1. An internet-famous Eos Vanilla Cashmere body lotion to soak your skin with 24 hours of nongreasy hydration. Reviewers say it smells just as delicious (maybe even more delicious) than more expensive lotions like Philosophy's "Warm Cashmere" and B&BW "Vanilla Bean Noel.
" Promising review: "Heaven sent for your skin; heavenly scent to enjoy. This feels absolutely amazing going on. Gets absorbed quickly for a lotion rich in oil.
Doesn't leave a greasy feeling, as long as you give it a minute or two to fully absorb. The scent is, for me anyway, like aromatherapy. It smells like an iced sugar cookie and is a great base layer for fragrance.
Very relaxing. " — Dragonheart Jo Get it from Amazon for $8.98 .
2. Some peel-and-stick puzzle saver sheets if puzzles are your hobby. Don't you hate finishing a puzzle and then not having a good way to save it? Enter these genius sheets, which adhere to the back of your puzzle so it stays together and can be properly framed, hung, and enjoyed.
You get six adhesive sheets and 12 adhesive hangers. Promising review: "This worked great! I have to admit that I was a bit concerned about how simple it seemed compared to more expensive mounting options, but this was perfect!! It was easy to use — just measure, cut, peel, and stick — and has held up great! I used it to hang a puzzle over my Disney-themed workspace, and it was the perfect lightweight option. The hangers included are surprisingly strong , and I haven't had any issues with pieces coming unstuck .
Flipping the completed puzzle over to stick the sheets on was a bit daunting at first, but we just sandwiched it between two pieces of foam board, and it worked great!" — Jennifer M Get them from Amazon for $6.89 . 3.
A time-saving fruit and veggie divider because quartering grapes by hand...
yeah no thank you!! Parents swear this thing is so convenient because it easy enough and safe enough for their kiddos to use — and the little ones find it fun to use too! Check out a TikTok of the fruit and veggie divider in action. Promising review : "If you have toddlers, get it — especially if you're on the fence. I needed something for grapes, blueberries, blackberries, and other small fruits and veggies we go through so much.
My breakfast was getting cold long before I was done cutting fruit for two toddlers. Most cutters only do one grape or berry, but this one can do several grapes and a small handful of blueberries. We will definitely be getting a lot of use out of it in this house.
" — Kindle Customer Get it from Amazon for $9.90 . 4.
A ~wooly~ adorable shaved sheep plushie that sheds its coat at the slide of a zipper. (Wish this were me in the summer!!) Promising review: "I love him. He is so cute and so well-made.
He is the perfect size and shape. I named him Banana Peel Son since his wool comes off like a banana peel. Adorable.
Would recommend to everyone." — Aerebys Stare Get it from Amazon for $10.99 .
5. A wireless lace bralette for anyone .01 seconds away from setting their wired bras on fire.
This little number offers a surprising amount of support, convertible straps, and, most important, a wire-free design that won't make you feel like you're being poked and prodded all damn day. Promising review: "I have such difficulty finding bras that are comfortable and do what it is used for. This is such a comfortable fit and so soft.
I have found my one and only company to buy from. Bali, you are great! And an added bonus, reasonably priced." — Coree Martin Get it from Amazon for $19.
99 (available in women's sizes S–3XL and six colors). 6. A delightfully stress-free This Annoying Life coloring book so you can find humor in the frustrations and pains of everyday life — like stepping on Lego bricks with bare feet.
At least you can choose the color of the bricks! Promising review: "By far the most amazing coloring book I’ve ever bought! It’s so funny and it really makes you laugh at the most annoying and inconvenient experiences in life. This made me laugh so much I bought two more for friends who also loved it! 10/10" — KArribas Get it from Amazon for $12.95 .
7. A bag of Liquid I.V.
electrolyte drink mix to help you stay hydrated in the summer heat when you're sweating 24/7. Bonus: It's Popsicle Firecracker flavored! Promising review: "Liquid I.V.
does an amazing job hydrating. I purchase their product for 40+ employees who work in a construction-related industry. Hydration is so important while working in the hot Georgia Sun, and this product aids in this 100%.
Now, let’s talk about the firecracker flavor! When we produced these for our crew, ages 23–60, all of their eyes lit up, and they were super excited . Many of them did not know this flavor existed. Quite honestly, I didn’t either until I came across them on Amazon.
They all loved the flavor. In particular, the ones who were older kept telling me it tasted like their childhood. Seriously, who hasn’t stood outside an ice cream truck ordering the Firecracker Popsicle?" — Disney Diva Get a 16-pack from Amazon for $23.
98 . 8. A pack of self-heating soothing foot masks if you just spent a long day on your feet and the dogs are barking.
Check out a TikTok of the foot masks in action. BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord says, "I'm a long-ish distance runner, and these were certainly an interesting experience for my feet! You slide them on and, after a few minutes, feel a tingling, mildly burning (in a good way) sensation. It doesn't quite numb your feet, but it relaxes them.
