We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
Oh look: a list of long overdue treats for you — and your wallet will probably be thanking you for buying them at some of their lowest prices *now*, courtesy of Amazon's Big Spring Sale.
Amazon's Spring Sale starts March 25th, but you don't have to wait until then to shop all the deals — here are the best of the best you can get right! now!
1. A pair of Beats Studio Pro headphones for 49% off (the cheapest they go for outside of Cyber Week) with noise-cancelling, personalized spacial audio, and up to *40* hours of battery life so you can enjoy immersive sound for hours and hours — without spending hundreds on similar headphones.
Promising review:"My hair is on the "bigger" side, so headphones tend to become uncomfortable after an hour or two of usage. However, t hese are so comfortable and light that I often forget I've got them on. I'm by no means an expert on this topic, but the sound quality these headphones provide is unreal. When listening to my favorite songs, I pick up on background instruments I was previously unable to. It's just so amazing to be able to listen to music like this. The noise cancellation is also top tier. Even in a crowded room, nouse just disappears with the press of a button. Transparent mode works extremely well, too. I love being able to hold a conversation while still being able to hear my music. I HIGHLY recommend these headphones for anyone looking for a more budget-friendly alternative to more pricy competitors." — Shanae
2. A popular candle warmer for 43% off, plus an extra 30% off (a new lowest price) to take any scented candle collector's setup to the next level. The warmth from the lamp melts the candle from the top down — that means an even melt from edge to edge (no tunneling!), no open flame or resulting smoke or soot, *and* can even help candles last longer, according to reviewers.
Promising review:"Total game-changer! No flames, zero soot, just cozy vibes. The timer/dimmer is clutch—set it and forget it, or tweak the brightness to match the mood. Melts candles evenly so the scent lasts forever, and the sleek design looks pricey (but isn't). Comes with bulbs, works straight outta the box. Perfect gift or treat-yourself splurge." — 6k3d
3. A 40-ounce Stanley Quenchers for 25% off (for select colors) — because if you're going to add to your collection or hop on the Emotional Support Water Bottle bandwagon, you might as well save a few bucks while you're at it.
amazon.com
Promising review:"I used to make fun of people for using these Stanley cups; I always thought they were overpriced and overhyped. But I purchased this for my little sister who is in nursing school, and she takes this thing with her everywhere!!! All she does is rave about how amazing it is! So I bought one as well, and they really are amazing products. Made super well, they keep ice in them for hours and hours! Super comfortable to hold in your hand, not too heavy or bulky. Easy to clean and seem to be super durable. I've dropped mine I don't even know how many times now, and not a single mark! They also don't leak easy at all. Unless you're holding it completely upside down, even then it doesn't leak fast. Super happy!" — Jon & Katie Severs
4. A collapsible foot spa for 33% off (its lowest price ever!) to invigorate your overworked feet after a long day. It even has a removable pumice stone so you can go to town on your dead skin while you're at it. If you were practically born to be a homebody — might as well treat your feet while you're at it.
Amazon
Promising review:"This foot soaker massager is another great find. It is next level from my little gold hospital basin that I was using to pamper my feet. The temperature heating system works amazingly well. I could feel the water getting hot. There's a built in pumice stone — nice touch. I think the water bubbling process is too weak, but not what I really purchased it for. The rotor massage bars are an nice touch as well. There is one confusing thing about this unit, and that's the horizontal white bar. The collapsibility of this unit is super impressive. Storage is a breeze. I actually soaked my feet for two hours. I did purchase the tea tree epsom salt…the old skin melted away like butter. I recommend purchasing it if you're like me and don't like spending your time sitting in a salon." — Sarah
5. A face and neck massager for 25% off that comes with three light functions: blue, red, and green, all for different skin concerns. Many reviewers also mention that this has helped their other skincare products absorb more deeply into their skin (which, if you think about it, means this is saving you even *more* money)!
