A handy-dandy Grampa's Weeder so you can easily pluck up those unsightly plants from your lawn without bending, pulling, or kneeling —because yard work shouldn't feel like a full-body workout. Just step, twist, and goodbye, weeds! Your back and knees will thank you. Amazon Grampa's Weeder is a family-owned small biz that sells tools to make weeding easier! Promising review:" I saw this tool used on TikTok, so we decided to try it out. It works really well — it is not difficult to get to the root of the weed and is fairly simple to use, as well. We would recommend this tool to anyone who finds it difficult to do the crouching required to pull weeds." — Mary Get it from Amazon for $36.97. 2. 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: "Where has this been all my life!! We have one long-haired cat and three dogs — suffice it to say, shedding hair is a big problem on every cloth-like surface in our home. No more vacuuming the couches and chairs like wild when you have this around. This picks up hair quickly and easily when used correctly (fast back-and-forth motion). I will never not have this in our house!" — shelby cipolla Check out our ChomChom pet hair remover review for more deets! Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in two colors). 3. And to try and get ahead of some of that shedding, a slicker brush — not only does it do an excellent job of detangling fur and grabbing dirt, debris, and more, but is also ridiculously easy to clean afterward. Lots of reviewers' pets love being brushed with it, too! Promising reviews: "A dog brush that I don't have to pick dog hair out of. At first, I thought this was some form of dark wizardry. But I don't care because this is awesome!" — MaddSweet "I've spent hundreds of dollars on toys, treats, houses, scratchers, etc. for my cats. This is, hands down, not even close, the best money I've ever spent! I got so much fur off them, and they loved it! They look so sleek and shiny, and they are rolling around like kittens; they feel so fresh and happy. My cats are still young (all ages 4 and under) so they were pretty well groomed to begin with. I couldn't believe how many knots and snags were hiding in their fur. The whole time I was brushing them, they were purring and rubbing all over me, trying to get more. The self-cleaning feature is so easy!! A click of a button and all the hair falls off." — Samantha Get it from Amazon for $12.74. 4. An Oxo salad spinner and peeler set to help you put your springtime farmers market hauls to good use. The peeler is great for those delicious cucumbers and carrots (pair with ranch dressing for the ultimate snack plate), while the spinner makes quick work of rinsing fresh greens and berries. (Am I sensing a spinach + berry salad with balsamic dressing for dinner?!) Promising review: "I absolutely love my glass salad spinner! It has completely transformed the way I prepare salads. The sturdy glass bowl is not only functional but also doubles as a serving dish, making it incredibly versatile. The spinning mechanism is smooth and efficient, removing excess water from greens in seconds. My salads stay fresher and crisper for much longer now. Plus, the glass material feels premium and is much more durable and eco-friendly compared to plastic options. Cleaning is a breeze — the parts come apart easily and are dishwasher-safe. It's also stylish enough to leave out on the counter, which is a bonus. If you're serious about fresh, delicious salads, this spinner is a must-have. It's worth every penny and has become an essential part of my kitchen routine. Highly recommend!" — A. Thornton Get it from Amazon for $36.90. 5. An electric mosquito repellent because bug bite szn seems to go from 0 to 100 REAL QUICK every year. This handy gadget creates a 15-foot zone of mosquito protection, so get ahead of the curve this year and let those little bloodsuckers know they are NOT welcome to your outdoor hangs. Promising review:"I bought this because I was looking for an effective insect repellant for my patio this spring/summer. I didn't want a bulky candle or tiki torch that smelled like canola oil. I found the Thermacell. It looked modern and promising. We tried it, and it works really well. It also produces no smell or sound. We live in the South, where mosquitoes are really awful, and the Thermacell made sitting on our patio tolerable! Definitely recommend." — Trusted Customer Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in 10 colors and packs of two). 6. Or a bug zapper that provides 1 acre of coverage and not just from mosquitos, but from other types of bugs as well such as flies, gnats, moths, and beetles!

