Promising review: "I bought this screen to watch movies outside on my deck. It was easy to assemble, so easy I didn’t even need to look at the directions. I assembled by myself. It came with bags to fill with sand to place on the base of each leg, but I ended up using large bags of rice I had instead and it worked fine. It also came with strings to secure each end in case of wind which I did and it was a breezy day and it held up great." —Sfat Get it from Amazon for $65.39. Promising review: "WHAT KIND OF SORCERY IS THIS??? I have never once felt a blanket that constantly keeps you cool? I am ALWAYS hot, but I love to be under blankets. This is the PERFECT blanket to keep from overheating. It feels like athletic-type material. A must-buy!!!" —Kenzie Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in five sizes and 11 colors). Promising review: "These actually work really well! They are long enough to actually reach my side of the bed so I can keep my phone next to me at night. They are also definitely fast charging. It takes maybe two hours to charge my phone from being completely dead. I'm very happy with this purchase." —Micah Ferrell Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 11 colors). Promising review: "I will never buy another pair of warm weather PJs again other than these. I am a thirty-something post-baby lady, and with my hormones paired with living in Arizona, I needed PJs that were cool and comfortable. But I often found that the fabric of other PJs would rapidly get worn, pilled, and rough. These silky soft PJs have been going strong for months now through countless hot flashes and heat waves when it would get into the 80s in our bedroom. If you are a hot-blooded person and need to cool down, I can't recommend these PJs enough. I literally never leave reviews but felt compelled to preach to others the good word of Latuza's PJs." —Margery Get it from Amazon for $23.66+ (available in women's sizes S–4XL and 20 colors). Promising review: "This is an amazing hammock! The bright colors, the sturdiness and the very easy setup. It took myself and my sister in law about five minutes to setup. 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 Get it from Amazon for $69.30+ (available in 16 colors/patterns). BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes has this exact tower fan: "As someone who doesn't have an AC in her bedroom (because it's a fire escape window), LET ME TELL YOU: It comes in clutch. And not only in the summer, but year-round — in the winter, this thing keeps us from burning up once our ~overzealous~ radiator kicks on (New Yorkers know). So yeah, our Dreo fan works pretty much 365 days a year and has been going strong since summer 2023. It has six speeds, though I only need to kick it up to full blast occasionally. It keeps me cool at night, it's quiet, and the night mode is super handy because it turns off the LED display quickly if you need to adjust the speed during the night. You can mute the little beeping sounds with the remote too if needed." 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 two colors as well as a smart Wi-Fi model).  You get about 18 hours of playtime on a full charge, and if you're just using the torch light, it’ll last a whole week! You can recharge them with a USB cable in 4-5 hours. Plus, they can connect to your device in just three seconds, even from 100 feet away. Promising review: "I needed waterproof speakers that could sit outside, and I’m so glad I found these. They give off a nice ambiance when sitting out back, and the sound is loud but not too loud to disturb neighbors. Bluetooth connection is easy. So far so good, and I’m satisfied with the purchase." —applefir Get a set of two from Amazon for $69.99.  No ice is required to create your frozen concoctions, and the process takes 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the ingredients, volume, and starting temperature. It's essential to include sugar for the mixture to achieve the perfect slush; sugar-free recipes alone won't achieve the desired consistency. To ensure optimal slushing, consider adding one of the recommended sugar substitutes (included in the recipe book). Promising review: "The Ninja Slushi is an absolute gem for anyone who loves frozen drinks! It’s incredibly easy to use—just pour in your favorite soda, juice, or cocktail mix, pick a preset, and in under an hour, you’ve got a perfectly slushy treat. I made a cherry cola slush that tasted just like a 7-Eleven Slurpee, and the texture was spot-on. The machine is quiet, easy to clean with its rinse cycle and dishwasher-safe parts, and the 88-oz capacity is great for sharing. It’s a bit bulky, but the fun and delicious drinks make it worth the counter space. Highly recommend for summer parties or daily treats." —Raj Get it from Amazon for $349.99. It also has built-in benches and cup holders so you can lounge comfortably