I kept them on for 30 minutes and then toweled my feet off, and the tingling sensation slowly faded over the next 30 minutes. After that, my feet felt very refreshed and relaxed at a time of day when they're usually aching from all the miles I put in. The whole thing was a mess-free, easy process, and I will definitely keep them on hand for longer run days!" Promising review: "Very soothing.
My husband and l used these on our European vacation, and they definitely felt good on our feet!" — KS2018 Get a set of three pairs from Amazon for $16.17 . 9.
A beloved tightening cream because the 35,000+ reviewers who rated it 5 stars is all the proof you need. It's infused with caffeine, coconut oil, and guarana extract to firm, smooth, and add shimmer to the skin. Plus, the vanilla, salted caramel, and pistachio scent is better than any perfume out there.
Promising review: "I am 60, and I could not get rid of the cellulite on my legs. I started using this product six weeks ago and can noticeably see a difference. I apply morning and evening before bed for optimal results.
It goes on smooth and has a creamy, nonsticky feel. The smell is dreamy, and even my husband has commented on the improvement. Make sure you apply in a circular motion for optimal coverage, absorption, and circulation.
" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $22+ (available in two sizes). 10. A trio of sunglasses that'll protect your eyes from the sun and your wallet for your ability to lose absolutely everything you own.
Three pairs of stylish sunnies for less than $20? Now, you don't need to fret when you settle into your Uber on the way to the hotel and realize you left your sunnies on the plane. Promising review: "These sunglasses are inexpensive and very durable. The polarization on them is very good and keeps it very dark on those super sunny days.
The style looks good on most face shapes and I loved the colors. They are very lightweight and don’t irritate behind my ears. They definitely stand up to scratches and little baby hands grabbing at them constantly.
" — Amazon Customer Get them from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in 11 color combinations and packs of one and two). 11.
A flight attendant-approved off-shoulder jumpsuit comfy enough for traveling (and snoozing) yet stylish enough for wearing out many times during your trip — even if your trip is just from your bed to the couch. Promising review: "I'm not one to wear or even buy a jumpsuit, but I thought, what the hell, let's do this. Once it arrived, I opened up the packaging and thought.
..oh man, what did I buy? It was thin and weighed practically nothing.
I still tried it on, and to my surprise, I absolutely loved it! I love how loose-fitting it is and how thin and breathable it is. It literally feels like wearing pajamas, but it still looks nice. For first-timers like myself, I highly recommend this jumpsuit.
" — Ashley Zaugg Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in women's sizes S–3XL and 35 colors/patterns). 12.
A waterless and instant makeup brush cleaner so you can skip the hours-long process of washing and drying your makeup brushes. This spray penetrates the brush hairs and melts oils and pigments fast while drying pretty much instantly. Wow! Promising review: "This spray is such an easy way to clean your makeup brushes.
All you have to do is spray your brush until it is saturated, then rub it on a clean cloth. Makeup comes out of the brush like magic and the brush is dry enough to use immediately. I like to use the spray on my eye shadow brushes if I want to apply a light color.
I can get any dark color out of my brush easily and have a dry brush ready to use." — OC Mom Get it from Amazon for $19 . 13.
A pocket-size, refillable travel perfume atomizer to bring your signature scent with you wherever you go — be it on vacation, to the gym, or just to work. That bulky (albeit beautiful) glass bottle is def not TSA compliant and will take up valuable space in your gym bag or purse. BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly loves hers.
In her own words: "I've been using it for about a year. It's great to just throw in your purse on the reg for a fragrance re-up throughout the day. As you can see, it's about the size of my thumb and, therefore, takes up very little room.
Plus! It's smaller than most rollerball travel fragrances you can pick up. This first one is working so well that I just have the other three in storage. But if this one bites the dust this summer during travels, I'll be OK about digging into my stores to use one of the remaining three.
..especially at this price point.
" Get a four-pack from Amazon for $6.99 . 14.
A tasty Wairau River sauvignon blanc if you're craving a crisp, sweet, crushable white wine. This might be my new fave wine (their pinot noir is also downright delicious and a close contender) and has definitely put New Zealand on the map for me when it comes to countries that make tasty wines. I am typically a cocktails-over-wine person, but I've found myself fantasizing about a chilled glass of this sauvignon blanc more times than I can count recently.
It's delightfully fruity and refreshing, and the sub-$20 price tag is a steal. Get it from Wine.com for $14.
99 . 15. A cuticle oil because too many gel manis have destroyed your nails.
Sweet almond oil, vitamin E, and jojoba soften the cuticle and strengthen your claws so you'll be proud to show them off. Promising review: "I was skeptical that this would do anything for my fragile nails. Four months later, I'm stunned that my nails are not chipping and peeling like they used to, and even the ridges are diminishing.
When I look at the quarter-inch or so of growth from the nail bed that has occurred since I started using this product, I see nice, smooth, healthy nails. I can't wait to see what they look like several months from now when the entire nail has had a chance to grow out. I apply the oil all around the nails, including under the tips of the nails, before I go to bed most nights and massage it in while I watch the evening news.
