35 Products To Buy For Your Upcoming Summer Travels
A portable digital luggage scale because the year is 2025, and it's time we put an end to that gut-wrenching moment the airline counter tells you your suitcase is a few pounds over the weight limit. Being forced to transfer your things from your suitcase into your carry-on in the middle of the terminal for everyone to see is dreadful. A set of Tide sink packs if you have a goal to pack less and re-wear more of the items you're bringing. These will make it so simple to do so. No washing machine required! A clinical strength deodorant that boasts up to 72 hours of sweat protection from stress, heat, and activity. If you feel like you'll constantly need to freshen up your pits on vacation, this might just be the product for you. A sundome 6-person tent you only need 10 minutes to set up, so you can spend more time enjoying the great outdoors during your summer camping trips and less time stressing about a bunch of confusing tent parts. A reviewer-loved SPF 30 spray sunscreen that'll provide an easy way to apply some sun protection before trotting off to an adventure-filled day of fun. Or Black Girl Sunscreen! This moisturizing SPF 30 broad-spectrum sunscreen is crafted for people of color. Its lightweight formula contains ingredients like avocado, jojoba, cacao, carrot juice, and sunflower oil to soothe, protect, hydrate, and heal skin, all without leaving behind a white residue. And while we're on the subject of sunscreen, you should also grab a pack of UV-detection stickers that'll alert you (aka turn purple) when it's time to reapply sunscreen. Because let's be real — when you're having a fun time at the beach or water park, it's easy to forget to reapply, and going back to your hotel room with a painful sunburn is not so slay. An aloe and coconut oil after-sun soothing cream because summer vacays = spending more time outside and increased risk of burns. Listen, I trust that you'll be smart and protect yourself from Mr. Golden Sun, but inevitable happens. This stuff will help hydrate your skin afterward and leave it feeling refreshed, moisturized, and itch-free post-burn. A compact pill organizer complete with six compartments for keeping your medications separate and preventing you from having to pack multiple pill containers. A carry-on case designed to comfortably fit under your seat. Sure, you might be lucky enough to have plenty of room in the overhead bin, but there's just something really humbling about having to fight your way out of your row and into the aisle just for everyone behind you to watch you have a wrestling match with your carry-on. We're leaving those days behind thanks to this genius invention. A travel belt that'll help free up a hand or some weight on your shoulder by allowing you to clip your personal bag to your suitcase and/or carry-on. Where has this been all my travel life?! A mini flat iron for anyone who knows the struggle of packing hot tools in a bag with very limited space. This handy gadget is smol, efficient, and just perfect for your travel needs. Packing light shouldn't mean having to settle for only styling your hair with the hotel blow-dryer. An ultra-supportive neck pillow to make the whole "falling asleep while sitting upright" thing possible (and comfy). Is there any better way to pass the time on a plane than with a nice, long nap? I don't think so. A universal travel adapter you're gonna be grateful for if your travels involve hopping to various countries that all use different outlets. Now, you won't need to buy and pack different adapters for each country you plan on visiting. Phew! A wallet designed to hold all of your important travel documents because every time you're at the airport you swear you'll have your license, passport, and boarding pass easily ready to show and every time you're at the airport you end up fumbling all of those things and holding up the line. A vibrant bikini that'll have you apologizing to all of the other swimsuits you own because once you get this bb in the mail, it's the only one you'll wanna pack and wear on your upcoming trips. A pair of slide sandals to make you feel like you're walking on clouds — whether you pair 'em with socks for your airport fit or wear them on their own as you head to the pool. The question isn't whether you should buy these or not; the question is which colors you should buy them in. Answer: All of them. An acupressure anti-nausea wristband that claims to ward off motion sickness and nausea, minus the drowsiness side effect found in most nausea medications. Summertime roadtrips and cruises have met their match. A pack of mosquito-repellent bracelets because those little blood-munchers are NOT welcome on your summer getaway, and their itchy bites aren't the souvenirs you'd like to bring home. And the last thing you wanna do before a day of fun is apply sticky bug spray all over your skin. A luggage caddy so making a pit stop at the airport coffee shop for a caramel latte and a breakfast sandwich doesn't mean having to juggle your food/drink on the way to your gate. An anti-blister balm to apply before putting on your shoes so you can prevent those painful annoyances from even trying to happen. Whether you're walking miles at a cruise excursion or dashing from tourist attraction to tourist attraction, your feet will be happy you prepped them ahead of time. An amazing sports bra featuring moisture-wicking material and removable cups that'll be an instant addition to your summer travel ensemble. Ahhh, we love an undergarment that's designed to handle sweat. A sand-removal bag to make cleaning yourself off after a beach day v quick and easy! Now, of course, getting sand all over yourself is inevitable and not embarrassing. Do you know what IS embarrassing? Finding little grains of sand hidden in crevices around your car months after beach season has already concluded!!! The absolute mess!!! A phone mount so you can watch your favorite downloaded shows/movies on your flight — because sometimes the airline doesn't offer your comfort characters on their entertainment menu or no television at all. A pair of compression socks for potentially bringing sweet relief to feet that tend to swell during air travel. An AirFly Pro wireless transmitter so you can connect your wireless earbuds to the airplane entertainment system. Watching your favorite shows/movies with clear sound is a heck of a lot better than the static that comes with the junk headphones the airline tries to sell you. Plus, a pair of wireless earbuds with a cult following to make listening to your music, audiobooks, shows, and movies nice and crisp. These are waterproof, come with multiple silicone earbuds so you can find your perfect size, and happen to be just as good as more expensive headphones on the market at a fraction of the cost (*cough AirPods cough*). A waterproof phone pouch you'll wanna keep on hand in case you're planning on bringing your phone to water-themed excursions OR if it starts raining during your trip. Having to replace your phone post-vacay would be a real downer, wouldn't it?! A portable neck fan to provide some sweet relief on the hottest of summer travel days. Not to mention how great it is that you don't even have to HOLD it! A dry shampoo powder you simply tap onto your roots, shake the excess powder out with your fingertips, style, and be on your merry way. SO easy! Not to mention, thanks to the fact that it's small and a powder (vs. an aerosol), it's easy to pack on trips and bring through TSA or toss in your bag to keep on hand for daytime excursions. A set of compression organizers for keeping clothing and undergarments neat and orderly in your suitcase, which may just leave you enough room to get that extra souvenir you probably wouldn't have had room for if you didn't own these babies. And a shoe bag capable of holding up to three pairs of footwear. Think of how much less clunky it'll be to place this compact cube in your luggage than to have to make space for three separate pairs of shoes. Don't even get me started on sand or dirt from the bottom of your shoes getting over all of your other belongings!!! A genius airplane window tray (if you're a window seat kind of traveler) that you can use to hold your drinks, headphones, etc., if you hate keeping the seat back tray down or want to use it for something else like setting up your laptop and playing The Sims 4. A pack of foldable hangers because the five hangers (if that?!) the hotel provides just aren't enough. You shouldn't have to risk getting your favorite blouse all wrinkled up because all the hangers are already being used to hold the dresses you brought. A set of water paint pads that'll keep any kiddos you're traveling with entertained and happy on the journey. Let's face it, bringing little ones on a vacay when you're already restless enough yourself is no easy feat.

