really well. I haven't yet tested how long the double-wall feature keeps the coffee warm: The container volume is just the right size for our family, and we just guzzle the delicious coffee right down. I heartily recommend it." —Tina K.
