One charge is good for 60 hours of white light and up to 31 hours of red light.

Promising review: "Such a neat item! I purchased this for my husband's hunting trip and he's truly enjoyed the handiness of the light. He said it provided extra light in the dark wilderness. The light is compact, and easy to charge. It lasted multiple days from one charge. Also, the different light modes are fun and one can even have a party with the blinking effect!" —Elena

Get it from Amazon for $24.99.

Promising review: "Ordered the smaller size — it is small and yet sturdy, looks very elegant and is good quality and finish. Assembling was super easy. I am going to order one more. Loved it and highly recommend it." —Ashutosh Agte

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in seven sizes and styles).

Check out a TikTok of the KitchenAid shave ice attachment in action.

This attachment is compatible with all KitchenAid mixers. And don't forget to load up on all the delicious syrups, too!

Promising review: "The shaved ice attachment came together easily. The ice is the right consistency. I made my own syrup using handmade simple syrup and flavors from my soda stream machine. Mix until you get desired taste. I added a small amount of fresh lemon juice and a drop or two of food coloring. The coloring is optional. I will enjoy this all summer long!!" —Stack

Get it from Williams Sonoma for $99.95 or from Amazon for $79.99.

Check out the a TikTok of the slushie maker in action.

Promising review: "I was skeptical at first but tried it…. Made cherry Coke slushy WOW!!!!! It's a keeper. Great buy you won't be disappointed. They say use small ice 🧊 but I noticed it melts too fast and freezing was longer. Use regular ice cubes to make the freezing process 15–20 minutes." —Mo Lammy

Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in two versions).

You can purchase the hardware set to attach this canopy to your home for $16.99.

Promising review: "Have had it up for over a month and it is holding up very well to sun, wind, rain, and storms. I take it down when I get enough forewarning of strong storms, but sometimes we've been out of town and it has held up quite well. We roll it up and to the side using the installation kit anchors when we get warning for strong winds. But, like I've said, we've come home after storms to small branches down in the yard, but the sail was good. It does a great job of blocking the sun and cools the house and patio quite nicely from the summer sun." —Ms. Shannon

Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in 35 sizes and 11 colors).

And they're dishwasher safe!

Promising review: "I was tired of my wineglasses constantly breaking in the dishwasher and did not want to use plastic. I was so happy to find these in a cute design and with multiple color options. They are so fun to hold and are dishwasher friendly. I love that I don't have to remove the sleeve for the dishwasher. Exactly what I was looking for." —Kody

Get a set of four from Amazon for $18.90+ (available in six color combinations and a six-pack).

Promising review: "Cute shower curtain to mix up the bathroom. The print is very cute and goes well with the light pink tiles in my bathroom. The print is very accurate to the picture, colors are just as vibrant, and the picture is clear. It is as good of a shower curtain as any; not particularly nice but it's not see-through and it dries quickly when it gets wet." —Nicole Adler

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in three sizes).

Promising review: "Got these for my stepmother for her birthday. She loves them! They are cute and easy to hold onto. They look great on her table. Not too big at all. Just the right size for salt and pepper shakers. I also got a matching apron, hot pad mitten things, a spatula, a drain stopper, wine carrier...in other words we went all out with the flamingo theme, and her favorite thing by far were these salt and pepper shakers." —alisonl

Get them from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in 11 designs).

This set comes with 10 different colored pots. They also have drainage holes and a detachable hook.

Promising review: "These are such cute little flowerpots. The colors are bright and beautiful. The hooks are large enough to hang on up to a 2.5" wide railing but probably won't fit anything larger. They would add a bright pop of color to any drab space. They do have drain holes in the bottom." —Amy R.

Get 10 from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in three color options).

Get it from Clouse Crafts on Etsy for $53.

Promising review: "So I have this tiny balcony for a studio apartment and I wanted something cute to fill up the space. This set is the most affordable and there were so many choices of colors. When I went for a walk around my apartment complex, I noticed some of the neighbors have the exact same set. Since my balcony is so small and I rarely have visitors, I only set up one of the chairs. I plan to get a small succulent next to decorate it." —Bunny

Get it from Amazon for $109.99+ (available in eight colors and with or without a cushion).

The 16-piece set includes four round dinner plates, four salad plates, four bowls, and four mugs.

Promising review: "I love, love this dinnerware set. The packing it arrived in was SUPERB. Nothing was damaged at all. When I unboxed the sets I immediately was in awe of the pink and white variations in the design across the pieces. It's truly beautiful and feels high quality. So, if you love pink and white then these are the plate, bowl, and cup sets for you!" —Alisha Outridge

Promising review: "Liked these so much we ordered another set. We’ve had them in our pool 24/7 for almost a year and a half. They’ve lasted through storms, wind, etc. We have only had to add air to them one time and they haven't gotten dirty or moldy (which was a concern being white). I love that they are solar so no changing batteries or remotes needed. Great fun colors! Highly recommend." —THE HOMME LIFE

Get a set of two from Amazon for $37.99.

Promising review: "My husband asked for 'solar pool critters' for his birthday. One of his gifts was this flamingo and it's worked great all summer long in the Vegas sun. It's stayed fully inflated and hasn't faded a bit in the strong sun. It lights up every night and lasts well past our bedtime. It's fun to watch it float across the water on windy days. We'd definitely recommend this flamingo." —zoso babe

Get one from Subtle Art Studios on Etsy for $18+ (available in nine color variations).

It also comes with a small pillow and carrying bag, in case you want to take it to the park or your next camping trip!

