30 Amazon "Most Wished-For" Products You'll Wish For Too
The new Stanley Ice Flow FlipStraw 2.0 — it still has all the insulation that made the OG Stanley such an icon, but now it comes with a built-in straw for maximum convenience. It's also made with ~AeroLight Technology~, which in regular terms means it's 33% lighter than other stainless steel bottles (holding an original Stanley is basically a full arm workout). Oh, and did I mention it's leak-resistant and can keep your drink cold for up to 24 hours?!
Laneige's Neo Blurring Powder that'll instantly mattify you, keep oils at bay throughout the day, and provide a soft blurring effect that looks great on its own or over makeup! Especially if you have a foundation that's a bit too ~radiant~ for your liking — this will tone it down and stop you from looking shinier than a disco ball.
A pair of waterproof solar-powered globe lights so you can illuminate your outdoor space year-round — festive lights are not just for the holidays!! These are solar powered, so all you have to do is let them charge up during the day and bask in their ambient glow at night.
Skala's Mais Cacho Hair 2-in-1 Conditioning Treatment that's truly a multitasking marvel. You can use it as an in-shower conditioner by applying it to clean hair and rinsing out after three minutes, or you can apply it as a leave-in treatment for all-day moisture that won't weigh your curls down.
A tub of dual-textured toner pads from K-beauty brand Medicube — it uses the power of lactic and salicylic acid to wipe away dead skin cells and help reduce the appearance of pores and blackheads. After cleansing, use the textured side for a deep exfoliation, then flip to the smooth side to soothe and mop up any excess oil.
A Simple Modern rubber tote bag that dares to ask the question, "What if the Bogg Bag wasn't nearly $100?" The answer is this waterproof, durable design that's ridiculously easy to clean, so it's bound to become your go-to beach bag, workout bag, picnic bag... you get the gist. There's even a detachable zipper pocket for your phone or other small items you want easy access to. No more getting bogged down with expensive, trendy bags, amirite?! I'll see myself out.
Touchland Body & Hair Mist — yes, this is the same brand behind the TikTok-famous hydrating hand sanitizers! If you've ever tried one of those aesthetically pleasing hand sanis, you know they smell delightful, so it only makes sense they now come in body mists. Each mist is infused with hyaluronic acid to lightly hydrate your skin, and you can even spritz it in your hair for a quick refresh and a touch of moisture.
A gold-plated station necklace from Pavoi that reviewers are comparing to more expensive brands like Quince and Dorsey — except this won't run you $400+. Layer this one with other pieces when you're in your maximalist era, or wear it alone and let it have the spotlight all to itself. Either way, you will get compliments.
A crevice-cleaning tool reviewers are raving over thanks to its comfortable nonslip handle and elongated bristles that are perfect for cleaning hard-to-reach areas, like window tracks, keyboards, toilet seats, grout, and the very scary nastiness that's lurking around your faucet.
A pack of two dark spot corrector soap bars packed with tons of vitamin C and turmeric — aka the ultimate superhero ingredients for potentially brightening and reviving dull skin. Reviewers have had luck using this on both the face and body — but we recommend giving it a patch test first on a small area to see how your skin reacts. All good? Then start sudsing away!
A pair of stylish summer sandals — if Birkenstock Madrid Big Buckle sandals are Isabella, consider these Lizzie McGuire. These have a 100% genuine leather upper, a 100% genuine suede insole, and a natural cork footbed. What more could you need? How about adjustable straps for a roomier fit! This is truly 🎵 what dreams are made of. 🎵
An Anua pore-clearing cleansing oil that's specifically designed to help regulate your sebum production and break down blackheads, making it a great option for all my fellow oily-skinned peeps. It also helps break down makeup, so you can finally stop wasting money on makeup-removing wipes!
A spacious lay-flat makeup bag, which is what I imagine Dora the Explorer would trade her backpack for as an adult. This clever design holds it all in a surprisingly slim profile, then opens up flat so you can see all your makeup. Yes, even the tiny mascara sample that typically gets lost at the bottom of your current cosmetic bag.
An eye cream from mega popular K-beauty brand Beauty of Joseon — it features retinol to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and niacinamide to brighten. Dab it on as part of your night routine, or swipe some on before applying your go-to concealer for an even base.
A flowy skort because we should all be channeling our inner Hannah Montana and striving for the best of both worlds. Torn between twirling in a flowy skirt and the comfort (and thigh-chafe protection!!) of shorts? Now you can have 'em both, and reviewers say the material is lightweight but not see-through.
