Promising review: "I think this might be one of the best things I've ever bought on Amazon. I bought one sheet for my mom for Christmas, and they just came. She hasn't seen them, but I know they'll crack her up.
They look fantastic. I'll definitely buy more!!" — Claudia Basile Get it from Amazon for $15.99 .

A Simple Modern tumbler for those who don't really care about name brand, but want something that'll keep their drink cold for hours on end. It also comes in a bunch of pretty pastels, sooo it's really a no-brainer. Many reviewers said they find themselves drinking more water when they have a straw, and the fact that it's so dang cute doesn't hurt either! BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes says, "I finally decided to hop on board the hype train for these big tumblers and am already obsessed with my Simple Modern one! I opted for the mint green color and it's as pretty as I'd hoped in person.
The fact that this has both a straw and a handle means I end up carrying it around with me and drinking WAY more water than I did before. BTW! I highly recommend getting straw covers to protect against dust and germs — as pictured above, I got cute cloud ones (like these ), and they work perfectly!" Promising review : "If you have been wanting a Stanley cup, believe me, save yourself some money and get this cup! You will end up with a better cup than the Stanley! I have dropped/tipped over this cup a couple of times and only a couple of drops of water come out. If I did that to my Stanley, water got everywhere! And this cup keeps the water so cold.
And if you purchase silicone straw toppers, it keeps the water even colder! Also, it fits in my car cup holder, and my Stanley really didn’t . Love this cup!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $22.94+ (available in two sizes and 21 colors).
Also available in a style without the handle ! 6. And a set of cowboy straw toppers if 1. You can't stop singing Beyonce's "Texas Hold 'Em" and 2.

5 inches!) satin scrunchies so you can sweep your hair up and off your neck after skipping wash day [[again]] and opt for dry shampoo instead. Promising reviews: "I love the look of the huge silk scrunchies on a lot of retail websites, but I'm not willing to pay that much for ONE hair tie. These are a great substitute, and you get four for half the price .
(Came in cute packaging, too.)" — Michael L. "Honestly, I was very skeptical because I didn’t think I would like oversized scrunchies, but I have long hair, and I find any other scrunchies always pulling out my hair, so these are extremely comfortable.
The downside is now I must get them in all colors. 😃" — Dawn Sullivan Get a three-pack from Amazon for $9.99 (available in various color combinations).
9. A roll of app-controlled LED rope lights you can use to create random squiggles on your living wall OR spell out naughty words. Your choice.

They pop out of the tray really easily...
especially after setting them out for a quick couple of minutes on the counter. Tipping the tray 30 degrees to level the water before putting it in the freezer is a great tip from another review. The cubes are the perfect size to scoop into my homemade iced mochas.

A pair of $15 oval sunnies that reviewers say may or may not look like a $500+ Celine pair 👀 and I'm right there with them. I am *not* delicate with my sunglasses so I've never trusted myself with an expensive pair and I've just come to terms with the fact that I don't care enough to change my habits in order to do so. I don't do sunglass cases and I throw my sunnies in the bottom of my bag/have been known to sit on them before, so $15 is usually the price point I stick to.
I have a couple of other styles from Sojos and they've held up really well so I just picked up these trendy oval ones for my upcoming summer travels. Promising review : "These have been one of my absolute favorite Amazon purchases. T hese feel like high-end sunglasses but without the price tag.

I do!" — reader Get it from Amazon for $25.48+ (available in 11 styles). 18.
A freakin' cherry toilet brush certain to brighten up your bathroom and your mood when you inevitably have to clean it...

It's so cute. 🥰 I'm so glad I bought this for my bathroom. It really adds an adorable touch to my bathroom decor, and it had a purpose, so it's even better!! A+++ 🍒" — BumbleBee Get it from Amazon for $19.
99 (available in two colors). 19. A waterproof Bluetooth speaker so you can listen to your true crime podcast at a reasonable decibel rather than bumping your iPhone up to max volume, perching it on the side of your tub, and still barely being able to decipher what Ashley Flowers is saying.
Promising review : "I bought this speaker last year and only turn it on when I shower and turn it off when I’m done! I shower every night, and when I say I HAVE NEVER CHARGED IT, I mean it! I only charged it once when I first got it, and since then, I have never had to charge it again! It’s hanging in my shower, gets water all over it, and sounds perfectly clear when I’m listening to music or on a phone call! It’s amazing!!!" — Rodrigo Ornelas Get it from Amazon for $24.99 . 20.

Some milky "nail concealer" polish in a sheer, buildable shade TikTok is absolutely obsessed with. Promising review: "This stuff seems to be magic. Goes on flawless with no base coat, dries nearly instantly, gorgeous color (two coats), no wear after two days.
And I’m a person who can NEVER apply sheers properly." — RZH Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in five colors). 23.
And a nail polish ring holder that'll help you pull off a much cleaner, steadier mani. Promising review : "What a great idea! I usually do just a so-so job applying nail polish. I have a bit of a shaky hand, which causes a less-than-perfect manicure.
I have great nails, nice and hard, and I hated to spend a fortune getting manicures at the salon. For some reason, just having this little polish holder has made a difference. I don't have to move far from the bottle to the nail which seems to do the trick! What a great little invention! I haven't been back to the salon since! I definitely recommend.
" — Cindy RN Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 21 colors). 24.

Check out a TikTok of the wine bag in action. Promising review: "What a genius idea. I've brought it to several outings, and it has saved me tons of money, as wine is so marked up everywhere.
Each bladder holds a big 1.5L of wine , so I happily share with friends; and they are all wanting one too. I am thinking margaritas and mixed drinks at the beach this summer as well.
It comes with three different bladders , so the sky is the limit. I have had no problem washing and air drying the bladders to refill. The purse is made well and has been very durable for me.
This should definitely be on your wish list!" — Denise DiUbaldi Get it from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in five colors/patterns). 26.
An inflatable beach pillow so you can take the BEST damn beach naps this summer. Even better, there's a slot where you can insert a cooling gel pack!! Promising review: "I threw these in my bag last minute for a trip to a resort in Cancun, and we absolutely loved them! They take up no room, and I easily fit two pillows in my carry-on bag to have for the beach. Made the beach chairs so much more relaxing by being able to be comfortable.
They blew up so easily. It just took four big breaths for each pillow. Loved that I could either use the straps or sand to hold them in place.
I also liked the idea of traveling with them in my carry-on in case we had a delayed flight, and I had enough time for an airport nap. I'll be bringing these on all future vacations. " — Nikki Miller Get it from Amazon for $35 (available in seven colors).

Promising review: "This product is a little smaller than I was expecting but it is still very comfortable. I spend a lot of my time sitting on the computer but don't have a legitimate desk chair, and this has definitely been a breath of fresh air for my rather unforgiving wooden kitchen chairs.
