The Dyson Supersonic hair dryer is a beauty guru's dream, but the high price tag is far from ideal. That's why Amazon shoppers keep adding the LOVEPS hair dryer to their carts as its performance, lightweight design and foldability make it a competitive budget buy for under $40. One five-star review writes: "The 1800W power allows for quick drying, which is a lifesaver on busy mornings."
Insects like mosquitos aren't a sexy party of summer, but they are a reality. That's why GH readers have been adding this GH Seal star to their Amazon shopping carts. All you have to do is plug-in the trap and it will attract insects using UV and blue light 24/7. In our tests, the ZEVO Flying Insect Trap was able to collect house flies, fruit flies, gnats, mosquitoes and moths.
The season of spring flowers is coming to a close, but that doesn't mean you can't continue to display gorgeous arrangements in this Caribbean blue vase. Bundle your favorite summer flowers and wow guests with your display.
Swimsuit season is upon us, but finding a one-piece that fits, matches your style and makes you feel confident poolside is a whole other topic. Thankfully, you can look to this top-seller our readers love just as much as Amazon reviewers. We love the elegant square neckline and adjustable straps. The brand says the tummy control one-piece fits up to cup size E, while Amazon shoppers with larger busts note it fit them well too.
Patio and beach umbrellas are necessary for summertime fun, and this under $50 patio umbrella is available in 18 colors to match your other outdoor furniture. We appreciate the water-resistant polyester fabric and crank-lifting system for easy opening. "This umbrella provides ample shade, whether you're lounging by the pool, hosting a backyard barbecue, or simply enjoying a quiet afternoon on the patio," writes an Amazon reviewer
If you sleep hot or don't have an AC window unit in your bedroom, cooling sheets can help make nighttime in the warmer months a bit more comfortable. Our pros appreciate the affordable price of these Coolmax sheets which are made from synthetic materials to aid in moisture-wicking for comfy, cool sleep.
If you have a long journey booked for summer vacation, invest in a travel pillow to make the plane, car or train ride more comfortable. Our pros named the Evolution S3 Travel Neck Pillow best overall in our most recent evaluation. It has a memory foam fill and testers found it kept their neck from tilting too far to the side.
Gift-giving season is year-round, but Best Friends Day is only once a year on June 8. Get your bestie this meaningful fill-in-the-blank book you can curate with memories from over the years. Reply to prompts and tell your BFFL how much they mean to you in a unique way (that may have them shedding a tear).
When it comes down to it, dresses can be expensive and sometimes you need a cute outfit in a pinch. That's why our readers are shopping this t-shirt dress on Amazon. The lightweight fabric is ideal for warm days and we love the flattering belted waist. Choose from over 20 colors. Plus, the dress has pockets — need we say more?
Whether you have a vegetable garden or sprawling flowers in your backyard, a garden hose like this one is key for watering larger, outdoor areas fast. Readers with a green thumb seem to like Flexzilla's hose for its easy-to-maneuver design. It held its own in our durability tests and our pros found the hose's water pressure to be impressive.
If you want to make your sleep zone even more luxurious come hot summer nights, upgrade your mattress with a cooling pad or topper. Our best value pick is made of moisture-wicking materials to help keep you cool and has over 13,500 Amazon reviews. The quilted down-alternative pillowtop is plush and comfortable to sleep — almost as if you were on a cloud.
Fruit flies and gnats are tiny, but they're oh-so annoying to get rid of. We don't blame readers for adding Aunt Fannie's Fruit Fly Trap to their shopping carts ahead of summer. All you have to do is unscrew the lid and set the trap on your counter — easy as that! Plus, it's safe around humans and pets so you don't have to worry about your furry friends ingesting anything.
If you prefer wearing pads but still want to swim comfortably, period swimwear is your new best friend. Similar to period underwear, these leakproof bottoms have got your back (or, ehm, bottom) while you jump off the diving board. One five-star review even writes, "I have a very heavy flow and these swim bottoms did exactly as advertised, there was absolutely no accidental drips or anything!"
