There’s a product in this post that’ll turn your candelabras into a vase this summer, and it’s making me wanna buy a candelabra. I have been a BuzzFeed Shopping writer since 2017, with a focus on unique, practical products, up-to-date parenting finds, and up-and-coming home decor. Promising review: "These are a game changer! I have some heavy appliances like my espresso machine and reverse osmosis filter that I hate to pull out to fill with water. These tiny sliders have been incredible! Immediately better, and so far (about three months in), no issues at all. Still gliding!" —sara Get a set of 24 from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in two colors and various sizes and quantities). Each pack includes adjusters in case your candle holders run large. Promising review: "These are multi-functional, timeless, and well-made. I’ve been using both of these personally and for my company, and I can’t recommend them enough. These vases are a key part of how we display florals in our tablescapes. I love that you can put them into any candle holder and it changes the whole vibe! We use them for both faux and real florals. It’s the perfect combination of functionality and style, and I can always count on them to elevate our designs. Highly recommend! I personally have 12, and I’d love to see these come out in larger sets!" —Sasha Pintos Get a box of three from Amazon for $30+ (available in two colors). As you can see above, I have big frames, and they're a curious shape, so finding sunglasses that fit over them was a big win! The sunglasses have a slightly elongated lip on the upper half, helping them snuggly balance over any shape of glasses. I wore these to Disneyland, and I was able to wear them over my frames while on rides, and they stayed on! I can't recommend these enough. My husband (who wears thick square glasses) has stolen these from me, which is the biggest 5-star review I can imagine. The man is picky. Promising review: "These are great! They cover my glasses well, and you can’t see my glasses through the lenses. The polarized lenses make colors pop while reducing the sun's brightness." —Leigh Manuel Get them from Amazon for $24.99 (available in 21 styles). Check out a TikTok of the Door-Doc in action. Door-Doc is a small business specializing in home laundry solutions. Promising review: "I’d never had any issues with mold or any nastiness accruing inside my washer, until I did. I read a bunch of reviews and convinced myself I didn’t need such an item — after all, I could just prop the door open after every wash. The thing is, the way the washer is positioned in the laundry room, I’d hit the washer door every time I went in there. I gave in and made the purchase. Sooooo worth it! Easy to maneuver around and it’s a sturdy little gadget. Highly recommend!!!" —painter Jane Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two colors). Promising review: "I bought one for beside the grill, one for beside the stove, one for the laundry room, and one for the car. I think the intuitive, easy to use design is fantastic. We already have the muscle memory for using a spray can. In an emergency, it's so much easier to grab this and use it, and turn a small fire into a non-fire. I don't have time to remember a three step method of fire control when my bacon has gotten out of control on the stove. I'm not a firefighter! I'd really like to have one in every room. Think about it. Isn't it better to immediately contain a small fire than deal with a big one? This could save your life, and your house." —K. Zander Promising review: "This refreshes my worn-out manicure very well. I apply this as a topcoat over my old manicure. It respreads and smooths out the polish and leaves it fresh and shiny. It's a bit pricey, but it does save me a lot of time and trouble not having to repolish my nails." —SoniaSophia Promising review: "These have been a GAME-CHANGER in this house!! My son has always begged me for Uncrustables, but my wallet didn’t agree with them. I LOVE being able to make them at home and customize them to exactly what they would like them filled with! I make two weeks' worth of sandwiches at a time and store them in sandwich bags in the freezer, so in the morning during the school year, we can just grab and go! Love them!" —Katherine Smaczniak Promising reviews: "I love this knife. You couldn't design a better knife for peanut butter if you tried. I bought a less expensive one but returned it because the design was poor. There's no substitution for this quality product. Spend a couple dollars more, and get the best." —Beck "You can use it for many things. It is strong and can get things out of deep blenders, like a Vitamix. You could even use it to spread icing on a cake! Best of all, it is perfect for stirring those large nut butter containers you get from the warehouse stores." —Neaner Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in two colors and multipacks). Promising review: "I love this! We didn’t have a good place to make a hole in the wall to our backyard but we do have low windows next to our fireplace, so it was a match to get this window door. It was super easy to install and we love the locking feature. We got a snow storm and it took a while for our garden beds to stop being muddy. We locked the door so kitty wouldn’t bring in mud. I will say it is a bit drafty, so we got an extra weather strip to secure the draftiness. Our kitty only took a couple of