I highly recommend it." — Donna Get it from Amazon for $69.99. 7. A saline nasal gel to restore moisture to your dry, irritated nose. Between recovery from winter dryness and spring allergens in the air, this little under-$5 solution may just help you out. Reviewers say this is also helpful if you use CPAP machines or if you fly (it helps deal with dry air on a plane). Promising review:"I don't like to talk about it, but every year, my nose becomes super dry to the point where I sometimes get a bloody nose. I usually use some squeeze saline, but it got so bad this year that I decided to get this gel. A dab on a finger or a swab and my nose is hydrated, moistened, and not dry as a desert. No winter bloody noses! It is very light, is not slimy or like Vaseline, and it does not have any smell." — Catherine Get it from Amazon for $3.62. 8. A portable carpet and upholstery cleaner that boasts strong spray and suction, so your spring cleaning endeavors 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:"I love my green machine. A big game changer for cleaning up messes on furniture. I don't even need to add soap most of the time. Just the pressure of the water and vacuum works for most messes. Worth the money. Highly recommend." — Amy Get it from Amazon for $123.59. 9. Anti-chafing thigh bands for preventing the dreaded pain anytime you wear something that isn't pants. Plus, these are super pretty, so you don't have to worry if your dress or shorts don't cover them all the way! Promising review:"Better than bike shorts! I gave these two solid test drives before writing my review because I was that skeptical, but y'all…THEY'RE AWESOME. I've been doing the bike shorts thing for pretty much my entire life, but the extra layer is annoying, and bike shorts tend to ride…er, up? I got these as a skeptic, figuring maybe, just maaaaybe there's a better solution out there and, you guys. Seriously. This is IT. I got the black lace ones, and these bad boys stay put! Initially, I had them on for about four hours, but I took them for a full eight-hour workday yesterday, and they did great! I love that they don't ride anywhere during the day, they're super easy to put on, take off, and hand wash, and they look way prettier than my bike shorts. For the first time, I'm excited to wear dresses this summer!" — Jill S Get them from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and in 25 colors and styles). 10. And an anti-friction balm to apply to areas that require more protection than the chafing bands alone can provide. Not just your legs!! This is great for anywhere else on your body where you may experience that not-so-fun discomfort. Promising review:"Purchased this due to getting heat rashes along underwear line during work (running around a lot and it gets hot!) I wasn't sure how this was going to work out, but it has actually turned out to be really awesome!! When I use it, I never get rashes from the heat buildup. It holds up all day during my 12-hour shifts and has yet to fail me." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two sizes and multi-packs). 11. A cordless electric lawn mower that'll make your yard the envy of the neighborhood without breaking a sweat. It's lightweight, eco-friendly, and way easier to handle than a gas-powered one — plus, no more dealing with tangled cords or refueling! Promising review:"If this is how easy the electric cars will be, then sign me up. No more going to the gas stations, no struggling to get the lawn mower out of the shed, no more waking up the neighbors — I should get a discount. All my neighbors love it. Even the postman took time to take a look." — Jazzin Sykes Get it from Amazon for $224.99+ (available in four styles). 12.

Just know that everyone who sees you at these events is gonna wanna know where they can get this for themselves!!! Promising review: "Received lots of compliments when I've worn this dress or showed people photos of the Waldorf afternoon tea experience I wore it at. It's so silky, the fabric felt good, and I loved how the dress looked on.

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.

Great customer service and would highly recommend this product to anyone." — Boy Wonder CTS Get it from Amazon for $234.99. 17.

When spring came around, I noticed he was constantly gnawing at his paw and not eating as much as he used to. I did some research and found this product. I was skeptical, as he's kind of picky, but he is obsessed with them. He waits at the pantry door every morning for them. He thinks they are treats. I noticed — within hours — that he was no longer gnawing at his paw, and his appetite was also back to normal. When he finished his first tube of these, I decided to wait to order more and see if they really worked or if his allergies just wore off.

He would tell me that he was embarrassed at school and he had problems making friends. My son told me he had never shaken a hand outside of mine ever before in his broke me. As a father, I knew I had to fix this. I set an appointment with his doctor and got nowhere. The doctor said it's normal and should go away in the coming years. I asked about surgery, and they said it would be around $10,000, so I started saving. A couple of weeks went by, and I came across this product. I asked my son if he was OK with trying it, and he desperately said yes. We put it on, and his hands are completely dry now.

Anyone up for a late-night burger? Promising review:"Just bought a new grill and needed some decent lighting since most of my meals are done at night. These two lights attach only to the lid of my grill because the side tables aren't magnetic, but the flex necks make the lighting very versatile. The light is bright and illuminates the grill well. The color of the light is good, too. I'm very pleased so far. Seems durable.

You're welcome! Promising review:"This product WORKS! You won't be disappointed. I used to get embarrassed taking off my flats in my office because they smelled so bad, but not anymore! My work flats make my feet sweaty, and this spray helps keep the awful odors away for at least four to five days (probably longer, but I was so excited I just sprayed my shoes again because I liked the smell, haha!) The lemon is strong, and I love the eucalyptus, so I would purchase it again! Although it will likely last a while! I have a little boy who gets sweaty feet also, so I'm sure I'll soon be using this in his shoes, too." — Traeannah Brown Get it from Amazon for $13.95 (available in two scents). 35. A 13-in-1 Ninja Swirl (yes, I said 13) so you can wave goodbye to the days of chasing after the ice cream truck (which is DANGEROUS!!!) or having to nervously await your fate at the frozen yogurt shop's cash register scale (not dangerous, just rly expensive).

It WORKS, unlike certain machines at the french fry place. 😂" — Brittany Get it from Amazon for $345. 36.

Amazon, Promising review:"Got an outdoor can, the kind the mechanical arm on the garbage truck picks up and tips over, with the lid opening by gravity. Placed this on the inside of the lid, near the hinge, to lessen the chances of it being scraped off during emptying and no flies/maggots! No apparent odor. Just seems to put a big hurt on the fly party that used to be my trash can (litter box contents, remnants of meat, etc.)" — Michael E. Bradley Get it from Amazon for $9.84. 37.

This is, hands down, not even close, the best money I've ever spent! I got so much fur off them, and they loved it! They look so sleek and shiny, and they are rolling around like kittens; they feel so fresh and happy. My cats are still young (all ages 4 and under) so they were pretty well groomed to begin with. I couldn't believe how many knots and snags were hiding in their fur. The whole time I was brushing them, they were purring and rubbing all over me, trying to get more.

I gave these two solid test drives before writing my review because I was that skeptical, but y'all…THEY'RE AWESOME. I've been doing the bike shorts thing for pretty much my entire life, but the extra layer is annoying, and bike shorts tend to ride…er, up? I got these as a skeptic, figuring maybe, just maaaaybe there's a better solution out there and, you guys. Seriously. This is IT. I got the black lace ones, and these bad boys stay put!
