1. A super soft — and top-rated — Brooklinen linen sheet setthat'll turn your favorite place (your bed, duh) into the oasis it should be. This set comes complete with a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, and two pillowcases — each made of breathable, cooling, and moisture-wicking fabric. The perfect material for summer!

Brooklinen

Promising reviews: "Best sheets I’ve ever owned. Absolutely in love with these linen sheets. I was nervous about making the switch from cotton, but I sleep hot and was told linen was the way to go. So glad I did! Super soft and comfortable, not stiff or scratchy at all. Definitely has lessened night sweats for me!" —Matthew M. 

"Great for hot sleepers or if you get sweaty at night — the linen is naturally moisture-wicking and feels cozy without making you overheat. They’re not as smooth as cotton, but I adjusted to the texture really quickly, and they are amazingly cozy. I sleep so much better with these sheets! Love them." —Meara 

Get the set from Brooklinen for $296.65+ (originally $349+; available in full, queen, king, and California King sets and in 16 colors). 

2. A cold brew pitcher because summer is the time when iced coffee wins every time. All you need to do is put grounds into the filter, add some water, and let it sit overnight. The next day, you'll have some yummy cold brew! This pitcher also has a leak-proof lid to help prevent spills and is dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning, so making your homemade cold brew will entail zero hassle from start to finish.

Takeya is a small business based in Costa Mesa, California.

Promising reviews: "I bought this for my college son who loves iced coffee and who always spends too much money getting them. This was a perfect gift! He was loving it! He says it's easy to use, and the flavors were terrific. You can make it however strong you want." —Amazon Customer

"This cold brew coffee maker is AMAZING and makes some of the best cold brew I’ve ever had. It’s the perfect size for a college student like myself and is sooo easy to make and clean. Couldn’t recommend more!!!" —Scott Powers

3. A stained-glass window decal for constant rainbows and positive energy in your home. When the sun hits your window, the entire room will make you smile. OH! And it's great for privacy, too.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "My kitchen window is on the sidewalk near the community mailboxes. Lots of people are walking by. I loathe mini blinds, which collect dust and grease. Especially since the stove is next to the window. Curtains are better, but still collect cooking smells and grease particles. I installed this in about ten minutes. It lets in light, but hides me from nosy people." —Gayle Smith

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in four colors and 14 roll sizes).

4. A bouquet of silk tulips because they'll. Never. Die! You'll have a pop of color for the entire summer and won't have to worry about changing the dirty water before guests arrive.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "They look insanely real, and I get a ton of compliments on them. Everyone always thinks my husband surprised me with tulips (my favorite flower) and is shocked to learn these are not real. I have several of them throughout my house, and I plan to buy more because they are great!" —Abbey S.

Get them from Amazon for $19.99+(available in dozens of colors).

5. An easy-to-use SodaStream so you'll have yummy, refreshing sparkling water whenever you want it! Not only will this limit plastic bottle use, but you'll save tons of $$$ not buying cases of LaCroix every month. 😅

Abby Kass / BuzzFeed

The SodaStream also comes with a 60-liter CO2 cylinder and a one-liter BPA-free reusable carbonating bottle! Reviewers also suggest buying two CO2 cartridges and trying various natural fruit flavors to spice things up!

Promising review: "I used to buy flavored water all the time at the grocery store. Now, I make my own when I want, for a fraction of the cost. Just purchase your favorite water flavor enhancers, and boom, you can make your own bubbly flavored water in seconds. Or get the soda flavors and make your own soda. Both are easy and taste good. It's easy to change out the CO2 can when it's done." —T. Cleveland

Get it from Amazon for $75.99+ (available in three colors and multiple bundles).

6. A cooling blanket because it's basically like a magic cape for the summertime heat. One side of the blanket is made with Arc-Chill fabric to help absorb body heat. The other side is 100% cotton, so you have the choice to use its ~cooling powers~ or not!

www.amazon.com

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer says: "I have a similar cooling blanket because the fabric of my couch is gorgeous, but...gets VERY hot in the summer — they can make all the difference!"

