Featuring a life hack for new parents, work pants that are *actually* comfy, and a way to make dinner prep quicker.

Promising review: "Refined but comfy like jammies! So glad I found these! The waist is stretchy and soft, but trim at the same time. No more feeling like somebody is tightening a noose around my waist! The fabric is smooth and has a silky feel and a dressy look. Pants are not overly wide. Would definitely wear to just about any workplace. I wore these for about 12 hours yesterday, and I'm about to order more. Great for a long flight, too." —Texan Rose

Price: $36.99 (available in women's sizes XXS–3XL, five lengths, and 38 colors)

AirTags don't come with a holder, but you can grab a four-pack for $6.57. Also, if you're a pet parent, you'll want an AirTag collar!

Promising review: "My husband travels for work and I can be a little forgetful, so for the price we thought we would give this a try. We are VERY happy! This is a great way to track your wallet, keys or luggage. With excellent long range, I can be guided directly to my item or notified that something was left behind. I have an iPhone and the guided setup was a breeze. Software features are very practical (Find My Device with a guided arrow and play sound) for a very busy life. The AirTag is lightweight, but durable. There is no limit to finding compatible accessories for your needs." —S. Mapp

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly had a similar positive experience using her AirTags during international travel — you can read her story here!

Promising review: "I love these hand sanitizers and I keep repurchasing! The scents are lovely and it feels good on your hands while also making your hands feel clean. The travel spray is convenient and easy to use and carry in any bag. Whenever I have these people are always wanting to borrow! —Sarah Balch

Price: $30 (also available in 12 other scents and sets).

Promising review: "It’s the perfect size for a car, not too big and not too small. I can use a grocery bag inside of it. Very easy to detach and clip onto the seat. Makes cleaning my car much easier! It is thick and the inside is water proof. So it’s also a nice quality can to have to avoid messes!" —Brianna .M

This stuff has over *63,000* 5-star ratings.

Promising review: "Had a black pen in my shirt pocket that I completely forgot about until I washed the shirt to only see several big ink stains on my uniform shirt. Definitely didn’t want to buy another uniform shirt, so I Googled how to remove ink stain and it suggested acetone or rubbing alcohol. Both were a huge disappointment. So I saw this product on a TikTok video and people were using this product to remove dried up stains, including blood. Wasn’t hopeful, but I figured I’d give it a try! To my GRAND SURPRISE the ink stains are gone. All I did was saturated the stains and rubbed it in for a while. Let the shirt sit overnight and then washed it the next morning. Stains completely gone!!!! I highly recommend this product!!!" —Angelise Moore

Price: $7.97 (available in two spray sizes, a pen version, a refill pouch, and various packs)

Promising review: "This mat has been a game changer for our back door area. I used to use old towels and subpar mats when the pups came in from outside especially after rain or snow that didn't work. The Muddy Mat not only absorbes more but cuts way down on the tracking of dirt and mud into our home. I shake it out about once or twice every few days and it washes perfectly in the washing machine. It does not slip much, if at all and it is so soft, I am considering another one to use as a bath mat. Even our kitty loves to lay on it! The color is beautiful and did not fade in the wash." —Melissa

Price: $22.46 (available in 21 colors and 14 sizes)

This large-size bucket will fit two adult hands, two adult hands and one small child, one extra-large adult hand, or 2–4 child hands. There is an extra-large version if you want to cast two extra-large hands or have three or more people who want to participate.

Promising review: "Awesome for first timers! My son got this for his Nana. The instructions were clear and easy to read. Get yourself some distilled water and put one bottle in the fridge ahead of time! So pleased with the finished product, and my 6-year-old son is proud of himself. My mom loves it, and it's such a personal experience; great for bonding and family time. We will buy others soon. Just look at the details!" —Jessics Kirkland

Price: $29.32 (also available in an XL size)

Promising review: "I'm not one to write reviews; however, this small cooler/lunch box deserves one. This small cooler is totally worth paying the extra money. I filled it up with sushi rolls for a concert and it stayed very cold for over 10 hours. The cold packs I placed inside were still frozen after all that time! It is also roomy, a nice soft material and very stylish, and the shoulder strap option makes it more functional. I love it!" —Leticia Hampton

Price: $75+ (available in 11 colors and three sizes)

You also get six free months of access to 1:1 chats with certified sleep consultants (and other premium features) — after that, it's behind an optional subscription that costs $6.99/month or $69.99/year.

