2. A sunburn soother crafted with aloe and coconut oil to hydrate skin and turn back time to before you stayed out in the sun a little too long.
Psst — a lot of reviewers mentioned this also helped prevent peeling and itching!
Promising review: “I ordered this two weeks ago after seeing rave reviews. So grateful I did. Yesterday I got the worst burn. It was unbelievable. I applied this four times over 24 hours. When I woke up this morning it was a lot better and has just gotten increasingly better throughout the day. The burn is mostly faded, and the pain is so much better. I hope to never burn this badly again, but I will be stockpiling this lotion all the same.” —Carolina G.

3. A 21-ounce jug of Greenies treats, because as much as you love your cat, their breath could use some work.
Promising review: “My cat came to me with most of her teeth already pulled. I wanted to save the remaining ones so I use a periodontal tooth powder in conjunction with these Greenies. The combo works really well, and she loves the Greenies! These are a winner in our house.” —Nenni

4. A mosquito-repelling camping lantern that’ll provide light and protection from buzzing pests. Just think: no sprays, no using your phone as a flashlight, no gross candles — just good vibes.
Promising review: “After using this thing up in the mountains and in the backyard jungle I have, this little device makes a big difference in sitting outside at night. I doubted that anything besides a good repellent would work, but I was wrong. I will be buying a couple more to have handy wherever I am. Go ahead and buy one, they work!” —Kindle Customer

Promising review: “I never carry an umbrella cause they’re too bulky, so when I saw the Hairbrella I was so excited. It keeps my hair dry and my curls nicely quaffed, rather than me looking like I stuck my fingers I a light socket. I’m telling everyone I know about it, it’s an amazing alternative to those wide-brimmed hats or a briefcase LOL! Truly it’s never going Read more about review stating Love it!!to leave my side from now on! I definitely recommend it.” —Gina C.

Just drop in a tablet with warm water and wait 15–30 minutes. Wash out and admire your sparkling container!
Promising review: “I actually found this product on a BuzzFeed article on things that you can’t believe you don’t already own. I figured I’d give it a shot as we have plenty of gross looking travel coffee mugs. I was not disappointed, in fact, I was blown away. I was amazed and even a tad disgusted at how gross they truly were.” —Nanners1010

A Marshmallow Whip Maker loved by TikTokers thanks to its ability to turn your hum-drum cleanser into light frothy foam. Foam = easier to apply and less friction bothering your skin.
Amazon
To use this, all you have to do is put a pearl-sized drop of your favorite cleanser at the bottom, fill with water up to the dotted line, and pump it until it creates foam.
Promising review: “This thing is the bomb. Does exactly what it advertises — makes a thick whipped cream/foam out of washes, making it economical as well as fun. It can ‘soften’ harsh washes to make the concoction gentler on skin. It’s also great for mixing washes if you have two or more you’d like to combine for different effects. And of course, a little goes a long, long way with this puppy. For the price, it’s a steal —if you’re into this kind of thing. Definitely give it a try if you’re not sure. It’s a really cool device.” —KnockKnockMe
Get it from Amazon for $7.

A Cat Dancer toy you can waggle in front of your feline whenever you wanna give them a proper workout.
amazon.com, amazon.com
In fact, if you are looking for an immediate LOL, please head straight to the review images of this little gizmo — pages and pages of kitty cats losing their marbles. It is goodness and absurdity and light.
Promising review: “I have a whole room filled with cat toys that my cat is not interested in. It’s funny how the least expensive cat toy I have makes him go crazy. He plays with this until he’s panting like a dog and I have never seen him jump so high. I’m certain this toy will help him lose his belly. He loves it! I highly recommend it!” —Kwoo

A pack of fancy peanut butter cups that critics (me) are calling the Candy of the Year. Good luck not eating the entire bag in one sitting!
Amazon
I love pretty much everything by SkinnyDipped! Their candy always has the perfect ratio between nut (or nut butter) and chocolate. Truly top tier snacking material. See all the options (everything from chocolate covered almonds to salted caramel bars) here.

Amazon
Promising review: “These are so cute and comfortable!! I am so impressed with the fit. I really needed slippers that wouldn’t get stinky after stepping into them from out of the shower. These are going to be so easy to clean and I’ll be able to wear them for a while!” —Sofia Khan

Promising review: “We travel full-time and move every three months so everything has to be compact and packable. These replaced five other kitchen utensils that did not nest in each other. They sit on the counter ready to use. They are sturdy and have been used in nonstick ceramic and cast-iron pans. Very happy with this set.” —Justice Talbot
Get a set from Amazon for $26+ (available in two colors).
12. A survival bandana printed with a ton of helpful survival information in case you get into trouble on a hike. It’s good to wear on your head, use as a sling, collect water, and more.
Promising review: “Oversized compared to your typical bandana, which is awesome! Great weight. My family and I have been building our BOBs (bug out bags). I have been wanting to find something like this for a while. It is nice; it has instructions on it. Very versatile. I bought one to test out to see if it was worth getting more. I am thrilled to say it is. I will be purchasing one for each of us. Super excited. I love how brightly colored this one is as well. It is going to make it nice to hike and camp with.” —Shadow Breaker