with your favorite drink close by! Promising review: "This pool has been a great summertime addition to beat the Texas heat! My daughter, husband, and I are enjoying it so much! It’s a pretty good size, easy to set up, and, so far, is holding up pretty well! I did purchase a couple of additional items to keep the water/ pool clean and covered. I was quite skeptical at first as we had already purchased another pool this summer that didn’t last, but this pool was it! If you’re looking for something to relax in and cool off, go for it!" —Pineapple_Beauty94 Get it from Amazon for $72.89. This weatherproof fan has a fully sealed and permanently lubricated industrial motor to protect it against wetness. And! If you’re craving an extra touch of cool, you can easily upgrade this into a misting fan with a separate misting kit. Promising review: "Great fan at a good price! I bought this fan for my backyard to help circulate the air in hot days and to help deter mosquitoes at night around the firepit. This fan worked perfectly. It has three speeds, the highest of which is super strong. The fan at high speed is a bit noisy, but nothing unexpected of a powerful fan. It is also 100% waterproof, which is a must. My only minor issues would be 1) it would be nice if the fan came with a cover for when it’s not used (I bought 20-inch tire storage covers to do the job), and 2) the fan is only adjustable up and down not side to side — if they could make it oscillate that would be great. Having said that, I would recommend this fan for sure and would not hesitate to buy it again." —Bigdad Get it from Amazon for $98.63+ (available in two sizes). Helpfully, this book measures in grams *and* tablespoons, so you can bake however you prefer.  Promising review: "I love this book and all of Edd Kimber's recipes! This book is perfect if you want to try baking a lot of things but don't have a big family or budget. The recipes are sized-down versions of all the classics plus other mouthwatering temptations. So you can try them all without wasting money on ingredients — standard recipes make 12–24 servings, too much for my small family. Small Batch Bakes recipes are for just 2–6 servings, much more reasonable and efficient. Also included are clever use-also recipes — like if recipe A calls for 1 egg white, you can easily find a recipe B that uses that 1 egg yolk. Such a smart book to put out, thank you Edd Kimber!!" —Emily McGee Get it from Amazon for $15.54. Promising review: "Changed my life. So I get anxious doing the adult coloring books. This was so much fun and made me really think outside of the box. I'm not the best at drawing but I felt like I was when I was a kid doodling in my textbooks in school." —Carley C. Get it from Amazon for $11.90. BuzzFeed Contributor Jordan Grigsby says: "I have these and, well, you can see from the pics above how absolutely amazing they are. I'm beyond obsessed. I love coloring, I have very very terrible anxiety so I like to do little things that relax me, and keep my mind focused on one thing that's happening right in that moment so that my mind isn't racing all day. I had been eyeing these Disney color-by-number coloring books I had seen on TikTok and knew I wanted quality markers to color in them. I had *also* seen these all over TikTok, and they're much cheaper than the Tooli brand, plus, 120 markers for $55 vs 30 Tooli markers for $35 — it was a no-brainer. I have not a single regret in buying these bad boys. They make my pictures look freaking GORGEOUS. I can't stop coloring now, I color for at least an hour or two every day. And they don't bleed through!! Which surprised me cuz I do at least 3 layers for darker colors and like 5–8 layers for lighter colors. No bleed through in the slightest. I highly recommend both the coloring book and definitely these markers if you love to color. Now I want the 168-pack." Get a 120-pack from Amazon for $53.99 (also available in other pack sizes). This net measures 10 x 10 feet. But if you need to cover a larger space, you can link up to three nets together! With the timer function, the lights stay on for six hours and automatically turn off for 18 hours.  Promising reviews: "These lights look beautiful in our gazebo. It feels like you are looking up at the stars. I definitely recommend these!!!" —Martha Guerra "Perfect upgrade for your deck. Transforms the atmosphere into something enjoyable. The result is a constellation of warm stars, evenly spaced, that do not distract. Instead, they direct your attention to your beautiful deck and your guests and so on." —sharpShopper654 Get it from Amazon for $23.74 (available in two sizes and with 270 or 360 LEDs). Plus, when you flip back over, there's a pillow that covers the hole to keep your head comfortable.  