These items are essentially the Crème De La Crème of the Amazon Big Spring Sale, and the number of 5-star ratings are here to back that.
Amazon's Big Spring Sale is here! There are tons of deals, some better than others...so that's where we come in.
We waded through the mountains of bargains for you and found some of the best deals in every category.
FYI, sometimes deals move *fast*. We'll do our best to keep this post and imagery as up-to-date as possible, but we can't catch everything immediately. Check back throughout the day to see our latest updates as the deals change!
1. A box of of Crest Professional 3D Whitestrips for 35% off, which can deliver up to 20 levels (they say results are comparable to a professional whitening treatment). They mold to your teeth with their no-slip design to dramatically lift even years-old stains. Their widely-loved bleaching formula works overtime, so you can see results FAST. And reviewers are loving the results they get — especially *without* shelling out the big bucks.
Reviewers are mixed on how much sensitivity they cause — some have none, some space out their treatments to reduce sensitivity, and some say they get some temporary sensitivity. Some reviewers suggest cutting the strips in half so the treatment is just on the front of the teeth to help (and hey, that means you get twice the strips!).
Promising review:"I haven't used Crest White Strips in over 5 years. Since then, my teeth have stayed really white, and I frequently get compliments or questions about how I got my teeth so white. I decided to get a box to boost the whiteness of my teeth. Wow, I was shocked at how much these have improved! Before, the strips were really flimsy, hard to remove from the package, and really hard to keep on your teeth — the old ones would slip or bunch up. These are such an improvement! The new strips remove easily from the plastic they are on. The strips are REALLY adhesive! These will not budge! Since I've purchased, I have only used it about 4 times, and I can already notice a difference. Other people have noticed, too. I think these are well worth the money and work as well as a professional treatment. I have had friends who have done professional treatments, and their teeth are not as white as mine. I highly recommend these to anyone who wants a brighter/whiter smile!" — Vanessa5o5
2. A pair of Beats Studio Pro headphones for 49% off (the cheapest they go for outside of Cyber Week) with noise-cancelling, personalized spacial audio, and up to *40* hours of battery life so you can enjoy immersive sound for hours and hours — without spending hundreds on similar headphones.
Promising review:"My hair is on the "bigger" side, so headphones tend to become uncomfortable after an hour or two of usage. However, t hese are so comfortable and light that I often forget I've got them on. I'm by no means an expert on this topic, but the sound quality these headphones provide is unreal. When listening to my favorite songs, I pick up on background instruments I was previously unable to. It's just so amazing to be able to listen to music like this. The noise cancellation is also top tier. Even in a crowded room, nouse just disappears with the press of a button. Transparent mode works extremely well, too. I love being able to hold a conversation while still being able to hear my music. I HIGHLY recommend these headphones for anyone looking for a more budget-friendly alternative to more pricy competitors." — Shanae
3. The legendary 40-ounce Stanley Quenchers for 25% off if you've been wanting to add to your collection or hop on the Emotional Support Water Bottle bandwagon, but have been waiting for *just* the right time to get it at a decent price. It can be used for cold OR hot drinks and will maintain the beverage temp for hours.
Promising review:"I used to make fun of people for using these Stanley cups; I always thought they were overpriced and overhyped. But I purchased this for my little sister who is in nursing school, and she takes this thing with her everywhere!!! All she does is rave about how amazing it is! So I bought one as well, and they really are amazing products. Made super well, they keep ice in them for hours and hours! Super comfortable to hold in your hand, not too heavy or bulky. Easy to clean and seem to be super durable. I've dropped mine I don't even know how many times now, and not a single mark! They also don't leak easy at all. Unless you're holding it completely upside down, even then it doesn't leak fast. Super happy!" — Jon & Katie Severs
4. An Amazon exclusive Roomba vacuum for 40% off so you can watch your house get cleaned without even having to get up from the couch. It works in neat rows to pick up dirt, dust, crumbs and more from hard floors in carpeting without missing a spot. And you can set it to clean on a schedule (even when you're away!) so you can come home from vacay to a cleaner home.
Promising review:"So I haven't owned a Roomba since I moved 5 years ago. This spring, I bought a BoB, and he was awful; I ended up returning it. So we just bought a house with even flooring throughout, and I thought I'd give this guy a shot. It was on sale for a great price and I thought I was taking my chances....nope, he is AWESOME!!!! He did not get caught on anything- ANYTHING!!!!! He does his job, finds his dock and there is one less thing for me to do in my busy day. We even have little bathroom mats next to our bed and he didn't get jammed up in those. I am extremely happy with this purchase!!! Highly recommend, treat yourself- life is short!" — EBEmily
5. A pair of Beckham Hotel Collection pillows for 25% off, plus an extra 20% off — these tick all the boxes: soft yet firm, with enough density that you won't need to re-fluff in the middle of the night — and breathable, so you'll get that cool-side-of-the-pillow feeling (that means no overheating). One reviewer who stays in 150+ hotels every year says these are among the most comfortable and affordable ones available!
