1. A beloved tightening cream because the 29,000+ reviewers who rated it 5 stars is all the proof you need. It's infused with caffeine, coconut oil, and guarana extract to firm, smooth, and add shimmer to the skin. Plus the vanilla, salted caramel, and pistachio scent is better than any perfume out there.
Promising review: "I am 60 and I could not get rid of the cellulite on my legs. I started using this product six weeks ago and can noticeably see a difference. I apply morning and evening, before bed for optimal results. It goes on smooth and has a creamy, nonsticky feel. The smell is dreamy, and even my husband has commented on the improvement. Make sure you apply in a circular motion for optimal coverage, absorption and circulation." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $22+ (available in two sizes).
2. A teeth-whitening pen that'll be a heck of a lot quicker (and taste a lot better) than those irritating whitening strips that slip and slide all over your teeth. You can use each pen ~20 times and should expect your teeth to lighten 4–8 shades.
Promising review: "I’ve had stained teeth from drinking coffee for over 50 years. I tried brushing after having my daily coffee and even used professional solution in a tray but nothing worked. I used the AsaVea pen twice the first day and saw immediate results. After a week of using the pen as directed twice a day, I’m proud to smile!" —Amazon Customer

3. A pack of foaming garbage disposal cleaners to deodorize your sink ASAP, because if you have to smell last week's rotting veggie peels for one more minute you just might scream.
Promising review: "This product really works! We were dealing with a foul stench coming from our disposal for some time. We tried boiling water, vinegar, etc. This stuff sniffed out the smell real quick and deodorized it as well." —James Tiberius Kirk
Get a pack (good for four uses) from Amazon for $3.78.
4. A Scumbug for slurping up all the oils, sunscreen, and yuckies that are chilling in your pool. Just wring it out when it gets discolored, give it a rinse, and pop it back in the pool.
Promising review: "Scummy water bugging you? I just got this gem of a product last night. Popped it into my hot tub and from the picture I attached, you can see that in just about 12 hours, this little Scumbug ate up all the oil and filth in the hot tub. The water not only looks better, but smells better too! Highly recommended!" —Mickey D.
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
5. A cute portable charger if you're going to be out and about for most of the day and don't want to be without a working phone. This one's itty bitty and will fit in your pocket and has a built-in lightning cable so you don't have to bring yours.
Promising review: "The holy grail of portable chargers!!! I was traveling to Disney for vacation and knowing me, I would drain my battery with just taking pictures alone. I wanted a portable battery but didn’t want a carry a cord either, so I was excited when I found this little baby! It does exactly as described, pretty pink color, and I get one full charge of battery for my iPhone 11. Get it, you will not be disappointed!" —Meghan Doble
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in six colors).
6. A portable heating pad with three massage modes so you can help alleviate period cramps (reviewers with endometriosis rave about this gadget). And — BAM! — you can also flip it around for some targeted relief if you have back pain.
If you deal with painful cramps or back pain, you should check with your doctor before using this.
Promising review: "This had got to be the best thing since sliced bread! Oh my goodness! I drive forklifts so I sit all day and when I'm cramping that's not always a good thing, but thanks to this fancy heating pad that also massages, I am no longer in pain and my work day is bearable! Three heating settings(and it does get hot) and three vibrations. I swear everyone needs one of these! I must tell the world!" —Brittney T.
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in nine colors).
7. A cuticle oil because too many gel manis have destroyed your nails. Sweet almond oil, vitamin E, and jojoba soften the cuticle and strengthen your claws so you'll be proud to show them off.
Promising review: "I was skeptical that this would do anything for my fragile nails. Four months later I'm stunned that my nails are not chipping and peeling like they used to, and even the ridges are diminishing. When I look at the quarter-inch or so of growth from the nail bed that has occurred since I started using this product, I see nice smooth healthy nails. I can't wait to see what they look like several months from now when the entire nail has had a chance to grow out. I apply the oil all around the nail including under the tips of the nails before I go to bed most nights and massage it in while I watch the evening news. It is good to know nice nails are not a thing of the past even though I'm over 50 years old." —All His 247
Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in four sizes).