Amazon
Promising review:"I recently purchased this massager and I am absolutely thrilled with the results! This tool has become an essential part of my skincare routine. The soothing massage it provides feels divine and instantly relaxes both my face and neck. I've noticed a significant improvement in the firmness and elasticity of my skin. The lifting and firming effects are real, and I've seen a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and dark circles around my eyes. I appreciate how quiet it is during use, so I can enjoy a peaceful self-care session without any distractions. Plus, it's lightweight and compact enough to store easily or take along while traveling. Treat yourself—you won't regret it!" — RMTRAN
6. A Zinus memory foam mattress for 21% off, placing it at its lowest price ever! It features medium firmness that's infused with all-natural green tea and purified charcoal to help keep your mattress fresh night after night — perfect for sweaty sleepers.
Amazon
Promising review:"I've been using this mattress for over two years now, and it's still as comfortable as the first day I got it. The green tea-infused memory foam provides great contour support, and it helps with pressure relief for a restful night's sleep. The mattress has remained durable and firm without sagging, even after years of use. It also continues to be odor-free and keeps a cooler temperature than most foam mattresses. Worth every penny and a solid investment for anyone looking for a reliable and long-lasting mattress!" — Prudhvi
7. A pack of gentle GuruNanda teeth whitening strips for 35% off (its lowest price ever!), which you'll appreciate if you're a human who drinks coffee, tea, wine, and basically anything that isn't water. 🙃 This dry-strip formula combines hydrogen peroxide with soothing coconut extracts, helping to break down stains and whiten teeth for some *truly* pearly whites.
Promising review:"I have the most sensitive teeth and I can't stand the light teeth whitening products. And they never seen to be effective. I used this for an hour every night brushed before and after, the results are incredible. Highly recommend buying!! Photo (the one shown above) is after a week! My teeth also feel cleaner and smoother, I think it got so much plaque off as well!" — Caleb Baker
8. A Cosori air fryer for 33% off (the cheapest it goes for) in a 2.1-quart size that's perfect for whipping up individual snacks and meals without taking up oodles of counter space. That means better frozen wings and tots, crispier reheated leftovers, and making simple dinners without turning on the stove or oven — which takes way longer and runs up your gas or electric bill.
amazon.com
Promising review:"What a game-changer for anyone who loves crispy, delicious food with less oil. Its capacity makes it perfect for families, and ensures food cooks evenly and quickly. Whether you're air frying, roasting, or even dehydrating, this versatile appliance delivers great results every tim e. The intuitive digital controls make it easy to adjust settings, and cleaning up is a breeze with its nonstick basket. If you're looking for a reliable air fryer that offers both power and convenience, this is a fantastic choice." — TheProfessor
9. A Cosrx's Peptide Skin Booster for 24% off — a K-beauty facial essence packed with niacinamide (for acne and hyperpigmentation), hyaluronic acid and allantoin (for soothing hydration), and adenosine and peptides (for fine lines). Just pat the lightweight serum in before your favorite moisturizer or layer with other products — reviewers love the plumping glow it gives their skin.
Amazon
Promising review:"Hands-down my favorite skincare item. I have now ordered my third bottle. I will use this forever! This has been so amazing for my skin. I began using just in the evenings and when I noticed an improvement, I stepped up my skincare and added it to my morning routine as well. I am in my forties so I have been more consistent, and I have gotten so many compliments on my skin after I added this in. I have noticed a difference in overall skin appearance: Redness gone, blemishes gone and my skin looks so healthy and feels healthier. I have even had people ask if I had concealer on or a makeup primer or blurring primer on and I have nothing on!" — Donna lambert
10. A 50-pack of Nespresso capsules for 28% off — its lowest price yet! It comes with three different flavors, so you don't have to decide on a favorite. You can try a new one each day and love all your little coffee cappies equally.
