Of the many purchases our team has made lately, you’ll find a few that are key for beating the summer heat, such as a cold brew maker that delivers perfectly smooth iced coffee to a cozy pajama set ideal for warm nights. You’ll also find beach-ready picks like swim goggles that your kids will actually keep on, and a handy mist spray bottle that you can stash in your diaper bag. But that’s not all — read on for the full list of our June-favorite editors’ picks.
(Psst: You can also see what What to Expect moms have been adding to their carts, too, here. You’ll find even more summer favorites for families and expecting moms!)
An ultra-comfy summer PJ set
“One of my favorite ways to treat myself is matching pajama sets, and I realized when the weather warmed up that I didn't have any summer ones that fit. I did a quick Amazon search and found these! The fabric is lightweight and super soft, and the fit is true to size and really comfortable. And, most importantly, they have pockets.” — Stephanie Fisher, Senior Director, Multi-Platform Content Strategy
A nourishing cream that smells like summer
“I've been a post-shower, head-to-toe moisturizer for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I've tried countless body lotions but usually stick with the affordable, no-frills ones like Vaseline or Aveeno. But after hearing all the buzz about Sol De Janeiro's cheekily named Bum Bum Cream (and feeling a bit flirty and fun during my pregnant summer), I finally gave in and bought it. Although many people rave about it as a stretch-mark minimizer, I was more interested in its hydrating payoff and subtly beachy smell — and it did NOT disappoint. Because I'm trying to avoid dousing myself in perfume while pregnant, I dab this cream on my arms, neck and bump before heading out for the day. A little goes a long way (which is great because it's not cheap), leaving my skin feeling luxuriously soft with a hint of vanilla scent.” — Elizabeth Buxton, Commerce Content Director
Comfy, stylish clogs for dressing up or down
“I’m at the point in my pregnancy where I can’t bend down and put on sneakers or sandals with straps anymore. I found these slip-on clogs that I love because I can easily put them on without needing to bend down. I also like that they look a bit dressed up, yet are comfortable and sturdy from the block heel.” — Karla Martin, Senior Photo Manager
Comfortable kids’ swim goggles
“We have tried a bunch of different sets of goggles for my 5 year old, and he complains about all of them being too tight and tugging at his hair. These are the only goggles that he has not complained about! They are so much easier to put on my son and tighten to the right length, without tugging on his hair. The fabric strap is so much more comfortable! Plus, he loves the shark design.” — Shelley Gingrich, Executive Director, Brand Solutions
An everyday tinted lip balm
“I’ve been going makeup free long before it was a trend. But lately I’ve started wearing a little color on my lip to not only brighten my face, but to make me feel a little more put together on days where I may not have time to shower or style my hair. Covergirl’s tinted lip balm has a subtle color, so it’s not a drastic shift from my usual appearance. And unlike other products that dried out my lips, this keeps them moisturized thanks to the hyaluronic acid and pomegranate oil.” — Leah Rocketto, Associate Commerce Director
A chic "cool mom" jumpsuit
"I’m obsessed with my pistola Grover romper!! At first I thought it would make me feel/look like a plumber, but it actually makes me feel like a cool mom when I wear it. I was worried it’d be annoying to get on and off, but it’s pretty simple. I can dress it up with heels or fun jewelry or dress it down with tennis shoes! Also, you get a discount when you sign up for their emails!" — Monica Milstein, VP of Marketing
A toiletry bag that can fit everything (and more)
“I have a lot of trips coming up, and need to upgrade my now discarded toiletry bag. I saw this option from BAGSMART had more than 46,000 five-star reviews, and I can see why it has earned each of them. It has four pockets, with the two larger ones having elastic straps to hold bottles upright. And, because they’re transparent, you can easily see and grab what you need. No more digging around! At roughly 12 x 9 inches, it fits perfectly into any suitcase (even carry ons) without taking up too much real estate. Not to mention it lays flat, so you can easily pack around it or on top of it. ” — Leah Rocketto, Associate Commerce Director