A set of 10 retractable Crayola markers — wait, how long have these been a thing?! Do you know how many markers child-me had to toss because the cap went rolling under the stove, never to be seen again?! Well, today's kids (and kids at heart) can simply give these a satisfying click once they're done coloring, and today's parents can rest assured that these markers will last through dozens of arts and crafts sessions.
A slim two-slice toaster for anyone who loves carbs and extra counterspace in equal measure. This is small enough to squeeze between the other appliances on your counter, yet it's still big enough to fit two slices of bread, an English muffin, bagels, or whatever else your inner carb gremlin desires.
The new NeeDoh "Dream Pop" fidget toy from the makers of the wildly popular Needoh Nice Cube (which went triple platinum on last year's Stocking Stuffer charts, but is totally a year-round must-have). You can squeeze and stretch this all you want, then watch it return to its original shape. It even comes with a cute stand so it'll be ready to grab any time you need a fidget break.
A wide-leg petal pant that's at once fashionable and super comfy — a rare feat in the world of pants. You get all the cozy features on your wish list (pockets, elastic waist, super soft fabric) and a flowy design that screams, "I'm casual and effortless, yet also extremely in tune with FashionTok."
A super absorbent Muddy Mat to stop dirty paw prints in their tracks! It may look like a simple doormat, but pet owners say this one actually traps dirt and water from their pup's paws when coming back inside on rainy days. Oh, and it also works on kids/spouses/roomies/etc. who simply can't be bothered to wipe their feet off. Just take deep breaths, the Muddy Mat has you covered.
An Eos body lotion that I GUARANTEE will make applying lotion the best part of your daily routine. The formula is lightweight (no really, it absorbs almost instantly) yet still leaves your skin feeling moisturized and silky soft. The 🍓 Strawberry Dream ☁️ scent is a summer fave, but you really can't wrong with any of them.
A satin bonnet so silky smooth it's inspired thousands of reviewers to leave a 5-star rating. Those satisfied reviewers love that it's super soft (yes, the inside is also lined with satin!) and roomy enough for long hair. And all my fellow hot sleepers will be relieved to know it's breathable enough to wear all night long!
A colorful crystal suncatcher that's perfect for any room in your home — except maybe your wfh space. It's so shiny and enchanting that you might just stare at it all day and get zero work done. If that happens, just send a pic to your boss. I'm sure they'll understand.
A trio of seamless rib-knit cropped tanks so stretchy and cozy, you'll wish they came in a pack of seven so you can have one for each day of the week. They're basically tailor-made for low-key workouts, but they're also just as good for running errands or lounging around the house.
A set of magnetic spice shelves that'll make all my fellow tool-challenged folks jump for joy!! No scary screwdriver necessary here, just plop these on the side of your fridge and fill 'em up with your go-to spices. Oh, and these can hold up to 8 pounds, so no worries about your turmeric taking a tumble onto the floor.
Londontown's illuminating nail concealer, which is basically a real-life filter for discoloration and ridges. Each shade gives just a slight hint of color to give your nails a freshly manicured look — though you can build it up with additional layers for a bolder look.
And OPI's RapiDry Quick Dry Nail Polish that dries more quickly than... actually, it already dried before I could think of a clever example!! One minute is all it takes — yes, just 60 seconds — to get a fully-dried veil of vibrant color that'll help you hold off on that expensive gel set you've been meaning to get.
A pair of rounded square aviator sunglasses to add a retro-chic vibe to all of your outfits. They're so lightweight you might forget you're even wearing them, but the influx of "Where did you get those?!" comments will remind you!
Bio-Collagen's Real Deep sheet mask, which works overnight to refresh your skin. No, really, it's designed to be worn while you sleep — it's transfer-resistant, so it won't leave a mess on your pillow! It's infused with hyaluronic acid to hydrate, collagen to maximize absorption and minimize the appearance of pores, and probiotics to strengthen the skin's barrier. Best of all, it turns transparent when your skin is done absorbing the serum, so you'll know when it's ready to take off.
A Frida Baby rinse cup that's on basically every parent's wishlist for making bath time an absolute breeze. The spout creates a gentle rainfall effect to help make the rinsing process less overwhelming for babies who are a bit suspicious of this whole H2O business. You can also use the other side for a slightly heavier "waterfall" pour that's still gentle enough for even the fussiest toddler. I'm gonna be honest with you, reader — this looks so relaxing I kind of want one for myself.