Promising review: "Sorcery! I don't know what makes this blanket work, and I don't care. The fact is that IT DOES!!! I overheat at night a lot because I live in Arizona. I got this blanket at the exact right time, and I'm THRILLED!!!" —Amanda Julia Hess

Promising review: "I run really hot, and I have tried so many various blankets. Well, I am here to tell you this is the one you need. I live in the southwest, where temps exceed 110 degrees regularly in the summer. I used to wake up sweaty every single morning, even with the AC on. Well, come to this blanket, and WOW, No more waking up sweating; you can ACTUALLY feel the cooling. Almost feels as if the blanket has a built-in AC. This is the blanket to get; stop searching and just order it. I promise you'll like it." —Brantley Rockwell

It works for everything from outdoor stovetops before barbeque season to the tennis shoes you plan to wear on your summer vacation. OH, and any crayon-covered walls will have met their match, too. You'll no longer need 10 different cleaning solutions for every kind of problem!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I had tried everything to get the hardware stains off my shower. CLR, metal scrubbing pads, vinegar, and many other things. I thought I'd end up having to replace all the faucets, knows, etc. I saw this in a BuzzFeed article and thought, no way it's THAT good... It's that good. It's better than good. It's wild how good it is. My shower looks better than new. It took rust stains off the tile. It took years of hard-water scale buildup off in seconds. It is literally a miracle product." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Put these up in Arizona, and it makes the outdoors quite lovely. You can make them as long or short as you want, and just put the end piece on it to customize it how long you would like. I took a picture of my outdoor thermometer, it was 109 degrees out, and after running these for 10 minutes, it was reading under 80 degrees." —Brendan

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in four sizes).

9. A quilted chenille floor pillow — a must for summer hangs and conversation pits with the family. If you plan on being the host of many fun gatherings this summer, these are definitely a necessity. And surprise! These stunning cushions are under 50 bucks.

10. A reviewer-beloved veggie chopper, slicer, and spiralizer because I'm sure you'd rather be in the pool than chopping veggies for the grill by hand.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Check out aTikTok of the veggie chopper in action. 

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. We used to have a Prepworks chopper, which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food, and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in four colors and four styles).

TL;DR: You and your family neeeed this. 🍉

Amazon

Promising reviews: "Ok, I was hoping this would not be a waste of money. It wasn't. My family likes watermelon cut into cubes. This made it so easy. All the juice that usually goes all over my table was contained in the rind. Genius!" —Londa

"Where have you been? This makes serving watermelon so easy and less messy." —Vicki

Get it from Amazon for $9.98

12. A water-resistant Bluetooth speaker because every summer hang is 10 times better with your favorite music playing in the background. It's portable and has an angled design that helps project sound louder without distortion.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Wow. When I opened the box and pulled it out, I thought it was a bit small and surely wouldn't be that loud... BOY, WAS I WRONG!! This FREAKING ROCKS!!! Seriously, don't hesitate — BUY ONE! The reviews were spot on! Perfect poolside! Best money I've ever spent on a Bluetooth speaker. The wife was skeptical, and then, I turned it on, and she was like, wow, excellent purchase, way to go!" —RIC78

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is the first projector I’ve purchased, and it was recommended to me by a friend. I am not disappointed! I still don’t have any sort of projector screen, so I decided to set it up on a random wall in our home...it still worked fantastic, even on a beige textured wall! The picture is very clean and easy to focus, and the speaker actually works quite well if you don’t have an external speaker to connect it to. I love that it’s so small and easy to move or store if needed. It will be great to use for a movie night in the backyard during the summer!" —Tanner

Get it from Amazon for $79.99.

These down alternative pillows are plush, supportive, and will make you feel like you're on vacation right in your own bedroom.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

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

Get a set of two from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in two sizes and four materials).

16. And a ~cooling~ Kitsch 100% satin pillowcase to ensure your hair and skin protection continues while you're sleeping! With satin, there's less friction, which means no more tangled hair (thank goodness!), and the cooling effect will help you sleep soundly.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "Way better than I expected! I was super skeptical that this would help. I only wash my hair twice a week and typically have to straighten or curl it every week. This helped a ton! I don't have to curl or straighten it nearly as much. It's helped with frizz too. I've washed them several times and they feel durable." —Molly G.

