1. A portable umbrella with *over 44,000 5-star ratings* — it easily opens and closes with the click of a button so you're prepared for any April showers that come your way. Reviewers love how well it holds up to wind and rain while also being super lightweight and easy to toss in your bag.
Promising review: "Favorite umbrella of all time! I love, love, love this umbrella!! It is my absolute go to umbrella — I'm actually planning on buying a second one so that I can have one at home and one at work, because I'm so tired of trying to remember to bring it with me on possible rainy days!! The single button for opening and closing it is extremely convenient when my hands are full, and I refuse to use any other umbrella because of that feature!!
Honestly, if you want a good umbrella that is gonna hold up, buy this umbrella!! I bought my original umbrella in 2016, and it's still working 100% perfectly!! So, if it's survived my multiple travels, constant use for both rainy days and super sunny days, and it's survived my carrying it between home and work almost everyday, then it can survive just about anything!!" —Kit
Get it from Amazon for $29+ (available in eight colors and multipacks).
2. And surprisingly inexpensive waterproof Chelsea rain boots that boast over 15,000 5-star ratings from reviewers who love how well they protect your feet from the elements while still being supremely comfortable and cute — especially for under $35!?
Promising review: "I got these boots right before leaving on a three-week vacation to Scotland and London. I didn't want to bring big heavy boots in my bag so I got these. They are pretty lightweight and very comfortable. I put an insole in to help with the cobblestone streets but I was able to wear them comfortably through long days of walking. They definitely have a chemical smell when you first open them up, but it has worn off by now." —epop86
Get them from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in women's sizes 4–12 and a variety of colors).
3. A super cute and durable picnic blanket you'll wanna lounge on all day long, because spring is BACK baby!
Plus, the handles make it easily portable!
Amra Goods is a small business!
Promising review: "Beautiful blanket and carrier, great for the park or beach!" —lisshannah
"This thing works like a charm! Soft and cozy, but also durable and insulated enough to keep us dry on a day after rain picnic in the park." —Bert

4. And a waterproof, insulated picnic backpack complete with EVERYTHING you need to have the picnic of your dreams! It has a roomy cooler compartment to keep food and beverages fresh for hours, and a *bunch* of pockets to hold everything from plates and silverware to wine glasses, a cutting board, and other picnic essentials. Did I mention it comes with all that stuff too? Because it does!
It includes four sets of flatware and plates, four wine glasses, one cheese knife and wine opener, a salt and pepper shaker, and a bamboo cutting board — making it a great gift too!
Promising review: "This is one of the best purchases I’ve made on Amazon, worth more than I spent. The wine holder kept the bottle secure, no sloshing or shifting, while we hiked. The internal cooler was the perfect size for a really fun lunch, and kept our food fresh and cool. The plates, cups, silverware, and cutting board were so much fun! My girlfriend said her favorite was the little salt and pepper shakers. Blanket keeps the ground moisture away from the soft fabric top of the blanket. Perfect addition for an outing! Would buy as a gift for someone close to me. I give 5 stars, fun product!" —Michael Steadman
Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in six colors and two sizes).
5. An air purifier to help remove dander, mold, dust, and pollen from the air for anyone whose spring allergies are just waiting for an excuse to inflict their misery.
Learn more about home remedies that'll help tackle seasonal allergies at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "I have severe allergies during the spring and summer months and have tried everything from Nettie pots to OTC allergy medicine to get some sort of relief. If you saw my trash cans they were full of used tissues and I was still constantly sneezing. I saw immediate results with the first few days. I use it at night in my bedroom I have the setting on '2,' which is at the medium setting. The noise level is not that bad; I can still hear the television and hold a normal conversation with my husband. The noise level tends to go away or blend once you get used to it. The results are great. I still have the occasional sneeze and have to use a tissue every now and then but, I am nowhere near what I was. I can finally breathe at night without having to take the OTC medicine. This has been a true lifesaver for me. I will be looking to purchase another one after our renovations are completed in our kitchen/living room. Best purchase ever to get a sense of normalcy in my life." —P. Allen
Get it from Amazon for $69.99+ (also available in white).
