1. Beckham Hotel Collection Pillows

Beckham Hotel Collection

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 PureWow Commerce 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.” Psst, don't forget to clip the 40 percent off coupon to get the 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.

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. With three speed options (420r/min, 360r/min and 260r/min), it provides powerful scrubbing with a long-lasting, rechargeable battery that allows for roughly 90 minutes of continuous cleaning. Plus, the all-in-one design includes eight replaceable brush heads for different tasks, while its waterproof design ensures safe use anywhere in the home.

Designed like a chic pair of headphones, this hands-free neck fan features 78 air outlets to bless you with a cooling breeze around your face. (And with no exposed blades, you don’t have to worry about it causing tangles in your hair.) The 4000mAh battery offers 4 to 16 hours of cooling power, and it has three adjustable speed settings. It’s also lightweight, clocking in at just 9.1 ounces and made from eco-friendly materials. Most importantly, it’s super comfy and ultra-quiet.

With 800 watts of power and seven one-touch programs, this powerful machine lets you transform everyday ingredients into delicious ice cream, gelato, smoothie bowls, milkshakes and beyond. Thanks to innovative ‘Creamify’ technology, it has an inner paddle that finely shaves and churns ice particles into ultra-creamy confections in minutes. As for the one-touch programs, you have pre-programmed speed and pressure settings that create the ideal texture for ice cream, sorbet, gelato, milkshake, smoothie bowl, lite ice cream and mix-ins. It’s also a breeze to clean—just pop the container, lid, and paddle in the top-rack dishwasher. 

Keep your pantry items as fresh as possible with this set of 24 snap-close, leakproof containers in four sizes: small, medium, large and tall. The BPA-free, food-grade plastic containers make it easy to find the goods you're looking for, and even come with reusable stick-on labels you can write on with the included marker (which are dishwasher-safe). If you ask us, this sleek matching set is much more aesthetically pleasing than mismatched Tupperware.

This backpack is all about smart organization. It features two main pockets, two laptop compartments that fit a 13-inch tablet and a 14-inch laptop—and it even includes a built-in USB charging port to keep everything juiced up. Beyond that, it also includes a high-density water-resistant bag to keep your wet clothes and towels separate from dry items and a dedicated compartment to store your shoes neatly. Oh, and did I mention that it converts into a duffle bag, shoulder bag or travel bag? Sign me up.

This school lunchbox is great for your little ones. Not only is the four-compartment tray perfect for picky eaters who hate when food touches, but it’s also designed to keep lunches cool without the need for extra ice packs. What’s more, it’s built with a durable food-safe shell with rubberized edges—so it won’t crack if they drop it—and it has patented, leakproof technology with a kid-friendly latch.

This editor-approved carpet cleaner is TikTok famous for a reason: It can restore filthy sofas, crumb-filled carpets and coffee-stained car seats with a wave of its included brush head. Thanks to its compact and lightweight design, you can easily maneuver it from room to room—despite the fact that the tank can hold up to 48 ounces of cleaner at a time. It also comes with a self-cleaning hose and a stain remover spray.

Yet another organization essential, this drawer device contains multiple compartments, including storage slots for freezer, sandwich, quart, snack and gallon bags. It has a three-in-one dispenser, which has cutters for aluminum foil, plastic wrap and wax paper, but the real draw is that it makes everything accessible in one place with label stickers (that make it easy to tell what’s what). You’ll also appreciate that it has pre-drilled holes if you want to mount it to the wall, and it includes anti-slip pads if you’re placing it in a drawer. 

You may have seen this stain treater spray go viral on TikTok (and now is *definitely* the time to see if it lives up to the hype while it’s on sale). ICYMI, this non-toxic stain remover is praised for its ability to quickly and effectively eliminate all sorts of stains— from food and mud to even blood, making it an essential for parents. Oh, and it’s free from peroxide, chlorine bleach, and phosphates, and is 100 percent biodegradable with a neutral pH, so it's safe to use around little ones and furry friends. Just spray, blot, and launder to see stubborn stains vanish—even the deep-set ones like berry juice, baby food, formula, ketchup, spaghetti sauce and more. 

Take your charcuterie game to the next level with this large and dynamic serving platter (or gift it to a friend who loves entertaining).

With a compact design that fits under sofas, beds and tables, it’s easy to stay fit in your bedroom or home office with this under-desk treadmill. It’s designed with a durable alloy steel frame—and it supports up to 330 pounds with a wide, non-slip running belt and eight silicone shocks for a safe and quiet run (or walk between Zoom calls). The LED display and smart remote make it easy to track your speed, distance, time and calories, and it even has two rubber pads, in case you need to up your comfort level. 

This waterproof collar has 16 safe shock settings and various sound and vibration options to help train your pup. But don't worry, the metal prongs are fit with silicone covers to prevent excess skin irritation (so no harm to Fido). The single remote can also connect to two collars, making it perfect for multi-dog households. The collar adjusts to fit necks between 6 and 27 inches, so it can be used on a range of breeds.

This lightweight container features five compartments, each holding ¼ cup of solid food (see it in action here). It’s made from durable, BPA and PVC-free polypropylene, so it's top-rack dishwasher-safe, and the transparent, airtight and leakproof lid keeps messes at bay, making it ideal for on-the-go snacking. It also has an interactive button that keeps kids engaged while helping with motor skills as they pick their snacks. And with a 6.5-inch diameter, it's perfect for toddler-sized portions.

The compact device connects to Bluetooth, giving you the ability to print flawless pictures straight from your phone through the app, which are laminated to last a lifetime. Even better? Once the printer is connected to the app, you can use it to enhance your photos with stickers, text, borders and more. (You can even place multiple photos together to create a strip using the photo booth feature.)