Promising reviews:"I decided to trust a TikTok that I saw featuring these pillows and checked out the reviews here and saw the hype. They are SERIOUSLY THE BEST PILLOWS EVER! Trust the reviews. Took two minutes to fluff up to use and both my fiancé and I are having the best sleeps now." — Ellen
"These had great reviews but I was still a bit skeptical. I'm a bit of a pillow snob. These pillows — these amazing, heavenly pillows — are now my favorite part of going to bed. Soft but firm. How does that work? It gives support for me to sleep slightly propped up but I sink into this comfortable personal cloud. Soft, but firm. My head isn't sinking through the pillow to rest on my mattress, but I feel comfortably enveloped. Buy them. Add to cart. Buy now with one click. Stop the research. You've found the pillows you were looking for." — Marissa Urey
6. A compact portable charger (it's just half an inch thick) for 36% off if you'd rather not live in a constant state of worry over that dreaded low battery warning. It can charge an iPhone 15 1.8 times, or AirPods Pro *13 times* (wow) — twice as fast as similar models and all while fitting neatly in your pocket or purse.
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Courtney Lynch says: "After experiencing Hurricane Helene last year and being without power for multiple days, I became painfully aware of how badly I needed to invest in a portable charger. I've lost power no less than five times *this* year alone so I'm super glad I bought this lil' dude. It's extremely lightweight and truly offers SO much juice for its teensy size. You could charge up to three devices at once if you needed to, which is a huge help in a power outage. I also love that the illuminated paw print indicates how much battery you have left. The mesh pouch is a nice touch if you, like me, have a knack for losing track of things."
Promising review:"I've had multiple battery banks before, but this one is Amazing! I got this to charge my devices while I'm at work. So it sits in my backpack until needed. After 10+ days, I needed to use it to charge my iPhone at 12%. Every paw print showed up. I thought my phone is gonna drain this. Nope 1 hr while actively using it I was at 83% and 1 little paw print gone. Used again a few days later to charge my JBL GO3 that died. Charged it fully twice. Used it again twice to charge my phone from 25% or less. Now 17 days later I'm placing it on charge! Absolutely Love it!" — Sharon Parker
7. A TikTok-approved, compact Levoit air purifier for 22% off with a true HEPA filter because dust, pollen, and pet dander can get you DOWN (and sneezy) — and make it look like you haven't cleaned in ages, when you totally dusted yesterday. This'll suck so much out of the air, you just might find yourself dusting less often! And it can help your home smell fresher, too.
amazon.com
Promising review: "I have two small dogs who shed year around. They are part of my family. Unfortunately for me, i have pet dander allergies. The first levoit purifier i bought was about four years ago, and it has run 24/7 on high speed for all that time. It's quiet and easy to maintain. Filters are reasonably priced. I recently bought two more of these, and I believe these are the best value you can get. please consider filter replacement cost, and durability of machine, when researching. this model is a absolute beast! I own other machines as well, and I wont mention the manufacture or how much i paid, because its shameful!! trust in this machine, you wont be disappointed." — trevin c morrison
Price: $69.99 (originally $89.99; covers up to 258 sq ft; available in black and white, plus a WiFi-enabled version).
8. And A Levoit humidifier for 25% off that's designed with ease of use in mind — it has a top-fill tank for painless refilling (no spills!) and a large opening to make cleaning a breeze. The 2.5-liter tank also means it can run for 25 hours at a time, so you can enjoy moister (sorry) air for longer.
Promising review:"Very pleased with this humidifier! It puts out so much vapor that I can keep it on the lowest output setting most of the time, and it's a breeze to refill — you don't even need to turn it off, just lift the lid and pour in more water. On a low setting, it will run for 10-12 hours on a single fill. It's also very quiet, so I have no trouble sleeping with it in my bedroom. Pro tip: Use only distilled water with these things. Even filtered tap water or bottled spring water will clog the membrane with mineral buildup. I use steam distilled water from the grocery (it's cheap) and have no white powder, no residue, and no problems with the atomizer." — Amazon Customer
9. The newest generation of Amazon's HD Fire TV stick for 50% off *and* it's 50% faster! You can simply plug into your existing TV and stream all the shows, movies, and music you want at the push of a button.
amazon.com
Use the voice button to find shows, launch apps, search for type of movie ("Alexa find suspense thrillers") OR EVEN ORDER A PIZZA from Domino's! And with this gen, you can control your TV and sound bar right from the remote too, and it even has preset buttons to open your favorite apps in one click.