6. Some eyedrops if all the flowers launching their pollen into the air is causing your eyes to get all red and itchy. Reviewers love this brand and say these drops can help a lot!
Promising review: "Do you have itchy eyes? Does your allergy season make you want to gouge your eyeballs out with a spoon for some relief? Look no further. This stuff is magical. No eye junk in the morning, no itchy eyes at night. No swollen under eye bags. My optometrist recommended it, and told me to take it every day for a month for improvement. I wear contacts and this prevented me from having to go to dailies! The instructions say wait 15 minutes before putting in your contacts." —Christine Erzig
Get it from Amazon for $11.89.
7. An unbelievably fast and easy-to-use Yonanas soft serve maker capable of turning any frozen fruit into a creamy, sorbet-like dessert in just minutes — *without* having to add any other ingredients! Now you'll be able to whip up a refreshing snack perfect for a warm spring day. Plus, when you're done, all removable parts can go straight onto the top rack of the dishwasher, and the base simply wipes clean.
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
Get it from Amazon for $38.48+ (available in six colors).
8. Some Briogeo's Rosarco Milk Leave-In Conditioning Spray reviewers say helps fight off frizzy hair — something you might be interested in once the weather starts getting humid.
Briogeo is a Black-owned, woman-owned business known for their 6-free hair care products that are free from SLS/SLES sulfates, silicones, parabens, phthalates, synthetic color, and DEA. If you're looking for nourishing shampoo, conditioners, and curl-friendly treatments, you'll find so many goods that'll be a big help for hair styling.
Promising review: "I really like this leave in spray. My hair can get slightly frizzy after blow-drying and styling. Using this before on damp hair really helped my hair to turn out much more smooth and polished. It has a nice light scent and helped reduce frizz for the whole day for me." —Briogeo Customer
9. Or Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray — a heat-activated anti-frizz treatment Kim K's hairstylist swears by to help you achieve celeb-level hair no matter what kind of weather spring throws at you.
Promising reviews: "Let me start by saying that I never leave reviews. But this product is far too good to not review! I live in Miami, which is notorious for intense humidity. I’ve highlighted my thin hair for the past 20 years. Needless to say, the frizz has always been a huge problem for me! I’d blow dry and flat iron my hair beautifully, and the minute I step outside, my hair frizzes. Never in a million years did I think a product would exist that would completely eliminate this problem. I also have tape-in hair extensions, and it doesn’t affect them at all. Product is surprisingly lightweight. I recommend this product to all my friends! I call it MAGIC!" —Gloria Sanchez
"I am in love and I don’t care who knows it! This product is incredible. I have thick coarse hair and my hair looks great on DAY 6 as it did on day one. I live in the south and experience a lot of humidity, baseball caps and swimming pools." —Dana in Franklin
Get it from Amazon for $26.60.
10. A pack of vacuum bags if you're wondering where in the heck you're gonna put all those bulky sweaters until next winter. Now you can store your clothes, towels, blankets, and more without the usual bulk so you'll have an easier time finding somewhere to fit them.
These bags are made with anti-microbial materials so you don't have to worry about things like mold, mildew, or bacteria building up. Plus, it comes with a free travel pump!
Promising review: "This is a supreme product. The bags are made of thick, quality plastic. It is very easy to seal and to vacuum. I placed a dryer sheet in each sealed bag to keep the clothes smelling fresh. My closet looks so well-organized, I have much more room and my winter clothes are stored safely and beautifully. I highly recommend this product." —A.A.
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four sizes, a variety pack, and multipacks).
11. A hammock with a steel stand and carrying case so you can lounge comfortably under the wide-open sky and take in all those rays of sunshine you missed out on during winter.
Plus, the stand is easy to assemble, disassemble, and pack up in the included carrying case for storage or travel.
Long, but worthwhile promising review: "Features to love: The cotton fabric is sturdy and breathable. I never feel stuck to it the way I do in a nylon hammock. The setup/take down is super easy, and the frame is very sturdy — we have definitely put 300-plus pounds in it.
