Promising review: "Okay these are by far the best earbuds I’ve ever used. No exaggeration. My husband had these in his Amazon cart a couple of months ago but never checked out. Well it’s about to be Christmas soon, so I chose to get these on the sly for him. When they came in I wanted to make sure everything was working correctly before wrapping them up for Christmas. The sound quality is absolutely perfect, the noice cancellation is AMAZING! They were on low and the sound was crystal clear. I asked my 6-year-old son to talk so I could see how well they canceled out noise and I couldn’t hear him, so I told him to shout and I still couldn’t hear him at all. My husband will absolutely love these!! Also, now I need to get myself a pair as well! Definitely happy with my purchase!" —Ashley Haley

It comes with one pillow, two chains, and two S-shaped hooks.

Promising review: "There is nothing more comfortable than being cradled and rocked in a hammock that is comfortable with its padded quilted canvas, built-in pillow, and the size built for two. The craftsmanship and anchors give you a secure feeling." —Just.Rob.Stone

Get it from Amazon for $74.28+ (available in nine colors/prints).

Promising review: "Like to keep your beer cold? Get this. Slow drinker but don't want to let your friends on to how slow you're drinking? Get this. Want your White Claw/Truly to stay as cold as it was when you took it out of your fridge? Get this. I kid you not, this thing keeps drinks cold like that's its job (because it is). Once I got mine and saw how effective it was, I decided all of my cold beverage loving friends and family will be getting one also. With most of my friends being Michelob Ultra and White Claw drinkers, this seems to be the perfect fit. So hard to find a can koozie that holds those slim cans! Love this product and definitely recommend!" —Brooke Stull

Get it from Amazon for $18.79 (available in 31 colors).

Promising review: "New game for the family! I was not familiar with bocce, but saw this pop up on Amazon and thought it looked like fun to try. Came in a nice little case, and I found as long as I left the cardboard in the case it kept it sturdy. Balls are nice-looking, and have held up after many games. This game reminds me a lot of bowling-miniature bowling. Fun family game!" —D.D.

Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available with resin balls or soft rubber ones).

My husband is admittedly a "gadget guy" and has had one of these kits for as long as I can remember. He's a big fan of the brand and loves that every set comes with a lifetime warranty.

Promising review: "Seriously, I have been repairing small electronics for decades now, over 30 dang years, and I will say this is probably the best deal and collection you can get for simple to even complicated repairs. It has a crapload of bits, but essentially everything you will need as opposed to the next larger offering, though I am still considering getting that for my dungeon downstairs. I keep this upstairs literally in the kitchen since a lot of impromptu repairs occur at the dining room table, but I have not been let down. This is top-notch/quality material and manufacturing. It not only feels comfortable but is also very strong, and bits do not let go of screws. It has a great deal of bits too, 64 in fact. It pretty much covers all the phone and laptop screws you will encounter and even has some socket ones too. Nice touch." —Riboild

Get it from Amazon for $39.99.

Promising review: "I purchased these for a friend's birthday present (he is a sushi waiter) and these are flippin' AMAZING. I ordered two sets by mistake, but I am totally keeping the second pair for another gift (or for myself!). These are sure to be great conversation pieces and attention-getters. Way to go!" —T. Redwood

Get two pairs from Amazon for $12.97.

Promising review: "Of all the things I have bought that I didn't need, this is one of my favorites. Beer is hard to get out of the cardboard carrier in the top of my fridge. While just taking them out and sitting them on the shelf would have solved this problem as well, this solution is more fun. They float and technically it does make a tiny bit of extra space under the beer for small things like cheese or something." —AbbyValentine

Get a set of two strips (six magnets) from Amazon for $29.99.

My husband has this record player and it's become such a beloved piece in our home. We love putting it on during dinner time and letting the music drift from the living room into the kitchen while we cook. Super soothing and gives you an excuse to start searching for all kinds of vinyl records to add to your collection. Note that you'll need to also pick up a pair of speakers to get the full experience.

Get it from Amazon for $149.

Promising review: "This item is the perfect addition to my record storage! I can easily flip through my favorite records without causing any damage to them. At first I didn't believe this would be strong enough to flip through up to 50 records and have them hold on the acrylic end piece. I was very wrong! This item is sturdy and strong. I started off just buying just one to see if I would like it and ended up getting another almost immediately. I have many different storage options for my vinyl and this is absolutely my current favorite!" —Kohl

Get it from Amazon for $22.95+ (available in eight styles).

My husband collects Lego cars and has them on display in his office — this was the most recent addition to his collection. He's been building Legos for decades now (literally), so this didn't take him very long at all to put together, despite the fact it has 2,336 pieces in the set. It looks very cool on the shelf, and he had a blast building it! Definitely worth the splurge for Lego and Land Rover fans.

