1. An herb savor pod that'll 1) make your fridge look like the future and 2) keep your bushel of herbs fresh long enough so that you'll get the chance to use them in more than one measly recipe.
Promising review: "I use fresh herbs all the time. Too often they go bad before I finish them. I’ve tried multiple things to try to help them last longer to no avail. I bought fresh basil a week and a half ago. I immediately used a bit, then put them in this handy-dandy container. I changed the water once. Last night, I decided to make a little fresh pesto with the basil I had left. It was in perfect condition, and the pesto was amazing! Every kitchen needs at least one or two in it. I’m buying them for my daughter-in-law who also uses a lot of fresh herbs. She’s the gadget queen, so I know she’s going to love them." —Treese
Get it from Amazon for $7.44 (also available in a three-pack).
2. A refillable roll-on sponge sunscreen applicator sure to make putting on sunscreen (both on your kids *and* on yourself) less of a chore. This goes on fast and blends in easily – no mess required!
3. A Shark Tank hit, the Sunflow Beach Bundle — this includes the original chair with *all* the accessories that'll make it the envy of everyone else at the beach. We're talking about a UPF 50+ sun shade, a drink holder, a zippered dry bag, and a towel. This adjustable chair will be the *hottest* spot at the beach, no matter where you set it up.
The chair only weighs 11 pounds and it sits nine inches above the ground. It has a 250-pound weight limit. I own a Sunflow chair and my biggest complaint about it is that my husband and I fight over who gets to use it every time we go to the beach. It's that great. The visor also makes it really easy to work outside as it blocks light that would otherwise make my laptop screen too hard to see. The cup holder is super helpful and it the back adjusts to all the right angles for a good snooze in the sand. I highly recommend investing in this chair if you find yourself spending *any* time at the beach!
Promising review: "Oh, wow. I'm a New Jersey native who has lived at the beach since I was in diapers and this chair must have been designed by someone who was also raised with their toes in the sand. I would describe it as beach royalty, because it feels like a throne. If the price has you dragging your feet, think about what you have spent on beach chairs over the years (and their level of discomfort) and know that this is the last beach chair you will ever buy. It's an investment in comfort for long relaxing days at the beach. Plus the packaging is so fancy, this would be the ultimate gift for a beachgoer." —Dana
Get it from Sunflow for $296 (available in 25 colors/patterns).
4. A modular kids' couch made with sturdy foam and easy-to-clean fabric so you can take your family's play fort skills to the next level, while saving your own sofa from destruction.
Promising review: "This 'couch' is wonderful — exactly what we had been looking for. The covers are super soft and the color is gorgeous. We have built several different forts and tunnels so far and the kids love it! We had a tiny problem with one of the arches but customer service took care of it. I would definitely buy from this company again." —Chris & Charley
Get it from Amazon for $196.99 (available in six colors).
5. A copper cattail wind chime for adding some musical whimsey to your garden, pond, or porch.
This small biz is owned by Jaron, who creates one-of-a-kind wind chimes, bird feeders, and yard art.
Promising review: "Beautiful! We now have two of these adding whimsy to our waterfall. So happy....and they are even dog-proof!! Customer service could also not have been better." —Linda Patterson
Get it from Wind And Fire Chimes on Etsy for $49.95+ (available with or without custom engraving).
6. A pack of four anti-snoring clips you should replace your nose strips with, helping you (and your family) if your snoring is preventing everyone else from falling asleep. IMO, these work far better than nose strips ever did *and* there's no waste!
I love this product so much I am willing to share a photo of it shoved up my nose just to show one off! I tried so many snoring solutions (I'm an actual monster, you do NOT want to hear me sleep) with no luck. I couldn't fall asleep with mouthguards and the different sprays I tried just seemed like snake oil. I used nose strips for a while, but they would fall off at night and didn't do much. These clips WORK! The magnets keep it secure in my nose and it's a cinch to fall asleep, the clips are that comfortable. Plus it looks less dweebie than basically any other physical product I've tried. And snoring? That's a thing of the past.
