1. Downy Wrinkle Release Fabric Spray, for those days you simply have no interest in breaking out your iron. This magic spray will also help remove any lingering odors from fabrics (the blanket your dog has not-so-subtly been trying to claim as their own) and prevent static cling.
Promising review: "I hate doing laundry. I don’t have a fancy washing machine with a wrinkle setting and usually leave my clean clothes in the dryer or laundry basket for days. They get wrinkled and I don’t iron. I saw someone on TikTok mention this stuff, so I thought I’d give it a shot and HOLY COW is it a game changer. I’m going on vacation in a couple of weeks for a wedding and will be taking a bottle with me! I’m driving so I can take the big bottle, but I have also seen travel sizes for anyone taking a plane!" —EvaAna

2. A cute cropped high neck tank top that'll become your go-to for all of your summer activities — good thing it comes in a ton of colors so you can stock up! It's made of a super soft material you won't be able to get enough of.
I wore this in Deep Blue to see Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, and anyone who is *in the know* will understand just how much thought goes into choosing an outfit for that occasion. I originally was going to go channel "Lavender Haze" with my sister in this top (pictured, left) that is very similar but a little more low cut (my sister wore it instead!). I ended up going with a Midnights x Folklore vibe (IYKYK) and this shirt was exactly what I needed to pair with my cardigan. The material felt almost bathing suit–like and was super stretchy (excellent for anyone who, like myself, is rather busty). I liked that I was able to wear a bralette with it and that it wasn't see through at all. Can totally see ordering this in other colors for the summer!
Promising review: 'You know that TikTok sound that goes 'If I like it, I'll just grab it in another color. If I like it, and they have another color, I'll just grab it' and so on? That was written about this top. It's so comfortable and I can confidently wear it sans-bra (I'm a 34F for reference so that is a BIG deal for me - it never happens!). Consider every other color grabbed!" —Meghan J
Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in women's sizes XS–2XL and 23 colors).
3. Neutrogena SPF 50 sunscreen stick you can glide over your skin before heading to the beach and know you've, at the very least, attempted to prevent getting a painful burn. And there won't be any greasy, yucky sunscreen residue left on your hands!
BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly has tried this out firsthand: "I first bought this for a weeklong Croatian vacation two years ago when I did carry-on, and as long as you are *thoroughly* reapplying, this stuff stays on pretty well. On a beach club afternoon, I did haphazardly reapply and missed a strip on one arm, but I tend to do that with spray-on or lotion sunscreen, too. Since then, I've packed this for any trip I've been on, including a two-day Disneyland trip where I toted this around in my bag and shared with friends. I sometimes carry it with me in my purse on my everyday adventures because I know it's so easy to apply. Also worth mentioning...I am about the palest lady you've ever seen and swear by daily application of sunscreen. But when on a beach trip, I'm constantly swimming in the water and sweating. So yeah, this stuff works.
And if you're a bit hesitant about jumping on the solid sunscreen bandwagon, you can pack a stick of this, knowing you have enough sun protection to get you through to finding some spray-on or lotion SPF at your destination."

4. Paw Paw Wonder Blender makeup sponges to ensure you'll never find yourself without the *perfect* foundation applicator. Reviewers say it's a great alternative to the ever-popular Beauty Blender and adore that it comes with six in the pack.
Promising review: "I’m a professional makeup artist and I can seriously tell you I will never switch again! These sponges are by far better than the leading brands like Beauty Blenders, Real Techniques etc. They are not stiff which makes the makeup apply beautifully and seamlessly. My favorite way to use them is to wet them and wring them out. Order them ASAP! You won’t regret it :)" —Mabel
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.95.
5. I Dew Care's "Tap Secret" mattifying powder shampoo is benzene-free and will be your savior on the days you simply don't feel like (or, honestly don't have the time) to wash your hair. It's small enough that you can keep in your bag and break it out as needed.
The powder-based dry shampoo works just like spray formulas — apply to the area you're looking to refresh and then shake out excess powder with your fingertips or a brush.
Promising review: "This stuff works better than Batiste at absorbing oil. I have very wavy, fine, greasy hair and I can go an additional day without washing it now." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $16.
6. A five-blade travel razor with thick moisturizing bands, a handle, a refill, and a traveling case so you'll never again have to stress about how to pack your razor without it getting dried out (or worse, goopy...IYKYK).
Promising review: "I bought these for a cruise last year. Cruise ship bathrooms are notoriously tiny, in the shower especially. Having the very short, comfortable handle made it extremely easy to shave in very tight quarters. The five blades made for a very close and smooth shave on my legs. All the better for island hopping! Seriously, I can honestly say that these are the best razors to do the job beautifully and comfortably, that I've purchased in many many years!" —CruisnTrkrs
Get it from Amazon for $7.09.
7. TruRemedy Remedy Tea Tree Oil Balm, a non-greasy cream that can help you conquer all kinds of skin issues. It's made with lavender and eucalyptus that is said to help soothe athlete's foot, ringworm, eczema, and dry skin — it's delightful scent is simply a bonus.
Promising review: "Though I was born and raised in the heat of Arizona, as I've aged, I battle a growing problem with heat rash and searched for a product to relieve the itching, burning irritation. Remedy Balm has conquered those irritations. It did sting for a second when applying to cracked areas of irritation but then the sting turned to a soothing sensation of no itching or burning! Definitely recommend!!" —Ms Donna
Get it from Amazon for $18.99.
8. A roll-on migraine stick to help nip your pain in the bud before it gets out of hand and ruins a perfectly good day.
I actually did buy this for my best friend when she was starting to get so stressed out about her daily migraines. It helped immensely!
Promising review: "I can't give this product enough stars! I have suffered from debilitating chronic migraines for years. Prescription medications, while effective, usually make me extremely tired and result in rebound headaches, so I rarely take them. This oil blend is especially great for the days when I have a migraine, but am unable to stay home and rest. This takes the edge off the pain enough that I am still able to go about my day and do everything I need to do. I also love the way it smells. I sometimes roll it on my wrists just to enjoy the energizing fragrance." —Lacey V
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.

