1. A Yonanas fruit soft-serve maker because reviewers swear it gives frozen fruit the texture of ice cream or sorbet. Now, you can gobble up your dream flavor combinations. And it's great for folks who have dietary restrictions.
Promising review: "I saw one of these in action at a friend's house like five years ago and thought it was just a made-up memory because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems wild. But when I saw a TikTok about it, I immediately went to Amazon and bought it. Literally, this was the BEST decision of my life. I cannot believe still how amazing this thing is! It makes the creamiest, best-tasting fruit ice cream ever. It's easy to take apart and clean, and super easy to use." —DMCKAY

2. A Dr. Scholl's heel repair balm for anyone with heels so cracked and dry that they refuse to let other people see their bare feet. This intensely hydrating salve comes in an easy-to-apply roll-on formula, and is designed to soften and protect the skin and fill in heel cracks.
Promising review: "Guys, in just a little over a month, my feet have had SUCH a transformation that I haven't seen in over 10 years 😭 I'm only 30, but I've had problems with my feet since I was a teen. I've always been so insecure about them for obvious reasons. My feet literally shredded sheets! I've tried so many products I've lost count! None of them did anything. Wasted time, money, and hope! But this product — it's given me my feet back 😭 I don't have to wear socks EVERYWHERE anymore! I will never buy another product!! My favorite part is that I don't have to put nasty creams on my hands to rub into my feet anymore, either. I love the large lip balm–type tube because of this!" —Amber

3. An anti-humidity spray if you want to give humidity a metaphorical middle finger. This spray creates a waterproof coat around your hair that blocks out moisture (that eventually leads to frizziness). As if that wasn't already magical enough, this effect lasts up to 72 hours or through 2–3 shampoos!
Promising review: "This stuff is fantastic. I used it at an outdoor wedding in South Florida when the temperature was in the mid-80s and humidity at 92%. My normally super frizzy hair looked great the whole evening, no frizz at all. Make sure you use enough and blow dry until it is completely dry. Would give it 10 stars if I could!!!" —victoria e.
Get it from Amazon for $24.37.
4. A Trtl travel pillow that'll cushion your neck and keep it upright — which may help you arrive at your spring break vacation destination without 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 to put 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).
5. A WD-40 pen (A pen! Genius!) so you can enjoy the squeak-quieting, hinge-lubricating, rust-preventing powers that you know and love from traditional WD-40 but in an easy-to-maneuver precise pen tip. So go ahead and get your spring makeover on!
Promising review: "I love WD-40 products and use them for everything. I spray on shovels to keep dirt or snow from sticking, spray around windows and thresholds to deter bugs, clean Sharpies off wood and walls, and, of course, stop squeaky doors. These small direct-point application pens are great. Keep one in the glove box, my kitchen 'junk' drawer, and in the house toolbox." —BBP623
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $14.99.
6. A shoe stretch spray to soften too-tight boots, loafers, sandals, gloves, and more. You paid good money for those super cute leather boots and by golly you're going to get them on your feet, muscular calves be damned.
My colleague Amanda Davis swears by this spray. Check out her Foot Matters Shoe Stretch spray review for more deets!
Promising review: "It deserves 100 stars. I wish I found it years ago. This product is slightly life-changing, and I'm not kidding!! I had to abandon shoes for a rubbing in the wrong spot or because they were really close to fitting, but something was not quite right. I got a really great deal on an expensive pair of sandals; they were gorgeous yet a tiny bit tight, and the leather was firm. I was about to send them back, but I loved them so much I thought maybe there was a product. It perfectly softened and stretched the sandals. I've since used it for a few different pairs of shoes with fabulous results. Best purchase!!! Nothing better than comfortable shoes!!!" —Clm75
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
7. A cuticle oil that'll restore your shredded nails after a gel mani. A combination of sweet almond oil, vitamin E, and jojoba softens the cuticle and strengthens your claws so you'll be proud to show them off.
Promising review: "This product is amazing. I've always had acrylic or dipped nails because my real nails have always been brittle and always break and peel. I decided to give my nails a break and wanted to try and grow them out. I can't even believe the outcome! They are stronger than ever and growing! I really wish I had taken a before pic to show the difference!" —JOE D.
Get it from Amazon for $9.90.
