A mini waffle maker that’s great for meal prep…

This handy product has been a favorite of Skimm’rs and editors for as long as we can remember. Not only is its mini size perfect for compact storage, but it can also churn out waffles (and waffle-shaped foods) in seconds. We even love it for eggs…and cookie dough. ($9.99, Amazon)

Amazon

A lip oil under $10 our editor can’t stop hyping…

Our editor claims that this makes her lips look juicy and plump, without the stinging that comes with traditional plumping glosses on the market. It’s an oil-gloss hybrid, isn’t sticky, and provides up to 12 hours of hydration. Pick from seven shades — our editor loves that she can “drink a margarita and not need to reapply,” which is a win in our books. ($8.94, Amazon)

Buy it
Amazon

A microfiber hair towel that’s a must for wash days…

It’s lightweight, won’t tug on your hair, and will absorb excess water. Many of our editors use one in their routine and note that it can minimize frizz, too. This one even has a loop at the nape of the neck so you can twist it securely into place. ($25, Amazon)

Buy it
Amazon

A baseball book he won’t be able to put down…

This book is a bestseller from Father’s Day and is perfect for any baseball fan in your life. In it, a sports journalist covers 50 of the most memorable moments in baseball history — so if he's a sports fan, it'll be a home run. ($13.99+, Amazon)

Buy it
Amazon

A body spray that’ll heal blemishes…

Skimm’rs have been raving about this spray from Naturium. It’s made of salicylic acid, an ingredient known to heal and calm acne. Because it’s a spray bottle, it’ll help you access any hard-to-reach places, including your back. Keep it in your gym bag for after workouts, post-shower, or as preventative care on any acne-prone areas. ($16.49, Amazon)

Amazon

A gel that’ll keep tiles and sealants clean…

This product will clean up anywhere mold and mildew are thriving. To use, apply to the desired spot in a well-ventilated area and let it sit for up to eight hours. Rinse it off with warm water to reveal a sparkling surface. Make sure to wear gloves when you apply. ($14.99, Amazon)

Amazon

An adorable duck lamp…

Yes, you read that right. After a Skimm’r wrote about this in our series (Not So) Silly Little Treat, our editors and countless readers bought this charming light. You can change its three settings by gently tapping its stomach. It’ll emit a soft glow and its rechargeable battery lasts up to a week on a single charge. ($15, Amazon)

Amazon

A dress you can wear with just about anything…

It’s the piece Skimm’rs put on our radar, and now we’re stocking up in every color. It’s soft, stretchy, and flowy, with a romantic V-neck silhouette. It’s also under $25 — and we think it’d be great if you’re nursing or postpartum. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly staple for the upcoming summer months, check it out. ($7.40+, Amazon)

Berkley

A summer read from one of our favorite authors…

Stop what you’re doing. Emily Henry is back (and just in time for reading-in-the-park season). In “Funny Story,” you’ll be transported to a cozy Michigan town, where Daphne, a children’s librarian, is putting the pieces back together after her fiancé called off their engagement for his childhood best friend. The solution? Move in with that childhood friend’s ex-fiancé, Miles, and “fake date” him for jealousy’s sake. While we loved “Happy Place” for its rich character development, Henry’s latest feels like the classic feel-good rom-com we need right now. ($12.99+, Amazon)

Buy it
Walmart

A puff-sleeved midi dress…

Introducing the dress you’re going to want in every color. We love that it’s in a classic shirtdress silhouette and is lightweight enough for hot commutes to the office. The best part? It’s $34. ($34, Walmart)

Buy it
Nordstrom

Loafer mules that are worth the investment…

These are pricey, but they’re majorly on sale and will be sure to last. They’re made of leather, so they’ll mold to your feet and get softer with time. These are a great pair for summer because you don’t have to worry about your heels rubbing. Pair them with everything from linen shorts to dresses. ($198, Nordstrom)

Buy it
Walmart

A snail mucin toner under $15…

Skimm’rs can’t get enough of snail mucin skincare. In the past, this one from COSRX has been a bestseller, but lately our readers have been obsessed with this one from Walmart. It’s cruelty-free (no snails were harmed in the making of this product) and will calm your skin. Apply it after you’ve washed your face, but before your moisturizer. ($13.88, Walmart)

Buy it
Nordstrom

The Dyson AirStrait for straight hair in minutes…

This is another investment piece, but Skimm’rs were jumping at the fact that it was on sale over Memorial Day. We can attest this is worth the large price tag because it’ll take your hair from wet to dry (and sleek) in just a few minutes. This is a straightener-blow-dryer hybrid. Instead of heat emitting from the plates, it’s air instead. ($499.99, Nordstrom)

Buy it
Alo

A strappy athletic dress from a trendy brand…

If you spend any amount of time on Instagram, you’ve likely spotted influencers wearing activewear from Alo. Unfortunately for our wallets, their clothes really are that good — and last for years. This dress is just as perfect for a tennis match as it is for brunch with your girlfriends. It has a built-in bra and shorts, plus adjustable straps. Grab the black for a classic look or one of the bright colors to fully embrace summer. ($118, Alo)
