According to my crystal ball, your life will soon be filled with quicker morning routines and shoes that feel like "walking on clouds."
1. A desk-friendly HappyLight sunlamp to add a bright glow to any room that doesn't get a lot of direct sunlight — so it can basically be spring all year as far as your bedroom is concerned. It's meant to help improve your mood and energy levels, meaning you can spend the day getting stuff done instead of counting down the minutes until your daily hot girl walk.

Promising review:"I work from home at night. I never see the light of day during the winter. This light has been a joy to have and gives great light at my desk to work with, with the benefit of mimicking sun exposure. It's very easy to use and to replace bulbs." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (clip the $10 off coupon on the product page for this price).
2. A set of Lock Laces that'll turn all of your sneakers into slip-ons, which is the height of convenience and also super helpful for people with limited motor skills. Now you can just slip your shoes on, pull the toggle cord to your preferred tightness, and go about your day!
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review:"I can't believe just how pumped I am over these shoelaces! They make me wanna slip my shoes off and on just because I can! They make my shoes more comfortable than I could have ever imagined (due to the elasticity). I have them set up to just the right amount of tightness to where I can just slip my shoes on and off without having to adjust them at all (and they are plenty tight). Welcome to the 21st century!" — dm925
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 17 colors).
3. A popular Levoit air-purifier — it has a three-stage filtration system to help capture the pesky allergens floating around your home that are in a full-on war with your sinuses. This will even help capture pet hair if the change of weather is causing your fluffy friend to shed more fur than you even knew was on its little body.
Promising review:"This air purifier is great! I bought it because there was a lot of pollen and cat dander in my house which was making my asthma flare-up. Since I've got this air purifier, the cat odor has decreased, and I don't need to use my inhaler as much. The noise is very quiet and not interruptive for me. Overall, I love this item and totally recommend it." — Dana
Get it from Amazon for $69.99+ (available in two colors).
4. A BrüMate tumbler with a feature you've been praying to the tumbler gods for: a straw lid that doesn't leak!!! Yes, you can turn this baby upside down like a DQ Blizzard, and you won't lose a single drop. The thought of throwing this in my giant tote bag and not having to worry about spills is honestly bringing a tear to my eye. And of course, it has all the usual features you'd know and love by now — a handle, cup holder–friendly fit, and insulation that keeps drinks cold for over 24 hours.
Bonus – this is dishwasher-safe!
Promising review:"The BrüMate is an absolute game-changer for anyone looking for a reliable drink container. I ts 100% leakproof design means you can confidently toss it into your bag without worrying about spills, making it perfect for on-the-go use. The durability is outstanding; it holds up well against daily wear and tear, maintaining its sleek look and performance. Most impressively, it keeps beverages cold for a full 24 hours. Whether you're hiking, at the office, or relaxing by the pool, the BrüMate is the ultimate companion for keeping your drinks icy cold. Highly recommend!" — Horace Dixon
Get it from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in 21 colors and two sizes).
5. A cooling memory foam mattress topper that'll instantly upgrade your bed and have you feeling like you checked into The White Lotus for spring break... without the murder, of course. It's infused with temperature-regulating gel beads that capture and dissipate heat so you can sleep soundly and comfortably — even when you're bundled up under your thickest blanket.
Promising review:"After a week, my back pain was virtually gone. I didn't want to jump to conclusions, though, so I decided to give it more time. It's now been over a month, and the topper has held up perfectly; the back pain is still virtually nonexistent, and even better, I'm not waking up as sweaty, so I guess the gel in the topper is doing the trick as waking up in a sweat had been part of my issue. Simply put, I'm now sleeping through the night better and waking up feeling better, so I'd say this is definitely worth looking at if you're having back issues with your mattress." — David T.
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes twin–California king, two thickness levels, and with or without a cover).
6. And a medium-firm Coop Home Goods pillow with adjustable memory foam filling so you can customize the size and shape to your exact needs! It's designed for side, back, and side sleepers (so, basically everyone), and reviewers say it's breathable and retains its shape all night. The rest of 2025 is about to be filled with the best sleep you've ever had. 3-6-5 sleepy girl — nappin' that!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I hardly ever write reviews, but I have to for this. I saw this pillow on TikTok, and it got me curious, so I immediately came to Amazon. OMG, it's such a game-changer. I'm a side sleeper, and this pillow is heaven. It's some of the most comfortable sleep I have had in ages. I love it so much that I bought a second one and have my eye on the body pillow. Obsessed! You need this in your bedroom." — MT
Coop Sleep Goods is a small business specializing in pillows, pillowcases, and sleep products.
