From bathroom upgrades to backyard glow-ups, these are the picks readers keep adding to cart.

I am a contributing writer and former BuzzFeed Shopping fellow and I love writing about the latest fashion trends, the cutest home decor, and what beauty products are actually worth adding to your makeup bag.

Promising review: "Best kitchen/hand towels I have found on Amazon yet. I get so many compliments on these!! Just bought some for my sister and mom, they love them so much. Soft and absorbent, just the right thickness, they have some wear and tear after just a couple of months, but we use them daily and have washed and dried them a lot. Definitely worth the price." —CA

Price: $18.39+ for a set of four (available in five color options)

Just to be clear, you need an Alexa device for it to work!

Promising review: "Not sure how I lived so long without one of these. I am disabled and getting to the light switch is sometimes hard to do but with Alexa, she does the lights for me. I figured she saves me money on the electric bill because I turn the lights off more than I did before. You just tell her the time you want the light on and it goes on. Tell her what time you want it to go off at night and it goes off. Works really well when you’re on vacation, she can just turn the light on and off to make it look like we’re home." —Robyn

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Melanie Aman loves hers — check out her Shark NeverChange Air Purifier review to learn more.

Promising review: "Powerful for the size. It's easy to find a spot to place it. I love how quiet it is, so it can run through the night while we sleep. We have definitely seen a difference within our home with allergy relief and freshness of the air. Simple to use." —Amazon Customer

"The air feels fresher, and it helps a lot with dust and everyday odors. I really like the NeverChange filter design because it saves money and hassle in the long run — no constant filter replacements to worry about." —LDevell

Price: $159.99+ (available in four sizes and five colors).

Promising review: "I've been searching for something to remove the weeds for a while and came across this amazing tool. Since I refuse to use chemicals in my yard, I've been left with scraped knuckles every time I attempt to remove weeds. The weeds have grown so tightly in the concrete cracks that I pretty much gave up; even weed-whacking it didn't help much. Yes, you do have to use a little bit of effort but the end result was so worth it!" —Shelley Arakaki

Promising review: "I can't say enough good things about these sheets. I was waking up at night HOT all the time and thinking it was a physical thing for me personally. I was reading online and stumbled on these and thought 'Hmmm...wonder if my uber-expensive sheets are actually making me hot at night??' I ordered these and I'm sleeping like a baby now. No more night sweats. Ordering some for my son as well. Game changer! High quality and exceptional price." —J. Marshall

Promising review: "I read from other reviews these sheets were soft so I wasn't too surprised when I received them and man are they soft and so comfortable. We have Egyptian cotton sheets that were expensive and I promise we have changed them back out for the comfort of these sheets. The cotton sheets were cold and these were just right. The other thing is my husband has thin skin that any nick he will bleed. Well he has bled on these white sheets and when we washed them (in cold water as instructed) the blood always comes out and never stains. I can't say enough great things about them except to say all three of my adult kids are receiving a set as part of their Christmas!" —Sheree Chrestman

Price: $36.97+ (available in sizes twin–split king, plus sheet sets with deep pockets for taller mattresses and 45 colors and patterns).

Promising review: "I generate a LOT of body heat, so overheating has been a lifelong issue for me at night, any time it isn't the dead of winter. My mattress topper was just one of those typical memory foam ones, and those things love to retain heat, so despite the other things I had, I kept waking up sweaty and nasty anytime it was over 70 degrees in my apartment. My sister grabbed one of these and said it was a night and day experience, so I gave it a shot last summer and HOLY. SHET. This thing works. Not only is it soft and well-made, but it's breathable and keeps me nice and perfectly cool all night, year round. It's not cold in the winter, and it's not hot in the summer, and I have had very few sweaty nights over the last 365 days thanks to this thing. If you produce way too much body heat, or you live in an area like I do where AC is not normal because warm weather historically was not, either, this thing is your new BFF." —The Overlord

Price: $22.74+ (available in sizes twin–California king and three colors) 

Promising review: "​These are honestly my favorite pillows. They are super comfortable, thick, fluffy, and the perfect size. They don’t stay flat or lose their shape like other pillows I’ve had.

The price might make you hesitate at first, but I promise they are worth it! I absolutely love these pillows and would 100% recommend them!" —Esther P.