Promising review:"We were a little hesitant about trying this but have a beautiful TV that was just a little too old to be a smart TV. We were connecting our laptop via USB cable and that was a pain with the cable running across the living room. After a friend suggested this we were still in debate...would it work? Could we figure it out? Would it be a pain to use? We are not tech experts so any changes are usually challenging. But it was so easy. We did it in 15 minutes and were already adding to our watchlist. Literally thousands of shows to choose from. Old favorites, new exclusives, and movies galore. Alexa is there to help. So happy with this purchase and much cheaper than buying a new TV. Thank you Amazon for another great product." — Lucy
10. A cordless DeWalt drill power tool combo kit for 43% off (the lowest price yet, I might add!), complete with a drill, an impact driver, two batteries, a charger, AND a carrying case for it all. Reviewers say the tools are lightweight, easy and comfortable to hold, and make getting things done 10 times easier.
Promising review:"The DEWALT 20V MAX Cordless Drill and Impact Driver Combo Kit is fantastic! Both tools are powerful, lightweight, and easy to handle. The drill works smoothly through various materials, and the impact driver makes tightening bolts a breeze. The two included batteries last a long time and recharge quickly. P erfect for both DIYers and pros, this kit offers great value and performance. Highly recommend!" — mhm87
11. A set of FIVE (!!!) Blink outdoor security cameras for 50% off so you can watch over your yard with easy-to-install tech that's wire-free and connects with the Blink app on your phone.
Amazon
You get 1080p HD live view, infrared night vision, enhanced motion detection, and crisp two-way audio. Plus, the included AA lithium batteries offer up to two years of battery life!
Promising review:"These have been amazing. Really easy to set up, and the app is simple to use. A great option for home security. The video quality is superb and the motion detection can be set to only certain areas in the camera field! Perfect for our home and yard." — Brandon Griffin
12. Plus, a Blink Mini 2 indoor cam for 50% off, which comes with a free 30-day trial of the Blink Subscription Plan! This lets you save and share clips conveniently in the cloud, stream up to 90 minutes of continuous live view per session, and use features like person detection.
Amazon
Promising review:"This camera works perfectly what I needed it for. I purchased this to check in on my dogs throughout the day and also for security. Works just as described. The video quality is great and also [has] a 2-way speaker so you can hear and speak through the camera. I actually like it so much, I purchased two more and several Blink Outdoor Cameras. They all work great and I actually signed up for the subscription. The indoor Mini cameras do not need a Sync Hub to use or work. You can just plug them in, connect to your Wi-Fi, download the app, and BOOM you're all set!" — Mike S.
13. A four-pack of Apple AirTags for 29% so you can keep track of your wallet, pet, suitcase (you can share that info with your airline to help track down a lost bag), car (avoid a Seinfeld-esque "The Parking Garage" debacle), etc. — whatever you tend to misplace at home or are worried about losing track of on the go.
To track your item, simply use your Find My iPhone app! The AirTag will even make noise if you select "Play Sound" in the app.
While you're at it, grab a four-pack of AirTag holders for just $8.49 — also on sale!
Promising reviews: "AirTags are a game changer for anyone. I have ADHD and these have probably saved me hundreds of hours of worry and useless searching for things I lost. To give you an example, my ADHD is so bad that when I bought a new car last month, I managed to lose both sets of keys in three days. Now each set had an AirTag and will never be lost again. I have tags on my luggage and I even bought a new wallet with a stitched on air tag holder. These have changed the way I live my life. Everyone should have these." — Kent Soulek
" These AirTags are great for locating a wandering kitty, lost luggage, keys, etc. You look up locations through the Find My iPhone app, and you can even keep it for easy searching. Highly recommend and Amazon always delivers with fast and friendly drivers." — pmkr88
14. The TikTok-viral TirTir cushion foundation for 33% off that offers 72 hours of flawless wear, blending seamlessly to hide redness, blemishes, and under-eye bags. It has buildable coverage, perfect for a natural look or full glam. Plus, it's packed with hibiscus and red propolis extracts for a boost in skin elasticity. And to top it all off, its oval-shaped puff can reach every little corner of your face.
amazon.com, amazon.com, amazon.com
Check out this TikTok of Mikayla Nogueira's review of this foundation.
Promising review: "I struggle with finding a foundation that's not orange. Someone recommended I try a Korean product and this started going viral around the same time. I lucked into a perfect color match on the first try, but I've learned t here are sample packs if you aren't sure about the color. The coverage is incredible. It was very lightweight, not heavy at al l. It did settle into my under-eye wrinkles without primer so if you're older that's something to keep in mind. Overall beautiful and long-lasting. This will be my go to foundation from now on." — AJ Bond
Price: $16.80 (originally $25; available in 40 shades and a mini size).
