1. A headrest hook to keep your purse nearby so you're not the driver who turns around to dig through their purse in the backseat and misses the green light. It'll also help prevent the contents of your purse spilling all over the car floor if you take a turn too fast or have to slam on the brakes.
Promising review: "These need 10 stars! So very handy and great stocking stuffers." —K. G. Latrobe PA
"These hooks work great and function exactly the way I had hoped for! I actually turned them around and use them for the front of the seat, rather than the back. These hooks have solved the dreaded 'bag dump' when you have to break suddenly. No more lunch spilling all over the inside of my work bag!!" —KLGS

2. A microwave veggie steamer if you can't be bothered to boil a large pot of water just for your single serving of veggies. This steamer has a 2-cup capacity, so it's great for anyone who's cooking (or steaming) for one.
Promising review: "This is the perfect little steamer to make single servings of steamed veggies. My 4-year-old son FINALLY will eat broccoli willingly when I steam it in this little gadget. In fact, he’ll actually request it. I love that he can have a serving of veggies in under three minutes without the hassle of boiling water or buying those big packs of steamable veggies that we never finish. It’s also very easy to use and clean. It’s the perfect little appliance to have around the kitchen if you’ve got little ones or just want a single serving of steamed veggies quickly without all the hassle." —Jason Kuntz
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
3. A set of adjustable clip holders for when you're wearing a racer-back top and need to hide your bra straps. These clips attach to both straps across your back, so from the front no one can see your bra straps.
Promising review: "If I could I would give this product 10 stars! This is just what I have needed. Such a simple solution for a troublesome problem." —Mrs. VRJ
"My bra straps spent more time off my shoulders than on them. I have bras that fit perfectly, but the straps are too wide-set or something. I'm so glad I bought these little bra strap clip holders because they've solved the problem. I've used them for three days now, and my straps have not fallen off of my shoulders even once in that time. Amazing! I love them! I put a clip holder on my bra and then put the bra on like a T-shirt — over my head, put my arms in, then fasten it as usual in the back — pretty easy. The length of the clip holders are adjustable. I have fully extended them to fit across the back of my 38DD bras. At first it felt a bit odd because it was different, but it doesn't take long to adjust to the feel of it. The strap clip holders do the job, and they are pretty cheap, so give them a try." —Polly Esther

4. A Bissell Little Green machine because your living room looks like you're running a doggy daycare out of it. This portable upholstery and carpet cleaner cleans deeply, penetrating household fabrics and even car interiors to erase any sign of your pet's accidents.
Promising review: "Wow this carpet cleaner is so amazing! I am thoroughly impressed with how easy to use this is and how quickly it made my dog urine–infested carpet so clean and smelling fresh. On top of that, it was extremely satisfying watching all the dirt and gunk get sucked up. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would!" —Jess
Get it from Amazon for $108.
5. A pair of copper-infused arch supports that'll support your feet without hindering your range of motion. Reviewers swear by them for combatting pain from fallen arches, flat feet, bunions, heel spurs, plantar fasciitis, and arthritis.
Promising review: "Love, love, love, love, love! I have plantar fasciitis and high arches and suffered with pain and uncomfort. I was looking for supportive shoes and stumbled upon copper compression bands and decided to give them a try. Best purchase ever! They immediately give support, stretch the foot, and relieve pain. I recommend the gel ones with the pad at the bottom for cushion on your arches but both provide the same effectiveness. I wear them to bed every night, when driving and around the house. I have given them as gifts to several family members and friends, all of whom love them! I couldn't say better things. 6/5 stars!" —nicole kuester
Get two from Amazon for $21.95.
6. An inflatable pool with a built-in seat so you can make your dreams of relaxing in a pool on a sunny spring day with a glass of sweet tea a reality — even if you have a small backyard.