8. And on the topic of nails, a smudge-correcting clear nail polish so it's NBD when your painstakingly painted mani gets crinkled because you *thought* your nails were fully dried but learned they were most definitely still slightly wet after you buttoned up your pants.
Promising review: "This refreshes my worn-out manicure very well. I apply this as a topcoat over my old manicure. It respreads and smooths out the polish and leaves it fresh and shiny. It's a bit pricey, but it does save me a lot of time and trouble not having to repolish my nails." —SoniaSophia
Get it from Amazon for $20.
9. A dry shampoo powder if you're looking for a travel-friendly option (it's a powder, not an aerosol can) to mattify your roots, absorb excess grease, and help extend the life of your hairstyles between washes.
Promising review: "I've always needed dry shampoo for my top roots, which get oily far before the rest of my hair. THIS is by FAR the best I've ever used. The applicator is genius — it goes on so easily. And I've NEVER had a dry shampoo last like this for DAYS! It's easy to work with my fingers, and it is a wonderful volumizer. The size is great for travel. I hope they never change the formula — it is just wonderful — even the very light, delicate fragrance is perfect. I give it 100 STARS for its safety, convenience, design AND for all the time it saves me." —Lexi Jean
Get it from Amazon for $18.
10. A lawn repair formula that'll regrow the grass that died over the winter so you have something to mow this spring! It's designed to reverse scorch marks from your pet's urine, damage from their digging, and wear in high-traffic areas.
Promising review: "I used this in the spring to fill out our lawn more, and it worked great! I was worried because I feel like you always hear grass seed horror stories, but I just raked our lawn good, spread seeds all over, and watered it once (sometimes twice) per day, and it filled the lawn in beautifully!" —Mariah
Get it from Amazon for $16.44+ (available in five sizes and four styles).
11. 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 $13.05.
12. A heavy-duty grooming rake to take control when shedding season starts. This brush is designed for pooches with thick, dense fur or double coats.
13. And a pet hair remover because you *didn't* prepare for spring shedding, and now your home is paying the price. Roll it over your couch, bed, favorite blanket, you name it, and watch it lift the fur away. See, we can own nice things!!
Promising review: "This hair roller works amazingly well! I'm impressed at how much hair it picked up that I couldn't see on my soft surfaces. I've been recommending it to anyone with a shedding pet. My husky is in full bloom with spring trying to start in Arizona, and this picks up her hair like a breeze!" —aleif
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in two colors).
14. A pack of DressWeights for saving the day when you're legally required to wear a dress (aka the first day of spring where temps rise above 70), but a stiff breeze has you holding down your dress and waddling like a penguin.
DressStrong is a small business based in New York City. Christina, the owner, came up with the idea in 2012 to save us all from unwanted Marilyn Monroe moments.
Each adhesive should last ~six uses with proper care.
Promising review: "What an amazing invention! I had my bridesmaids use these for my destination wedding. I got married outside in a very windy gazebo, and they worked like a charm. Highly recommend!" —kimberlyo143
Get four weights from DressStrong on Etsy for $15.
15. A CeraVe salicylic acid body wash if warmer spring weather is causing your keratosis pilaris to flare up. It exfoliates without the harsh microbeads, erasing rough and bumpy skin while leaving behind moisturizing hyaluronic acid and calming niacinamide.
Promising review: "My 6-year-old daughter has keratosis pilaris, commonly known as 'chicken skin.' This year, it really flared up during warm weather, so I gave this wash, along with lotion, a try. Wow, I saw results after just a few uses, and after a couple of weeks, most of her bumps disappeared. Thrilled we skipped a trip to the dermatologist! Can't beat this price for the results either." —Ashley Steigerwald
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
16. A mosquito repellent that creates a 15-foot skeeter-free zone because these pesky bloodsuckers have ruined far too many spring days by making it absolutely miserable to be outside.
Promising review: "I bought this because I was looking for an effective insect repellant for my patio this spring/summer. I didn't want a bulky candle or tiki torch that smelled like canola oil. I found the Thermacell. It looked modern and promising. We tried it, and it works really well. It also produces no smell or sound. We live in the south where mosquitos are really awful, and the Thermacell made sitting on our patio tolerable! Definitely recommend." —Trusted Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.01+ (available in 10 colors and multipacks).
17. And a high-voltage bug zapper so you can say goodbye to not only mosquitoes but also gnats, flies, moths, and other insects within an acre radius.