Promising review: "This is typically more than I would have spent on a lounge chair, but after seeing it on TikTok, I had to buy one!! The arm and face hole make tanning the backside so easy and comfortable!" —Keely Shay Get it from Amazon for $48.99+ (available in 11 colors/patterns).  Promising review: "We moved from New Hampshire to Florida a year and a half ago. I knew Florida was hot but…I bought this so I could sit out on the lanai on the hottest of days (95+) and it did the trick! It provides a nice light mist that you can move in any direction. It’s a nice weight so it doesn’t move. It obviously cannot replace a swimming pool but it will keep you cool. My dog likes the light mist and has even fallen asleep while being sprayed! An easy alternative until we get a pool! Buy it, you won’t regret it!" —Patricia Harty Get it from Amazon for $20.33. Promising review: "I first got introduced to this polish system at a local spa while getting a pedicure. This is hands-down the best polish system I have ever used. It is so gentle on my sensitive nails and dries literally within five minutes. I buy the kit myself and do my nails and take the kit with me to the spa, I currently go to, because this is the only polish I will use ever again." —Lisa T Get it from Amazon for $39 (available in 24 sets).  Whether you choose to wear it overnight or for a few hours while lounging at home, your skin will thank you with a radiant glow. Check out a TikTok of this mask in action. Promising review: "Third-time buyer here! 🤚🏽 I love the way this mask makes my skin feel. The way it hydrates and makes it look like glass is amazing. I get tons of compliments on my skin! I like to wash my face and apply this mask at night while watching my fave TV show so I forget about it. Once it's translucent, then I take it off. I leave it on for at least 20 minutes before I start moving around to avoid it slipping off. Definitely recommend. I have put a few people onto this mask and they all love it!" —Lynnette G. Get a pack of four from Amazon for $14.25 (also available in a 16-pack and two other versions). It can be powered with the included AC adaptor, D batteries (not included), or a power bank (not included). Promising review: "Fantastic product at so many levels. It is compact and fully functional out of the box. Great for beginners or advanced players children or adults. If it only chased the hit balls and reloaded them, it would be perfect. Kids play for hours, and it challenges adult skills and mobility when in the rotate mode." —BobW Get it from Amazon for $119.99. Promising review: "I saw one of these in action at a friend's house like five years ago and thought it was just a made-up memory, because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems wild. But when I saw a TikTok about it I immediately went to Amazon and bought it. Literally this was the BEST decision of my life. I cannot believe still how amazing this thing is! It makes the creamiest, best-tasting fruit ice cream ever. It’s easy to take apart and clean, and super easy to use." —DMCKAY Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in four colors).  The Alexa feature can find shows, launch apps, and even dim the lights so you don't have to move. Promising review: "Behold, the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K – because who needs sunshine when you have a remote control and a couch? This little device is like a magic wand for turning living rooms into entertainment kingdoms. It's basically the scepter of laziness. Skip, pause, play – it's like having a personal assistant for your binge-watching needs. Just don't be surprised if you start referring to it as 'your precious.' In conclusion, the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K is the unsung hero of every movie night, turning us all into certified couch potatoes. It's so awesome that even your grandma is probably using one to binge-watch her favorite shows. So, grab your popcorn, sink into that cushiony paradise, and let the Fire TV Stick 4K work its pixelated magic! —Brittney Get it from Amazon for $29.99. Check out a TikTok of the popcorn maker in action. And grab some gourmet popcorn kernels to use at home if you need 'em! Promising review: "This little popcorn popper is perfect! No fuss, no mess, no chasing popcorn kernels!! Fabulous! Easy to use — the popcorn maker part fits into the bowl part for easy storage. This is one perfect unit!" —Chrystal  Get it from Amazon for $39.99.  