    26 Practical Products That — Bonus — Come In Pretty Spring Hues

    Spring has officially sprung so it's time to get products that match the excitement of the season.

    1. An electric mosquito repellent because bug bite szn seems to go from 0 to 100 REAL QUICK every year. This handy gadget creates a 15-foot zone of mosquito protection, so get ahead of the curve this year and let those little bloodsuckers know they are NOT welcome to your outdoor hangs.

    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 $12.42+ (available in 10 colors and packs of 2).

    2. fabric defuzzer you'll just glide over an area of clothing/furniture that's covered in unwanted fuzzies.

    Just a heads up, the battery-operated version of this product doesn't come with any but requires two AA batteries if you want to grab some here

    Promising review: "TikTok made me get it. I have a few favorite sweaters and was super upset when these little lint balls started popping up. I was looking for ways to remove them and stumbled upon this fabric shaver and my life has been changed! I absolutely LOVE it. 100/10." —Ruth

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in six colors and two styles).

    3. A pair of rain boots because there's no better way to prep for April showers than with a stylish pair of shoes that'll have you happily splashing your way through alllll the puddles.

    Promising review: "I absolutely love these rain boots! As a teacher, I needed something I could wear out on duty that would be effective and comfortable.

Such a variety of happy colors that can make even the dreariest of rainy days a little bit brighter." —Annie

    4. A stainless-steel water bottle you can bet will put any other water bottle on the market to shame. You may be asking why and the first reason is because it comes with a double-spout built-in straw (a smaller opening for sipping and a large one for swigging). Unlike other popular bottles, this one allows you to cover the straw when you're not drinking from it thanks to the leak-proof push button opening! Did I mention it'll keep your drinks cold for 24 hours and features a carry loop for easy transport?

    Promising review: "I have had so many water bottles, but I love this water bottle most out of all of them, from the GORGEOUS colors to the long-lasting cold water.

If you're looking for a new water bottle, I would get this one." —Amazon Customer

    Promising review: "I have to admit that I was skeptical...but this is worth EVERY PENNY and more! Our great dane's paws would track in huge amounts of dirt/mud, and wiping them down with a towel was never good enough. This is definitely big enough for his huge feet, and he doesn't even fight it. I wonder if it feels good on his paws? The fact that the rubber 'bristles' are removable for cleaning out afterwards is an awesome bonus, too. You can actually see all the dirt it's cleaning off. My husband loves it, too. I'm sure it will also come in handy when we take our dogs RV-ing!! Thanks for a great product!!!!" —Bitsy C :-)

    Promising review: "I saw someone on TikTok with this and gasped! Ordered it right away. I had no idea these things existed. Super easy and convenient, and the hard-boiled eggs came out perfectly.

    Promising review: "I bought this folder to keep our family documents organized and in one place. There are just the right amount of tabs for our birth certificates, passports, social security cards, car titles, wills, etc. This folder is small enough that you can lock it in a home safe or safety deposit box. I let a couple family members know where I keep this so that they can access it in case of an emergency. It is such a relief knowing that all these things are together and organized. I’m glad I bought this." —Katie

    Promising review: "We love this product! This was our second time purchasing because we lost the first one and couldn't go without it. It makes it easy for my 6-year-old to unbuckle herself in the school drop-off line and when we get to any other destination. She loves the independence it gives her. It's well made and worth the price!" —Racheal Henry

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in seven colors).

    Promising review: "These are by far the best pots and pans I have ever owned. I was skeptical about buying pans like this because I have in the past, and things stuck to them constantly. These don't have an issue with sticking at all! You need to be sure to hand-wash them and DO NOT use any type of metal on them, or they will start to stick and wear out faster. As long as you take care of them and do those couple of things, these will last you a long time. I love the mint blue as well! Such a pretty color." —Kimberly Melton

    Get a 16-piece set from Amazon for $99.99 (available in 13 colors and 5 set sizes).

    Promising review: "This ice tray set is a GAME CHANGER. Worth every penny. I hit a wall with my ice trays always breaking, being hard to get ice out of, and emptying too quick. I splurged on this set and am really impressed. I already have a bin (which it comes with) full of ice and two backups freezing. And the little scoop is fun as heck. Highly recommend if you don't have an ice maker!" —Kascidy Badon

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in four colors and in sets of two).