Promising review: "We live in the woods on a lake in Bluegrass Country in Kentucky. The bugs were ridiculous when we first moved here! I bought one of these last spring as a test and was so impressed I purchased two more. They absolutely crush the flying insect population in short order! This spring, we have noticed a huge decrease in bugs, which we suspect is due to the significant depopulation of the breeders last summer. We leave ours on all year round, and some are zapped even in the dead of winter, but during the spring and summer? My gosh! We have to use a leaf blower to clean up under the units nearly every day! Even our nearest neighbor (about 200 feet away) says they've noticed a big fall off in bugs in their yard since we put up our units." —Paul
Get it from Amazon for $59.65.
18. An immunity-boosting allergy supplement to help your poor pup find relief from itchy skin and seasonal allergies. These soft chews deliver a dose of probiotics and other nutrients to help improve immune function, aid digestion, promote healthy skin, and add shine to a dog's coat.
Promising review: "My dog loves these. We live in the South, so allergies are pretty serious here. When spring came around, I noticed he was constantly gnawing at his paw and not eating as much as he used to. I did some research and found this product. I was skeptical, as he’s kind of picky, but he is obsessed with them. He waits at the pantry door every morning for them. He thinks they are treats. I noticed — within hours — that he was no longer gnawing at his paw, and his appetite was also back to normal. When he finished his first tube of these, I decided to wait to order more and see if they really worked or if his allergies just wore off. A few weeks went by, and I noticed him gnawing at his paw again and not eating. I ordered them Sunday and he’s back on them again. He was so excited to see them again and is no longer gnawing at his paw :)" —Alyssa
Get 90 chews from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in five styles).
19. And a pack of Burt's Bees cat wipes because your cat's dander production goes into overdrive in the spring, leaving you a sneezing, drippy-nosed mess.
Promising review: "Our son was having a lot of dander on his back near the base of his tail. We kept up the brushing, but it wasn't going away. Looking at the reviews, I decided to go for the dander wipes. Well, I have used it twice and was blown away. His dander is pretty much all gone now. Plus, his hair seems shinier and silkier after being brushed and using the wipes. Not to mention, our baby boy looks just like the cat on the packaging. I will continue to buy these and use them once a week or twice every two weeks to keep up his beautiful orange coat. Thanks, Burt's Bees!" —Tom Cincotta
Get 50 wipes from Amazon for $7.40.
20. An SPF 30 scalp sunscreen mist for protecting your precious noggin without feeling greasy. It's water-resistant for 80 minutes, which is perfect if you're going to the beach or for a long run outside.
Promising review: "I have two girls, and we spend a lot of time outside in the summers. I work as a nurse and have seen scalp skin cancer, and I definitely wanted to protect myself and my girls. We usually use the regular spray, but it leaves the hair greasy or stiff. This has a great scent, and a little goes a long way! I was worried about the small size, but it lasted us all summer. Also leaves no residue." —Elizabeth Young
Get it from Amazon for $28.
21. A pack of hanging vacuum bags if you're already dreading having to store all your heavy winter coats. With these bags, you can vacuum all the air out so they take up a fraction of your closet space. And you can do this while they're on the hanger instead of trying to fold and smush them in a regular vacuum bag.
Promising review: "Bought these storage bags two weeks ago to pack my winter clothes for summer, and they did the job perfectly. They are large and sturdy. I like its five-hook design. I can store five women's jackets or four big men's jackets in ONE bag. The long bags also fit my dresses. The biggest reason I bought these bags is that I do not need to fold my seasonal clothes; just hang, zip, vacuum, done! Super convenient. Extremely happy with these space bags. I will definitely order more!" —Jia Yan
Get a set of four from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in five styles and in a three- or six-pack).
22. A stand-up weeder that'll spare you from the worst part of gardening: kneeling for hours plucking weeds. My back hurts just thinking about it! Thankfully, this tool has four steel claws that grip weeds and roots so you can pull them out while standing.
Pro tip: Use this after your yard has received some rain so the soil is soft and the claws can easily penetrate the ground without damaging the claws.
Promising review: "Bought this on a whim and I couldn’t be happier. It is so easy to use, does exactly what it is advertised to do, and really gets the entire root without destroying the lawn. Great product!" —Tony
Get it from Amazon for $48.48.
