32 Products You've Probably Been Putting Off Buying, So Let's Stop Procrastinating And Hit 'Add To Cart'
A set of disposable dental guards if you've been grinding your teeth down to nubs in your sleep. Each guard can be used up to three times, with no boiling, cutting, or molding needed. They are ready to go the second you're ready for them. Plus? They're one-size-fits-all vibes and can be worn on your upper and lower teeth.
An adjustable cooling cervical pillow whose concave shape might help relieve and reduce the neck pain you've been waking up with because you've been sleeping on the same flat yet lumpy pillow for waaaay too long.

And if you're wearing that shirt for the third time this week (hey, no judgment!) this spray also works as an odor eliminator!
A dog paw scrubber — just squeeze the bottle to unleash the antibacterial foaming formula within and get those dirty spots off Spot's paws. This is perfect for at-home and on-the-go use! Now, you don't have to worry about cleaning the floors after your pup tracks ickiness throughout your home.
A light-up plug-in insect trap with an inner sticky glue card that is free of chemical insecticides, so it's safe to have in a home that also has kids and pets. This trap catches flying pests and keeps them hidden until you're ready to replace the glue card.

These eco-friendly tablets are designed to offer a super deep clean; they'll make their way to the pump and valve, spray arm, and filters to break down built-up dirt, grime, grease, limescale, hard water marks, and more.
A pack of two flexible dryer vent cleaners because there's likely a bunch of trapped lint causing your clothes to still come out kinda damp. Use this to get all that gunk out, which will also help to prevent dryer fires!

33 Products You'll Never Want To Live Without
Pillowy slippers that must have been made by the comfort gods themselves because over 800 reviewers say they're like walking on clouds ☁️ and as a proud owner of a pair myself, I wholeheartedly agree with that. Or a pair of Cushionaire cork-bottom sandals if you love the look of the Mayari Birks but aren't the biggest fan of the price. These bbs have the exact same strap design and 100% genuine suede soles, so you'll be able to walk around 24/7 and stay as comfy as possible. An Owala FreeSip tumbler offering all the benefits of a Stanley without the spills. What sets this bb apart from all the other bottles out there is its spout — you can either drink through a straw or tilt it back to chug. Plus, you'll never have to painfully sip on a lukewarm bev again because it keeps drinks cold for up to 24 hours with its triple-layer insulation! A set of kinda genius soda can covers if you're the type of person who simply can't finish a drink (guilty). Instead of dumping a half-filled can of Bubly into the sink, just snap on one of these lids and you'll have a still-carbonated drink left to enjoy later! Anua heartleaf pore-clearing cleansing oil that dissolves makeup residue, blackheads, and excess sebum *without* clogging pores or over-drying skin. Reviewers say that they could actually see the oils and gunk leaving their face — kinda gross, very satisfying, and a major slay. And Tonymoly's octopus-shaped scrub stick to help remove whiteheads and blackheads *and* exfoliate your skin. You can just rinse it off with warm water when you're done, so no need to buy those costly one-time-use pore strips. The Pink Stuff, aka the Swiss Army knife of cleaning products because it can do it all. You can literally scrub your house from top to bottom with this jar of miracle paste and make everything ✨ sparkle ✨ once again. You got dirty grout? Gone. Grease? Good riddance. The caked-on gunk at the bottom of your cast-iron pan that seems impossible to get rid of? Buh-bye!!! An ice tray so you can enjoy a fancy glass of Diet Coke with some spherical ice. Plus, reviewers recommend adding some fruit for a refreshing treat! And a silicone tumbler ice-shaped tray because you love your agua ice cold, but your straw says "no, not today" to going all the way in when you use ice cubes. The mold includes three different sizes, so you'll be able to make ice for any tumbler and even stack the cubes if you'd like to! Sol De Janeiro Bum Bum Cream that helps smooth and tighten skin with its caffeine and guaraná extract formula. Reviewers rave about how it helps reduce the appearance of stretch marks (if that's something you're looking to address — but remember you look fab 🎶 just the way you are 🎶)! Plus, it has a pistachio, salted caramel, and vanilla that just made my mouth water. An eyelash comb to separate your lashes when your mascara clumps up after applying. Just brush this through a few times, and you're good to go! A Saem hydrating eye stick that helps reduce the appearance of dark circles, lines, and puffiness using ingredients like Icelandic glacial water, moss and seaweed extracts, and niacinamide — all without oils. If you feel like *nothing* gets rid of those all-nighter eye bags, this might just be your savior. For a top-notch experience, use after refrigeration to help better reduce puffiness! A bottle-emptying cap because the struggle to get out every last drop from a bottle is so real (*cries in wasted shampoo*). Attach it to any lid, flip it, and let gravity do the rest for you. A ChomChom pet hair remover with over 143,000 5-star ratings (!!!), and over 5,000 of them call it "the best," a word that shall not be taken lightly. It's like a reusable