Cup Cozy Pillow is a small family-owned business that started when co-founder Monica Almaguer couldn’t find a way to keep her drink close to her without spilling it. So she got a pillow, cut a hole in it, and the Cup Cozy was born! Promising review: "This stays in my bed and holds my cup of water, meds, remote, reading glasses, etc. Now I don't lose anything and have my things ready right when I need them. Highly recommend this product!" —Chrissy Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in eight styles, including a faux leather option). Promising review: "SO many ways to utilize this snack box! So far, we have used it for movie night and park snacks during our walks. This is going to be a necessity for this summer with our daughters' sports schedules. Love! I will be buying the larger one they offer. It’s going to be perfect for summer fruits!" —Daniella Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in seven styles and packs). Promising review: "Perfect floating table. We have an above-ground pool without a deck and nowhere really to put our stuff. This is a perfect solution. I put my phone in a dry box and set it on this float. I keep my sunscreen, my waterproof speaker, lip balm, and snacks all in the middle, and then, of course, drinks in the DEEP cup holders, no tipping or spilling! I bought this one because I can put a small umbrella in it and just lean it against the rainbow — it shades my phone and speaker from the sun and keeps my drink in the shade. I love this float! Highly recommend!" —Marshall Get it from Amazon for $14.99. Promising review: "I’ve been meaning to get something like this for years. Our patio has no cover at all, especially in early spring when the leaves aren’t back. The sun is unbearable at times. We bought the install kit and used it to attach the two sides to the house and used a ratchet strap to attach the other end to a tree on the other side of the patio. So far it’s holding up well. We added lights, which makes it super cozy at night and completely changes the feel of our patio." —Kaitlyn Tugend Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in 14 colors, two shapes, 21 standard sizes, and a variety of custom sizes). Nap Guardian is a small business that specializes in doorbell covers for home use.  Promising review: "This is well-made and very easy to apply. I have it on my Ring doorbell camera, and it keeps delivery people from ringing my doorbell very well. It also does not obstruct my view or notifications for my Ring doorbell camera. Great for when taking a nap!" —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two styles).  It's weather-resistant and has drainage holes at the bottom. Promising review: "This thing is great and perfect to start off the spring/summer. We dumped a giant bag of ice in there and kept our drinks cold all afternoon. The swivel top is convenient and fun. Love that it’s a table and an aesthetically pleasing cooler." —Shana Get it from Amazon for $119.99 (available in four colors and with a flat or fluted surface). Along with your repeller, you'll get one 12-hour refill and a USB charging cable. The repeller lasts for 5.5 hours on a single charge, and you can expect to see results as soon as 15 minutes. Promising review: "I’ve tried every type of mosquito repellent from citronella plants to mosquito sticks you burn and many electronic devices, BUT after my neighbors told me about this product and how well it works, I gave it a try. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I CAN SIT ON MY PATIO AND NOT GET ONE SINGLE BITE. The mosquitoes fly close by, yet they leave me alone. Yes, the refills are expensive and you have to strategically coordinate the battery charge times so you have one charged at all times when you plan on being outside. AND, I spend A LOT of time on my patio (in Texas where the mosquitoes flourish). I bought two units and swap them out as needed. If you can afford them, I highly recommend!!" —Kathy C. Get it from Amazon for $28.81+ (available in five colors, a version with dimmable light, and longer battery-life models). Promising review: "I purchased these for every room in my house, they completely block out the light and heat. I live in Florida, so the AC is running 24/7, and after purchasing these, my electric bill went down about 25%. These are honestly such a smart investment if you’re looking to sleep in or cool your house down. I feel like an idiot for not buying them sooner." —Lucinda Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in various sizes and colors). Promising review: "I work from home a few days a week, and every once in a while, my work extends into the evening hours. I have a home office, but sitting at my desk all day is sometimes very tiring. I purchased this big memory foam desk pillow so that I can relax on my couch and still put my laptop up and have a comfortable working area. This pillow is big but very comfortable. It has armrests that wrap around your sides, and they also have little pockets for random things like your cell phone or the remote. It’s so nice to just lean back into my comfortable couch and have this big soft desk in front of me." —Jenn Butterfield  Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (available in two sizes and another style). British Book Art is a UK-based Etsy shop established in 2021 that specializes in tracker bookmarks and book art.  Promising review: "Absolutely love my bookmark! So, so cute!