Shopping · Bow-shaped claw clips, floral Band-Aids, espadrille slides, and so much more. 1. Belif Aqua Bomb SPF 45 sunscreen, a K-beauty must-have that'll protect your precious face from the sun's harsh rays while also helping it stay delightfully hydrated. Mr. Golden Sun can SIT DOWN this year — he's got nothing on your skincare game. Amazon Note: Based on the AAD Guidelines all sunscreens should have an SPF of at least 30 and protect against UVA and UVB rays. Promising review:"I absolutely love this stuff. It just feels so good on the skin, and getting to do a one-step skincare process on my ~I'm gonna be late~ mornings is FABULOUS. The first day I wore this, I had many compliments on my skin, which is not the norm for me. I'm an occasional, noticeable breakout babe. Even though I still had some discoloration from my latest breakout, everyone told me how great my skin looked. Pleasant, yes. Insulting to my previous million-step skincare, probably, but I guess I'm leaning away from that now 😅 Feels and looks great under makeup, too!" — Diamond Get it from Amazon for $21.24. 2. The Pink Stuff's "Sqeezy" sponge set — a fan-favorite miracle cleaning paste with over 155K 5-star reviews and a game-changing sponge that gets soft in warm water but hardens up in the cold. It's the superhero duo you didn't know you needed! Ahem, putting on my deep, booming announcer voice to tell you dramatically that it can clean EVERYTHING from pots and pans, stove tops, sinks, shower doors, tiles of all kinds, kitchen appliances, grout, outdoor furniture, AND your car!!! Promising review: "The 'abrasive sponge when cold' or 'squishy when hot' is an awesome feature for the type of scrubbing you want to do. The Pink Stuff with the sponge does wonders! We have a hideous 30-year-old shower and although it doesn't look brand-new like I was hoping, it's 10 times better!! This product really does work!" — GreenGoddess Get the set (one Pink Stuff jar and a "Sqeezy") from Amazon for $9.99. 3. A Ninja Crispi Air Fryer system that'll have you feeling like you've just become an American Ninja Kitchen Warrior. Throw your go-to lazy day meal of nuggets and fries into the glass container, attach it to the air fryer, then enjoy the fruits of your labor straight out of the same container. Amazon, Check out a TikTok of the Ninja Crispi Air Fryer System in action. Each air fryer comes with the "PowerPod," two containers (a 4-quart and a 6-quart), and lids. The PowerPod has auto-shutoff and four modes: Max Crisp, Bake, Air Fry, and Recrisp. The "feet" are heat-safe, so you can prop it on any surface, no problem. Promising review: "I got my Ninja Crisper today and reheated some stuffed bread with feta cheese and spinach, and it did a wonderful job. I t was like it just came out of the oven the first time. Nice and crispy outside, but the inside heated just right. I love that the bottom glass can be covered with the lid it comes with. They come with a metal plate you can put in the glass bottom part, and it actually fits into the lid, so it doesn't get lost. The glass makes a difference in the taste, too. It is a great product and well worth it." — Jennifer Get it from Amazon for $179.99+ (available in three colors). 4. A pour-over coffee maker from Verve, made from a BPA-silicone, so when you accidentally knock it over while making breakfast, packing lunches, screaming at your kids to get their shoes on *and* make your morning cup 'o joe, it won't shatter into a million pieces. Amazon Verve Coffee Roasters is a small business! Promising review: " I follow the instructions that Verve packages along with the dripper, and for the most part, have had pretty good results. Clean-up is pretty easy. Just rinse the brewer after you're done and let it dry off. The silicone is pretty thick, so it looks like it'll stand up to abuse if you want to travel with it." — someguydude Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in seven colors). 5. Plus a filtering straw that'll keep any grinds from traveling up, out, and into your mouth. This happened to me recently while sipping on an iced instant coffee... I promptly had to rinse my mouth out. Safe to say, I will be adding this to my shopping list immediately. Promising review:"It really does an excellent job of filtering out the coffee grounds and the silicone mouthpiece has a good mouth feel and keeps the hot coffee from burning your lips. I like my brew straw so much that I bought another one as a gift." — Sandi S Get it from Amazon for $27.95+ (available in four styles). 6. A 2-in-1 hair bun maker to help you craft a fabulous, flawless updo with minimal effort — perfect for anyone who tends to let their hair air dry (it works best when done on damp hair). Your new go-to look is about to be unBUNlievable! Curlinator Designs is a North Carolina-based family-owned small business that specializes in hair accessories. Promising review: "Love it!!! I was concerned I wouldn't be able to figure out how to use it, but videos make understanding simple. So much easier to use in the mornings than fixing your hair in a bun!!!" — bld9 Get it from Curlinator Designs on Etsy for $12.75 (available in 18 colors). 7. A Hanalei overnight lip treatment formulated with vitamin-packed kukui nut oil, antioxidant-filled agave, and soothing grapeseed oil that'll take your lips on a *~Hawaiian rollercoaster ride~* to the perfect pout. Must be the reason Nani's lips from Lilo & Stitch look so good! Hanalei is a small business! Promising review: "It keeps your lips kissable and soft!!!! I love love love this product. I've been using it for the past few years and it's by far one of the BEST lip moisturizing products I've ever used!!!! If you want soft, nourishing lip treatment, well, this is the product for you!!! Hey, hurry up before I order them all! 🥰" — P. Washington Get it from Amazon for $15.55 (available in clear and four colors). 8. A lightweight tinted lip balm with a touch of gloss will be perfect for anyone who wants to add some color to their pout but keep it looking au natural. It's super similar to the viral Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm. Promising review:"Love this! Adds just a touch of color, which is what I wanted, and is nicely moisturizing, too." — Joan Modisette Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in five shades). 9. A baseball cap designed to let you rock your high pony — a must-have for anyone who always feels like they look a bit too much like George Washington when forced to pull their locks into a low pony. 😅 It also has built-in UPF 50 protection, making it ideal for running or hanging at the beach. Vimhue / Etsy, Check out a TikTok of the Vimhue running hats in action. Vimhue is an Arizona-based, woman-owned small business that specializes in uniquely engineered running hats. Promising review: "Love this hat so much! I already ordered another one in a different color for myself and one for a friend! I live in Texas near the Gulf — really humid and really hot. I walk three to four miles outside most days and I'd been wishing for a hat that allowed for a high ponytail so I could keep my hair off my neck to not get as hot/sweaty. Decided to Google it and found this and was thrilled! The X straps are easy to adjust and it fits great and is breathable. And it's super cute!" — mlp06h Get it from Vimhue on Etsy for $29.50 (available in 19 colors and many other styles). 10. Medicube's "Zero Pore" Pads that'll have you clearing out your single-use cotton rounds and the oversized bottle of micellar water that's been taking up too much space in your vanity drawer. You can replace both items with these; one side is designed to exfoliate with Lactic and Salicylic acid, while the other is smooth and filled with soothing botanical extracts like lavender and white birch. Promising review:"I kept seeing this product on social media and finally decided to give it a try. I use this twice daily, and it's been a couple of weeks, and I definitely noticed my pores have shrunk. I even apply it to my neck and chest area. Product is soothing, gentle on my skin (have extremely sensitive skin), no strong smell, cottons are soft, and did not cause any breakouts! It's great for the value, and I'll definitely be repurchasing these." — Ee El Get a pack of 70 from Amazon for $17.90 (available in four other styles). 11. A moisturizing body wash inspired by the fancy (and not quite as affordable) Baccarat Rouge 540 perfume — body wash is filled with scents of white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber and will make every shower feel like a luxury. BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord is a big fan! She said, "I bought this after being peer-pressured by all the lovely reviews, and I'm happy to report it lives up to the hype. The scent is lovely — it has depth with a hint of floral, but it's light and not at all overpowering. My favorite thing about it is how easily it pairs other scents, because I am a body mist gremlin who swaps out her scents every day. The lather is also deeply satisfying and I feel quite refreshed and squeaky clean without ever feeling dry." Promising review:"Cremo's body wash is nothing short of exceptional. If you're a fan of luxurious fragrances, this product will quickly become your new favorite. It boasts an incredible scent that perfectly mimics Baccarat Rouge 540 — a fragrance renowned for its sophisticated and captivating aroma. What sets this body wash apart is not just its stunning scent but also its longevity. The fragrance lingers beautifully throughout the day, ensuring you stay enveloped in that luxurious aroma long after your shower." — Ralph D. Thompson II Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 12. Double-buckle slides for anyone who adores the look of Birkenstocks but has a more *~footloose and fancy-free ~* style when it comes to their footwear choices. These are just as comfortable but come in some more playful styles. Promising review: "So soft and fitted to my feet. Probably going to get other colors very soon. Love an easy slip-on that's affordable." — Bran fish Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in women's sizes 6–11 and dozens of colors). 13. Or some slip-on platform wedges in case you're hoping to literally elevate your style, starting with your spring/summer shoes. Chunky espadrille sandals are exactly what you need to kickstart your warm-weather fashion overhaul — they're so comfortable one reviewer even boasted about being able to limbo in them 😅. Promising review: "These are one of my better purchases on Amazon. They are cute and comfortable, like walking on a cloud. They are not heavy or clunky. They are light but sturdy. They can be worn with so many outfits because of their neutral color." — Lynette Robotti Get them from Amazon for $44.98+ (available in sizes 6–10 and five colors). 14. Plus, Huarache sandals you can count on to put a little pep in your step even if you're on your way to somewhere not-so-fun like the dentist — your tootsies will look cuter than ever!