The ability to raise and lower the hammock with the multiple hook positions might be the best feature. I have bad knees and like to get into the hammock from a higher position...no problem. My kids like it lower so they can reach the ground to swing it...no problem.
It works great as a traditional hammock to lie in. It works as a 'swing' to sit on. It has enough fabric that you can cover up if you're cold or want to block out light or bugs.
We have accidentally left it out in the rain several times, and it dries great, hasn't faded from the sun, hasn't had any mold, and hasn't developed any weird smell.
Things not to love: Nothing! This is a great hammock. It may not be as portable as those little nylon hammocks, but if this is for your yard and not for camping, this is hard to beat." —Mary
Get it from Amazon for $72.40+ (available in a variety of colors/patterns).
12. A high-voltage bug zapper if you love everything about lounging around outside in the spring except for the bugs. This lantern helps cut down on the mosquitoes, gnats, flies, and moths in an area 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.
13. A nice shacket for those spring days where it's too brisk for short sleeves, but too warm for a coat or jacket. Reviewers love this lightweight layer and many compared it to a popular and more expensive piece by Free People.
Promising review: "So cute and comfy! Really love this shacket! It’s super soft and comfortable, looks just as pictured. I’m usually a medium or large in tops. Went with a large for a more oversized look. Definitely oversized, super happy with it. Getting more colors!" —Mak
Get it from Amazon for $36.99 (available in women's sizes S–XL and a variety of colors).
14. An Alexa-compatible, ultra quiet air conditioner with an brilliant U-shape design that allows you to almost completely close the window in between its two sections — making it a so much more efficient and less noisy. Once the temps start rising, you'll be glad you invested in this thing.
Promising review: "I don’t usually write product reviews, but I am now because this is one of the best household products I have ever bought. This Midea U-shaped AC is an ingenious design that is basically a split AC system mounted in a window, with the window closing almost all the way through the middle of the unit. The result is a much quieter and more efficient unit, with the noisy part that generates heat on the outside of the closed window. It also looks sleek and modern and the remote control and app are great. I have thought many times 'I wish someone would make a split AC system that can fit in a window without having to install separate units on the roof or wall,' and now they have!" —Ben
Get it from Amazon for $329.99+ (available in three sizes).
15. A durable, easy-to-set-up inflatable pool for anyone with too small of a yard for an in-ground pool, but enough space for the next best thing.
Promising review: "Good size. I'm 5'4 and I bought it for my 3-year-old and 2-year-old for the spring and summer. I didn't need anything huge; I have a nice size deck and we spend a lot of time on the deck so I wanted something big enough for them to have some wiggle room to keep cool but not too big so it wouldn't take up to much room. I also purchased an outdoor grass rug to put it on to protect the bottom of it and keep it from getting splinters (just a suggestion if you plan on using on the deck). It has a drain plug so cleaning and getting fresh water is not hard at all." —Majestic 0220
Get it from Amazon for $51.69.
16. A flexible adjustable mister you can bend into a variety of freestanding shapes and heights *or* wrap around trees and other structures so you can enjoy a cooling mist at any angle when spring temps start to cosplay as summer.
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 mist 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 (also available in multipacks).
17. A bleach-free, no-scrub weekly shower spray if you wanna spring clean, but with as *little* effort as possible. This stuff makes it easy to keep your tub and shower nice and shiny. All you have to do is spray, let it sit, and rinse — and it'll clean and prevent scummy buildup all on its own. No scrubbing or wiping required — hooray!
Promising review: "We cannot BEGIN to tell you what a lifesaver this is! We have two old fiberglass tubs with vinyl shower enclosures that no matter what amount of scrubbing we have done with everything from bleach to cleanser to vinegar and baking soda would NOT come clean. After I took my shower last night, I sprayed down the tub and walls. Within minutes, all the built-up water deposits and dirt and grime began to melt away in front of my eyes. I left it on overnight, and when I got up this morning, it did not look like the same tub and shower. This product is a godsend, especially for old folks like us who have difficulty getting down on our hands and knees and scrubbing anything. More importantly, it performs as advertised. We plan on using it as part of our weekly cleanup routine. This is truly an overnight sensation!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in two scents, two sizes, and multipacks).

