Buzz Feed

1. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel so you can get your feet sandal season ready by quickly removing years' (I repeat, YEARS') worth of hard calluses without endless scraping and scrubbing. Loads of reviewers say results are even better than a salon pedi!
Just presoak your feet, apply the gel, let sit for 5–10 minutes, and rinse! It's recommended you go back in afterward with a foot file just to make sure no residue or dead skin is left behind.
Promising review:"I have the driest heels, and this is the ONLY product that has ever worked. Before I used this, my heels had some pretty deep cracks, and now they're almost baby-soft again. BUT please follow the directions. I left it on my super-dry, thick-callused heels for only three minutes, and the calluses were literally melting off! Wonderful product! So glad I don't have to go soak my feet in those tubs at the nail salon anymore." — Kiki
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three scents).
2. An easy-to-use nasal spray for quick relief from seasonal allergies. This saline rinse washes away irritants and helps to reduce tissue swelling so you can stop mouth breathing and rubbing your nose raw with tissues.

Promising review:" I cannot live without this spray! I have had bad sinuses since I was a kid. My boss recommended Xlear to me, and I have been a believer ever since. It actually burns sometimes when you spray it in your nostrils, but that is due to the Xylitol. After a few minutes, your nose starts to run, and then the nasal passages are clear. Don't just try it once and say it doesn't work...use it as directed...it DOES work. At 53 years old with sinus challenges all my life, I am living proof! I use it all through allergy season...safe, effective, and NATURAL!!!" — KayKay67
Get it from Amazon for $11.29+ (available in two styles).
3. An adorable hybrid berry basket to strain and store produce in one convenient container that'll keep fruits and veggies fresher (yes, even the finally-in-season strawberries you blew half your grocery budget on) for a heck of a lot longer than that flimsy plastic clamshell.
Promising review: "My blueberries stay fresh and crisp in this container, rather than the familiar fate of becoming soggy and moldy! I love how I can wash the berries in the strainer, pop them into the basket, and then look forward to the BEST blueberries EVER!!!!!" — Anonymous
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
4. A set of DEET-free mosquito-repelling bracelets if you want to free yourself from the fog of stinky sprays and the itchy torture of blood-sucker bites with the power of essential oils like citronella.
Check out a very enthusiastic review on TikTok.
Promising review:"I moved last year from Southern California to North Carolina. Bugs of all types have always been attracted to me, but the amount of bites I got last summer was WILD. Someone gave me one of these types of bracelets to use one day, and it seemed to work, SOOOOOO I decided to buy myself an arsenal to prepare for this summer. I read the reviews, and about 99% of them had great results. I've only used this bracelet twice, but both times I was outside and untouched. I'm not fond of the smell, I'm hypersensitive to smells, but I'd rather have the odor than being chewed alive." — Tracey Agopian

5. A heavy-duty mason jar cold brew maker because the morning patio time you've waited all winter for sounds way more appealing with a ready-made supply of weather-appropriate go-juice. Oh, you're more of an iced tea fan? Reviewers have used it for delicious brews with great success.
www.amazon.com
County Line Kitchen is a small business specializing in mason jar-style cold brew makers, pitchers, and accessories.
Promising review: "This has been a hit in my house. Makes the most delicious cold brew and is of great quality. Has saved a ton of money on going out and on pods I used to buy. I try to let it sit for 48 hours so I can dilute it with a little water to get it to last longer, and throw it in my dishwasher in between uses. Perfect!" — Jo
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors).
6. A Laneige Neo Blurring Powder compact that pulls off the impossible — eliminating oily shine without sacrificing the lit-from-within glow you and your skincare routine have fought so hard for.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I loved this setting powder. It blurred my pores and blended my makeup so well that even my husband noticed. Wow! I will be buying more before people find it and sell it all out, hehehe." — Charlotte Laim
Get it from Amazon for $25.
7. A Yonanas fruit soft-serve maker so you can start working with your sweet tooth instead of against it. This turns any frozen fruit into a creamy, sorbet-like treat in minutes and is particularly helpful for vegans or anyone else with a dietary restriction keeping them from satisfying their ice cream craving.
See it in action on TikTok.
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 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
Get it from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in four colors).
8. A long-handled standing weeder to make clearing away those rogue dandelions easier than ever — you don't even need to bend over!
Amazon
Grampa's Weeder is a family-owned small business that's home to a standing weeder design that's been around since 1913.
Made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel, it uses a simple lever system to make weeding easy.
Promising review:"Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim, given that 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 weeds 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 from Amazon for $44.99.
9. Plus, a crack weeder tool for when you're simply unable to ignore all those leafy weeds that manage to slip in through cracks in the concrete against all odds.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: " I am just beginning to work in my yard and am pleasantly surprised by the effectiveness of this simple, inexpensive little tool." — Mardee
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in three sizes).