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
7. A bottle of Champagne shampoo from Cuvée Beauty for folks with dry hair that would gladly drink up a product this moisturizing. This sulfate-free shampoo has heat protection, but it's also formulated to enhance the style of your hair even while air drying, helping prevent further damage from heat tools. It's cruelty-free, color safe, and uses no parabens. Delicious.
I have never raved about a beauty product as much as I have since switching over to Cuvée. I have very long hair that I've dyed red since high school, so I'm no stranger to chemical damage. My texture is similar to the review image above, which means that my hair is a frizzy mess without proper product. I also never style my hair and don't use heat tools, so I need products that work with air drying. I use this shampoo, the conditioner, and their Air Dry Mist and my hair comes out looking gorgeous every time. All that being said, I would buy this stuff for the scent alone! I get compliments on my hair's SMELL all the time. It feels like quite the power move.
Promising review: "This product is like BOTOX for your hair." —Catherine M.
Get it from Cuvée Beauty for $30.
8. A set of TikTok-famous checkered cosmetic bags made of high-quality canvas that's dirt-resistant and easy to clean. If you still fully intend on wearing a full face of makeup on your camping trip this summer...these were made for you.
9. A Digg's pet carrier so your four-legged friend can travel in luxury. This has a five-star crash test safety rating from the Center for Pet Safety, so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and secure. This easy-to-clean bag includes seatbelt clips and buckled straps. The design follows most airline requirements (i.e. it can fit under the seat in front of you) and it has a collar clip so your pet can safely peak out when stationary. We love to see it.
The image on the right is of my cat, Chuck! I recently moved and had a great experience traveling with both of my cats thanks to this bag. It's secure, sturdy, and kept my anxious kittos calm.
Promising review: "The quality is amazing, it was beautifully designed. Everything in this bag was well thought out and you can tell it’s built to last." —Ronald C.
Get it from Diggs for $185.25+ (available in four colors).
10. A belted cordless vibrating heating pad — an accessory designed *for* your body. When you have period cramps that are too much to handle on your own, strap this on and enjoy the three different temperature settings and massage modes for some on-the-go comfort.
Promising review: "Oh my god. This might be the best thing I have ever bought. It gets so incredibly warm. You do need to wear it over clothes to prevent burns but as someone who never finds any heat pack warm enough the lowest setting is exceptionally hot. As someone who has really bad menstrual cramps and chronic constipation this little belt does it all. The heat is so soothing and adjustable and heats up so fast. The vibration is my favorite part. It helps so much with trapped gas and bloating pains, and can even move things along if you’re having a hard time using the bathroom. The various patterns and heat combinations allow this to be truly customizable to however you feel at the time and it’s fantastic. Absolutely worth every cent." —Chloe
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in nine colors).
11. A decadent olive oil cake kit with a vanilla and lemon mix and a bottle of Greek extra virgin olive oil. This is a sophisticated gift that's sure to be a hit with hosts, at a housewarming, for a birthday — you name it! Keep these around and have an excellent go-to gift at a moment's notice.
To bake, the only other ingredients you need are two eggs and 8oz. of buttermilk. Be sure to check out all the entire cake collection. Believe me, you'll be hitting "add to cart" faster than ever before. These are well worth the impulse purchase.
Founder Candice Hunsinger is a home baker turned professional bakery owner. Elia's cake mixes are prepped so that home chefs can bake with simple instructions and high quality ingredients, letting folks enjoy a divine dessert from the comfort of their own kitchen.
Get it from Elia for $30.
12. A Solawave red light therapy wand designed for folks who love a gadget that does it all! This pen-sized beauty tool has four treatments in one: microcurrent, red light therapy, face massage, and therapeutic warmth. If used regularly, this device may help reduce the appearance of dark circles, blemishes, puffy eyes, and crow's feet.
Solawave is an LGBTQ-owned small biz based in Los Angeles.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis loves this wand:
"This. gadget. is. worth it! 👏🏾 Using the Solawave was my first time introducing red light therapy into my skincare routine and the difference in my hyperpigmentation is honestly mind blowing. The tone of my face is much more even and the dark circles around my eyes have nearly disappeared. Essentially, it's like a mix of a jade roller (which I already love using anyway) and an LED mask in one...with microcurrent/vibration therapy, too. You can apply the specific Solawave activating serum or any conductive gel of your choice (I use a different one, myself!) and it will really absorb the benefits when used with the wand. I only use it once every other day (at night) and it's super relaxing. My skin is always ✨glowing✨ the next day!"