I'm looking forward to giving the sandals lots of use — thanks for a fantastic product!" — dirtybeet6 Get them from Artesanías Camila on Etsy for $43.20 (available in sizes 7–10 and in three colors). 15. A box of limited edition Band-Aids that'll have you singing "You belong among the wildflowers" a la Tom Petty while applying one of these beauties to your scraped knees. Promising review: "If you're looking for a cute Band-Aid that has flexible fabric, these are it! I only use flexible fabric Band-Aids because they're way more comfortable and stay on better. Bonus that these are a cute design!" — Jessica Get a pack of 30 from Amazon for $3.77. 16. Nooni appleberry lip oil you'll likely need to order double of because once your sister catches wind of how good it looks on your lips, she's definitely going to try and steal it out of your purse. It'll leave a slight color and gloss on your pout while also working overtime to moisturize and strengthen it at the same time. Promising review: "This stuff is magic! I have very dry, gray colored lips that need a lot of moisture and care. This isn't *just* a lip tint, it's a beautiful moisturizer and smells amazing! It allows for your skin to breathe, and it also sloughs away dead skin when you wipe it off. Color stays for a long time. I literally only buy this for my lips!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $12 (available in 12 shades and multipacks). 17. A three-pack of vintage-inspired polarized sunglasses so you'll never again have to relieve the trauma of sitting on/ simultaneously cracking your fave sunnies in half when hopping into the driver's seat of your car (guilty). They're polarized, stylish, and will be a fabulous sunny day companion. I purchased these after my prescription changed (yet again) so I couldn't properly see out of my sunglasses. I needed a pair that I could wear to protect my eyes while going on walks with my kids (during which I don't need my prescription glasses). They're perfect! Affordable, get the job done, *and* look cute on my face. Promising review:"I've been buying these for years. They replaced my Ray-Bans that look identical! Fit great and with the price point I don't have to worry too much with my kids and being on the go!" — Jessica M Get a pack of three from Amazon for $15.99+ (clip the 20% off coupon on the product page for this price; available in 16 sets, as well as two-packs and individual pairs). 18. Bow-shaped hair clips that'll make even your worst hair days feel a bit more aesthetic — they're so strong you'll find yourself bow ing down to their greatness. BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord adores these, "I own a ton of these in different colors now because it is SO easy to comfortably secure my hair in them, and they're so strong that the hold lasts all day. People are always asking me where I got mine — it's such a sweet little subtle touch to an outfit!" Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.49 (available in eight sets). 19. Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 59 Hair & Body Perfume Mist, designed to channel the brand's ever-popular Cheirosa 62 but with a more woodsy vibe that's perhaps more fitting to YOUR preference. It has delectable notes of sandalwood and vanilla orchid — so good you'll want to bask in your own scent all day. Promising review: "I have tried a few of their perfumes but it never really smelled that great on me. I tried this one and I am 110% in love with this smell! I get so many compliments and people asking what I am wearing! This will be my go to spray!! 💜" — Ashley Get it from Amazon for $25 (available in 10 scents and two sizes). 20. Or a "Soft" perfume rollerball you've likely seen come up 9,000 times on your TikTok FYP. (Or is that just me?) Reviewers are in love with how incredible it smells and how magically it seems to layer with other scents — oh, and the fact it's only FIVE DOLLARS. Reviewers have compared this perfume to the delectable scents of waffle cones, lemon pound cake, and warm vanilla scones ... and this $65 bottle of Pink Sugar (gasp!). Promising review: "Like so many, I found this scent on TikTok. I was a bit skeptical at first but finally got around to trying it. First off, this scent smells amazing! Almost every time I've worn it, I receive compliments. It has a sweet smell, almost like warm cake or sugar cookies with a hint of lemon. With such an affordable price, I would definitely recommend this to anyone curious about trying it." — Chrissy Get it from Amazon for $6.50 (available in two styles). 21. An instant foot-peeling spray that'll have you saying, "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Was this concocted by a witch in the woods?" because it works so incredibly well you won't believe your eyes as it renews your feet and leaves all of your dead skin in its wake. Promising review: "This product delivers exactly as promised and is incredibly easy to use. I suffer from dry skin and often apply various products to soften my feet. With this, I simply spray it on and immediately massage it in with my hands. The dead skin comes off effortlessly. There's no waiting time, and it's gentle on the skin. It leaves my feet feeling exceptionally soft. This has quickly become my new favorite thing." — KimT Get it from Amazon for $5.48. 22. A "Little Book of Pasta" board book meant to teach kiddos all about the many fun (and equally delicious) noodle shapes. That's great and all, but I think it would also make for some very cute home decor. Display in your tyke's room on a shelf *or* in that gorgeous curio cabinet you've got that's supposed to be filled with good china, but you'd much rather show off this cute book. Think of all the pasta-bilities! Amazon, Amazon Chunky Deli is a small business that sells fun food-themed books and clothing for kids. Promising review:"I love this cute little book! I mean, it's about pasta, it's adorable! All the rhymes make it a fun read and I love the inclusion of phonics for sounding or the words" — HoLu Get it from Amazon for $12.99 and check out the other foodie books they sell! 23. A longline sports bra that'll function as a shirt or a bra — yes, she's a two-for-one special you do not want to miss adding to your wardrobe. It comes in 29 colors (SHEEEESH!) so you can truly load up and make it your summertime uniform. Promising review:"LOVE. It is super comfortable to wear and is great for supporting my chest when I go on a run. Doesn't collect sweat, very nice and cool material for hotter environments. I have it is so many colors because I love them so much. HIGHLY recommend!" — Cheyenne Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 29 colors). 24. A spaghetti strap sundress with built-in shorts because you and I both know you're always on the run *so* you might as well dress for a day with fashion and function in mind. Excuse me while I order this in all 20 colors. Promising review:"Love this piece! Super comfortable and soft! Color was spot on! Love the fit and it has pockets 🙌. Not too thin or thick! Material is just right. Washed and dried and it didn't shrink!" — Jocelyn Lamley Get it from Amazon for $26.98+ (available in women's sizes XS–XL and 20 colors). 25. A nylon tote bag for anyone who has always envied trendy commuters sporting a Longchamp's Le Pliage bag — now you can rock the same look but without having to commit to the heftier price tag and the fear of spilling your Diet Coke inside of an expensive tote. Promising review: "I bought this for a trip to Italy and used it the entire three weeks. Perfect!!! It's waterproof and large enough, has pockets where you need them, and even a place to attach keys. The handles are long enough that it's comfortable over your shoulder! Some are too small. It zips for security! Stylish! Can't say enough good things about this bag!!" — EWC Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in four colors). 26. Or a mini belted pack with Lululemon vibes that'll force you to stop overpacking your bag with things you simply don't need for a quick stroll or trip to Target — it'll fit your wallet, keys, phone, hand sanitizer, and lip balm (the *actual* essentials). Leave your 10-foot-long CVS coupon and half-eaten granola bar in your tote bag, OK? BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly owns and loves this bag! She said, " I wear a size L/XL in clothing and sometimes waist bags just don't work out so well for me. With this one, I can confirm that it fit around my waist comfortably without outerwear, across my chest without outerwear, *and* over a thick coat and several layers. The pockets inside are so handy and I even had room to spare throughout my Iceland trip. This was the only purse I brought for the whole trip and it performed its job flawlessly. Just make sure that you zip the zipper ALL the way because the zipper goes down pretty far on the sides for easier access to contents. Having my hands free was wildly convenient for a number of reasons, including crawling around inside of an ice cave and putting out my hands for some extra balance while walking on sheets of ice along cliffs. Oh, and it comes in so so SO many colors." Promising review: "TikTok told me this compared to Lululemon, and it's true, it is. Love this little bag! And the price — you can't beat it." — Jolie Get it from Amazon for $12.98 (available in 45 colors). 27. A gold-plated station necklace from affordable (and fabulous) jewelry brand Pavoi, whose sole mission seems to be finding a way to glam up all of our looks without having to gobble up all of our dollars. Amazon Promising review: "I bought this before I was gifted the Dorsey necklace and they are almost identical. If you don't want to spend $$$ on the Dorsey necklace, this is a great option." — Bianca Get it from Amazon for $14.95 (available in yellow gold, rose gold, white gold, and three other styles). 