10. A roll-on blister-preventing balm if your jam-packed spring plans include a lot of walking with zero time allotted for limping around because of painful blisters.
Amazon
Promising review:"My family goes to Disney World every year, and even with rotating shoes every other day, we still get blisters. I bought this before our trip two months ago, and it was worth every penny. We rubbed it all over the top, bottom, and sides of our feet and toes each morning, and our feet did not blister! I highly recommend this product for long Disney days or any time you will be on your feet for a long period of time." — Cari Sanders
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
11. Plus, a pair of sockless shoe liners because you want that no-show look but don't want your stinky, sweaty feet slip-slidin' around, either. That's where these cut-to-size liners come in, which grip the bottom of your shoe, absorb sweat, and are washable!
www.amazon.com
The liners come with trimming guidelines so that you can cut the insert to your desired size.
Promising review: "I can't recommend these inserts enough! After a week of heavy use, they hardly smell. Pop them in the wash, and they are ready to go again! Super comfy and doesn't move around. So nice to have in shoes you don't feel like wearing socks with! Plus, so many fun patterns!" — Vicky L. Parr
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes [fits women's sizes 6–13] and four colors).
12. A bottle of Super Serum body wash that's what happens when Olay goes and turns one of their beloved face serums into a hydrating body wash packed with niacinamide, shea butter, and collagen peptides that your dry, post-winter skin will drink right up.
www.instagram.com, Amazon
Promising review:"I recently tried this, and I am absolutely in love with it! The formula is incredibly hydrating, leaving my skin feeling soft and smooth after every use. It lathers beautifully and has a lovely, light fragrance that isn't overpowering. After just a few uses, I noticed my skin looked more radiant and felt deeply moisturized. The addition of serums in the body wash is a game changer. My skin feels nourished, and I no longer need to apply lotion right after showering. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a luxurious, skin-loving body wash!" — Darina
Get it from Amazon for $12.97 (also available in two other styles).
13. A set of adjustable clip holders for instantly turning any regular bra into one you can discreetly wear with racerback tops. Now, you don't have to choose between no bra and zero support or fussing with exposed straps all day.
Amazon
Promising review:"Genius!! Why did it take me so long to find these? I was looking for a solution to hide straps in a racerback tank, but these straps do so much more than just that. Unlike the round clips that pull straps tightly to the center of your back, these straps lie flat, and they have just enough give to allow the bra to still fit right and feel comfortable. Moreover, they can be used to keep bra straps from falling down all day!!! Such a great product." — MsChris
Get a set of three from Amazon for $5.49+ (available in eight color combos).
14. Plus, some seamless bra liners made from an ultra-soft blend of cotton and bamboo to prevent under-boob sweat stains and all the chafing and discomfort that comes with it.
Promising review:"When we are introduced to bras, we should be told about these as well. They completely soften the bra line, and even on the hottest days, they protect from boob sweat. My only regret is I didn't know about these years ago." — OtterMom
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in women's sizes M–XXL and seven color combinations).
15. Or a pair of reusable silicone nipple covers so you can skip the bra altogether without fear of a nip slip, even if you're on the dance floor busting moves and sweating up a storm. These covers are ultra discreet and totally waterproof!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
BuzzFeed editor Natalie Brown swears by these pasties! Check out her Nippies review to learn more.
Promising review:"These covers are AMAZING! I used them for the first time this weekend during my bachelorette because of how much white I would be wearing, and they were perfect. I usually use petals, but sometimes you can see the shape of the petal, and my nipple still shows, but these covered my boobs perfectly, and you couldn't see them through a see-through white body suit. They lasted through the night when I forgot to take them off before bed and also lasted through tonsssss of sweaty dancing. I never leave reviews, but I had to spend the word. All my girls on the trip were amazed by them and are all ordering now." — Amazon Customer
Get a pair from Amazon for $26.50+ (available in two sizes, with or without a lift, and five shades).
16. An immunity-boosting allergy supplement if your dog's endless scratching is possibly the result of seasonal allergies. Fortunately, these soft chews not only help with itchy allergic reactions and skin sensitivity but also deliver a dose of probiotics and other nutrients to help support immune function and digestion and promote healthy skin.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"What a great product! I have a small pooch, and he's been scratching himself around the nose and neck, it seems, due to allergies, leaving red, bloody marks 😞. I bought this product, and BAM, within two days, he stopped scratching, and his marks are healing. And he really likes the taste. Thanks!" — Harold Koslowski
Get 50 chews from Amazon for $24.97+ (available in three sizes and five flavors).