Get it from Amazon for $63.20+ (available in queen and king sizes, and three shapes).
7. And!! A cervical neck "pillow" that has a super catchy slogan: "10 minutes a day, keep neck pain away!" It features six massage nodes to help relieve pressure in your neck and a U-shaped curvature to help support and align your spine.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Mallory Mower has used this and says it's surprisingly comfy: After ages of looking at this thing and wondering if it was the real deal, I finally buckled and bought it. My husband and I both carry stress in our neck, and we're on our computers all day for work, so we needed some serious help. This is surprisingly comfortable to lay on. I use it 10 minutes a day and have noticed serious pain relief, and believe it is a great tool as I work on improving my posture.
If you have any neck or back issues, talk to your doctor before use.
Promising review:"I was very surprised at the quality of this neck and shoulder relaxer, especially at this price. It has a nice structure to it, but is also soft enough to cradle your neck in comfort. Just taking a few minutes to use this helps to improve my neck and shoulder pain greatly. This especially helps when you have slept on your neck wrong and have a Crick in your neck. Very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend it." — Cindy
Get it from Amazon for $19.79+ (available in six colors).
8. Eos' Cashmere Skin Collection Shave Oil — which is available in the same scent as the show-stopping, spectacular, unbelievably delicious Eos Vanilla Cashmere body lotion. If you can't tell, I'm in love with this scent, and the shave oil smells just as good AND helps prevent razor burn thanks to the silky smooth texture that allows your razor to glide like butter.
Dear reader, I have tried this and it is an 11/10. It's so easy to apply (it's more a thick gel when dispensed, but smooths out to a thin oil when applied) and my razor now glides across my skin like an Olympic ice skater. I also haven't experienced any irritation (which is rare for my delicate baby angel skin that freaks out if you just look at it the wrong way), and the extra touch of moisture left behind is a nice bonus. Also, I'm not sure if I've made this clear yet, but I really love the scent. Like, I want to cover everything in my life in this scent. I would like to awaken to a cloud of it spritzed in my face every morning. It is vanilla-caramel gourmand heaven.
Promising review: "I am absolutely loving this serum! I t creates the smoothest shave I've ever had, leaving my skin feeling incredibly soft and hydrated. The serum glides on easily, providing a close shave without any irritation or nicks. My razor moves effortlessly, and I'm impressed by how nourished my skin feels afterward. The light, refreshing scent is an added bonus! It's a must-have for anyone looking to upgrade their shaving routine and enjoy a comfortable, irritation-free experience. Highly recommend!" — Shay
Get it from Amazon for $7.97 (also available in two other scents).
9. Or Veet's sensitive hair removal gel that's formulated with aloe, so it's perfect for anyone who typically deals with redness and irritation after using razors or wax. It's also meant to provide longer-lasting results when compared to traditional shaving and reduce the chance of ingrowns. Be prepared to pat yourself on your smooth, hairless back!
www.amazon.com
It comes with a spatula for removing the cream! Just be sure to test a small area of your skin and make sure there are no adverse reactions for 24 hours.
Promising review:"I have been looking for a good hair removal for my sensitive skin, and this one is perfect. It has a great odor and leaves my skin feeling smooth and silky. It does not burn my skin at all, even when I leave it on for 15 minutes or more. This is definitely my new hair removal cream. I will recommend this one to everyone." — Crystal
Get it from Amazon for $9.47 (also available in a two-pack).
10. And a vegan ingrown hair oil so good at reducing post-shaving redness and irritation, you might just thank the UPS person who delivered your package every time you see them. The secret is tea tree oil (it'll help calm down any inflammation) and a blend of jojoba and grapeseed oil to add extra moisture and softness. And yes, it's designed to be safe to use on intimate areas! You don't have to tell the UPS person about that part, though.
Bushbalm

Promising review:" I've bought this product numerous times, and it never fails. I have no more ingrowns and it also helps so much with irritation after shaving!" — Pris

Get it from Amazon for Bushbalm for $26.
11. A pack of antibacterial paper soap sheets that will seriously come in handy when the public restroom you're using is out of that mysterious pink sludge they call soap. Just pull out a sheet, wet it, then get to lathering. The days of frantically asking everyone in sight for hand sani are long behind you.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I bought these to put into my bag/pocket to carry around, just in case. Sometimes public restrooms do not have soap, and that is extremely inconvenient. These come in super handy! One sheet is definitely enough for me, and it's so cool to watch it turn from a dry sheet of paper into sudsy soap with water added. I 100% recommend." — woolymammoth
Fomin is a small business specializing in cleaning products.