Promising review: "I have had this pool for about two weeks now and I LOVE IT!!! It was simple to set up. I got a little electric pump and it took about 10 minutes to inflate, then about half an hour to fill with water. Pay attention to making sure you set it up on level ground or it will be lopsided. I live in South Carolina so it is already hot and humid, and I use it about every afternoon. It is probably good for two adults, maybe one adult and a couple of kids. The built-in seat and headrest are really quite comfy and relaxing. I will definitely buy this same pool again if it springs a leak and can't be fixed. If I could give it a 10-star rating, I would. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" —kathryn j.
Get it from Amazon for $50.99.
7. Or a durable dog/kiddie pool to stand up to your pups' roughhousing. These are portable and fold down so you can store them in the garage for next summer.
Promising review: "I bought this pool for my grandson who is 1.5 years and loves the water. His best bud is a Rottie. My daughter in-law states she loves that the pool fills without issues, drains easily, is very portable, and my grandson son can jump/dive in, which collapses the sides and it pops right back. Overall they gave it 10 stars. They are thrilled with it, and it was well worth it." —Sandra
"Our toddler's favorite inflatable pool sprung a leak at the worst time. Luckily this was available with Prime 2-day shipping. Not only is it a better, more durable product, but it's also easier to empty, clean, and fold. I'd give it 10 stars if I could!" —Sad Robot
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in five sizes and two colors).
8. An EasyWring microfiber spin mop if you're envious of the sparkly clean floors you see on #CleanTok. Its specially designed microfiber mop head (which is machine washable, btw!) is so effective at grabbing dirt and grime that you can skip the harsh chemicals and clean with just water! And ofc it has a built-in wringer and splash guard (no one wants dirty water splattered on their face!).
Promising review: "Wish I could give 10 stars! We just moved into a new build and the drywall dust was nearly impossible. After scrubbing on my hands and knees, my friend suggested the spin mop. Initially I was underwhelmed looking into the box but then after using this mop was amazed. Definitely worth the money." —becky fleck
"This mopping system is the best thing since sliced bread! I highly, highly recommend this system, especially for those of us who have arthritis in our hands and find it difficult to wring out cleaning rags and other types of mops." —Heart2heart
Get it from Amazon for $32.97.
9. K18, a leave-in reparative treatment for anyone who's put their hair through the wringer. It's fan-flipping-tastic at restoring moisture and softness in your strands if you frequently bleach or chemically treat your hair, or if you use heat-styling tools often.
I bleach my dark brown-black Asian hair blonde every six to eight weeks, so I was immediately intrigued when I first heard some stylists at my salon raving about K18. And it turns out the rest of the world loves it too, because it was sold out at Sephora the first time I tried to buy it. I eventually snagged a itty bitty tester on Amazon and was gobsmacked at how much softer my hair was. Seriously. I spent the whole day touching my hair, and even my boyfriend agreed that my mane was noticeably silkier.
Olaplex was my go-to before I tried K18 and I still stand by it as a product, but I really love that K18 is a leave-in treatment rather than an in-shower mask. Having to let the Olaplex sit for 10 minutes felt like forever, especially when I wasn't taking an everything shower (you know, the ones where you exfoliate and shave). With K18, you let it sit in your hair for four minutes post shower to activate and then you can style your hair (or just let it air dry like I do).
I've found that my hair is softest the next day, so don't be discouraged if your hair looks or feels the same the day you use it. One last thing: it is pretty pricey but a little goes a long way. The 5 mL tube I bought has lasted ~five washes, and eventually K18 can become a maintenance product so you won't need to use it every time you wash your hair.
Promising review: "Can I add 5 MORE stars?! This product is a game changer in so many ways. So simple, so quick, so effective. My hair has never felt softer, shinier, and somehow as if I've got more of it. I believe this is partly because I'm getting some of my natural texture back as it becomes healthier with every K18 use. I'd recommend this product to literally ANYONE who has hair!" —CJaymes
Get the trial size (5 mL) from Amazon for $15 and the mini size (15 mL) from Sephora for $29.
10. A backless maxi dress because it would truly be a shame to deprive your Instagram followers of a few photos of you in this stunning number. The open back allows for maximum cooling so you don't look like a hot sweaty mess in every vacay photo.
FYI, this is included in Prime Try Before You Buy so you can test it out before committing if you’re a Prime member!