15. A TP-Link Wi-Fi extender for 58% off (a new lowest ever price) so you can boost your service throughout the whole house, even in those dead zones where your movies or files always buffer. Whether you've got a Zoom work meeting or an equally important episode of The Office to rewatch, this extender won't disappoint.
amazon.com
Promising review:"I purchased this item because my job went from hybrid to work from home. My internet router is located in my master bedroom, but my office is in the middle of my house, meaning I didn't have a strong signal for work. I called my internet provider, and they wanted to charge me a lot of money to extend the internet across my house. I ended up buying this extender to help with the signal. I'm glad I purchased it because now I have coverage on the other side of my house. It was easy to install, and the app is super simple, all for a great price. Thanks to the TP-Link extender, without it, I would've had to go back to work at the office." — Jary
16. A pair of 2nd Gen AirPods Pro for 32% off — with active noise cancellation, spatial audio, three silicone tips for customized fit, and over 24 hours of listening time with the included case, the AirPods Pro 2 give you a *ton* of bang for your buck.
Promising review:"I bought these going into it 'I'm going to hate them.' But these have surpassed every expectation I had. My friend was talking about the noise in a call one day and it made me annoyed and these have something weird with Apple phones where they can block out almost all noises while making calls for the person you're calling and for you. Everyone knows Apple has their own technology work better with their phones or whatever it's no hidden thing, but let me tell you, these sound so crystal clear when listening to music, social media, and on calls. The quality alone is so nice! And the features, immerse (you can listen around you) adaptive (it'll block out white noise and annoying sounds) and noise cancellation (you can't hear just about anything around you) it's so wild. These things aren't even that tight in my ears but it's like you put noise cancellation on and it shuts off the outside world. I have this as a mechanic and it's just white noise everywhere with these in it's so comfortable walking around the shop having like ear plugs in essentially. Also, the battery life is great. I charged it fully when I got them and it's lasted me like a week on the case? I have my headphones in around 6 hours at work listening to social media. I probably take them out to charge them walking around the shop or going on break and I've never seen the buds really go below 80% after hours of listing tbh which is kinda wild. For the price it's worth every dollar and more. And to connect to your phone it's as easy as just opening the case and done." — Ethan Scott
17. A Snap Circuits kit for 41% off that's a no-tools-needed set for giving engineers-to-be hands-on insight into electrical circuits. It includes over 30 electronic parts that snap together in a variety of designs for a total of over 300 functional projects!
Amazon
The kit comes with over 60 electrical components including snap wires, slide switches, an alarm circuit, a music integrated circuit, and a speaker. (Each piece is numbered and color-coded to make identifying them easy.) Plus, a plastic grid and a project manual with 300+ different electronic projects.
Recommended for ages 8+. Adult supervision advised.
Promising review:" Can I give this 6 stars? My 6-year-old son didn't ask me ONCE today for his tablet, video game or to play on my phone. He ignored a new movie on TV (one he had been BEGGING to see) because he was playing with this toy. He spent a couple hours working with his dad, a couple experimenting by himself and another few HOURS working through the projects with his aunt. I LOVE THIS TOY!" — SnappinMom
18. A Samsonite Freeform Hardside 24-Inch Checked Bag for 25% off if you've been dragging around a bag with multiple busted wheels for way too long — not anymore! Reviewers love how sturdy this suitcase is *and* it comes with multi-directional spinner wheels and expandable storage.
Amazon
Promising review: "I can't say enough good things about my Samsonite hard luggage! It's incredibly durable and built to withstand even the toughest travel conditions. The sleek design looks stylish and modern, and the spacious interior provides ample room for all my belongings. The wheels glide smoothly, making it easy to maneuver through airports and crowded streets. Plus, the built-in TSA-approved lock gives me peace of mind when I need to check my bag. If you're in the market for high-quality luggage that will last for years, look no further than Samsonite!" — Cuong G.
19. A 40-pack of Frito Lay snacks for 23% off to make prepping lunches for your kids or yourself easier and cheaper, since you're getting an additional savings on top of the bulk pricing. That's about 52 cents a snack pack — how can that be profitable for Frito Lay?
Amazon
Promising review:"My daughter absolutely loved the Frito Lay Ultimate Classic Snacks Package! It was a great way to switch up our usual monthly orders of chips. The variety assortment of chips, cookies, and crackers kept snack time exciting, offering something for everyone. Each item was fresh and flavorful, making it a hit with the whole family. Considering the value for such a diverse selection, I'd say it's definitely worth it. I highly recommend this pack for anyone looking to add some fun and variety to their snack routine!" — Melo Waire
Price: $20.79 (originally $26.91; available in 10 types of snack varieties, some not on sale) and shop all the grocery deals here
Another great grocery deal: 52% off Whole Foods brand semisweet chocolate chips — it's the first recorded discount and they're down to $3.92!
