Amazon
Promising review:"Used for a business trip where I had to be dressed up for 12 hours in the heat for several days in a row. Even used these after getting off flights, needing to refresh before meetings. Made me feel fresh, almost showered, and the deodorizing smell was long-lasting and subtle. Definitely recommend!" — Amazon Customer

The liners come with trimming guidelines so that you can cut the insert to your desired size.

Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I have super oily skin and am always looking for something to help control it during the day. The linen squares are good, but you have to keep them around (and keep replacing them), and they end up in the landfill. This little contraption really works, and I just rinse it at the end of the day and start over again the next. I kept one on my desk and bought a second for my purse. This is magic for my shiny skin, especially on camera in my hours of Zoom every day." — Jennifer Helseth
Get it from Amazon for $8.59.
6. A pet hair remover so you'll be able to reclaim your couch from the mob of fur that's plaguing your home this shedding season. And because it doesn't use disposable adhesive strips, you can use this thing over and over and over and over and...
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This roller is AMAZING! I have two cats and have been struggling to keep up with the shedding hair this spring. I was using the adhesive rollers and a silicone brush thing that worked okay, but both took a lot of effort. I tried the ChomChom roller on a few different surfaces, and it picked up a lot of hair, debris, and dander without much effort." — smaz

Get it from Amazon for $3.62.
8. An anti-bacterial butt acne-clearing lotion that contains tea tree oil to help prevent breakouts. It's especially helpful if the warmer temps give you swamp butt. Now, you may truly have a bottom as smooth as, well, a baby's bottom.
www.amazon.com
9. A pair of reusable nipple pasties for those 'fits you just don't wanna wear an uncomfortable bra with, especially since an extra layer means extra heat. These have thin edges that don't appear under clothing and use a medical-grade adhesive that's gentle on skin.
Promising review:"So I decided to put these to the ultimate test for 4th of July underneath my white, semi-sheer swimsuit. I wore them out in the Florida heat in the ocean all day, and they did not budge or peel off. I thought for sure these would take skin off by the time I got home because I just couldn't believe they stayed on the entire day (humidity is real). I was able to remove them with ease. I washed them with warm water and soap and let them dry, and the next day, they were super sticky, like they were brand new out of the package again. Buying these forever." — Marisa
Get it from Amazon for $26.50+ (available in two styles, three sizes, and five shades).
BuzzFeed editor Natalie Brown swears by these pasties! Check out her Nippies review to learn more.

And it's vegan, hypoallergenic, and paraben-free.
Promising review:"Love this lotion. It is very thick and hydrating. Easy to apply. My skin feels very moisturized after application. The smell is definitely the best part. I have sensitive skin, so I struggle to find scented lotion that I like, but this one has not caused any flare-ups on my skin." — Jaquelin g.
Get it from Amazon for $8.98+ (available in seven scents).
11. A six-speed oscillating tower fan to shoo the heat right out of your room. Not only does this bladeless fan operate super quietly, but it also comes with a remote, so you don't have to leave your comfy spot to get even comfier.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"After moving into a traditional two-story home from a rancher, we wanted fans in our bedrooms to help keep them cool. I have struggled to find a ceiling fan I liked for our primary bedroom, so I finally decided to pick up this tower fan and give it a try. I am so impressed with how quiet it is and how much power it puts out. Having a remote is a major selling point with being in our bedroom. It's slim and able to be tucked away into the corner out of sight when not in use, but it's not even an eyesore that I mind having out to be seen. It was easy to assemble in a matter of just two minutes without any help needed. I'm already looking into purchasing a second one for my large family room, as it has plenty of power to accommodate the space. The remote is easy to use, and I am thrilled with this purchase!" — Jai Banks
Get it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in two styles and three colors).

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"We started using these because our dog got itchy ears every spring and fall. He would scratch until they bled. Poor buddy. I read that these had helped other dogs, so I gave them a shot. Not only did it completely take away that problem, but my dog LOVES to take his 'vitamins' every morning. If we forget, he reminds us very loudly as he scratches the cupboard where they're stored." — E. Johnson
Get 90 chews from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in three sizes and five styles).
13. A Megababe anti-chafing balm because springtime = wearing shorts and wearing shorts = rubbing your thighs raw if you're not careful. Formulated with aloe, pomegranate, and grapeseed oil, this balm will also work to moisturize and soothe your skin.
Megababe
Megababe is a woman-owned small business founded by Katie Sturino, an entrepreneur, body acceptance advocate, and influencer.
Promising review:"I was hesitant to buy this product because I wasn't sure if it would work or not, but WOW!!!!! It works!!!! Amazing!! I've been to a music festival for the past two years, and from walking too much, I've gotten the worst chafing. This year, I decided to buy this and use it during my two days at the music festival. No chafing whatsoever!!! I did reapply a few times (because I was walking tons/sweating). But seriously, this product is wonderful. I tried deodorant last year, and that was no help for me. This is my new go-to, and I'm excited to use it more this summer! Buy this!" — Queen268
Get it from Amazon for $13.97, Megababe for $14, or Target for $13.99.

