1. An SPF 30 scalp sunscreen mist because you probably forget that the top of your head needs sun protection, too. Formulated with plant-based antioxidants, this spray will also help nourish your hair and prevent UV-related hair color fading.
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 $23.80.
2. A ceiling fan carbon air filter to catch dust, pollen, pet dander, and smoke. These self-adhesive filters are made from coconut shells whose lightweight structure traps particles and contaminants. Turn your ceiling fan into an air purifier!

3. A Shark Tank-famous bug bite suction tool for mosquito bite relief because you're excited about tank tops and short shorts but not the fact that you'll be exposed to some nasty bloodsuckers. It pretty much sucks the irritant out from under your skin so you can live an itch-free life.
Promising review: "I am a magnet for bites of all kinds and carry topical and medicines with me at all times, so I figured this would be a good product to see if it really works. It arrived Monday and Tuesday morning. I woke up with a bug bite on my arm, so I used this little tool (three times per the instructions), and immediately after use, it stopped itching! Less than 24 hours later, the bite was gone! There is a very faint red mark from using the thing, but a small price to pay IMO. Bottom line: It's awesome. I'm carrying it with me everywhere!" —Rebecca

4. Miracle-Gro indoor plant food spikes if your plants aren't growing as fast as they should. Just stick one of these in your planters, and your leafy babes will be continuously fed for up to two months!
Promising review: "I didn't think I'd write a review about plant food, but these are amazing! I used to just look at plants, and they would shrivel and die, but these have made every single one of my plants flourish beautifully! Even succulents in our temperamental Washington weather are thriving. We have them in both our indoor plants as well as our veggies outside." —H Husom

5. A set of heel caps because it's stiletto weather but you shouldn't have to risk sinking into dirt, gravel, and grass just to look sharp.
Promising review: "I just tried these last weekend at an outdoor wedding with an indoor reception. They were amazing! I kept them on all night. First, I walked outside in thick grass, and the wedding photos were taken in a mushy grassy area. I didn't sink even a little bit. It was fantastic. My heels were fabulous. I then decided to leave them on for the rest of the night since they made my heels more stable and comfortable. So glad I tried them. I was showing them off to the other ladies, and everyone loved the look of them." —J L D

Read more about acupressure and nausea at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
Promising review: "I bought these for my very first cruise. It was a 5-day cruise that had a bit of rough waters the first two days out to sea. I was a little bit leery as to whether these would keep the nausea away, as I am very prone to motion sickness (car rides in the mountains, carnival rides, etc). I put these on just before boarding the ship and didn't take them off until the fourth day. By then, I figured my 'sea legs' would have kicked in. I didn't have any issues at all, unlike many of my fellow cruisers. I'm bringing these with me on my next cruise!!" —EA99

Promising review: "These rubber wheels are fire! Definitely provides little grip, moves quietly, doesn't mess with the luggage wheel rotation, and little less vibration. Love the bright red color goes well with my carbon fiber luggage. Easy to install, and it's funny they have directional line/arrow like car tires — details count for me." —Tieng Nguyen

Promising review: "Love this new wagon!! Our 5-year-old and 3-year-old got too big for our stroller, but we go for long walks, and they can't walk the whole time. This wagon is the best!! Room to sit, and the drop-down leg area is perfect! It pushes like a dream and steers super easy. The fact that you can turn it into a pull wagon at the push of a button is even better. We also love the snack tray that sits in the middle, so it helps divide them up a bit." —Jboy
Get it from Amazon for $319.99+ (available in three colors).
10. An aluminum-free all-over deodorant because it's also pH-balanced, cruelty-free, and eco-friendly. Use this anywhere on your body to feel and smell fresh. Actually, you'll smell like a tropical blend of coconut and vanilla!