Promising review:"I am absolutely delighted with my purchase. As a coffee enthusiast who enjoys starting the day with a flavorful and aromatic cup, this variety pack has exceeded my expectations in every way. First and foremost, the assortment of lungo blends included in this pack offers a delightful range of flavors and intensities, catering to different preferences and moods. Whether I'm craving a bold and robust start to my morning or a smoother, more nuanced cup to savor throughout the day, this pack has me covered. From the rich and velvety Arpeggio to the vibrant and aromatic Roma, each lungo blend in this variety pack offers a unique and enjoyable coffee experience. It's a wonderful way to explore different flavors and discover new favorites. Overall, I highly recommend this to any coffee lover looking for convenience, quality, and variety in their daily cup. It's a five-star product that has earned a permanent place in my morning routine." — Mariano
11. Or a wildly popular bag of Lavazza Super Crema whole bean coffee for 20% off — and with over 38,000 five-star ratings! These magical beans have a mild, creamy taste with notes of hazelnut and brown sugar that'll elevate your whole coffee game. If I can add more richness to my brew with this blend, I'll do it by whatever ~beans~ necessary.
On my hunt for the perfect coffee bean, I've tried manyyy brands. And these? The best I've tried so far. Hands down. I grind them in my Breville espresso machine and the gloriously creamy, rich flavor that it adds to my cup is unmatched. It's more than safe to say that this wonderful bag of beans has earned its permanent spot on my coffee bar.
Promising review:"Amazing magical beans!! I've used these beans in a mocha and an espresso machine, and they are absolutely delicious every time. I'm new to the espresso world so I'm not going to pretend I know all about the berry notes. All I know is that I am so happy to have bought this bag, the beans are super fresh! The smell when I open the bag is heavenly and makes me so happy whenever I open the jar I keep them in. I'm gonna go make a cup now lol." — M
12. A Tempur-Pedic Memory Foam Symphony Pillow for 55% off that'll adapt to the shape of your head and neck for ultimate support and comfort. Plus, it has one side that is gently arched to better support back sleepers *and* on the other side is a flatter design for stomach and side sleepers
Amazon
Promising review:"This pillow gives great neck support. This pillow is also soft and comfortable. The only downside is, I have to race to get the bed before the dog takes it." — peppe
13. A Kitsch heatless hair curler for 28% off — it's covered in satin to help lock in moisture and reduce frizz and split ends. Rather than using different individual rods, your hair gets wrapped around this single long rod, kind of like a headband. It's comfortable enough to sleep in and even cute enough to wear out as a hairstyle, and you'll have gorgeous ringlets for the next several days after removal!
amazon.com
Promising review: "I didn't think this would work. My hair is thin-ish and doesn't hold curl that well. I burn myself nonstop with the curling wand, just to have my hair lose most of the curl. So I tried this. I followed the suggestions in the reviews and a few YouTube videos that said to do it with dry hair, and OMG MY HAIR WAS GORGEOUS the next day. A beautiful wave, my hair was silky and shiny, AND it lasted THREE DAYS!!! I brushed them out each day, so they loosened a bit but still VERY pretty. I may never use my curling wand again because I read you can put this in your hair for two hours, and it will work. The tighter you wrap your hair, the tighter the curl, so you CAN get different looks." — Janice Morse
14. Or the super viral Wavytalk heated curling brush for 23% off (at the lowest price these colorways go for) with bristles and five temperature options that'll leave you with a salon-worthy look in just minutes. This one-time investment will save you big bucks at the salon over time and help your hair be its bounciest between blowouts!
amazon.com, amazon.com
Curlier hair types might notice some snagging in the bristles.
Promising review: " IT'S SO GOOD. I have 2B hair, and it gives me the perfect 90's blowout. Stays all day. I haven't noticed any snagging or hair getting caught in it while using. Also, it heats up to 420, which is more than enough for me. 10/10!!" — Sabrina
Promising review:"If you are on the fence about this,….. just buy it! I am 50+ and have never been great at doing my own hair. This is so easy for a blowout look in about 5 minutes! And it's quiet,…. No loud hair dryer needed!" — K. ONeil
Price: $45.99 ($59.99; available in pink and purple)
The Wavytalk blow dryer set is also on sale for 42% off — it's down to $32.13, and the 5-in-1 set with heated brush and curling iron barrels is about $10 off its typical price, down to $39.19.