Amazon, www.amazon.com
Grampa's Gardenware Co. is a family-owned small business that makes products that make the gardening, weeding, or harvesting of your land a little easier.
Promising review: "Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim, given my husband, and I bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard, and 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" — JG
Get it from Grampa's Gardenware Co. on Amazon for $39.99.
15. A portable Bissell multi-purpose carpet cleaner to take care of the spots and stains your carpets and couches garnered throughout hibernation season when you're spring cleaning. It's got powerful spray and suction, so those stubborn messes will be gone in mere moments — no need to go out and rent a cumbersome contraption!
Promising reviews: "I shampooed my husband's recliner, and now it looks brand new. I also did all the mattresses in our house as part of my spring cleaning! The suction is great and makes for a short drying time! Super easy to clean out as well!" — Ashley Anderson
"I have three dogs, and it's springtime in Michigan, which means lots of mud! This cleaner was able to clean my living room chairs very well! The machine is very easy to use and lightweight even when filled with water!" — Dawn F.
Get it from Amazon for $99.98.
16. An anti-nausea acupressure bracelet that may help prevent day-ruining queasiness caused by road trips and boat rides (lookin' at you, 5-day cruise).
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
Get the pack of two from Amazon for $8.36+ (available in six colors).
17. 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." — Liz Young
Get it from Amazon for $28.
18. A pair of super soft high-waisted leggings made with sweat-wicking fabric, so feel free to intensify your early-morning runs. These stretchy yet supportive leggings will become your go-to workout uniform. Reviewers even say they're squat-proof!
BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord would def recommend these:
"I bought these on Prime Day, which is the only day I will buy leggings because I hate wearing leggings with a burning passion. My 'I'm not like other girls' bit is that, for some reason, I am always comfier in jeans than leggings. BUT NOT THESE!!! They slide on. The fabric is so lightweight and breathable that it feels like a whisper. The band is so deceptively comfortable that sometimes I'm like, 'Am I still wearing them??' I use them to run outdoors because that is the only circumstance I'll wear a legging, and I'm happy to report after several washes, they are durable and compressive enough to withstand workouts. They would be excellent for lounging if I weren't wired in this odd anti-legging way. I have already bought two more pairs and made my friends buy them, too."
Promising review:"These leggings are a dream come true! Fits true to size, stayed on the whole 45 minutes of my high-intensity workout, does not show any awkward sweat stains, soft and buttery texture. Can't believe I only found it now! Definitely getting a few more pairs!" — Rachel Chew
Get them from Amazon for $29+ (available in women's sizes XXS–XXL, two inseams, and 22 colors).
19. A fungal nail renewal formula to potentially improve the look of your thick, discolored, and brittle nails in as little as two days. No more wearing close-toed sandals when you go to the beach!
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I tried EVERYTHING! I tried tree tea oil for years and various different products. Nothing worked. The reviews were so great on this that I decided to try to cure it one more time. But when you have had a condition for 35 years, you aren't too hopeful! I followed the suggestions of some of the reviewers and cut my toenails (I only had it on my big toes) everywhere that the fungus was present. Even below the quick. I started applying this gel, which is super easy to use. I swear to you that I noticed a difference after one application." — WIAPilot
Get it from Amazon for $16.97.
20. A lightweight Color Wow anti-frizz spray that'll combat humidity by repelling moisture. Need more? It also doubles as a heat protectant. This gluten-free formula is designed to give your hair a luscious glow, and all you have to do is blow-dry to activate!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Results should last through 3–4 shampoos!
Promising review:"This stuff is legit amazing. Mississippi heat down here — 'real feel' is 111 most days. My hair usually starts to look frizzy and sorta funky wavy in some spots as soon as I leave the house due to the ridiculous humidity we have here. I am so impressed. Somehow, it gave my usually flat-to-my-head hair some volume as well. All I did was shampoo, conditioner, towel dry, and then blow-dry with tension like the back of the bottle says." — ChrisandLeslie
Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in two sizes).
21. A 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:"This is a lifesaver! I was skeptical at first, but after using it on multiple mosquito bites, I'm amazed at how well it works. It provides instant relief by reducing the itch and swelling, all without needing any creams or chemicals." — kezra2010
Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (available in five colors).
22. A grape cutter since grapes are your tot's fave spring snack, but it takes you forever to cut them up by hand. This will quickly slice grapes into quarters, so they're less of a snacking hazard. It's also safe enough for your tot to use (with your supervision, of course).
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I wish I would've had this a LONG time ago. This little gadget has come in so handy. If you have a toddler or small child, you NEED this. It quarters grapes, cherry tomatoes, olives, etc., so they aren't choking hazards for little ones. So much faster than slicing every tiny grape up yourself. 10/10 would recommend." — Sara Waits
Get it from Amazon for $11.76.
23. A cute athletic dress with built-in shorts so you can comfortably ~serve~ on the tennis court. Made with moisture-wicking fabric, this dress also features adjustable straps and a built-in bra. Oh, and the shorts have pockets!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I can get sweaty in this and still feel comfortable. It has shorts so I can bend over and grab my kid without feeling scared I'm flashing someone. It's super comfy, and I want it in every color. Wear with tennis shoes or sandals. I love them." — Robin E.
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL, in two styles, and eight colors).