A comfy summer jumpsuit
“I rarely buy clothes on Amazon, but I saw this jumpsuit while updating our Amazon weekly deals storefront and had to have it. I already know I’m going to be wearing it all summer because I washed and put it on immediately after it arrived. It’s comfortable and lightweight, yet the material is surprisingly good quality (it’s made of 100% cotton, which was a big selling point for me). But what pleased me the most is that the arm holes are big enough that they’re comfy and roomy, yet not overly huge that you can only wear long shirts with it to avoid showing skin. I also adore the wide legs and that it’s a piece I can easily dress up or down. Tons of reviewers claim it’s maternity-friendly, too, so expecting moms can also add it to their carts!” — Erin Cavoto, Associate Commerce Editor
A depiller that also works on pet hair
“I bought this lint brush somewhat impulsively to help remove dog hair from different surfaces in our home and also see if it could bring some old sweaters/knitwear back to life. To be honest, I didn't expect it to work that well, but the results really surprised me. It did an amazing job at picking up all of the hair on my dog's bed (which I've also tried machine washing, lint rolling and brushing to no avail) and refreshed a favorite pair of knit lounge pants. I also like that it's battery-free because I never have the right batteries for anything.” — Caroline Picard, Senior Health Editor
A fun way for kids to apply their own sunscreen
“After seeing countless TikToks about this sunscreen applicator, I decided to try it on my wriggly daughter. I’m happy to report it actually makes applying sunscreen easier. In fact, my 2-year-old has started insisting I give it to her so she can apply the sunscreen herself. (Don’t worry. I always give her a once-over.) I also love that it’s super small and can easily fit into a diaper bag. This means you can buy larger bottles of sunscreen without having to carry them around.” — Leah Rocketto, Associate Commerce Director
A diaper bag essential for hot days
“This mist spray bottle is great for the summer! It’s cheap, small and easy to put into the diaper bag to have handy for really hot days. I use it in addition to a stroller fan to keep my kids (and myself) cool on hotter days. I had to buy a second one because my almost 3-year-old daughter is obsessed and wants to just spray herself and her baby sister all day long.” — Monica Milstein, VP of Marketing
A splurgy crib that’s incredibly versatile
“I’m 30 weeks pregnant and my husband and I have been researching tons of cribs, but ultimately fell in love with Nestig's design. We also love that the crib converts from a mini crib into a full size crib and later, a toddler bed. We think the price is great for a multi-year use versus if we were to buy a crib from Pottery Barn or similar. It also has wheels, so we can wheel the crib from our baby's room to our room.” — Karla Martin, Senior Photo Manager
A tool for the speediest dinner prep
“This veggie chopper was an impulse purchase after feeling overwhelmed with meal prep. And it has been a lifesaver! It works surprisingly well, though you need to push a bit harder with certain items. But overall, not bad for $20!” — Lisafe Carreon, Sr. Product Manager
An adjustable desk light for Zoom meetings
“I recently moved my home office and my new space isn't as bright as my old one. I needed some form of lighting, especially for video meetings. I love that the intensity and temperature of this light are both adjustable, so I can modify it depending on what I need. The angle of the strip, as well as where it points, are all customizable as well. You can also connect it to your computer so you can easily change the settings.” — Karla Martin, Senior Photo Manager
An easy way to make delicious cold brew
“Now that summer is in full swing, I’ve officially switched from hot to iced coffees. Not only is this OXO cold brew maker a breeze to use, but it’s also ingeniously designed (like all OXO products, honestly). The carafe top doubles as a cup to measure the coffee concentrate into your cup, and the entire device stacks neatly together so it doesn’t take up a ton of storage space. It brews overnight, and you’re left with about two weeks worth of coffee. If you want an even more compact option, they have that too at a slightly lower price.” — Erin Cavoto, Associate Commerce Editor