"I love my pillow case!...It's super soft and leaves your hair feeling silky when you wake up. It is durable and lasts through the washing machine (and dryer, I know). I will definitely be using these as gifts for friends and family." —Kimmie

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two sizes and 18 colors/patterns).

17. A Bissell Little Green Multi-Purpose Cleaner for all the stains inside the house *and* the dirt-covered outdoor furniture in the backyard.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "LIFE CHANGING. Our outdoor sectional was looking rough from being out in the rain, and I thought there was no chance I could clean it up, but this thing is magical! It literally looks new! I also used this on my couch, and it was amazing! Leaves everything smelling good and super clean!" —Shannon Fenton

"We have black Sunbrella RH outdoor furniture that stays out year-round. It gets covered in dust and pollen…I could never get it all the way clean (was just using a regular vacuum). I used this machine, and the furniture has never looked or felt better!!! We lovingly call this machine "The Extractor!" We love it. I have cleaned all the sofas and the interior of a car. I spilled a red DB tea on the seat, and it came right out! Can you tell I LOVE this cleaner? I didn’t even get it on sale, and honestly don’t care!" —E.B.

Get it from Amazon for $123.59+ (available in two styles).

BTW, this tool comes with small bottles of ready-to-use cleaning formula, but if you need more, grab a bigger bottle for $9.99!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Make sure to grab them some essential oils for the full experience!

According to Johns Hopkins, you may want to avoid diffusing oils around larger groups and young children because of the side effects of different oils.

Promising review: "I love this oil diffuser humidifier! My apartment is so dry, and this diffuser puts the right amount of moisture in the air for a very comfortable night's sleep. I use lavender and lemongrass essential oils with it, and the place smells heavenly! Very easy to set up and clean, nothing to screw off and on. Just lift the top off, fill with water and oil, and turn the unit on. I've been using it back and forth between my bedroom and living room. I will be purchasing another one very soon." —Ms Anne

Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in five finishes).

19. A remote-controlled oscillating tower fan for anyone without an air conditioner or the funds to keep it blasting all summer long. This powerful fan will provide near-instant relief during those blistering hot days while being so quiet you may forget it's on. It's got six speeds, four modes, AND a timer so it can really be an afterthought. It's sleek and narrow too, so it won't take up a ton of space in your room!

www.amazon.com

It comes with a remote control so you can turn it on from your bed, and the LED lights turn off in sleep mode, so you don't need to worry about being disturbed.

Promising review: "Cools like magic. Great fan. It’s super hot this summer, and I would not survive without it. Several speeds and functions. Quiet. Durable thus far, and it has run 18 hours a day every day since May. I didn’t think the remote was a big deal, but now I wouldn’t want to be without it. Would recommend and buy again." —Javygirl

Promising review: "I am elderly and live in Texas, where we have 100+-degree heat on a daily basis in the summer. This is, hands down, the best and most powerful fan I have experienced. I love it so much that I bought a second one for my sister, who is heat-sensitive. She got rid of the two tower fans she was using, as this fan cooled her room." —TJ

Get it from Amazon for $89.99 (available in three colors and two styles).

20. And for those with ceiling fans, a ceiling fan carbon filter that goes on top of the blades to catch dust, pollen, smoke, dander, and other allergens as the fan spins. You won't be able to see the filters, but the cleaner air will definitely remind you that they're there!

Barnakl is a family-owned small biz founded by three brothers.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "They are very sturdy, the lids snap in place, and the width and length are perfect for the size of my fridge (I'm able to fit 8 containers in the crisper drawer). They are clear plastic and are easy to peek in without having to open the lid or even label them. Since my initial order of two, I have since bought four additional sets and have each of them filled with various fruit and veggies. I'm happy to report that I have not experienced any molding with these and find the raised tray beneficial in this! I absolutely love these!!" —Ray h.

Get a three-piece set from Amazon for $14.99.