lint roller (without those annoying sticky papers) and designed to pick pet hair up efficiently — once fur is locked in, it doesn't go anywhere until you empty it out! An eye makeup remover so you can remove your eyeliner and mascara with ease instead of taking a wipe to your eyes and rubbing them until a few of your lashes fall out. A pair of seamless Nippies silicone pasties because sometimes we'd rather not ~free the nip~. These won't show through your tops and will help cover your areola and nipple, especially if you're planning on wearing a mesh or sheer blouse. A stainless-steel skin spatula that gently scrapes all the gunk from your face. The vibration brings out blackheads, dirt, and oils from your pores, making them easy to remove. For less than $20, think about how much you'll save instead of going for a facial! A standing weeder so you don't have to hunch over in your garden for hours. Its three steel claws will grip the roots so you can pull out stubborn weeds at the source while standing upright — your back will thank you, and so will any nearby plants! Blind-spot mirrors because parallel parking and merging lanes can be such a pain. in. the. neck (yes, figuratively and literally). With these helpful lil' gizmos, you'll be able to save so much time trying to squeeze into that space *and* do it safely! A hands-free pot stirrer that looks like it was invented in the future and transported here to be every busy person's savior. If you're making pasta or soup that requires a lot of "stir-age," just attach this gem to the side of the pot and let it do all the work while you handle other meal prep (or catch up on all the TikTok DMs your friends have sent you). A jewelry cleaning stick for restoring your old rings so they'll stay true to the lyrics ~shine bright like a diamond~. Save yourself a trip to the cleaner, because all you have to do is twist the bottom of the pen and brush the solution on. Lo and behold, your gem is as shiny as new! A bottle of nail and cuticle care oil that can help renew your fingernails after years of nail biting or peeling off acrylics. If your nails are prone to cracking or peeling, the vitamin E and jojoba oil formula will help keep them hydrated and strong! A pack of 40 acne patches so you can tackle that pesky pimple head on. These discreet patches help conceal pimples and prevent you from picking at them while the hydrocolloid absorbs the gunk inside — so they can actually heal faster! They're great for daytime or overnight use. Plus, nose pore patches that remove the grime and excess oil in your nose that are begging to be released. Just leave it on overnight and take it off in the morning to see all the goop and gunk it pulled out, plus your clearer, smaller pores. A foldable, slip-resistant "Sink Topper" if your sink is literally *just* a sink with zero counter space. Unfold this on top, and you'll finally have that much-needed room for all your skincare and makeup products so you can get ready in the morning (or wind down at night) with ease. An in-flight foot hammock because as much as we want to be in first class (*sighs*), it's just not in the budget this is! This'll give your economy seat a little more pizzazz because you'll be able to rest your feet instead of awkwardly placing them around your personal bag — the struggle is real. A WD-40 pen so when your door hinge is making that squeaking sound that's borderline ~horror-movie eerie~, you can just go at it with the precise pen tip instead of bringing out that big ol' can of regular WD-40. No more squeaking or rusting here! An easy-to-use collagen-coating hair mask to treat your dry and damaged hair that's been bleached, dyed, or heat-styled one too many times. Just massage it in, let the collagen and ceramide 3 formula work its magic, and rinse after 5–20 minutes to see some luxurious locks. A DogBuddy pooper scooper so you no longer have to pick up that warm mush of a mess with a plastic bag that's a little too thin. You just have to take one of the doo doo bags and pull it over the scooper, grab the poop, and tie it up — easy peasy, and you'll be less queasy. A pack of stain-removing pads that don't require any scrubbing — what!? When you're halfway out the door to work and notice your puppy had a little accident on your brand-new carpet, just use one of these bad boys! Place it on the stain, give it a stomp to activate it, and the mess will be gone when you return. A box of cleaning K-Cups — if your coffee's been tasting a lil' funky lately, it's probably because your machine is overdue for a cleaning. Just pop it in like you would with a K-Cup and let it run! It'll rid your Keurig of old grinds and residue, help extend its lifespan, and make your coffee taste super-duper fresh! A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets because even though that savior of a machine cleans your bowls, plates, and silverware, it doesn't clean itself. Just pop in a tablet and run a cycle (with or without dishes) to remove limescale and mineral buildup that's making your machine and dishes smell funky. No need to shell out for a new dishwasher after all! An air purifier if you just want to relax at home but the dust lurking around has different plans for you — aka congestion, sneezing, and itchy, watery eyes. This baby captures dust, pollen, smoke, pet dander, and even odors (like the stink from your cat's litter box) so you don't have to live with all those miserable allergens and smells circulating in the air.