17. An anti-bacterial butt acne-clearing lotion made with tea tree oil because booty shorts and swimsuit season is fast approaching, and your booty deserves the same blemish-busting TLC as your face. Sun's out, bum's out, amirite?
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Read more about tea tree oil and acne at Mayo Clinic. Apply this gentle treatment 3–4 times a day or 4–6 times if the situation is more serious.
Promising review:"I've used this product for about two months now. I try to remember to apply at least twice a day. Not only is the skin clearer, but the overall texture is much smoother and softer. I highly recommend giving this lotion a try." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
18. A slim cleaning brush that'll go where no sponge or rag has gone before. Its ultra-thin design can fit into hard-to-reach window and door tracks, and the handle doubles as a scraper for stuck-on debris. Wow — opening windows without gagging first. What a concept!
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "This is an amazing set of brushes. Don't be fooled by the low cost. The brushes are soft and long enough to get into tight spots, but firm enough to hold up. They work amazingly in those hard-to-clean aluminum window runners and sliding doors. I've used them to clean enclosed fan blades, refrigerator vents, etc. They wash easily, and with a bit of TLC, they hold their shape. Always nice to find something so simple and inexpensive that works so well." — CNJ
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $5.48.
19. And a mesh screen-cleaning brush so you can actually enjoy springtime views through your window instead of staring into an abyss of years-old slime and dead bug carcasses.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Our screens are on a second-floor balcony. There really isn't any good way to clean the outside of the screens. Luckily, the fibers on this screen cleaner are small enough that they seem to fit through the screen and clean both sides. I'm sure it doesn't clean the outside as well as it does the inside, but any help is always appreciated. I was actually shocked at how much dirt came off the screens with this very simple tool. I used it wet with a small amount of dish soap, and it worked really well. I also appreciated that after I was finished, I was just easily able to rinse and dry the screen cleaner for future use. A simple tool at an excellent price." — BonjourBeautyByAmy
Get it from Amazon for $20.99.
20. A fragrance-free Neutrogena SPF 60 face serum for a healthy dose of hydration that doubles as daily sun protection without the undesirable white-cast and greasy finish.
Check out a TikTok of the serum in action.
Promising review:"I have been searching for a sunscreen like this for a long time. I really dislike putting anything heavy on my face and prefer a gel-like consistency. I am a big fan of the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid serum and the texture of this sunscreen feels pretty close to that. I have tried much more expensive 'serum' sunscreens and find this one my favorite and for a much better price point." — JHoch
Get it from Amazon for $14.88.
21. A bag of Liquid I.V. hydration packets loaded with 3x the electrolytes of a regular sports drink to maximize the power of every glass when you drop the ball on that whole drinking water thing. This helps to aid a speedy recovery after a hard workout or killer hangover, AND it comes in a bunch of tasty flavors — including nostalgic Popsicle Firecracker!!!
www.amazon.com
FYI, depending on your situation, water may be enough to rehydrate you! Read more about electrolyte-enhanced drinks and hydration at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "LOVE!!! Full-time mom who does not have the best water intake. So easy and flavorful, feels like a treat while hydrating and getting the electrolytes I need!" — Alisha Theriault
Get a 16-pack from Amazon for $23.46+ (available in 14 flavors).
22. A roll-up straw sun visor if sunny days call for chic sun protection that can fold down small enough to toss in a tote without fear of it bending out of shape.
Promising review:" I get a lot of compliments when I wear this hat. I actually saw it on a friend, and it looked amazing, so I had to go and buy it. I also love how easily it rolls up for travel. In the past, I've had hats that were much more delicate. This hat seems to be resistant to bending out of shape, which is exactly what I needed." — Schiccatano
Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in 13 colors).
23. A swivel bin pooper scooper and rake because this long-handled bin makes it easier (and less gross) than ever to clear your yard of doggy doo-doo, so you can frolic about without fear of stepping in something nasty.
Promising review:"I have three dogs: a small, a large, and a giant breed. With work, I only get around to scooping the yard once a week. I previously had a claw grabber–style scoop. When it broke, I got this one. I just used it for the first time and picked up a week's worth of poop from three dogs in about one-quarter of the time it took me to do the yard with the claw-style scoop. The bin is big enough to hold a LOT of poop, so I make way fewer trips across the yard to empty it out. The absolute only downside is that the handle unscrews easily. I'm just going to put some glue in the joints and screw it into place, and that problem will be solved. I never thought I'd be so stoked about a pooper scooper, but here I am." — Amy B.
Get it from Amazon for $21.99.
24. An easy-to-use collagen-coating hair mask so you can revive your hair after a long, dry winter with an at-home treatment that'll make it look like your locks haven't undergone years of abuse at the hands of bleach and blow-dryers.