Promising review: "Love love love. I love the color — it's exactly like the picture. I get so many compliments every time I wear it. I would rate this 10 stars if I could." —Pj
Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in women's sizes S–XL and 24 colors).
11. A set of kinda genius soda can covers that'll cut down on all the fizzy drinks you're wasting (and all the money you're throwing away!) when you don't finish the can. Instead of having to toss half the liquid because it'll be flat the next day, just snap on a lid so your bubbles stay bubbly until you're ready to finish them.
Promising review: "Great way to drink half a soft drink and save the rest in the fridge but still keel the carbonation fizz. I've tried several different types of 'keepers' and these are absolutely the best. I'd give them 6 stars. Size, fit, and function are all A++. I've bought them twice now so I have spares." —thomsix
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $10.99.
12. A set of two adhesive shower shelves so stacking your bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash doesn't feel like playing Tetris on your shower's ledges.
Promising review: "I would give it 6 stars if I could. I did my research before getting this. I looked at almost all similar products Amazon carried. I couldn’t have made a better choice buying this. It’s extremely sturdy and it sticks extremely tight to the tiles we have. The area I have it attached frequently gets wet, but it hasn’t affected the strength of the adhesive yet. It has little hooks and you can hang almost anything to it. I’ve put my razor on it and it works just fine! This is definitely a good buy." —Mona
Get it from Amazon for $34.59 (available in two colors).
13. A soufflé-like moisturizer that's heavy on hydration but light on the skin. It's made with calming ingredients to soothe redness and inflammation while quenching your dry skin's insatiable thirst.
I recently started taking prescription retinoids, and my skin has been DRY. The quest to find my goldilocks moisturizer — one that was not too thick, not too thin, but just right — involved a lot of trial and error. Some moisturizers left me flaky just a few minutes after applying, while others left me feeling slick and oily. This moisturizer, however, has ticked all my boxes. It's incredibly moisturizing and absorbs quickly so I don't feel greasy. And it hasn't irritated my skin, which has become super sensitive (especially around my nose and mouth) since starting the retinoids. I'm working my way through some free samples I had of this moisturizer and plan to splurge on the full-size version.
Promising review: "If I could give this 10 stars I would. For people with dry and combination skin it is soooo nourishing and worth the money. A little goes a long way; this lasted me three full months. I LOOOOVE this so much. It was a game changer: My face was so much brighter and dewy after a week of using. It’s a must have." —tmittchh
14. A professional-level grooming kit if you're tired of the stress of a trip to the groomers. This at-home kit comes with a grooming brush, a deshedding tool, a trimming tool, a nozzle head, and a cleaning brush so you can accomplish any grooming task you need without causing you or your pet any unnecessary anxiety. But the best part is the built-in vacuum and collecting container, which means that as you brush them, loose hairs are sucked up right away, so you don't have to brush and then vacuum.
Promising review: "Whoever invented this, thank you!! This is a dream come true. I own five lion head bunnies and they are furry. I’ve been grooming them myself at home for the past two years and it was hell until I bought this. Just to give you an idea of how much hair is on one rabbit, I fill up two vacuum canisters every time. It use to stress me out just to think of how long (2.5 hours) it would take with one rabbit. Now it’s 45 minutes if that. And no cleaning up the floor or hair all over the place. I’m so happy I purchased this! It’s totally worth every penny and if I could give 10,000 stars I would. Buy this. It will make you happy." —Maribel
"Not a paid review! I love it, and if I could give more stars I would. It arrived today and I already used it on one of my dogs. The other ones are not sure about it yet. It’s really dummy proof; you can’t mess nothing up. I mean it’s perfect. You got everything you need to make your fur baby beautiful. It has every attachment you can think of for grooming and for yourself as well. So, I feel like if you have a pet this is a must have." —Emma
Get it from Amazon for $159.99.
15. A pair of flatform espadrille sandals for an easy, breezy, goes-with-everything spring and summer shoe. Reviewers swear these sandals are super comfy for folks with wide feet. Plus the flatform and ankle strap offer a little extra height without the pain and wobbly-ness of regular heels.