Pinterest's growing demographic: Men
Young men are joining Pinterest in record numbers, the company's inaugural trend report on men found. Why it matters: Their most frequent searches on the platform — dressing for Pilates, upping their skincare game and being better parents — contrasts with coverage of their online habits and hyper-masculine stereotypes. The way they are using the platform for "aspirational, aesthetic and positive discovery," Mike Delmoro, senior manager of creator and media relations, tells Axios, "largely rejects the toxicity you might find elsewhere online." By the numbers: Men make up a record one-third of Pinterest's total global audience of 570 million active users, the company said. Zoom in: Men's searches on Pinterest spiked in key categories across lifestyle, family and style, according to internal search data collected between Feb. 2024 and 2025. Pilates (+75%) and rock climbing aesthetic (+95%) inquiries were way up. Same for electrolytes (+45%) and hydration (+50%). Men were also interested in how to "grow hair faster" (+150%), develop a "healthy hair routine" (+45%) and dry skin care routine (+45%). They sought out information on "male makeup" (+50%) and "male nail art designs" (+115%). "Pinterest is typically seen as a place for people to go for inspiration for fashion and home decor. But these were really interesting areas for searches among men, because they're kind of outside of those typical use use cases," Delmoro says. Across fashion, men looked for "goth guy outfits," grunge style and alternative fashion. They were interested in tech and personal finance, too, with huge jumps in searches for "3D printer designs," "podcast studio background," artificial intelligence, "investing" and "budget planning." "Instead of men coming to the platform to look for — like, wedding inspiration, big life events —then logging off after that, they're coming back repeatedly to search for inspiration for things that they do every day, like get ready for work and get ready for the gym," Delmoro says. Parenting is something men are also trying to get right. Their searches for "milestone pictures" — photos that document babies' earliest months — and "smart parenting" were up 415% and 125%, respectively. The big picture: Pinterest, where users can create, discover and "pin" mostly visual content on customizable "boards," is commonly associated with women (and especially brides). It's less of a social discourse space than X or Threads, and less driven by social currency and validation than Instagram or TikTok.

Tan lines are back in fashion. But can you get the look safely?
"I am literally going to apply this fake tan all over my bikini top," Jemma Violet says, as she smears chocolate brown mousse over her chest, neck and halter-neck bikini. I'm watching a TikTok video in which the beauty influencer is explaining how to develop a vibrant set of tan lines - without sunbathing. "Make sure you do your arms and everything... and then wait a couple of hours before washing it off." A flash frame later and Jemma is showing off two very visible white stripes connected to two white triangles poking out of the top of her boob tube. Tan lines glowing, job done. Back in the 90s, I remember the abject horror of having tan lines on display and doing all I could to even mine out - with limited success. Fast forward to the mid 2020s and tan lines have become a fashion statement to be shown off. "When they were out of style they were seen as an imperfection, now they're associated with the summer and an active lifestyle - they've become desirable," Jemma says. "This year it's risen to a whole other level - they're even on the catwalk." Some fake tanners are even using masking tape - the type I use on my skirting boards - to create that crisp line across their skin. "My videos are about getting that tan line safely," Jemma says. "I feel pretty captivating, the look is eye-catching - especially the contrast between the darker skin and the white tan lines." Jemma is one of thousands extolling the virtues of tan lines, with posts notching up more than 200m views on TikTok. But alongside fake tanners like Jemma, there are just as many heading outdoors and under the hot sun, determined to create real tan lines - even if that means burning themselves and suffering the painful consequences. Hashtags such as #sunburntanlines, #sunpoisoning and #sunstroke are popping up alongside videos of young men and women - some in tears - revealing deep red, almost purple, often puckered skin. Some are asking for help and advice, others actually want to show off their badly sunburned bodies. I've even seen one young woman proudly stating, "No pain no gain". Having a visible tan in Victorian times was a clear sign you were poor working class and probably spent