30 Must-Have Products Expert Gardeners Love
A seeding-start kit so you can finally sow all those seeds you've been holding onto. This little setup comes with everything you need to start a whole lineup of veggies, herbs, or flowers before sending them out to thrive in your garden. The kit has space for up to 72 seedlings in cells measuring 1.5" x 1.5" x 2" each. Entire tray is 10" x 20" x 5". Recommended for use with a heat mat to promote germination.

Each cell is sturdy and well-designed, ensuring proper airflow and drainage to promote healthy root development. The included greenhouse dome helps retain moisture and warmth, promoting optimal germination and seedling growth. Incredibly user-friendly, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced gardeners alike. The included growing medium is pre-fertilized and ready to use, eliminating the need for additional soil amendments and saving time during the planting process. Highly recommend." —Blondie16Get it from Amazon for $14.69. A weed-puller tool to easily remove weeds from your garden or lawn. It's the bestselling weeding tool on Amazon, and for good reason! The same family-owned small business has been making these since 1913, and 46,000+ reviewers have given the product 5 stars. A seed and seedling spacer tool that'll show you exactly where to put your seeds. The color-coded square helps you space out seeds just right, so your veggies grow in neat little rows instead of chaotic clumps. Just press into the soil, poke holes with the included dibber, and plant. A pack of Miracle-Gro water-storing crystals to keep your outdoor plants perfectly hydrated, without you having to guess if you're overwatering or underwatering. You mix it in with your regular soil, and the crystals swell to absorb water and then release it later. A pair of breathable bamboo gloves that'll make you feel like a gardening pro. They're breathable, flexible, and grippy enough to keep a solid hold on your tools (or that stubborn weed that refuses to budge). Plus, they're made from bamboo, so your hands stay cool and comfy while you work your backyard magic. Or a pair of gardening gloves with extra-long sleeves so you don't have to stress about poison ivy, thorny branches, or mosquito bites while you're out there doing your thing. Bug season is no joke, so it helps to stay covered. These'll also save your arms if you accidentally brush up against something prickly. A crack weeder tool to make your pathways, driveways, and patios like new again. The uniquely shaped head allows the tool to fit into tight cracks and grab weeds by the roots for easy removal. A 3D-printed spout that'll turn your empty milk jug into a fully functional watering can. It's lightweight, easy to fill at the sink, and a genius little upgrade for anyone trying to green their garden and their habits at the same time. Granny Geeks is a woman-owned small business based in Georgia that makes 3D-printed garden review: "Such a clever item. My hose is hard to use so I can fill a jug in my kitchen sink and still have it water my plants well! I loved it so much, this is my second (one for indoor plants which require distilled water and one for my outdoor plants)!" —MelissaGet it from Granny Geeks for $5.99 (available in five colors). A pack of the 20 most popular vegetable seeds to basically turn your vegetable beds into your own organic produce market. From beets and cucumbers to cabbage and okra, there are enough seeds to grow plenty of produce year round. A Nisaku Hori Hori weeding knife that'll help you dig, weed, and slice through stubborn roots. It has both a straight and serrated edge for tackling different tasks, plus inch markings to help you plant at just the right depth. A vertical planter so you can grow herbs, strawberries, or flowers without giving up your whole patio. Just stack the five tiers, fill with soil, and plant up to 20 things in one tidy, compact tower. A battery-operated 2-in-1 handheld hedge and grass trimmer that'll help you clean up messy garden edges, trim back overgrown shrubs, and neaten up any rogue patches of grass. It comes with two blade attachments you can swap out depending on the job, and it's lightweight enough to use one-handed. A pair of stainless-steel gardening shears for clipping cuttings and deadheading. Folks say they're lightweight and easy to use, and despite their size, can cut through really thick, tough stems. A galvanized steel planter bed for neatly planting all your veggies and fruits. It has an open bottom, which provides good drainage and keeps weeds away from your soil. Promising review: "Pretty straightforward to build. I have 6 of them in my garden and have had them since March 2023. It's now January 2025 and they are still holding up pretty well." —Dylan"For the past 40 years have always had a garden in the ground. So tired of weeds taking over. Decided to try raised beds. Love this. Easy to assemble." —Amazon CustomerGet it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in two sizes). Or a raised garden bed that removes the need for bending or kneeling, preserving your back and knees as you tend to