Get it from Lego for $239.99.

Promising review: "Definitely a lot of fun! Got this for a friend after having bought two previous versions for us and for some cousins. Everybody loves playing it and ends up spending hours at a time! Helps you learn new words and while not exactly Scrabble, knowing a bunch of two letter words comes in handy when you're trying to win!" —Minion

Get it from Amazon for $12.99.

Rob's Backstage Popcorn is a small business that sells, well, popcorn! It's owned by Rob Garbowsky (father of Greg Garbowsky, a current member of the Jonas Brothers' management team). It's been a backstage staple of The Jonas Brothers' shows for years. I've tried a variety of their flavors so far and they are absolutely delicious.

Promising review: "Robs Backstage popcorn is deliciousness is every bag. The salty and sweet combo is irresistible and so so so good. I would definitely recommend this to any popcorn lover." —Hayley

Get six bags from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two flavors) and check out all the flavors on their site.

Promising review: "I've been using mine for over a year now, and it is seriously the best at what it does. Simple design, but it does a simple (but vital) task. I try to top it off before every round but often forget. That's fine because it seems to last three or four rounds, no problem. Even if you do run out of water, it still works as a simple brush until you can make it to a conveniently located water cooler or fountain on the golf course." —Ben M.

Get it from Amazon for $10.30.

Promising review: "I saw this product on one of Amazon’s must-have TikTok videos and I knew I had to get it. It was so worth it — even though the price may seem higher compared to other sellers, this is for sure a good investment piece. The quality is top notch, the strap that goes around your head is comfortable, and most importantly, the duration of each mode is long enough that it doesn’t interrupt your rest. I work a 12-hour night shift as a nurse and this technology has helped me get through the night easily👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in three colors).

Promising review: "As an only child, I felt this was a very appropriate gift for my coffee-loving father on Father's Day. :)" —Jey

Get it from Amazon for $16.97.

My colleague Jenae says it best: "Tears of the Kingdom, for those unaware, is the direct sequel to 2017's mega hit Breath of the Wild, and it's easily the most anticipated Nintendo Switch game this year, maybe even the past *several* years. Though story details are somewhat slim, we know that Link will take to the skies and explore the mysterious islands floating *above* Hyrule as well as return to the sprawling landscapes below, with a host of new abilities to wield for puzzle-solving, exploration, and combat. I got the chance to play over an hour of Tears of the Kingdom at a recent Nintendo event, and it's gotten me seriously pumped for this latest Zelda adventure. Graphics- and gameplay-wise, it very much feels like Breath of the Wild, but with more freedom than ever before to manipulate the environment and get creative with how you approach, well, pretty much anything. I know I'll be diving in on release day (May 12!) and will probably lose over 100 hours of my life to TOTK like I did with BOTW, and if you love Zelda, open-world games, and (TBH) cozy vibes, it might just be the *best* way to treat yourself."

Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available physically or as a digital code, which can be redeemed on the Nintendo eShop). It's playable on any Nintendo Switch console, including Switch OLED and Switch Lite.

Psst — if you've been itching to get a new console lately or upgrade your current Switch model, Nintendo just released a *gorgeous* special edition of the OLED model for Tears of the Kingdom, available for $359.99!

Get it from our Goodful shop for $34.99.

Promising review: "Out of all the barbecue and grill products he got for Father’s Day, this was his favorite gift. He gets so many comments on it when we’re out!" —Ashley

Get it from Amazon for $18.95+ (available in men's sizes S–5XL and three colors).

Perilogics is a small business!

Promising review: "If you watch anything on your phone during a flight, you need one of these! I purchased them for my husband and me for use on a recent flight, and they worked like magic. The design is lightweight and compact to pack, easy to 'hang' and adjust to keep your phone at eye-level to then sit back and relax. Definitely better than having to hold your phone in your lap or the tray table and get a kink in your neck looking down. Everyone sitting around us on the plane asked where we got them. Totally worth it and highly recommend." —Amy Fritzer

Get it from Amazon for $12.97 (available in two colors).

Promising review: "WOW!!! This is the fourth grass clipper I've had — all different brands. This is BY FAR the best! The blades cut well, it's easy to turn on and off (you don't need to be a contortionist or use two hands), fits nicely in my hand, and the battery lasts far longer than any other cutter I've had. I can't tell you how pleased I am! Highly recommend this. Haven't tried the trimmer yet, but can't imagine it not being just as great! SO glad I bought this." —suezieqt

Get it from Amazon for $29.98.

