Whether you have a big yard or a small deck, string lights can add a little charm and sparkle to your space. This 48-foot string is heavy-duty, dimmable and powered by a remote. Plus you can connect multiple sets to span even the most expansive outdoor spaces. Perfect for weddings, dinner parties or any time you want to give a little ambient warmth to your outdoor hangouts. 

One of over 20,000 five-star fans raved about the quality of the light. “The brightness of the lights is perfect, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere without being too harsh.”

You’ll never feel powerless by a dead phone battery again, thanks to this ultimate charging station that comes with two wireless charging pads, two wall chargers, two USB-C charging cables and a USB-A to USB-C adaptor. 

“Exactly what I needed,” reported this technophile. “My new Samsung phone required a different kind of charger so I bought this set. One for the house, one for the car. They work great!”

Though making your own lattes and cappuccinos at home is the more affordable way to go, it can be hard to recreate that just-right level of froth and foam using your microwave or stovetop. Luckily, there’s a handy tool that can help you create perfect milk foam — and it’s only $3.

“Fantastically frothy” raved this fan. “The froth it produced was consistent across all the milk types. It also helped blend my green tea and milk boba tea. It was easy to use, easy to clean and it frothed in a flash. Best yet, it was a great value as it saves time and is so much easier to clean than the attachment on my espresso machine. One tip: The double whisk really does make a difference!”

For some, keeping cool isn’t just a luxury, it’s a necessity – especially if you’ve got heat-sensitive health issues. This fan can give you greater control over your comfort. Amazon customers say this neck fan lets them get out and about comfortably in the heat. So does one of our shopping writers, who said this fan kept her cool during a Disney World heat wave. Read her entire review here.

“I get hot flashes and this fan tames it down immediately,” a relieved shopper shared. “Nice and cool. Makes my whole body feel cooler. Great for summer outdoor activities as well. I literally use mine in bed to help the intensity of my hot flashes.”

SENDESTAR

This handy companion holds 32 oz, boasts three types of lids, is made of durable stainless steel and has leak-proof technology (so no more cleaning the car console!). It’s also available in multiple colors, so you can get a few extras so you always have a freshly washed option.

“I purchased this in 2019!” exclaimed one of over 13,500 five-star fans. “Absolutely wild. It’s held up perfectly over the years. I still use the sling holder and although some of the stitching has started to pull, it’s still solid (and after 5 years of use!). It keeps my water ice cold and is a great value for the size compared to other brands. The lid doesn’t leak (just make sure you secure it tightly) and the opening at the top is wide enough to easily fit a bottle brush inside.”

This bento box that’s great for kids and adults has four compartments — two large and two small — and includes a plastic fork and spoon. It’s BPA-free, leak-proof and dishwasher-safe. And you can get it in eight cheery colors.

“I have four kids so these being dishwasher safe is a lifesaver,” revealed this five-star parent. “I have used bento boxes for years but these are so much better and they have bigger compartments, and they are half the price!”

Eufy

This vac punches well above its weight, thanks to super-strong 2000Pa of suction power to lift up dirt, grime and debris that’s lurking on your floors. The vac comes with magnetic boundary strips, so you can easily wall off certain areas, like your dog’s bed. And, when your G30 Verge wraps things up, you can actually check on your app where and when it cleaned.

“Straight lines!” gushed this user. “No more robot without a plan. This vacuum vacuums like you would. Back and forth in straight lines. So awesome.”

Kitchen cleaning often gets pushed to the bottom of the to-do list when laundry and other chores seem more immediate. However, food splatter, crumbs and overall ick do accumulate in no time, which can make you even less inclined to want to deal with it. But these brushes here to do the dirty work. And what’s better, at only $3 a pack, each brush is only 75 cents.

And it’s not just for kitchens. “Very handy and versatile brushes,” revealed this reviewer. “Nice for cleaning the track for the sliding door in showers as well as around bathroom faucets. Also useful for cleaning window tracks.”

EHAMILY

Store your shoes in a snap thanks to this six-tier wonder that fits up to 24 pairs for men, women and children, and with large bottom storage for those tall boots. Also great for anywhere that needs organizing, like the basement or garage. Available in three or nine tiers as well.

Said this really big shoe lover: “Easy to put together, looks great in my space and makes the area so much neater! I am a shoe addict and this helps to keep them from getting dusty in my closet, without the bulkiness of stacked shoe boxes everywhere. Going to buy a second one to use for my husband’s ball cap collection!”

Astercook

While you could cook with an average chef’s knife, you can make meal prep and chopping a whole lot easier with a well-balanced, sharp kitchen knife that ensures these everyday tasks feel like less of a chore and more of a joy. Even (actually, especially) if you’re a beginner home cook, you’ll benefit from this Astercook 8-inch Chef Knife — as you’re probably still working on your slicing-and-dicing technique.

“Changed my cooking experience,” reported this home chef. “I was looking at so many different knife sets but I didn’t really feel like I would use a whole set. Then I found this and I love it. I literally chop everything with it and it makes cooking a breeze.”