9. A stainless-steel tongue scraper with before-and-after photos that prove it really works and will also likely make you a bit nauseas. More importantly, once you introduce this to your dental hygiene routine you'll feel more confident than ever when sticking your tongue out during selfies 😜.
Promising review: "I was a little unsure what to expect. I had never used something like this before, but my girlfriend says my breath stinks and she deserves better than that. I brush and floss, but there is still that 'thing'...that stank under the normal mouth breath. Using this has removed that. Not really sure how it works or why that layer of spit and stuff on your tongue has to smell so bad, but this removes it well and also feels kinda nice. Thank you!" —nick
Get two from Amazon for $9.99.
10. A pack of disposable shower hair catchers to place directly over your drain and toss in the trash when you're done with it — you won't have to to think about all the gunk and germs that might linger on a more permanent hair catcher.
Promising review: "I saw these on TikTok and bought them when I was visiting family. Tried them out and left a few behind for family and sent a few home with family — everyone is now ordering them and using them. They work great. Each one is on its own plastic shield. Just peel off and center onto your floor drain. I leave mine on for two to three weeks. I'm the only one using my shower, but if it's a shared shower probably wouldn't last that long. It's still a great way to catch hair before going down the drain, because we all know, people say they use the traps but they really don't. A must-have!!" —C. Crocker
Get a pack of 25 for $12.99 (also available in packs of 50 and and 100).
11. A spoon holder that'll *put a spell on you* from the moment you put it to work — if you don't have a practical place for a spoon rest this lovely lil' lady will hold onto it for ya and prevent your counters from looking like a potion-gone-wrong.
Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and just had to get it. It arrived very fast and looks adorable! I have a gas stove with grates, so there is no room for a spoon rest. This takes care of that hassle!" —A Power Mama
Get it from Amazon for $16.95+ (available in three colors and two styles).
12. Gold Bond Friction Defense Stick to help you fight 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.
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!"
13. A small lamp with the ability to rotate 180 degrees — it'll quickly become the *~light of your life~*. It has 16 color settings to choose from so you'll always be able to match your lighting to your mood and it has a remote control so you can mix it up without getting out of bed.
Promising review: "I ordered this lamp as a gift for my husband. We just set up a room in the basement where he keeps his records, films, musical instruments, and other fun stuff. We call it the music listening room — he has a stressful job so he really enjoys going down to the basement and listening to a record and turning on some nice mood lighting. I ordered the sunset lamp as a complement to the theme of the room and we just love it. The closer you are to the wall, the more of a defined circle it will cast, and the farther back you move the lamp you will see more of an ambient light instead. It’s a really cool light that looks great next to our other eclectic lights, lava lamps and such. When not in use, the lamp is very small and discreet, just a few inches high and sits on the desk in the room." —MBA Squared
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in two colors).
14. A set of skinny satin scrunchies for anyone who is sick and tired of the thicker ones immediately sliding out of their hair — these will give you all the benefits of using a satin option (less breakage!) even if you have thinner/less hair to hold.
I absolutely swear by these scrunchies from The Hair Edit. I cut my hair short (and am constantly shedding) postpartum and my bigger scrunchies really weren't doing the trick anymore. These thinner options are fantastic! They hold my hair in place without having to be twisted a million times. I typically use them at night to keep my hair out of my face/ off my neck. I also love that they feel soft against my wrist when not in use.
Get a set of four from Amazon for $6.79.
15. A set of genius soda can covers that'll bring some longevity to your favorite beverage — now you won't *have* to chug the whole thing in one sitting if you were only craving a few sips.
Promising review: "Very solid product. It does exactly what it claims to do. It easily snaps on to any can I have, then opens and closes shut again for storage in my fridge. As you can see in my pictures, it’s leakproof when closed. I think it will be a great addition to my kitchen." —w_starling
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $12.55.
16. A pair of beaded fan pull extenders so even if you're sitting in the dark you'll be able to figure out which switch turns on the light instead of the fan. And if you're short (like so many of us) you won't have to jump around like a fool trying to grab the right one since the chains are long enough for you to actually reach it without struggling!
Promising review: "This is the definition of 'product you didn't know you needed because you didn't know it existed.' I was FOREVER pulling the wrong chain on our bedroom ceiling fan. (Want the light off? Oh no...now the fan's on high. Need to change the fan speed? Eek... now you're in the dark.) They're a much better quality than I expected. They're actually quite heavy-duty pull chains, and they add a bit of fun to the decor. (When you notice them — most of the time, who even thinks about a ceiling fan pull chain?) As an added bonus, my infant daughter loves staring at them while I change her diaper or jammies. I tap them to make the chains swing, and it's instant fascination, which helps make my job easier!" —LHD
Get it from Amazon for $5.69+ (available in two sizes and five finishes).
17. A Taylor Swift Little Golden Book adults and kiddos alike will cherish, I'd be remiss not to say it's "the best thing that's ever been mine." The illustrations are gorgeous and it'll look so cute on display in your home.