Promising review: "Love these, have purchased a few times and will now buy the 50-pack because they really add a ton of fun to my bonfires. Depending on how much your fire is raging they will last 30–60 minutes. I use two to three packets at a time. Highly recommend." —JAO

Get six packets from Amazon for $5.50.

Honestly, this chair is also a fantastic option for anyone who spends hours at their desk while working from home! My sister has this chair (she and her fiancé are constantly fighting over who gets to use it) and loves how supportive it is. It is made with a mesh seat that has been designed to keep fresh air circulating, lumbar support, a fixed back reclining system, adjustable arm rests and a head rest, and locking wheels so you won't roll all over the place. It also features a really sleek design Dad won't mind in his office.

Get it from Mavix for $444 (originally $444; available in four styles).

BuzzFeed contributor Rebecca O'Connell has played with these and was a big fan. She explained:

"My friend has these and there is one question that I think about CONSTANTLY. The gist was basically to imagine your absolute perfect dream home (like seriously, really think about every detail and piece of furniture) and then answer the question "would you live there if it was two miles underground?" Like, YES you can live in a mansion with a secret library and slides and a functioning Rube Goldberg machine that feeds you breakfast — but at what cost?"

Get it from Amazon for $15.99.

You can also use this in your room to keep valuables protected. Additionally, SafeGo is a small business!

Promising review: "I bought this to take on a vacation to the Virgin Islands because my husband is super paranoid about leaving valuables unattended on the beach. At first, he scoffed that this little plastic thing wasn’t going to stop a thief, and I had wasted my money. Then he admitted that the plastic was pretty sturdy, and it was cool that we could secure the cable to our beach chairs, a fence, or a tree (most petty thieves don’t carry around cable cutters). Next thing I know, he’s storing his wallet, phone, and room keys in it along with mine. He laced the cable through other things he didn’t want stolen, like the bags containing our snorkel gear. Neighboring beachgoers asked about it and where they could get one, and he was quick to demonstrate its features. And when we got home, I overheard him showing it to his friends, with as much approval as he could muster. Hate to say I told you so...OK, no I don’t." —Patsy

Get it from Amazon for $49.95 (available in five colors).

Promising review: "I was just looking at these pillows again in case I had to purchase new ones. I originally purchased them two years ago. They are the most wonderful and comfy pillows I've ever had. When I read the reviews saying they washed up badly, I was ready to buy new ones. Lo and behold, I washed them and dried them in the dryer, and they turned out great. I just have the older type stackable washer and dryer set, not large, just regular sized. I put both pillows in the washer on gentle, then put both pillows in the dryer. I ran the dryer on medium heat and ran the cycle several times, just to make sure. I'm happy they turned out so well 'cause I love these pillows!" —T. Rune

Get a set of two from Amazon for $49.99 (available in Standard/Queen or King sizing).

This is the same umbrella used by the current McLaren Formula 1 Team! It features a UV- and heat-reducing fabric that lowers temperatures up to 10 degrees when it's unbearably hot outside.

Get it from Amazon (also available in seven other colors) or Weatherman for $84.

I cannot tell you how invaluable this membership has been for me. I have a 1-year-old (which I find hard to believe, damn it really does go fast!) and spend my nights unwinding by playing Disney Dreamlight Valley and other soothing video games. Being a parent is no joke, so it's been great to have a no-stress outlet available to me. There are countless games to play on Game Pass so even if you get bored with one you can easily move on to another, no strings attached. It's fantastic.

I have an Xbox Series S and am forever impressed by all the things it can do in addition to being used for playing video games. You can download a slew of apps on it (Discord, Spotify, Disney+, the list goes on) and essentially use it as a smart TV. It's the smallest Xbox they've come out with so far (I was literally shocked at how tiny and sleek it is when I took it out of the box), but is still packed with great sound and visual specs. My husband set it up in our room so we can hang out and play games before going to sleep — it's great!

If you're intimidated by the thought of trying to help your teen set up the console, you can actually book a one-on-one appointment with a Microsoft Expert to set the entire thing up for you!

Get it from Microsoft for $299.99.

I personally own this book and am lucky enough to live in the same town as the original establishment (which has been open since the 1940s!). Nick Voulgaris III, who purchased the farm when it had fallen into a state of disrepair in 2013, has revived it into a flourishing business (and overall lovely place to hang out). He's even opened a second location on Bleecker Street in NYC! If you don't live in New York, you can still have a taste of Kerber's delicious offerings by using this book to whip 'em up yourself.

Get it from Amazon for $29.29 or a signed copy directly from Kerber's Farm site for $37.50.

