    40 Cool Products That'll Make You Wish You Had A Time Machine So You Could Buy 'Em Earlier

    TBH, I'm just surprised these genius products haven't gone viral on TikTok yet.

    1. magnetic soap dispenser you can secure to your wall with 3M adhesive tape (which means no drilling) to hold your soap. This makes it super easy to grab and also doesn't leave a mess of caked-on soap scum in the dish that's basically impossible to clean.

    Promising review: "This works well — stronger magnet than others I've had. TIP! Some reviewers said they find it hard to adhere the metal disk to soap, but here's the trick: soak the soap in a low dish of water for 10–15 minutes. Then, flip it over, and on that softened side, slowly push in the metal. Let the soap harden again (like overnight) before hanging it from the holder. Works every time :)" —AmznSFgal

    Get it from Amazon for $5.44.

    2. "cat dancer" toy that for less than $2 will bring both you and you cat a whole lot of joy as they jump and chase the toy around the room. Just imagine the views you'd get when you're the one to bring it to TikTok.

    Promising review: "I have a whole room filled with cat toys that my cat is not interested in. It's funny how the least expensive cat toy I have makes him go crazy. He plays with this until he's panting like a dog and I have never seen him jump so high. I'm certain this toy will help him lose his belly. He loves it! I highly recommend it!" —Kwoo

    Get it from Amazon for $1.73.

    3. An Acure brightening facial scrub – it basically works like magic to remove acne scars and give your skin a refresh. 

    Promising review: "I am in LOVE with this facial scrub. I’ve had this for almost two weeks now, and I love the way my skin is glowing! I have sensitive skin, so I have to really be careful with the products I choose. Even after one use, you start to see a difference. It moisturizes, exfoliates, and leaves your skin smooth. I didn’t even need to apply a moisturizer afterwards! Definitely a must-have!" —Mizza C.

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

    4. A Dole-whip scented candle for all the Disney fans out there who dream about the delicious treat as soon as they leave the park. Not only do reviewers swear this candle smells EXACTLY like a Dole whip, but it also looks like it, too.

    Relive the Magic at Home / Etsy

    Relive the Magic at Home is a family-run small biz started by a mother and daughter to bring their "Happy Place" (aka Disney) home with them. They offer a selection of candles inspired by Disney treats, magic, and princesses, as well as stickers and more. 

    Promising review: "I am a massive Disney person, but my husband? Not as much. However, he will not leave Disneyland without a Dole whip/Dole whip float. So, naturally, this was a perfect stocking stuffer. Oh. My. God. If you’re debating buying this, stop and just buy it! It was packaged safely AND sustainably, which is a big A+ from me. The product is beyond expectations! The moment I opened the box, I got hit in the face with Dole whip perfection. The smell is so spot on my 5- and 6-year-old knew it was the 'ice cream from Disneyland.' I just loved the gorgeous rainbow bow. I don’t want to take it off because it’s so cute. Anyway. This shop is amazing and so is this candle!" —Ain't That Belle

    Get it from Relive the Magic at Home on Etsy for $15.99+ (available in two sizes). 

    5. A detangling leave-in conditioner parents swear by to tame frizz, reduce breakage, and hydrate curls, all while avoiding a meltdown of epic proportions as they try to brush their child's hair.

    Promising review: "I love this stuff so much!! My son has tight ringlet Victorian style curls naturally and it was getting frizzy and broken so I found this spray and his hair is the healthiest it’s ever been! I spray some in and put his hair in a silk cap and it is so shiny and soft and his curls have all recovered and the smell is amazing! I’ve recommended it to everyone in my family and I started using it too because it works better than my adult leave-in!" —Amber

    Get it from Amazon for $8.39 (also available in a two-pack).

    6. burger holder, which may seem a bit strange, but it's actually super genius. It will keep all the toppings in your burger as you eat, which means they won't spill out the back or even end up on your shirt. You'll be bringing this to every bbq this summer to show off how cool it is.

    Plus, it's great for times plates aren't available (road trips, etc.), and it's dishwasher safe!

    Promising review: "I have neuropathy, and everything I pick up to eat turns into a squashed mess, so as soon as I saw this I ordered it. First hamburger I've eaten without it turning into a mess in years. I loaded up the burger with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cheese, and mayo, and every bite was delicious!! I LOVE IT!!!!!" —Paul Roup

    Get it from Amazon for $9.95.