FYI, this is included in Prime Try Before You Buy so you can test it out before committing if you’re a Prime member!
Promising review: "If I could give 100 stars I would! Excellent sandals and so comfortable! I have wide foot and when I put them on I was on heaven! Looks like it was done right for me. My first shoes from Amazon and the made me so happy!!!! Got two different colors!" —oksana
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in women's sizes 5.5–11 and a variety of colors).
16. A cooling mattress topper because you shouldn't have to sacrifice breathability for comfort. This mattress topper will make your hard-as-rocks mattress feel soft and cushy again without causing you to wake each morning drenched in sweat.
Promising review: "I was not that hopeful but this topper is amazing. I have a pillow top mattress that gets super hot. In fact, after you get up, where you sleep is as warm as a heating pad. The cover was much thicker than I thought it would be (a plus) and I've used it all week and have not once woken up drenched in sweat. It's cool and so comfortable. I would give it 10 stars if I could." —C. COX
Get it from Amazon for $39.90+ (available in sizes Twin–California King).
17. An ingenious sandwich cutter and sealer that'll help you whip up homemade Smuckers Uncrustables (with the filling of your choice!) and save a heck of a lot of money.
Promising review: "If I could give 10 stars for this product I would!! Where has this been all my life?! Our 7-year-old is a picky eater and would live on Uncrustables if we let her. Now that we can make our own I am just so thrilled! Not only that, but it’s easy enough for our 7-year-old to use, and she had so much fun making her own PB&J sandwiches for lunch today! Looking forward to making a bunch of these and freezing them! Thank you so much for inventing such an amazing product!" —Ron M.
Get it from Amazon for $19.96.
18. A flowy maxi dress so you can feel like you're on a tropical vacation while you're sitting in your stifling apartment on yet another Zoom call.
Promising review: "I LOVE this dress! I would give it more than 5 stars. This dress is dressy enough for a nice wedding or casual enough to wear to work. I love the fit and the fact that I can tie the dress around my body to give it a perfect fit. It is very comfy." —Emma W.
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in women's sizes S–XXL and 26 colors).
19. A roll-up straw hat to keep the sun out of your eyes and protect your face from sun damage (it's UPF 50+, which means it blocks 98% of the sun's rays) while you're enjoying your tropical vacation. And it rolls up so it takes barely any space in your already crowded carry-on bag.
Promising review: "Wish I could give more than 5 stars!!! This hat is the best! It travels and packs well, and is so versatile you can wear it with most anything. I’ve taken it on vacation to Mexico, New Orleans, the Jersey Shore, and Cape Cod. It keeps the sun off your face and neck while still looking fashionable. I also wear it while walking my dog and just sitting on my deck. The best compliment I got was from my hubby, who noted that I am really getting my money’s worth out of this hat (if you knew my man, you would understand that this comment is fantastic!). I think this might be my go-to Christmas gift for all my girlfriends this year!" —Meg C.
Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (available in 21 colors).
20. A genius sliding glass door if you hate having to stop what you're doing to let your dog in and out every 10 minutes. This renter-friendly door installs in one piece and sits on sliding door tracks. It has a built-in door flap to allow your cat or dog to roam freely (and you can close access to the flap whenever you want!).
21. A 4-in-1 inflatable pool float for making pool time even more fun. But beware — it's so dang comfortable that you might want to buy two so you don't have to share!
Promising review: "Would give this 10 stars if I could! I took three of these floats on vacation to the Caribbean and could not have been more impressed. I was definitely skeptical that the two inflatable pillows would keep us afloat but it worked great. Use it as a hammock with your head on one pillow and your legs over the other. It can be used as a chair if you sit in the middle and have the pillows under your arms. Either way they worked great in the calm Caribbean. Not sure how they would fare in rougher surf, but for calm waters or a pool it is perfect. The vinyl is surprisingly thick and all three we purchased did not lose even one breath of air. The only thing negative I would say was that we could not inflate it with our breath. The valves were so airtight that we had a use a small hand pump to inflate. Definitely get a pump. You’ll turn blue trying to blow it up by mouth. We were just planning on leaving the floats there, but they were so great we packed them up and brought them back home." —Brett Rigby
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in 17 colors).