I have this book (as pictured above) and by that I mean the second I saw it available for pre-order I added it to my cart faster than you could say "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." As the parent of a 1-year-old, I have many Little Golden Books in my home. However, this one is just STUNNING. I'm a big fan of Taylor (obviously) but was really enamored by how beautiful the pages are. I was so excited to read this lil' biography with my son and teach him a little more about someone I adore (which it does a great job of doing in a pared down way!). It's a short book, looks cute on my desk, and is a hit for bedtime story time. What more could you want???
Get it from Amazon for $4.78.
18. A sand-free blanket designed so that sand (or dirt) rolls right off it — because is there anything worse than finding debris in every crevice of your car after lounging at the beach all day? It can fit four adults on it and and folds up nice 'n' small, so you can carry it around with ease.
Promising review: "I walk to the beach and the park with my baby all the time and was sick of my butt getting wet when we sat on the grass and the baby getting all sandy when sitting on towels. I decided to search Amazon for some kind of beach blanket. This blanket wasn’t really what I was looking for, but it did not disappoint! First of all it’s HUGE. I still haven’t used it open all the way yet. It’s compact and easy to carry, I love that there are pockets to weigh it down with sand, that sand rolls right off and that I can just stuff it right back in the little bag without having to fold it strategically when I’m done. I can take the baby to the beach and lay her on her tummy without worrying about sand getting on her hands and face. Great product!!" —Adriana
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in three colors).
19. A bug bite suction tool to help you fight the good fight against mosquitos and other unpleasant bugs that seem to come out of hiding in the summertime — this will help banish itchiness in 30 seconds!
Promising review: "I am an adult who hates mosquito bites, so much so that I often will avoid going outside. I am a mosquito magnet when others I am with won’t get any bites. I will itch for days to the point my bites bleed. With this, I suction the bites a few times and no more itch. If on the rare occasion it flares up a few days later, I suction again and no more itch! I love this thing. If I could give it 10 stars I would!" —Jessica
Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (available in three colors).
20. And a scent-free mosquito repellent you can rely on to keep those lil' bloodsucking buggers at bay while you're trying to take a nap under some trees in your local park.
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 $19.99.
21. Pink cherry blossom–scented garbage bags for anyone who wants to banish the yucky smells from creeping out of their can and replace it with Barbie vibes.
Promising review: "Glad's ForceFlex garbage bags are seriously the best. They're super strong and can hold a ton of garbage without tearing or leaking. Plus, they have this amazing Febreze scent that keeps my kitchen garbage smelling fresh and clean; who doesn't love a good smelling garbage bag? And let's be real, nobody wants to deal with a stinky kitchen. So, if you're in the market for some new garbage bags, I highly recommend giving these a try. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!" —Kelly
Get a box of 90 from Amazon for $20.89.
22. A battery-operated stroller fan with a flexible handle so you can adjust it as needed to keep your mini-me the perfect temperature while heading out on a summer stroll.
Reviewers have also attached it to their little one's cribs and car seats for extra air flow. I personally used this in my stroller during my son's first summer (he was about three months old at the time) and will definitely be using it during our walks this year as well.
Promising review: "As summers get hot I knew I needed a fan for my newborn. This was perfect for his crib side, stroller and in the car. It's quiet, and I love the three settings. I don't use the light but it's nice to have. I can leave it on all night on low on a hot night so my son has some air movement in his crib and a breeze on our walks when his stroller gets stuffy. I fully charged it before I used it so the battery life isn't bad but will only last maybe two hours on highest setting before dying. Battery life is short but not bad if you use it on the low setting. I charge it every few days and its held up nicely. Not too bad for the price." —Queen Sweetnez
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in three colors).
23. A darling daisy blazer that's the fashion equivalent to skipping through a field of flowers — except better because you won't suffer from allergies afterwards 😉.
Get it from our Goodful shop for $166 (available in women's sizes S–L).
24. 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.
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).
25. 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.
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 $8.76.
26. A Veer Cruiser wagon designed for both babies and toddlers so your kiddos can adventure in *~style~*. It has two cup holders, a snack and drink tray, and can be easily hosed down after it inevitably gets dirty, It can also be folded down to be stored when not in use and can be checked like a stroller on most airlines.
Promising review: "After much consideration about what to do about carrying our growing family around, we decided to buy this wagon and I wish we'd done it sooner. This thing is incredible. Setup was a breeze and took under 15 minutes. It's really well built and the design is superb — taking it out of / putting it back in our car is simple and fluid. We can easily fit four kids in here when we're out with friends and our girls and their stuff fit in it no problem — and they love it! Had we known a wagon like this would work this well we'd have ditched the traditional stroller sooner." —Zachary Solomon
Get it from Amazon for $699.
27. A Java Sok to keep your drink chilled, perfect for anyone who is sick and tired of drinking watered-down iced coffee. You can't help it that you had a very busy morning fielding emails — and your beverage shouldn't have to pay the price!
Java Sok is a small business that sells an array of reusable neoprene cup holders designed to keep drinks colder and eliminate condensation.
Promising review: "Obsessed! Great stocking stuffers or a gift to yourself! Will be buying more. I’m someone who takes a while to drink their drinks (mom life) so it keeps my drinks from watering down! Love this product! Feels like a coooozy" —Thumbs up
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in a variety of prints and five sizes).