23. A pack of UV stickers so you know when it's time to slather on some more sunscreen. That's right — these color-changing stickers will alert you when your sunscreen has worn off. They're ultra thin and will survive sweat, water, dirt, and more.
Promising review: "I am in LOVE with the concept of these. I cannot tell you how many times I asked myself the question, 'Should I put on more sunscreen?' when it's too late and I'm as red as a lobster. Big fan of the packaging and portability. A really ingenious idea. Here is to a happier, healthier future ahead!" —CopperStad
Get 48 stickers from Amazon for $35.99.
24. A Clorox pool clarifier to get your backyard in tip-top shape before summer barbecue season. No one wants to cannonball into water so cloudy you can't see the bottom of the pool. 🤢
Promising review: "After one year of having an in-ground pool in Florida, the water was cloudy. I tried to get the water clean by running the filter 24/7 and brushing daily for a week to no avail. I used 1 1/2 ounces of this and the water was clear a day later. Cleaned out the pool filter a day after to clear it all out. Happy with the purchase and would recommend to others." —jvb
Get it from Amazon for $8.75.
25. And speaking of pools, a Scumbug because a layer of oils, sunscreen, and yuckies are chilling in your pool and hot tub. Just wring it out when it gets discolored, rinse it, 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.
26. A ceiling fan carbon filter for grabbing dust, pollen, smoke, dander, and other allergens as the fan spins. It sticks to the fan blade and is unnoticeable — but you may notice the difference in the air!
Promising review: "I wasn't sure what to expect when purchasing these, but now they are a staple in every room of our house. Within three days the air smelled more crisp and was easier to breathe in our home. So simple and effective!" —Haylee Marez
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $19.99.
27. A useful waterproof baby carrier if you'd appreciate having your hands free when you take your little one in the pool. It's made of a fast-drying neoprene material (think surf suits) and has soft, padded straps.
Promising review: "Absolutely love this product. I used it when my son was only about 6 to 9 months old, and I still use it now as he is 15 months old. I just love this product. It is so easy to use the babies. Love it as they get to be in the water as well; this product also dries very quickly. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to be in the water with their children. An added benefit is that you are hands-free!" —H&M Miller
Get it from Amazon for $89.99 (available in seven colors).
28. A shoe deodorizer spray that'll get rid of the funk from your new spring flats. It's made with essential oils and smells like lemon and eucalyptus, so you'll probably want to spray it around the rest of your house, too.
Promising review: "This product WORKS! You won’t be disappointed. I used to get embarrassed taking off my flats in my office because they smelled so bad, but not anymore! My work flats make my feet sweaty and this spray helps keep the awful odors away at least four to five days (probably longer but I was so excited I just sprayed my shoes again because I liked the smell haha!) The lemon is strong and the eucalyptus I love, so I would purchase again! Although it will likely last a while! I have a little boy who gets sweaty feet also so I’m sure I’ll soon be using this in his shoes also." —Traeannah Brown
Get it from Amazon for $13.95.
29. Or a pair of breathable Rothy's ballet flats you can toss right in the washing machine when they look dingy or smell.
30. A volcanic stone face roller to remove the shine oil and shine from your face. And unlike oil-blotting sheets, the ball can be popped out and washed so you can use this over and over and over again.
Promising review: "As I have oily skin that worsens in the warm weather, I usually buy blotting papers to remove excess oil in my T-zone. Those work fine, but THIS product is absolutely ingenious! Not only does it work beautifully without disturbing my makeup, but it’s reusable, easy to clean, and most importantly, it is so much more eco-friendly!! I highly recommend this to all my oily-skinned beauties out there!" —GodivaRn
Get it from Amazon for $9.98.
31. A cruelty-free lengthening mascara because you dream of fluttery lashes that actually hold a voluminous curl when it's hot and humid outside. It's lightweight, won't transfer, doesn't smudge, and lasts all day — what more could you ask for?
