Hawaiian Tropic's SPF 30 Mineral Powder Sunscreen Brush — it looks at competitors like the $35 Supergoop and $69 Colorscience and shouts, "WHY ARE YOU SO EXPENSIVE?!" The powder formula makes it super easy to touch up your sun protection throughout the day. However, the real jaw-dropping feature is that it applies perfectly to your scalp — yes, your scalp needs SPF, too!
A fast-acting plug-in fly trap that looks like a simple night-light to the unsuspecting eye but actually uses UV LED light to attract the flies, fruit flies, moths, and gnats that are using your home as their Airbnb for summer vacay. The refillable glue trap is placed on the back, so you won't even have to see the flies until it's time to replace it.
Dr. Melaxin "Peel Shot," a K-beauty staple so effective, your dead skin won't stand a chance. No really, it'll just roll right off as you rub it in. All that exfoliation will tell blackheads and excess oil to take a hike, while the rice bran water restores hydration.
A slim and super discreet travel bottle of Poo-Pourri because rumor has it you're going to end up banned from Chili's if you stink up the bathroom one more time. Sorry, I know how much you love a Triple Dipper 😔. Luckily, this exists and is super easy to carry around — just give the water three to five spritzes before you go!
A "spray and go" enzyme-based laundry stain remover so you won't have to panic the next time you accidentally get some pizza sauce on your favorite white top. It's a plant-powered formula (so no chemicals like ammonia or bleach that might harm some fabrics) and is super simple to use: just spray the stain, let it sit for a few minutes, then wash as usual!
A genius 2-in-1 knife and cutting board that will have you winning the war against excess dirty dishes. This scissor-like contraption has a knife on one side and a tiny, flat board on the other that's just big enough to quickly slice fruits and veggies. Imagine slicing freshly chopped cucumber directly into your salad instead of dirtying up a full-size cutting board!
And Ninja's *portable* Crispi Air Fryer system — because the notion that work lunch can't be exciting is propaganda you're not falling for!! This literally air fries your food in the same container you eat it in, meaning fewer dirty dishes are accumulated, which is the number 1 most annoying thing about taking lunch to work.
A Bounce wrinkle release spray in a convenient travel size so you can take it with you on your next vacay. Seriously, who has time to iron while traveling?! There's also no telling if that dusty hotel iron is actually going to work. All you have to do is spray, tug the fabric a few times, then smooth the wrinkles away with your hand like some sort of magic wrinkle-fighting wizard. It's also perfect for refreshing any clothes you plan to wear a few times during your trip, thanks to the fresh scent.

Maybe 2025 isn't a complete dumpster fire after all.
The Pink Stuff, a tub of cleaning paste that against all odds has become one of the biggest celebs on TikTok (no really, it's racked up 156,000 positive ratings). It'll completely revitalize your sink, bathtub, and neglected oven with the help of a little elbow grease. You'll stare in awe as you realize that crayon stain on your staincase wasn't as permanent as you thought.
A rechargeable heated ice cream scoop because heating a regular spoon under warm water simply doesn't work that well and you know it. This ingenious invention can heat up to 158 degrees, which is warm enough to break through even the toughest tub of Blue Bunny.
Monday Haircare Dry Shampoo — close your eyes and imagine a dry shampoo that absorbs oil, coats your hair in keratin to help protect it from damage, and costs less than $7? Open 'em — THIS is it! Oh, and it even has a lovely gardenia scent to freshen up your locks on sweaty summer days.
A four-piece airtight food saver set that is sick and tired of food waste!! It's meant to perfectly form to the shape of halved fruits, meaning the avocado you just sliced won't go bad in approximately 2.5 seconds anymore.
Reusable Gripstic bag sealers, which are on a mission to reinvent the entire chip clip game. These lil' sticks slide over the folded-over portion of the bag to provide a tight seal that'll keep your Goldfish, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, or Cool Ranch Doritos fresher for longer. Do not suffer the heartbreak of a broken chip clip any longer — upgrade and treat yourself.
A jar-opening tool that will be an absolute lifesaver when that jar of Ragu is holding on to the lid like its life depends on it (to be fair, it kind of does). It has four different slots to help open a variety of jar sizes, and there's even a helpful hook at the top to help with pull-tab cans when it's a Chef Boyardee kind of night.
A tub of dual-textured toner pads from K-beauty brand Medicube — it uses the power of lactic and salicylic acid to wipe away dead skin cells and help reduce the appearance of pores and blackheads. After cleansing, use the textured side for a deep exfoliation, then flip to the smooth side to soothe and mop up any excess oil.

