39 Practical Amazon Items Our Readers Are Loving In 2025
A pack of prescription-strength SweatBlock wipes for anyone who thinks of summer not as a time of BBQs and ice cream trucks, but as a season of sweaty misery. These wipes contain pure aluminum chloride — aka the strongest possible dose of the thing that makes antiperspirant work. And one wipe can curtail your sweat for seven days! A hairbrush cleaning tool because admit hairbrush is looking kind of nasty these days. We've all been there! That thing collects hair, stray pieces of fuzz, dandruff, natural scalp oils, and dander every day — so it needs more to get a serious clean than just picking all the hair strands out by hand, or rubbing it against another brush. This tool has three options for cleaning — bristles, a brushhead, and a pointed tip — so you'll have whatever you need to get all that grossness out of there. A pair of seat gap fillers so you can finally, FINALLY stop losing your phone in that gap between the seats. Also, french fries. Also, your lip balm. Also, your dignity, as you try to wiggle sideways, thrusting your hand under your seat and grabbing wildly. You won't find what you're looking for that you will find the fries. An Apple AirTag, because who needs one more thing to worry about when you're flying? Pop a tag in your suitcase, and know that no matter where it goes, you can track it with the Find My app. So now, you can rest easy, knowing that all you need to worry about is the traffic on the way to the airport, and the length of the security line, and whether the airport shop will charge $7 for a pack of gum... An AquaSonic Ultra Whitening toothbrush that removes 10 times as much plaque as a regular toothbrush and uses smart technology to remind you how long to brush — so you can finally have your dentists not act profoundly disappointed in your when you come for your next check up (they all take dental health so personally, don't they?). Reviewers say it feels comparable to a professional tooth-polishing! Plus, it comes with eight replacement brush heads, which should last you 2.5 years!Promising review: 'This is far and away the closest I have come to a professional dental polishing without actually sitting in a dentist's chair. I love having my teeth cleaned and polished, so I am absolutely elated. I no longer have to constantly change batteries to maintain a level power. This electric toothbrush has all the power I could ever have hoped for. I charged it when it arrived once, and have been using it for a week. It comes with many brush heads, and at first they seem small, but with all this consistent electric power, large heads are completely unnecessary. And the smaller head reaches to clean the back of my teeth so much better!I go back and forth between two different toothpastes daily; the best for the money that I have found to date, Crest 3D White, and Colgate Plaque more stains!! No more plaque buildup. Just clean polished teeth and a super fresh mouth." —RainyPrice: $39.95 A pack of UV detection stickers, because it's just you and me here, so we can admit it: It's really, really hard to remember to re-apply sunscreen. And even if you do remember, how do you know exactly when it has worn off? These stickers tell all — they start out purple when you apply them to your skin, turn clear when your sunscreen is in full effect, and fade back to purple when it's time to re-apply. Genius! A pair of bamboo charcoal shoe deodorizers that are probably a good idea year-round, but are an especially good idea in the summer, aka Season of Foot Stank. If your sneakers seems less than polite-smelling these days, just tuck these pouches in them overnight, and get ready for tolerable shoes in the morning! They're also great for absorbing moisture if you and your kicks get stuck in a summer rain storm. And they last for up to two years! Just recharge them by leaving them in the sun once a month. A set of drip-preventing ice pop holders to snap onto the bottom of any ice cream cone or popsicle stick in sight. Let the kiddos enjoy their summer treats without getting Rocket Pop juice dripped all over their Frozen T-shirt in the process (because you know if that red dye stains gonna have a problem). An ultra-absorbent Muddy Mat for Fido to wipe his dirty little paws on. The mat's thick pile helps pull mud off paws, and it can hold five times its weight in water, so even when you two come in from a rainy day walk, it will keep things from getting messy. An under-the-cabinet banana hanger that will solve two problems at once: 1) how to get more room on your table or counter, 2) how to keep your bananas from getting so friggin' bruised that they're mushy and gnarly before you even have a chance to eat them. We love a multi-tasker! A sheet of LED-dimming stickers because it doesn't feel like you have a billion tiny lights in your you try to go to sleep. These stickers will block the bright lights from routers, TVs, air conditioners, or any other electronics — you'll be able to see enough light to tell that they're on, but not so much light that it basically feels like a 24/7 sunrise inside your bedroom. Promising review: "This is the best thing you never knew you needed. I own a digital clock with the numbers displayed in red LED light, and every night I've blocked the light with a