24. A pack of 10 DEET-free mosquito-repellant bracelets that use essential oils to keep bloodsuckers away. Some reviewers suggest wearing one on your wrist and one on your ankle if you're in mosquito-dense areas.
Promising review:"I'm mosquito heaven and get eaten alive every spring and summer. I've used the spray bug stuff in the past, but I really don't like spraying it on my skin. I put one of these bracelets on an ankle and one on the opposite wrist before playing pickleball and haven't had one bite yet!" — Amazon Customer
Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $9.99.
25. A gel callus remover you just let your feet sit in for 5–10 minutes for silky, smooth skin that's ready for sandal weather. Buh-bye, cracked and dry skin! Why get a pedicure at a salon when you can get the same quality at a fraction of the price *at home*?
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I take very good care of my 67-year-old feet. Always have cause I am a distance walker and biker. Yet summer sandal weather in Texas had them looking and feeling less than baby-pink and soft. For me, it took only three minutes on the heels and ball of my foot, with a bit on the outside edge of my big toe. But WOW, this really worked. In 10 minutes total, I am soft and super smooth and good to go!" — C. brown
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three scents).
26. A stainless-steel Owala water bottle with a built-in straw and spout to help ensure you stay hydrated as the weather gets warmer. This can keep drinks cold for up to 24 hours, and it's cup holder-friendly so go ahead and take it with you everywhere!

Many reviewers say they are "in love" with this water bottle!
Promising review:"Can I just say, WOW? This is an exceptional product! I feel like it combines functionality, style, and convenience very well.

Get it from Amazon for $14.38+ (available in nine colors and two-packs).
28. A Supergoop SPF 40 sunscreen and primer offering a glowy finish that'll make your skin look like you just came from a visit to the actual sun. It's made with hyaluronic acid, vitamin B5, sea lavender, and niacinamide, so you can expect your skin to feel hydrated and protected.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
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 $18+ (available in four sizes and four shades).
29. A portable pimple patch dispenser you can toss in your bag for whenever the spring-y combo of sweat and makeup begets a little blemish. This contains over 100 hydrocolloid patches!
Amazon

Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
30. A fast-absorbing Burt's Bees sunburn relief lotion if even the slightest exposure to the sun turns you as red as a crab. It's formulated with coconut, aloe, and antioxidants to help soothe and hydrate your skin post-sun exposure.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:" I'm happy to say this product works! I purchased this product due to my inability to provide my skin with appropriate sun protection one day this summer. I proceeded to spend a night wishing that I could safely freeze myself into an ice cube. Midnight discomfort led me to this product. The initial use was a day or two after the day of regret, but it eased the discomfort and moisturized my reddened skin, helping to soften the leather layer I had started to form. Of course, this review would not be complete without me faulting myself a second time. Two times in one summer, I proved my inability to adult well. I applied this lotion the MINUTE I realized that I had experienced another exposure to the sun for too long a period. To my absolute joy, this product relieved my discomfort. It left a layer that stayed cool for a few hours (at which time I reapplied it), it was a little tacky to the touch (not sticky or oily), and my skin did not experience the crocodile and subsequent peeling experience it had earlier in the season. The scent is soft and not overpowering. I have experienced skin sensitivity in the past to products, but I had no issues with Burt's Bees products. Thank you for providing me with such a helpful product." — Meghan
32. A 4-in-1 soil moisture and pH meter that can also measure nutrients and light conditions, which will help you to best take care of your spring garden. Just stick the probe into the soil deeper than 2.5 inches and you'll get test results in seconds! Keeping your plants happy just got a lot easier.
www.amazon.com
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 what nutrients are needed. I love it!!" — Grandma Susi
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
33. A pair of quick-dry Teva sandals perfect for spring excursions and just generally letting your toesies breathe after a season of being cocooned in thick socks and winter boots. Their adjustable hook-and-loop closure makes it so you can get the perfect fit for you.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Very adjustable summer sandal I've been using for longer than I care to mention but this is my fifth or sixth pair. I like them for long walks, the beach, rafting and tubing, and a multitude of other outdoor activities. Nice, secure footwear for an active person. I would like a little more adjustment for swelling but that's my age acting up! The comfort of the footbed is excellent." — Kindle Customer