Get them from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three scents and various pack sizes).
12. A cordless portable bath jet spa — it'll basically give you the bubbling jacuzzi of your dreams without having to drop Jacuzzi money. Just attach this under the spout in your bathtub and then choose between "jet mode" or "bubble mode." Of course, you'll then need to choose between "read-with-a-glass-of-wine mode" or "zone-out-and-listen-to-SZA mode."
Promising review: "This lil' thing rocks! I didn't think it would be as powerful as it is, but my tub time now is sooo relaxing. It makes bubbles well as soothes you with that jet stream. If you like to soak for your health. I highly recommend this Lil powerhouse. Worth every penny." — TabbiJCMA
Get it from Amazon for $76.99 (available in three colors).
13. A Pikk-it tool designed to remove the tangled hair/fur that's lodged in your vacuum's roller brush, which is making it WAY less effective btw. Before you splurge on that new Dyson, give this a shot. You can also use it to spruce up your hairbrushes, so this is basically stray hair's worst enemy. Also, cleaning your cleaning appliances is a level of adulthood most never reach in their lifetime. Proud of you.
Promising review: "Between myself (medium long hair) and my overly fluffy cat, a lot of hair and fluff was continually getting caught up on the roller brush of my vacuum. I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great! Super quick to remove all the hair/fur — in virtually a minute, then back to vacuuming with my lovely Miele vacuum." — MKS
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
14. A very viral veggie chopper for anyone whose knife skills are worse than Kendall Jenner's. Just place your veggie on top of the interchangeable blades, press down on the lid, and you'll have a container full of perfectly chopped produce! More than 80,000 reviewers have upgraded their cooking game thanks to this genius gadget. Future you will be so proud at how many fresh veggies you're consuming.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
The 4-in-1 model comes with two chopping blades (one with small cubes and one with larger cubes) and two spiralizer blades (a julienne cutter and a ribbon cutter). You'll also receive a finger guard, two cleaning brushes, and two cleaning scrapers. All pieces are dishwasher-safe!
Promising review:"Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. This requires very little effort to cut through the food, and it has a generous container." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $29.97+ (available in five styles, four colors, and one with a stainless steel container).
15. And a grater with a built-in storage box from our very own Tasty collection, which is pretty genius if we do say so ourselves. You know how typical graters leave you with a Leaning Tower of Cheeza that you then have to awkwardly scrape off the cutting board? Well, this one grates right into an attached storage box with measurement markings, so you can grate the perfect amount and leave the rest for later.
Amazon
It comes with a coarse blade for grating cheese and veggies and a fine blade for grating chocolate and zesting citrus. You'll also get a blade cover for safe storage — and all parts are top-rack dishwasher-safe.
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
16. A no-scrub Wet & Forget weekly shower cleaner that's every lazy cleaner's biggest dream come true: there's literally zero scrubbing required. It'll stop soap scum and residue from forming before they have a chance to take over your entire tub. Just spray, walk away, and rinse 8-12 hours later.
www.amazon.com
Psst! Just be sure you start with a nice clean tub or shower. This isn't powerful enough for a deep-clean, but it will keep things looking fresh in between major cleaning sessions.
Promising review:"I saw this product on TikTok and decided to try it out for myself. The name doesn't lie — spray it on, shut the bathroom door, and in a few hours, the shower is 100 times cleaner. Usually, I'll let it sit overnight, and by morning, the visible grime on the shower is gone, including soap scum. I'll usually let the shower water rinse the residue out and then will take a bucket just to get everything off the shower walls. It is a bit slick if you try to get in the shower without rinsing the residue, but otherwise, it's a worthy cleaning staple in my house." — Tara D.
Get it from Amazon for $19.39+ (available in two scents and two sizes).
17. A genius brush and squeegee combo so you can just swipe all your countertop messes directly into the sink. It even has a built-in ledge so you can hang it when not in use. Your counters will no longer be a future picnic area for ants.
Amazon
Promising review:"LOVE THIS PRODUCT! Saves me so many paper towels, easily washed in the dishwasher, and the small size saves space! Will always have one of these on hand for sure!" — Prime Time Review
Get it from Amazon for $10.63.
18. A migraine relief cap you'll love so much you might just Google, "Can I marry an inanimate object?" You can throw it in the freezer or microwave for both hot and cold treatments, and you can also wear it as a sleep mask so you can enjoy some sweet overnight relief.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Read more about how temperature therapy can help with migraine prevention at Mayo Clinic.