These modular, dishwasher-safe containers are great for organizing your refrigerator, with bases that nest and lids that fit multiple containers. The set includes one medium (4.6-cup) and one large (18.1-cup) container that, thanks to FreshVent technology, regulate airflow, extending the shelf life of your produce. With built-in filters that last a lifetime, the units are meant to maintain ideal oxygen and carbon dioxide levels for your produce, while the elevated bases prevent moisture buildup (and ensure proper airflow). Simply place your produce in the containers straight from the grocery store, unwashed and uncut, and wash when it's time to use.

You'll find yourself using this convenient drying rack every time you wash dishes as it easily rolls over your sink for mess-free drip-drying. Not only that, but the rack is also foldable and portable, meaning you can take it with you on the road (think summer camping trips). It's made from strong and sturdy stainless steel with an anti-slip silicone edge that should prevent it from moving around, even when it's wet. According to the brand, it can support up to 33 pounds at a time, so feel free to pile on the pots and pans.

This unique magnetic stacking toy offers a novel twist on traditional building blocks. With geometric shapes in varying sizes and colors, it challenges kids to stack tiles while encouraging a fresh approach to building. According to the brand, this not only enhances visual discrimination, brain creativity and hands-on execution, but it also fosters creativity, resilience and patience in each session. The tiles are crafted from ABS toxin-free material, so they’re safe, nontoxic and pet-approved. FYI: This set comes with 48 pieces to keep your kiddo busy for hours.

Looking for an easy way to clean your car? This eco-friendly cleaning gel can lift dust, debris and soot from all of your car’s nooks and crannies. You can use it repeatedly until the gel becomes dark (as long as you keep it somewhere cool), and it won't stick to your hands, vents or cup holders in the process. Pro tip: You can also use it to clean your laptop keyboard.

This top-rated water flosser is here to save you a trip to the dentist. It has seven 360-degree rotating tips for multiple family members, as well as ten massage settings for all of your oral hygiene needs. And what's so great, beside the 90-second run time, is that the 22-ounce reservoir is detachable for easy cleaning and refilling. And with a 4.7- by 3.8-inch footprint, it will even fit on a crowded bathroom countertop.

Equipped with high-quality stainless-steel blades, this vegetable chopper can dice, slice, grate and of course, chop a variety of vegetables and fruits.

24. Twelve South AirFly Duo

Twelve South

Why does this wireless audio transmitter have more than 7,800 five-star reviews? Because it allows you to transmit audio from various devices using just an audio jack that connects to AirPods, earbuds, or wireless headphones. One happy shopper raves: “Worked like a charm on the airplane. And now I use it in my job! I'm a court reporter and sometimes can't hear in the courtroom when they're doing sidebars. I plug this into my digital recorder, put my wireless Bose headphones on, and now I can hear through my recorder! It's a freaking Godsend.”

If loose cables and miscellaneous charging accessories drive you mad, this electronic organizer is about to become your new BFF. It offers ample space for cords, cables, USB drives, cellphones, chargers, power banks and more—and it’s constructed from waterproof oxford fabric with a soft sponge interior to protect things from getting damaged.

This tiny but mighty reading light offers five adjustable brightness levels and three color modes—including amber, filter blue light, breeze and precise—for detailed work. Its five LED beads ensure even light distribution without flickering or harshness, and it’s USB rechargeable with a built-in battery that provides 10-80 hours of reading time (depending on your brightness setting). It’s also incredibly flexible and portable, weighing just 1.4-ounces and featuring a 150-degree clamp with a light head that’s adjustable in multiple directions.

Not to mention the non-woven fabric promotes ventilation to protect from mold or water damage.

ICYMI, an AirTag is a small, coin-shaped device that helps you keep track of your belongings through GPS. (You can attach it to anything you don't want to lose—like your keys, bags, or your pet's collar—and use the Find My app to locate it.) And this four-pack of cases are designed specifically for the Apple AirTag 2021 GPS item finder. Not only does it feature a metal carabiner, making it easy to attach your AirTags to virtually anything, but it also comes in a shockproof silicone material offers protection against spills and drops.

32. Baleaf Belt Bag

BALEAF

Lightweight and versatile, this fanny pack is ideal for traveling, running, hiking—or just running to Trader Joes. It comes with a large adjustable strap, extending from 32.5 to 55 inches, which allows you to wear it as a waist bag, backpack or crossbody bag. It also boasts three mesh compartments inside with a zippered pocket on the back for your phone, and the two-liter capacity means there’s enough space for your sunglasses and wallet inside.

Whether you’re a packing pro or always struggle to get your suitcase to close, these packing cubes can help. Each set comes with eight cubes in various sizes: three large, three medium and two small—plus, a mini toiletry bag, laundry bag *and* a shoe bag to keep all your stuff perfectly organized. Even better, the breathable mesh tops let you see what's inside without having to open them, and they’re made from lightweight, durable nylon fabric with sturdy zippers that ensure everything stays in place while you’re on the move.

Calling all germophobes and hypochondriacs alike: This thermometer uses non-contact technology with an infrared sensor that can read temperatures 1.18 inches away from the forehead's center. Its accuracy is ensured through a tri-point sensory system, which collects over 100 data points per second (and accounts for environmental variables). It’s easy to use with a single-button design, and it provides fast, clear temperature readings in just one second on a large LED display. And did we mention the two AAA batteries are included?

A nice cup makes your drinks taste even better. Sure, that's not scientifically proven, but nearly 2,500 people have given these glass cups a 5-star rating for their chic appearance and durability. Those real bamboo lids? The cherry on top.