Price: $49.99+ (available in three sizes)

Promising review: "I can’t say enough good things about the Dowinx Gaming Chair! I was looking for a chair that would be comfortable enough for long work-from-home days and also perfect for relaxing while gaming — this chair checks ALL the boxes. The pocket spring cushion feels like sitting on a luxury sofa — no more sore back or stiff legs. The breathable fabric is a lifesaver (especially in summer), and the gel pad adds an extra layer of cooling comfort. The reclining feature + footrest is perfect for when I want to take a quick break or watch a movie. It was super easy to assemble, feels very sturdy and high quality, and the look is just beautiful — the beige color fits perfectly with my home office decor. After using this chair for several weeks, I can confidently say it has improved my comfort, posture, and even productivity. If you’re thinking about buying it — DO IT! You won’t regret it." —Manolo

Price: $129.99 (available in eight colors and two styles).

Promising review: "The dual nozzle is what makes it worth it. One setting for general use, one for a more targeted clean. Both do the job well. Water pressure is adjustable, which matters. Start low… learned that the hard way. Big difference compared to toilet paper. You just feel cleaner. Also cuts down how much paper you use, which is a plus. Over time, it probably pays for itself." —SFRGR

Price: $69 (originally $99; available in four colors). 

Promising review: "This fits perfectly in my nightstand, I love it.... really well-made and met all my highest expectations. I didn't get the model that has top coverage because it's on a low shelf where no one will notice unless they get down low and look inside. I would definitely buy this again." —Diane

Promising review: "My portable AC unit had gaps between the plastic piece where it mounts on my window. I tried tape but found it had no effect. I tried this tape; it lowered my room temperature by 5 degrees. Worth it!" —Tai T.

Price: $9.99+ (available in three sizes).

It features a programmable LCD controller with a heating and cooling thermostat and automated fan speeds. 

Promising review: "My home was generally too hot in the summer and a bit cooler than I liked in the winter. Now, with this product, the entire house is much more balanced — upstairs and downstairs. In the winter, after my HVAC system shuts off, the unit continues to run as long as the duct continues to put out heat. In the summer, the unit puts out cold air upstairs even though the HVAC system is off — making upstairs bedrooms very, very comfortable for an afternoon nap. Setup is not difficult. Best of all, my energy bill went down. I was concerned that it would go up since these units are plugged into a receptacle, but the units appear to be 12- or 24-volt units (low amperage). Bottom line, an outstanding product that I feel is well worth the money I spent." —Sharon

Price: $59.99 (available in two sizes). 

In addition to functioning as a sunrise alarm clock, Hatch Restore 3 lets you personalize a "bedtime routine" for each night to train your brain to recognize sleep cues and get a better night's rest. Options include changing the light settings to more amber tones, soothing noise options, and sleep meditations and sleep stories you can get in the Hatch app.

Promising review: "I’ve been using the Hatch 3 for a few weeks now, and I must say, it has completely transformed my mornings. The customizable sounds and soothing noise options create such a calming, peaceful atmosphere that makes waking up feel like a pleasant experience rather than a jarring event. I’ve found myself waking up feeling more relaxed, with the gradual transition from soft sounds to more lively tones gently guiding me out of sleep. The app is another great bonus. It allows for full customization of the wake-up and wind-down routines, so I can set the tone of my day from the moment I wake up to when I’m getting ready for bed. The soft, warm light feature is also fantastic. It mimics the sunrise, gradually brightening the room and helping to regulate my circadian rhythm. Overall, the Hatch 3 is not just a smart alarm clock; it’s an experience." —Nate

Price: $169.99 (available in three styles). 

AND the sticky cartridges are easily replaceable, so you can avoid touching the bugs altogether. 

Check out a TikTok of the plug-in fly trap in action. 

Promising review: "I can’t say enough wonderful things about these handy little bug catchers! They are simple to use, cheap to refill, and catch a ton of small bugs and flies. I have eight of them now, all around my house! It’s a little gross how many tiny flying insects are around…but it makes me feel a lot better now that I have these!" —Chris H. 

Promising review: "Absolutely love this lamp! It fits perfectly in any corner of my home and provides the best amount of light to the area, especially at night. I don’t use the app to control it often, but when I do, it works great and is easy to use. I’ve had it for almost a year now, and it works amazingly. I’ve had zero issues with it at all." —Austyn Farr

Price: $69.99+ (available in four colors).

Promising review: "Absolutely love these. My daughter’s toilet was missing the original caps, so I thought I would give these a try. They are so nice looking!! She loves them. Great quality and fits perfectly over the screw. Going to buy some for my bathroom now! Buy it, you won’t regret it." —Valentine Girl

Price: $11.88+ (available in 11 styles).

Promising review: "Went on easily around the toilet; [it] looks so much better. Covered discoloration around the base, highly recommend." —Jerry

Price: $9.29+ (available in two sizes and clear or white).