Promising review: "I heard about it on TikTok, and I was skeptical. I put it in the freezer as soon as I got it in the mail. Then, out of nowhere, I felt a headache coming on. I pulled it out of the freezer, slipped it on, and I passed out. When I woke up, my migraine was gone. I now go to bed with it on almost every night. I love that it's a blackout mask. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!" — TheWalkFam
Get it from Amazon for $27.95+ (available in six colors and two-packs).
19. A magnetic bobby pin tray so they'll always be within easy reach, whether you need to secure that updo or hem those pants when you're in a rush. Imagine a future where you aren't scrambling for a bobby pin every time you need one!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I love this product. My bathroom drawer looks so organized now that my bobby pins aren't all over the place. I loved that it came with bobby pins which I had no idea would be included! It's nice to also have some new bobby pins!" — Monica
Blue Feather Products is a small business specializing in unique storage products.
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two colors).
20. A toilet wand with disposable cleaning heads (the cleaning solution is built-in — just activate with water!) that makes scrubbing the porcelain throne feel like less of a chore. The kit comes with six refill heads (and a handy dandy storage stand for the wand and refills) to get you started, so you can immediately say goodbye to that dirty toilet brush and get to scrubbing in about 30 seconds!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"So, we have a toilet that belongs to the cats. We don't use it, we don't look at it, we like to pretend it does not exist. Even with semiregular flushing, cat waste is pretty nasty stuff and builds up quickly in the bowl. One of these wands cleaned it up in a single session! Before-and-after pic attached (above)." — Whitney
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
21. A pair of Nippies, adhesive pasties over 30,000 reviewers swear by for feeling comfortable, secure, and supported. The medical-grade adhesive provides a strong waterproof hold, and they're entirely washable and reusable. Reviewers love them for tops and dresses that just don't work with a regular bra — and they come in several colors to match various skin tones.
Promising review:"So I decided to put these to the ultimate test for 4th of July underneath my white, semi-sheer swimsuit. I wore them out in the Florida heat in the ocean all day, and they did not budge or peel off. I thought for sure these would take skin off by the time I got home because I just couldn't believe they stayed on the entire day (humidity is real). I was able to remove them with ease. I washed them with warm water and soap and let them dry, and the next day, they were super sticky, like they were brand new out of the package again. Buying these forever." — Marisa
Get it from Amazon for $26.50.
BuzzFeed editor Natalie Brown swears by these pasties! Check out her Nippies review to learn more.
22. A TikTok-viral Odele air-dry cream so you can save all the time you spend with heat tools — this low-maintenance solution will give you bounce and volume in just a few scrunches. The instructions couldn't be more simple: work evenly into towel-dried hair and go! The hydrolyzed rice protein will help strengthen your strands and resist frizz for up to 24 hours.
Note: According to the brand, this is best for straight, wavy, curly, fine, and medium hair. Those with coarse or coily hair may prefer the brand's leave-in conditioner for extra moisture.
Check it out on TikTok here!
Promising review:"I have long, thick hair, which is a lot of work to blow dry! This product allows me to wash and go. It helps fight the frizzies from the humidity and adds a nice beach wave. It does not weigh your hair down, and it does not feel sticky at all. You can go several days without rewashing! I highly recommend this product! My stylist even bought it for her daughter, and they love it. And she is in a high-end salon with high-end products. Definitely a game changer, and you can't beat the price!!!!" — Diane
Odele is a woman-owned and operated small business specializing in hair care.
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
23. And a pomade hair wax stick — it'll be a major timesaver on those days when you want to smooth down flyaways, cowlicks, or set baby hairs into place. Just swipe it over any targeted areas you want to smooth, and it'll provide some seriously strong hold without any sticky residue. You'll wish you had this back in the day when getting ready for school, but now your hair will finally hold up in windy weather!
Promising reviews:"I saw this on YouTube and immediately wanted to try it. I have curly hair, which I love, but sometimes I just want to put it in a ponytail and go on with my day. This is a time saver for all those little hairs that tend to stick up or don't want to stay in place. I'm not a fan of hairspray, and this even smells nice. I believe it's a light coconut smell. Overall satisfied, and you don't need to use much. I took it with me on vacation, and it saved me time in the evening from having to deal with bad hair days." — Blanca Perez
"I have 4A-4B curls. When my hair is straight, there are a few spots that are a little frizzier than others, which, to me, isn't a big deal. Some flyaways, however, were the biggest reason why I got this. It lays the baby hairs and is a little bit of a heavier product. I will say you just have to be careful if you're not used to using heavy products. The first time I used it, I just put a little in my hands and then put it where it was needed." — Jay
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (also available in multipacks).