Get it from Amazon for $74.99+ (available in four colors).
13. A pair of Orbit sneakers from Snibbs that'll save you this summer if you suffer from sore, sweaty feet. These ultra-cushioned sneakers are also extra breathable. So go ahead, travel to your heart's content all summer long and know that these shoes are gonna keep you comfortable every cobblestoned step of the way!
Promising review: "I love these shoes. I have wide feet that these accommodate and keep comfortable. I work in a service department in a car dealership and they are great for non-slip. My feet would usually be in extreme pain at the end of the day and they aren't anymore!" —Tiffany F.
Get them from Snibbs for $139 (available in women's sizes 5–14.5, men's sizes 3.5–14, and eight colors).
14. A pair of bar soap grips — squish this spiffy tool directly into a bar of soap to keep it off hard surfaces and let air circulate under it, helping your soap dry faster and preventing it from sticking to a soap dish. Avoid slimy, gross bar soap with this, and watch as your artisanal farmer's market hand soaps last *far* longer!
Promising review: "Very good product! I have purchased it for the second time. It allows the soap to hold well in the hand, keeps the countertop neat, and [keeps] the soap dry! This is a great invention and I love love love these little things!" —KINO
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $11.99 (available in five colors).
15. *The* Nurture& Glider Plus swivels, rocks, and has TikTok parents (and this very BuzzFeed writer) going wild. This unreasonably chic recliner is gonna look bright and airy in any room of your house. Its electric design adjusts the footrest, posture, and headrest with the push of a button. Plus, the fabric is stain-resistant. It even has a USB port so you can charge your phone without even leaving your seat. This is the only chair anyone needs. And *everybody* needs it.
This is THE best piece of furniture I have ever owned. Number. One. I am currently almost through my second trimester, so I'm aware hormones *may* have been involved, but I actually cried when I reclined in this chair and realized it had lumbar support. It's so comfortable that I think it's an actual crime it's pitched toward nurseries, because *everyone* should know about, and own, this chair. I am in my library (pictured above, right) sitting in it as we speak. And I have no plans to move anytime soon.
Promising review: "I sit/lay on my glider every day to nurse and sleep on. I exclusively breastfeed my 4-month-old baby so my back and arms are so achy. Good thing I have the world’s most comfortable glider. I tried other rocking chairs from Pottery Barn and Crate & Barrel; they were either too narrow (where I can't sit crisscross applesauce) or too short. Nurture& definitely tops all other products out there in the same price range." —Cat K.
Get it from Nurture& for $1,399 (available in three colors).
16. An adjustable measuring spoon with a sliding handle for getting the exact measurement you need every time. Cluttered kitchen drawers are about to be a thing of the past, people!
17. An Egyptian Moonstone candle that'll be loved by *candle people* who are always looking to try new, sophisticated scents. This has top notes of sandalwood and jasmine with base notes of amber, musk, and powder. Turns out, moonstone is a positively dreamy scent.
I am the person who asks for a candle for every birthday and holiday. I love them so much, too much, and this specific candle is my current obsession! The smell is both musky and sweet and strong without being overwhelming. It's such a treat!
Each candle is hand-poured in the Prescott Mountains in Arizona and crafted with 100% pure, non-gmm soy wax, and lead-free cotton wicks. The company does not use dyes or additives so you know you're getting a clean, eco-friendly burn.
Get it from Enlighten for $28+ (available in three sizes).
18. A vegan and paraben-free self-tanner for folks who would far rather get glowing, tan skin in an hour (and in the AC) rather than baking under the hot sun all day long. No sun damage in sight!
Promising review: "Easy to use. This self tanner is great! It doesn't leave a lingering scent and does not transfer. It developed into a very nice tan, not orange at all! This is a must-have for spring and summer." —Wendy
Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (also available in other shades).