15. And a Wavytalk hair dryer for 42% off that features high-speed airflow, a concentrated nozzle for precision, and three temperature settings for effortlessly sleek results. The best part? Besides it being at almost the lowest price it's ever been, it comes in many cute colors!
amazon.com, amazon.com
It also comes with three attachments for every style: A concentrated nozzle for precision airflow, a diffuser for reducing frizz while enhancing and defining natural curls or waves, and a comb attachment for smoothing and straightening.
Promising review: " This little hair dryer packs some power and quality to its punch!! This guy dries my hair so quickly it's crazy! The cord length is nice, I can maneuver it around really well when drying my hair too! I love this and I haven't even used all the attachments yet either. I have had it for six months and I'm really happy with the value for my money! Plus it's gorgeous, I got the hot pink one and I'm super happy!" — Mon
16. A Zojirushi rice cooker for $64 off (the cheapest it's been in a full year!) reviewers say is so worth the investment, especially if you regularly eat a lot of rice. You'll get *perfect* results every time — including white, jasmine, sushi, and brown rices, plus sweet and porridge settings — without having to babysit the stove or worrying about cook times. Just take it from this reviewer: "I'm 47 years old and feel like I just ate rice for the first time; it was that much of a difference in quality."
Reviewers have come back to leave glowing reviews after years of use or upgraded to this model after years of using another Zojirushi (one lasted almost *17 years*).
Promising review:"I literally just got it today and decided to make plain white rice to test it out. I eat a lot of rice usually and used to cook bigger batches to last me a week, but it gets clumpy after refrigerating it. I made 1 cup of rice using the Zojirushi and it's the most perfect rice I've ever tasted in my life, this rice cooker is 73664882266% worth it, if you don't mind the price. I can't wait to cook more" — Luisa
Promising review:"Bought in January, 2016, and 'til today 2/4/2019 going strong as day one. Rice always come out absolutely perfect. No issues.
UPDATE 12/3/2019: Survived cross-country move. Still working as day one.
UPDATE 6/11/2023: Still works great, used daily." — GoodFella [that's 7 and a half years later!]
17. A ribbed strapless dress for 25% off, which you can rock now under a denim jacket, all summer long on its own, and dress up to wear to the multitude of spring and summer weddings on your calendar.
amazon.com, amazon.com
18. A Ulike laser hair removal device for 27% off, plus $30 off, *plus* an extra 5% off (slightly cheaper than it's usual lowest price) if you want to treat yourself to the ~luxury~ of a medical spa without paying the prices of one. Many reviewers notice a reduction in hair growth in as little a 3-4 weeks.
amazon.com, amazon.com
Note: This device is not designed to work on deeper skin tones. It also does not work for red, blonde, white, or gray hair. The set includes glasses that should be worn while operating the device.
Promising review: " So far, the hair growth has either slowed down to an incredible amount or completely stopped as of today. I went on a two-week trip mid-March where I couldn't use the device (overseas), and I barely had to shave any of these areas. For reference, before using this, I had to shave every day and would feel the hair growing back/stubble by evening on the same day, as my hair grows super fast. The hair that is growing back is much thinner and less noticeable, and I think with more use it will almost completely disappear. I am SO happy I decided to try this out and I think it was completely worth it. I am going to start using it on my legs soon." — Skaandar
19. A gloriously cozy (and, currently, at its lowest price ever) Bedsure fleece throw for up to 33% off of select colors. Seriously, this is something a home stager would immediately reach for to add a homey yet elegant touch to a space. TBH, just looking at it makes me want to doze off into Dreamland.
Amazon
Promising review:"This blanket is perfect. It is made of very good material and feels incredibly soft and snuggly without being to heavy or hot once your covered. It is easy to wash and looks beautiful. I would purchase again and have recommended it to friends and family." — Pilar Galarza
20. A Vitamix Propel 750 blender for 37% off (the cheapest it's gone for — tied with last Cyber Week) with all the reviewer-beloved Vitamix features (quality build, super-fast and thorough blending, easy cleanup) with *five* preset options — smoothie, hot soup, frozen dessert, dips and spreads, and self-cleaning — to make whipping up meals and treats even easier.
