1. Beckham Hotel Collection Pillows

Beckham Hotel Collection

Falling asleep on this set of fluffy pillows is the kind of self-care everyone deserves. Featuring a machine-washable cotton cover and plush down-alternative fill, these pillows are designed to retain their shape, while providing prime comfort. Take it from former PureWow Editor Olivia Dubyak, who says: “I love the support of these pillows because they're plush without feeling too hard like some memory foam ones (which I'm not particularly a fan of). The filling keeps my head and neck super cool throughout the night—and they come in a pair, which is a great deal.”

PureWow editors are obsessed with this compact and portable steamer, which we tested and found to be gentle, yet extremely effective at getting wrinkles out of even our most delicate clothing. The device heats up in as little as 30 seconds, while its foldable and leakproof design allows you to steam vertically and horizontally without dripping water on your garments. And if you end up loving it so much you can't stand being without it? It folds up effortlessly to fit in your luggage or weekender bag.

Stop fishing for pickles with your fingers, folks. Here’s a stainless steel pickle fork that we tested to demonstrate just how easily it can grab a pickle with no mess necessary—and yes, you can use it on olives, too. Not to mention, it will save you from smelling like pickles all day long. The handy utensil is dishwasher safe, and has its own caddy that attaches to the rims of most jars, making it all the more convenient.

“I've been seriously considering getting my own nut milk maker, considering the price of my go-to almond milk lately,” says Stephanie Maida, PureWow’s senior commerce editor. “My bestie recently bought one and cannot stop raving about it, so I'm eyeing this pick that Amazon shoppers have been flocking to.” The popular machine is equipped with touch control, allowing you to blend your nuts into a 32-ounce batch of smooth, creamy plant-based milk in minutes.

OK neat freaks, this one goes out to you. This electric spin scrubber offers a cordless, adjustable design that can tackle various surfaces, from bathrooms and bathtubs to countertops, stoves, sinks, glass and tiles. With three speed options (420r/min, 360r/min and 260r/min), it provides powerful scrubbing with a long-lasting, rechargeable battery that allows for roughly 90 minutes of continuous cleaning. Plus, the all-in-one design includes eight replaceable brush heads for different tasks, while its waterproof design ensures safe use anywhere in the home.

“I bought this little table last month and loved it from the jump,” says PureWow Wellness Director Sarah Stiefvater. “I'm using it as a side table next to my couch right now, but I also plan on bringing it outside to my patio once the weather warms up.” It’s made from water- and scratch-resistant, power-coated steel that’ll hold up well against the elements, and the tray design at the top is intended to prevent accidental spills from ruining your flooring. A few more details Stiefvater loves: “It was so easy to put together, it's super sturdy and I love the cream color (though it's available in four other hues).”

7. LED Wall Mounted Lights

Lightbiz Store

Looking to spruce up your place? These rechargeable LED lights will do just the trick. The magnetic wall lights come with a remote control that can change the color temperature and brightness, so you switch the “moods” in your home in an instant. The lights can last up 24 hours, depending on the brightness, and recharge in 4 hours. They come highly recommended by PureWow’s Fashion Editor, Abby Hepworth. “[They] make me unreasonably happy,” she tells me. “I needed something for my hall closet and this is the ideal size, plus the light part can pop right off to be used as a flashlight for any hard-to-reach spots in those back corners. And I like that it is rechargeable rather than needing to keep tons of AAA batteries on hand.”

8. Kindle Page Turner

Sk SYUKUYU

Kindle readers, listen up: This remote-controlled page turner will have you flipping through the pages of your novel without the constant need to tap your screen. “I swear by my Kindle page turner—it's a *total* game-changer for comfortably reading while I'm cozied up under a blanket (and you can easily use it for other tablets and even your phone, too),” gushes Natalie LaBarbera, assistant commerce editor at PureWow. My only qualm with it is that there’s no button to go backwards.