18. A pet hair remover for anyone who can never seem to get all of their pet's fur off of their clothes and furniture — especially when their shedding goes into overdrive this spring. This thing has over 103,000 5-star ratings for a reason! Just roll it over your fuzz-covered item of choice, and watch it lift the fur RIGHT OFF.
Promising review: "This hair roller works amazingly well! I’m impressed at how much hair it picked up that I couldn’t even see on my soft surfaces. I’ve been recommending it to anyone with a shedding pet. My husky is in full bloom with spring trying to start in Arizona and this picks up her hair like a breeze!" —aleif
Get it from Amazon for $26.95.
19. A gel callus remover if you wanna give your feet a makeover before sandal season arrives! Reviewers say this stuff helps them achieve the silky smooth skin of their dreams, and that it's way cheaper than going to a salon for a pedicure, but just as effective.
Promising review: “I take very good care of my 67-year-old feet. Always have because I am a distance walker and biker. Yet summer sandal weather in Texas had them looking and feeling less than baby-pink and soft. For me it took only three minutes on the heels and ball of my foot, with a bit on the outside edge of big toe. But WOW, this really worked. In 10 minutes total, I am soft and super smooth and good to go!” —C. brown
Get it from Amazon for $13.49.
20. A pair of under-$18 round circle polarized sunglasses that reviewers say look and feel like ones by *way* more expensive high-end brands so you can look stylish while shielding your eyes from sunny spring days. Plus, polarization can help reduce glare and eye strain.
Promising review: "For the money you can’t beat em! These look amazing on my face like a $300 pair of sunglasses. I have tried multiple pairs and this brand looks and feels comparable to a pair of Ray-Bans and Pradas. I have a smaller face and to me this pair fits the best, perfect for my nose and brow line. I couldn’t be happier, just wish there were 6 stars so everyone would know how amazing they are. If you are questioning whether or not they will look as good on you as they do in the photos, yes...yes they do." —Christina
Get them from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in seven colors/styles).
21. An immunity-boosting allergy supplement for doggos that get extra itchy in the spring. Reviewers say these can help boost the immune system and relieve allergies and skin sensitivities.
Promising review: "My dog loves these. We live in the south so allergies are pretty serious here. When spring came around I noticed he was constantly gnawing at his paw and wasn’t eating as much as he used to. I did some research and found this product. I was skeptical, as he’s kind of picky, but he is obsessed with them. He waits at the pantry door every morning for them. He thinks they are treats. I noticed — within hours — that he was no longer gnawing at his paw and his appetite was also back to normal. When he finished his first tube of these, I decided to wait to order more and see if they really worked or if his allergies just wore off. A few weeks went by and I noticed him gnawing at his paw again and not eating. I ordered them Sunday and he’s back on them again. He was so excited to see them again and is no longer gnawing at his paw :)" —Alyssa
Get them from Amazon for $28.97.
22. A volcanic stone face roller you can roll over your T-zone or other greasy areas to soak up excess oil *without* messing up your carefully applied makeup. Stop buying wasteful oil-blotting sheets this spring and use this instead!
Promising review: "I am so extremely oily. Have been dealing with my oily skin since I was in high school and still dealing with my oily skin in my mid-thirties. The roller worked better than I could have expected and exceeded my expectations. This is life-changing for me!" —Wow
Get it from Amazon for $13.40.
23. A tiny, but surprisingly loud portable outdoor Bluetooth speaker with over 140,000 5-star ratings so you can soundtrack all of your outdoor adventures with stellar playlists this spring!
Promising review: "Wow. When I opened the box and pulled it out I thought it was bit small and surely wouldn't be that loud.... BOY WAS I WRONG!! This FREAKING ROCKS!!! Seriously don't hesitate BUY ONE! The reviews were spot on! Perfect pool side! Best money I've ever spent on a Bluetooth speaker. The wife was skeptical and then I turned it on and she was like wow excellent purchase way to go!" —RIC78
Get it from Amazon for $22+ (available in a variety of colors).
24. A standing weeder here to help you achieve a flawless lawn without ending up with a sore back every time you do yard work.
Made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel, it uses a simple lever system to made weeding easy.
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 weeds 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
Get it from Amazon for $39.99.
25. All Day allergy tablets for anyone who loves everything about springtime other than the way it hits you over the head with allergen after allergen. This generic Amazon brand has over 41,000 5-star ratings, and lots of reviewers claim it's just as effective as Zyrtec without the high price tag!

Promising review: "I have been using this product for many years to treat my allergies and I’m very satisfied with it. It relieves my symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing, itching and watery eyes within an hour and lasts for the whole day (24 hours). It’s also much cheaper than other brands and comes in a large bottle that lasts me a long time, almost the entire year. I highly recommend this product to anyone who suffers from allergies." —Albert A.

26. Or a bottle of Flonase reviewers say can be incredibly effective at relieving allergy symptoms.
I have year-round allergies that go into overdrive during the spring, and while over-the-counter daily medication is hugely helpful most of the time, Flonase is a game-changer on my worst allergy days. I started using it after seeing an allergist who recommended it, and I was stunned by the near-instant relief it offered me. When my nose is totally blocked up and my eyes are desperately itching and burning, all it takes is two sprays of this stuff in each nostril to transform me back into a person who can do fun things like breathe through their nasal passages and open their eyes for more than a half second at a time. I used to use it only when my allergies were at their worst, but my doctor actually recommended that I use it daily during allergy season to help prevent my symptoms before they even start. I will never go another spring without this stuff.
Promising review: "This is a great alternative to taking other allergy meds that just treat the symptoms. I have found that Flonase stops my allergies from happening before I even start to have symptoms. It is easy to use and lasts for quite a while. I would highly recommend." —Lydia Olson
Get it from Amazon for $11.98.
27. Connectable Edison bulb string lights to ensure that all of your patio parties are truly ~lit~ this season.
Promising review: "I have ordered four boxes of these light sets now. I love love love these lights. When they arrived, I plugged them in while in the package to make sure they all worked. Then I unscrewed all the bulbs to make it easy to hang. I hung them up all around my balcony using a staple gun. When I finished I screwed the light bulbs all in :) I would highly recommend these lights. They are PINTEREST perfect!" —Cora
Get it from Amazon for $16.95+ (available in multiple styles and sizes).
28. A durable, Shark Tank-famous Rumpl outdoor blanket – it's super portable, waterproof, and dirt-resistant so you can use it for backyard picnics or to stay warm and cozy when spring nights get a little chilly.
Rumpl is an Oregon-based small business specializing in outdoor blankets that donates a portion of its revenue to environmental nonprofits.
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.

29. A portable bug bite suction tool that reviewers say can help reduce itching and swelling from a mosquito, bee, or wasp sting by literally SUCKING the venom right out of your skin!
Note that the suction can be pretty strong, so use caution and try a small amount of suction first before working your way up if necessary.
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 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 three colors and multipacks).
30. Some reclining zero-gravity lounge chairs with attachable cup holders to turn your yard into the ultimate relaxation station this spring. Plus, you can fold them up for easy portability if you wanna take 'em on the go.
Promising review: "Heaven in a Chair. Love everything about the zero gravity chair! This is my first experience sitting in a chair like this... and I love it. I fell asleep outside, and it felt better than a hammock. I bought the beige... love the color. The fabric feels like a tough nylon. It has already rained on my chair, so I can attest that the chair is waterproof. The water beads off the fabric. I dried off the chair easily and effortlessly. The attachable table is adorable and fits perfectly on the frame of the chair. So happy I purchased." —tgi2day

31. And a durable adjustable folding umbrella for when you need somewhere cool to ~chill~ on warmer spring days or simply to help block the sunlight.
Snag a compatible weighted base so that your umbrella doesn't blow away!
Promising review: "I like this umbrella because it has sturdy spines and base instead of those thin, wiry spines on some umbrellas. Much better to hold up to being upended in the wind. It also has the tilt feature, which is great to be included in this price point. The cloth covering is thick and will hold up to the elements. Also, the size is perfect." —Sarah