days to get used to it too. We put his food just outside the window and he had to get used to going out there to get his food. All in all it was a great buy!" —AlyHowell Get it from Amazon for $134.53+ (available in a handful of shapes/sizes). Promising review: "I bought these shoes to wear on vacation to the Grand Canyon. I did a lot of walking on that trip, and my feet never hurt, and I still looked cute. Then a few months later, we went to Durango, Colorado, and did a ton of walking, and again, my feet never hurt. I washed them and let them air dry several times over the next year, and they came out great every time. They soon became my daily shoes to wear around the house. I have already bought a second pair to replace them, so I can still look cute and be comfortable, and wear the first pair when I water the garden. I would definitely recommend these shoes!" —J. Perkins Get them from Amazon for $33+ (available in sizes 5–13, including wide sizes, and in five styles — not all styles available in all sizes). 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 grab some syrups while you're at it! Promising review: "Don’t bother wasting your money on other kitschy snow cone makers. If you have a KitchenAid, get this. It’s fabulous! My daughter uses this almost daily!! It’s a great little gadget if you love snow cones." —Jennifer The set comes with 12 locks (with strong 3M double-sided tape on the back) and two keys. Promising review: "These are awesome! I spent hours with a drill and screwdriver installing push down locks on cupboards five years ago. I now have another crawling baby, and those ones are all broken. I was dreading installing new ones and saw these. They literally go on in seconds, the bracket means it lines up perfectly, and the adhesive is strong! My older kids think the magnet key is super fun. Baby stays out of the chemicals, and I put one on the trash door, so the dog stays out of the trash so everyone gets to live longer. Win-win. I also love that you can 'turn' them off and on, so when my kids are bigger, we can flip the switch, but if little kids were visiting, we could put them back on." —Joseph J. Krakker Get a set of 12 from Amazon for $29.99 (available in multiple pack styles). This is the best solution for folks with long hair who hate claw clips because of how bulky they are in the back. Flat clips are trying, but they can't handle much hair. Turns out we were all just supposed to go back to the O.G. because I bought this hairpin (I have a ton of hair, but it's fine, and it goes halfway down my back — a nightmare with clips) and it has solved *all* my old claw clip problems. It goes with every outfit, can hold ALL my hair, and I can even lie totally flat with it in (and lean my head back while driving). I love this thing, and I'm preaching the word. Promising review: "This Kitsch French hairpin is both beautiful and functional. The gold finish is sleek and adds a touch of elegance, whether I'm dressing up or going casual. It holds my thick hair in place all day without slipping and is much more comfortable than hair ties. Great for buns, twists, or quick updos. Super easy to use once you get the hang of it. Definitely a staple in my hair routine now!" —J. Lee Hall Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors). Promising review: "What a perfect gadget for getting your phone clean. After touching who knows what while commuting to work, and it being that time of year when everyone around you gets sick, this comes in handy. After the first use, it looked great, and then I wiped it down with the sponge that came with it. I feel so much better about using my phone now." —Daily Ritual Boutique Get it from Amazon for $69.95+ (available in 10 styles). Check out a TikTok of the egg storage roller in action. YouCopia is a woman-owned small business that specializes in home storage solutions. Promising review: "Here it is! The best egg container on Amazon! How can I say that? Easy! Engineering! The slight tilt angle on the bottom of the container that the egg drawer sits on forces eggs to lightly roll forward, keeping all your eggs in the front, and never in the back, where you don't need them. It's super easy to use, so easy to clean, comes apart and can hold a full can organizer on top without issue, so no issues with sturdiness. It can easily hold 14 large size eggs. Easily one of my favorite purchases." —Karingan Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two styles). Promising review: "This is the best gift ever. High impact, easy to set up, so exciting for kids, but folds up SO SMALL. It’s maybe the size of a folded sweatshirt when it’s packed up? Honestly it's a parent's dream to have a fun activity that doesn’t require a ton of storage. I will keep this on my list of gift ideas for the future for other kids in my life!" —Lindsay W. Get it from Amazon for $49.95+ (available in 16 styles). Promising review: "My partner and I recently got a 4-month-old Italian greyhound puppy, and this has been great. We slept with the stuffed animal a few nights before picking up our puppy and placing it in his crate before he arrived. After playing with us and exploring his new home, he walked into his crate and curled up against it, and went right to sleep. He slept right through the first night with no issue. Today is week two, and the batteries are still going strong. I plan on buying one for my sister, who will be getting a puppy in the next few