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.

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).”

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.”

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.

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.

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!

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.

“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.
