“When I’m making soup, which is actually pretty often during the cooler months, it’s always a pain to have to transfer soup from a stockpot to a blender in order to purée chunks of vegetables. This immersion blender makes it so easy and minimizes clean-up. It works for way more than just soup too. You can make mashed potatoes, smoothies, milkshakes, beat eggs, or prepare baby food.” —Hannah Loewentheil

“I initially bought these for running, since I was sick of spending so much money on “blister-proof” fancy socks and a ton of reviewers mentioned that these worked just as well. Not only did I find that to be true (even though I am a VERY blister-prone individual), they are also just so freaking soft. I spend all day in them in my apartment now and get mad when they’re in the laundry. If you want to up your sock game … these are the pairs.” —Emma Lord

“It’s not a gimmick! I had my lactose-intolerant best friend try it too and we both loved it. She didn’t have to pop a pill, deal with stomach pains, or go to the bathroom after (all of which usually happen if she eats ice cream without her lactose pill). It doesn’t taste different from regular ice cream at all — in fact, you just feel good about the fact that it’s natural and made without cows. If you’re wondering, our fave flavors were Blueberry Pie (this is big for me as I generally don’t like blueberry-flavored things but this one has graham cookies in it!) and Hazelnut Chocolate.

This ice cream is made with an animal-free whey protein and the packaging is made with a renewable resource. Read more about how the ice cream is made here and check out the flavors here. Fun fact: If you send a picture of yourself asking your grocery to stock Brave Robot, they refund you the shipping costs!” —Nusrat Sultana

Get it from Brave Robot for $58+ (available in eight flavors and packs of four or eight).

“I love this lip balm because it’s ~super~ moisturizing. The ‘Green Dragon’ shade goes on completely clear so it also makes a great base to wear under lipstick. It’s ultra comfy to wear, nonsticky, and doesn’t flake. Plus, the lid is magnetic and the overall packaging is really nice quality.” —Kayla Boyd

Get it from Sephora for $16 (available in six colors).

“I recently ordered this top to see what the hype was all about, and, let me tell you, it did not disappoint. The top is so comfortable and hits right where my high-waisted leggings end, which means there’s no extra fabric around my waist. The top is great for low-impact workouts — but I also love to wear it every day because it eliminates the need to wear a sports bra and a tank top, so it’s perfect to layer under sweatshirts and even sweaters.” —Abby Kass

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes S—XXL and 19 colors)

“Two things I used to believe: 1) That putting on deodorant would never be something I looked forward to and 2) natural deodorants just didn’t work as well and I was stuck with my regular drugstore brand (rhymes with Schmecret) instead of the effective aluminum- and cruelty-free formula that was my white whale. But now, slap me in Cabin 6 and call me Annabeth Chase, because I’m a dutiful daughter of Athena (Club). The first thing I noticed when I got my sample of this magic stuff in the mail was the sleek and pretty packaging that feels all Insta-worthy on my countertop. Then, the smell — I really don’t like perfume-y, overpowering scents, but this was so mild and beautiful and natural-smelling (I picked scent No. 2, a rose, sage, vanilla, lime and cedarwood blend). But most importantly, it heckin’ WORKED.

I will confess, and I know no one here will judge me, that I have skipped some shower days in quarantine with my family, and this empowered me to skip another. I’m not going anywhere and my parents love me unconditionally, okay??? But I also feel totally fresh with this stuff on. My pits stay noticeably dry and smelling A-OK pretty much all day, even if they were pretty stinky to begin with (is this TMI??). And it achieves all that with really just a swipe — no need to apply a ton. Between the pretty packaging, the scent, and the effectiveness, I actually look forward to putting on this plant-based, cruelty-free goodness in the morning (and therefore am less likely to forget). Try it out and have your pits thank me later!” —Katy Herman

“So I recently got a chance to test out this UV sterilizer, which is about the size of a breadbox. I wasn’t sure what to think at first because, well, everything a toddler touches gets dirty and needs a thorough cleaning. But here’s where it comes in handy. There are some toys that you can throw in the wash (but if its a favorite that’s being taken away, that might cause a meltdown). There are also some toys that get waterlogged and need to be carefully cleaned. And then there are times when you just sick of using another disinfecting wipe. So now you’ve got another option that doesn’t take long at all and will leave your child’s toys germ-free and ready to pick up brand-new germs.” —John Mihaly

It also comes with a three-pack of refills.

“I bought this because honestly when I think about the fact that I’m gonna have to remove my package labels and rip them to smithereens, I don’t even feel like ordering anything anymore! I knew we’ve put these rollers in posts before, so I decided to order one for myself. The ink is preinstalled (yay), so all I did was remove the ink cover and rolled right over the label info I wanted to hide, and BOOM, it was all covered up! My mom and I were pretty impressed, and honestly, I didn’t want to stop using it! I went through the house just looking for more things I could use this lil’ guy on. While it works amazingly well on most package labels and paper, it won’t work on super-glossy surfaces.” —Jasmin Suknanan

Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in two colors).

“I own and love this and can tell you that it’ll be the house- and bathrobe you never knew you needed. It’s the waist ties that NEVER come loose or fall down for me 😍. And guess what? The whole thing is made of 100% NeoSilk™ fabric which is faux silk made of recycled plastic bottles. Gotta love that sustainability, baby!” –Marquaysa Battle

Get it from Nuno for $95.