    7. The Ring Thing — a waterproof clip-on holder you can place your rings in at any time to keep them safe, protected, and close to you.

    Ring Thing Design is a woman-owned small biz dedicated to creating stylish and functional products. A portion of each sale for this product is donated to nonprofits working to stop human trafficking. 

    Promising review: "I was unsure about this purchase. I didn’t think I would use it to its full potential, but man oh man was I wrong. I use it everyday. It’s where I storage my engagement ring. While at work is put it in the Ring Thing and after I am free to pop it back on. It has given me the power to shut my fiancé up when I 'forget' my ring. I NEVER FORGET NOW! It’s always with me. This is money well spent. Don’t sleep on getting yours." —Liliana

    Get it from Ring Thing Designs on Etsy for $16.96 (available in seven colors). 

    8. A bottle of Drop It made to remove the sulfates and tannins from your glass of pinot noir, meaning you can enjoy a glass (or two) knowing you won't wake up with a wicked headache the next morning.

    The drop it bottle in editor's hand
    Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

    It's more cost-effective and environmentally friendly than other competitors because one bottle can be used up to 55 times. To use, add one to two drops in each glass of white one, two to three for each glass of red, or seven to nine to a whole bottle. Swirl it for 20 seconds after you put it in, and the glass is ready to drink. 

    Promising review: "I really was skeptical when I bought it. I always have headaches when I drink red wine. 🍷 From the moment I started using these drops I noticed that I had no headaches at all when I woke up! It’s a must-have, and I told all my friends about it, great gift idea! You won’t be sorry." —VRed

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

    9. A travel perfume atomizer you can place directly on your favorite perfume to pump up to 60 sprays into. This means you can take your favorite scent with you when you travel without having to buy a pricey travel size. 🙌

    Promising review: "I took this atomizer on a two week vacation to Europe. It never leaked!!! Now I can bring my favorite perfume anywhere." —Lorraine

    Get it from The Grommet for $15.95 (available in five colors) or from Amazon for $9.49+ (available in two colors). 

    10. A pack of FryAway Waste Cooking Oil Solidifier Powder ideal for anyone who struggles with how to dispose of cooking oil (because you should never pour it down the drain). Just add this to the pan after you're done cooking, and it will solidify up to 8 cups of oil. Then you can easily scoop it out and throw it right in the trash. Genius!

    A customer review photo of the pack of Fry Away for pan frying
    gif of reviewer using a spoon to remove the oil from a pan

    Promising review: "Quite impressive. After making some fries, we added a packet to the hot oil and stirred a few times. Maybe 10 minutes later, we checked the pan, and the oil had solidified. Using a wood spoon, we easily removed the solid and put it in the trash. I will always make sure to keep a pack of FryAway in our pantry. Highly recommended." —Ryan O.

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three sizes).

    11. A flip top you can attach to your bottles to make sure you get EVERY. LAST. DROP. Hey, if you shelled out a little too much money for the "AMAZING" shampoo, you should do whatever you can to use the whole bottle. 

    Promising review: "No more wasting product. I love these so much I had to get the six-pack so I can use them around the house for everything. I love that once the bottle is done, you just clean this lid and put it on something else. I love that the bottles don’t fall while the product is slowly dripping inside the bottle, and if you use the stoppers, it doesn’t leak. The only thing is I wish it came with a lot more stoppers other than that. This is a must-have in your house." —Em

    Get a six-pack from Amazon for $25.

    12. A pair of fuzzy slippers with mops on the bottom to keep your feet warm and your floors clean, which is something I never thought I'd type but, like, good for them (and you!). We love a multipurpose product that gets things done while you go about your business in your home.

    Promising Review: "I buy mopping slippers. Yup, that's right. This isn't my first pair... I have a 2-year-old and they're great for mopping up little splashes and drops of water from doing dishes and the extra padding is nice. No paper towels wasted, and it's immediate. Plus, these are cute. You have to have a sense of whimsy [fun] for this functional novelty item. My last pair did not have this detachable mopping bottom. I enjoy washing the top and bottom parts as I think it's cleaner, but it's a nice feature." —G. Kim

    Get them from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in multiple colors, adult sizes, and kid sizes).