28. A skin-firming neck and chest Gold Bond cream because chances are you've been neglecting these specific skin areas for years — well, now it's their time to shine! This cream is packed with hydrating hyaluronic acid and has been crafted to improve skin's elasticity and texture. TL;DR: you're welcome for introducing you to this magical stuff. Promising review:"This product is the real deal. The first time I used it, I noticed a definite softening of the lines on my neck. I have been using it for about a week and it has made a noticeable difference. No, the wrinkles are not completely gone but there is a real difference. I will also point out that I am almost 70, so I wasn't expecting a miracle, but this product has come pretty darn close. I recommend it." — rose b. Get it from Amazon for $11.97. 29. Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel, which you'll want to add to your skincare routine after taking a quick read of what incredible ingredients lie within — we're talkin' a beautiful marriage of caffeine and hyaluronic acid that'll wake your eyes up faster than chugging a cold brew. Good Molecules is a small business that specializes in affordable skincare products. Promising reviews:"I love this product and have noticed a huge difference when using it consistently. I am on the younger side and don't have the worst under-eye bags, but on those occasional mornings when my eyes are puffy with somewhat visible dark circles, this product definitely does the trick! Honestly, I love all the Good Molecules products." — Hayden Smith "This right here is the real deal! You can see immediate results! It firms and moisturizes my eye lids! A must-have!" — Nancy A. Borkowski Get it from Amazon for $5.99. 30. Laneige Neo Blurring Powder will make you feel like an oil-absorbing, pore-blurring wizard. All you have to do is dab-dab-dab with the lovely puff of the powder, and then admire your perfectly matte complexion for the rest of the day. Amazon, 31. Eos' Shea Butter Vanilla Cashmere body lotion will shockingly cost you less than a Grande iced latte at Starbucks (wowza!). Reviewers rave about how it's not greasy at all, sinks right in, leaves skin feeling (and smelling) amazing *and* will likely remind you of the ever-popular Bath & Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel la la! Promising review: "I was worried after some people said the scent was a bit strong, but as someone who is usually sensitive to smells I'm extremely happy with this. N ot only does it feel amazing and super creamy, it smells SOOOO good. I love that it feels like expensive body butter and the smell literally lasts all day. 100% recommend" — Carley Get it from Amazon for $3.99+ (available in two sizes, five other scents, and multi-packs). 32. An off-the-shoulder jumpsuit, because you and I know you've been itching to give this style a whirl but hadn't found an affordable option you were willing to take a chance on. Well, hellloooooo! Here she is! Promising review:"This is exactly has described. The material is so light, soft, and stretchy. Love that it can be dressed up or a more casual look, depending on the accessories and shoes. IT HAS POCKETS! If you're on the fence — DO IT— you won't regret it!" — Cody Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in women's sizes S–3XL and 32 styles). 33. A mini journal Rifle Paper Co.

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. Shopping · Just in absolute awe seeing the results of these products and how well they work. 1. A fan-favorite Sol de Janeiro body cream made with guarana and cupuacu butter to bring smoothness and hydration to your skin. Best of all, it has a delish pistachio, salted caramel, and vanilla scent and is gonna have everyone you talk to commenting on how darn good you smell. Caffeine has a number of skincare benefits, including brightening and temporarily reducing the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that's something you're looking to do! You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic. Promising review:"Like so many, I was brainwashed by TikTok into buying this rather expensive I bought one for my mom, one for my sister, and five more for myself as they became harder to find. My favorite thing about it is the smell. Lightly tropical/coconutty but nothing overwhelming. Every time I wear it, people say, 'What are you WEARING?' like I have some amazing perfume on. Besides that, it really is a great moisturizer. I'm not usually a sucker for marketing, but this was so worth it." — Kristen Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in three sizes). And if (when) you do fall in love with the scent, they make tons of other products, including a fragrance! 2. A portable carpet and upholstery cleaner that boasts strong spray and suction so cleaning stubborn stains will feel effortless. Messes left behind by pets or small children shouldn't mean permanently ruined carpets, furniture, or car interiors. Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $12.99! Promising review:"My daughter is the queen of spilling juice on her bed, and I never fully realized the damage/dirt it was causing. My sister bought this and I decided to try, and it is worth every single penny!! I sprayed the bed down with the machine and I left for about five minutes, came back, and began to actually do the suction. It took about 15 minutes to finish but some lighter stains disappeared right away — no scrubbing needed." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $119+ (available in three styles). 3. An aloe and coconut oil after-sun soothing cream because I'm going to make a fair assumption that with nicer days ahead, you'll be spending more time outside, which means an increased risk of burns. Listen, I trust that you'll be smart and protect yourself from Mr. Golden Sun, but inevitable happens. This stuff will help hydrate your skin afterward and leave it feeling refreshed, moisturized, and itch-free post-burn. Promising review:"I burn very easily, so I try to stay out of the sun or wear tons of sunblock. On those days when I still manage to get burned, this has been the absolute best for pain relief. I've used it for years. Instead of trying to drive around to see which store carries it, Amazon has made it easy. I've tried other things that are too greasy, sticky, or just don't work. This stuff relieves the pain, smells nice, and it turns to tan rather quickly, skipping the peeling part. I swear by this stuff." — Danielle K. Schmidt Get it from Amazon for $10.03. 4. The Pink Stuff, a reviewer-loved product so good, you'll be tempted to part ways with every other cleaning product you own. Seriously, this amazing stuff can be used on a plethora of household items and surfaces (both indoors and outdoors). It shouldn't be used on plastic or acrylic surfaces, highly polished stainless steel, or hot/warm surfaces. Plus, this is vegan! Promising review:"I had tried everything to get the hardware stains off my shower. CLR, metal scrubbing pads, vinegar, and many other things. I thought I'd end up having to replace all the faucets. I saw this in a BuzzFeed article and thought, no way it's THAT good... It's that good. It's better than good. It's wild how good it is. My shower looks better than new. It took rust stains off the tile. It took years of hard water scale buildup off in seconds. It is literally a miracle product." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (also available in a pack of two). 5. A snout soother stick for pups whose noses need a little extra love. Simply swipe this onto their dry, chapped nose to help restore softness and hydration so they can go back to sniffing all that fresh springtime grass outside. This snout soother is organic, vegan, and made with all-natural ingredients! Promising review:"Well, I have never before been so shocked at the effectiveness of a product. Our 5-year-old Frenchie, Carol, had a nose that was so crusty it was sprouting these long strands of more crust. There was literally crust on crust on crust. The nose had strings of crust. This nose was so crusty and repulsive that it was almost beautiful. Her nose might have resembled the rarest, most exotic geode to be mined from the rarest mine in Guatemala. A friend recommended this snout soother for Carol's repulsive nose. I was worried she would just lick it all off, and it wouldn't work. We never imagined she could have a regular, soft, moist nose again. Unbelievable results in three to five days. No one paid me to write this." — Brittany Get it from Amazon for $6.49 (available in various sizes and pack options). 6. A callus-removal gel so you can experience the baby-soft feet you not only want but truly deserve. Sure, you could just go to the salon and get a pedicure, but when this entire bottle costs a fraction of the price of ONE it's a no-brainer, isn't it? Not to mention, you can stay home and wear your pajamas. A win-win. Just presoak your feet, apply the gel, let sit for 5–10 minutes, and rinse! It's recommended you go back in afterward with a foot file just to make sure no residue or dead skin is left behind. Promising review:"Best foot callus remover I have ever used! I read a lot of the reviews before purchasing this product. Most callus removers I have purchased in the past were not very effective. So, I was encouraged by the reviews. I saw that a lot of reviewers mentioned being very careful not to leave it on longer than three or four minutes. My feet were the softest they had ever been. Love love love." — Cheri whisker Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three scents and two sizes). 