8. And a nail concealer that'll subtly hide yellowing and staining on your nails.
Promising review: "As a 62-year-old woman who gardens, cleans house, etc., I needed something that improved the look of my nails without looking cheap or crappy. This was more than I wanted to spend on nail polish...but totally worth it. Two coats showed NO ridges and looks better than natural without looking fake or cheap. Totally worth it!" —Unbiased Independent Reviewer
Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in three shades).
9. A salmon oil you can use as a dog food topper to add some omega fatty acids to Fido's diet that may help make their coat soft and shiny, reduce dry skin and itchiness, potentially relieve allergies, and support their immune system.
Promising review: "I have a 15-year-old pittie mix and a 6-year-old shepherd / blue heeler mix and I give them both two pumps of this with their dog food. I initially got this because my 15-year-old is starting to have mobility issues and with the 6-year-old being mixed with a breed that’s prone to hip issues, I figured it’s better to start early with her. We are going on our fourth bottle of this and I’d say after the first month I noticed a DRASTIC change in the 6-year-old's coat. Since she was a tiny puppy her hair has always pretty coarse but now it is so soft. Everyone who is in her life regularly commented on how soft her hair had become and even strangers who pet her comment on it and ask what I use on her. She sheds less as well. I didn’t really notice a difference with my 15-year-old’s coat but I have noticed a difference with his mobility. I give him this salmon oil and Natural Dog Company's glucosamine oil (started at the same time so I can’t speak to this product alone for mobility) and he is not as stiff and able to move around better. If you are looking at purchasing this for mobility purposes I definitely recommend getting both products. :)" —T

10. A waterproof trash can for collecting the inevitable garbage that appears during school pickups and drop-offs, long car rides, and road trips.
It comes with 10 trash bags.
Promising review: "This thing is amazinnggg! If you are (by nature) kind of a mess and unorganized, this will help with that even if just a little. I usually put all my small trash items in my side door 'pocket' and it ends up spilling and then my car becomes a huge trash can time and time again. This car trash can is so easy to install and use. Anytime I’m opening a pack of smokes or gum or unwrapping a straw I just pop the wrapper or whatever it is right in the trash can and it’s never to be seen again! It’s helped keep my car clean and free of trash and if I could give it 10 stars I would!!" —Cody
Get it from Amazon for $9.87+ (available in eight colors).
11. And speaking of trash, a garbage guard if your backyard is a mess of flies. 🤢 It sticks to the inside of your garbage can and releases an odorless vapor that prevents buggies for up to four months.
Promising review: "Got an outdoor can, the kind the mechanical arm on the garbage truck picks up and tips over, with the lid opening by gravity. Placed this on the inside of the lid, near the hinge to lessen the chances of it being scraped off during emptying and no flies/maggots! No apparent odor, just seems to put a big hurt on the fly party that used to be my trash can (litter box contents, remnants of meat, etc.) " —Michael E. Bradley
Get it from Amazon for $8.91.
12. A pair of athletic shorts so you can fool everyone into thinking you got the cutest new flowy mini skirt and then surprise them when you "flash" them to show the built-in shorts.
Many reviewers say the shorts are on the shorter side and recommend sizing up if you want more coverage.
Promising review: "I normally wear a medium in athletic shorts but based off reviews, I ordered a large. They fit great. They are by far the most comfortable pair of shorts I own and I'm obsessed with how soft and flowy they are. They also have a pocket big enough for my phone! If they didn't look like a skirt, I'd wear them everywhere lol...definitely amazing to work out in or just wear for comfort." —Ashli Reger
Get it from Amazon for $14.80+ (available in women's sizes sizes S–XXL and 30 colors).
13. A time-saving fruit and veggie divider because quartering grapes by hand...yeah no thank you!! Parents swear this thing is so convenient because it easy enough and safe enough for their kiddos to use — and the little ones find it fun to use too!