    13. A six-port outlet designed to swivel to the sides so you can discretely plug in all your electronics *and* put your sofa right up to the wall. I'm pretty sure this is what Hannah Montana was referring to when she sang, "You get the best of both worlds..." (Or actually what a grown-up Hannah Montana would be singing about.)

    Amazon

    This even has two USB ports. Bless.

    Promising review: "Where has this thing has been my whole life...?! I've struggled with plugging and unplugging my phone charger and lamp behind my bed for the longest time. My poor husband didn't even get an outlet — he had to charge his phone across the bedroom. This device has been super convenient because now he and I can simply plug our charging cables into the usb outlets along the top of the plug. This completely eliminates having to bother plugging the block up at all. Then, the outlets themselves twist to the sides instead of straight out like a normal outlet. I've got a whole side dedicated for what I need plugged in — a lamp and now a white noise machine. The other side twists to the right, so my husband can plug in whatever he needs. No more cables getting smooshed and bent...no more struggling to plug something in behind the bed. Well done and thanks for making such a smart product! Very convenient." —Amazonaholic

    Get it from Amazon for $18.89.

    14. Some Miracle-Gro spikes here to make everyone think you're the best plant parent around when in reality you can't remember the last time you watered your plant babies. Was it last Wednesday? No, maybe Tuesday? What are days anymore??? These discreet sticks go into the dirt of your plant and feed them micronutrients for up to two months, leaving them looking beautiful and adding life to your home.

    Promising review: "I have several houseplants that had stopped flowering, so I put a few of these spikes in the pot (there are directions on the back of package for quantity), and approximately a month after using these spikes, my peace lily had three flowers on it, and my African violet plants all got several blooms on them! This worked wonders for my plants that don't flower also! I noticed that my ivy and cactus plants started growing faster, and they became more green and healthy looking. I am very happy with this product, and I will buy it again." —Elizabeth

    Get a 24-pack from Amazon for $2.79 (also available in a 48-pack and in multiple pack sizes).

    15. A pomegranate de-seeder so you never have to spend the extra money to just buy the seeds because you have no idea how to get them out on your own. It's okay — I get it. With this tool, just cut the pomegranate in half, place it on top of the de-seeder, and tap it to get all the seeds out.

    Crystalia

    Seriously, where has this been my whole life?!? I've spent SO much money buying pomegranate seeds. Plus, this also comes with another attachment for juicing lemons and other citrus!

    Promising review: "This is my favorite purchase of the year. Didn’t know that deseeding a pomegranate could be so easy! Bye-bye red pomegranate stains on my clothes." —Marry Howard

    Get it from Crystalia for $17.99 (available in two colors).

    16. The Elizavecca Milky Piggy carbonated bubble clay mask that bubbles after you put it on your face. While it works to reduce blackheads, you can entertain yourself by filming a video of it that's bound to go viral on TikTok. I mean just look at how much enjoyment it will bring the internet (and you)!

    It has over 10,000 (!!!!) 5-star ratings and comes with an application spatula.

    Promising review: "Wow! I purchased this on a whim after seeing one of my favorite YouTubers try it out. I didn't expect a lot from it. I tried it out and was shocked!!! The mask was simple (and fun) to use. I wasn't sure I felt a lot happening while it was on, but it was pretty cool how the bubbles started to grow off of my face. Upon inspection after using this mask I was completely amazed. My face felt cleaner than it has in a very long time AND my pores looked amazing! I don't remember a time when I felt like my pores looked great before using this mask. I would highly recommend this mask to anyone. It's also so much cheaper than the GlamGlow ones I have been using (and didn't see near these results from)." —K. Textor

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in a two- or three-pack).

    17. A set of magnetic locks for anyone who needs to baby proof their home but doesn't want it to scream "EVERYTHING IS BABY-PROOFED." These hidden locks are actually installed using tape (to not damage the wood) and make it so your little one can't open the drawer or cabinet.

    reviewer's video showing them opening the drawer with a magnetic key

    The set comes with 12 locks that have strong 3M double-sided tape on the back and two keys.