Promising review: "No more tangled headphone cables! I bought a pair for my desk at home, and I'm purchasing another pair for my office. I love how neat and untangled my earbud cords are when using this organizer. It's leather, which I'm sure will last many, many years for such a great price." —Jane M

Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in five colors).

Promising review: "We love this lounge chair!!! The price was fabulous!! (And just a note... If you take care of your things — i.e. cover up the swing with a tarp and bring the cushions in when not using it — It will stay like new. Sun and rain can age anything! Easy-peasy!!) This lounge swing is so comfortable, and made very well!! And it only took my hubby and I only 25–30 minutes to put together. Take my word for it... you are not going to find a nicer lounge swing at this price!!" —Marash

Get it from Amazon for $219.99 (available in eight colors).

Icebreaker is a Texas-based small business estabished in 2020 by Danish engineer Kim Jensen.

Promising review: "We have a small freezer and no icemaker, and have been using fiddly trays for years. Icebreaker Pop has changed everything! No more leaky ice trays spilling in the freezer, (or on the way to the freezer), and no ice picking up weird smells and tastes from the freezer. Icebreaker Pop is self contained and easy to use: you fill it up with water (but be careful not to overfill, because it does expand as it freezes. Physics!), seal the top, and put it in the freezer. Once it's frozen, you lay it on a flat surface, press down hard on it a couple of times on each side to crack the ice, and pull apart with both handles. You now have 18 cubes of clean ice that dispense from the opening, eliminating the need to touch the cubes as you add them to your glass. The cubes are a little smaller than from regular ice trays, but that's okay with us. Icebreaker Pop is also cool-looking and easy to clean; it's made up of three easy-to-separate pieces that are a snap to wash thoroughly. Very happy with this product!" —Leah Koepp

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five colors).

My husband has said this is the best thing I've ever gotten for him — and he's verrrrrry snobby about his coffee. He looks forward to the monthly deliveries and loves that he gets to test out different beans all the time. This site will ask you a series of questions like "how do you usually make your coffee at home?" and "what is your coffee experience level?" and then pair you with a coffee Trade thinks you'd be best suited for. It's like having a barista customize your drink for you all the time! You can add in a cold brew kit (summer is almost here!) to enjoy your coffee cold and then switch back anytime you'd prefer the *hot stuff* again.

Gift a 3 bag subscription from Trade Coffee for $60 (also available in 6 or 12 bag subscriptions).

It comes with seven bottles (three glass and three squeeze-bottles), a two-inch funnel, apple cider vinegar, spice blend, two pairs of gloves, five pH strips, peppers, instruction card, and labels.

Promising review: "I bought this product as a gift for my s/o, he loves to cook and loves all things spicy. Recently he had ordered ghost peppers and didn’t know what to do with them. So I started researching hot sauce kits and came across this one. We were not disappointed!! The packaging was cute and making the hot sauce was something fun and different to enjoy together. Having this kit it made it so easy!!! All of our friends have heard about our hot sauce-making adventure and want to know where to get a kit for themselves. Everything is included: tiny glass storing bottles, the spices, little squeeze bottles and tiny fill-in labels. He absolutely loved this gift and I can’t believe I got it for the price, considering everything that’s included. 10/10 would recommend" —Sam

Get it from Amazon for $49.95. This same company also makes kits for creating your own gin.

Promising review: "This thing is great. Cheaper than smaller versions in auto parts stores, secures everything I have thrown at it. Just went out to test the magnet's strength due to another reviewer saying it couldn’t hold much, and it held a ball-peen hammer, a 10-inch socket wrench, two 10-inch crescent wrenches, a couple sockets/extensions, and some screws (tray mounted sideways). The tray obviously wasn’t designed to hold things that large but just wanted to test its abilities (and I’m sure it could hold more). Does a fine job, highly recommended." —KW

Get it from Amazon for $8.71.

Promising review: "How did I go so long without one of these??? The Saucemoto was my first 'TikTok Made Me Buy It' purchase and I have no regrets. It clips easily to my car's vent and the sauce cups clip in easily so I can dip and drive. No more trying not to dump the sauce by accident while steering with the same hand that's holding the dip cup. It even comes with a dip cup for those places that do the pouches for their sauces rather than the cups. (I'm looking at you, Arby's.) Ya know, you end up squeezing the sauce onto the wrapper that's balanced on your lap and you end up getting some sauce on your steering wheel. OR you try the whole 'wrapper and sauce on the passenger seat and try to dip while watching the road,' which usually doesn't turn out so great." —Pleasure Pamela

Get set of two from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in four colors and sets of four, six, and 10).