23. A full-size inflatable lounge pool that's not a want, but a *need* for your backyard. It includes two cup holders, a long built-in lounge bench and back-rest (swoon!), and is big enough for the whole family to splash around in.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have had this pool for about two weeks now, and I LOVE IT!!! Was simple to set up; I got a little electric pump, and it took about 10 minutes to inflate, then about half an hour to fill with water. Pay attention to make sure you set it up on level ground, or it will be lopsided. I live in South Carolina, so it is already hot and humid, and I use it about every afternoon. It is probably good for two adults, maybe one adult and a couple of kids. The built-in seat and headrest are really quite comfy and relaxing. I will definitely buy this same pool again if it springs a leak and can't be fixed. If I could give it 10 stars, I would. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!!" —kathryn j.

Get it from Amazon for $51.99.

24. Some outdoor string lights because absolutely no patio is complete without them! It's the perfect way to set the mood and keep the party going after the sun goes down. These lights are waterproof and come with stylish Edison bulbs!

Get a 25-foot strand from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in seven sizes and four colors).

25. A convertible cooler table — a genius (and I mean *genius*) backyard essential that looks like a simple side table, but when opened fully, turns into the most convenient cooler ever. I mean, who wouldn't love to have every drink and snack you need right beside you?

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "What a cool use of space, and it's a great match for our outdoor set. I store sunscreen and other items when not entertaining. There’s a reason thousands of people purchase this. It’s a functional cool piece." —Mamma 4

Get it from Amazon for $76.49+ (available in two colors).

26. A set of water-absorbent coasters so your ice-cold summer drinks don't ruin your furniture. These terrazzo-style coasters are fast-acting when it comes to liquid cleanup, and they even have a cork bottom, so there is no unwanted movement.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Bought these because my old coasters left puddles of water from the condensation on drinks. These really work and absorb everything! Very pleased.

Promising review: "We've had four of these glasses for over six months now and finally just added four more to our collection. These glasses are SO CHIC and are very similar to ones sold at Crate & Barrel, but are MUCH more durable. Unlike the C&B glasses, you can cheers without feeling like the glasses will break. In fact, they've tipped over in the sink a few times and are still intact. They dry beautifully, sparkle after the dishwasher, and we get so many compliments on them. I love them!" —Katie B

29. Vacuum seal bags so that your hefty winter blankets, sweaters, and extra-warm hoodies can be stored away without taking up room from your new summer attire. These bags will turn a stack of thick blankets into something flat and easy to store, AND make it easy to toss out-of-season items to the back of the closet until they're needed.

www.amazon.com

Former BuzzFeed Shopping writer Jasmin Sandalswears by these bags!: 

"I swear by these bad boys not only for general storage purposes but also if I know I'm going to be traveling for an extended period of time. As someone who tends to pack for every eventuality (who doesn't like to be prepared?!), I have learned that it's better to travel with them than without — especially since it's more or less a guarantee that my clothes are gonna take up a ~substantial~ amount of room in my suitcase. And if I can use something that's gonna shrink the size of my bulky hoodies and/or big tees in order for me to create more space, I'm sure as heck gonna do it. Plus, the satisfaction is indeed guaranteed because when you see those chunky layers flatten into a pancake...it's just *chef's kiss*."

Promising review: "I've used these bags before, and they are so helpful. I even use the medium one for travel, and I have tons of extra suitcase room. The clothes don't come out wrinkled at all as long as you fold them nicely before placing in the bag, then the air sucks out, keeping them safe and sound and very compact." —Susie Kochsmeier

Get a four-pack from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in multiple sizes or a variety pack).

30. And some under-bed storage containers to store extra bedsheets or out-of-season accessories like boots, scarves, and beanies away and out of sight. It's time for the flip-flops and sun hats to take the main stage! They've also got transparent tops so you can quickly decipher what's inside, and handles in front so you can simply slide them right out.

www.amazon.com

You can use these for so much more than clothing! Think craft supplies, extra toiletries, shoes...basically whatever you have too much of.

Promising review: "These storage bags are fantastic. I live in a small apartment where storage space is at a premium. I use these to store my Costco toilet paper and paper towels, so I don't need to make as many trips to the store. It keeps them in pristine condition and out of sight. The handles make them easy to pull in and out, and they fold up nicely when not in use. I'm thinking about getting two more since four will fit under my queen bed." —Kimberly Dorn

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in three colors).