Promising review: "We’ve used the Hatch every day for a few months now and it’s one of the few baby purchases I’d recommend as a MUST for a newborn. The white noise and night light combo has made bedtime feel calmer, and the app control is what really sets it apart. I really love the insights that the app provides about sleep for all stages of life. It’s helpful as a first-time parent! The moment it won me over was the first time our baby was finally asleep and I realized the volume was just slightly too loud. Not enough to wake them, but enough to make me worry I’d regret it later. Instead of creeping into the room and risking a creaky door, I turned it down from my couch on the app. Baby stayed asleep, and I felt like I’d pulled off a tiny miracle. Same goes for the opposite if we’re watching a loud movie and don’t want to wake up our baby. The sound quality is excellent, the light is perfect for middle-of-the-night feeds without blasting the whole room, and the scheduling feature makes it easy to keep a consistent routine. It’s not the cheapest sound machine, but after four months of daily use, it’s been reliable and completely worth it." —Joseph

Price: $99.99 (available in four colors)

Promising reviews: "Have only been using these for four days and OMG, GLASS SKIN! Not irritating to skin and leaves it feeling smooth and glowy." —A. Dawn

"I kept seeing this product on social media and finally decided to give it a try. I use this twice daily, and it’s been a couple of weeks, and I definitely noticed my pores have shrunk. I even apply it to my neck and chest area. Product is soothing, gentle on my skin (have extremely sensitive skin), no strong smell, cottons are soft, and did not cause any breakouts! It’s great for the value, and I’ll definitely be repurchasing these." —Ee El

Price: $18.90 (available in four other styles)

Promising review: "First of all, I chose purple because of my FAVORITE artist, Prince. Second of all, this is the cutest most durable small speaker ever! Third of all, the volume level???? WHOA!!!! I hooked it up to my phone, played a youtube video, turned up the volume and was like...whoa! IT'S LOUD but in a GREAT way!!!! I am deliriously happy with my purchase. The size is just right. The feel is luxurious...omg! Am i going to buy another one? Heck yeah! You cannot beat the price for this level of speaker happiness....LOL" —Felicity Battle

Price: $39.95 (available in nine styles) 

Promising reviews: "I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!! Wishing I’d bought one years ago, when my son was born. We don’t even have pets, but this has been an amazing machine to clean our sofa, mattresses, car seats, stairs — everywhere that has seen spills over the years. I hate cleaning, but I actually enjoy using this — it’s so easy and fun to use! Thank you, Bissell designers." —Modern Homeschoolers

"Pet owner life saver. This machine is great, and I like that it does upholstery as well. It’s so easy to use, and it minimizes the yuck factor of dealing with pet stains. That’s important to me because I hate tackling cleaning jobs like this. It’s compact and easy to store in a small space. The cord is nice and long, and it’s not too heavy. It saves having to get an expensive cleaner for the occasional accident. YouTube has some great tips on video." —Zona lady

Price: $129.99 (also available in a mini version in three colors)

Promising review: "These under-cabinet lights are amazing! Super easy to install, they are perfect for my nighttime wandering while everyone else is trying to sleep! I set the light brightness to low and it is perfect!! I love that the brightness is adjustable and that they detect my motion quickly! I also love that each light came with its own charging cord! I have been using the lights (6 of them) for about three weeks, and they have not needed a charge yet! I am ordering four more lights today to use in the closets in my house that was built in 1930! These lights are my "best find" in a long time!!" —Cheryl Kincannon

Price: $16.99+ (available in two sizes, with warm or white light, and a three-color version)

Promising review: "A 'must add' to your workout routine. Great quality at a good price. I have noticed a difference when wearing this while walking on the treadmill. I find my heart rate gets into zone 2–3 quickly without having to walk faster just by wearing the vest and taking the incline up a bit. It's easy to adjust on the fly and is very comfortable. My husband uses it during his workouts for things like lunges and squats. The weight is evenly distributed throughout the vest so it makes it easy to stay balanced." —R. Marr

Price: $24.63+ (available in 13 colors and seven different weight levels)

In case you're not familiar, retinal (not to be confused with retinol) is the most potent over-the-counter retinoid you can snag — it's basically retinol's cooler cousin. This is especially recommended for rough/uneven spots on elbows, knees, and the underarm area, as retinal can help bring new skin to the surface.