your garden. It's made from Chinese fir, a great wood for outdoor furniture and construction because it doesn't warp out of shape when it gets damp or wet. Promising review: "This is my third raised bed. It is very easy to put together, especially after the third time. It is very sturdy; the one I bought three years ago is still standing tall. I like the drainage holes. I do deep watering, so I never worry about the bed being waterlogged. It is easy to move when it is empty, not so much when it is full of dirt." —AnitaGet it from Amazon for $64.99+ (available in three sizes and three finishes). A 21-inch Ryobi self-propelling lawnmower because yard work is way more tolerable when your mower doesn't sound like a helicopter. This one's battery powered-powered (read: quiet), and the charge lasts *forever* — I did both my front and back lawn with juice left over. It's a very worthy investment if you want to maintain a pristine lawn all year long without a lot of effort on your part (self-propelling really is awesome). My house has a lot of lawn: over 3,000 square feet. When we first moved in, I bought a cheap battery-powered mower that could barely handle either the front or the back yard on a single charge. Not ideal. This Ryobi mower is the total opposite. I can mow both the front and back with charge to spare. A "command center" lets you activate turbo mode and lights, and adjust the self-propel speed right from the handle (great for slowing down when you're trying to mow a corner). Turbo mode gives you an extra boost for tough patches, and it comes with a grass catcher bag, though I always keep mine on mulch mode because it's better for the lawn. The handle folds down for easy storage. Bonus: the 40V battery works with over 85 other Ryobi tools, which I love because it means I can expand my collection without collecting a bunch of different batteries. Promising review: "I have about 1,500 sq. ft. yard and I have mowed it four times and the battery is at 50%. It does great on a 25% incline slope. It has so much power that I had to lower it to 50%. Best lawnmower I have ever owned. Highly recommend." —RchoHomeOwner Get it from The Home Depot for $549. A seven-piece garden tool kit if you're new to gardening and want a one-stop shop for all your needs. This kit has a folding stool so you can sit comfortably while you work, and all the tools you'll need for basic gardening tasks. The seven-piece kit includes a weeding fork, cultivator, weeder, transplanter, trowel, folding stool, and tool review: "This stool is extremely convenient. I hate squatting in the garden and flailing around trying to find my tools when I need to dig something up. This has several small pockets for the small tools it comes with, plus a large pocket in the middle where I keep my larger clippers and gloves. Since I have things stored inside now, I don't fold it, but before that, the folding was great because it takes up almost no space in my shed. Can't beat the convenience of using and storing all of these things in one compact package. The tools themselves are decent, too. The shovels are flatter than I am used to, but it has actually come in handy in some areas, like around my stone wall." —MollyGet it from Amazon for $36.99 (available in two colors). A pair of Fiskars 28-inch tree trimmers so you can finally cut back those rogue branches without feeling like you just did CrossFit. They've got power-boosting levers that make it way easier to slice through thicker limbs, and the blades stay sharp and gunk free. Or a pole saw if you're done playing the ladder game every time a tree branch misbehaves. It extends anywhere from nearly 8 feet–27 feet (depending on the model you purchase), letting you trim high limbs from the ground. The sharp, triple-cut blade makes quick work of branches, and the lightweight design won't destroy your arms in the process. A bottle of organic Joyful Dirt concentrated plant food and fertilizer for indoor or outdoor plants that you mix into either soil or the plant's water. Within a few weeks, your plants will look noticeably healthier and taller. Joyful Dirt is a small business based in Portland, Oregon, making organic, all-purpose plant food since review: "We love this stuff. We use it on all of our house plants and our outdoor garden. The indoor plants look better day and night about a week after application. Love that it's all natural too, and don't have to worry about any harmful chemicals. Been using this stuff for about three years now!" —DJ it from Amazon for $22.95. A pack of reusable Velcro garden ties that'll gently keep your plants in the right spot. Use these to secure stems to stakes, trellises, or cages without damaging anything delicate. They're soft, adjustable, and way easier to manage than twist ties or string. A garden dibber to make planting bulbs, sowing seeds, and breaking up clumps of dirt easier than ever — every gardener should have one of these babies! A pack of five heavy-duty fabric grow bags so you can grow big plants with ease. These grow bags use a breathable material, which keeps roots and soil oxygenated and cool throughout the