Amazon
Promising review:"Bought this product on sale, and it was worth the investment. It blends better than any other blender that I have had. Its multiple options allow for anything from smoothies to purees. I love that I can make soup with this blender. It has plenty of power and a large enough volume to make plenty for a small household. It is also easy to clean! If it is on sale, and you need a better blender, I definitely recommend it. Otherwise, it is very expensive at full price." — Daniel & Amanda
21. A Dyson Jet Focus heater and fan for 36% off, a small, easy-to-handle tower fan that blows warm or cold air for year-round comfort. That means there's no need to dig around storage to swap devices seasonally. It's also got a built-in thermostat to prevent overheating. Reviewers say it's cool to the touch (making it safe for children and reducing fire risk), it's extremely quiet, and it won't run up the electric bill!
amazon.com, amazon.com
Promising review:"We are loving this! We are using the heater to heat a cool section of our house and it is working very well. It is quiet. The oscillating feature seems to really spread the heat around. It's nice to be able to set the temp and it will turn on and off on its own. I had debated on one for years and saw this one sale and finally got one. I am so glad I did and wish I had done it sooner! My mom and aunt were very impressed by it also and found it to be warmer and have a father hear range than the edenpure they use." — Amazon Jane

37 Products So Terrific, They Deserve All The Accolades

A surprisingly effective instant foot peeling spray if you want baby-soft footsies but don't have the time OR patience to visit the salon for a pricey pedicure. Just spray onto clean, dry feet and rub away dead skin! For an ~extra~ peeling effect, use an exfoliating mitt! A multitalented instant mold and mildew stain remover spray so you can eliminate pesky mold from your patio furniture like a pro. Spray, wait 15 seconds, and watch the mold vanish! Bonus: It can also be used in the bathroom and kitchen so you'll never run out of ways to put it to use. It's been dubbed a top mold and mildew remover, too. A Pikk-it tool when you've already shaved years off your life by trying to manually untangle your own hair from the vacuum — not anymore. This lil' gadget deserves an honorable mention because it'll work to get rid of all the stubborn strands that are affecting your vac's suction power. You can use it on hairbrushes as well! Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel, better known as eyeball fuel so you can keep those lovely "you look tired" comments at bay.

A genius veggie chopper with four interchangeable blades for small and large dicing, spiralizing, and making ribbons. This will become your future must-have kitchen sidekick thanks to its endless usefulness. Get ready to fall in love with meal prep again now that chopping is a breeze! Medicube's dual-textured toner pads, which are super easy to use and come soaked in lactic and salicylic acid.

It's earned the esteemed #1 spot on Amazon's best facial toner list for a reason! A reusable screen-cleaning brush that'll make you question how you ever cleaned the screens BEFORE this genius gadget entered your life. Now you can get rid of all the caked-on grime and bugs for good! These are the kinda results that'll have you singing, "A whoooole new world" as you look out your clean screens. A life-saving ChomChom roller if your household is basically drowning in pet hair. Simply roll it back and forth on the hair-ridden area, then empty the compartment when you're done! It already has thousands of accolades in the form of 5-star ratings. Brazilian Bum Bum body cream, an award-winning lotion made with guarana extract, coconut oil, and caffeine to help smooth and tighten your skin. Plus, it basically smells like sunshine in a jar so you won't even have to bother with perfume. Did I mention it continues to hold the title as one of the top body creams? We love to see it. A mouthguard and retainer cleaner because let's be honest, yours is probably in dire need of a refresh. Drop a tablet in a glass of warm water, then add your mouthguard, retainer, or Invisalign to help demolish odor-causing bacteria, discoloration, and plaque. A moisturizing Mise En Scene hair serum made with a blend of nourishing oils, including argan, coconut, olive, and jojoba to help repair brittle locks so they're silky-smooth once again. Reviewers praise this serum for helping to combat dryness! Plus, it smells downright divine so this one is in a class of its own. A pack of carborundum sponges, which is one of those products you wish you'd find much earlier in life. They're just *that* terrific at lifting the stubborn stains and