Promising review: "I’ve been using this product for a month and I’ve gotten so many compliments on my skin! I have highly sensitive skin that does not tolerate products with fragrance. And my skin loves it! The trick is to start slow with the product. And follow the instructions on the inside of the box. You don’t need product all over your face like the influencers show. You need very small amounts! Also, I follow it up with moisturizer and only use it at night. I’m only using it two to three days a week and then cycling with vitamin C products on the days I don’t use it. It’s helped with the fine lines on my forehead, acne on my cheeks, chin, jaw, and nose, and hyperpigmentation, and overall the dullness and texture of my skin." —Kiki M. 

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes says, "It takes a bit of practice to get the hang of using this roller — at first, I thought you only brushed down in one direction, and was confused why it wasn't picking up hair. It's important to do a push-and-pull brushing in *both* directions so it actually pulls the hair inside, which does require you to apply a bit of pressure. Afterward, you'll just dump out the hair that's been trapped inside. The ChomChom is best for large flat surfaces like couches and beds." 

Promising review: "The one roller to rule them ALL! No words. I’m positively dumbfounded at the amount of hair and other debris this pet hair remover picks up! I’ve tried everything for the cat hair and to my frustration nothing really works *well*. THIS PRODUCT HAS CHANGED THE GAME COMPLETELY!!! I just got it today and after just a few short minutes I knew it was a winner, by far. The pictures I shared in my review were from a once-over on my bedding that I just lint rolled 3–4 days ago. I was so giddy with the result I ran around my mother’s house where two more cats live (including one long hair) and hit a bunch of the surfaces there. I am in disbelief at the amount of hair this thing picks up. It leaves nothing behind." —Felicia G

Price: $24.99 (available in four colors and a version for clothes)

Promising review: "I finally received my new body spray yesterday and was in complete shock at the resemblance to Baccarat Rouge 540. This body spray is so delicious. It is definitely a Baccarat Rouge 540 [alternative]. There were so many reviews that said how much this body spray resembled the very pricey perfume, and they were all correct. I absolutely love Baccarat Rouge 540, but it's so expensive compared to other perfumes like Chanel, so I opt not to purchase it regularly. This body spray is a wonderful substitute for overpriced perfume." —Tina

Price: $39 (also available in other scents)

My former colleague Haley Zovickian adores her Kindle: "It has, no exaggeration, revolutionized my life. I love mine for so many reasons — it's truly helped me incorporate my love of reading into my often hectic life, and all my titles literally live inside of this half-pound wonder gadget, so I can switch between books super easily. For traveling, this is a literal dream. I don't have to pick between titles and then regret the entire trip that I didn't bring the one I left at home — and, as any book lover knows, traveling with books is heavy as hell, and the Kindle literally completely eliminates that weight. Traveling will never be the same for me. BTW, I am also obsessed with the Libby app, which allows you to check out e-books from your local library on your Kindle!! My inner child is *screaming* with joy."

Price: $159.99 (available in three colors, with or without lockscreen ads, and with or without three free months of Kindle Unlimited)

Promising review: "I LOVE my JavaSok!! I am an iced coffee fanatic and now I have three JavaSoks! It really works! I keep one in my car at all times. I bought the medium, which is perfect for a large Peet's Iced coffee. It really keeps your coffee cold MUCH longer than without it. And where I live, it is 100 degrees often. I also like that I can bring my coffee with me into work, etc, and there is zero condensation left on a surface. Other bonus? When you don't have a coffee, it's a soft spot to set your phone in the car." —Wanda G

Price: $14.99+ (available in five sizes and dozens of styles)

Promising review: "I LOVE these!!! I only use Mr pen and one other brand after trying MANY. I am very picky about if these bleed through and these are the only ones that do not bleed through my Bible pages! I have two highlighters that have still lasted past a year now. I am a huge user of Mr pen and have tried three highlighter sets and the pens , and they are by far the best for my Bible. They are so smooth to highlight with." —Margaret Esterly

Price: $6.85 for an eight-pack (available in 33 color combos)

It also has a mode that turns this into a vibration plate!