31. A stainless steel polishing spray that comes with a microfiber cloth. It won't just make your stainless-steel appliances look as good as new, but reviewers say it also helps prevent things like fingerprints, dust, and hard water stains, which in turn makes the clean last longer! Overall, your need for constant cleaning declines when all you did was spray and wipe.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "In my experience, cleaning products usually need to be pretty strong chemicals that require care when applying. When faced with options, I usually buy the chemical with the most skull and cross bones, warning labels, and danger symbols I can find. I figure the more volatile and poisonous the chemical, the better it will work! So, I was skeptical about this product when it was billed as a plant-based chemical on the other end of the toxicity spectrum. I decided to try it because of the many positive reviews. I'm glad I did. It works great! I wouldn't use it as a mouthwash, but it certainly isn't as harsh as other cleaners I've used." —Joe

Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in two sizes).

32. An effective grill cleaner, an essential as the weather gets warmer! This cleaner will get your fave sunny day appliance shiny and clean just in time for barbecue season — that includes the grill grates, drip pans, grill interior, and the exterior, too. Simply spray, let it sit for a few minutes, and wipe away. Say goodbye to the terrifying crud that's been there since last summer.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is a super good cleaner. My barbecue had about six years of grease in it, and it now looks like new. I recommend knocking off the big chunks with the wire brush, then spraying this on. Wipe it clean, hit it with a wire brush again, spray it on, hose it off, wipe it dry." —Mike Pekro

Get it from Amazon for $13.50+ (also available in a two-pack).

33. A cooling microfiber towel that *instantly* chills when you soak it in water and wring it out, and stays cool for up to two hours. When you're burning up just from sitting on the couch ('cause you know, summer heat), it'll feel like heaven! They're also great to use after workouts, during hikes, or just days out in the sun.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

It even comes with a compact pouch for easy portability!

Promising review: "Great product! I bought this for an upcoming summer hiking trip in Utah, but I have been using it for an aerobics class as a headband. I sweat on my head, and it runs down into my eyes. Regular headbands get soaked too fast. This really works because it keeps my head cooler and when it warms up, I simply drizzle more water on it from my spouted water bottle." —Lepmay

34. A touchscreen air fryer for making quick and delicious meals! With the help of five cooking presets, this Cosori air fryer can help even the worst of cooks make something great. Reviewers rave about making everything from french fries to whole steaks (and some yummy reheated meals in between).

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I'm obsessed with it. This Cosori air fryer is incredibly easy to operate and clean. The design is sleek and appealing (I leave it out on my counter). And the results have greatly exceeded my expectations. I think for the foreseeable future, I will be using this almost every day. Here's just a few examples of what I've made so far:

- Brussels sprouts: the results of cooking these at home in a normal gas oven have always sucked. While not quite restaurant quality (restaurants use oil fryers) the Cosori comes incredibly close and shaves about 10 minutes of cooking time.- Reheating french fries: This alone was worth the purchase. They were crispy and just as delicious from the night before.- Reheating steak that I cooked to a rare temp the night before on the pan: no complaints and super easy to clean afterwards.- Bacon: Way faster, way cleaner (and can easily save the bacon fat), and turned out perfect.I'm so excited to experiment more with this awesome machine. 5/5" —Nolan S.

35. And reusable air fryer liners that'll make cleanup a breeze. Replacing foil and parchment paper with this dishwasher-safe option is the ultimate "work smarter, not harder" move. And because they're made of silicone, you'll get years of use!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I was pleasantly surprised at how much easier clean up is with these silicone mats. I’ve used them several times in my air fryer and they solved the problem of food sticking and made clean up afterwards a breeze. I still spray them with olive oil with whatever food I’m cooking and wash with soapy water when done. I liked them better than the aluminum foil I was using due to holes in them that allow air to circulate and to be non-stick. The silicone has no odor that I could detect. Quality material. Food gets browned and crispy. They fit perfectly in my Cosori air fryer." —Diane Lareau

36. A high-voltage bug zapper so that constant swatting and bug bites aren't ruining your outdoor fun. This little lantern offers top-notch protection from mosquitoes, gnats, flies, and moths in an area up to half an acre and has a removable tray for easy cleaning.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "This zapper is super effective. I left on vacation on Wednesday, and by Monday morning, the bottom tray was full. It lacks the ability to control when it turns on and off, but I solved the problem with a wifi outlet. Now I can turn it on and off from my phone. Life couldn't be any better." —Kevin D.