grime you typically spend wayyyy too long hunched over the sink scrubbing. A 2-in-1 nausea relief inhaler that contains a blend of menthol, camphor, and essential oils to help curb nausea when it hits ya outta nowhere. You can inhale it OR apply a small dab under your nose for longer-lasting relief that'll fight motion sickness, morning sickness, and good old random queasiness. How this hasn't earned its rightful recognition yet is beyond me, tbh. A roll of toilet sealant tape if you have no intention of picking up a tube of caulk in this lifetime or the next. This self-adhesive tape is flexible and will put such a nice finishing touch on your porcelain throne, you'll feel like royalty whenever you sit on it. A long-handled standing weeder because bending over (and over...) to pull pesky weeds should be illegal. Not only will you save yourself time *and* lots of pain, but the yard will look absolutely stunning. I bet you'll wanna give it a trophy when you're done. And a crack weeder tool to help dominate those ever-resilient weeds that manage to grow through the cracks in concrete! This sturdy tool can get into those tight spaces and get rid of weeds, moss, and thistles in no time. Hall of Fame induction = pending. A hairbrush cleaning tool so you can easily pull out ALL the hair and product buildup that's been living rent-free in your brush. The pointed end rakes out loose hair while the bristles are designed to extract fluff, dirt, and other stubborn debris. This one deserves a standing ovation. 👏 Mighty Patches, which are ~tiny but mighty~ and can help draw the gunk out of zits with hydrocolloid. These may also prevent you from picking your face, which lowers your chances of scarring. Stick one on at bedtime and behold the amazing results upon waking. Reviewers also love that you can hardly tell you're wearing one! A color-changing moisture indicator for transforming your black thumb into a green one before your eyes. If you constantly question whether you're over- or under-watering your plants, this will help you crack the case. It changes color to let you know when the soil is moist or needs to be hydrated. A wart-removing gel — this stuff is so terrifically effective, you'll be rubbing your eyes in disbelief at the results. It contains salicylic acid to help dry out those growths *and* it comes with waterproof patches for an effective, no-mess solution. Don't be surprised if this one takes the crown. 👑 A jar of *THE* Pink Stuff because sometimes you need an award-worthy cleaning paste to get rid of tough messes (it's one of the top products in household cleaning, after all). You'll be shocked by how quickly and easily this stuff can lift the stains you've been battling for ages — everything from messes in the oven to scuff marks on shoes to hard water stains in the shower. A dryer vent cleaning system with gag-worthy results but I promise the sheer relief will be worth it. This thing sucks out all the lint and dust trapped in your dryer vent — it can remove buildup that's up to 12 feet long! Plus, clogged vents = longer drying times + higher utility bills, so this saves you money too. That's worthy of *several* accolades if you ask me. A "why didn't I try this sooner?" teeth-whitening pen so you can banish stubborn wine, coffee, and tea stains you've tried literally everything else on. It's painless, amazingly effective, mint-flavored, *and* critically acclaimed by thousands of reviewers! A beeswax wood polish and conditioner that'll work wonders for restoring that sacred antique you were about to give up on. Instead of slathering it in a coat of paint, try this first! It's made with beeswax that'll instantly revive your sad furniture, doors, and more. A clever neck reading light bookworms will praise until the end of time for its sheer wisdom. You'll be able to read in the dark without straining your eyeballs or committing to a disturbingly bright BIG light. It's rechargeable with adjustable brightness settings and can go for 80 hours before needing a charge! Need I say more...🏆 A two-pack of reusable mop pads because yes, you should stop wasting your hard-earned money on single-use Swiffer pads. They're made with extra-thick microfibers that trap dirt when sweeping and absorb moisture when mopping. Your most-dreaded cleaning tasks are about to be a lot easier. A *self-cleaning* grooming brush you'll soon wonder how you lived without. This tool gently and effectively removes excess pet hair with a few (or several, depending on the pet!) swipes. With the push of a button, the bristles retract for easy dumping of the excess hair into the trash. Revlon's oil-absorbing volcanic face roller that can make excess oil instantly ✨disappear✨ with a few swipes. It's more eco-friendly than blotting sheets