19. A Crack'em egg cracker and spoon rest to keep you from *cracking* under the pressure when trying to add eggs to a meal without getting goop all over your counters.
Crack'em is a veteran-owned small business established in 2013 that specializes in family-friendly kitchen accessories.
Check out a TikTok of the egg cracker in action.
Promising review: "I absolutely cannot believe I'm doing this. I got this because I am ALWAYS having to pick out the shell when I crack an egg, whether for breakfast or my baking. Since buying this, I have cracked dozens of eggs without ANY shells in it. To say I am happy is an understatement. If you don't have one you should rush to get one. We are going to get them for wedding gifts when we know that the couple loves to do their own cooking. Kudos to whoever thought of this. It works perfectly, every time." —Edwin Myers
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in five colors).
20. A rechargeable bubble machine that'll be a blast, literally and figuratively, this summer. Bubbles (billions of bubbles!) are the best incentive to get kids playing outside...allll day long.
This bubble maker includes: a bubble gun, two bottles of bubble solution, a rechargeable battery, a charger, and a plate to place the bubble solution.
Promising review: "I ordered this for my daughter's birthday and she has always loved bubbles!. So when I found this bubble gun on TikTok, it was a no-brainer. The amount of bubbles that you get out of that is so fun and it lights up. It's easy to use and pretty inexpensive for what we wanted. Even the adults enjoyed it." —Tina
Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in two styles and three colors).
21. Some knitted charcuterie for folks who know kids don't have to have the monopoly on adorable decor. How cute would these look in your kitchen?! The answer: very.
Collette Bream's shop was a 2022 winner of the Etsy Design Awards, and it's one of my personal favorite Etsy shops of all time. These items are all handmade by Bream and shipped from Annapolis, Maryland. The shop offers decor, toys, and other soft goods. Believe me, you'll want them all!
Promising review: "These are absolutely gorgeous and so fun! They are such great quality, beautifully crafted, and so creative. The perfect little cultural addition to my son's market stall. Thank you!" —Alessandra Morello
Get it from Collette Bream on Etsy for $48+ (available in five styles).
22. A Luminoodle — an LED strip to backlight your TV so you can bask in the glow of HD quality, without the cost.
Promising review: "OK, people. I don’t write reviews. But this thing is so amazing that I am compelled to tell you that you need it. Seriously. It made my TV look HD. Even better, my eye strain is gone! Amazing. I will be getting more of these for all my TVs." —linschaos
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in 10 styles).
23. A skin-mattifying moisturizer that'll give your skin a shine-free finish, no matter how oily you get during sweat season. It's formulated with aloe vera to help soften skin and with bamboo extract to help absorb oil.
Formula 10.0.6 is a family-owned small business making skincare products that won't break the bank.
Promising review: "I am very skeptical about promises that claim certain moisturizers are for oily skin because, undoubtedly, they leave my skin shiny or my skin becomes shiny throughout the day, especially in humid weather. This moisturizer is a game-changer. I don’t write reviews, ever! But this product deserves it. My skin is hydrated, looks hydrated, and is matte. I like my skin matte, and it will remain that way all day. It smells so beautiful and light. I use a serum underneath, which tends to make my skin shiny, and when I apply this moisturizer on top, BAM! Shine gone. I highly recommend this product. Even if you are unsure, the price is worth the risk." —Roberto De Alba
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
24. A two-pack of boxer briefs reviewers rave about for their comfort and breathability. The shop has dozens of designs, so go ahead and grab a different pair for *every* occasion!
Promising review: "These are comfortable x10! I have tried various brands and felt various levels of comfort. I decided to give these a try. I wore them for the last two weeks and immediately bought another eight pairs. I have found my new go-to!" —Floyd M.
Get them from Pair of Thieves for $26.99 (available in sizes S–2XL).
25. Codenames, a card game that'll be a genuine hit with folks who would like to start getting into game nights but need a little bit of convincing. This cult-favorite game has you working with the other agent(s) on your team to make contact without landing on the assassin. It requires a hearty dose of wordplay, which makes it all the more fun!