24. A duffel bag roomy enough to fit all the essentials for a weekend trip — you'll be so glad you don't have to lug a heavy suitcase around on any trips you take this year. The interior contains three pockets for organization and a bonus wet pocket to keep dirty laundry or soaked toiletries separate from your other clothes.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
It's water-resistant and has an adjustable long strap.
Promising review: "I recently went camping and was able to pack a lot into this bag. It zipped up easily. I love the color, it's almost a 'neutral pink' and not too 'look at me, I'm Barbie in the woods!' The shoulder strap was comfortable, and the handles were comfortable, too. It was snowing while unloading from the truck to the cabin, and despite this bag getting wet (and VERY cold), everything inside was very dry." — Smile Saurus
Get it from Amazon for $15.29+ (available in a variety of colors/styles and two sizes).
25. A styling station — because next to winter coats, heat tools are officially the second most annoying household item to store. It has slots for three different tools, a compartment in the back for power cords, and you can either place in your under-sink cabinet or hang it over your towel rack. A future without hair tools crowding your under-sink cabinet is possible!
Amazon
Promising review:"I have a ridiculously small bathroom and a super small vanity. After too many instances of my dryer and straightener falling to the floor, I went searching for an option to get them off the non-existent counter and onto the towel holder next to my sink. This product has done the trick — it helps me keep my counter space organized and provides me with a great, heat-resistant holder to place them in while I'm working through my hair. Highly recommend!" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24.95+ (available in four colors). Or, check out an over-the-cabinet-door styling station.
26. A handy double-sided brush that will scrub away at every nook and cranny of your utensils, because giving them a quick swipe with your sponge is really not cutting it. Your silverware will be so sparkly clean you'll almost feel bad for storing it away in the utensil drawer.
Amazon
Promising review:"I am really accident-prone! I used to cut myself frequently while washing my knives. It is so easy to clean them now! Just swish your knife through the brush, and you're done! The brush is thick, so it really does a thorough cleaning! This is one of the favorite purchases I've made in the last year!" — Kindle Customer Penny
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
27. A jar opening tool — it'll be an absolute lifesaver when that jar of Ragu is holding on to the lid like its life depends on it (to be fair, it kind of does). It has four different slots to help open a variety of jar sizes, and there's even a helpful hook at the top to help with pull-tab cans when it's a Chef Boyardee kind of night.
Promising review: " This is amazing! I wish I knew about this sooner! Makes opening any jar of any size so easy! Especially the ones with the airtight seal. Also, this is for anyone of any age or any strength… everyone can benefit. If you want to just make opening any jar effortless, you need this!" — Kim
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
28. A pair of Skechers Go Walk sneakers that reviewers say hold up for many years and many 10k step days. They're made with a super lightweight insole made with ~goga mat technology~ that provides some cushy comfort while still offering lots of support for walking and running. Also, several reviewers have compared these to walking on clouds, which is truly the highest compliment you can give to shoes.
Promising review: " I purchased these originally in May 2020, and I finally bought a second pair in April 2022. I chose these two years ago to help with the foot/knee/back pain I was having while walking on the hard concrete floors of my lab. They soon became my all-day, everyday shoes: at work, at home, and outside. The fabric upper is slightly stretchy, making it feel like the shoe is hugging your foot without binding. I have a large bunio,n and these are the only shoes I've worn that don't put pressure on it or have a seam in that area that causes pain. These sneakers have been through hundreds of hours of walking along with yard work and hiking. I have machine-washed them countless times (not recently, lol), and they've held up without fraying or shrinking. The fabric comes completely clean from the red clay we have here in the south, along with stains from oil and chicken poop (don't ask)." — Lauren C
Get it from Amazon for $64.95+ (available in sizes women's 5–13, in two widths, and 10 colors).
29. A "one tripper" shopping bag so spacious even Mary Poppins would be impressed. No really, it can replace up to four plastic shopping bags! It's strong and stretchy enough to carry heavy produce, soda bottles, and anything else you typically dread having to lug from the trunk to the front door.
Promising review:"Great, huge bag! This was exactly what I was looking for! I live in a walkable neighborhood and needed a large bag that is sturdy but packs small so that I am more likely to bring it with me. I also appreciate that the bags come in different colors!" — Ennierda
Me Mother Earth is a small business specializing in eco-friendly products and based in Nevada.
Get it from Me Mother Earth on Etsy for $11.99 (available in three colors).