    Promising review: "We have a toddler and have moved several times since she started getting into things. Every time I'm stuck installing child locks that require hardware or squeezing fingers into tight spots to operate. These are a huge improvement on every front. Install in moments, adhere wonderfully, and the magnet key is a game changer. Not to mention, the ability to disable the lock when you know you're going to be in and out of the cabinet for a bit. Can't recommend enough."Jared

    Get a set from Amazon for $33.99.

    18. A Bluetooth white noise machine specifically designed with a fan that doesn't blow unwanted air. Instead, it spins to generate white noise that doesn't loop and still drowns out all the noise around you. Plus, it's portable so you can take it with you on vacations or any time you're not sleeping in your own bed.

    Get it from The Grommet for $99.95 or from Amazon for $99.99 (available in two colors). 

    19. A StirMate automatic pot stirrer that'll basically be your sous chef when you don't have any help in the kitchen. It stirs whatever is in your pot while you focus on the next steps in your recipe.

    The device self-adjusts to fit pots from 6–12 inches in diameter and 3–9 inches in depth. The motor will stir for up to 13 hours per charge and then only takes 30 minutes to recharge.

    Promising review: "I love this device. It will slave over the stove stirring your soups, sauces, and candies all day without a complaint or tiring. Now I cook things that I enjoyed serving and eating but hated all that stirring. No more burnt pots and ruined recipes due to under-stirring. It’s a little costly, but once you use it, you will never be without it. I may even buy another one to handle all of my stirring. This would also make a perfect gift." —Steve Bruss

    Get it from Amazon for $64.85.

    20. A magnetic cat AirPod holder just purrrfect for setting on your desk to make sure you always know where your headphones are when you get up to go to the bathroom. Plus, it will bring you so much joy as you sit through yet another meeting that should have been an email.

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in white or black and also in a pack of five).

    21. A knife specifically designed to make a clean cut through tomatoes so you don't have the juice squirting out everywhere, making a mess in your kitchen. You'll be surprised just how much of a difference this makes when crafting your delicious salad for lunch.

    Promising review: "I love this knife! I stumbled upon a description when I was shopping for a sushi knife. It was so cheap, I decided to take a chance. Wow. It is such a great little knife. Yes, it works perfectly on soft tomatoes. But, to be honest, I use it for many other fruits and vegetables. It is amazingly sharp, the serrated edge is very effective, and it has a great feel in my hand." —Jane S.

    Get it from Amazon for $11.20.

    22. Gold Eye Treatments masks packed with collagen to reduce under eye bags and help soften fine lines, while also making you feel as royal as the characters in The Crown. Now if only you had staff to bring you breakfast in bed while you wear these...

    Jasmin Sandal/BuzzFeed

    BuzzFeed Shopping writer Jasmin Sandal says: "I decided to put these golden gems to the test after coming off of a red-eye flight with practically no sleep. After cooling them off in the fridge (which is what was suggested on the packet), I applied them to my purple-y, puffy eyes, and...w-o-w. Not only did I feel like I was receiving some kind of royal treatment (because, gold), but after 20 minutes, my under eyes appeared brighter and any fine lines that were once lingering had vanished! After wearing these I didn't feel compelled to apply concealer either, which is usually my go-to to disguise dark circles — and I even felt confident enough to go bare-faced for the rest of the day. Now, I find that I integrate these into my routine anytime I want to let my skin breathe free of makeup."

    Get a pack of 15 from Amazon for $14.95.

    23. A pound of cereal marshmallows, because you're an adult with adult money, so it's only appropriate that you reward your inner child and purchase something you've always wanted — a bag full of delicious marshmallows. No need to pretend to eat the rest of the Lucky Charms when you only bought the box for the marshmallows.  

    Promising review: "Buying these charms was one of the best decisions of my life. The bag is twice the size of my head. The marshmallows are aesthetically pleasing and delicious. It's everything I ever wanted in a snack." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $11.29.

    24. A pair of no-drip cleansing cuffs here to revolutionize the way you wash your face. They're easy to slip on and will catch all the water and soap before it makes its way to your clothes as you give your face the scrub it deserves.