cover so it doesn't shine in my eyes as I sleep. Silly I know, but I like my room pitch black and cave-like. On a whim I bought this product. OH MY GOD! Game changer!! For the first night EVER I didn't have to cover the clock display before I went to bed!! I had no idea how big of a difference this little dimmer could make, but I'm more than pleased with the result. I can still see the time display just fine, but now my room is a happy cave! Some commenters argue you could get the same effect using electrical tape, regular tape covered in Sharpie, etc., but true to the name of these products if you're looking for something to DIM, then this is for you. Also the product is easy to remove and doesn't leave a sticky residue at all, which can't be said for most tapes. I did notice a slight lag in response when I covered my TV LED sensor, so if you're trying to block something that actually senses inputs I would maybe not suggest this. Other than that, excellent product!" —Logan MxPrice: $4.49 An eyelash comb that's the secret to having long, luscious, clump-free lashes (instead of having lashes that are stuck together and rain down tiny flakes of mascara on your cheeks all the live-long day). A Coop Home Goods adjustable pillow for anyone who wakes up with their neck stiff, and stuck in a position that defies logic and perhaps even physics. This pillow comes with shredded memory foam that you can add or remove from the pillow, to make it exactly as soft or firm as you like. Neck pain when you wake up isn't a part of getting older! It's just part of having a bad pillow. A pre-swim hair cream that is crucial for solving "pool hair". If you want to enjoy your chlorinated fun without worrying that your hair is going to become dry, brittle, frizzy (or, for some especially lucky folks, GREEN), apply a little bit of this cream throughout your locks before you do your first cannonball. A Waterpik Aquarius flosser because if you've never been good at keeping up a flossing habit ( gross, sorry), this might be the solution. With its automatic timers and rotating tip, it practically does all the work for is probably the only way you're actually gonna floss. Promising review: "The Waterpik is a reliable well-made product. I have many caps on my teeth and it is difficult to floss around and in between the caps. I usually have a bad report from my dentist when I go for cleanings. I've been using this since I bought it and when I went to the dentist, the dentist said that I've finally cleaned my teeth adjustable settings and multiple pick types make this a great option to clean a variety of dental fixture types. I have had this unit for a long time and it still works the same as I did when I first got it. This has been the been one the the best purchases that I have made! It will really change your oral health! I highly recommend the Waterpik!" —stPrice: $59.99+ (available in four colors) A sport-brella that will put all your other sun umbrellas to shame. It offers SPF 50+ protection, has a unique uneven design that will actually block the sun as it moves through the sky, and can be locked in at an adjustable angle, so you don't have to totally change your outdoor set up every 45 minutes to run from Mr. Sun. Promising review: "I got this umbrella to clip onto my stroller for Disneyland days, and it's been a total game changer! It provides great shade for both me and my kid, especially during long lines or mid-day sun. The adjustable arm makes it super easy to move and angle depending on where the sun is, and it stays in place even with a little wind. It clips securely to our stroller, backpack, or even a chair, and folds down compactly when not in use. On hot days, this thing is essential — I don't know how we did theme parks without it before! Highly recommend for parents, outdoor events, or anyone who needs portable shade without hassle!" —ARaePrice: $26.59+ (available in two sizes and nine colors and patterns) A multi-surface touch up paint pen so you don't need to do a whole re-paint job just to fix that one corner that got scuffed. Fill the clear plastic pen with just a little of your paint and get that busted-up area looking as good as new. Promising review: "I keep these in my kitchen drawer and it's SO convenient for my painted cabinets! I moved into a house with older wood cabinets, and because it's such a small kitchen I knew that painting the cabinets white (actually went with cream!) would make it feel so much larger! I LOVE the way they look, but inevitably (even though I sanded and prepped), I'll get little chips in the paint. These touch up pens stay in my junk drawer full of paint at all times. The cap makes it so it never dries out and stays super clean. But I'm able to grab them any time and just touch things up so my cabinets ALWAYS look fresh." —Claire FloresPrice: $12.99+ (available in 2- and 5-packs). A six-pack of Hanes Ultimate ankle socks because you always, always need some more plain, comfy ankle socks. I don't know what happened to your old ones, but you need to admit it, move on, and buy these. A bottle of drywall repair putty so you no longer have to live with the evidence of that time you were "actually pretty sure" you knew how to properly install a wall-mounted TV. (Narrator: She was not actually pretty sure, and she made a big ol' hole.) Promising review: "Does exactly what it says. Rather than getting spackle, waiting for it to dry, sanding it down, and tweaking as needed — this cuts the time/effort down! Just rub over the place in need of patching and wipe off the excess. The hardest part is not accidentally getting the product on parts of the wall that don't need it, but that's easy to clean up, so it's not a problem. I used this to patch holes in the wall from a former Wi-Fi router and modem, other than the color difference from the patch to the paint, you'd never know it was patched. Great price, easy to use." —AmandaPrice: $14.89+ (available in a one-or two-pack) A set of bedsheet detanglers for anyone who has lived the heartbreak of taking a fitted sheet out of the dryer, only to find that it has curled into a horrible, wet little ball. Snap these on before drying and at the cycle's end, get a sheet that's ready to actually be used. A WD-40 pen because using the big, traditional bottle can be messy, intimidating, and also literally impossible if you're navigating a tight space. This pen eliminates all those problems — and that squeak in your door hinge that's been the bane of your existence. An easy-to-use ear-washing bottle for anyone who'd like to take their ear-cleaning game to the next level. Use the tube to gently flush your ears, and get ready for a new, wax-free maybe don't look at what comes out, ugh. An alcohol-free oral rinse that won't burn your gums, and keeps breath fresh for up to 12 hours. Imagine how much time you'll free up in your day, now that you no longer have to do that thing where you breathe into your hand and try to smell your own breath. A memory foam orthopedic pain relief seat cushion because your 10-hour work days are not kind to your bottom. So do your bum a favor — after all, it does so much for you! — and park it on this for a while to help with your sciatica, tailbone, and back pain. Promising review: "I work from home and have been through many different cushions trying to find a good one and this is IT!! It is so comfortable and actually stays a pillow and does not flatten when you sit like most. Highly recommend!!!" —LPPrice: $49.99+ (available in seven colors) An ultra-thin electrical cover that's perfect for tight spaces where the builders of your home stuck an outlet, for some extremely mysterious reason. Just plug the flat cover into any outlet, and use the attached power strip to actually plug in your electronics, for once. Promising review: "The design of this is great. I always hated putting plugs behind furniture and either not using the plug, or the furniture being inches away from the wall. This is the perfect solution. I have a few of these now behind couches and dressers in the house and they are great. This is more expensive than some other flat extension cords but I think the look and quality of these is worth it." —Adam $21.95+ (available in three lengths and two styles) A bed-making mattress-lifting tool for anyone who's ever wondered, "Why do they create fitted sheets that are impossible to actually get onto your bed? Is this all just a prank, created by intergalactic aliens who are laughing at us right now?" I can't answer that question. But I can tell you, this handy plastic tool will help you lift your mattress corners up easily, allowing you to finally get a good tuck going with your sheets. Take that, aliens! Promising review: "It works exactly as described. I am able to fit it under the mattress and lift it with no struggle. Then, I can take my time to set the fitted sheets. I have been complaining for years about the heavy mattresses and this tool is exactly what I was searching for. I would recommend it to all my friends." —Amazon CustomerPrice: $19.99+ (available in one or two packs) A can of fire extinguishing spray that's easier to use (and carry) than a traditional fire extinguisher — just spray it like can of deodorizer or hair spray. It'll be easier to use in a moment of crisis, when every second counts. A stand-up weed puller tool to save your knees and back from needless pain this summer gardening season. Forget crawling around, digging up weeds by hand — just insert the tool into the dirt above the weed, tilt it, and let its stainless steel claws do their thing. Who knew that getting all those pesky dandelions out of your lawn could be as easy as there?? Promising review: "This tool saved my back! Our weeds were wild this year, and the Fiskars weed puller made tackling them so much easier. No more bending over or digging with my hands — I could just step, twist, and pull. It grips weeds (even the stubborn ones) really well, and I love that it's super easy to use and gentle on my body. Definitely one of the best garden tools I've bought. If you've got a weedy yard and a sore back, this thing is a game changer!" —Kayla BrannonPrice: $48.98 A portable, rechargeable mini-fan that runs for 12+ hours on a single it's a it's a power bank that you'll be grateful for when your phone dies while you're smack in the middle of some summer travel. It's so versatile that, dare I say, it is the Meryl Streep of portable cooling devices. Promising review: "This fan has been an absolute lifesaver. I've now used it for two concerts, four flights, and an outdoor event in 90-degree heat. I will never again travel without it! It's lightweight and has a strap to keep track of it easily. There are two speeds but I always use the faster one and it works well (I think it could do to have one more but I'm not really bothered). The battery lasts for a really long time (days of nearly constant use). Plus, it's a super cute, pretty pink color, and looks like a bear. It folds up nicely and stores easily. It also seems really durable (I've dropped it many times and it's still going strong). I LOVE this little fan." —Jordyn DawnPrice: $15.29+ (available in six colors) A battery-operated Conair fabric shaver to revive your pilliest sweater, your lintiest couch, and that one skirt that looks so cute in front, but has fuzz all over the back. No need to toss 'em out — after just a few minutes of shaving, no one will know you've owned that cardigan since Gossip Girl was on the air. Promising review: "Wow! I've been thinking about getting one of these for a while but I was skeptical it would work. Went ahead and took a chance when it was on sale for Prime Day. And I'm blown away at how well it works! I spent about five minutes going over the fabric on a recliner chair that had been getting quite pilled, and it looks brand new! Next up, the couch!" —AlicePrice: $14.69 A portable, clip-on sound machine that you can take anywhere your baby needs some soothing vibes. The tiny sonic dynamo has four sounds and multiple automatic turn-off options —aka enough to soothe the fussiest sleeper, and finally get you a few moments of peace and quiet, no matter where you are. Promising review: "I bought this for my son in 2020, and we used this thing every flipping where. It has been so useful for home and travel. We got more than our money's worth out of it and then recently passed it on to my sister who had a baby. Definitely would buy again." —Lynette JPrice: $13.97 A portable tire pump with a pressure gauge, so you never again have to worry about getting a flat tire in the middle of the the middle of a place where your phone gets zero I go on? This tool will check your tire's pressure easily and quickly inflate it, so you can get back on the road faster (instead of trying to remember exactly where the last gas station you saw was). Promising review: "This little machine has saved my wife on numerous occasions. (She has the worst luck with leaking tires). It's light, small, and fills up a flat tire pretty quickly. Has a digital display to see what the PSI is and you can even set it to auto stop once it reaches a certain PSI level. Have been using for a few years now so if you treat it right it will last a long time. I didnt think it would be such a worthy product at such a low price, but I have since been pleasantly surprised." —Kevin BlanchardPrice: $29.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors) A set of Scrub Daddy sponges that are the answer to your prayers (your dish-washing-related prayers, anyway). These friendly scrubbers deep clean without scratching, and don't become stinkified after a few uses, unlike so many other sponges. Plus, they have two textures — soft in warm water, and firm in cold! Promising review: "Scrub Daddy is hands down a game changer in my cleaning routine! I love how it stays firm in cold water for tough scrubbing but softens up in warm water for gentler jobs. It never scratches my pans, yet it gets rid of stuck-on messes with ease. Plus, it doesn't get gross or smelly like regular sponges. It even rinses clean and dries fast! I've tried a lot of cleaning products, but this one actually lives up to the hype. I won't use anything else!" —IrvingPrice: $9.98+ (available in three color collections and sets of three, five, seven and nine) A HEPA air purifier with three-stage filtration, so you will finally have a buddy on your side in your war against pollen, allergens, and other airborne yuckiness. It monitors air quality levels throughout the day, giving you updates and adjusting its filtration process, so you'll never get caught off-guard by a sudden change in the air around you. Promising review: "We live in southern California, and my partner has terrible allergies! Come spring, it's six straight months of red, watery, itchy eyes and discomfort. Could we leave California? Sure! But we each choose our hard. To make things a little easier, we ordered this air purifier to help with the particulates and allergens and just to make air quality all around a little better, even when the world is on fire around us. The air purifier is incredibly easy to set up out of the box with easy-to-follow instructions. It has multiple settings to adapt to your particular needs, and auto-indicating lights to help you quickly understand air quality or when your filters need a quick change. The auto setting is great, when I am cooking, you can hear it working overtime. Bonus: My house doesn't smell like fish for days after I decide to cook it. The filters are high quality and keep our home air a little fresher than before. Also, it looks great! With two colors, it blends into the decor without looking like the typical eyesore. Highly recommend Coway Airmega to keep your family's breathing easy." —VivPrice: $174.99+ (available in three options) A tube of wooden scratch cover that goes on colorless, so there's no need to try to match specific shades to your furniture or