and you won't have to keep reapplying powder. Overachiever much?? A magical oil stain remover to help bring your driveway and paved walkways back to their original glory days. Apply the formula, allow it to dry, then brush it away to reveal a stain-free surface that most definitely qualifies for award status! Anti-slip glasses holders if you spend an ungodly amount of time pushing your glasses back up your for them to fall back down again. These are made of silicone and will help secure your glasses without squeezing your skull until it nearly pops — just slide the arm of your eyewear through the grip! A suede and nubuck brush that'll make your old pair of sandals or boots look so shockingly brand new, you'll nominate it for a prize. The four-way brush has rubber bristles to remove dirt and two welt brushes on the sides to help clean the nooks and crannies. And! The dual nylon/metal bristles remove tough stains without causing damage. LilyAna Naturals eye cream when you wanna brighten your under-eye area with dazzling ingredients, like provitamin A, vitamins C and E, and rosehip seed oil. Reviewers also love that it reduces the appearance of dark circles so you know it's a winner. A ceiling fan carbon filter, which sticks right onto the blades and catches dust, pollen, dander, and other allergens while the fan spins. Enjoy breathing cleaner air and forget about 'em until it's time for a replacement. FryAway Waste Cooking Oil Solidifier Powder so disposing of leftover cooking grease isn't a total nightmare, which is cause for celebration if you ask me. Sprinkle the powder in the oil while it's hot, let it cool, then scoop it into the trash. A hard-water stain remover for banishing those ghastly stains in your shower and restoring it to its beautiful like-new condition. It works on cloudy shower doors, spotty fixtures, dirty tile, and more. Seriously, this stuff works so well that you'll wanna give a touching tribute every time you use it. A holy grail sunburn soother from Burt's Bees with both aloe and coconut oil to help hydrate sun-damaged skin and bid farewell to that nasty sunburn you tried but failed to prevent. Blistering and peeling? No thank you. A washable drip catcher that'll take care of those tiny ponds around the sink so you don't have to. Plus, you'll save yourself SO many paper towels and/or dirty dish towels. Place it around the neck of your faucet and pat yourself on the back for this winning purchase.

25 Disney And Universal Theme Park Essentials

Hey guys! I'm Samar Hadri, a BuzzFeed shopping writer and Orlando, Florida native 🍊. I've been a Disney World *and* Universal Studios Annual Passholder for well over a decade (I may or may not have even gotten married at Disney 😅), so yeah, I'm something of a theme park expert. These are the products that I've tried and can recommend firsthand to make sure your amusement park experience is as smooth and stress-free as possible. With these products, you can feel prepared for almost any situation that pops up during a full day of trudging through the parks. First things first, a mid-size sling backpack to carry all of your essentials, while being small enough to fit in the pouch of whichever rides you love the most. With several compartments inside the bag, as well as a front pouch on the strap, you can keep everything incredibly organized to cut down on the time it takes for you to dig for your phone for spontaneous photos or sunscreen for your two-hour reapplications. Plus, it even has mesh pockets for your water bottle and umbrella! A reusable rain poncho for the buckets of water that can suddenly, without warning, drop from the Florida skies.

It'll obscure the view of your patio, balcony, or yard while still letting in some light so you don't make the space feel walled in. Promising review: "I am very happy with this reed fencing. The lovely brown color and tight weave with the string is so much better than ones I've had in the past that were woven with wire that look shabby and horrible. These are a wonderful quality for the price, to make putting up large sections of fencing more affordable. They are not completely private, as people have mentioned, but that's not what I wanted. I wanted to be able to see through a little bit, but they work great to give some sense of separation and privacy." —Lauren it from Amazon for $56.09+ (available in seven sizes and two colors).

These are perfect and hold lots of florals; the ivy I have is already beginning to climb the trellis, and they're sturdy!! We live in a windy area, and so far, they haven't budged. Also so, so easy to put together!! Took us less than a half hour probably." —JessicaGet it from Amazon for $76.49+ (available in three sizes; clip the 10% off coupon when applicable).
