32 Useful Impulse Buys You Probably Won’t Regret

Promising review: “I wear these around the house, but in a pinch I could wear them outside the home due to the light sole. More than a sock, but less than a shoe. The color is neon bright and fun. I find them roomy. If you have problems with swelling, these would be comfortable and easy to get on.” —Crocs Customer

Promising review: “I have a large collection of rare and unavailable vinyl records that would cost me a large fortune to buy again in different media if available. As soon as I saw this mobile player, I was excited that it had Bluetooth and USB. I spent the last few weeks copying all my records to my computer and now they are safe forever. WOW! Not only it was so easy, but the dubbing quality is amazing. On top of all that I can still just listen to my vinyl records on this player anywhere and the sound production is fantastic. One of the best purchases I made.” —sammy halaby

I pat dry with a towel and stay moisturized all day.” —Rachelle A

I have had two of these pillows for a few months, and I sleep more comfortably now than I ever have!

They even come with soft, washable covers that only add to the luxe plushiness of my new sleeping experience.

Promising review: “So, it’s been about two years now, and I still love this pillow! It does get worn down a bit, but a good wash and fluff dry seems to do the trick! As I’m writing this I’m thinking I need to wash and dry to get some fluffiness back…but I’m laying in bed being lazy, so maybe I’ll just buy another one! 😂😂” —marinewife

Check out our review of the Instant Pot Air Fryer!

Promising review: “After listening to dozens of clients and friends talk about their air fryers, I decided it was time to bite the bullet so to speak. I LOVE LOVE LOVE ❤️ IT! Everything seems to taste better cooked in an air fryer. Even salmon is more moist and flavorful. Plus, food cooks more quickly than with a traditional oven or fryer methods. The Vortex is large, so it’s easy to cook two or more types of food at the same time. Do it… you won’t regret it! Salmon and fries for two all cooked together.” —Roseanne Heideman

Promising review: “I will admit that I had my doubts about the idea of a ‘new Polaroid,’ but this camera is awesome. The pictures are the same ‘shockingly good for instant’ quality I remember. For real! I found an old Polaroid photo from the 1980s and put it next to a new one I took this weekend, and the only visible difference was that the person in both photos was about 30 years older.” —Nicole

My allergies were bothering me so badly that I could barely breathe in my own apartment, especially with pollen season. After a week of using this in my bedroom, I can tell you that it’s been a huge difference. I’ve been able to breathe which has made it much easier to sleep.” —JRRInBoston

Promising review: “This does wonders for my hair and makes brushing so much easier. I have very fine hair, but tons and tons of it, which makes brushing difficult at times as it tangles so easily. This brush really helps with that and keeps me from having to re-brush my hair every couple hours. It also doesn’t pull the natural waves out of my hair, like so many other brushes did. So my hair is wavy and untangled within a couple of minutes. The ergonomic hold took a little getting used to, but it’s much more comfortable than the usual oval paddle end of most brushes. It gives you more control, which makes it easier.” —L