20. A 600-pack of premoistened lens wipes for 51% off (a new lowest-ever price) because those little cloths can just leave a smeary mess. These'll gently clean sunglasses, prescription glasses (even with antireflective coatings), camera lenses, binoculars — because you want to actually be able to...see out of them properly!
amazon.com, amazon.com
Promising review:"These Zeiss wipes are the real deal—they're not dry, and they do an amazing job cleaning glasses, phone screens, and anything else that attracts fingerprints. No streaks, no smudges, just clear vision every time. I've got these stashed all over the house because I have reading glasses in almost every room (I swear they multiply on their own). With 400 in the box, this stash should last me a while—unless my glasses decide to start attracting grease and fingerprints at record speed. If you wear glasses, own a phone, or just like things to be clean and smudge-free, these are a must-have! 🕶📱✨" — Chi Guy
Price: $18.11 (originally $36.99)
21. A bottle of TruSkin vitamin C serum for 45% off (this is the lowest it goes for and the same deal as on Prime Day), which *six separate reviewers* are calling a "magic potion." It's formulated with hyaluronic acid (to provide a boost of hydration), soothing aloe vera, and vitamin E (in addition to the namesake vitamin C) — a combo designed to brighten and smooth your skin for your glowiest glow yet.
amazon.com
And money-saving alert: reviewers say it's comparable to the SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic serum (which costs $182 for the full-size btw!).
Promising review: "Magic potion. Where has this been all my life? This stuff is amazing! At 31, I am trying to take care of my skin more as I noticed my face looks "tired." I started to use this and saw immediate results. I apply it after washing/using a derma roller and follow up with applying moisturizer afterward. My husband has even noticed a difference after using a week and has said things like"your face is glowing", "your face looks radiant", "you look different, younger", "whatever you are doing is working". Bottom line, if you're in search of an anti-aging serum, stop looking and buy this." —J.D.M.
Promising review: "I should have started using this years ago! I'm in my mid-30s, and I've tried everything, including much more expensive brands, Korean skincare, Japanese skincare, etc., but I've always had breakouts and problems with texture. This is by far the best vitamin C product I've tried. I've tried multiple vitamin C serums in the past, but they always broke me out or had a slimy or gritty texture. This serum has a smooth texture, soaks in quickly, does not pill with other products, and has noticeably cleared up my skin." — Amazon Customer
Price: $21.41 (typically $38.99; also available in a smaller size) — and check out all the TruSkin deals here
22. A mini Keurig for 22% off that freshly brews up to 12 ounces of coffee in minutes, making it a total *lifesaver* for those sluggish mornings! The best part? It's less than five inches wide, making it *perfect* for folks with smaller kitchens!
amazon.com, amazon.com
It also has its own cord storage to help you keep your countertop nice and tidy.
Promising review:"I really enjoy using this coffee maker. The coffee quality is consistent. I love to make coffee for guests, the coffee is perfect each time and it is I who gets the compliments. Oh my goodness, my home smells so aromatic when I use this machine. As a senior , very easy to use. I'm so happy!" — Beth Georgia
Price: $69.99 (originally $89.99; available in four colors)

If Treating Your Dog Makes You Happy, Then You'll Want To Look At These 25 Products

A pint of doggy ice cream that comes in four decadent (if I do say so myself) flavors: maple bacon, peanut butter, sprinkles, and vanilla. Simply add water, freeze, and prepare to be your pup's new favorite parent. A pack of EcoKind's Himalayan yak cheese chews that not only taste delicious (and no, we're not lying, Dr. Dolittle himself confirmed) but last for quite a while, making it a tasty and mentally stimulating treat. Promising reviews: "We were skeptical at first because the dogs weren't quite sure about them, but we can't let ourselves be caught without them now. Our 9-year-old male Australian Cattle Dog likes them occasionally, but our two under-a-year females love them, fight over them, and even fall asleep chewing on them!We especially like these smaller-sized pieces because the longer ones we got before seemed to lose favor with the dogs after a while, but these they can finish and not leave for me to find in strange places." —Danny Scarbro"I have a very easily bored, mischief-prone Australian shepherd-poodle mix, and these are a godsend. They don't stink, she loves them, they last far longer than other edible chew toys, and she remains interested in them all the way to the end. I was so happy to find these on Subscribe & Save at a good price." —Philly TransplantGet a four-pack from Amazon for $26.95 (also available in other pack sizes). A bag of Milk-Bone Pill Pouches because let's face it: there's nothing more frustrating then seeing your pooch spit out the (very expensive) pills that their vet prescribed. This makes the whole ordeal easy-easy. Promising review: "My pittie takes four pills a day. He hated the Greenies Pill Pockets, and I've tried sooo many other ways until I gave up and bought a mini fridge to keep lunch meats for his twice-daily meds. Then I saw these and figured, why not try? OH MY GOSH! He absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVES these treats. So much so that he can watch me put his meds inside them before he eats them; I have both chicken and bacon flavors. I am so grateful for this fast, easy, and large treat that I can put two allergy pills in one and two medications in the other, easily. The treats are very pliable to squeeze around the pills so if I toss it in the air and he misses (rare) I do not worry about the medications getting out. I buy both flavors each month, giving me 50 treats. So at the end of the month, when I am Houdini and making everything fit, it has yet to be a problem because again, they're big enough. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!" —Nikki0Get them from Chewy for $4.49+ (available in four sizes and two flavors). A package of freeze-dried beef liver treats over 5,000 reviewers swear their dogs are *obsessed* with and honestly I sort of can't blame them? I think I'd like these if I were a dog, too. Promising review: "At first, Willow wasn't quite sure about these freeze-dried beef liver treats. The texture gave her a moment of 'paws' (pun intended). But once she took that first crunchy bite, it was game over — she's absolutely hooked! Now, these treats are her go-to favorite. She'll sit, stay, and maybe even do a backflip if it means getting one. The 14-ounce tub is the perfect size to keep her tail wagging without running out too soon. If your pup needs a high-value treat to bring out their inner superstar, these are a must-try! Willow gives them two paws up!" —KathyGet them from Chewy for $4.99+ (originally $5.99+, available in six sizes). A Dash dog-treat maker that functions like its waffle maker counterpart: simply plug it in, fill with batter, and et voila, the button will shine green when ready. A set of two lick mats you can smear with peanut butter or yogurt for a tasty puzzle that'll keep 'em occupied (and not barking) during that Zoom meeting. Promising review: "We have a dog that gets stressed with fireworks, so every holiday that involves fireworks, we fill this up, freeze it, and she's happy. Be careful leaving them alone with it because my other dog tore it up once the treat was gone." —AlyGet them from Chewy for $13.99. A treat-dispensing toy so playtime can last for hours. These toy balls are designed to interlock for bigger dogs, too. An allergy supplement that helps promote healthy skin, with probiotics to keep your dog from painfully itching and gnawing. An ice bandana to keep your pup feeling (and looking TBQH) cool during the hot, humid months of summer. A elevated outdoor bed that lingers eight inches above the ground. TL;DR; it allows air to pass through to keep your pup cool, all while the canopy roof prevents the sunshine from beating down on 'em directly. A wheat-free peanut butter cake mix crafted specifically for dogs (!!!) so you can shower them with love and baked goods on their special day like you would any other bestie. I simply can't imagine anything cuter. Promising review: "This was a huge hit, both of our chocolate labs LIVE for peanut butter. Instead of the yogurt icing, I melted some actual peanut butter in the microwave and used that as icing instead. Chuckie could barely wait for it to bake!" —aim1030 Get it from Amazon for $9.99. An anxiety jacket that applies gentle pressure for quasi-hug, helping to keep pups calm during stressful situations: flights, car rides, thunderstorms, fireworks, etcetera. Promising review: "This is my first Fourth of July with my rescue dog, and I didn't know how she was going to react to fireworks. I bought this ahead of time just in case, and I'm so glad I did. She started shaking and panting as soon as they started going off. I put this on her and she almost immediately stopped trembling, and now she is asleep! I honestly had my doubts that something so simple would work." —weezGet it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in seven sizes and two colors). A snuggle puppy stuffed toy for pups who suffer from separation anxiety and need a hint of extra attention. Be still my heart, but this stuffed animal is designed with a heart that beats to make them feel less alone. And I'm sorry but now I can't stop crying. A large duck chew toy that reviewers (myself included) rave about for its durability. This lil' guy is truly the gift that keeps on giving because you won't have to replace it after a mere few days — my Frenchie has been chewing on the same one for ~five months now and it's still going strong.* Promising review: "My English Mastiff (and the biggest baby ever) loves his ducky. He has ripped up other toys, but not his beloved duck. He has had it for a few months now and brings it everywhere around the house with him, even sleeps snuggled up with it. I don't know why dogs seem to love this toy so much, but I would highly recommend purchasing." —KristenGet one from Amazon for $7.90. A pet sofa so cozy that they may even refrain from taking up all the space in your bed at night. And in addition to a more restful night's sleep? This'll look quite chic in your apartment. A hide-and-seek plushie that encourages curious doggos to dig around. And the design? Let's just say it makes playtime even ~sweeter~. Promising review: "My dog loves the little bees. However, I don't think she's quite clever enough to get them out of the burrow. My kitten is the one who retrieves the bees, and the dog gets excited to steal them from her! Overall, I love this for both of my fur babies." —scarevansGet it from Target for $14.59. A grooming rake designed for breeds with thick, coarse far. And while this is a practical find for you (and your home), doggos also seem to find it soothing! Promising review: "FANTASTIC. My dog LOVES this grooming too. He sits there and just chills. The other tools that I used were definitely not his thing. If I could give this item a 10, I