Promising review: "I have been a mascara snob my entire adult life and have been purchasing the same two brands for mascara. Then, I decided to get an inexpensive tube of mascara just to have in my emergency makeup back, and WOW, was I surprised! One coat of this stuff is better than four or five coats of my other stuff. It isn't waterproof, so it comes off with just a makeup-removing facial cleanser or micellar water with no problem. It separates and lengthens my lashes. I have people stop and ask me ALL THE TIME what I do to my eyelashes to make them 'look like that.' Like...literally stopped in the middle of a sidewalk in downtown Tampa to ask about my eyelashes. And it really does stay in place, even without a setting spray, when most of the other makeup I use melts off. Seriously, let me put this in perspective: I live in Florida, and I wore this mascara to work every single day for the last year in the heat/humidity (including all through the summer), and it stayed on my lashes better than any other brand of mascara I've used. This is now officially turned into my go-to mascara!" —Kate
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
BuzzFeed editor Kayla Boyd wrote an in-depth Essence Lash Princess mascara review — I highly recommend reading it!
32. A magnetic screen door for letting in the cool spring breeze (while keeping *out* the buggies) and preventing you from having to let your dog go out every 10 minutes. Why do dogs stand at the door and bark until you let them out only to bark at the door asking to come back in 30 seconds later???
Promising review: "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
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in four sizes).
33. Or an adjustable window screen if you'd be happy to save a little on your electricity bill by not having to run the AC while preventing bugs from flying in or pets from crawling out.
Promising review: "Adjustable, portable, and lightweight, this window screen is well made. You can paint the wood to match your window. Now I can have nice cool air circulating in the house during the fall and winter months in South Carolina." —Maria
Get it from Amazon for $12.27+ (available in 13 adjustable sizes).
34. A bug bite suction tool (from Shark Tank!) that'll make it a little less miserable should you become mosquito food. It's designed to actually suck out venom, saliva, and irritants on your skin that may be causing swelling and itching.
You can also use it to treat bites from bees, wasps, biting flies, no-see-ums, chiggers, and sea lice.
Promising review: "I ordered this in December after watching the Shark Tank episode. I live in the Northeastern US and have not had to use it until the spring weather arrived. No matter what I do, bugs find me, and to compound it, I usually have an allergic reaction. I have tried numerous anti-itch creams and natural remedies through the years, which treat symptoms but not the root cause. I ordered this with skepticism but am very pleasantly surprised. I had multiple bug bites that I tried this on, and the itching and swelling immediately dissipated! It works without chemicals. I highly recommend!" —HappyDaisy547
Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (available in three colors).
35. A set of DEET-free mosquito-repelling bracelets you'll wanna keep in stock for every outdoorsy adventure. No more slathering yourself with sticky, stinky bug sprays!
Check out a TikTok of the mosquito-repelling bracelets in action.
Promising review: "No complaints just satisfied. It worked. We were surprised that such a small bracelet could keep us bug free but it did." —M. A. Cooper
Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $9.99.
36. A moisturizing saline gel to come in handy if you're a drippy, sneezy mess thanks to allergies (me right now!) and are constantly blowing your nose, which has led to some not-infrequent nosebleeds (so fun!). Reviewers who use CPAP machines swear by this stuff, as do airplane travelers (dry airplane air!).
37. Some reusable Nippies nipple covers because you've got invites galore to weddings this spring and don't want your nipples to make a guest appearance in photos. Reviewers rave that these pasties stay put through sweat *and* you can get about 10 wears out of 'em.
BuzzFeed editor Natalie Brown says: "Thanks to a ~sample sale~, I got my hands on a gorgeous unlined silk dress last summer that I LOVED but absolutely could not wear with a bra, not even a strapless one. Queue an Amazon search for pasties because, quite frankly, I'm self-conscious about my nipples deciding to poke out while I'm wearing just a silk dress (and my boobs are the type that don't necessarily need support all of the time). There, I found something even better than I expected: these self-adhesive silicone pasties called Nippies that are 100% invisible under clothes, so comfortable I barely notice I'm wearing them, and, at least so far, pretty darn reusable.
I've worn them four or five times now, washing them with hand soap and water afterward every time as directed, and they're exactly what I needed! It's simple: you stick 'em onto clean, dry, lotion-free skin, and they stay put and comfy for hours, even through moderate sweat. They've performed perfectly every time I've worn them: for day-long shopping excursions, outdoor parties, and nights out dancing. They come in a small reusable storage box with two stiff plastic domes for them to sit on, so they'll stay perfectly intact and dust-free in your drawer and are easy to pack for travel. Oh, and over 14,000 reviewers — like, five times the number of people in my high school graduating class — have rated them 5 stars on Amazon, so I know I'm not alone in my success with them!"

Me thinking about all the people who are still bending down and pulling out weeds by hand:
