35 Summery Hidden Gems On Amazon
A useful waterproof baby carrier if you'd appreciate having your hands free when you take your little one in the pool. It's made of a fast-drying neoprene material (think surf suits) and has soft, padded straps. A pair of sockless shoe liners because the return of the sun also means the return of stinky, sweaty feet. Bleh! Sometimes, you don't want or need a layer of socks, and that's where these washable and absorbent shoe liners come in handy! A Sol de Janeiro shimmering body oil with SPF 50 for a dazzling glow without the white cast or the greasy feel — because my sweat glands are already in overdrive the minute temps rise above 80 degrees. And it's Sol de Janeiro, so you know it smells amazing. Duh! A lavender-scented Downy laundry odor remover to really get into the fibers of your clothing and linens to remove odor-causing residue. If you're sweating up a storm in the warmer months or stinking up your clothes in front of a campfire (worth it for the s'mores, tho!), you'll wanna keep this on hand. An office chair blanket that'll create a cocoon of warmth (and it's strapped to the chair so it won't fall off), so you can focus on your work instead of cursing the office manager every 10 minutes because they're absolutely blasting the AC. A mesh V-neck one-piece so stunning and surprisingly comfortable that you'll find any and every excuse to wear it. A pre-swim hair cream if you plan to spend the next few months in your pool but don't want your mane to look like a dry, tangled mess. This cream protects your tresses from chlorine and can help prevent blonde hair from turning green. A car seat cover because the inside of your car — and your kiddos' black plastic car seat — can reach scorching hot temps. This works like a windshield sunshade, deflecting the sun's rays to keep the car seat (on average) 26 degrees cooler. And since we're talking about things to help keep your car cooler in the summer: The Noggle, a personal air-conditioning system for cars with weak ACs that won't reach the backseat or cars that don't have vents in the back. Reviewers say it's great for kids and pets! A roll-on sunscreen sponge to make the always messy (why is it so messy?!) task of applying sunscreen a heck of a lot better. With this little tool, your hands will stay clean (no more greasy hands!), and the sponge will prevent too much sunscreen from coming out = less product wasted. A beach towel with built-in sun protection that'll block 98% of the sun's rays, doing a much better job of shielding your skin from the sun than a regular beach towel when you're a toasty towel burrito post swim. It dries quickly and is designed to shed sand with just a few shakes. And speaking of sun protection, a moisturizing doggie sunscreen with SPF 30 so your four-legged friend, who ofc loves sun-bathing when it's 95 degrees, has some defense against the sun's rays. A pack of towel bands if you didn't plan to spend your vacation chasing your towel down the beach or the pool deck after the wind blows it away. Reviewers say they take up less space in your bag and do a better job holding down your towel than bulky clips. A Hershey's s'mores caddy because no summer day is complete without an ooey-gooey campfire s'more. This tackle box has room for all the essentials: graham crackers, marshmallows, chocolate, and roasting sticks. A pair of fabric strap swim goggles (from Shark Tank!) for kids and adults who are sick of regular old goggles snagging, pulling, and tangling your hair. The wide, stretchy strap is designed to be more comfortable and sit more securely so your little one's not constantly readjusting it. A hair-identifier spray to make your monthly dermaplaning session as pain-free as possible. Now, you can be sure you're shaving all the peach fuzz to make makeup application smoother and reveal that summery glow. And reviewers say the spray helps the razor glide more smoothly. A pack of underarm shields that'll soak up sweat before it can stain your shirt. They're also designed to stop odors so you don't look *or* smell like you just sweat through your shirt. A rechargeable mini air pump so something as minor as the lack of an outlet doesn't stop you from inflating a pool, pool toys, an air mattress, or a splash pad. You can even pack it in a suitcase to deflate compression bags. A beach cart if you're tired of schlepping heavy bags filled with beach toys, food, towels, tents, beach chairs, and whatever else your family hands you. This roomy cart has balloon wheels so it can roll over sand. A sand remover mitt because leaving the beach with sand crumbs in every crevice of your body — and all over the car carpets — isn't a summer annoyance you need to put up with anymore. A true beach bag essential! A pack of light-blocking strips for eliminating the pesky light leakage that happens around the edges of the blinds, even blackout blinds. They attach via magnets, so installation and removal is easy peasy lemon squeezy. Just as easy as falling asleep during a bright summer day or sleeping in even when the summer sun rises at 5:30 a.m. A pair of quick-dry UPF 50 hiking pants to accompany you on all your outdoor adventures this summer: hiking, fishing, climbing, and more. They're so comfy and practical thanks to a plethora of pockets that they may become your new fave travel pant, too! Twister Splash, an updated version of everyone's favorite body-contorting game that'll shoot water at you unless you can cover the hole with your hands or feet. A pack of disposable paper bibs so you're always prepared when you're out of the house this summer. With three layers of protection and an adhesive tab so you can keep the bib attached to their clothes *plus* a built-in crumb catcher, these bibs will make impromptu park lunches, playdates, meals out, and arts and crafts time much less messy. Laneige's Neo Blurring Powder — a skin-smoothing, pore-blurring, ultra-fine powder if your skin is oily, oily, oily. This semi-matte powder absorbs the shine but leaves your ~glow~ untouched without feeling dry or cakey on your skin. A cut-to-size aloe wrap because warm weather means you're bound to have at least one really bad sunburn, no matter how hard you try to be diligent about sunscreen application. A stylishly oversized romper with deep pockets for satisfying the two little voices in your head: the one that demands comfort at all times, and the one that says, "New season, new seasonal wardrobe!" A durable and portable foldable flip seat to spare your tushy the pain and the wet butt stains that come with sitting on the ground. Use it at the beach, the pool, a tailgate, a camping trip, a sporting event, or an outdoor picnic and bask in the newfound superiority complex that comes with owning one of these seats. Some dog-friendly ice pops — ice ~pups~ if you will — that your furry friend can enjoy whole. Yep, stick and all! This is a great summertime activity to both stimulate their brain and keep 'em cool. Or a freezeable dog bone treat mold with a special design that grips the floor so your pooch can't nose it under the couch where it collects dirt and A bug bite relief patch if your poor littles get absolutely devoured by mosquitoes every year. These kid-safe patches are infused with witch hazel and aloe to soothe itchy bites and prevent kids from scratching. A laptop tent because this is how your email finds me: poolside, enjoying the weather, trying to do as little work as possible before 5 p.m. rolls around. If my boss is reading this, that was a JOKE. But really, if you want to work outside, this handy tent will reduce glare from the sun, help keep your machine cool so it doesn't overheat, and then folds down into a lightweight carrying case when the workday is over. A "Cup Claw" — a bra pad removal tool for expertly removing the padding from sports bras and bikinis. Aaaaaaand it makes reinserting the padding evenly so much easier. (Because why are the slots for the padding always the size of my pinky nail??) A clear beach tote to handle all your needs so you can seriously relax. It's designed to sit upright and not fall over on the sand. There's a touchscreen phone pouch included so you can order a frozen daiquiri to your lounger even if your fingers are dripping wet. It's waterproof, washable, has adorable bow straps, is carry-on approved, and can hold several full-size beach towels. A moisture-wicking headband that's meant to be worn under a riding or biking helmet. It'll absorb sweat so it doesn't drip down your face (a sensory nightmare!) while also protecting your hair from damaging friction caused by the helmet rubbing. Oh — it'll even hold your earbuds in place!

32 Productive Things To Help You Avoid Ever Working *Too* Hard
An undetectable mouse jiggler for anyone with a micromanager who's a little too invested in your online status. This will make it seem like you're active while you take a much-needed break. Zep foaming wall cleaner to tackle dirt, scuffs, and crayon masterpieces that are, unfortunately, on the wrong canvas. The foam clings to walls and works to break down fingerprints, grease, wax, makeup, and more without harming your paint or requiring much scrubbing. A jewelry cleaning pen you can count on to add new shine to your gems; no costly trip to the jeweler required. As someone who refuses to take off rings before washing dishes, showering, etc., I need this! A closet organizer *and* shirt folder that will finally address your — quite frankly — alarming dresser. Instead of balled-up tees crammed into drawers, you can enjoy neatly folded T-shirts that are easy to flip through. A pack of Spin Pins you can use to keep your hair firmly in place, saving you from constantly readjusting or fighting flyaways. A bagless, touchless stationary vacuum for anyone who wants to feel like a member of the Jetsons. While it won't clean your whole home like Rosey, it'll act as a super effective replacement for a dust pan. Just sweep dirt over to the machine, and it'll suck it right up. A Conair handheld steamer that I personally swear by for turning wrinkly balls of fabric back into the pristine garments they were before you left them in the bottom of your closet. It heats up quickly and removes wrinkles in minutes. And you really can't beat the price for how effective it is. Or if you wanna be really speedy, a bottle of Downy wrinkle release spray you can just spray on and watch the wrinkles magically vamoose. A game-changing veggie chopper that will make quick work of your prep. Just add your veggies, slam down the lid, enjoy freshly chopped produce, and then throw the device in the dishwasher when you're done. Now you'll be crying tears of joy instead of tears from onion cutting. A box of Color Catcher sheets to prevent the dreaded "all my clothes are now pink from this one stray red sock" debacle. These handy sheets are designed to grab any dye that leaks or bleeds so you can keep enjoying your white tees even if you're not sorting clothes into lights and darks.

It's also waayy easier to clean — best not dwell on the trauma of trying to fit a sponge into one of those things. 😬 A pack of disposable shower hair catchers for people who often forget to clean the drain after a shower and too squeamish to maintain a device like the TubShroom. You can just close your eyes and throw these away when they're too hair-infested. A batter dispenser you can use to make perfect pancakes and cupcakes every 👏 single 👏 time 👏. Gone are the days of using a measuring cup and dripping batter all over your stovetop. Now you can focus on the fun part: decorating! Who wants a lopsided Mickey Mouse? A dog paw-cleaning device to keep Spot's feet squeaky clean, because you can't exactly put hand sanitizer on a dog. (Seriously, do not do that.) Fill the tube up with soapy water and let the soft bristles scrub away the day's walk. A WD-40 pen that provides all the same benefits as the spray can (quieting squeaks, lubricating hinges, preventing rust, etc.) but now with an easy-to-maneuver, precise pen tip. You could just walk around your home, touching up every hinge you see! A nonscratch dish wand with a hollow handle you can fill with dish soap and vinegar so you can tackle your dishes or surfaces without wasting even a millisecond to re-soap your sponge. Let's get this DONE! A no-rinse soap that removes an entire step from hand-washing your clothes, making the whole process easier and faster. Just soak, squeeze, and dry flat! Slow cooker liners so you don't have to yank the heavy pot out of the cooker to clean it. You can also use the heat-resistant liners to make two soups at once. Bags! Gotta love 'em. Or oil-proof paper air fryer liners because I know you've been ignoring those burnt crumbs and french fry grease, hoping some enterprising elves might take care of it. Sadly, they're all busy baking cookies and mending shoes, but you can at least avoid future cleaning with the magic of disposable liners. A self-cleaning litter box you can even control from your smartphone — sitting on the couch has never been so productive. It scoops the unmentionables into a separate compartment that you can throw away at your leisure. A silicone freezing tray that lets you section your leftover soups into perfect frozen portions so you don't have to defrost your entire vat of black beans every time you want a single serving. A sweet little fish who swims around in your humidifier tank, inhibiting the growth of buildup for up to 30 days. Now you can go longer between washes and maybe avoid the dreaded brown sludge that appears in some humidifiers. A set of drill brushes so effective, you'll be shocked how clean your bathroom used to be. Why spend the energy scrubbing when pressing a drill button will do the trick? It's so important to delegate. A SwitchBot Smart Switch Button Pusher that works with rocker switches and one-way buttons, meaning almost anything can be turned into a smart device. Once you set it up, you'll be able to use Google, Alexa, or an app on your phone to turn things on and off, meaning you'll be living in an IRL version of Smart House. A smart house that makes hanging out fun and doesn't imprison you, of course. A rust-removing gel spray – you may be tempted to say "abracadabra" as you use it. It's that magical! The powerful gel clings to rust on contact, so you can watch stains start melting off your tiles immediately; no scrubbing needed. Luigi's Sink and Drain Plunger that works as your personal plumber to pull up hair, food debris, and other gross stuff lurking in your pipes. The plunger works on any drain small enough to be fully covered, and the flexible bellow is as much as 10 times more effective than a regular rubber cup plunger. Mama mia! This thing is useful. A jalapeno corer so you can get rid of unwanted seeds in a flash and minimize the risk of slicing your hand open. Just insert, twist, scoop, and marvel at a bright future filled with endless jalapeno poppers. Garbage disposal cleaner that's not only easy to use, but also very entertaining. Run some hot water, pop one of the packets in your disposer, let it foam, then wait for the foam to fully disappear, and bam! You can admire your lemony fresh drain that was basically cleaned for you. A Roomba robot vacuum because if robots are going to take our jobs, it might as well be the worst ones. It'll clean your floors *and* it even works with Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can use voice control! You might as well call this device Rosey because this is Jetsons-level tech. A breakfast sandwich maker that cooks every part of the sandwich at once and then neatly stacks them together so you can skip the line at your local deli. Those $8 charges are starting to add up, after all. A set of paint touch-up pens for when you start to notice scuffs on your walls but don't want to commit to a full paint job. Just fill the pens up with paint, and you can forgo the whole roller brush entirely. This is also ideal for hiding any oopsies from your landlord when they do a walkthrough, looking for excuses to keep your security deposit.

A cruelty-free under-eye brightener to effortlessly conceal dark circles since you haven't gotten enough sleep in *checks watch* about a decade. The color-adapting formula is creamy and lightweight, so you don't have to worry about unwanted creasing and cakiness, either. A pack of Downy fabric spray so you can rock wrinkle-free fits even when there's no time (or energy) to break out the iron. Just spray, give your clothes a few swipes, and watch the wrinkles rapidly fall away. Clinique Almost Lipstick tinted lip balm since it's *the* perfect lip and cheek tint for when you need to pull your look together and you're already running late. The two shades work with seemingly every skin tone and outfit, feel lightweight, and are buildable for nailing a range of looks. A set of fridge organizers because the perpetually chaotic nature of your fridge makes it a little too easy to forget what's in there, resulting in spoiled food and wasted money. A patented pet hair remover if you're tired of leaving the house covered in Fido's hair *and* spending too much money on disposable lint rollers. This uses bristles, not sticky tape, to catch lint meaning you can clean and reuse it over and over and over again. A durable honeycomb drawer that'll eliminate the full-scale drawer excavation you perform every time you're looking for a specific scarf, tie, or pair of underwear.

With this pen you can get quick results. And the best part? No lingering sensitivity. A bleach-free Wet & Forget shower cleaner to not only clean but prevent soap scum buildup with minimal effort. Once a week, simply give your shower a spray, let it sit overnight, rinse, and — BOOM — you're done and didn't even break a sweat.

If you use a CPAP machine or get dried out on long-haul flights, I'd add this to cart STAT. A coconut-scented nail strengthening cream if you hate deciding between eye-popping manicure prices or sporting short, brittle nails that are constantly chipping. Fortunately, there's a third option! This non-greasy formula is packed with calcium, moisturizing oils, and vitamins to strengthen nails and condition cuticles. A food container lid organizer with five adjustable dividers that'll house all your square and round lids in one spot so no one ever again has to ask "Where's the lid for this?"

Sure, you'd likely pay more for such quick results, but we're more than happy not to! A non-aerosol dry shampoo powder packed in a travel-friendly compact to prolong wash day and revive greasy locks so you can basically roll right out of bed and into the office and STILL have coworkers complimenting your fabulous hair. A versatile chop, slice, and dice unit so you can drastically *cut* down on food prep and cleanup time with interchangeable blades that can each be popped into the dishwasher. You've been around long enough to know you never want to chop an onion by hand again. A pair of reusable silicone nipple covers for ultra discreet coverage that's totally waterproof, so you can skip the bra without fear of a nip slip even if you're on the dance floor busting moves and sweating up a storm. A powerful Eufy robot vacuum if you want clean floors without ever having to lift a finger. It's got one impressive battery life and is so quiet you'll look up from your work only to realize the floors are cleaner than when you sat down. It's like hiring a cleaning person with 24/7 access. A subtle nail concealer that adds a semi-sheer, buildable wash of color to easily mask any uneven discoloration or ridges.

The included lids make these trays stackable, so freezer organization is a breeze even if you're short on space. A pack of duster sponges designed with curved ridges for actually picking up dirt, dust, and hair on the first swipe instead of just moving it around. When you're done, give it a rinse, let it dry, and it'll be ready for another round. A double-layer cat litter-trapping mat if you're tired of constantly getting litter stuck to your feet. The water-resistant mat features a honeycomb design that traps litter between layers so you can dump it back into your bin later. An easy-to-use denture cleaner that you simply plop in warm water with your dentures for a stain-fighting, odor-busting clean that'll make you wanna show off that million-dollar smile. An air-dry leave-in cream for getting touchable, crunch-free curls and enjoying less frizz without getting the blow-dryer or other heat-styling tools involved.