Promising review: "I absolutely love this treadmill pad so much that I actually bought two of them. One for my home and one for my rental where I work. That alone should say a lot. It’s lightweight, easy to move around, and doesn’t take up a ton of space, which is huge for me. The app is a fun bonus it has different training programs that make it feel less boring and more motivating to use regularly. The vibration plate feature is honestly one of my favorite parts. It’s great for foot massages after a long day, and I also use it when I’m working out with weights for extra activation and recovery. Overall, I love everything about it. Super convenient, well designed, and actually something I use consistently. Definitely worth it." —jennibell

Price: $169.97+ (available in two styles)

Promising review: "Four years strong!! It has held up amazing. We had a cat that would climb our posts and sit on the top of it and it still perfectly fine. It still looks great! Our patio doesn’t start getting shade til about 2–3 p.m., and the canopy makes the pool start getting shade around 11–12 a.m. Which is great! My kids would be sunburnt if we didn’t have it. It does flap in the wind some but we had to use zip ties to get it to reach where we needed it. A bigger canopy wouldn’t have worked, this is the size we needed. The zip ties fail about once every year or two, and we have to replace them as they go, but the canopy is going strong! We love it. Much cooler on the hot summer days under it!" —_Ellis_

Price: $23.99+ (available in 16 colors, 25 standard sizes, and a variety of custom sizes)

This purifier can cover up to 1,073-square-foot spaces

Promising review: "I’ve been using this daily for about six months now. It still works just as well as the day I got it. It’s amazing/gross to see just how much dust and dander the filter picks up. I have several cats and a dog (I’m not allergic, but they still produce a lot of dander), and I also have seasonal allergies—plus a deviated septum, so before getting this I felt congested almost daily. This purifier is truly one of the best purchases I’ve made on Amazon! I am considering buying a second one, as I’ve just moved into a larger house. It removes smells, and I can genuinely feel that the air I’m breathing is cleaner. I feel less congested. People comment that my house doesn’t smell like I have cats, which is so important to me lol!! I can’t think of a single negative for this product. It was money very well spent, in my opinion. I don’t have any regrets choosing this air purifier (there are so many models out there, it was overwhelming to first decide which one I wanted!!) 10/10 product!" —AmazonCust0mer

Price: $99 (available in black and white, plus a WiFi-enabled version). You can also get a mini size for up to 255 sq. ft. for $39.99.

Promising review: "This product is amazing. I used it for my chicken and dumplings recipe. I figured it was another one of a “too good to be true” items, but this does everything it says it does. I literally shredded two large chicken breasts in seconds, yes SECONDS!! I wish I would’ve taken a video, but I didn’t. It didn’t move/slip from the counter and it was perfection! Wow, just Wow!" —Ruthie V

"I’m so glad I bought this! I hate peeling chicken and honestly now get excited to use it. I guess that’s life in your late 30s LMAO." —Mama2727

Promising review: "As a new 30-year-old, I’ve started to notice some aches and pains in the mornings. After suffering terrible neck pain and restless nights, I decided to purchase these pillows after seeing such good reviews. I have had them for about a week now, and I feel incredible! I am a belly/side sleeper, and these are the most amazing pillows I’ve ever used. I sleep soundly and don’t wake up in the night trying to get comfortable. I just purchased two more! These are the best find!!!!!!" —Hope Carlson

Get a set of two down-alternative pillows from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in three sizes).

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has to say about them: "Hello, I'm a walking cliché of Woman In Her Mid-30s Who Is Very Obsessed With Protein, since it took me three decades to realize I'm in a much better mood all day if I cram it in at every opportunity. I'm very, VERY picky about the protein bars I'll eat — Barebells and Nick's are my go-tos — and these Built bars knocked it out of the park! They have a truly marshmallow-like consistency and the most ridiculously satisfying texture and chewiness. The flavors I've tried have all been spot-on, and they don't leave any kind of aftertaste. I am perpetually out and about and in need of a snack, so I have one of these in my purse at all times!"

Price: $29.99 for a sampler box of 12 (also available in individual flavors)

Promising reviews: "I didn’t think I would ever be so excited about such a thing as washing machine cleaning tablets. I also never realized how dirty my washing machine was. It now sparkles, doesn’t smell musty, and has removed so much gunk from around the drum/gasket. You should get these." —AVDW

Price: $10.98 for a pack of six (also available in a pack of 12)