year. Great for developing robust, fibrous root systems that stay healthy without needing regular root pruning. Promising review: "So I'm no plant pot-biologist, but these are awesome. They're durable and strong. The handles are stitched on super well. They are also solid enough to hold the soil and plant with no problem while letting enough oxygen to the roots to create a bigger root ball, leading to bigger plants/yields. Best mesh flower pots by far." —Tom Higgins Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in tan or black and in 10 sizes). A potting bench to turn your backyard into your new favorite workspace. This one will give you a waist-height spot to repot, trim, and admire your plants without hunching over like a Victorian ghost. It'll hold your tools, display your prettiest blooms, and even offer a little shelf for whatever garden project you're working on next. Promising review: "Nothing to dislike about this garden bench. It's not built for heavy-duty gardening, which is what I love about it. There's storage, a drawer, and a little shelf for my supplies. It's a private area for just me to play with my plants and bulbs. Super easy to clean up, too. Love it!!" —AprilGet it from Amazon for $122.99+ (available in three wood finishes; be sure to apply the $12 off coupon when applicable). A smart sprinkler controller that'll take over your yard's watering schedule with actual intelligence. It uses weather data to skip watering when it rains, adjusts automatically with the seasons, and lets you control everything from your phone. You'll get a greener, healthier lawn without wasting water or fiddling with confusing timers. Promising review: "I bought this Rachio 3 because I need remote control of my irrigation system. I did research, and Rachio 3 came to the top of the list. My old one is Hunter, which is ok but not Wi-Fi controllable. Plus, it is hard to schedule different watering schedules at the same time. The Rachio 3 is really smart and very user-friendly. It will skip the water day if rainfall is in the forecast. I wish I bought this unit years ago." —Turning Point Get it from Amazon for $164.99+ (available in two styles). A pack of three rolling plant caddies to make sure you can move your heaviest plants without much effort. Each caddy can hold up to 80 pounds, too, so we're talking about some pretty big plants! An extremely flexible, kink-free garden hose so you can water your yard with ease. It's also way lighter than other hoses — perfect for those of us who don't want to turn watering the garden into a cardio session. Promising review: "This thing is an absolute game changer. I mean, it's heavy-duty yet super lightweight, which is a total win-win. It's like the Hulk of garden hoses: strong and sturdy but easy to handle. I can drag it around my yard without feeling like I'm lugging around a huge snake. It's also a vibrant green color, so it adds a nice pop to my outdoor space. I highly recommend it to all my fellow garden enthusiasts out there. You won't regret it!" —Fouad al MaawdahGet it from Amazon for $14.85+ (available in eight lengths). A garden hose nozzle sprayer with up to eight patterns that'll fit all standard garden hoses. Reviewers love (there are over 16,200 5-star reviews!) the 100% heavy-duty metal handle, and that it can take on jobs as simple as lawn watering all the way up to more complicated ones like muddy dog washing. Promising review: "The double seal where the handle connects to the hose is a high-quality feature. I chose this model because of the lever flow control. As an avid gardener, this is better than the trigger-activated garden hose nozzles." —Ernest it from Amazon for $21.80+ (available with three pattern quantities). A pair of supportive, waterproof clogs if you're always tracking mud into the house after spending time in the garden. When you're done outside you can just wipe 'em down or hose 'em off. And a pair of knee pads for comfortably gardening for hours on end. Gardening is such a wonderful thing, but if your body starts to ache you can soon be in agony. Give these pads a try if you find yourself having to quit gardening before you're ready due to aches and pains.

Watch as moose cool off under sprinklers in Idaho. ‘Free dinner and a shower'
Two young moose were spotted cooling off in sprinklers in an Idaho field, a video shows. The animals then had quite the adventure, with numerous sightings across the city of Blackfoot. The wild animals were filmed July 22 as they lounged in a field under sprinklers, Brenda Stanley posted in Life in Blackfoot, a page on Facebook. Stanley could not be immediately reached by McClatchy News on July 24. 'Free dinner and a shower, can't get any better than that,' someone commented on the post. 'Hot moose cooling off,' another person wrote. The moose were then caught on camera near Walmart and Super 8, one person shared in a Facebook post. 'Mooses on the looses!!' Stephanie Herbert wrote. More sightings were reported of the yearling male and female in parking lots near Ridley's Family Markets store and Taco Bell, the Idaho Fish and Game said in a July 23 news release.