9. Candle Warmer Lamp

GODONLIF Store

Now, you can treat your collection of candles with the utmost love and care, thanks to this gorgeous (and adjustable!) candle warmer lamp. Included with purchase is a warming bulb that gently melts your candle from the top down without you needing to actually light it. Yes, that means there’s no smoke and no open flame, which is one of the may reasons why PureWow Audience Development Strategist Nicole Frazzini loves it. She says, “I feel like it’s perfect for candle lovers who want to avoid an open flame (especially apartment dwellers), and I’ve also seen a few hacks for using these to melt chocolate and other snacks, so they can potentially be multipurpose.”

This isn’t your average salad bowl. The 64-ounce stainless steel dish boasts a leakproof lid, removable tray and 20-ounce mini canister that you can use for your dressings or toppings. Best of all, it’s BPA- and BPS-free, dishwasher friendly and safe to toss into both the fridge and freezer. According to PureWow’s Editor-in-Chief, Jillian Quint, it’s a beloved essential in any kitchen.

Tired of dirtying your kitchen countertops while cooking? Executive Managing Editor Catrina Yohay has the ideal (and cutest) solution—meet Red the Crab. “I love this little guy! It's a spoon holder and steam releaser in one and despite its semi-gimmicky appearance, I've used it a surprising amount of times in the kitchen.” Made with 100 percent food-grade silicone and free of BPAs, it’s here to lend you a helping claw in the kitchen.

Another random-but-useful item Yohay swears by are these waterproof headphones. “Bone conduction headphones are becoming more and more popular,” she says. “As a runner, I love them because I can zone out and listen to music or podcasts while still being aware of my surroundings (safety first!). This version goes the extra mile by being waterproof with a built-in MP3 making it perfect for swimmers or people training for a triathlon or Ironman, allowing them to go from the water to the bike to the street more seamlessly.” With an average battery life of 8.5 hours and 8GB of memory that can store up to 2,000 songs, these headphones were designed to go the distance.

Eliminate the need for matches and traditional lighters with this electric candle lighter. Use it to instantly ignite candles and stoves without the use of a flame. “I'm fully obsessed with this,” raves Candace Davison, vice president of editorial content at PureWow “[It requires] no fluid refills, no struggling with a lighter or rummaging for matches. It's simple, efficient and 20 percent off.”

“This ergonomic box cutter makes opening packages so much easier (and safer!),” mentions Yohay. “The blade is auto-retractable with the push of a button, and I love having a dedicated tool for snail mail rather than running around in search of scissors that never end up being sharp enough anyway.” As Yohay mentioned, it’s designed with a finger-friendly blade for fewer accidents, yet is still sharp enough to cut through a double-walled box or a variety of other materials, like tape, vinyl and cardstock, to name a few.

This smart refrigerator device claims to remove bad odors and—get this—make your food stay fresh and last longer. How, you ask? Well, it has a photocatalytic filter that eliminates the pollutants causing your food to spoil. “I’m the type of person who buys heaps of groceries, including lots of fresh produce, so this is music to my ears,” says PureWow Associate Fashion Commerce Editor, Stephanie Meraz. “Another cool detail I love is that it tells you how often you open the door and how to best preserve your food when you download the app.”

Speaking of refrigerators, this Smeg model is a retro-lover’s dream appliance...but don’t just take my word for it. SEO Editor Marissa Wu says, “This is a key piece of my dream kitchen as I continue my quest to live like I’m Audrey Hepburn and it’s 1953 in LA.” Looks aside, it has plenty of space inside for a small household, plus three glass shelves that are fully adjustable and a bottle storage shelf. There’s even a freezer compartment and ice cube tray, so you don’t have to buy that separate.

Whether you’re a packing pro or always struggle to get your suitcase to close, these packing cubes can help. Each set comes with eight cubes in various sizes: three large, three medium and two small—plus, a mini toiletry bag, laundry bag *and* a shoe bag to keep all your stuff perfectly organized. Even better, the breathable mesh tops let you see what's inside without having to open them, and they’re made from lightweight, durable nylon fabric with sturdy zippers that ensure everything stays in place while you’re on the move.

Keep your pantry items as fresh as possible with this set of 24 snap-close, leakproof containers in four sizes: small, medium, large and tall. The BPA-free, food-grade plastic containers make it easy to find the goods you're looking for, and even come with reusable stick-on labels you can write on with the included marker (which are dishwasher-safe). If you ask me, this sleek matching set is much more aesthetically pleasing than mismatched Tupperware.