"I got this about a week ago. All I had to do was hang it and plug it in! It's lightweight, and the size is perfect. When I plugged it in, literally within ten seconds, it was zapping the bloodsuckers. I turn it on at dusk and off at about 11 pm. At this point, it has left hundreds, if not tens of hundreds, of carcasses in the collection! Mostly mosquitoes, but also moths, flies, and all sorts of unwanted critters. I've bought similar in the past, but not as good as this. Worth every penny in my wooded back yard👍." —Kevin D.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I ordered this for my two cats, and this feeder is exactly what I needed. The app was super easy to download and set up, plus the feeder looks modern and stylish in my kitchen.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought this RMR-86 spray with low expectations, even with the good reviews. I sprayed a small patch in the evening and let it sit overnight. The next morning, the grout where I had sprayed was as white as if it were brand new. I decided to spray the entire wall and part of the roof. The next day, everything I sprayed had no visible mold. By the third night, I was pretty much spraying everything left in the shower. This stuff is amazing." —John Werner

39. The latest (and fastest!) waterproof Kindle Paperwhite when you want to read in the bathtub, in the hot tub, or by the pool. Not only does it have faster page turns than the previous version (just ask reviewers!), but it also features a 7-inch anti-glare screen and an adjustable built-in light with a new warm light option, so there'll be no worries about reading at night or out in the bright sun.

Abby Kass / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

I own the original Kindle (non-waterproof) and it was a purchase I thought looong and hard about, and TBH I should've gotten it way sooner!! My bookshelf is juuust about full, and this was the perfect way to continue reading without adding the clutter of books in my home (especially the ones I have yet to read 😅). My favorite features are the anti-glare screen (a real game changer!) the easy dictionary look-ups, auto-saves so I don't lose my place, and easy Bluetooth connection for when I want to read with an audiobook. The size is another huge plus because I can take it everywhere without feeling like I'm lugging something around. The text can be enlarged, too, so I don't ever worry about straining my eyes. If you're someone who buys physical books constantly, this will definitely save you a bit of money, too, since Kindle versions tend to be cheaper. So, it really is a great investment. 11/10, 5 stars, and as I bookworm myself, I would LOVE this waterproof version for beach and pool days!!

Promising review: "I love my 2018 Kindle, but this new one is so much faster and easier to read on. The warm feature is also super nice, and I thought I would hate the bigger size, but there’s honestly not a huge difference other than the screen, which is so much easier to read on. It feels like I’m reading an actual book! ...and so far the new Kindle is doing amazing with battery life." —Alyssa

Get it from Amazon for $159.99 (available in three colors).

40. A smart power strip you can control right from your phone to limit energy consumption and save some $$ on your electricity bill.

It's compatible with Alexa and Google Home *and* has three USB ports for charging electronics, too.

www.amazon.com

Reviewers say it's especially great for plant parents with grow lights or reptile/bunny parents with heat lights inside their cages.

Promising reviews: "With this, you're able to see total, daily, and monthly energy usage, and I schedule things to turn off during the night and when we're not usually home/in that room much. A simple voice command still turns it on if it is needed during the scheduled off times. Hopefully this will lower our electric bill over time." —StephSchiff

"I use this for my bearded dragons! I love being able to schedule when their light will turn on and off. I can even turn them on or off individually, which is what I do when I clean their houses at night... The app works great and is easy to use, and no issues with disconnecting." —cc

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Biggest thing since sliced bread. Do you hate it when you can’t finish your soda, or maybe don’t have time? If you're driving somewhere it’s difficult to handle a can drink sometimes, you’re trying to take a sip and all a sudden you hit a pot hole. Soda up your nose, down your chin, on your clothes. It doesn’t have to be that way anymore — with these, you can enjoy your soda just like it was in a bottle. I was skeptical at first, but sold as soon as I put it on the can. I use it every day." —Jonesy

Promising review: "I’ve been using this product for years now.