would." —Coach RoyGet it from Amazon for $14.95+ (available in a variety of colors). A cave bed if your pooch is anything like mine and demands to be covered on a whim but can't quite burrow under a blanket. This is the no-frills solution they've been waiting for you to buy. Promising review: "We bought this bed about a month ago for our boxer mix. She gets very chilly in the winters, even in the south. From day one she has loved this bed. She dive rolls into it. The added bonus is that she now prefers to sleep in what we call her 'taco' and doesn't jump in our bed at all anymore. So all of us are sleeping better." —ShellyATLGet it from Amazon for $39.59+ (available in two sizes). A hair-removing glove that is the best kind of grooming tactic. Why? All you'll have to do is give your doggo some pets and they'll be snoring before you know it. Promising review: "My dog has long fur (double coat) and she tolerates it when I use the slicker brush, but she actually relaxed and settled in when I brushed her with this. The only drawback, which wasn't enough to take off a whole star, is that the velcro has sharp corners and pokes my wrist a little when I move around. That won't stop me from using it, though, because my dog gives it two enthusiastic paws up." —Amazon CustomerGet it from Amazon for $7.99. Waterproof booties to protect their toe beans from rain, sleet, snow, debris, and hot pavement. And now that summer's here, it's great for something my dog personally refuses to do: hike. Promising review: "I bought these for my staffy. We live in New England, and in the winter, the trail behind our home gets very wet and then freezes over, which cuts up her feet on our walks several times a day. Her paws get so raw that she will limp around the house and leave trails of blood. We tried wrapping her paws in vet wrap, different barrier ointments, etc, but it was never enough or she would lick/chew it off. I never thought she would tolerate boots, but we were desperate enough to try. She ended up doing great with them and was so excited to play outside with our Shepherd mix! She does periodically stop and try to bite at the boots but is easily redirected. The boots are easy to put on her and stay on really well, though she is a very submissive dog so it might be more difficult with other dogs." —Anonymous Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in eight sizes and seven colors). A snuffle toy made with a hidden squeaker and blissfuly waterproof fabric, ideal for drool-y dogs that expect you to throw their toy over and over when it's covered in slobber. Promising review: "It's adorable, durable…and so, so cute! My dog has been loving it since it arrived a week ago. It's still here, too, so that's a plus!!! I'd re-order this toy gladly. Puppy approved!!" —Lastminmom Get it from Target for $12.99. A portable paw cleaner to avoid dragging the remnants of outside into your clean home. Just add a little water, put each paw inside to be scrubbed by the silicone bristles, and that's it. Clean paws within seconds and helps your pooch avoid bath time. An activity mat designed with puzzles that require solving in order for your pooch to get their treat, helping them to remain boredom-free *and* hone their foraging skills. A dog ball launcher to play fetch without the burden of having to run after every single tennis ball you throw into the ether. A magic link leash that can be worn as belt, a crossbody, or around your wrist, which is great because a: it means they won't be able to run off and b: will prevent you from pulling their collar.

The Best Walking Shoes For Older Adults

For people who walk frequently, choosing the right walking shoe is super important to prevent your feet from aching and developing or worsening painful foot conditions. But wearing the proper supportive footwear is especially essential for older adults, said Dr. Chanel J. Perkins, a board-certified podiatrist based in Texas. 'Supportive shoes help maintain balance and alignment, which are necessities in this population since they are at a greater fall risk,' she told us. 'They also help decrease pedal muscle fatigue and overall soreness since biomechanics forces are evenly distributed throughout the shoe.'Perkins described the best shoes for older people as ones that are lightweight and breathable to prevent sweaty feet. They should also be well-cushioned, have good traction on the soles to prevent slips and falls and be easy to get on and off. If you or a loved one is in need of a new pair of walking shoes, consider the ones recommended below by Perkins and other podiatrists. A pair of Brooks sneakers that older women can't stop buying This Brooks Ghost sneaker is known for its signature cushioning, which provides firm support and a midsole that evenly absorbs the impact of your foot, no matter how it lands. We couldn't help but include this sneaker as an editor's pick. In previous reporting, Shopping editor Emily Ruane noted that her mom and her daughters' nanny — both active older women in their 60s — rely on the exact same pair of Ghost running shoes to stay light on their feet while they garden, run after kids (and grandkids) and do a whole lot of mother has undergone bunion surgery and has hammer toes, and likes that the shoes are available in wide widths to accommodate her custom orthotics. She finds the toe box to be roomy and well-constructed enough to comfortably accommodate her feet. (She's actually on her second pair; the first lasted her almost four years before she needed to replace them a little under a year ago.) Ruane's children's nanny logs thousands of steps a day, and she told her that, '[t]hese shoes are the best.' And our readers (and reviewers) tend to