7. Teeth-whitening pens for brightening up those pearly whites with a quick swipe. No yucky gel, bright lights, or dentist trips required! Just click, apply, and get ready to have "My Shiny Teeth And Me" by Chip Skylark stuck in your head all day. After brushing and flossing, you paint your teeth with the pen (each pen contains about 20 uses), wait for 30 minutes, then rinse! Promising review:"I have to say, I was skeptical about this product from all the TikTok hype, but after trying it out, it really does work. I've used whitening strips before, but those usually hurt my sensitive teeth, and I hate the taste of some of the other gels on the market, but this one was super easy and didn't hurt my teeth at all and didn't taste much different than my regular toothpaste, since I got the mint-flavored one. I used it for a few weeks before my brother's wedding, and it worked like a charm. I noticed visible results in only a couple of days and was able to keep using it until I reached my desired shade of white. 10/10 would recommend for anyone with sensitive teeth and taste s!" — Victoria Bravo Get a two-pack from Amazon for $18.95. 8. Wet & Forget, a super simple cleaner you just spray in your shower/tub once a week. The best part? You don't have to all. Just rinse it the next day, and you're good to go. I know, I know, I'm crying tears of joy, too. Promising review:"I have well water. Something in my well water reacts with copper plumbing and turns my shower tiles blue. Since my bathroom color scheme isn't on the blue spectrum, this is problematic. The well water also causes the shower glass to film up quickly. I've tried dozens and dozens of cleaners and scrubbed 'til my arms ached, trying to get ahead of the blue and scumminess. My ambition in life is NOT to be a full-time bathroom scrubber! I saw this stuff on a professional house cleaner's TikTok (sorry, I don't remember which one) and thought, 'What the heck, might as well give it a try.' Oh my goodness, the first day after my shower, I sprayed this stuff all over and walked away. The next morning, there was a NOTICEABLE reduction in the blue, and the glass looked clearer, too. On day two, I sprayed again and walked away. The next morning, the blue was gone except for a few spots on the floor tile, and the glass looked amazing. On day three, I sprayed the remaining spots, and the next morning, the shower practically looked new. NO SCRUBBING AT ALL!!!! This is my new favorite shower cleaner. The ONLY con I have is that it makes me sneeze while I'm spraying from inside the shower, but I can live with that." — L. J. Petillo Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in two scents and two sizes). 9. Dishwasher cleaning tablets so the machine you rely on to clean the things you use to eat isn't gunking them up even more. These tablets remove odor-causing residue and help eliminate lime and mineral build-up that naturally occurs inside dishwashers. The tablet is designed to last throughout the entire wash cycle and is recommended for use about once a month. These are safe to use in stainless-steel tubs and plastic tub dishwashers. Promising review:"After using this product, I am happy to report that my $5 investment saved me over $500. I was ready to replace my dishwasher due to super cloudy glasses, residue, and just not getting clean. Then, I became aware that the water softener was no longer doing its job, so I had the rental company replace it. Dishwasher performance improved somewhat. I decided to do two more loads before deciding to purchase a new one. Then, I saw a product test review for Affresh in a magazine. I was ordering some stuff from Amazon anyway, so I added that to my order. When it came, I tossed one of the tablets into the bottom of the full machine and ran the regular cycle. I did not expect the results I got! My glassware, which I thought was permanently etched and ruined, came out like new. Same with cutlery. The difference is unbelievable. I will use this faithfully on a monthly basis, as recommended. I can even put it on my subscribe and save order, so I will get a new pack every six months. I am amazed!" — Sheila Get a pack of six from Amazon for $8.99. 10. A set of acne patches you can apply over a popped whitehead. Simply put the patch over a zit, let it sit overnight or throughout the day, peel it off, and watch it take all the pore-clogging gunk with it. Read our Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch review! I suffer from hormonal acne — it's just something that I have come to terms with and will have to deal with for many more years to come, and while it's not fun, these acne patches make it sooo much easier. When I have a pimple about to come to a head, I pop one of these babies on it before bed and then peel it off along with all the gunk it pulls out. It definitely helps speed up the process, and they're gentle on my sensitive skin! Promising review:"OMG! It actually works! My son gets really large acne breakouts that are really hard to heal. He put these on before bed and woke up to his large white pimples being gone! Like, completely gone. I usually pay $50 a visit to the dermatologist for 30 minutes for him to get extractions, which is pretty painful for him. We will be ordering more of these and using these instead!! If I could give more stars, I would!" — Amazon Customer Get a pack of 36 from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in a pack of 72). 11. Plus, some overnight nose strips to help clean out popped zits taking up residency near your schnozz. Just slap one on before bed, get your beauty sleep, and wake up to the satisfying proof that it's been hard at work. Who knew evicting whiteheads could be this easy? Amazon Promising review: " It's gross in the most spectacular way. The amount of disgusting gunk that came out of my face was appalling, and I instantly gagged. However, my nose has never felt so clean and smooth for consecutive days. If you have oily skin, I definitely recommend washing your face first and applying it to the nose before moisturizing the rest of your face. If I could give this 10 stars, I would. Everyone is getting this for Christmas…maybe because it's not cheap." — Justina Get 10 patches from Amazon for $16.55. 12. Cleaning tablets that'll make you realize the important task of sanitizing your retainer, dentures, night guard, or any other dental appliances can be quick and easy. Now, you won't have to "lie" to your dentist and tell them you forgot your dental appliance at home when the truth is you were too scared to show them all that built-up yuck. All you need is a tablet, some warm water, and let it soak! Promising review:"I really loved this product. I am currently waiting for a new Invisalign set. My old Invisalign needed to be cleaned. I read the reviews and decided to purchase. OMG, it worked! There was a fresh taste and they were clean. I wish I had found this product sooner. I did let them soak overnight only because I had been wearing them for the last four months. Nothing happened to Invisalign; there was no weakness or anything. Just very clean and fresh. If I could have given the product 10 stars, I would have." — Lisa R. Get 120 tablets from Amazon for $18.81. 13. Schick Silk touch-up tools perfect for painless, precise eyebrow shaping, cleaning up peach fuzz hairs on your face, and even clearing away dead skin. These little guys go a long way. Whether you're on the go or just want a quick beauty refresh, these tools are your new best friend. Promising review:"I suppose it's my hearty German peasant ancestry, but I've always been a hairy girl. Plucking the more egregious of the thick black hairs is required at least two to three times a week. I'd been eying these razors for a while and finally took the plunge. I could not believe how easy and quick it was. After a couple of swipes down my cheek, I noticed that it was done. I thought it was going to take a lot more skill and time. So much easier than tweezers and depilatories!! Wow." — Tara D. Get a pack of three from Amazon for $5.94. 14. A three-step cradle cap system that is so easy to use, you'll find yourself a pro at treating your little one's cradle cap in no time at all. First, use the sponge to lather bb's head with soap, cradle cap shampoo, or oil; second, massage circular motions on their head with the brush to loosen flakes; third, use the comb to lift the flakes away. Read more about cradle cap — aka seborrheic dermatitis — at Seattle Children's and the American Academy of Dermatology. The kit includes a double-sided foam sponge and bristle brush, a fine-tooth comb, and a storage stand. Promising review:" A must-have for newborns. My 6-week-old had bad cradle cap, and this brush worked miracles. I wish I had it from birth. We have continued to use this brush even though the cradle cap has gone, and it does wonders on the scalp and keeps the hair looking healthy. Highly highly recommend. Plus, my baby enjoys the gentle scalp massage from the soft bristles." — LM01 Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in three pack options). 15. A stain and odor remover because those messes and unpleasant smells left behind by your fur babies are no match for its cleaning powers. An immaculately clean carpet AND a wonderful snuggle buddy? Yes, you can have both! Promising review:"I'm not going to lie; this stuff is significantly more expensive than most other available carpet sprays. You could probably buy four or five bottles of Febreze for the cost of this stuff, but the competition won't work nearly as well as Rocco & Roxie. This stuff is AMAZING." — Brian Get it from Amazon for $23.92+ (available in two scents and sizes). 