floor — just apply, let it dry, and watch shallow scratches go bye-bye. Promising review: "I rarely write reviews but felt I needed to for this product. I have real hardwood floors and started using this where I have scratches and little nicks here and there. I am completely amazed at how well this works! I can't even find the marks after I use it on them. As a super fussy person, I highly recommend this!" —Sfry233Price: $12.99+ (available in one and two packs) A multi-use scraping tool, because we all have a mirror or dresser that would look perfect exxxxxxxxcept for that sticker stuck to it — you know, the one you tried to remove with your fingernails, which only resulted in a gummy mess. This narrow, pointed tool gets right under sticker residue — as well as baked-on food grease, random grime on your car, and dust that's collected in that weird little crevice on your window. Promising review: "This item is so handy, I wish I had found it sooner. I bought it to scrape off labels but I have used it for many other things. It scrapes well and does not scratch the item. It's sturdy, so it doesn't bend or break with effort. For the stickier labels, I heat them with my blowdryer, then use this to scrape them off. It works like a charm. I initially wondered what I would do with several of these, but I have them stashed in several rooms since I've found them so useful." —KatmandontPrice: $11.99+ (available in a two or five pack) A pair of rechargeable wireless motion sensor lights that are ready to mount directly to your cabinets or walls, no installation tools needed — just use the built-in magnets, or the provided adhesive tape, and get ready to finally be able to actually see the floor when you get up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. Promising review: "It is well designed with many usable features: 1) Magnetic mount with supplied base plates. Easy to take off for a recharge. 2) Three modes: on, off, auto. In auto mode, the light turns on when motion is detected AND when ambient light is low. 3) I use it as a night light that turns on when somebody walks by at night. In this application, the battery lasts for more than six months and takes less than 30 minutes to recharge. 4) Adjustable brightness. The highest setting is enough to illuminate a big room (e.g., 20 feet by 20 feet)." —Frank $16.99+ (available in two sizes and two shades of light) A Bissell Cleanview XR Pet vacuum, because it's specially designed to help you deal with your furriest, stinkest loved ones. No, not Uncle Petey — your dogs and cats. This cordless vac doesn't just clean; it has a special furbrush feature that specifically helps lift the roughly 10,000 pounds of hair that our pets seem to shed every single week. Promising review: "I love this vacuum! It's summer time and my blue heeler is shedding his undercoat. I have to vacuum every day and this vacuum is so easy to use. I love all the attachments for cleaning the furniture, rugs, bed, tight corners, does it all! I really like how the canister empties too, on a tilt, so you don't have to disassemble the entire attachment to empty the canister, it just clicks out and back in very easily. I have a 4-month-old baby too, and this vacuum is so lightweight that I can hold my baby on my hip and clean at the same time. It's also a really nice feature that this vacuum comes with a wall assembly to store it when not in use. I already had one so I'm not using it... this was a replacement vacuum for another similar type, I'm so happy I switched brands to this one because it's just sooooo much better!! Also, the fact that it charges with a lithium battery pack vs. a plug-in cord is also preferred. Don't hesitate to buy this if you're drowning in dog hair! This vacuum is the best!!" —MegPrice: $157.49 (also available in four other options) A booster fan that's designed to give your HVAC system a lil' help. Just pop this into a register hole, and let the fan's 10 speeds increase your airflow, helping the warm/ cold air get out and and about where it needs to be — right by your burning hot/ freezing cold self. Promising review: "This supplemental vent was definitely a great investment. Bought it May 2024 and it is still going strong July 2025. The app was easy to install and navigate. No hidden fees or anything like that. I like that it is flush and smooth to the floor, also has a nice look to it. The fan can get pretty loud if you set it to max setting. The app itself is Bluetooth connected to your phone and very simple, as in the settings can be changed anytime, very easy to set to kick on around the time your AC or furnace turns on. I also feel like it does a great job 'pulling' that remaining heat in the winter and cool air in the summertime from our vent systems after each session. (I have it set to run a little longer once my AC/Heat kicks off for that purpose). We use it in our living room, the room I feel is most difficult to keep warm/cool. Would highly recommend if you have a room or areas that could use a 'boost' in temp control." —JasonKim LebedaPrice: $59.99 (available in two colors and two sizes)

10 Things To Buy From Dollar Tree After Getting Your Tax Refund
You got the extra cash from your tax refund, and it's a few thousand short of taking that Caribbean vacation you've been planning. So what's next?
