Hilife Steamer ($24, originally $40)

Once you switch to the steamer life, you'll find yourself reaching for your iron and ironing board much less often. This one happens to be Amazon's bestselling garment steamer and an editor favorite as well. It has a 240 ml tank capacity, which means you'll get 15 minutes of steady steaming. It's easy to pack and can be used on everything from linen to silk. Our editor tested it out and especially loves it for hard-to-iron pieces like "sequined dresses and pearl-encrusted tops."

Editor quote: "I also like that it's lightweight, making it easy to hold and pack in your duffel bag or carry-on. You'll occasionally have to deal with leaks as the water boils, but the ease and speed of use make up for it in my book." — Shelcy Joseph, contributing editor, Fashion

Apple AirTag ($24, originally $29)

You really can't go wrong with adding an Apple AirTag to your shopping cart. The small tracker makes it possible to locate items big and small, be it your car keys that always go misplaced in your home, or your suitcase as it bounces from the plane to baggage claim.

Editor Quote: "I bought a four-pack because my family had four checked bags, and I named each one for the colored luggage tag on each bag, so I would know which was which. Using the Find My app that's installed on all iPhones, I was able to track our bags from check-in until takeoff, and again when we landed back in the states." — India Yaffe, former associate editor, Commerce

Hatch Restore Sound Machine ($130)

This trendy alarm clock offers a unique combination of features. Not only does it function as a sound machine, but it also simulates a gradual sunrise through its brightening light that gently rouses you from sleep for a more natural waking experience.

Editor Quote: "I set my alarm to go off automatically at 7:30 a.m. Monday through Friday, and sure enough, I've woken peacefully every day at that time. Hatch's sunrise alarm (which you can alter the color of) slowly rises as the sun would, and you can choose from a list of sounds to gently wake you. I've really enjoyed this feature for kick-starting my day, as it doesn't feel as intense as a typical alarm does." — Haley Lyndes, former assistant editor, Commerce

These noise-canceling headphones are practically famous on Amazon for multiple reasons: they have a comfortable fit and three listening modes to optimize your experience based on your surroundings and preferences.

Editor Quote: "ANC blocks out the external noise and clutter so you can tune out the world and immerse yourself in the sounds. Transparency mode offers a more natural listening experience and lets you be aware of your surroundings. It's been quite useful on the train or subway so I don't accidentally miss my stop. When I tested out the ANC mode, I was shocked at how well it blocks out the external hustle and bustle and hones in on the crystal-clear audio." — Anvita Reddy, assistant editor, Commerce

Coway Airmega AP-1512HH(W) True HEPA Purifier ($210, originally $230)

Whether you need a reprieve from seasonal allergies, wildfires, or city smog, this highly rated air purifier is a favorite among editors and Amazon shoppers. It boasts a 4.7 rating and has racked up more than 25,000 reviews. It's designed to clean the air in rooms up to 361 square feet, has a four-stage filtration system, and reduces up to 99.97 percent of particles in the air like pollen, pollutants, and other allergens. The LED lights alert you to the air quality and the lifespan of your filter. The eco setting means it also shuts down after no pollution is detected for 30 minutes. Our editor tested it out and was happily surprised by how quiet but effective it is.

Editor quote: "The first thing I noticed was that it was quieter than other ones I've owned (though the faster you speed it up, the louder it can become), and it alters its speed based on what it detects in the air. So if I spray texturizer on my hair, the purifier uses partical-detecting technology to determine that the air has changed and that it needs to crank up the intensity." — Rebecca Brown, former contributing editor

It has a button that allows it to rotate from its blow-dryer shape back into a styling wand, and from there you can use one of its attachments to get your desired result." — HL