“I pump my cleanser onto this, add some water to my face, turn it on, and rub away all the dirt and grime from the day. I remember saying “Woah” out loud when I felt how soft my skin was after using this for the first time. Now I just take it for granted. Turns out, soft skin is a *very* fun thing to take for granted.” —Mallory Mower

Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in two colors).

“I’ve been quarantined with my parents, and like most people we were doing a lot of puzzles in the spring. This one was my fave. The brand, Mudpuppy, has so many whimsical and adorable designs and I was thrilled to find one in stock. It’s 500 pieces and labeled a “family” puzzle, so it was quick enough to do without being *too* easy. Just right and really relaxing, unlike some of the super frustrating puzzles we did. And there’s an OKAPI on it!!!” —Katy Herman

It’s sulfate and paraben free!

“I use this on my hair’s ends and WOW! It really works. It keeps my hair from poofing up and makes it feel super soft, especially when I’m blow-drying it. You just need a dime’s worth, so it lasts for a long time.” —Bek O’Connell

Get it from Amazon for $26.94 or at Sephora for $29 (available in two sizes).

“Hi, my name is Harper and I’m here to tell you about some socks that recently changed my life. I’m talking about Melerio copper-infused compression socks. I tried them on a whim when I was really sick over the summer, and boy am I glad I did. As soon as I put these babies on, I could immediately feel their power. They definitely compress — they are pretty tight and can take a sec to get on, but I promise it’s worth it! I am disabled, immune-compromised, and I struggle with daily asthma flare-ups, inflammation, and muscle aches. The very first time I put a pair of these on, I felt…so much better? I immediately asked my partner to try them too to see their reaction, and well, that pair is theirs now.

These socks improve my circulation, soothe my aches, and the compression element also helps me feel really calm and grounded (I sleep in these!). I’m extremely allergic to mold, and copper is mold-resistant, so the fact that these are copper-infused turned out to be a huge win-win for me. It’s worth noting I wore these socks while I was living in the desert, and they lasted through the extreme heat (109+ temps), and the many skate sessions, hikes, and washes I put them through. It was, and still is empowering to start my day with one positive thing I could do for my body to get a little relief — slap on a fresh pair of these socks! Did a pair of socks cure all of my woes? Absolutely not. But they did help me feel well enough to leave the house, get outside, and start my long journey to recovery.” —Harper Hendrickson

“My toddler is at the age where she’s eager to help with everything — including cooking. That’s why America’s Test Kitchen: My First Cookbook caught my eye when it came out in early March. I didn’t know it at the time, but the book would come in incredibly handy starting a few weeks later when quarantine kicked off.

There are a ton of kid- and family-centric cookbooks out there, but IMO, most of them don’t really nail it — especially if they’re aimed at much younger kids. Recipes are either overly complicated, gimmicky, or not actually something most toddlers would want to eat. But this cookbook avoids all of that. The recipes are all-purpose and written with smart, legitimately-doable tips and tricks built in. And each one is photographed in an eye-catching and step-by-step way — so toddler and kid cooks can follow along and help. It’s really well done. (And yes, the final results taste great!) Granted, most of these recipes don’t exactly reinvent the wheel — think: applesauce muffins, barbecue chicken, classic M&M cookies — but when your kid is just starting to learn the basics, you don’t always need to. TL;DR: Most kids’ cookbooks don’t deliver. This one does!” —Melissa Jameson

“I purchased this a few months ago and I AM OBSESSED. I was always fond of the ‘spritzing some perfume under your hair’ trick (aka the back of your neck), so it would last longer but this product has changed the game for me. A few quick spritzes of this on my hair since I’ve lightened it in color helps tame a bit of my frizz, while adding a heavenly scent that I would genuinely eat (but I won’t lol).” —Ali Faccenda

“I love this desk. Until quite recently, I’d been working either on the couch (which hurt my back, neck, and wrists), in my bed (which made me want to nap every five minutes), or at a tiny kitchen table (which was only large enough for my laptop). Now that I have this bad boy, I have room for my work laptop, a 27-inch monitor, and my ginormous 17-inch laptop, plus space for snacks, my water bottle, random chargers, and my office supplies. On top of that, I can easily adjust its height if I’m ever tired of sitting and need a new view. I cannot stress how much this desk has increased my productivity and made working from home…actually…enjoyable.” —Melanie Aman

Get it from Knoll for $695 (available in three sizes and three colors).

“I actually have a whole stack of these in my apartment at this very moment! Their unique look makes them seem like a personal choice, which I love.” —Mallory Mower

Promising review: “These bags are a great deal. I bought them with a gift I purchased. I always forget bags. These are very sturdy and will hold quite a bit ever for a smaller bag. I would say the bags are more small then medium. They also look very nice and I got lots of questions on where they were purchased.” —Amanda

“This monthly spice subscription has sparked a fire deep down in my cooking soul. The spice blend combinations are incredible, and each spice comes with a corresponding recipe. I just made this cauliflower curry and my life will never be the same. I want to cook anything and everything with these spices.” —Kayla Suazo