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Genevieve Scarano says: "My sweatshirt sleeves ALWAYS get wet when I wash my face. It's really tricky to keep them dry because I use creamy cleansers that require a little more rinsing than other products. I decided to try these cozy cuffs, and they make such a difference in my skincare routine. They protect my sleeves from getting drenched and make self-care time a little more fun. They're also machine washable!"

    25. A plug-in color-changing mushroom light just perfect for adding a touch of cottagecore to your bedroom. *And* it will light the way when you wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. We love a product that puts the fun in functional.

    Promising review: "I LOVE this night-light. It's in my bathroom and is a lovely addition. It turns off the second the lights go on which is nice that I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it on. Super cute and the little itty-bitty lighting element does a good job lighting, just enough so I don't have to turn the main lights on in the middle of the night." —1Thand

    Get it from Amazon for $5.97

    26. NodPod — a weighted blanket–sleep mask hybrid that blocks 100% of the light and gives your head some comforting pressure. And as an added bonus, one side is hot and the other side is cool, so you can pick your temperature preference!

    Nodpod is a woman-founded small business that specializes in these sleep masks. 

    Promising review: "There's something about placing this weighted thing on my eyes when I'm tossing and turning that lulls me back to sleep. The shape of it is a bit weird — it's not a typical eye mask, it's much bulkier and doesn't fasten on in the same way — but once you get beyond that, this can really be a beautiful thing. I keep it on my bedside table and use it if I wake up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep (which happens often) or once the sun rises, and I want to sleep in a little more. If you have sleep issues, I'd recommend trying this novel product." —Veronicam

    Get it from Amazon for $34 (available in seven colors).

    27. A reusable weighted bottle cleaner guaranteed to get your water bottles cleaner than a regular sponge and your human hands can. Simply put this in the bottle with some soapy water, and shake it up to get ALLL the gunk out. *Adding a little dance while you shake is optional.*

    28. "Purse Gummy," which you stick to the strap of your bag so that dang thing doesn't slip off your shoulder as you go about your day. It's a small thing that can be really annoying when you're out running errands and bend down to tie your shoe. UGH!

    Promising review: "I recently bought a high-quality leather shoulder strap handbag and was having problems with it sliding off my shoulder, since the leather strap was fairly smooth. So I went online and searched to see if there were any products out there that would solve this issue...and I found the Purse Gummy! It works beautifully! No more struggling with a slipping strap. It is hardly noticeable on the strap since it is on the underside, but I wouldn't mind it if was seen because it works so well." —D. Dillon

    Promising review: "I have a pillow-top and pillow-bottom queen-sized bed that is a little too small for king sheets, and with queen sheets, I have battled to keep the sheets from popping off. I have tried everything! I was about to try to customize some king sheets because it was so frustrating. Then I saw this. It works. I was shocked. My sheets have not popped off once. I ordered this in February and it is May now — and they have not popped off once! They used to pop off EVERY...SINGLE...NIGHT. To say this is life changing is not an exaggeration. Such a relief to be able to sleep through the night without ending up in rumpled sheets." —TinkerbellAPixie

This means you don't have to spend any time digging through your bag looking for your favorite highlighter you *know* you packed but can't seem to find in the mess of the rest of your makeup. When it's time to leave, just cinch up the bag, throw it in your suitcase, and you can be on your way.

    Promising review: "I was tired of fumbling around in my cosmetics case and saw this. I was skeptical, but...WOW! On my recent two-week trip to Europe, with constant laying out and packing up, this item was wonderful. I could find what I wanted quickly, right away. Packing up was just a matter of pulling the drawstring. At first I wasn’t sure about changing to this bag, but now I could not do without it." —Mojosharkey

    Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in three sizes and 26 colors and patterns).

    Promising review: "My pup, Toby, is a 2.5 year old cavalier who loves bubbles. After catching them, he’d often give us an 'ewww' look, as they tasted like soap. Until these. He LOVES these bubbles and seems to love the taste of them, too! I will gladly buy these again and continue letting him feed his bubble-obsession in a tasty way! In addition, when I needed help with my order, Ash was so kind and gave me the help I needed! Highly recommend this shop!" —Elizabeth

    33. A sand-free beach blanket designed so that sand rolls right off it. You can pack it up without worrying you'll find sand covering everything else in your bag weeks later.