Reviewers say these filters are super easy to apply with the peel-and-stick adhesive, but some reviewers have found that peeling the adhesive *off* also brought up some of their fan blade finish. If you're a renter, consider installing the filters with Command strips to help avoid damage.

Promising review: "This is a no-brainer. After six months, the amount these filters have grabbed out of the air is disturbing! We have one dog who brings in a lot of outside contaminants as well. Every fan in our house has a set." —Emily b

Price: $22.99 (also available in a five-pack).

Promising reviews: "If you are even thinking about this blanket, I say 100% go for it! It is soft, comfy, and a perfect summer weight!" —leeanneva

"Wow, wow, wow!!! 🤩 This blanket is so soft, and the colors and image are so vibrant! The material is great and lightweight. I don’t know how to describe it. I almost bought the one from Anthropologie, but this is exactly like it, but way less expensive! I think I’ll be gifting a few of these because they are so nice!" —Amy

Price: $22.99+ (available in six sizes and 45 styles). 

Promising review: "It really cools. I bought the twin-size as a throw since I’m the one who was hot at night with hot flashes. It is recommended not to wash in warm water or dry warm heat, as it will cause the cooling tech to change. It feels soft like a nylon and spandex mix — very light. I would buy this again for a person with hot sweats. :)" —Donna M

Price: $37.99+ (available in five colors and seven sizes).

This sale price applies to the 8'x10' version.

Promising review: "Absolute perfection!! I have a navy colored couch and yellow accents (pictured above, right) and the green colored rug matched perfectly!! It is super soft and very easy to work with! The pattern is adorable and I’m impressed with the quality. Would definitely buy again." —Deena

Price: $71.99 (available in several colors and sizes). 

Promising review: "I love spending time outside and we entertain on our patio but when it's over 100 degrees nobody feels like visiting...till now! I bought one and liked it so much I ordered another to cover both patios. They lower the temps to a more moderate level and don't use 100 gallons of water doing it. I put mine along the top of our privacy fence and then put a fan in behind it and made it almost like having an AC unit outside. Easy to put up and take down, convenient hanging hooks, too!" —Sonya Combs

Promising review: "Great Stone Mat! I am amazed at how quickly it dries, and its so easy to fold away when not in use! Its a good size, covers the area perfectly and the quality is excellent. It's durable, easy to clean and looks fantastic in my newly renovated bathroom! I would highly recommend!" —Jessica Carter

Promising review: "Works really well for holding outside decor without wear and tear as long as its not too heavy." —Kitt Smith

Promising review: "I really like this faucet mat. It absorbs water quickly and helps keep the area around my sink clean and dry. It looks modern, feels sturdy, and dries pretty fast. It’s simple, practical, and makes the sink area look much more organized. Very happy with it!" —Ithaly Q.

Price: $16.39+ (available in seven sizes and four colors).

Snug Plugs is a small business that specializes in home improvement products. 

Promising review: "I saw Snug Plug on TikTok and immediately ordered them. I have outlets at home AND at work that I couldn't keep anything plugged into because they're so loose. Snug Plug quickly and easily solved that problem and now I can finally have a phone charger in my den. Yay! I highly recommend this product." —KSay

Promising review: "Where I live, it’s so dark and I have no outside electricity off my screened-in deck. I wanted lights for my stairs for safety and found these lights, which work and look great! They come with everything you need to fasten them to the stairs so they don’t fall off as well. I even bought extra and tested them in the event that the ones that are currently outside get damaged for any reason, and they are no longer sold. Definitely recommend for the price, nice and bright, and easy installation. Plus, they last all night long!" —Brooke

Price: $23.99+ (available in warm or cool white light and six pack sizes)

Promising review: "I was so surprised by how effective, sturdy, long-lasting, and overall wonderful this product is. I put them in with my plants to help give that 'firefly' feel. They add so much to the look and feel of your yard at night. I get so many compliments. The color is warm, and they're easy to put together. Just make sure your plants don’t cover the solar panel. I’ve used these solar lights for a few years now, so it’s worth the price. Only advice I have is to bring them inside in the winter." —Erin

Price: $48.98 (available in sets of two and four)

Promising review: "These lights are absolutely perfect for a fun outdoor space. They provide the right amount of ambiance for any outdoor activity. Whether you want to have a girls night on the back patio or just to simply read and unwind after a long day, these lights provide a soft glow that isn't harsh on your eyes or too dim. I would highly recommend." —Becca

Price: $17.99+ (available in three colors and five sizes).