Promising review: "Great detangler for fine hair. I have (a lot of) fine hair that is prone to tangling. I use this product after the shower and before brushing my hair. Not only does it do an awesome job at detangling without having to spray a ton, but it doesn't weigh my hair down when it's dry. It also keeps my hair soft, hydrated, and protected in the Arizona summer. To date, this is my favorite detangler/protectant spray." —Morgan

Promising review: "I'm multiracial with tan skin. I burn when [the sun is] intense, but I get a great tan otherwise. My 9-month-old is fair, fair, fair. Blue eyes and porcelain skin fair. I reapply my own SPF 50 after a few hours, but I'm not consistent. I've never been great about sunscreen, but I was not going to let my daughter get burned. We live in South Florida, and just walking or park time is a potential burning hazard. This is a great visual for me to reapply her sunscreen or make sure she gets in the shade. They're an absolute essential for parents, especially the 'sun goddess' type." —FlightLife

It is so easy to use with the babies. Love it as they get to be in the water as well. This product also dries very quickly.

Promising review: "Awesome hat. A must-have for hairdos. I get my hair done often and don't want to destroy a great hairdo. I have been out in a rainstorm and taken it on the log ride into the splashdown; my hair stayed nice and dry. Love it so much that I fold it up and keep it in my purse! It even has a ponytail pouch hidden in it." —applekoolaid
Get it from Hairbrella on Amazon for $44 (available in seven colors).

Promising review: "I work for the railroad, and I am always getting my hands dirty! I could never seem to find anything that worked. Also, I live in Utah, so when it starts getting cold, my hands dry out. Well, with Grip Clean, that doesn't happen! I have my coworkers coming to my locker asking to get some soap since the soap we have doesn't work as well as Grip Clean!" —Nick
Get it from Amazon for $11.50 (available in two sizes).

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.
20. A cup removal and replacement tool because if your sports bra can't commit to having its cups sewed in, you should be able to take them out and put them back in with ease. Laundry day just got a little less annoying.
It's made by a family-owned small business!
Promising review: "After so many lost bra pads, this has been a lifesaver. Instead of feeling immense amounts of frustration trying to get the pads back into place, this works like a breeze. It is simple to use and effective, and it takes a lot of stress out of life. If you are tired of fighting with pads to get them smoothed out and back into place, I highly recommend this." —Wesley I.

Promising review: "I absolutely love this sunscreen. I'm always wary of 'for everyone' tinted products because they aren't usually made with us in mind. But this one hits the mark. It looks amazing on my brown skin. Non-streaky, no white cast. It gives my skin a subtle shimmer. The video and pictures are in direct sunlight, so you can see [the product] in full effect. For reference, I have combination, thirtysomething-year-old skin. Glowscreen is officially in my skincare rotation." —Lovely91
Get it from Amazon for $38.
22. Or an SPF 30 sunscreen setting spray since it'll keep you protected from the sun and lookin' fly for up to 16 hours. This lightweight 2-in-1 is also cruelty-free!
Promising review: "I honest to God thought setting sprays were a money trap hoax until I bought this. I had used a few random setting sprays in the past, and they never did ANYTHING; my makeup would run down my face as soon as I got in the sun. I bought this before a trip to the beach because I wanted something with SPF I could spray on my pale, sensitive face (and if it happened to also help my makeup stay, even better!). I was BEYOND impressed with how well this setting spray works; my makeup still looked great even after hours of walking around the beach underneath the California sun. It felt very light on my face and dried quickly; it definitely has a strong sunscreen smell, but whatevs, it does the job!! Will be buying this brand again when the bottle runs out, for sure." —Hannah Coyne
Get it from Amazon for $13.97.
23. An easy-to-install fence bubble so your sweet pup can see what lies beyond your view-obstructing fence.
Promising review: "My dogs love their window! They are 20+ lbs. each and can both get their heads into the window to see what is going on in the front yard. It only took my husband and me a few minutes to install. The acrylic dome is thick and is easy to wipe clean. It's also made in the USA!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $22.55.

Made of natural peppermint oil, castor oil, olive oil, sesame oil, and wheat germ oil, these wipes offer long-lasting repellency.
Promising review: "These wipes worked to keep bugs from biting! I love to hike, and any time I'm outside bugs attack! They are oily, but they do work! I recommend and will buy again." —Lela A. Boggess
Get it from Amazon for $34.59.