    Promising review: "This was amazing. Very easy to store. It can push right down into the bottom of your pack or you can stuff it into its own pocket. I took this to the beach four days in a row. It got sand and rain on it, but the only thing that didn’t easily brush off was bbq sauce. There were also pockets to hide things in. We stuffed our keys and phones in there when no one was looking." —Ti'Ki

    34. A clip-on strainer brilliantly designed to fit in any size pot or pan, so you can drain water, grease, or any other liquid without using a bulky (and hard to clean) colander.

    I recently picked one of these up, and it is such a game changer. I have hated using a colander so much. It's so bulky, hard to use, and takes SO much time to clean. This solves all those problems. I've clipped it on various pots and pans, and it's fit every single one. It makes it ridiculously easy to strain the water out of the pasta and even the excess fat from ground beef. I'm throwing my old colander away because it will never be used now that I have this genius tool!

    Promising review: "Love, love, love this pasta strainer!!! My husband and I hate cleaning out the strainer, so I ordered this to make life easier. OMG, does it make life easier!!! If this ever breaks, I’ll be ordering another! It’s very sturdy and easy to use. Absolutely love it!" —ShylohsRedShadow

    35. A split bedding set here to save your relationship from another night of fighting over the covers. The blanket is split down the middle but still attached at the end, so you both stay comfortable (and warm) all night, but it's still easy to make the bed in the morning.

    Promising review: "My husband and I love this blanket. We are always pulling the blankets back and forth during the night and usually I end up freezing. This split blanket solved our problem! I also love the blanket isn't split at the bottom making it easy to make the bed." —KYmom

    Get the blanket from Uncommon Goods for $85+ (available in two sizes and two colors; also available in a set containing a fitted and a flat sheet and pillowcases for $125).

    36. A Luminoodle, which is a LED lighting strip you place around the back of your TV. It will brighten up the whole viewing experience by creating a sharper image, increasing color contrast, *and* reducing eye strain.

    This can be great, especially if you're staring at the TV for hours on end. It has 15 color and 10 brightness levels, plus three fade modes.

    Promising reviews: "Don’t mess around with the other lights with complicated remotes and colors, just get a warm 6500 white, and plug it in. Easy. Some people say one strip across the back is fine... maybe if you have a small tv, if you have 55” or bigger get one that is long enough for at least three sides. This light is a serious game changer, reduces eye stress, makes the contrast and blacks appear better, and the wow factor when people see it. You don’t have to tell anyone it was only $10!! Again don’t waste money on colors and another remote to clutter your room, spend it on length. And get this light!!" —kristian suson

    37. A microfiber window blind cleaner designed with three blades that clean the top and bottom of two blinds at once. It'll pick up all the dust you hadn't really realized had been casually sitting in your home.

    The cleaner also comes with five microfiber duster clothes.

    Promising review: "Where has this blind cleaner been for the past 50 years???? I have struggled to keep my blinds clean for so many years and happily found this item. It WORKS!!! And I love that it comes with extra sleeves, and the sleeves are machine washable. The handle is plastic, but I feel confident it won't break any time soon." —marionvgt

    38. A no-tangle dual dog leash for anyone who spends more time untangling their dogs leashes than actually getting a walk in. The leash will keep both dogs happy, no matter their size difference. 

    Plus, you also get a poop bag dispenser and training clicker.

    Promising review: "This leash is FANTASTIC! I have a 70 lb. dog and a 26 lb. dog, and they can now walk together without problem. The stretchy part of the leash makes a huge difference in absorbing the shock from sudden moves. The handle part is quite comfortable. This leash has made walking the dogs so much easier. I was a little worried about how it would work with a big dog and a medium dog on the same leash, but it's been great." —CWilli00

    Get it from Amazon for $14.98+ (available in two sizes and eight colors).

    39. A Thaw Claw to defrost meat up to seven times faster. All you have to do is suction it to your sink, fill the sink with water, and then put the frozen food under the claw. It will be defrosted in no time — and you'll never have to remember to take the meat out of the fridge in the morning again.

    Promising review: "A package of frozen meat would have taken at least two days to thaw in the fridge. I used this for a 2-pound package a couple of days ago, and the meat was thawed within 90 minutes. One of the most practical kitchen gadgets I own." —Llda Schellhase

    Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in four colors).