Promising review: "I am obsessed with these holders! I have a huge stroller that a conventional cupholder won't work on, the Ryan And Rose Cutie Holder is perfect! I am actually order a second one that I can use to hold to hold my cell phone! The uses are endless! Stock up when you can!" —ShopTillYouDrop

Promising review: "Love them! So comfortable! Really your feet will not sweat. I notoriously have sweaty feet and nothing but perfection here. I just moved so I’m walking a ton of laps in my new place. They are great! Easy to slide on. Walk the dog. No breaking in! They are better than my Crocs! 😜" —Laura Green

30. A universal phone shade that'll protect your face from the sun (and make it less likely to burn), but also blocks the light so you can continue to endlessly scroll TikTok and giggle to yourself over the latest dance trends.
Shadey Attachments is a UK-based small business that came up with this idea after seeing people struggle to view their phone while lounging in the sun. The shades attaches to most mobile devices by suction and fans out to protect your face from UV rays.
Promising review: "I ordered this last-minute for Christmas holiday, and I can honestly say, I now can’t use my phone in the sun without it! It took a second to get going and to realize you have to point it at the sun to put your face in the shade (also better for the wrinkles). It's literally the best thing ever for the sun." —Hayley Place
Get it from Shadey Attachments on Etsy for $16.98 (available in six colors).
31. Sorel strappy sandals to support you through everything and anything — farmers market trips, trips to the mall, to grab coffee and go on a stroll with a friend, the list goes on and on! They have a fantastic elevated footbed, a cushy design, and an easy-to-use strap you'll wish was built into all of your shoes.
Promising review: "Love my new sandals! Great cushioning and arch support, sporty look, and the adjustable strap is great for the Florida humidity that makes your feet swell when you walk a bit. I found them true to size. I'm usually between an 8 and 8.5 (usually the larger size in athletic shoes) and found the 8 in these to fit well. Got lots of compliments on them my first day wearing them! So comfy!" —Maggie

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

33. A waterproof light-up palm tree featuring glorious LED lights from top to bottom that'll bring the tropics to your patio even if you've literally never set foot on a beach.
Lightshare is a small business! Reviewer's note that while the palm tree withstands weather well, it is not wind-proof and should be weighed down.
Promising review: "We love our new tree, it's sitting on our porch over looking real palm trees in our yard. We live in the Florida Keys and it fits right in here. We'll keep it up the entire year. Not too expensive either, looks just like the picture when lit up." —Donald S,