30. A wire-free bra with a whopping 32,000+ rave ratings from reviewers who say it's super lightweight (like, you might forget you even have it on) while still feeling supportive. Oh — and the straps don't flip and get contorted throughout the day! Imagine not daydreaming about going home so you can finally take your bra off!!!
www.amazon.com
Promising review: " I recently tried this bra, and it has quickly become one of my favorites! The fit is perfect – true to size with just the right amount of stretch to ensure comfort all day. The straps are adjustable and don't dig in, even after wearing it for hours. The fabric is soft against the skin, and the breathability is great, so I never feel overheated. The support is amazing without feeling too constrictive. It gives a natural lift and keeps everything in place without any uncomfortable digging or shifting. I also love the design; it's sleek and subtle, making it perfect to wear under a variety of outfits." — Tzippy M
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 19 colors)
31. And a comfy sports bra — it has a breathable four-way stretch design that'll make you wonder how you put up with the less stretchy prison of your old sports bra. It's so comfy you'll probably still reach for this on the days when the only "sport" you're doing is channel surfing. It also has removable padding and easily adjustable straps so you can find your perfect fit instead of settling for the slightly too big bra you've been dealing with because you're no longer in the 30-day return period 😔.
Amazon
Promising review:"After trying a bunch of different sports bras and tops, I came across this one. I absolutely love it. It's super supportive and comfortable. The adjustable straps help make this the perfect fit." — Perrone
Get it from Amazon for $23.80 (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and seven colors)
32. A sinus rinse bottle, because your nostrils could be the setting for Osmosis Jones 2 with all the annoying allergens that are taking up residence in there. The squeeze bottle design lets you control the flow and pressure of the water, meaning the days of awkwardly tipping your head with a traditional Neti Pot are over. Imagine coming home and rinsing away all the gunk in your nose after a day at the botanical garden. Heaven.
www.amazon.com
Not only do you get the bottle but also three nozzles (two for adults and one for kids) and a 30-pack of nasal wash salt packs. Read more about nasal rinses and allergies at Mayo Clinic — including important info on using distilled or sterilized water.
Promising review:"I love the design of this. Very practical and easy to use/clean. If you haven't used a Neti pot before, the first time is a lot like getting dunked in a swimming pool. You have to learn to relax your nasal passage and become accustomed to the water flowing from one nostril into your sinuses and then out the other nostril. By your second attempt, this becomes easy. After a week of using this, I noticed my ear canals were clearer. The first use left my nose clean and clear. Seriously, if you are suffering from congestion/allergens, try this (or another Neti pot) out. It is simple logic. Flush your entire nasal passage and reduce allergens. Nothing fancy, just cleaning your pipes." — New to this
Get it from Amazon for $13.85 (available in three colors).
33. A bottle of Crep Protect spray to basically turn your go-to sneakers into waterproof rain boots. One coat of the quick-drying formula will repel water and stains for up to four weeks, so you can frolic and splash around in as many puddles as you want without ruining your favorite white kicks.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Tried this product because of the reviews. It did not disappoint! Sprayed our running shoes before a long trip to France. We had lots of rain and only realized after getting home that we NEVER had wet feet! Every new pair will get treated before they're worn!" — Richard L.
Get it from Amazon for $16.
34. A bottle of Rain-X water repellent so your windshield wipers won't have to go into hyper-speed just to clear away that pesky afternoon shower on your way home from work (it's been a long enough day already). It'll create a protective invisible coating that repels water so that it forms into small beads and glides away quickly and smoothly.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
It works best when applied to a clean windshield and should not be used on plastic or surfaces treated with anti-scratch or anti-protective coatings.