Check out a TikTok of the fruit and veggie divider in action.
Promising review: "If you have toddlers, get it — especially if you're on the fence. I needed something for grapes, blueberries, blackberries and other small fruit and veggies we go through so much. My breakfast was getting cold long before I was done cutting fruit for two toddlers. Most cutters only do one grape or berry, but this one can do several grapes and a small handful of blueberries. We will definitely be getting a lot of use out of it in this house." —Kindle Customer
Get it from Amazon for $9.89.
14. A slow feeder insert that'll draw out mealtime and help reduce your pet's risk of choking, gagging, post-meal vomiting, and bloating. It uses suction to stick right to the food bowl and can be washed and reused at every meal.
Promising review: "I have an Anatolian shepherd who has decided chewing isn't necessary and they are prone to bloat. I got this and could not be happier! So you can trim this to fit a bowl. I ended up ordering him a bigger bowl because he's a big guy. It fits perfectly. It's a soft silicone so it will not rub a raw place like some others I looked into. It's just enough to slow him down without impeding him eating comfortably. I would give 10 stars if I could." —Christi W.
Get it from Amazon $7.99+ (available in three styles).
15. A crystal hair eraser to simply rub off unwanted hair — no wax, no tweezers, no razors, no stingy creams, and no lasers.
Promising review: "I bought this to use on a stubborn patch of thicker hair on my lower calves. It works! I haven't tried it on damp skin but on dry skin it does take several passes (be careful because it can cause irritation). It's a little trickier to get around the knees so I need some practice there but I like that I can get my legs smooth while watching TV. It's really great for touch ups if you miss a spot shaving. No need to jump in the shower for a few missed hairs! For the price it's definitely worth a shot!" —Ariane
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in three colors).
16. A color-changing moisture indicator for anyone staring at their sad, droopy, wilting, or dead plants wondering where they went wrong. Over and underwatering is often the culprit, and this water reader will change color to let you know when the soil is moist or ready for a drink.
Daphne's Botanicals is an Asian woman-owned small business based in Portland, Oregon.
Promising review: "This was a highly anticipated product, and it arrived with great packaging. I was so excited to receive it because I really needed something to help me know when my plants are in need of water since I'm always on the go. I almost broke one of the stems when trying to insert into the dirt. I would suggest using something to losen the area you want to stick these in as they are not as strong. So far, so good. They are doing what they claim. The color changed from white to green and from green to white. I'm excited to see how well they continue to work long-term." —Lilly Moua
Get a five-pack from Daphne's Botanicals on Etsy for $25.
17. A breathable and roomy wide-leg jumpsuit for maximum ventilation in the summer heat. It's like wearing PJs in public except everyone is complimenting you instead of looking at you weird.
Promising review: "So comfy and cute. You can wear them for running errands or anything casual yet it has style. This is a lightweight cottony fabric that fits perfectly. It’s easy to wash and I let it hang to dry so it won’t shrink, which some reviewers had reported." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in women's sizes XS–5XL and in 15 colors).
18. Some restorative wipes so you can rehab front doors and shutters that are looking cloudy and grimy after winter snows and cold winds. These wipes are saturated with a solution that revives oxidized, faded, and sun-damaged surfaces bumpers, siding, mailboxes, grills, garden tools, painted surfaces, and more.
Promising review: "My metal barstools were left on the balcony all winter because of a surprise three-day blizzard. After being buried in snow all winter I thought for sure I would have to throw them out when I saw them in the spring. Looking at them now after using the product, no one would suspect that they weren’t new ones!" —Mom@home
Get five wipes from Amazon for $14.52.
19. A box of dust-trapping sheets because they promise to pick up the pet hair, your hair, dirt, dust, and sand your vacuums, brooms, and dusters. It works on pretty much all the spots that mess likes to collect, and you can even use it in conjunction with a Swiffer, mop, or telescoping handle to clean surfaces high and low.
Promising review: "This product really works! No more just moving that dust around, or throwing it up in the air! This is like memory foam. It molds on to whatever you are dusting and sucks the dust into it. And one piece of the roll lasts a long time (it comes in a roll like TP.)" —Annee F.
Get 60 sheets from Amazon for $14.79+ (available in a various sizes and larger packs).
20. A lawn repair formula that'll regrow the grass so you have something to mow this summer. It's designed to reverse scorch marks from pet urine, damage from digging, and wear in high traffic areas.
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).
21. A pocket-sized, refillable travel perfume atomizer to bring your signature scent with you wherever you go — be it on vacation, to the gym, or just to work. That bulky (albeit beautiful) glass bottle is def not TSA compliant and will take up valuable space in your gym bag or purse.
BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly loves hers. In her own words: "I've been using for about a year. As the reviewer down below mentions, it's great to just throw in your purse on the reg for a fragrance re-up throughout the day. As you can see, it's about the size of my thumb and therefore takes up very little room. Plus! It's smaller than most rollerball travel fragrances you can pick up. This first one is working so well, that I just have the other three in storage. But if this one bites the dust this summer during travels, I'll be OK about digging into my stores to use one of the remaining three...especially at this price point."
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $8.99.
22. A wireless lace bralette for anyone .01 seconds away from setting their wired bras on fire. This little number offers a surprising amount of support, convertible straps, and, most important, a wire-free design that won't make you feel like you're being poked and prodded all damn day.
Promising review: "I have such difficulty finding bras that are comfortable and does what it is used for. This is such a comfortable fit, and so soft. I have found my one and only company to buy from. Bali you are great! And an added bonus, reasonably priced." —Coree Martin
Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in women's sizes S–3XL and eight colors).
23. A peel-and-stick puzzle saver sheets if you picked up puzzles as a quarantine hobby and never stopped. Don't you hate finishing a puzzle and then not having a good way to save it? Enter: these genius sheets, which adhere to the back of your puzzle so it stays together and can properly framed, hung, and enjoyed.
Promising review: "This worked great! I have to admit that I was a bit concerned about how simple it seemed compared to more expensive mounting options, but this was perfect!! It was easy to use — just measure, cut, peel and stick — and has held up great! I used it to hang a puzzle over my Disney-themed workspace, and it was the perfect light weight option. The hangers included are surprisingly strong, and I haven't had any issues with pieces coming unstuck. Flipping the completed puzzle over to stick the sheets on was a bit daunting at first, but we just sandwiched it between two pieces of foam board and it worked great!" —Jennifer M
Get them from Amazon for $6.88.
24. A poolside organizer so you can break up with the flimsy mesh and brittle plastic organizers you've been using to corral all the inflatables, pool noodles, skimmers and brushes, goggles, arm floaties, and swim caps you've accumulated — to little success.
25. A box of disposable face towels because 1) there could be bacteria on your regular face towels (yes, even if you let them air dry), and 2) there could be fabric softener buildup on the towel that's irritating your skin. Disposable face towels may be a more sanitary option for ya, and reviewers say they're large enough and absorbent enough that you can cut 'em in half to make the box last longer.
Promising review: "I will always use these from here on out! i use these after i double cleanse and there is still make up that comes off on these when i use them. These make sure i get everything off my face along with being soooo gentle on my skin. they absorb so much and are so handle to bring on the go. I made sure to put a couple in my personal item on a flight to wash my face when we landed and I'm so happy i had them! I've ordered in multiple size sheets but a little goes a long way with these. Very happy with this product. No more make up wipes!" —Shaun van Huyssteen
Get 50 towels from Amazon for $17.95 (available in larger packs and a travel-friendly set).
26. A Trtl travel pillow that'll cushion your neck and keep it upright — which is the best position to prevent neck pain. Plus, your neighbors will silently thank you because it means you're not flopping your head from side to side and onto their shoulders.
Promising review: "Completely satisfied! I have a bulging disc in my neck and related neck/shoulder pain so I can't afford to fall asleep uncomfortably when I travel via car or plane. This neck pillow looks a little goofy (as most do!) but it definitely works. It essentially helped me sleep sitting up on and off during a 10-hour car trip with no discomfort or pain. Once your head starts to fall to the side just a little, it will hold you up. I didn't feel it was as comfortable or natural putting the support under my chin but it could definitely work that way if your head tips forward when you fall asleep. I will definitely take this on any and all long trips where I want to sleep and ensure I have proper neck support!" —Kris
Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (available in four colors).
27. A no-rinse dog paw cleaner to spare you from having to herd your dog into the shower (which they hate) *or* whip out your mop to clean up muddy paw prints that always follow a trip to the dog park. This cleaner has a built-in brush head whose soft bristles help loosen dirt so you can easily wipe their paws clean.
Promising review: "I'm the kind of pup parent that wipes my dog's paws every time we come home. For the longest time I was just doing water and paper towel, and taking my pup to wash his paws with doggy shampoo when it was too dirty for that. This has been a game changer, especially when I traveled with him in some not-so-clean cities, I used it every time post walk, and felt relieved his paws were clean without having to go through the whole bathtub route. My pup had no issues from day one with me using it on him, perhaps because he was already used to me wiping his paws all the time." —Alice
Get it from Amazon for $20.
28. A cruelty-free rice water protein shampoo bar for helping strengthen and moisturize dry and brittle strands.
Some reviewers swear that this product helped their hair grow. But! There's no scientific evidence that rice water affects hair growth so YMMV!
Kitsch is an LA-based and woman-owned business.
Promising review: "My forever shampoo! I wanted to use this for a while in order to give it a fair review. I found this just looking for a new shampoo, hating most liquid shampoos and how they make my hair look and feel. I have very long, fine hair and most shampoos just make me a greasy mess within a day or so. This shampoo changed that for me. I shampoo my roots two times a week with this bar and my scalp feels so clean afterward. Much less greasy in between washes now. The bar itself smells great, hasn’t broken apart, and lathers easily. I would suggest 'painting' the bar right on your hair and then lathering instead of trying to lather it in your hands like a bar of soap." —Morgan Riddles
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (and check out the conditioner for $13.99).
29. A soft gel footpad if you've got an upcoming wedding and you're already dreading spending the night in a pair of uncomfortable heels. These pads can help absorb shock while walking so you don't have to spend the night glued to your seat or have guests come up to you all night asking if you're OK because you look like you're in great pain.
Promising review: "These are easy to put on, take off, and clean. More importantly, the completely take the pressure off the balls of my feet, making walking painless." —Marcia Rubenstein
Get two from Amazon for $16.99.
30. A high-slit wrap skirt so cute and versatile you can save yourself from trying on every pair of pants and shorts and every skirt you own and consequently dumping them all in the reject pile (aka on your floor). It was always going to be this skirt anyway!
Promising reviews: "This skirt is darling!! The colors and fabric are both better than expected in person. The skirt does have buttons to fasten in place before you tie the wrap, so you have extra security. This skirt can easily be dressed up or down and the quality was nice." —Tracy
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in women's sizes S–XL and 23 styles).
31. A steam cleaner grill brush because McSteamy over here is gonna loosen that burger grease and hot dog char that is gunking up your grill grates.
Promising review: "My first use was on my griddle, which I had previously cleaned, at least I thought I had. Heated the griddle above 400 degrees, wet the brush and passed it back and forth on the griddle and loads of steam just removed all grime from the surface that I did not know was still there. The result was a perfectly clean griddle. I was so impressed with the brush that I bought two more as spares. I also used the brush on my pellet grill and had the same result, a perfectly steam-cleaned grill. My griddle cleaning time after cooking is probably done in about a minute. I put water in a bowl dip the brush in it and pass the brush back and forth across the entire surface and then repeat and do it a second time and done. The brush may be dipped in the water a few times during cleaning to get optimum steam cleaning, but that's it — quick and simple." —Martygraw