Bek O'Connell / BuzzFeed
Read our Elizavecca CER-100 Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment review to learn more about why my colleague calls it "the miracle product I've been searching for."
Promising review:"I have 4c hair and was looking for a protein treatment for my thin and fragile hair. I had recently used a product in my hair that had so much alcohol in it that it wreaked havoc on my hair, leaving it pretty damaged. I was skeptical about this product because I had never seen anyone with my hair type use it. Boy, was I wrong to doubt this product; it left my hair looking and feeling beautiful. I highly recommend it to anyone natural or with curly hair." — Therese-Claire
Get it from Amazon for $7.60.
25. A grill scrubbin' stone that'll majorly help you get the grill in fighting shape for backyard barbecue season. Think of this like a Magic Eraser specifically designed for grill racks, pans, and utensils.
Promising review:" Completely restored my 3-year-old grill grates. Used to clean them with a box of Brillo pads and a headache, but this product did the job so efficiently. Will definitely be keeping on hand for as-needed cleaning. Would recommend cleaning in a deep sink so you can rinse stone residue off as you go. Cannot use this at the grill without rinsing, as the stone gets smaller as you go. Worth the price!" — hbinoc
Get it from Amazon for $5.99 (available in larger multipacks).
26. A pack of ceiling fan carbon filters for trapping dust, pollen, dander, and other allergens with adhesive pads that stick right to the top of each fan blade. Now, you can breathe easy knowing there's an in-home filtration system working silently behind the scenes for you.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
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 $21.99.
27. A lightweight, kink-free garden hose to make spring chores like lawn watering and dog washing feel a lot less daunting since you won't have to full-on wrestle your hose just to get it in working order.
Promising review: "I have three [50-foot hoses] coupled with three 25-foot versions. This gives us maximum flexibility and reliability. I got very tired of spending money on the flexible hoses only to have them fail within a year. These hoses keep on doing their job. Very good buy." — Duffy
Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in eight lengths).
28. A suede and nubuck cleaning brush if that rainy run-in with your suede shoes has left them looking more stained than stylish. This brush will diminish the look of water stains with no additional cleaners required, so you and your favorite shoes can enjoy another (hopefully drier) outing together!
Shacke is a small manufacturer based in Baldwin Park, California, creating useful travel products like packing cubes and luggage tags.
You can totally use it with another cleaner or spray if you want, but it seems like reviewers have success without it! It just takes some elbow grease.
Promising review:"I am very impressed with this product. I was new to suede shoes and instantly regretted buying gray-colored shoes once I got them dirty. Luckily, I found this lovely thing. Very easy to use, straightforward packet comes with it that tells you which sides to use and when. I would definitely recommend this since you invest so much in those shoes, you might as well keep them nice and clean!" — Celeste
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in four styles).
29. A bottle of Urban Decay All Nighter setting spray because no one wants to labor over a full face of makeup only to sweat it off three seconds later. Lock it in with this spray and save yourself the heartache.
Jenae Sitzes / BuzzFeed
Promising review:"I have been using this product for the past two years and have been through two of the mini setting sprays (I don't wear makeup a whole bunch to convince myself I need the huge one), and I just bought my latest one. I've just realized that I had never left a review, even though this has gotten me through thick and thin. I bought it on a whim one day after seeing it on a TikTok video for my first military ball, and since then, it's gotten me through two hocos, two family reunions, vacations, concerts, and mosh pits. It had even kept my three-dollar blush and tinted cream to stay on for SEVEN HOURS in the Las Vegas heat, walking outside on the strip, and I am a VERY sweaty individual. Granted, I avoided touching/wiping my face for many reasons, but mostly for sanitary reasons. This spray is NO JOKE, and the HYPE IS SO REAL." — Simmyuno
Get it from Amazon or Sephora for $18+ (available in two sizes).
30. And a pack of Sweat Block wipes so you don't have to suffer through perpetually swampy pits and drippy foreheads any longer. First, press a wipe onto clean, dry skin and let it air dry for five minutes before hitting the hay. Wake up, wash the treated areas, and you're in for up to a week of dry skin. Sounds too good to be true? Well, there's only one way to find out...
www.amazon.com
Oh! BTW, this stuff is reaaaally STRONG, so make sure you do a spot test first — especially if you have sensitive skin!
Check out this review on TikTok!
Promising reviews:"I saw this product on TikTok and I decided to give it a shot since it was only like $20 for 10 wipes (that's 10 weeks, 2.5 months) of no underarm sweat. It worked! I was so happy to finally be able to wear all the shirts I own that are not black! I only apply it every week, and all week long, there is NO sweat under my arms! This is amazing!" — Nes172011