most of your time hawking barrels of hay for very little recompense. By the 1920s, a few freckles and a well-placed tan line would probably mean you had moved up a social class or two, and suggested health, wealth and luxurious holidays. By the 1960s and 70s sun lovers were using cooking oil and reflective blankets to deepen their tans. But the links between ultraviolet (UV) radiation and skin cancer were becoming more widely known - and indisputable. So marked the beginning of a complex relationship with the desire to change our skin colour - and while tans are still sought after by millions of us, there is now little doubt a natural one carries with it a hefty element of risk. If someone had lectured Jak Howells about the risks of sunburn a few years ago those warnings would likely have fallen on deaf - and probably sunburnt - ears. "I know it seems strange to be addicted to lying on a sunbed," the 26-year-old from Swansea says, "but I was." It began when Jak was 15, with a few of his older mates in school using them. By the time he was 19 Jak was on sunbeds five times a week, for 18-20 minutes at a time. "My skin was so burned - my face looked like a beetroot. But I kept on going back for more," he says. "I knew in the back of my mind that there was a risk - I wasn't oblivious - but I didn't take it seriously. Jak says he used to enjoy when people complimented him on how he looked and remarked on his tan. "It gave me such a buzz, I loved it," he says. But it was seeing the look of horror on his mum's face, as she examined a bleeding mole on his back, that made Jak realise his love of sunbeds had gone too far. Just before Christmas 2021, Jak was diagnosed with melanoma, one of the most dangerous types of skin cancer, which can spread to other parts of the body. What followed, he says, were two years of "hell and horror". Jak had a complicated operation that involved surgeons cutting away two inches of skin from his lower back, chest and groin. But three months later the cancer was back. Jak then had immunotherapy - which uses the body's own immune system to fight the cancer - and was told if that didn't work, he had only a year to live. "The sickness was horrific - I would lie in bed for days," Jak says. "It felt like I had been hit by a bus. I had such a damaged body, I was a shell of a human. I lived for the next scan, the next treatment." 'Massive backwards step' Melanoma skin cancer rates in the UK have increased by almost a third over the past decade. I asked Megan Fisher from Cancer Research UK why this is happening in an era where the risks posed by harmful rays from the sun and the links to skin cancer are now well known. "It's partly down to those people who may have burnt several decades ago," she explains. "You only need to get sunburnt once every two years to triple your risk of getting skin cancer." As a population, we are growing older, so are "more likely to see more cancers" and "we are spotting them more quickly", she adds. However, there are also concerns part of the increase could be down to the volume of misinformation doing the rounds online. "We've taken a massive backwards step," says Dr Kate McCann, a preventative health specialist. "The message that the sun is good and sunscreen causes cancer is a complete loss of health literacy." She says the current trend to create tan lines by burning in the sun, coupled with false claims that suntan lotion is responsible for the very cancer it's trying to prevent is a "perfect storm". "If I see a child or a young person with sunburn now, I know they have an increased risk of cancer in 20 or 30 years." While there are some ingredients in suntan lotions - like oxybenzone - that can cause environmental damage to coral reefs, there is not evidence to suggest it poses a risk to humans, Dr McCann says. "If you don't want to use a suntan lotion with certain chemicals there are plenty of more natural ones on the market - zinc and mineral based ones - but you can't just stop wearing sunscreen." As a young man Jak relished his tan lines. Now he says he's frightened by the sun and lathers himself up in SPF before even thinking about stepping outdoors. Given the all clear from cancer in December 2022, he now has a career he loves making content and talking about his experiences to raise awareness. Looking back he says he realises what happened to him was "probably self inflicted". "For a long time I blamed myself and I beat myself up about it," he says. "But I have been lucky enough to live through the consequences - and they were horrendous. So maybe now I feel like I've done my time." Back on TikTok, in her own way, beauty influencer and fake tanner Jemma is also trying to prevent others from going through what Jak did. "Skin damage is real," she says. "We're not doing that."