months. This is cute and functional." —Jeb Get it from Amazon for $39.95 (available in 12 colors). Check out a TikTok of the food cubby in action. Food Cubby is a small business specializing in family-friendly kitchen accessories. Promising review: "I love these! Even as an adult, I hate my food touching. Thought they might keep things apart but not juices or things, but they really stick to the plate, and the meat juice doesn't run into the salad. It saves me from having different plates for each food. I wish I had these a long time ago." —Superbeckee Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two colors). Here's what BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord (who convinced *me* to start eating Built Bars) has to say about them: "Hello, I'm a walking cliché of Woman In Her Mid-30s Who Is Very Obsessed With Protein, since it took me three decades to realize I'm in a much better mood all day if I cram it in at every opportunity. I'm very, VERY picky about the protein bars I'll eat — Barebells and Nick's are my go-tos — and these Built bars knocked it out of the park! They have a truly marshmallow-like consistency and the most ridiculously satisfying texture and chewiness. The flavors I've tried have all been spot-on, and they don't leave any kind of aftertaste. I am perpetually out and about and in need of a snack, so I have one of these in my purse at all times!" Get a pack of 12 from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in several flavors). Promising review: "My husband and sons (ages four and two) love it! Dad gets a back massage, and the kids get to play. Even if Daddy is not wearing it, they lay the shirt on the carpet and play with it. We have a big kiddie carpet with roads and tracks, but it seems the kids like the shirt more! It came with a small green car and a certificate." —Zing Get it from Amazon for $14.95+ (available in sizes S–5XL and four colors). Check out a TikTok of the Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar in action. The AAD recommends using at least SPF 30 and reapplying as needed for skin protection. You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information! Promising review: "NO WHITE CAST! I've been looking for a stick sunscreen, and this was just exactly what was needed!! I'm a medium-toned black woman, and looking for something without a white cast is always a challenge. I have applied it on my bare skin, and there isn't a white cast at all! It's a 'soft matte' finish, for sure, and looks like natural skin; like you're not wearing anything at all." —Martina Get it from Amazon for $16.37+ (available in two formulas). I have never seen my husband gush over a product for our daughter more than he has with this wagon. And I'm just as big of a fan! There are *so* many useful accessories you can get to customize your ride specifically to your family's needs. We have a canopy, a cushioned toddler seat, extra storage nets, a cooler, and more. There are different attachments for season changes and a range of ages — so this truly grows with your child. It is easy to get through doors, swivel around pedestrians, and roam around uneven surfaces at the park. I can't think of a more useful product for parents in a city, or families who are often out and about. And most important: my daughter *adores* it. She laughs, cheers, and giggles the whole ride (plus the cup tray attachment means she can snack on her own while we're on the move). This wagon is the sort of thing that makes me glad I'm a parent in 2024. Parenting products have come a *long* way! Get it from Amazon for $699+ (available in two sizes). Promising review: "This was a lifesaver!!! My 4-year-old was getting up at 5:30 :( and we could not convince him to go back to bed. We found this clock and we're amazed at the results. My son loves it! He gets so excited when it turns green and he can get out of bed, or when he wakes up and it is green. It seems to have helped train him to sleep in longer. It is easy to set up. Our only complaint is the light from the indicator (red, yellow, green) is soooo bright. We tip the clock on its face so his room does not light up. He can still see the color, so it's fine. But I do wish we could dim it. Don't let this stop you from getting it though, it was worth every penny!" —JW Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in four colors). Promising review: "I love pickles and olives but hate the mess and pain of pickle/olive brine. I've been known to just drain it out of a jar immediately, even if that means having to throw away the pickles or olives sooner. I randomly discovered these containers from some online article, and knew right away I would be getting one. I now have two but plan on buying more. They're just great. The only thing is, you need to be 100% sure you've got the lids on completely or you will have a disaster on your hands. Check and double check each time you are securing them. The tongs are useful just to have around for anything, too." —Nick Promising review: "Did I need to order one of these when I had extra Amazon points? Absolutely not! Did I order it anyway, especially after my wife thought it was cool? Absolutely! Does it make beer in a can taste like fresh draft beer? Absofreakinlutely!!!!" —Ryan Jenkins Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in eight styles). Promising review: "Between myself (medium long hair) and my overly fluffy cat, a lot of hair and fluff was