16. A power strip with an ultra thin outlet cover so you can enjoy all your ports without dealing with buiky cords getting in the way of keeping your furniture flush to the wall.
Promising review: “The design of this is great. I always hated putting plugs behind furniture and either not using the plug, or the furniture being inches away from the wall. This is the perfect solution. I have a few of these now behind couches and dressers in the house and they are great. This is more expensive than some other flat extension cords but I think the look and quality of these is worth it.” —Adam C.
Get it from Amazon for $24.95.
17. A set of popular wickaway sweatbands to keep your sweat at bay, aka out of your face and eyes.
Promising review: “Amazing quality! These are super soft and keep your head cool when working out! I couldn’t believe how well they work at wicking away moisture and staying cool! They came in a super nice box that will help me to not lose them — like I’m prone to. The colors are cute and the headbands aren’t too tight at all! They have nice stretch to them if you have a larger head. This is one of the best purchases I’ve ever made on Amazon! I’m so glad I bought these!” —Gypsigirl213

Promising review: “I got this for Christmas. Honestly I didn’t think it would work. It sat around for six to seven months before I tried it. Wow! My tiled shower had mold, mildew, iron, rust, hard water stains, dirt and every other nasty stain that can be had in a shower. With a little Comet and very little effort it took it all off. I have tried every cleaner, scrubbie that I could find to clean this shower. Nothing worked. Not even straight bleach. This scrubber worked. I am in shock that it worked. After a good workout I noticed that the some of the brushes were bent. The product is still worth the money even if I have to replace it. Overall this is a great product. I am going to be giving them as Christmas gifts this year.” —FreddiesCat

amazon.com, amazon.com

Get it Amazon for $12.95+ (available in 11 colors).
22. A lantern and fan hybrid you can hook to the top of your tent, because who said you can’t take a ceiling fan on a camping trip?
Promising review: “I went camping this week, and I just hate when it’s sooooo darn hot in the tent, and of course there’s no place to put a fan AND a light. This one worked perfectly. It hung by it’s built in hook to the top of the tent, the light was just right, and the fan was quiet and effective for a two-person tent. Happy I bought it.” —Kevin Gaither
Get it from Amazon for $15.99
23. Tide’s Brights + Whites Rescue capable of making colorful clothing more vibrant and white clothing up to three shades lighter. Wow, better wear sunglasses when you pull out your dazzlingly clean laundry!
Promising review: “I bought this based off of the good reviews and I’m so glad I did! I added the Tide W+B and washed on hot with extra rinse cycle to help remove the strong fragrance. I did this twice. Whites and colors looked new again!! Then I used it on all of my white bed sheets and towels. Amazing difference!” —Sean Ulrich

24. A canine ear cleaner so your pup can actually hear you when you tell them what a good dog they are. :3
Promising review: “I bought this for my cat because he had ear mites when I got him and when they cleared up, his ears were left with a bunch of nasty wax and I couldn’t get all of it out in fear of pushing it farther down. This stuff brought EVERYTHING up! I LOVE it and HIGHLY recommend for anyone with an animal with dirty ears! My cat has stopped scratching at his ears finally because they are nice and clean!” —Tricia S.
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
25. A Rumpl indoor/outdoor blanket, which is waterproof and dirt resistant so you can stay cozy, even in the dirtiest conditions.
Rumpl is a Portland, OR-based small business that was inspired by warm and snuggly sleeping bags, and how much better the material retains heat compared to traditional bedding. The idea of a “sleeping bag blanket” was born, and Rumpl with it. They use only 100% post-consumer recycled materials, and are now recycling over 5 million discarded plastic bottles through their supply chain every year. They also offset all their carbon emissions with carbon credits!
The Rumpl blanket is also machine washable and dryer-safe!
Promising review: “We took this king-size blanket with us on our camping trip to New Zealand. At first I thought it might have been too overkill since it took up a lot of space in my luggage and a duvet was included in our camper van rental. But we ended up using this every night, enjoying the warmth and breathable comfort even on fairly warmly evenings. It was definitely large enough for two even with tossing and turning, we both had enough Rumpl to sleep well throughout the night. Great purchase, totally worth it.” —Becca606
Get it from Amazon for $99+ (available in two sizes and five colors).
26. A handy multitool jar opener that uses the power of grippy rubber and torque to make opening any stubborn jar a breeze. It also comes with a bottle opener that can also open some cans!
Psst — a lot of reviewers with arthritis swear by these for pain-free, easy opening, and parents say it makes it a lot easier for kids to open jars, too!
Promising review: “Having had arthritis in my hands since my teens, I have used many jar/bottle openers out of necessity. The OXO ones work well, but wear out within a year because of the volume of usage. This fabulous opener has yet to find a container that it cannot easily open, even bottles of water with heavily sealed caps. I love it so much I ordered another one to have in two drawers on either end of my kitchen. This gripper does not exacerbate my carpel tunnel syndrome, either. I would give it more stars if I could.” —Patrizia L.
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in five colors).
27. A portable, all-in-one golf cleaner with a built-in spray bottle, scrub pad, brass groove cleaning tools, and brush all to make sure caked on dirt doesn’t come between you and a birdie.
Promising review: “I’ll start with saying Caddy Clean is the top of the line cleaner when it comes to golf club care. If you think about it in a cost since you’re spending $26 for something that can clean and care for your (very expensive) clubs and save you from purchasing new clubs a lot earlier. Not only is it efficient it is also convenient. Small and easy to carry as this all in one cleaner. The product design is sleek and professional and something I am truly happy to purchase. I have recommended it to all my fellow golfers and I am recommending it for you guys as well. If you care about your clubs and your golf game buy this product!” —Valo