43. A highly effective mascara remover that removes even the most stubborn waterproof mascaras out there. With beach, lake, and pool season upon us, this is a must-have for sure. Simply apply it just like mascara and watch the magic happen.

www.amazon.com

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Melanie Aman swears by it: "This stuff is MAGICAL. I have stick-straight Asian lashes that refuse to hold a curl with wetter mascara formulas. As a result, I have to use waterproof mascara, which is a total pain to remove at night. Instead of rubbing my eyes raw with makeup removers that burn, I apply this like mascara, let it sit for a few minutes, and my waterproof mascara MELTS. Then I go in with a micellar water–soaked cotton pad, and my mascara is gone in 1–2 passes."

Promising review: "I was skeptical because I have always struggled with removing waterproof mascara 100% on the first wash/wipe. I applied it to both my lashes, and then immediately washed my face with my normal cleanser, and I felt nothing on my lashes! Like I never applied anything to them. I am amazed and in shock still from this magical formula and invention! Best creation ever!" —Chrisy

Get it from Amazon for $11.99.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

You can also fill it with their blankets, beds, and toys to really make it fun and cozy while they take in the fresh air. It comes with an attachable tunnel, as pictured on the right above. If your pet is an escape artist, some reviewers recommend weighing down or staking the corners of the tent just to be safe, and it's best not to leave them unattended in it either!

Get a closer look at it on TikTok!

Promising review: "My boys freaking LOVE this thing! Ended up getting a second tunnel so I could place the tent out into the yard more, but they took to it immediately. Construction seems excellent, and all the parts zip together to make it escape-proof." —Brian B.

It really is a wonderful device and definitely worth the money!" —Texas

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I finally invested in blackout curtains for my room and my kids' room, and now I’m kicking myself for not doing it sooner! These curtains do exactly what they are supposed to do. My kids are early risers, usually getting up when the sun comes up. Today, I was able to sleep until 9:30 because they were still in bed! I woke up not even knowing what time it was because my room was still so dark, haha! These especially made a huge difference in my room, which faces the side of the house where the sun rises. These curtains are silky feeling, which I wasn’t expecting, but it gives a sleek appearance. I highly, highly recommend this brand." —Key Monique

47. A bestselling double cotton hammock complete with a sturdy steel stand, so that not having two trees in close proximity won't be a deal breaker for your outdoor relaxation time. It can hold up to 450 pounds, too. So tell the kiddos to pile on!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is an amazing hammock! The bright colors, the sturdiness, and the very easy setup. It took my sister-in-law and me about five minutes to set up. I put this hammock in my backyard, had some visitors for a couple of weeks, and they used it very, very regularly, to read, sleep, and just lounge. The only thing that may bother some people is that when lying in it the sides come over and wrap you like a cocoon. But I love it!!" —Juliet, Florida

There's no longer any paint on my house; the layers of dirt from when dinosaurs walked the Earth have been removed from every crack of concrete, and the stubborn moss that engulfed my front steps has been screaming, 'No more, Daddy!' for days now. I'm a ruthless power washing machine now. It has become a part of me. I dream about it every night. Now I'm just figuring out a way to power-clean my putrid, filthy soul." —b00mfox

Abby Kass / BuzzFeed

VoChill is an Austin, Texas-based small business started by a husband and wife after not being able to fully enjoy white wine because it warmed up too much in the heat. 

Former BuzzFeed Editor Abby Kass LOVES this glass chiller:

"I wanted a nice glass of white wine because it paired nicely with my dinner, but I realized I didn't have any chilled. Luckily, I remembered that I had put the VoChill in the freezer, so I was able to grab it, attach it to the base, and set my glass of wine in it. It chilled it and kept it cold the whole time I was drinking it. It was so nice. Plus, it was super easy to grab my wine glass when I wanted a drink, and I never felt like the glass would tip or wobble in the "cradle" because there's actually a bit of rubber in it that helps keep glasses of all sizes in place. I was seriously surprised how cold it kept my drink to the last drop. If you like a nice cold glass of white wine (or even a chilled red), I highly suggest keeping this in your freezer because you never really know when you're going to need it."

Get it from Amazon for $44.95 (available in four colors and also a pack of two).