Promising review: "I'm so happy I got this meter. It works great and is easy to use. I wish I had bought this a long time ago. Living in the Arizona desert, I tend to overwater some of my pots in the summer, eventually killing some plants. With this meter, I can check all my potted plants and get an accurate reading of moisture and the nutrients that are needed. I love it!!" —Grandma Susi
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
29. A cooler light so you don't have to blindly feel through ice for the White Claw you want when your day picnic turns into a night picnic.
One charge is good for 60 hours of white light and up to 31 hours of red light.
Promising review: "This little cooler light is awesome! Gone are the days of 'Honey, will you come hold the flashlight while I dig in the cooler?' It is attached very easily; just peel and stick while making sure to keep the lens pointed down toward the contents of the cooler. The adhesive seems to be very strong and should stick for good! The light is motion activated and only turns on when you open the cooler, and shuts off automatically when you close the lid or after about 20 seconds of the lid being open. The light is super bright! It clearly lights the entire contents of the cooler! This was a great purchase, and I have recommended this to my friends." —Jo
Get it from Amazon for $13.40.
30. A pair of magnetic barbecue lights — keep the kabob party going all night long!
Promising review: "These grill lights are exactly what I needed! They light up the area so well. The magnets are strong, and the ability to direct the light where needed is great. The package they came in is perfect to store them in when not in use! I have recommended these to several people who also think they are great. I was worried they would be cheap and maybe not have a lot of magnetic hold to them, but they do!!" —LC
Get it from Amazon for $27.99.
31. A smart hydration reminder you can easily attach to your cup or water bottle. Its sensor will remind you to drink once an hour. And if it's been 30–40 minutes since your last sip, it will start blinking for up to one minute.

Check it out on TikTok.
Promising review: "I purchased the Ulla because, for some reason, I cannot remember to drink enough water. I have had this for one week, and it absolutely helps! Even though it's tiny, the light will grab your attention in an instant. My water intake has tripled, my skin is improving, and I feel better than normal. Definitely worth trying!" —Hope S.
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in seven designs).

Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (also available in a pack of six).
33. A UV light trap sure to attract all kinds of flying insects so they're not buzzing around you and your home. Even better? It doesn't ZAP! Mosquitoes, gnats, and fruit flies are sucked into the device where a sticky trap awaits them at the bottom.
Just so you're aware, this doesn't kill bugs — it just traps them! Place it near a garbage bin, plants, or fruit for best results.
Promising review: "This thing works. I have the unfortunate problem of living in an area where there are a lot of mosquitoes. I bought this because there is a cloud of mosquitoes outside my door every morning, and some of them seem to make their way inside my apartment whenever I open the door. So, I really bought this trap out of desperation. I had tried pretty much every (unsuccessful) way to get rid of mosquitoes that I could find online, but I eventually decided to try this trap. The mosquitoes fly toward the UV light and get sucked into the trap from the fan. Once they're in, they get stuck on the sticky trap part. I love it and am so glad I bought this!" —Snow
Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in two styles and two colors).
34. A portable electric mosquito repellent — this DEET-free and scent-free shield works to keep mosquitoes up to 15 feet away. Each repellant mat lasts up to four hours, and they change color to let you know it's time to replace them. So bring this out to your backyard and have some worry-free fun!
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 two).
35. A water-resistant sand-sifting mat whose high-density weave allows sand, dirt, and dust to fall through the fabric without coming back up so you can enjoy your time at the beach without getting sand in every single one of your crevices.
Promising review: "I used this as a 'veranda' in front of my tent in a sandy rock outcropping in heavy Wyoming wind. When sand was tracked onto the blanket, all I had to do was wave my hand or foot over the sand pile, and it fell right through the weaves of fabric, not to come back up. The benefits included not tracking sand into my tent, having a clean space to roll up my sleeping bag (without sand all over it), a sandless spot to lay our gear and organize, and a perfect un-sandy area to sit and chat with friends. I loved it. We camped on the sand in 40-mph swirling gusts of a stormy weekend. On my first campout in this location (without this blanket), a lot of sand covered my gear inside the tent. But with the camping mat, what an improvement!" —Alexandra B.