22. A beloved tightening cream because the 20,000+ 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.
23. A set of bleed-proof fine point pens because there's nothing more satisfying than a to-do list, journal entry, or page of school notes that's perfectly color coded.
Promising review: "I wanted to make my notebook planner and my journal more colorful but I didn't want to use pencils. I came across these and was excited to try them out! When they got here, I tested one. I found they were easy to write with, easy to hold, and they didn't smear! This was a big reason I don't normally use pens or markers because I am a lefty and everything smears when I write. These don't do that. Even when I tried! I loved them so much, I bought another pack a day after my first pack arrived! Would give 10 stars if I could!" —Taryn Taylor
Get a set of 18 from Amazon for $8.69.
24. A standing weeder so your back isn't screaming in agony because you spent all afternoon hunched over plucking weeds. (My back hurts just thinking about it!) Thankfully, this tool has three steel claws that grip weeds and roots so you can pull them out while standing.
Made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel, it uses a simple lever system to made weeding easy.
Promising review: "Must have! If I could give this a sixth star...I would." —Shawndell Johnson
"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 weed 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 on Amazon for $39.99.
25. A hammock chair to turn your porch into an oasis. It can support up to 320 pounds, and has built-in pockets so all your relaxation essentials are always nearby.
Promising review: "We decided to put a pair of hammock swings in the yard behind our house by the stream. These were the perfect fit! They are comfy, allow you to sit up or lay back, and are super sturdy. My husband built a sturdy platform, but sturdy hardware is required to hold a big guy up, and this hardware met the match. Everything about this product was quality, and well worth the money. Now it’s cloth…so don’t be thinking you can leave it out when you’re not using it, unless maybe it is under complete climate control. We take ours in after every use to preserve it, and besides…I don’t want any bugs nestling in under the pillows. I give it 10 stars." —susan
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in three colors).
26. A treat-dispensing toy if your pup gets up to no good when they're bored. This durable pouch holds treats, frozen snacks, smears of peanut butter, and kibble. You can even freeze the treats inside to prolong the fun! The curved bottom causes it to roll erratically, so your dog will have a blast chasing it every which way. Pop it in the dishwasher when it needs a cleaning and it's ready to go for the next time boredom strikes.
Promising review: "I’ve only used this twice but both times have been approximately 35-minute adventures for my dog. He’s a 1-year-old German Shepherd with lots of energy and strong jaws. He will give this 100% attention the entire time he is using it and even after he’s done he likes playing with it. Definitely worth the money! If I could give this more than 5 stars, I would!" —Lauren
"If I could give this more stars I would! My dog absolutely loves these! I squish a banana in there, freeze his dinner, or just throw in some treats! Doesn't matter, it's a winner. Extremely durable, super easy to clean, fun!" —courtney
Get it from Amazon for $15.16+ (available in two sizes and three colors).
27. A set of motion sensor closet lights for illuminating every inch of your closet and proving your sister right once and for all: She did not steal your favorite shirt. In fact, I can see it right there.
These rechargeable lights offer three light mods: day mode, night mode, and always on mode so all the scary spots in your home are well-lit and (I hope) a little less spooky.
Promising review: "Perfect for my dark closet and the hallway! I can’t believe how easy it was to set up these lights. My closet has lots of homeschool supplies and toys for kids, but it was so dark and I wanted some spot lighting in the closet. Then I found these on Amazon and gave them a try. When I received them, I was pleasantly surprised by them. Super easy to install. Just peel the sticker and stick them on the wall! There’s a button on the side. Just turn it on and test it! As soon as I open my closet door, it turns on!!! When it’s time to charge, you can easily take it off since it’s connected by the magnetic strip. So fabulous!!! I also installed one at the hallway right outside my kid's bedroom to keep them safe when they go to bathroom in the middle of the night! Highly recommended!! I’d give 10 stars if I could!!" —Erica Yoon