Promising review: "The hammock arrived quickly and in good shape. I was a little worried that it would be too big for my 9' hammock stand, but I was able to adjust the hooks on the stand to make it fit perfectly. There were no loose threads or rips, or stains that I could see. I love the pattern on the fabric, and the matching pillow. My boyfriend and I are able to spread out with plenty of room for both of us, and we were quickly able to master one of us getting in and out without dumping the person on the ground. It's been too cold and rainy here so I can't speak yet as to the durability, but it seems sturdy and I am looking forward to taking lots of naps in it this summer." —Jodzilla

Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (available in 10 other designs).

Check out a TikTok of the duvet set in action.

Promising review: "This duvet cover is SO cute. It is exactly what I was hoping it would be. The colors are very vibrant and the pattern is adorable. The back side of the cover and the two pillowcases are also a super cute color and pattern. The zipper closure, which I prefer over buttons, is nice and of good quality. I would definitely recommend purchasing." —Melissa P.

Get it from Amazon for $49.09+ (available in twin and queen sizes and 19 other patterns).

This set comes with a fitted sheet, top sheet, and two pillow cases.

I received these sheets a few months ago and didn't really have high expectations because they're sheets…like how different can they be? Well, I put them on the bed and was immediately impressed. I know they say they are "cool to the touch," but I've never really understood what that meant / how that was possible, but apparently it is. When I first got in bed with these sheets they legit feel cool, like don't ask me the science behind it, it's just true. If you are someone who overheats at night or just has a really hot room, especially in the summer, you need these sheets. Like seriously, I highly recommend these. And this is coming from someone who a few months ago didn't understand how any sheets could really be that much better than any other set.

Promising review: "In love with this daisy paper!! My project turned out beautifully!! Good quality and amazing adhesion!" —Tony

Get a 16.5-foot roll from Amazon for $24.99.

Check out a TikTok of the utensil set in action.

Promising review: "Really cute set and the quality is good too, so a win-win for me! It is dishwasher safe. I tried one of the pieces washed in the dishwasher and it came out just fine. For longevity I plan to just hand-wash because I love things in pink! They're heat resistant — I used the spatula to cook bacon and pressed on the pan and nothing bad happened to it. I've had this set for a month now and been using it every day; it still looks as good as new. No burns/melted marks; no discoloration. I have washed it in the dishwasher multiple times and they come out fine. Easy to clean." —Pookie Bear

Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in six colors).

Check out a TikTok of the flower magnets in action.

Promising review: "Just recently purchased a new fridge and wanted to keep it cool and stylish. These little magnets are adorable, they’re colorful, and they brighten my day. I love them and I would definitely gift them to a friend!" —Lisa Reviews

Get a set of 10 from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in three styles).

Promising reviews: "I love these and my cats do too! When I gently spin one hung in front of a window (with the right lighting) my cats chase the rainbows around the room." —Nancy O.

"This is one of those small things that just sparks joy whenever there's a sunny day. They are surprisingly heavy and sturdy. They're also packaged beautifully making them extremely giftable. I kept one and gave one to my mom who put it in her car. We're both very satisfied with the purchase and she must have mentioned how expensive they feel half a dozen times. One of those rare instances that a product that seems like a steal actually exceeds expectations." —Marissa C.

Get the two-pack from Amazon for $7.97.

This set comes with a collapsible funnel, cleaning brush, recipe book, 10 reusable ice pop sticks, 50 disposable ice pop sticks, and 50 disposable baggies.

Promising review: "Love love love these ice pop molds! I make my boys watermelon ice pops every summer for them and our neighborhood kiddos. I decided this summer to try a different mold and settled on this one. Great quality and made extremely well! I’m ordering a second mold!" —Christi

Get it from Amazon for $25.

Promising review: "Gorgeous artificial flowers!! Perfect for those of us who are allergy-riddled floral enthusiasts. I use them for seasonal and holiday decorating, as well as homemade gifts for my family and friends. I love the careful attention to detail, particularly how random leaves appear to have 'dirt' as if freshly picked right from the garden. Really appreciate a quality allergy-free floral option." —Jen M

Get a set of 20 from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 48 colors and a 28-pack).

Promising review: "Absolutely love the dim feature! These bulbs are more round than oval like others, but I love them. When they are off, there's a cool yellow in them that offers a lovely aesthetic when not in use. Our pergola is wired for lights so we mounted them on and almost always dim them because the white pergola reflects the light. These lights have made our patio my new favorite spot in the house. My husband and I find the evenings so relaxing, we’ve literally grown closer together from spending time out under the lights in our new favorite place." —fishurmo

Get them from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in 27, 48, and 97 feet and three colors).

Get it from Norwood Lavender Farm on Etsy for $15.95.

Promising review: "Love this pitcher! Bought it in June 2013 and I still use it on a weekly basis. The filter slots are perfect for keeping the lemon seeds from floating out and since the lid also has slots, I love to throw extra cucumber in the pitcher to float freely and don't have to worry about it pouring into my glass 👌🏽Holding up great, no tiny cracks in the pitcher that tend to happen over time. Still looks exactly the same from the first day I got it." —Sovay

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in 13 styles).

Promising review: "This is a terrific little tool, and it works perfectly. I place it over a short drinking glass and crack an egg right into it. The white of the egg tends to hang down in one long 'stalactite,' but with a couple of shakes it plops neatly into the glass." —D. Rachlin

Get it from Amazon for $12.90.

Promising review: "I received this table about a week ago and I have used it every night since. It is absolutely great! I have used it for family gatherings and for nights where I just want to sit in my backyard and relax. The convenience of being able to store my drinks closely while still keeping them cold is perfect! The storage part has a lot of depth, allowing room to store a great amount of drinks or even snacks. You are able to close the top and keep the drinks hidden or leave it open so that you and your guests are able to just grab a drink and go. The table is the perfect size for my backyard patio. It is sturdy and feels of great quality while still being lightweight. Very durable! Family and friends have complimented the table and love it!" —Miranda

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