Promising review: "This might be the best game I have played since Cards Against Humanity. This is a great game for people that know each other, or a great icebreaker for those who don't. You can be as literal or as creative as you'd like with your descriptions. Unlike other games with cards, the possibilities of card layouts are nearly infinite so you don't have to toss it just because you play it often. At least three other people have bought this game after playing it with us. If you enjoy 'thinking outside the box' this is definitely a game for you." —Kristine R.
Get it from Amazon for $11.19.
26. A portable white-noise machine that's compact and designed for travel. It has three soothing sound settings to help you snooze when you're on vacation and distracted by all the sounds of nothing outside of your city.
Promising review: "I was skeptical at first about how well this little noise machine would work in my hotel room (I am a frequent business traveler). However, skepticism gave way to satisfaction. This little sound machine blocked out hotel noises very well and helped me sleep through the night. For a little machine, it provides very good volume and different noise options. I highly recommend this product!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $25.25 (available in two styles, with a travel case, and in multipacks).
27. A pack of waterproof abstract watercolor wall decals so you can DIY to your heart's content without the patience and attention to detail the actual painting of an accent wall would require.
Promising review: "I was looking for something that would match up my abstract aesthetic and pastel colors. It really adds more personality to my room! It was easy to stick — probably spent 15 minutes trying to decide the best arrangements. I would 100% recommend." —Sofia Camarillo
Get it from Amazon for $10.89 (available in five styles).
28. A pack of three Arm & Hammer deodorizers — place these inside your running shoes and you just might realize your apartment has been smelling...less than fresh...ever since you decided to train for that 5K. These easily eat up that sweaty scent!
You can also use these in your laundry, fridge, closets, and more!
Promising review: "Exactly what I was looking for. I needed something to store in my gym shoes and these are great! Nice fresh laundry smell." —Amazon Customer
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $5.98.
29. A citronella and lime insect-repellent candle with a 25-hour burn time! Keep this on your porch so you can enjoy the summer weather outside, sans bug bites. This soy wax candle keeps mosquitos out of site! Thank goodness.
Hawaiian Candle is a Nevada-based, mom-owned small Etsy shop making tropics-inspired candles, lip balms, and body butters.
Promising review: "I bought this because I'm not a super fan of citronella smell but needed it for the mosquitoes and this is perfect! Smells good and does the job." —annamartinezharris
Get it from Hawaiian Candle on Etsy for $16.
30. A modern waterfall faucet that'll be an upscale addition to any ol' bathroom in your house.
31. A Sriracha card game for couples who are looking for ways to ~spice up~ nights at home. This fast-paced slapping game is sure to have you both in fits of giggles. This is also great for game nights with neighbors and it's kid-friendly!
32. A pack of Medina peel-and-stick floor tiles — these water-resistant tiles are gonna be the chic, Mediterranean touch you've needed to breathe a little life into your guest bathroom.
Promising review: "For under $100 I redid my entire bathroom! We moved into our home two years ago and our small main floor bathroom had hideous orange mosaic tiles. We want to eventually gut and rehab our bathroom but wanted to give it a cheap facelift. Floorpops made that possible and a very inexpensive option! We used caulk to seal some of the tiny gaps and caulked around the tub and underneath the baseboards for a good seal. The tiles are not moving at all and have adhered okay." —Agnieszka
Get it from Amazon for $11.12+ (available in black and gray).
33. A travel shawl with UPF 50+ protection which claims to block 98% of the sun's rays when outside. This is a great accessory when traveling to hot climates where you need the extra sun protection a shawl provides or in chillier climates when wrapping it up as a scarf is essential.
Promising review: "I love my new everywhere scarf/shawl. I purchased the silver for travel and am now wearing it almost daily. It is sooooo soft and versatile. Looks great with jeans and a sweater as a scarf. Looks really nice as a shawl with a dress or slacks and blouse. You will love how you feel wrapped up in it on an airplane or in the car on a trip. Don’t pass up owning this great accessory, enjoy it!" —George K.
Get it from Amazon for $48 (available in nine colors).
34. And finally, a pair of energy-efficient stained glass lightbulbs so you can show off your '90s-child Lisa Frank love all over your home. All walls should be rainbow. Ask anyone.
Sing it, Cinderella!