Friendsheep is a small business specializing in plastic-free wool products that are handcrafted in Nepal with sustainability and ethical production in mind.

Promising review: "The static here is so bad, and we have terribly hard water. Clothes come out staticky and rough. Typically I would toss in five dryer sheets a load to make the clothes feel soft and to keep static at bay, but when the weather is dry like this, we often use liquid softener AND sheets. So, although some people may think — oh, she used a sheet... that's cheating! — you will have better perspective on where our laundry is starting off before moving over to these woolen balls. In the few loads I ran this weekend, I used no liquid, and a single sheet + these six balls to dry and the clothes came out softer than I have ever felt them and not a lick of static. As I walk around the house — not in stocking feet — I am shocking my sweet boyfriend every time I touch him or we hug, but these loads of laundry came out static free! I am in awe!" —Call of Kthalia

Price: $21+ (available in sets of three or six and a variety of designs, including penguins, honeybees, soot sprites, and more). 

Promising review: "Installed on my patio that was dated, and it is a nice update. You need to figure out the layout before snapping together so it fits in your space. I installed the teak tiles several years ago and have had to replace some tiles over the years, and that part is time-consuming, but it’s well worth it and looks good when you’re done. I’ve also power-washed each year and have also added a light water-based stain, which looks good and keeps the look uniform when replacing older tiles." —Jorge

Price: $77.48 (also available in a larger size and two other combinations)

Check out a TikTok review of Midsummer's Night.

Promising review: "I have really begun to enjoy the jar candles. They seem to last much longer and burn cleaner. Just ordered my second Pumpkin Spice, I liked it so much." —Cassie

Price: $16.96 (available in other scents)

Promising review: "Where do I start? I absolutely LOVE this product. I wanted to replace our bathroom mirror, but due to its size, it would have cost a lot! I came across this on Amazon and decided to give it a try. The application process was super easy and applied without bubbles as long as you go slow and rub it down as you go. I kid you not. It looks like wood and feels like it, too! You can feel and see the 'wood grain.' It’s absolutely stunning and looks like I bought a whole new mirror." —Taylor

Price: $7.97+ (available in two sizes). 

It's made of 16-gauge stainless steel powder-coated with a black finish.

Promising review: "I have had my eye on this product for quite some time. Finally bit the bullet when I saw it was on sale. It is worth every penny. We use this firepit every weekend, and I can't wait to purchase some of the extra accessories. Not only does it look beautiful in our backyard, but it's easy to move with two people, it works, and we get so many compliments!!" —Honest reviewer

One 5.6-pound bag provides about 615 square feet of new lawn coverage, or up to 1,845 square feet if you're overseeding.

Promising reviews: "Before and after [above] of using the Rapid Grass and extra fertilizer for lawn bald spots from Sunday. This before-and-after is only 10 days of growth. I also applied a thin layer of top soil to let the grass root more." —Chandler Varonfakis

"Have a dog who destroys the spot she likes to go. We rotate and use this, and the grass comes back great and full." —Lindsey

Price: $23.98 (available in two other sizes)

This product’s packaging says to avoid using it around open food, so keep your chip bags closed and hot dogs covered (these silicone lids would cover plates easily) while you hang out. But it should be fine to pull out a hot dog and handful of chips if you’re going to eat them right away. Read more about the low dosages of pesticides in products like this at the American Mosquito Control Association.

Promising reviews: "Hallelujah! I had to write a review because it worked so, so, so well! Amazing really. I camped for a week in a spot by the river that is super infested with mosquitoes. Our camp was literally mosquito free! We would walk to other peoples camps and they would be swarming them. I eventually just carried one around with me, and it works! I am on of those people that always get bit. This is the first thing I’ve ever used that really keeps them away, it’s almost magic. So grateful." —Shelby Gold

"This thing actually works great. We started using it during outdoor markets, and it made a noticeable difference with mosquitoes. Normally, I get bitten constantly when we’re outside for long periods of time, but with this running nearby, it helped a lot. It’s also really easy to set up and convenient to bring along. We’ve used it at markets, sitting outside at home, and at other outdoor events, and have been really happy with it. It’s become one of those things we always make sure to bring with us now." —Paige 

Price: $22.94+ (available in 10 colors and packs of two). 

Promising review: "Love this product. amazing product. Had to cover holes from staples and nails used to hang soundproofing foam on walls before moving out. Used as directed — rubbing on the wall in circular motion — and it works amazingly well. Also used my finger to rub into smaller holes and it worked great. Wiped off with damp rag about 2–5 minutes after applying and the room was totally transformed even before paint touchups!!" —Jamie