Stretchy leggings that pretty much everyone adores (hello, over 15,000 positive reviews), thanks to their comfortable fit, high waist, and ruched features. Oh, and everyone’s butts looking amazing in them!
amazon.com, amazon.com
Promising review: “These are hands-down my favorite leggings. I love the fit and the feel of them. Would repurchase in every color, and I already have probably six different colors already and I want MORE!! They hold up in the washer/dryer and color doesn’t bleed onto other clothes. The only thing I didn’t love on the leggings was that the waist band was quite thick; my simple fix for it was just making a small cut on the inside seam and cutting the elastic out, and it makes them fit PERFECTLY.” —Aspen
Get them from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in sizes XS–3X and 45 colors).
29. A washable sponge for anyone who hates having to throw away so many mostly-fine sponges just because of a little mildew smell.

A foaming hand soap that dispenses yuzu-scented foam in the shape of a flower. I’m sorry is this the bathroom of a MAGICAL FOREST SPRITE?
Emma Lord/BuzzFeed
Promising review: “I’ve been using this soap for two weeks now, and not only is it super hydrating for my hands (lol @ constantly hand washing now and forever!), the yuzu scent is just calming and lovely, and I’m obsessed with how light and frothy the foaming suds are from the soap. The best part is that the bottle is totally reusable; you buy the dispenser once, and then you can get refills of the foaming soap for $12.50 from then on out.” —Emma Lord, BuzzFeed Staff
Get it from Amazon for $18.
32. Anti-chafing balm because summer should be pain-free, even if you’re completely set on breaking in those new jelly sandals.
You can put this stuff wherever needs protection, but they also sell Foot Glide as well.
Promising review: “This stuff really is AWESOME. I don’t know where it has been all my life. I started looking for something for thigh chafing after running into a few issues (not fun). I bought this and it has been fantastic. No rubbing, no issue. And it is super easy to use, just slide it on like you’d use deodorant. I give it a few good swipes on any area that may even think about touching and I’m done. It’s light as a feather and leaves no residue (see above photo). It is so light that I actually thought that it wouldn’t work, as I was expecting some slippery substance, but that was not the case. I have taken this on the ULTIMATE test… a vacation to Mexico where chaffing thighs become both me and my husband’s problem due to the constant wet skin and walking. So we both used it on a hike in a jungle. I just knew this would fail me. I was sweating, my things were sweating, my husband was sweating. I was expecting to have the stuff just wear off from the sweat and all the walking but… NOPE! It stayed on. I even took a dip in a waterfall and it was still on to take me back to the beach. Neither one of us had any problems and my husband was equally impressed. He said we weren’t ever going on a vacation again without it. LOL! So I absolutely recommend this product. Try it, you will not be disappointed!” —SweetPea
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
33. A wood polish capable of turning back time to before you invited over a guest who forgot a coaster or got a dog with scratchy nails.
Promising review: “This stuff is absolutely AMAZING. My wife and I were getting tired of looking at our worn-out cabinets and wood paneling and were very close to paying a professional thousands of dollars to refinish it all, but then we came across this product. Our paneling and cabinets were looking rough. We have two dogs that jumped up and scratched places. We also had an area that was damaged by water spots where our dog bowls were. Several other areas were just worn from heavy traffic. This stuff was like a magical eraser for water spots, scratches, scuffs, and any other blemish. We simply wiped the product on with a paper towel and let is sit for 20 minutes before wiping it off with a clean towel. Everything looks brand new. I’m buying a couple more so we can finish our cabinets and wood paneling. We’re so glad we found this product.” —Kris