This school lunch box is an editor- (and parent) favorite for a number of reasons. Not only is the four-compartment tray perfect for picky eaters who hate when food touches, but it’s also designed to keep lunches cool without the need for extra ice packs. What’s more, it’s built with a durable food-safe shell with rubberized edges—so it won’t crack if they drop it—and it has patented, leakproof technology with a kid-friendly latch.

This editor-approved carpet cleaner is TikTok-famous for a reason: It can restore filthy sofas, crumb-filled carpets and coffee-stained car seats with a wave of its included brush head. Thanks to its compact and lightweight design, you can easily maneuver it from room to room—despite the fact that the tank can hold up to 48 ounces of cleaner at a time. It also comes with a self-cleaning hose and a stain remover spray.

Calling all germophobes and hypochondriacs alike: This thermometer uses non-contact technology with an infrared sensor that can read temperatures 1.18 inches away from the forehead's center. Its accuracy is ensured through a tri-point sensory system, which collects over 100 data points per second (and accounts for environmental variables). It’s easy to use with a single-button design, and it provides fast, clear temperature readings in just one second on a large LED display.

Take your charcuterie game to the next level with this large and dynamic serving platter (or gift it to a friend who loves entertaining). The board includes a hidden drawer with cheese knives and accessories, including a wine opener, food labels and markers, so it has everything you need for presenting and enjoying your meat, cheese and crackers. It even comes with a chic carrying bag for easy storage and transport, making it ideal for picnics and barbecues.

With a compact design that fits under sofas, beds and tables, it’s easy to stay fit in your bedroom or home office with this under-desk treadmill. It’s designed with a durable alloy steel frame—and it supports up to 330 pounds with a wide, non-slip running belt and eight silicone shocks for a safe and quiet run (or walk between Zoom calls). The LED display and smart remote make it easy to track your speed, distance, time and calories, and it even has two rubber pads, in case you need to up your comfort level. 

This lightweight set of two containers features five compartments, each holding ¼ cup of solid food (see it in action here). It’s made from durable, BPA and PVC-free polypropylene, so it's top-rack dishwasher-safe, and the transparent, airtight and leakproof lid keeps messes at bay, making it ideal for on-the-go snacking. It also has an interactive button that keeps kids engaged while helping with motor skills as they pick their snacks. And with a 6.5-inch diameter, it's perfect for toddler-sized portions. Snack, spin, repeat; snacking has never been this easy and fun.

For anyone who loves taking pictures and documenting memories the old school way, this mini portable printer is a must-have. The compact device connects to Bluetooth, giving you the ability to print flawless pictures straight from your phone through the app, which are laminated to last a lifetime. Even better? It includes 68 two-by-three printer sheets to get you started. 

With a spiffy design and an ultra-fast processor that's meant to keep a strong Wi-Fi connection in any room in your house, this tablet immediately lets you browse the internet and stream your favorite shows in vibrant HD picture. It has up to 64 gigabytes of storage capacity, and you can choose between three different color options (black, lilac and ocean blue). Additionally, the tablet comes with a 5 MP front-facing camera that can be used for phone calls and meetings, plus plenty of fun reading, writing and learning apps for the kids.

This unique magnetic stacking toy offers a novel twist on traditional building blocks. With geometric shapes in varying sizes and colors, it challenges kids to stack tiles while encouraging a fresh approach to building. According to the brand, this not only enhances visual discrimination, brain creativity and hands-on execution, but it also fosters creativity, resilience and patience in each session. The tiles are crafted from ABS toxin-free material, so they’re safe, nontoxic and pet-approved. FYI: This set comes with 48 pieces to keep your kiddo busy for hours.

This top-rated water flosser is here to save you a trip to the dentist. It has seven 360-degree rotating tips for multiple family members, as well as ten massage settings for all of your oral hygiene needs. And what's so great, beside the 90-second run time, is that the 22-ounce reservoir is detachable for easy cleaning and refilling. And with a 4.7- by 3.8-inch footprint, it will even fit on a crowded bathroom countertop.