16. A wrinkle-release spray to get your clothing, sheets, and more looking as if they were just ironed or picked up from the cleaners without needing to go through the trouble of doing either of those things. BuzzFeed editor Danielle Healy says, "I hate wrinkles *and* am lazy — two at-odds conditions. This stuff has been a staple in my life since approximately ninth grade (thanks to my mama). As a former Catholic school uniform wearer, I have discovered that this stuff was VITAL to freshening up wrinkly dress shirts that spent the after-school hours stuffed in a gym bag. The scent is light and fresh, and its wrinkle-releasing powers are nearly instant. It definitely works better on some fabrics than others (great on cotton, less great on some synthetics), but it'll improve the look of most without dealing with an iron or steamer." Get a two-pack from Amazon for $16.99 (available in various pack styles). 17. A pet hair remover that is a MUST for shedding season (aka SPRING). This tool is SO easy to use — you simply swipe it over surfaces covered in hair from your furry bestie! It saves more time (and is a heck of a lot easier) than fussing around with a vacuum and lint rollers! ChomChom Roller is a Massachusetts-based small biz creating an eco-friendly, reusable alternative to sticky lint rollers. Promising review:"I have a golden retriever, and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie. This thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and that everything he says is true. You really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back-and-forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout, and it works wonders." — Joanne Ertel Check out our ChomChom pet hair remover review for more deets! Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in three colors). 18. Bio-Oil, a cult-favorite skincare oil to help reduce the appearance of scars left behind by acne, pregnancy, injuries, or surgeries thanks to a powerful (but gentle) combo of vitamin A, vitamin E, sunflower, lavender, and chamomile oils. Your skin will thank you. Reviewers say it sinks into the skin easily and never ever leaves a greasy residue. Promising review:"Acne scars? Read this. I found out about this product while scrolling through TikTok last week. It came highly recommended, so I decided to look up the price on Amazon. After reading several reviews, I figured I might as well try it out. Today is the fourth day I use the product on my face. My skin looks dewy and nice. The discoloration on my cheeks from a few years-old acne scars is improving. My skin looks younger — it's hard to describe, but I can see a difference. It looks less rough. I've been using it morning and night." — Yasmin Rodriguez Get it from Amazon for $11.12+ (available in two sizes). 19. A wash-off face mask that's the 👑 of multi-tasking — this bb works to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and pores, hydrate your skin, improve texture and complexion, provide a lil' lift, and balance your epidermis pH level. You only have to wear it for about 15 minutes, and it makes you look zombie-like while you use it. That's a little less than five repeat listens of "Zombieboy" by Lady Gaga! Promising review:"I have never written a review before, but I am compelled to do so now. Let's start with what my 41-year-old face looked like. I had bumps, tiny bumps all over my skin, especially my forehead. My skin NEVER felt smooth, even with the prescriptions I was given to help with these tiny bumps. Rosacea = bad, bad, bad. So bad that it was actually causing my cheeks to have what appeared to be thickening skin. Wrinkles, some that were quite deep. My pores were friggin huge and getting bigger day by day, it seemed like. I know that it says to use this product every three days. I chose to go with every single day for the first box of eight. The results were so amazing I decided on everyday for the second box. Even more amazing results. EVERY SINGLE ISSUE LISTED ABOVE NO LONGER EXISTS!!!! I moisturize deeply after rinsing, and my face looks absolutely amazing. My face did not even look like this at 30. I will be buying no less than three packs every single payday so I can stock up on this stuff in case they ever decide to quit selling it. If I had 10 stars available to rate, I would use them and more!" — Amazon Customer Get a pack of eight masks from Amazon for $19.99. 20. Bed sheet fasteners so you can ensure your sheets actually stay in place, no matter how all over the place you are in your sleep — it's not your fault those dreams you keep having about running off to a magical island with Glen Powell are becoming more and more realistic. These will also make it easier and quicker to make your bed in the morning! Bed Band is a small biz that sells these genius bands for your mattress! Promising review: "I have a pillow-top and pillow-bottom queen-sized bed that is a little too small for king sheets, and with queen sheets, I have battled to keep the sheets from popping off. I figured [these were] worth a try. It works. I was shocked. My sheets have not popped off once. I ordered this in February and it is May now — and they have not popped off once! They used to pop off To say this is life-changing is not an exaggeration. Such a relief to be able to sleep through the night without ending up in rumpled sheets." — TinkerbellAPixie Get a set of four from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in three colors and two sizes). 21. A shoe stretch spray because you spent too much on those now-too-snug cowboy boots a few years ago to let them miss out on all the country music concerts you have lined up this spring/summer. Time to dust those babies off and show them to the world! My colleague Amanda Davis swears by this spray. Here's what she has to say about it: "So, I have about three pairs of shoes that have just been sitting in my closet because while they are sooo so cute, the leather was too tight for my foot to comfortably get inside 'em. Did I return them? Nope. (We all know the hassle of online returns, right?) Instead, I bought this shoe stretch spray on a whim. I didn't expect much, but WOW! The shoes that took me a minute of struggling to get into fit *perfectly* now!! The process was as simple as could be, too. I just sprayed my shoes (inside and out, heel to toe) like there was no tomorrow. I put on some semi-thick socks (just to ensure I had ample room later) and wore the shoes around my house for about 30–40 minutes. As I was walking around, I could literally feel them begin to loosen up. After about 30 minutes, I took my shoes and thick socks off, and the shoes just ~slide~ on. Easy Peasy. Now I have a new favorite pair of shoes, and zero dollars have been wasted. I tried these with a pair of chunky leather loafers, but I can only imagine what they'll do for my pair of Dr. Martens — the boots known to take a while to break into. This stuff is a must!" Get it from Amazon for $10.99. 22. A bug bite suction tool to help get rid of itchy bites. Because walking around with bumpy bites and the need to itch them 24/7 is never fun. Kinda rude that little buggies get to munch on our skin and blood, and we have to deal with the consequences afterward. This works by suctioning up insect venom, saliva, and other irritants under the skin, which in turn prevents your body from producing a reaction to said irritant. You can also use it to treat bites from bees, wasps, biting flies, no-see-ums, chiggers, and sea lice. Bug Bite Thing is a family-owned small biz! Promising review:"You need this! I am a magnet for bites of all kinds and carry topical and medicines with me at all times – so I figured this would be a good product to see if it really works. I used this little tool (3x per the instructions) and documented it with photos. Immediately after using it, [my bite] stopped itching! And less than 24 hours later, the bump/bite was gone! There is a very faint red mark from using the thing, but it is a small price to pay, IMO. Bottom line: it's awesome. I'm carrying it with me everywhere!" — Rebecca Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in five colors and multi-packs). 23. A set of oil-absorbing sponges that suck up scum, grime, and other yuckiness that's accumulated in your pool with minimal effort required on your part. Before you know it, the pool cover will be coming off, and the pool volleyball games will commence. Get ready to clean it in the spring and then easily maintain that cleanliness through the summer! Promising review:"Scummy water bugging you? I just got this gem of a product last night. I popped it into my hot tub, and from the picture I attached, you can see that in just about 12 hours, this little Scumbug ate up all the oil and filth in the hot tub. The water not only looks better but smells better, too! Highly recommended!" — Mickey D. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $13. 24. A butt acne-clearing lotion because, yes, acne on the derriere *is* a thing, and if you're reading this thinking you were alone in this struggle, we're here to remind you, you're not. Enter this product, made with pure plant extracts like Australian tea oil, to help target the root of this annoyance on your booty and help kick it in the ~behind~. Read more about tea tree oil and acne at Mayo Clinic. Promising review:"I've battled painful acne on my rear end for years, and no dermatologist, cream, scrub, antibiotics, or ointment has ever been able to keep it under control. I bought this cream on a whim based solely on the reviews, and I'm so glad I did! After just one week of treatment, the acne was gone! No more painful days sitting at my desk or nights wondering if sitting on the couch too long was going to make my butt sweaty and cause another breakout. It's been almost two months, and just following the recommendations on the bottle, the acne hasn't returned. The scars from previous breakouts are even starting to fade. This cream is amazing, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. You won't regret this purchase." — deirdreD Get it from Amazon for $24.99. 