It is good to know nice nails are not a thing of the past even though I'm over 50." — All His 247 Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in three sizes).
16. And a nail concealer that'll subtly hide yellowing and staining on your nails. Promising review: "As a 62-year-old woman who gardens, cleans house, etc.
, I needed something that improved the look of my nails without looking cheap or crappy. This was more than I wanted to spend on nail polish..
.but totally worth it. Two coats showed NO ridges and looked better than natural nails without looking fake or cheap.
Totally worth it!" — Unbiased Independent Reviewer Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in five shades). Check out our Londontown Illuminating Nail Concealer review for more deets! 17. A reversible bikini top for looking stylish at the beach, the pool, or just a trip to the grocery store on a day that's entirely too hot for sleeves.
Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE this top!! It is super cute — the colors are vibrant, the print is beautiful, and the top has the perfect amount of coverage. It is definitely the top I am going to be reaching for the most this summer, as comfort is really important to me, and this is super easy to throw on while still looking and being high quality. Super impressed!" — Kathryn Get it from Hue for $48 (available in women's sizes S–XL).
18. A pleading plant stake so you can poke a little fun at your forgetfulness..

Promising review: "Great quality and absolutely adorable. Makes me smile every time I walk by." — kdemery Get it from Message Babes on Etsy for $18 .
19. An absolutely massive Bluetooth speaker shaped like an AirPod — yep, that's it. There's nothing else I really need to say about this other than to let you know that reviewers say it's funny and the sound quality is surprisingly good.
Promising reviews: "I use this at least once a week on remote meetings and everyone loves it as a joke. It’s not good at much more than a visual joke, but I consider that for me. Love it.
" — les campbell "Got this for my son for Christmas, and he loves it. It’s loud, and sound quality is pretty good." — Nayy lashuan Get it from Amazon for $22.
99 (available in two styles). 20. An equal parts hilarious and genius sleep sack if your bedsheets are all stained with self-tanner.
Keep your white sheets white and leave the beach towels in the closet! Slide yourself into the silky-feeling sack — there's even a foot opening to allow for airflow — and let any self-tanner stick to the sack and not your sheets. Promising review: "I debated over buying this for a long time. I’m so glad I went with this product over the cheaper ones.
Not only does it save my white sheets, but it’s so comfortable! The fabric is top-quality and breathable! Easy to wash and store in your nightstand when not using it. Except I rarely store it because I love sleeping with it even when I don’t have tanner on." — Barry Engelbrecht Get it from Amazon for $45.
99+ (available in three colors). 21. And on the topic of sleep accessories, a hooded adult swaddle (you might remember this brand's Shark Tank appearance!) because reviewers swear that it helps settle restless legs, fall asleep faster, and get back to sleep easier if they wake in the night.
This blanket is like a weighted blanket, and it uses deep touch pressure therapy (like a traditional weighted blanket) to help you fall asleep. Read more about weighted blankets and what they can and can't do at Cleveland Clinic . Promising review: "First of all, I absolutely love this sleeping bag! I bought it so I wouldn’t flip onto my stomach while sleeping.
.. and it worked like a charm! It’s compressive without being so tight that it’s uncomfortable.
You have space to move, but you still feel swaddled. I had no problems with taking my feet out to go to the bathroom — for those concerned about that aspect. It’s warm but not overly warm – which is a plus.
I would recommend it for people who like to feel swaddled, enjoy weighted blankets, or don’t want their feet sticking out from under the covers." — Memyselfandeye Get it from Amazon for $89.99 (available in four sizes and three colors).
22. A sand-removal bag that'll be a must-have in your beach bag this summer. Rub it on your body to remove sand with ease! (No, it's not magic.
Inside the bags is a powder that, when rubbed on your body, quickly absorbs moisture, making it easier to brush off the sand.) Shakalo is a small business 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 1–2 times a week. And I even use it on my dogs paws and bellies to make sure they're taken care of, too.
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 .
23. Some capybara magnets for adding some chill vibes to the chaos of save the dates, flyers, photos, coupons, and other random bits on your fridge. Dapple & Dot is a small business based in the UK.

You need it!" — Free People Reviewer "I bought this crop in the black and white color, and I loveeee them. I always wear them for working out, underneath jumpsuits, and just as cute crops. They are supportive but not suffocating.

Promising review: " My kids put this in everything. I love it too, but it wasn’t my idea to get it; it was my kids, and I’m glad we got it. I don’t need any other seasoning now.

Promising review: "I broke up the three-pack and gave one pen as a gift for a class gift exchange and put the other two in a stocking for Christmas. Good quality and approved by both the 8-year-old and 49-year-old husband, who is a kid at heart! Definitely recommend." — Kindle Customer Get a set of three from Amazon for $21.
99 . 29. A pair of easy, breezy, loose linen pants for anyone who refuses to wear clingy fabrics and silhouettes when it's stupidly hot outside.
