When PureWow editors aren't scoping out the top shows and movies to watch, whipping up the best breakfast recipes or scouring the internet for can't-miss sales, we're testing products. Yep, on our quest to always find you the best of the best, we spend time testing *hundreds* of products every year to find out what's worth it (and what's not). And while I could go on for days about some of the faves I've found this year alone, these 12 editor-tested items are standouts across categories.

Want to know which buzzy products are *really* worth buying? Sign up for our shopping newsletter to uncover our favorite finds.