25. A sand-removal bag to make cleaning yourself off after a beach day v quick and easy! Feeling like a sand magnet after a fun day under the suck is ICKY! Wanna know what's even worse? Finding little grains of sand hidden in crevices around your car months after beach season has already concluded!!! The absolute mess!!! Amazon Shakalo is a small biz based in San Diego! Promising review:"We recently moved to a beach area, and we are constantly there. This item has changed our entire lives! It lasts decently long (depending on how much you use it), it smells super good (not at all like baby powder), and it's super effective. It has saved me from vacuuming my car at least 1x–2x a week. I even use it on my dogs's paws and bellies to make sure they're taken care of. I will definitely be buying the refill and another baggie to have exclusively in the car." — Gabbs Uresti Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (also available in a three-pack). 26. A bottle of nail and cuticle care oil you'll only wish you'd bought sooner. With consistent use over time, this incredible solution helps make your nails look fresh and healthy. Evidence of a once-bad biting habit combined with questionable at-home manicure decisions begone! Promising review:"This stuff is magic. I am not kidding you. This is my first Amazon review ever. Just a few weeks ago, my nails were brittle and peeling. I always had my nails done, and they were pretty much destroyed… then I saw this on TikTok and decided to give it a try, and I legitimately have never had healthier nails in my life! If you're thinking about buying this…buy it!" — Jocelyn Nackley Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in three sizes). 27. A dog spot repair solution because you took the easy way out of walking the pups this past winter by letting them do alllll their business in the backyard, and now you're paying the not for long! Thanks to a combo of mulch, seed, and soil amendment, your yard will look like a luscious green field rather than patches of dirt in no time. First, prep the area by removing dead grass and loosening hard soil. Next, apply the EZ Seed so that the area is mostly covered but bare ground is still visible. Step three is to water thoroughly! Promising review: "I used this in the spring to fill out our lawn more, and it worked great! I was worried because I feel like you always hear grass seed horror stories, but I just raked our lawn good, spread seeds all over, and watered it once (sometimes twice) per day, and it filled the lawn in beautifully!" — Mariah Get it from Amazon for $16.44. 28. Compound W One Step Pads for applying to plantar warts — they look like bandages, but really they're working hard to remove those stubborn little guys. Just stick one on and go about your day while the salicylic acid gets to work behind the scenes — it's like a tiny undercover agent for your feet. How's that for low-effort wart removal? Promising review:"More than six years with a large, sometimes painful plantar wart on the bottom of my foot. The doctor tried freezing. I tried apple cider vinegar, aspirin, freezing at home, over and over worked. Never showing the bottom of my feet, refusing to get a pedicure with the girls, and so, so embarrassed. It felt as if I was doomed to have it forever; it was resistant to everything. Literally six years of fighting it, and on a whim, I tried these because of the good reviews. ONE APPLICATION. I wore the bandage overnight. I didn't think it did anything, but a few days later, the wart just came off. I know it's silly to be so emotional over a stupid wart, but I'm telling you, I nearly cried. I've never been so happy with a product in my life. Highly, highly recommend giving these a try if you've got stubborn plantar warts." — Liz Dube Get a pack of 14 from Amazon for $7.29. 29. A grill cleaner because there's never a bad time of year to enjoy a good burger or hot dog — and we want to make sure you have a quick and easy way to clean your appliance after each use so that burnt-on grease and food aren't left sitting there. 🤢 Promising review:"This stuff works fantastic to remove that sticky goop left over when smoking a brisket for 15 hours. Spray it on, let it sit for a few, use a limestone block to scrub, and rinse with a hose outside. I haven't found anything better for anywhere near the price, either. I have tried over a dozen different things, and this is now my go-to product." — GlocksNdonuts Get it from Amazon for $5.92. 30. A pair of Nippies — reviewer-loved pasties boasting ample coverage that actually stay in place. A world where you can wear a dress sans bra to a wedding AND partake in the "HOT TO GO!" dance without your nipple covers falling to the ground when Chappell Roan tells you to touch your toes? A true game changer. Promising review:"So I decided to put these to the ultimate test for 4th of July underneath my white, semi-sheer swimsuit. I wore them out in the Florida heat in the ocean all day, and they did not budge or peel off. I thought for sure these would take skin off by the time I got home because I just couldn't believe they stayed on the entire day (humidity is real). I was able to remove them with ease. I washed them with warm water and soap and let them dry, and the next day, they were super sticky, like they were brand new out of the package again. Buying these forever." — Marisa Get it from Amazon for $26.50+ (available in two sizes and six shades). BuzzFeed editor Natalie Brown swears by these pasties! Check out her Nippies review to learn more. 32. A set of Shoe Slotz space-saving units that'll take your collection of shoes from an overwhelming messy pile of who knows what to basically resembling the aisles of a DSW because you'll *gasp* actually be able to see your shoes. Sally Elshorafa / BuzzFeed My colleague Sally Elshorafa swears by this for organizing shoes. Here's what she has to say: " This product SAVED MY SHOES! I have an awkward set of built-in shelves in my closet, and it was the only place I wanted to put my shoes. As you can see from the before pic (above), it was a big mess; my shoes were piled on top of each other and getting really dirty. Traditional shoe caddies or boxes didn't really work because there's not much horizontal space, so I tried the Shoe Slotz. It fixed the problem perfectly! Because the design smartly stacks one shoe on top of the other, you save 50% of the space you'd normally use to store your shoes." Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $74.99 (also available in packs of 10). 33. An ultra-hydrating lip balm rich in antioxidants, vitamin E, and green tea your lips are practically begging you for right now. Sure, spring is in the air, but they're still feeling the effects of a brutal winter. Time to relieve that dryness and give your kisser the moisturizing treatment it deserves. Promising review:"So I have been a loyal Eos fan for quite some time, but you constantly have to reapply, and, honestly, my lips are still cracked. I found Jack Black balm from a TikTok video and it has been glorious. I keep reaching for it to reapply and I don't need it. It doesn't feel greasy on my lips, but it is a bit sticky. Or waxy. Either way, I don't mind it at all, and it also smells pretty darn good." — Trisha Get it from Amazon for $10 (available in six flavors and packs of three). 34. A curl spray leave-in conditioner because other than how cute your lil' curly Q looks with their adorable ringlets, the knots and maintenance are a nightmare for you both. This spray is here to help detangle and provide soft, bouncy, defined curls. A pre-daycare styling session that doesn't end with screaming and crying? Now that's a parenting win!! This spray is ideal for all hair types and has tons of reviews from folks with 2a–4c curls who absolutely swear by it! Promising review: "Amazing!! I had NO idea that my frizzy-haired little girl had beautiful curls. I went down an Instagram rabbit hole and saw a similar girl show how her frizz was curls. I ordered this!! My mind has been blown!! This has changed our lives. It smells so good! It is easy to use and air dry. Before my daughter woke up with terrible bedhead! Now, it is gorgeous soft curls. We will definitely buy again and tell everyone about this product!!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $6.71. 35. A calming cream designed to help soothe skin from conditions like rosacea, post-shave irritation, and even sunburns. It's formulated with guaiazulene and centella asiatica to bring you a sweet combo of hydration and relief. Promising review:"Absolutely worth every single cent! I have severe rosacea that leaves my nose and cheeks dry, flaky, and breaking out. I've had little success with anything topical that will relieve my irritated skin. My sister recommended it to me when I was looking for a moisturizer after a severe sunburn that left my nose blistered and raw. I received my order Wednesday and applied it that night after washing my face. By Saturday afternoon, my face was almost completely healed, preventing pealing, and helped clear up my rosacea skin irritation! I'm completely amazed! I've applied less than a dime size over my face four times! My skin has truly never felt better! It's got to be witchcraft because not even the different prescriptions I've tried over the years have produced these results." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $20.83+ (available in two sizes).

Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. "Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun" is (almost) BACK, y'all, and this list will help you get your wardrobe, home, skincare drawer, and outdoor spaces ready to soak it all in. 1. A linen mini sundress I am *obsessed* with because it is soft has an elastic waistband, and is a dream to wear. (I bought two because at that price, I'm not skipping on such a nice fitting spring staple!) 2. A patio chair to plop in your yard, porch, or sunroom because the sun is returning, y'all, and you'll want a front-row spot to soak up some rays. These are stackable, so if you want a chair to offer a fellow basking lizard, you can offer them one without taking up a huge footprint in your yard. 3. A Byoma phyto-mucin glow serum because if being outside more and enjoying the sunshine irritates your skin, then this will help combat those pesky adult breakouts by strengthening your skin barrier. Target I've been using this for almost a month and can't recommend it enough! If you have a certain snail mucin in your lineup and have been sad since they changed the formula, BE SAD NO LONGER. I love this more than even the OG snail mucin formula! Promising review:"This right here! Made my skin so soft and smooth. Highly recommend coming from someone with oily skin! I will be stocking up, lol!" — A M A Z I N G Price: $21.99 4. A packable straw tote perfect for spring farmer's market visits and any other sunshiny adventures. It's also Forest Stewardship Council certified, which means that it's made from wood in responsibly managed forests! Target You can read more about the Forest Stewardship Council certification here! Promising reviews:"Love! Large and roomy and looks expensive." — Anon "Super cute and well-made. Folds flat for travel and is very spacious. Not structured, which I like, and I really like the darker straw color. I plan to use it for summer travel, beach, markets, etc." — Mandysb 5. A set of three pastel framed flower prints so you can brighten up the inside of your house and banish any winter blues still lingering in any dull corners with these gorgeous floral frames. Target 6. A bottle of La Roche-Posay urea smoothing lotion if your elbows, feet, or hands could use some TLC in preparation for not being trapped in sleeves and pants as often. It provides up to 48 HOURS of hydration, is fragrance free, and is more than ready to be your spring and summer skincare sidekick. Target 7. A cute little woven table lamp classy enough to mesh seamlessly with any existing decor while also ~shedding some light~ in your room. Warm lights are all the rage for home decor trends — i.e., you can't have too many cute springy lamps! 8. A pair of mesh Mary Jane ballet flats to add a quirky curveball to your spring outfits. A classic silhouette and a callback to the mesh shoes of our childhoods? Yes, please. Target Promising reviews:" They look really cute in person. I wore them with ankle-length jeans, and they looked very cute, and they were comfortable!" — amcintosh "I love this mesh trend. Shoe is sooooo comfy too. More colors please!!!" — CATAgirl 9. A high-rise, linen-blend pull-on pant perfect for springtime brunch on the restaurant porch and all those outdoor picnics you'll be attending now that the sun is back. Target 10. An ESW Beauty vanilla almond butter smoothie lip treatment you'll reach for again and again because not only does it help keep your lips in tip-top shape, but it also smells and feels divine. (And we all know that's *not* always the case when it comes to lip products.) Target Promising review:"I absolutely love this lip gloss. The smell is so lovely, like vanilla. It gives a beautiful neutral brown gloss, which I really love. It feels very nice and nourishing on and to my lips. Thank you for making this product vegan, which is overall a plus for me, and I know many others!" — Yael Yasha Price: $11.99 11. A pair of mid-rise cuffed denim shorts because if you love the wide look of your jeans and aren't *quite* ready to let them go despite warming temperatures, these will give you that same ~flare~ while still keeping you cool. Target Price: $28 (available in sizes 00–30 and in two washes) 12. A cooling Lyocell sheet set to ensure you stay as comfy as possible through all the warmer weather by not overheating while you're trying to catch some Zs. Moisture-wicking and with top and bottom labels to make the whole "changing bedding" chore a breeze, these are going to be your new fave sheets! Target Promising review:"These are my new favorite sheets!!! The quality is unbelievable. It is way better than my Casaluna sheets. These sheets are so soft and silky and cool to the touch. My bed literally feels like clouds. These are worth every penny!!!!" — Alexis 13. A pair of double-buckle sandals perfect for throwing on with literally any of your spring outfits. And a pro Target tip: You're gonna want to snag these *now* because the cute brand-name-lookalike sandals are always the first to go once the sun starts to reemerge. Target Promising review:"LOVEEEE these sandals. I was worried they may be too bulky, but they feel very nice and look and feel like good quality. Love the gold buckles. The straps are adjustable. I got my normal size, and by adjusting the straps, they work well. I could have maybe gone up half a size as well." — CMiller 14. A set of solar LED outdoor string lights to bring a touch of whimsy to your al fresco spring nights. Just look at those little rattan light hats — they practically scream "spring!" Target Promising review:"Great addition to my balcony seating area. Gives off a nice soft light in the evening. The solar charge does wear off overnight but recharges daily. I've had these up throughout the spring, summer, and fall with no problems." — Always Shopping 15. A magically designed Power Pony riding toy the littles in your life will love because who doesn't want a pony to welcome spring? Plus, it's a win for the adults, too, since it means more time outside and less time moaning about being bored over spring break. Tap to play GIF Target Promising reviews:"My 6-year-old loves her pony! She had it mastered in no time and rides all over the house and outside. App works well to control speed. At top speed, it is fast! I like that once she is done with the pony, she can still use the hoverboard on its own." — Megan "Got a power pony for my little cousins, and they absolutely love it! Instructions were very clear on the assembly that was needed right out of the box. Putting it together took just a couple of minutes, and they've already put many miles on it. Would suggest to anyone looking to be the coolest gift giver ever!" — Snelly 16. A khaki floral bomber jacket so you can still have some layering pieces as the weather warms, and shout out your excitement about the return of flowers both outside and in your OOTD lineup. Target Promising review:"This jacket is adorable! I am 5'2" and the length is perfect. It might be a little cropped if you're taller. It is roomy but wouldn't look good snug. I would say order TTS." — Theresa 17. A sling crossbody bag if you want a hands-free existence while you go on new springtime adventures. (Trust me, you totally do.) This one comes with an adjustable strap for the perfect fit, plus plenty of easy-access zippered compartments so you can keep all your essentials handy. Target Promising reviews:" I recently traveled out of town, and this crossbody was so helpful! I wore it with almost everything. So many compartments, and I was able to just throw over me." — Mesha "I was looking for something to fulfill the need of carrying around my wallet, keys, phone, diaper, wipes, and a few snacks since my children are older now, and I don't want to carry around a giant diaper bag. This was perfect, and I really liked the style and material. As previously mentioned, if you are looking for something to hold a water bottle, the side pocket will NOT do that, but it works perfectly for hand sanitizer and sunglasses." — Jordan 18. A set of metal gardening tools that are rustproof, sturdy, and perfectly cute, so whether you *actually* plan to do some gardening or just want a few cute accessories for that outdoor workbench you're always meaning to use, these deserve a place in your spring "musts" cart. Target The set includes a spade, cultivator, and a bypass pruner. 19. A Blogilates ponytail cap with actual space for your head of hair that'll keep your tresses out of your face during your workout, hike, or grocery store trip. Spring weather does *not* have to mean spring flyaways. Target Promising review:"I've always hated wearing hats/headbands, but decided to get this one for a trip to Hawaii. I wore it pretty much every time I went out and loved this hat. It kept my head cool and the sun out of my face. The back made it comfortable to have my hair off my neck and also allowed wind to flow through. My mom actually stole my first one, so I'm pretty sure she likes it too." — E Price: $12.99 20. A pair of high-rise flutter shorts that are super comfy, but also have that extra little ~something~ so you look totally put together, too. Whether you're planning to drop in on a workout class or just go on a quick errand run, these will make you feel like you have a ~leg up~ on your day! (Get it? Leg up?) Target 21. A flutter-sleeve maxi dress to be sure you have a dress-up/dress-down fluttery fairy option for whatever pops up on your spring calendar. Wear with heels for a snazzy warm-weather party or sneakers for a casual (but glam!) OOTD. Target 22. A La Roche-Posay tinted mineral facial sunscreen with SPF 50 that is basically a magic potion because it A) protects your skin from the sun, and B) magically blends into your skin to give you a lovely matte finish. Nothing says "springtime" like as little makeup as possible for the sun to melt off. Target Promising reviews:"This has been my go-to for years. It has never pilled, absorbs quickly leaving a perfect glow, but not greasy, finish." — Rocketfly "I put this on almost every day. On light makeup days, it is great alone; it just gives a little tint. Goes on nicely. The consistency and texture stays great from day one to the end of the bottle." — Em 23. A Strider balance bike for the kids in your life who have a need for speed but aren't quite ready for pedals just yet. These bikes are all the rage for a reason: They're the perfect fun transition tool to take your kid from scootin' 'round the house, to peddlin' in the neighborhood big leagues. Springtime is A+ biking time, so be sure to set them up for success for all the springs to come! Psst — there is also a 14-inch version that can be upgraded with a kit to attach pedals when your kiddo is ready for some big-kid zoomies! Basically this company will grow with you (and the products are strong enough to get handed down to siblings/cousins/friends). I've already committed to buying the 14-inch when my kid outgrows this one, and my sister has called STRONG dibs on the 12-inch for my niece when the time comes. 😂 Promising review:"We've bought two of these over the years, and they are so amazing at helping kiddos learn balance. They ride them inside and outside every day. Our 4-year-old was able to pick up riding a pedal bike within 10 minutes after using her strider bike for the previous 1 1/2 years." — OurPlayfulNest 25. An aluminum birdie figurine because you are the master of your own decorating ship, so go ahead and tuck her in amongst your house plants, set her on your mantle, or add some colorful pizzazz to your outdoor space. Target 26. A cute lil' outdoor bistro set made of solid crack-resistant acacia wood so you can enjoy sitting outside and sipping your iced coffee, reading your book, or scrolling through TikTok in luxurious comfort for many springs to come. Target 27. And finally, a perfectly curated set of four fruity earrings you'll quickly realize is your new fave spring accessory.