Promising review:"My dad loves rain-X so much he would buy a T-shirt with their logo if he could. He's used this on my car, and it's great if you have to drive in the rain — I would especially recommend it if you get a headache from having to have rapid windshield wipers on. This repels the rain, so when you are driving, it just glides right off the top of your windshield, so you don't have to use your wipers as much. COLD CLIMATE PEOPLE: If you get frost, sleet, ice, etc., on your windshield, it comes off so much easier if you have rain-X on. I've seen my dad put this on my friend's vehicles when they park outside our house because he wants to share the joy of rain-X with people." — G Tiff

The Best Pool Floats, According To Forbes Vetted Staff
Swimming season is here, and if you're cooling off in a pool, the best pool floats will keep you bobbing happily along—with some fun extra features, too. Pool floats can range from simple devices to elaborate, multi-person, motorized designs. Lying on one can be a wonderful way to relax in the water so you can literally take a load off: Some floats include cushioned headrests, handy cupholders for your chilled beverage of choice or enough space to float alongside a friend. We polled the Forbes Vetted team to find out which pool floats they've been loving this season and rounded them up below. We polled the Forbes Vetted staff for their thoughts on the best pool floats so you can lounge in ... More style this summer. Illustration: Forbes / Photos: Retailers While pool floats can be a fun way to level up your lounging, keep in mind that they aren't safety devices. Always swim safely and with supervision as needed. With that said, here are the best pool floats the Forbes Vetted staff recommends. Best Motorized Pool Float Amazon PoolCandy Splash Runner Pro 2.0 Motorized Pool Lounger Shop At Amazon Dimensions: 66 x 43 inches | Weight: 12 pounds | Colors: Blue | Warranty: 30 days This next-level, motorized pool float will let you cruise seamlessly around the pool. 'I hesitate to admit how fun this motorized float from PoolCandy can be,' says staff writer Steve John, who's used the 2.0 version of this float. 'If you're okay with not taking yourself too seriously—and not being taken too seriously—then there's really no better way to kick back, relax and float in abject comfort and laziness.' It holds up to 350 pounds and comes with a 30-day warranty, too. These floats seem to be popular, and we've noticed stock fluctuating; if this version sells out, PoolCandy also makes a 9v Motorized Deluxe Pool Lounger with a similar design. Best Hammock-Style Pool Float Amazon Aqua 4-in-1 Monterey Hammock Pool Float Shop At Amazon Dimensions: 44 x 26 inches | Weight: 0.85 pounds | Colors: 7 | Warranty: 30 days A hammock-style pool float is versatile—you can sit, lay or lean on it. 'My family loves these, particularly for how easy they are to pack and take on vacation,' says supervising deals and coupons editor Kara Cuzzone. 'They hold you up similar to a noodle, but the mesh hammock adds a little more support.' The Monterey Hammock comes in an array of bright colors and size variations (you can get a wider lounger, too), as well as in multi-packs so you can get some for the whole family. This float supports up to 250 pounds. Best Carpet-Style Pool Float Aqua Lily Pad Aqua Lily Pad 15-Foot Water Carpet Shop at Dick's Sporting Goods Dimensions: 6 feet x 15 feet x 1⅜ inches | Weight: 25 pounds | Colors: 1 | Warranty: 1 year If you're looking for a pool float to hold a crowd, this one comes highly recommended. 'My preferred float has become a lily pad–style floating mat,' says senior distribution strategist Kristina Bornholtz. 'My family doesn't have a pool, but we do have a lake house, and we've abandoned most of our inflatable floaties in favor of a 15-foot lily pad that the whole crew can lounge on.' Aqua Lily makes an even bigger, 18-foot version of this float, too, if you really want to max out. The 15-foot version is designed to hold seven to eight adults, or 1,050 to 1,200 pounds of distributed weight. Best Roomy Float Amazon Funboy Giant Inflatable Luxury Yacht Speed Boat Pool Float Shop At Amazon Dimensions: 9 feet long (width not listed) | Weight: 9.25 pounds | Colors: 1 | Warranty: 30 days For a thematically fun but still supportive float, this boat-shaped option is a winner. 'I don't have a pool but live close to a very calm beach, and I just love the Funboy Inflatable Yacht,' says updates writer Claire Epting. 'I actually got this to use at my Love Island-themed birthday party on the beach a few years back, and I've used it several times since then. It makes such a statement! I use the front compartment to store drinks, a Bluetooth speaker and my phone. A pro tip is to use a sandbag anchor to keep you from floating out to sea.' This float holds up to 200 pounds. Best Upgraded Noodle Float Amazon Wow World of Watersports First Class Foam Pool Noodle Shop At Amazon Dimensions: 46 x 5.5 inches | Weight: 2 pounds | Colors: Four | Warranty: 1 year The classic noodle has gotten an upgrade with this extra-buoyant design. 'I've used these foam noodles at a neighbor's pool a few times and really like them,' says assistant deals editor Jordan Thomas. 'They don't look special, but they're much thicker, cushier and more buoyant than your classic noodle. You also don't have to inflate them, so you can just keep a stack ready to go.' She recommends storing them in the shade, though; in her experience, she's seen these stick together when left in the hot sun. Best Novelty Pool Float The Home Depot Swimline Giant Flamingo Pool Float Shop at The Home Depot Dimensions: 46 x 5.5 inches | Weight: 2 pounds | Colors: 4 | Warranty: 1 year A statement pool float adds delight to any pool day but gets extra bonus points when it's comfortable. 