A super effective and strangely whimsical foaming drain cleaner for anyone who simply does not want to see another expensive plumber this year. This gentle but powerful foam pulls up gunk and cleans out drains in sinks, bathtubs, and floor drains, helping prevent plumbing issues and making everything smell ~squeaky clean~.
A pack of duster sponges some reviewers say are even better than the often-sold-out Scrub Daddy Damp Duster (also, why isn't it called the Dust Daddy?!) This is perfect for that annoying caked-on dust that a typical dry duster can't tackle — just dampen it, swipe, then rinse to reuse.
A bottle of Lottabody's super fluffy mousse, because the days of needing to spend $30+ for quality curl products are finally over!

Reviewers say it's super lightweight and never leaves behind a greasy or sticky residue.
Or Skala's Mais Cacho Hair 2-in-1 Conditioning Treatment that's truly a multitasking marvel.

A reusable gel lint roller — it looks like it's from the future and is a major upgrade from the traditional sticky rolls that require approximately 10 sheets just to clean one shirt. Just pop open the cover and roll it over any garments that need a good sprucing up, then give it a quick rinse, and it'll be ready to use again!
Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel that's basically like an espresso shot for your face. It uses the power of yerba mate to soothe the delicate skin under your eyes, caffeine to help brighten, and three forms of hyaluronic acid to moisturize. I did not know there were several types of hyaluronic acid, but I would now like to collect all of them like Pokémon.
And the Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener, which will have you singing 🎵 "where have you been all my li-i-i-i-i-ife?" 🎵 on those busy mornings when you need to look like you got a full eight hours of sleep. It's meant to blend seamlessly into the skin and adds light coverage to dark circles.

Veet's sensitive hair removal gel, which is basically body hair's worst nightmare. It's formulated with aloe, so it's perfect for anyone who typically deals with redness and irritation after hair removal. It's also meant to provide longer-lasting results when compared to traditional shaving and reduce the chance of ingrowns. Be prepared to pat yourself on your smooth, hairless back!
A cult-favorite foot file to grind away at calluses and have your heels and toes looking silky smooth and ready to quite literally stand on business. There are many foot files out there, but more than 86,000 Amazon reviewers say this one works like a charm.
An auto-open (and auto-close!) umbrella with thousands upon thousands of rave reviews. Yes, you read that right. How does a meager umbrella have that many fans? Many of them say this is truly windproof — meaning it won't flip inside out when a heavy gust of wind blows your way and embarrass you in front of the besties. They would NEVER let that go.
The beloved Hard as Hoof nourishing cream made with beeswax and jojoba oil to condition brittle nails and cuticles (on your fingers AND toes!) and have them looking as shiny and fresh as they did before that gel manicure did its damage. It's designed to sink in quickly (a rare feat in the world of cuticle oils) and it also smells like coconuts. I probably should have led with the coconut part. 🥥 🤤
WellPatch migraine/headache patches that stick directly to your forehead to help provide some soothing comfort when you feel a headache coming on, or if you just need a little refresh on a super long day. You don't even need to keep these in the freezer — just remove them from the pouch and stick them on!
A pack of two dark spot corrector soap bars packed with tons of vitamin C and turmeric — aka the ultimate superhero ingredients for potentially brightening and reviving dull skin. Reviewers have had luck using this on both the face and body — but we recommend giving it a patch test first on a small area to see how your skin reacts. All good? Then start sudsing away!
A wide-brimmed bucket hat with two *built-in solar-powered fans* — yes, you read that correctly, there are literal fans in this hat!!! You also get a mesh panel for ventilation, a built-in sweatband to absorb sweat, and the fabric is UPF 50+ for extra sun protection. If you mean business when it comes to staying cool, this is a necessity.
Bio-Collagen's Real Deep sheet mask that works overnight to refresh your skin. No, really, it's designed to be worn while you sleep — it's transfer-resistant, so it won't leave a mess on your pillow! It's infused with hyaluronic acid to hydrate, collagen to maximize absorption and minimize the appearance of pores, and probiotics to strengthen the skin's barrier. Best of all, it turns transparent when your skin is done absorbing the serum, so you'll know when it's ready to take off.
A bottle of hair-building fibers to temporarily fill in bald spots and add some volume to thinning hairs. In the words of this reviewer, "WHAT IN THE HAIR SORCERY IS GOING ON?!" The sorcery in question is the tiny fibers made with follicle-mimicking molecules that grab onto your hair strands and make it look like you took a magical overnight hair growth serum.