Promising review: "These playing cards are a HIT. I take them out with me for social events and when visiting people, even to the beach. We just play and play. So you can get them wet and they won't soggy up and tear it just become a little hard to shuffle. It is so cool that they look like you can see right straight through them but you can't." —Tabitha

Get them from Amazon for $6.96.

Promising review: "We need something to let the kids sing without having to turn on the whole karaoke system. This works like a charm. The Bluetooth connection helps as well. You can just turn on YouTube and look for any song and they probably have a karaoke version or a song-a-long they can sing to. The range is also great. We were outside and the volume can be heard nicely." —Phong Bui

Get it from Amazon for $20.99 (available in 17 colors).

Promising review: "These racks are AWESOME! I heard about them from an article in our local newspaper. So glad we purchased them. They are really neat riding up and down with the garage door. Keeps the rods and reels safe and are most certainly out of the way! We like them so much we're going to purchase a couple more!" —Doolen102

Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in two sizes).

BuzzFeed editor Maitland Quitmeyer is a big fan, she said: "I have this speaker and I *love* it — it lives right on my bookshelves (without taking up basically *any* room) and fills my apartment with high quality sound. The lil' portable size is perfect so I can grab it and take it into the kitchen for baking jams™ or into my bathroom for my latest in-shower karaoke session (sorry neighbors). I also barely *ever* have to charge it. And yes, that *is* a Jane Austen action figure next to it."

Get it from Amazon for $120.45.

Reviewers love this because it doesn't require you to "smart enable" other parts of your home. I need to get one of these for my husband who drags himself out of bed every morning to turn on his espresso machine.

Promising review: "This is exactly what I was looking for and had no idea it existed until I saw someone mention it on TikTok! Our front walkway gets pretty dark at night, and I was frustrated with trying to remember to turn on the light every evening and off every morning. I looked into those light sensors you can plug in, but our front porch light is under an awning with enough shade that it would have kept the light on 24/7. This little Switchbot solved the problem. I applied it to the indoor light switch and set the time on my phone. It has worked perfectly ever since." —Alecia McLochlin

Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in white and black).

Promising review: "We waffled about getting this kettle. Surely the cheapie electric one we had would do the trick for amateur pour-over enthusiasts? No. Wrong. This is superior in every aspect. The temperature-holding feature is amazing — no more heating up the water, forgetting you started, and heating it again. Definitely more consistent in temperature, creating more consistent cups of coffee." —Emily A.

Get it from Fellow for $195 (available in 13 colors and styles) or from Amazon for $159.95+ (available in seven styles).

Promising review: "This coffee grinder cost about twice what my old one cost, but it is money well spent. It is reasonably quiet, produces a uniform grind, and the ground coffee empties easily out of the container. My old one produced a powder that got on my hands and the counter, and I had to wash it out of the container. Don't waste your money on a cheap grinder." —Don Bishop

Get it from Amazon for $149 (available in two colors).

Petcube is a Ukrainian-based small business that specializes in interactive HD pet camera products. It can send you instant notifications via its app and sync with Amazon Alexa.

Promising review: "We have had the original Petcube for some time and have loved being able to see our furry friend (cat) when we are away. We had always talked about getting another one so that we could see more of her while we are traveling. Enter the new Petcube...a petite footprint with a wide-angle lens. Easy to set up and easy to use. Absolutely perfect." —NLVG

Get it from Amazon for $34.99.

Check out a TikTok of the computer shade in action.

Promising review: "Great product! Finally able to work by the pool without the computer overheating or the glare making it difficult to answer emails efficiently. A must-buy for anyone who works remotely and wants to soak up some summer vitamin D." —Jackie Wittlinger

Get it from Amazon for $54.99+ (available in two sizes).

Reviewer's have also noted that, due to its versatility, this float is fantastic if you're pregnant!

Promising review: "This floaty is an absolute must for any vacation or home pool. Easy to pack and inflate. I saw another person floating around the pool with ease in Cancun and immediately hopped online to purchase. Best purchase ever made!! You can seriously relax comfortably in the water with this floaty and use it for multiple positions in the pool. Everyone who used it fell asleep relaxing in the water. Don’t give it a second thought. Buy it!!!" —Chrissy_Chris

Get it from Amazon for $12.93 (available in nine colors).

Woodland Steelworks is a small business based in Woodstock, Georgia that hand-selects the pieces of wood they use to make quality furniture and decor.

Promising review: "Love it!!! We needed a portable table for our adult beverages while sitting by the fire pit or when playing cornhole and we found it!!! This beer table even has a bottle opener attached to the side! Well crafted and totally exceeded our expectations. Shipped quickly and packaged well." —dawn ricci