    Promising review: "I saw this little thing all over TikTok, and everyone swore by it. To be honest, they’re right, and I swear by it. It’s perfectly soft and sturdy to massage the scalp. Works shampoo into roots, helps with dry skin and such. I absolutely love it, and I use it every time I wash my hair. I most definitely would recommend it to anyone. Don’t hesitate." —Z

    Get it from Amazon for $5.93+ (available in three colors).

    Promising review: "I, a 16-year-old girl, got a medium to have an oversized fit. For the people who came here from TikTok: IT'S AWESOME. The material is so soft, and it’s a great price to put together that mini pleated skirt and collar outfit. I ordered the navy blue to see how it would fit first, and I’ll 100% be ordering other colors." —abby

    Get it from Amazon for $10.68+ (available in men's sizes S–5XL and 28 colors). 

    17. KitchenAid stand mixer that'll fuel your baking endeavors. Whipping up your ingredients is about to become faster and easier, not to mention this thing is WORTH the investment because it will last you for many years.

    The 10-speed mixer has a flat beater, a coated dough hook, a six-wire whip, a bowl and bowl lid, and a pouring shield.

That stunning floral mixing bowl doesn't come with the standard mixer, but you can buy it here!

    Promising review: "I have owned a KitchenAid mixer for well over 20 years and just upgraded to this one. We redid the kitchen, and my accent color is aqua, so this looks spectacular sitting on my counter. I wanted a little more power, and this is perfect for me. I do a lot of baking, so I couldn't live without a KitchenAid mixer. I also have the spiralizer and pasta-making attachments. This is a workhorse! I will never use anything but a KitchenAid." —T Jaye Brand

    Get it from Amazon for $449.95+ (available in 23 colors).

    iJoy is a small biz that sells a variety of tech accessories, speakers, and headphones.

    This little power strip is awesome. For starters, you can choose to get it in a trendy color or just stick with black or white. I got the mint green color and it's SO pretty. I keep several devices in my bedroom charged/powered with this strip like my air purifier, laptop/phone charger, and the USB ports are great for allowing me to charge my Kindle and my white noise machine. Plus, the fact that it's flexible makes it easy to adjust to your own personal charging needs. 

    Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in four colors). 

    19. A colorful keyboard and mouse set because many of us have been doing this whole "WFH" thing for years now, and it's time to give our office setups the shake-up they've been craving.

    Psst — this takes AA batteries for the mouse and keyboard. 

    Promising review: "Absolutely amazing keyboard. Colors are eye-catching and make a drab office pop with color! I am currently the envy of the office. Ladies in the other departments are waiting on their own to come in now after seeing mine. Easy plug/play. It travels between home and office with me. Love the keys on this as well. Sleep mode seems to pop on kinda quickly, but it's nothing bad. Just push a button or click the mouse, and it's on again. I have had mine for about a month now and will not be going back to any other style!" —Nikki Bell

    Get it from Amazon for $40.99 (available in 11 styles).

I used it for 12 hours at Disneyland and still have plenty left in the tank to use two other times. 10/10 recommend." —Breanna 

    Get it from Amazon for $17.94+ (available in seven colors).

    21. A travel belt to help free up a hand or some weight on your shoulder by allowing you to clip your personal bag to your suitcase and/or carry-on. Where has this been all my travel life?!

This literally helps relieve my pain while I’m working standing on my feet. They are super cute. I get tons of compliments on them, and they are breathable, lightweight, and easy to keep clean. Perfect for Hawaii weather! 💁🏽‍♀️ There are other brands that look like this but don’t be fooled — THIS is the brand that is the most comfortable.

    Promising review: "I've ordered five different kinds of convertible dresses, and this is by FAR the best! The fabric is thicker than others I've tried, and the construction is impressive, especially for the cost! I love that front ties overlap, which makes it much more modest than many of the others! I'm 5'4" and the length of the small was absolutely perfect!" —Enewbie

    Promising review: "Really cute set and the quality is good, too. It's a win-win for me! It is dishwasher safe. I tried one of the pieces washed in the dishwasher and it came out just fine. For longevity, I plan to just hand-wash because I love pink things! They're heat resistant. I used the spatula to cook bacon and pressed it on the pan, and nothing bad happened to it. I've had this set for a month now and have been using it every day; it still looks as good as new. No burns/melted marks; no discoloration. I have washed it in the dishwasher multiple times, and it comes out fine. Easy to clean." —Pookie Bear
