1. An outdoor bug zapper to help you get rid of gnats, mosquitoes, flies, and more in your yard. This can cover up to an acre of outdoor space, so hanging out on your patio this spring just got a whole lot more enjoyable. More than 17,000 people swear by how effective it is!
Promising review: "Exceptional product. We were infested with mosquitos so badly that we never wanted to use our lanai. Now, thanks to the Flowtron Bug Zapper, that problem is nearly solved. Since deploying this product, there have been noticeably fewer mosquitos. This thing is a well-constructed machine that can destroy thousands of mosquitos. It has been perfect for us. I highly recommend it!" —CD

2. A standing weeder that will easily pull weeds out by their roots, without you having to uncomfortably bend or get down in the dirt. Yard maintenance is one of the least fun parts about warmer spring weather, so you might as well make it easier on yourself with the help of this popular tool.
Made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel, it uses a simple lever system to made weeding easy. Grampa's Gardenware Co. is a small, family-owned business based in Oregon making tools for gardening. They've been making this tool since 1913!
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 $44.99.
3. A magnetic screen door so you can get some of that fresh springtime breeze circulating through your home without letting all of the bugs inside. The magnetic closure makes it helpful for pets and kids that are constantly going in and out of the house as soon as the weather gets warmer.
Magnets and a Velcro-like strip run along the entire length of the screen door.
Promising reviews: "We got this screen so our dog can go in and out freely without letting the bugs in. At first he wasn't quite sure about going through it; in fact he scratched at it signaling us to open it for him. But after a few training treats he figured it out. Installation was so easy! The Velcro, fabric, and mesh all seem very good quality. I'm also happy that we can take down the screen in the winter and store away easily, then just reattach it in the spring. Very happy with my purchase!" —Crystal K
"Screen was super easy to install. The area around our doors are wood so I used the included push pins to apply it instead of the adhesion strip and it worked perfectly. Our dog has already figured out how to go in and the magnets close it behind him. So excited to be able to leave my doors open this summer without bugs!" —Alexa B.
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in four sizes).
4. A dog spot repair solution to help you fix up any dirt patches in your backyard that could use some extra help. Thanks to this mix of mulch, soil, and seeds, those pesky urine or digging spots in your yard will be lush and green for your next outdoor gathering.
Promising review: "I have lacrosse players and dogs and this stuff is amazing. My yard looked like an abandoned lot before this and it literally 'grew anywhere' just like it said. The bag I planted last year actually came back strong this year so I put more down and it is working like a dream!" —chchmom
Get it from Amazon for $16.44+ (available in five sizes and in packs).
5. A soothing saline nasal gel that can help moisturize your dry, stuffy nose. Spring allergies can wreak havoc on your nostrils and cause irritating dryness, but thanks to this non-greasy aloe gel, you don't have to suffer through it.
Promising review: "I don't like to talk about it, but every year my nose becomes super dry to the point where I sometimes get a bloody nose. I usually use some squeeze saline, but it got so bad this year that I decided to get this gel. A dab on a finger or a swab and my nose is hydrated, moistened, and not dry as a desert. No winter bloody noses! It is very light, is not slimy or like Vaseline, and it does not have any smell." —Catherine
Get it from Amazon for $3.62.
6. A bleach-free outdoor cleaner — it lifts dirt and grime from all different surfaces, including your cement, stone, siding, wood, roof shingles, and more. It'll help you blast away all the grossness winter left behind on your house and walkway.
Just connect the sprayer to your garden hose, spray, let it sit for 5-10 minutes, scrub as needed, and rinse it off.
Promising review: "I first used this product about two years ago on the awning on my RV. That awning was so bad, that I thought I was going to have to replace it. After using this Scott's product as directed, the mold and mildew completely disappeared. This product definitely works and it works GREAT! What more can I say — it saved me nearly $500." —R. Latreille
Get it from Amazon for $10.98.
7. A clear bubble umbrella so the rainy season doesn't have to kill your vibe and distract from your cute outfit.
Promising review: "I love this umbrella! It rains all the time here in the Pacific Northwest, but I didn't want to stop my daily walks outside — this baby came to the rescue. It's not too heavy to carry, looks super cute, is VERY protective of the elements, and you can see through it, so it doesn't feel like as much of a barrier as other umbrellas. The only downside is that the long part is not collapsible, but I don't mind because I keep this at home when not in use. Highly recommend for outdoor walks." —Nina
Get it from Amazon for $16.20+ (available in five designs).
8. And a 100% waterproof, satin-lined Hairbrella, because you spent way too much money on that cute hairstyle to have the rain destroy it. This will easily fold up so you can stash it in your bag and the satin interior will help you avoid frizz. Plus, the visor will help keep your makeup on point, too!
Hairbrella is a Black-owned small business established in 2016 that specializes in hats that both look cool and protect hair from the elements.
Promising review: "This hat arrived just in time for my trip to Niagara Falls. I have braids and this hat protected my hair completely. The visor provided excellent protection on The Maid Of The Mist as well as the walk behind the falls. This is a must have." —sandra l darrett
Get it from Amazon for $39+ (available in nine colors).
9. A pack of Miracle-Gro indoor plant food spikes to infuse fertilizer and micronutrients into your plants after they may have been a bit neglected during the winter. Now your indoors can look as green and happy as the outdoors.
Each spike can be used for 30–60 days, depending on the season. The reviewer pics above are all of the same plant — the far left photo shows the plant in its droopy, original state, the middle photo is a slightly perkier plant just 10 days later, and the right photo shows the happy, lifted, and healthy result after three weeks!
Promising review: "I always kill my plants but I decided to try again. I just bought five houseplants, and three of them were marked down because they were looking pretty puny. Since I tend to kill them anyway, I figured I would give them a try and save some money. I put one of these spikes in each plant and they all looked so much healthier and happier after just a couple days. I also added one spike to the only houseplant that I've had for years without killing (I was beginning to think it was artificial), and the leaves looked healthier almost immediately. I'm very happy with this product, and it was at a great price." —victoria
Get two packs of 48 spikes from Amazon for $10.95 (available in various quantities).
10. And a pack of butterfly-shaped sticky stakes that'll help rid your precious plants of all those pesky flies and gnats invading their space (and your home!!) now that it's warmer outside.
Promising review: "These are a must, especially in the spring, for almost every one of my house plants to keep the small gnats at bay. They are easy to use and very sticky so be careful you don’t get any of your leaves stuck to them. Very effective, and I change them out often so I always get the larger quantity." —PR
Get a pack of 40 from Amazon for $7.99.
11. A waterproof rain jacket with a hood to keep you prepared for all the upcoming spring showers. This will help you stay dry and protect you from the cold wind. Plus, it's lightweight enough to carry around and comes with a convenient little storage pouch.
Promising review: "I got this a little bigger to go over my sweatshirt and it was perfect. It is super lightweight and kept me dry. It also helped lock in some extra warmth so that was a bonus. It's the perfect little rain jacket for the price." —Amie Linsday
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in women's sizes S–XXL and 29 colors).
Or check out this rain jacket that comes in plus sizes!
12. A tube of Black Girl Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30 to use daily that'll protect your skin from the sun and provide moisture without the annoying white residue that is usually left behind. Although you should wear sunscreen year-round, it's especially important now that you'll be spending more time in the sun.
Black Girl Sunscreen is a Black woman-owned business that was founded in Miami in 2016. The brand's products are cruelty-free and formulated without parabens or other harmful chemicals.
Promising review: "I know as women of color we worry about that ashy/white cast type of look when we put on sunscreen or looking oily, but this sunscreen doesn’t cause either one of those things to happen. It blends into the skin very well immediately, it doesn’t have that sterling sunscreen smell and a little goes a very long way. I highly recommend!" —Kayla
Get it from Target for $15.99, from Amazon for $10.97, or from Black Girl Sunscreen for $18.99.
13. A microfiber dusting glove so you can eliminate the dust that's been collecting on your blinds and shelves. If there was ever a downside to spring, it's definitely allergies!
Promising review: "Do you hate having to dust around things? I know I do. This glove is ideal — you can just wipe away dust while easily maneuvering around odds and ends in your way. Because it’s your own hand inside the glove it’s also easy to maneuver over oddly shaped things like silk plants or blinds. I absolutely recommend this!" —Katherine Wise
Get it from Amazon for $11.68.
14. And speaking of allergies — a squeegee broom with a 100% natural rubber brush that picks up pet hair like a magnet. It works on carpets, rugs, hardwood, and linoleum, so your pet's shedding won't take over your entire home.
The built in squeegee edge can also be used to clean windows, showers, and windshields. Use it to clean up liquid spills on tile, concrete, or any hardwood surface too. It's basically a must-have to keep your floors shining.
Promising review: "This thing just plain works. We got a mature golden retriever last year and were told he didn't shed. Then in the spring he started shedding badly. We were tired of hair everywhere and I found this product on a whim one day. I ordered it and it was tough at first. The bristles pulled the hair up but then caught the tufts and spread them around. I found that using short quick strokes with the rake turned upside down got the best results. The backside is like a squeegee and helps pull the hair up in long rolls and keeps the hair in one big pile." —Nick V.
Get it from Amazon for $12.98.
15. A pair of quilted rain boots that are just as cute as they are practical. No more wet, soggy socks when those April showers come rumbling around. Some reviewers also love these for gardening!
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 to 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 $29.99+ (available in sizes 5–9.5 and eight colors).
16. Or a pair of waterproof sneakers perfect for anyone who hates the look and feel of rain boots, but also hates ruining their not-so-waterproof kicks.
Promising review: "I bought these shoes for a trip to Alaska where I knew that it would be rainy and wet. They were perfect. My feet stayed dry and when they got dirty I was just able to wipe them clean ... I've even worn them to football games where sometimes people spill beverages and my shoes were able to stay dry and again I just had to wipe them clean. Plus they look cute." —Yvonne R.
Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in sizes 5.5–11 and 11 colors and styles).
17. A bug bite suction tool that'll be super useful to carry around as the weather gets warmer and the bugs start swarming. It works to remove insect venom, saliva, and other irritants that get left under the skin using a small suction.
Bug Bite Thing is a family-owned small business established in 2017 that specializes in bug bite relief products.
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 was 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 $9.95 (available in three colors and two-packs).
18. A Living Proof de-frizzing dry conditioning spray to tame up to 92% of the frizz that's holding you back from a phenomenal hair day. This wonder spray helps to add softness, smoothness, and shine to hair by replenishing its natural oils. It's also a great solution for using in-between wash days.
It works on both straight and curly hair textures!
Promising review: "This lightweight spray de-frizzed my hair amazingly well. I have tried numerous products and have tried every concoction possible and nothing smoothed my hair like this did. My hair feels soft and looks shiny. Worth every penny." —Darla
Get it from Amazon for $33.
19. A tennis shoe cleaner that'll take even your most rough-looking pair of shoes and help them become presentable again. It even comes with a brush for scrubbing the dirt away. It's time to restore those Air Force 1s you wore out into the rain and mud back to their former glory.
This will work on leathers, vinyl, nubuck, suede, canvas, and cloth.
Promising review: "I have had my Nike Roshe runs for about a year now, and I don't go easy on them. I play sports and run in the dirt with them all the time, but I also like to wear them for fashion purposes. Pink Miracle helped restore my daily shoes to look like I just bought them — now I can wear them for even longer. Very pleased with Pink Miracle, I will buy it again when I run out of my bottle." —Romario
Get it from Amazon for $17.97+ (available in two sizes).
20. The ChomChom pet hair remover roller sure to *amaze* you with how much hair it picks up from your furniture. Furry friends are the best, but a couch full of hair during shedding season is NOT.
Promising review: "I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." —Joanne Ertel
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in four colors).
21. A Sun Joe pressure washer that'll get your outdoor furniture clean as new after the winter weather made you question replacing them altogether. You can also use it to get all of that wet mud off of your fence and driveway.
Promising review: "Great product at a good price. Used this power washer to wash my stucco house for pre-painting. Unit worked as advertised. Fairly quiet, but yet powerful sprayer. Great customer service and would highly recommend this product to anyone." —Boy Wonder CTS
Get it from Amazon for $229.99.
22. As well as an instant stain remover spray to ensure all of the black mold and mildew are gone from your patio chairs. Just spray it on and be amazed as it starts to remove all the grossness instantly.
Promising review: "I have a small three-tier water fountain in my patio, naturally the birds in the community have come to rely upon it for drinking and bathing. I literally sprayed this product and walked away, I actually left it on overnight, I got busy with other tasks. When I checked back all of the mold was gone, everything, with no damage to the painted stucco wall or cement and no scrubbing. Literally spray and leave." —Mark
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three sizes).
23. A garbage guard that'll kill insects living in your trashcan and help prevent new infestations. Just attach the pod to the inside of your can, and it'll last for up to four months. This may give your partner some competition as the household "bug-killing champ."
Promising review: "I've got an outdoor can, the kind with that 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! There's no apparent odor, it 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 $9.84.
24. A thick sweatshirt with a satin-lined hood for anyone who loves to wear a hood in the spring, but worries about their hair getting frizzy. The high-grade satin helps promote moisture retention in your hair and protects it against breakage — while also keeping you cozy and warm on a chilly day.

25. A dual-zone comforter ideal for couples who have very different body temperatures. Sometimes 63 degrees in the spring is freezing for one person and warm for the other. This will help you both sleep peacefully.
Promising review: "This comforter is what we’ve always needed. My husband and I are always tangled in blankets because I need more but yet they always end up on his side. This comforter provides an all-in-one solution that keeps me warm and him cool and our bedroom looking calm and zen." —Hannah
Get it from Amazon for $134.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors).
26. A portable paw cleaner for preventing your pup from tracking mud all throughout the house after they had a ball running through the wet grass in the backyard.
Promising review: "This product is great. My puppy is a digger and we have red clay type dirt. It gets her paws clean fast and easily. So much better than having to get a bath every time she digs." —Mandi Bultman
Get it from Amazon for $14.94+ (available in three sizes, eight colors, and with or without a lid).
27. A pair of lace thigh bands that'll protect your thighs from the pains of chafing when you want to wear a cute spring dress.
Promising review: "Ladies, we can finally toss the deodorant...these things work! I was hella skeptical because my thighs are resistant to any sort of chub rub defense. I wore them while walking at least five hours at a music festival and they stayed put without me ever needing to adjust them! I couldn't believe it! My delicate inner thigh skin was preserved; not a chub-rub in sight and they're so feminine and romantic-looking that I didn't even care if someone caught a peek at that beautiful lace. Way sexier than my usual biker shorts. Love that I can wear dresses all day now without worrying about my thighs overheating." —OceanHips
Get them from Amazon for $20.69 (available in sizes S–3XL and 19 colors and styles).
28. And a pack of DressWeights, which subtly attach to the hem of your dress and help you avoid any windy day mishaps. 💃🍃 Now you can wear that skater skirt without fear!
The adhesive is strong but removable, so they can be used again and again! These clever babies are from a New York-based, woman- and family-run small business.
Promising review: "These are, hands down, a complete lifesaver. I recently attended a multi-day conference event, where wardrobe malfunctions weren't an option. Add in mid-Atlantic summer breezes and skirts and well, you have a potential disaster on your hands, right? NO. These babies will keep your hemlines down where they belong, and they work hard without being cumbersome. They're lightweight but dense, can easily be adjusted or moved without removing the backing, and they come in their own case — what more could you ask for?" —tahlia pankau
Get a set of four from DressStrong on Etsy for $13.29 (originally $18.99).
29. A lemon-eucalyptus spray so you can stay outside and enjoy those longer days without getting eaten up by those pesky mosquitoes.
It's made with lemon eucalyptus oil (not DEET!) and is supposed to last for up to six hours.
Promising review: "After an endless amount of North Carolina spring/summers searching for a 'safe for the family' repellent, I stumbled upon this. I had ordered a bottle of Skedattle repellent and a three-pack of this because the reviews for both were high and seemed like a sure thing. The three-pack of this was the same price as one bottle of the other. Well, the Skedattle didn't do anything for those freaking mosquitoes, they still swarmed us like we weren't even wearing anything. But this product, OMG! It actually worked, and not only did it just work, it worked GREAT! I tried a few different trips with this stuff on, and the kids use it every time they go out, and we hadn't had a single bite with it on. I will say though, it has a VERY strong smell, and you definitely want to make sure you reapply this as needed, but other than that, it's a great product. I won't use any other spray from now on." —Will M.
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $16.52.
30. A jar of The Pink Stuff — this famous all-purpose cleaning paste has over 140,000 5-star reviews for a reason! 🌟 It can help remove even the toughest stains, dirt, grime, and rust from your appliances, walls, dishes, glass, floors, you name it! So, basically, it's a must for your spring cleaning checklist.
Promising review: "Honestly I was very skeptical when I first purchased. Everyone on social media was talking about how amazing this product was for cleaning around the house and I just thought they were all jumping on some kind of bandwagon. Of course I caved and had to try it for myself. Needless to say I’m very impressed! It removed stubborn mold and grime from my shower tile grout with use of a hard-bristle toothbrush. It removed hard water stains from my sinks and faucets. I noticed it really does remove mineral buildup, but it takes a lot of elbow grease and repetitive applications before you start seeing progress. The texture feels similar to when you mix honey with sugar to make a lip scrub, except it’s super-fine grit and more pasty like putty or clay. It works amazing so far! No overpowering smell (barely any smell at all), easy to use, and a little product goes a long way. I haven’t tried it on rust yet so we’ll see how that goes. Overall very pleased and impressed so far. Highly recommend!" —Marissa
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
31. A pair of waterproof Columbia hiking boots that are more than a worthy investment for anyone who loves to hike, especially this time of year. Not only are they cute and available in tons of colors, but they'll also keep your feet dry, supported, and stable on slippery terrain.
Promising review: "I needed a waterproof boot that would also be good for lots of walking. I did a lot of walking in Ireland and Scotland, mostly in rainy weather, and these boots were true to their description. My feet were dry and comfortable." —Louise M.
Get them from Amazon for $38.14+ (available in sizes 5–12, two widths, and 21 colors).
32. Burt's Bees after-sun soothing lotion so you can get some sweet relief from that angry sunburn that appeared with a vengeance during spring break — despite the fact that you reapplied sunscreen all day! Uhhg. This soothing lotion uses aloe and coconut oil to moisturize, refresh, and calm your skin.
It doesn't contain any parabens, phthalates, petrolatum or SLS.
Promising review: "Whenever someone I know has a sunburn, I become that super annoying product-pusher friend. I tell everyone about the sun soother! Really, Burt’s Bees should pay me. It rubs into skin like lotion so you don’t feel greasy and can immediately put on clothes after application. A little goes a long way! It smells good without being overpowering (and I’m picky about scents!). Most importantly, it works! I’ve had everything from slight burn to looks-like-a-lobster-feels-like-fire and this sun soother has eliminated the pain/itch and drastically reduced the eventual peel. Highly recommend!" —Jessie Patterson