'I bought this flamingo float for my brother for his birthday a few years back originally as a joke, and it has become an absolute family favorite every summer (my parents live on a lake),' says director of features and special projects Kim Peiffer. 'Everyone loves this float. It is absolutely huge, and when we bring it out at the end of our pier we always have boats stop and ask us where we got it. Kids also love this float.' This flamingo-float has room for two, and doesn't list a weight capacity. Best Value Pool Noodle Target Sun Squad Pool Noodle Shop At Target Dimensions: 50 x 2.25 x 2.25 inches | Weight: .25 pounds | Colors: Varies | Warranty: None I'm a simple girl, and I like a simple pool float. This minimalist noodle is lightweight and easy to pack into a car for transport, or even to bend into a tote bag to walk to the pool. These noodles are so affordable that you'll need to order for local pickup. While pool noodles offer buoyancy, these don't list a weight capacity. I like to double them up, too. Best Noodle Floats Amazon Oodles of Noodles Deluxe Foam Pool Swim Noodles - 6 Pack Shop At Amazon Dimensions: 9 x 2.5 inches | Weight: .4 pounds | Colors: 14 | Warranty: None If you're keen on getting pool noodles for delivery, or want a few to share with friends or pool guests, this variety pack comes in a set of 6 and will let you mix and match colors. The brand also makes a Jumbo size with a larger diameter. Best Baby Float Amazon SwimWays Baby Spring Float Shop At Amazon Dimensions: 34 x 30 x 20.5 inches | Weight: 1.7 pounds | Colors: 3 | Warranty: None If you're looking for a baby pool float, this one offers support and shade. 'It's the first year my 1-year-old can go in the pool, so I picked up this float,' says senior updates editor Karen Tietjen. 'It's foldable, and since only the outside rim holds air, it can be inflated by mouth super quickly. I like the security of the harness and the added canopy for extra sun protection. The float holds him up but is still close enough to splash in the water, and it's also a nice way to give us parents a few (mostly) hands-free moments while enjoying the water.' The float packs down flat and also comes with a handy carrying bag. While this float doesn't list a weight limit, it's recommended for babies ages 8 to 24 months. How To Choose A Pool Float When it comes to choosing a pool float, you'll want to keep a few factors in mind. Many pool floats are affordable, so you can always get a few to suit your mood or the vibe, whether you're lounging solo or hosting a pool party. Size And Weight Capacity When you're choosing a pool float, check out the dimensions and weight limits if you want to share a seat with friends, partners or family. Most floats indicate how many people or how much weight they can hold. Before jumping on one, we recommend checking the manufacturer's guidelines to make sure you'll get the most life out of your float. Keep in mind that pool floats aren't safety devices. Portability Some floats are easier to carry than others: They can be big, bulky and even heavy, or they can deflate and pack down to fit easily in a tote bag. If you're transporting pool floats to and from a local pool, for example, you'll want to consider portability before purchasing. Inflation Needs Oftentimes, what makes one of these pool devices float is air. You may need to blow up an inflatable float, and depending on its size, a device like a pump may come in handy. You can buy an electric pump , similar to one you'd use to inflate an air mattress. Alternatively, you can use a hand pump like you would with a sports ball, a bicycle pump or an electric pump specifically intended for pool floats . Always read a pool float's instructions for how to best inflate it. How To Store Pool Floats Pool floats are designed to get wet, but it's key to properly dry and store them to prevent their materials from breaking down over the years. That way, they'll be ready to go next swimming season. Here are some tips to keep in mind about how to store pool floats. Clean And Dry Your Floats Before putting away a wet item like a pool float, it's key to clean and dry it so it doesn't harbor mold or mildew. Floatie Kings , a brand that makes custom pool floats, recommends spraying floats down with dish soap and a garden hose, then letting them completely dry before packing them up. Leslie's Pool Supplies offers some additional suggestions using vinegar and water or baking soda and water solutions. You can also towel off floats to dry them. Don't Let Them Bake In The Sun Sun exposure can cause materials to fade, crack or even meld together. While you can let your floats dry out for a short window, store them for longer periods of time in shaded or covered areas. Leslie's Pool Supplies advises that keeping pool floats shaded will help keep them from cracking or degrading. Fold, Pack And Store When it comes to storage, deflate and neatly pack your any inflatables. Pool supply brands like Floatie Kings and Leslie's Pool Supplies offer differing advice on whether you should store your pool floats in a ventilated or airtight container. You can consider open-weave mesh or plastic crates or baskets, or sealed plastic bins. Storing inflatables on a rack or shelf if available is also an option. Whichever you choose, make sure your floats are dry before putting them away for the season.