Why does this wireless audio transmitter have more than 2,000 five-star reviews? Because it allows you to transmit audio from various devices using just an audio jack that connects to AirPods, earbuds or wireless headphones. Just take it from this shopper, who raves: “Flew on a 9.5-hour flight to Honolulu and didn't have to charge it at all while on the plane. I connected my Bose earbuds to it at home before leaving and the process took 30 seconds with no issues. Plugged this right into the Delta entertainment screen and it recognized my earbuds. I found there was no delay with the talking on screen and the sounds were immaculate.”

With spring on the horizon, you may want to consider adding a bird feeder to your backyard setup, especially if birdwatching is a personal hobby. And if it's not, it soon will be, thanks to this wireless bird feeder that comes with a built-in camera, so you can see all the feathered friends who stop by for a snack. It also features A.I. bird recognition to identify different types, as well as HD day and night vision for crisp video. Better yet, the birdseed container clocks in at 16-ounces to hold plenty of food between refills.

Another kitchen must-have you should definitely snag while it’s on sale? This meat thermometer. It has an ultra-large, 2-inch rotating display, intelligent stabilization alerts and high-quality, impact-resistant materials that can withstand up to 482-degrees Fahrenheit. It's ensured by the manufacturer to last over 4,000 hours of continuous use on a single battery, and it offers a 2 to 3 second reading time with ±0.9 degree Fahrenheit accuracy. Bonus: It’s splash-resistant and features a motion-sense backlight that’ll turn on in the oven (just be sure to use heat-proof gloves).

This sleek, digital scale boasts ultra-accurate sensors and a larger weighing area, making it ideal for baking, cooking, keto and meal prep. The companion app also allows you to set personalized nutrition goals with logs for your meals and sync your data with Fitbit and Apple Health. Plus, with customizable units and auto-off settings, the scale is as versatile as it is precise, measuring in 1-gram increments up to 11 pounds.

This tiny-but-mighty reading light offers five adjustable brightness levels and three color modes—including amber, filter blue light, breeze and precise—for detailed work. Its five LED beads ensure even light distribution without flickering or harshness, and it’s USB rechargeable with a built-in battery that provides 10-80 hours of reading time (depending on your brightness setting). It’s also incredibly flexible and portable, weighing just 1.4-ounces and featuring a 150-degree clamp with a light head that’s adjustable in multiple directions.

This 20-pack of vacuum-sealed storage bags—which includes four jumbo, four large, four medium, four small and four travel roll-up bags—are ideal for putting away seasonal jackets, travel essentials, bedding, toys (you name it). According to Davison, they’re “a must if you're traveling with kids, because inevitably—either from souvenir-shopping or grandparents' generosity—you wind up with 3X to go home with than you originally packed.” The set includes a handy pump for easy use, but they also compress using any standard vacuum cleaner. All you have to do is pack your items, seal the zipper, suck out the air and close the lid. Not to mention the non-woven fabric promotes ventilation to protect from mold or water damage.

35. Telena Belt Bag

Telena

Lightweight and versatile, this fanny pack is ideal for traveling, running, hiking—or just running to Trader Joes. It comes with a large adjustable strap (extending to 43 inches long), which allows you to wear it as a waist bag, backpack or crossbody bag. It also boasts three mesh compartments inside, with a zippered pocket on the back for your phone, and the 8-inch capacity means there’s enough space to stow your sunglasses and wallet. The hardest part is choosing which of the dozens of colors and patterns best suits you (Sherpa? Leopard? Brat green?!)

You may have seen this stain treater spray go viral on TikTok (and now is *definitely* the time to see if it lives up to the hype while it’s on sale). ICYMI, this non-toxic stain remover is praised for its ability to quickly and effectively eliminate all sorts of stains—from food and mud to even blood, making it an essential for parents. Oh, and it’s free from peroxide, chlorine bleach and phosphates, and is 100 percent biodegradable with a neutral pH, so it's safe to use around little ones and furry friends. Just spray, blot, and launder to see stubborn stains vanish—even the deep-set ones like berry juice, baby food, formula, ketchup and spaghetti sauce.