As a 5-foot Fashion Writer, These Are the 12 Wedding Guest Dresses That Don't Require a Trip to the Tailor
Wedding season is about to be in full swing, and my calendar is packed with summer and fall outdoor soirees, some close to home and of which require traveling. After taking a peek into my closet, I've concluded that I need to add a few new options to my wedding guest dress collection—ideally without breaking the bank. Since I'm 5 feet tall (and on a time crunch), my search is narrowed down to petite-friendly dresses that won't require a trip to the tailor. Luckily, I have a list of reliable spots, such as Amazon, Nordstrom, Anthropologie, and Banana Republic, that never fail to have stylish petite options. I found wrinkle-resistant midi dresses that won't take up much space in my luggage, along with elegant, cocktail attire maxi dresses. Keep reading for 12 petite-friendly wedding guest dresses I'm eyeing right now, starting at $46. $350 $150 at Banana Republic Banana Republic is one of my go-to spots for petite wedding guest dresses, and this willow green halter neck dress immediately caught my eye. It features flattering corset-style pleats that create a drop waist design to help extend the torso area—AKA the perfect design for petites. One reviewer confirmed this, writing, 'Being a petite woman, it's difficult to find beautiful, long dresses that accentuate and don't swallow my frame,' adding, 'This one does just that and does so effortlessly!" Oh, and it's machine washable! What more could you ask for? Well, maybe the fact that right now it's $200 off, bringing the price tag to $150. In addition to shopping for dresses to attend the actual wedding, I'm also searching for flirty yet modest options to wear to the welcome party. This dress won't take up much room in my luggage, and its light and airy material won't feel overly hot during outdoor festivities. It comes in eight color options, from a little black dress to a pink shade that's ideal for the daytime. One 5-foot-1 Amazon shopper highlighted the dress's 'high-end vibe,' thanks to its 'luxurious' material, and shared that it's fit for petites, writing that the length 'just hit' their knee, which they 'love.' $120 $95 at It wasn't until recently that I discovered the extensive wedding guest dress selection at Abercrombie & Fitch, with almost every style available in petite sizing. This summer wedding-ready midi dress is made from a sheer crepe fabric with a flattering sweetheart neckline and flowy skirt. The dress also comes with removable spaghetti straps for added support, and the hemline grazes right above the ankles—truly the perfect length, just as the reviewer said. One 5-foot-3 reviewer shared that it's 'the perfect fit and length' for them and said, 'I can't wait to wear this for an upcoming beach wedding.' This stylish satin floral dress would fit right in at a summer outdoor wedding or even a fall function, thanks to the 16 prints that include some darker colorways like maroon and navy. The midi-style dress has a peek-a-boo front tie design and a subtle side slit. One 5-foot-2 shopper shared that it's 'petite-friendly' and raved that it's the 'perfect wedding guest dress.' This elevated A-line dress from Petal & Pup is a simple yet elegant choice for summer weddings—and gives Reformation vibes (some calling it a dupe!) with a much friendlier price tag. While it isn't available in petite sizing, the adjustable tie straps help create a customizable fit and the length at most might appear more like a midi dress (which I love). One 5-foot-2 shopper dubbed it the 'perfect wedding guest dress,' while a different petite reviewer wrote, 'I look forward to wearing this piece for years to come!' This simple cotton midi dress from Steve Madden is an option I can picture myself reaching for again and again, even after wearing it to a wedding. The dress is designed with convenient details like two functional pockets and adjustable straps, and its flowy skirt will have me twirling the night away on the dance floor. The muted mossy green hue is fitting for summer and fall—just wrap yourself in a pashmina once the weather cools down. Polka dots have been popping up everywhere this summer, and this midi sundress puts a wedding guest-approved touch on the trend. The flowy pleated dress has a structured ruched bodice and a V-neckline, and the spaghetti straps are adjustable. If polka dots aren't for you, the dress is also available in four eye-catching floral patterns. Romantic is the best way to describe this ruffle-trimmed maxi dress from London Times. The flowy chiffon dress, available in petite sizing, has an empire waistline and flattering capped sleeves. The high-low design allows you to show off your footwear, while ensuring you won't trip on the ankle-grazing hemline. The petite sizing sealed the deal for one Amazon shopper, who wrote that they 'received many compliments on the colors and style,' while at their daughter's college graduation. This top-rated midi slip dress from Anthropologie is perfect for a summer garden-themed wedding. The pullover style midi slip dress features a mock neckline and a sophisticated keyhole back closure. While it caught my eye as a wedding guest dress, one reviewer wrote that they are taking it on their 'European trip,' adding that it 'will fold to nearly nothing and barely wrinkles.' $130 $104 at The subtle gold hardware detailing on this timeless black maxi dress made me fall in love with it for one of my upcoming weddings. The petite dress features a dipped-waist design with tie-back detailing in georgette fabric that folds down small and won't take up much luggage space. In addition to black, it comes in three other summery colors, including an orange floral and a bright magenta. A 5-foot-2 shopper who ordered a petite size wrote that it was 'a perfect fit,' while a different reviewer wrote, 'getting this in petite made the length perfect.' Reformation's wedding guest dresses are undoubtedly a splurge, but considering I own a few of them, I can confidently say that it's money well spent. I've had my Reformation dresses for years, and they truly stand the test of time. Plus, the simple, yet elegant silhouettes are versatile enough to wear for numerous occasions, not just to a wedding. This A-line dress has a fitted bodice and an elegant sweetheart neckline. According to the brand's product description, this style runs on the larger side—something to consider when selecting your sizing. I'm never opposed to opting for a mini dress if it fits the wedding dress code, and this effortlessly chic option is easy to dress up or down. It has playful puffed sleeves and an off-the-shoulder neckline, but the metallic mocha shade adds an elevated, dressy touch to the mini. Love a great deal?