continually getting caught up on the roller brush of my vacuum. I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great! Super quick to remove all the hair/fur — in virtually a minute, then back to vacuuming with my lovely Miele vacuum." —MKS Promising review: "Like you, when I first came across this, I was hesitant because of the price. It's a bit steep, I thought to myself. But then, after another night of bathtime with two towels on the ground to soak up the water my child had splashed all over, I took the plunge and bought it. And definitely worth it a million times over. My child LOVES the extra space for toys, and I love the water staying in the tub. I definitely and highly suggest buying it. You won't be disappointed! Or your child!!" —Brianna Get it from Amazon for $59.95 (available in four colors). It comes with six hangers that can hold five garments each, 10 if you double them up! Promising review: "I use these hangers for shirts and tees. They allow me to easily find any shirt in my closet and take up very little space compared to single shirts on single hangers. I can also group shirts together by style or color on a single swivel hanger. I am now able to hang additional items in my closet without crowding. I bought this in white, and the edges are smooth." —CAGH Get a pack of six from Amazon for $22.90+ (available in two colors and two pack sizes). Several reviewers say they just throw theirs right in the washing machine to clean them! They also make a smaller one designed for the bikini area and a long, narrow back scrubber for hard-to-reach areas. Promising review: "MAGIC. HOLY CRAP, I LOVE THIS MIT! This cleared up 80% of the 'chicken skin' I have INSTANTLY after one use. Also, it took off way more dead skin than any scrub I’ve ever used. I never write reviews, so I had to when I got this and loved it." —Cheyanne Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in seven colors and as a pair). Promising review: "Words cannot describe how much I hate dealing with gas stations — whether it's getting gas, a car wash, or air for my tires, I really hate being at the gas station for any length of time. I live in the Pittsburgh area, so the up-and-down weather wreaks havoc on my tire pressure, and I am TRULY GRATEFUL to be able to check my tire pressure and fill them up from the comfort of my home. This device couldn't be easier to use, and the fact that you can lock the nozzle in place and fill the air hands-free is wonderful. I never leave reviews, but chef's kiss on this product. Can't recommend enough." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors). Kitsch is a woman-owned accessory brand that was founded in 2010. They sell a wide variety of beauty products and hair accessories for all hair types. Promising review: "I ordered this because I was sick of keeping a towel on my head for so long while my hair dried, and if I didn't have a towel, my shirt was soaking wet from my hair after a shower. For reference, I had very long, thick hair, and it takes a while to air-dry — and I'm so happy I found this scrunchie! It's a lot bigger in person than it looks in the image, which is great because it covers more of your hair to help dry it. No more heavy towels on my head or tight towel wraps." —Meghan Get a pack of two from Amazon for $11.99 (available in two styles). Promising review: "I saw these on an Amazon review video on YouTube and figured I'd give them a try because my boyfriend tends to leave the toothpaste bottle a complete mess, and I can't stand it! These things have a great seal and give out a good amount of toothpaste when you squeeze them. It wipes clean very easily. So glad they come with more than one, but not sure what I'll use the other ones on yet." —Kimberly C. Get a set of three from Amazon for $6.45+ (available in two styles). Promising review: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. This requires very little effort to cut through the food, and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Sam Wieder has good things to say about this! Check out her Fullstar veggie chopper review. Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in several kit styles). Promising review: "My children are fair-skinned and extremely easy to burn. Wearing sunscreen is not optional, but they still fight me every time. Using this product was so fast and easy they didn't even complain!!" —Jeshleigh Get a two-pack from Amazon for $27.98 (available in three colors and individually). Promising review: "We have multiple JavaSok products and love them all! I ordered a new one as a gift for my wife’s 30th birthday, and she was SO excited and happy with it! The patterns are an absolute dream. These are such great products and really do help keep your drinks insulated and cold for a long time. Great for iced beverages to keep your hands dry from condensation too. They clean up well and last forever! We haven’t had any issues with any of their products ever falling apart. Very high quality and a great value! Treat yourself to one (or five 😉) — you won’t regret it!" —Kae Get it from Amazon for $6+ (available in three sizes and several styles). Promising review: "This item is super easy to use and cuts well every time. I've used it at least five times already, and it works perfectly. It's such a great time-saver, and I've even come back to buy more for other friends as a cute little gift. This little helper makes me actually enjoy wrapping presents!! Everyone should have one of these Little ELVES!" —Cathy Bitner Promising review: "This is easy to use, and now that I’ve had it for a few weeks, I don’t know how I have lived without it. Makes draining anything in water so much easier! Highly recommend." —Melissa L. Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in 17 colors). Promising review: "I was amazed how real this looks, even side by side with the real thing. Of course, when you turn it over, you can see the compartment, and you will have to add weight if you want it to feel real, but just sitting in the pantry, it looks real!" —Brenda Get it from Amazon for $8.49 (available in nine styles). This product has over 57,000 5-star ratings! Promising review: "10/10 great product! My husband hates my car since his phone falls through this crack EVERY time. I’ve only had this product for a few weeks, and it’s so worth it as it has completely stopped his phone from falling. He’s now no longer annoyed to ride in my car LOL! It was so easy to install, fit perfectly in the crease. Love how the black almost blends in with my seats, I forget it’s there at times. I recommend this for everyone!" —madison If you'd like to make a checkerboard cake – you need this piece! Promising review: "I was scared to work with layer cakes before because I fail miserably in leveling cakes. Ruler and knife just do not work for me! I can't do it! I decided to give this a try and, boy, I feel like I am an expert cake maker. It's so easy to use and it works perfectly. So far I have tried it on white almond sour cream cake and it has done great. I was able to do a checkerboard cake and I couldn't imagine pulling it off before. Can't wait to make more fabulous cakes! If you suck at leveling cakes, do not hesitate to get this tool! I promise you are going to love it!'' —E. Champion Promising review: "I bought this last year and have used it many times on many different lids, even use it to open gallon milk jugs when those pesky plastic attachments just won't seem to give. I haven't found anything I try that it won't open for me. No more banging on the counter, just hold it under my cabinet and slid it in the V-shaped opening, give it a little twist to open, hardly any effort at all. It was easy to attach under the cabinet. I put mine so the wide opening faces forward. I personally think every house should have one of these." —Addie Promising review: "This worked perfectly to fill the gaps on either side of my stainless steel stove. The product has a protective film over it to protect the stainless steel from being scratched or damaged in transport. All you have to do is peel back the film which is basically a sticker once you’re ready to install. Works exactly as advertised (pictured above, right)!" —Sarah K. Get it from Amazon for $11.95+ (available in three sizes and colors). The kit comes with the giant bubble wand, two pouches of bubble concentrate, and a booklet to help you become a skilled bubble creator! It's my family's #1 favorite summer activity. It's easy enough for our toddler to make giant bubbles with a little help. She loves chasing them, and it always brings a big crowd of kids over to play! Promising review: "Love this!! Easy for kids to use — my six-year-old son figured it out pretty quickly — and fun for adults as well (my husband and I might have played with it as much as our son did...) Makes amazing bubbles. The bubble mix it comes with is fantastic." —Thomas Durant Get it from Amazon for $15.95+ (available in seven styles). You'll get stainless steel knives, forks, spoons, dinner plates, cotton napkins, and wineglasses for four people. It also includes a cheese knife, bottle opener, salt + pepper shaker, plastic hopping board, and water-resistant blanket. Promising review: "I got the two-person, which has ample room for food and beverages. The blanket is surprisingly soft and has a soft plastic side for waterproofing. Great little pockets so you don't lose your keys or phone. I got the brown one. It is very elegant looking. I showed my aunt and bought three more, one for her, her daughter, her husband, and her son and wife. Great for all kinds of uses. Definitely would buy again." —Margaret Get it from Amazon for $69.99+ (available in 2- and 4-person sizes and five colors). This item is noted for children under the age of 3. Promising review: "Found this after our first experience with our 9-month-old at the beach. He wanted to crawl straight in the beach so I wanted to find something that would keep him busy but yet be able to play with sand and water! This was perfect!!!! He loved it and it kept him occupied all day, on and off. We didn’t use the shade since we had a canopy up already for shade so not sure how strong the shade part of it is." —Brittany Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in six styles). I impulse-bought this as an activity to do with my husband when my daughter was six months old. I'm not crafty, so heaven knows this kid isn't getting a scrapbook. Because of this lack of creativity, I've looked for different ways to mark memories with my baby. This kit provides step-by-step instructions, plenty of paint, and it's designed to easily wipe off so folks can try more than once. Although we did it in one go. Sure, it could have come out a little crisper if we'd tried it twice, but life's messy. And I love our little family's smudges. Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in four colors).