them from Amazon for $148.77+ in women's (available in sizes 5–13, four widths, and 14 colors) or from Zappos for $149.95 in men's (available in sizes 7–15, four widths, and eight colors). Skechers Go Walk Arch Fit sneaker Dr. Mireille Blanchette, a board-certified podiatrist based in New Jersey, recommended this lace-up Skechers sneaker because of its comfort and the fact that it's machine washable to help prevent bacteria buildup. "Elders can sometimes develop foot fungus because they might not always be able to clean well between the toes and that can create a great environment for fungus," she shoe is designed with a pull tab on the back to make it easier to put on and take off and is lined in breathable fabric to promote air circulation. It comes in multiple colors and in women's sizes 5.5–10.5 and men's sizes 7–15, both with wide options available. Promising review: "Bought these shoes for my mom. She needed something with good support that was energizing and helped with footing and movement. These shoes did the job. Her footing, posture and movement have improved tremendously. I bought them for her because I own a pair and have excellent wear with them." —MomGet them from Zappos in women's for $74.53+ (originally $90) or in men's for $100. Men's Adidas Ultraboost 20 sneaker Perkins recommended this Adidas option, which is made from recycled plastics and has supportive interior padding and great grip on the sole. It comes in men's sizes 4–14 and in multiple colors, including black, orange, black/purple, gray/mint and white. It has a sock-like fit and a "boosting" feature, a super responsive midsole that makes it easier to take steps. Promising review: "Extraordinarily comfortable shoe. I have flat feet, getting older with hip creaks here and there. My legs and joints feel great when wearing these shoes. Ultraboost is impressive stuff." —Amazon customerGet them from Amazon for $118.99+. Women's Orthofeet Francis walking shoe Available in multiple colors, including blue, pink, maroon, gray and black, this walking shoe has a cushioned footbed and orthotic insole designed to help those with various foot conditions such as plantar fasciitis. It also has a roomy toe box for added comfort and bunion and hammertoe relief. "The slip-on design makes it perfect for seniors who have a hard time bending over to tie a shoe or for those with arthritis in the hands who find difficulty with tying laces," Perkins comes in women's sizes 5–12, with narrow, wide and extra-wide and extra-extra-wide review: "I bought these walking shoes for my sister's birthday. She just turned 69 years old last week and she called me today to say that she thought these shoes were the best shoes she had ever put on. She has bad feet and see's a podiatrist on a regular schedule. She said she can wear them all day and not feel any foot pain." —Tony them from Amazon for $114.99. New Balance 990v56 shoe For a shoe that offers stability and supportive cushioning, look no further than this New Balance shoe recommended by Dr. Gary Evans, a podiatrist based in New York City. It has a breathable lining, durable rubber outsole and a footbed that provides proper cushioning and arch support. It comes in black, gray and navy and in women's sizes 5–12 and men's sizes 7–16. Promising review: "This is my 8th pair of 990's! Wife and I are 'exercise walkers.' We are now older and are x-triathletes. Aerobic paced walking of 3-7 miles per day is what we enjoy. My 990's are fantastic for preventing injuries and providing a comfortable walk." —No NGet them from Zappos for $199.95 in women's or in men's. Women's Dr. Comfort Victory shoe This Dr. Comfort shoe checked off multiple boxes on Perkins' list of things to look for when buying a shoe for older adults, including its spacious toe box, lightweight design and Velcro strap. "The most common complaint I hear from my senior patients is that a shoe is too heavy for them to wear comfortably. Any no-tie, slip-on or Velcro design that allows easy on and easy off is also great for seniors who have a hard time bending over," she said. The adjustable strap closure allows you to get a more customized fit. The design also has a protective toe box that can help prevent pain from toe stubbing. It comes in white and pink and in women's sizes 4–12 with wide and extra-wide review: "I have problems with width in shoes. This fits better than expected. Comfortable in toe box and I even have a skip in my step thanks to the heel shock absorbing the bounce. Easy to put on with the velcro strap as the sole support to hold the shoe in place. Do not skip owning these shoes!" —snoopymavenGet them from Amazon for $165. Saucony Omni Walker 3 shoe This classic, minimalist walking shoe recommended by Evans has all the features your feet need to stay comfy throughout the day, including a lightweight insole, rubber soles for good grip and a full-grain leather upper.

The support for the foot and ankle is extraordinary. My legs don't feel fatigued when I wear these shoes. My back and hips don't hurt either. I have rheumatoid arthritis, a repaired tendon in my knee and a small tear in an ankle (I know right...) but these shoes make me feel well supported when walking and comfortable. I highly recommend." — AunieGet them from Amazon in women's for $56.48+ and from Zappos in men's for $78.05 (originally $110). Skechers Glide Step shoe This lace-up shoe is made of breathable mesh and has a removable Skechers Arch Fit insole.

Sketchers has always been the most comfortable, but these 'Glide Step' shoes are more comfortable than my bedroom slippers. What more can I say." —AnonymousGet them from Zappos for $80.16 (originally $91) in women's or in men's from DSW for $77.99.
