Promising review: "I was hesitant because of the price point, but I am glad I got these sneakers! They are comfortable and yet classy. They are also a little different, so they stand out in a beautiful way. I am glad that I took a chance and purchased them. Go for it; you will enjoy them. Now order a pair." —Ann D.

Honestly, more warm socks are on my Christmas list every year. And these look extra cozy.
Promising review: "I love them. I waited to rate them until after I had washed a pair. There was very little shrinkage, and I absolutely love the patterns and colors. They would make really great stocking stuffers, though I am not willing to share." —ET

Promising review: "I was absolutely shocked at the sound this small speaker punches! It was a gift for my son, and he was so happy. These days you have no clue what a teenager would like, but he loves it! It's definitely a great buy. We are thinking about buying a couple more." —BEACHES82
Get it from Amazon for $33 (available in four colors).
This 12.5 oz cup chills all beverages except carbonated ones. You fill it with water and put it in the freezer for 12 hours before using it. Plus, it's dishwasher safe!
Promising review: "I bought this item for my husband as a Father's Day gift. He is a coffee 'freak' and loves espresso, though in the hot summer he enjoys cold coffee in the evenings after work. That usually involved making it in the morning and putting in the fridge. But this HyperChiller changed everything! We LOVE it! It really takes no more than 90 seconds to get the perfect ice-cold coffee!! If you want to be able to make an ice-cold drink in seconds—this item is for you!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $29.98.
Promising review: "Right away when I opened the box, I was excited to see how these felt. I have to say I was not disappointed at all! They are the softest fluffiest slippers I have ever had on my feet! The soles are the perfect material where you won’t ruin these if you need to go to the basement or laundry room in your building. I also like the peep toe, slide-style as it keeps my feet warm and protected but they won’t get too hot. They fit nicely and would be a great gift too!" —C. Duke
Get them from Amazon for $23.99 (available in sizes S-XL and in five colors).
BuzzFeed's Arielle Calderon says: "I had a really good experience and I personally thought the Away Bigger Carry-On was worth the $250. I was able to fit a large number of items, the laundry bag was a lifesaver, the compression section really made everything fit better, and it looks stylish too. The fact that it has a lifetime guarantee also helps. Obviously, $200+ can be a huge purchase for some people, but it's a good investment for my lifestyle. And if you hate it within the 100 days, you can always return it."

My friend got me one of these for Christmas a couple of years ago, and I LOVE it! It's a nice soy wax candle with some amazing smells. For example, the France candle smells like warm, fresh croissants and lattes with a touch of tobacco and lavender. Plus, they have a 60–80 hour burn time, which is a lot since I've only gone through about half of mine in the time that I've had it.
Promising review: "These smell delicious! I got one for my British friend who applied for a visa and can't leave the country for a year. This will help her think of home. She loved it!" —Cassandra

Get them from Puma for $110 (available in sizes 5.5-11 and in two styles).
Promising review: "I love that I can now be comfortable on rainy days too! I live in my tree runners, and they wash nicely, but this is great that I don’t have to worry about rainy days anymore. These fit differently than the tree runners, they come up higher on my ankles and heel (more stable). Overall, a great addition to my constantly growing Allbirds collection. When your feet hurt constantly and you find shoes that alleviate that pain, you live in them!!" —Joanna J.
Get them from Allbirds for $115 (available in whole sizes 5-11 and in four colors).
The 12"x16" slate board includes four knives and chalk.
Promising review: "I love this slate cheese board. The soapstone chalk pencil is precise and better than regular chalk because it does not leave dust or rub off until you are ready to wipe it off. The stainless steel serving knives have a sturdy, sleek design. Unlike some utensils with handles that eventually loosen or break off, these are one piece and easy to clean. It has slip-proof rubber feet that keep it in place. I was very impressed by the quality and value of this product. It looked very impressive this past Christmas with my different cheeses, meats, fruit, and wine pairings." —Vera
Get it from Amazon for $29.97.
Plus, you can sign them up for a plan, and they'll get a delivery of brush heads and batteries (depending on the plan) to their door every three months. Not only is the brush beautiful, but it's also practical = it pings every 30 seconds to let you know how long you've been brushing.

The 10"x10" letter board is made of black felt and comes with 340 letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and symbols, plus a bag to keep the extras in.
Promising review: "I was SHOCKED by the quality of this letter board. After seeing some places sell their boards for $50 and more going by size, I just assumed I would be getting something flimsy, but I didn't care too much as long as it looked OK. The board came packed in bubble wrap and twine. The board feels heavy and high quality. I totally love it. It's better than what I expected. Plus, it's a great price!" —Livilou
Get it from Amazon for $14.65 (available in two styles).
The LED lights turn on and off automatically, so you only have to water and add plant food. The kit includes the garden and Genovese basil, curly parsley, dill, mint, thyme, Thai basil seeds, and Miracle-Gro plant food.
Promising review: "I love to cook, so the thought of having fresh herbs and veggies right on my kitchen counter was exciting. However, I had never had much success in gardening. This new Goodful AeroGarden changed that for me. I made the best Caprese salad I have ever eaten last week with some fresh basil from my garden. My kids actually enjoy helping me harvest and eat something green. It is freezing outside right now, but we still have fresh produce growing in our home! I can't believe it works this well. If you enjoy cooking or gardening, I would highly recommend it." —FreshMom
Get it from BuzzFeed's Goodful line, exclusively at Macy's for $89.99 (available in black, sage, and white).

Promising review: "I don't ever give 5-star ratings, but I can't help it with this game. My 7-year-old is now a master at this game. I wish I had a nickel for every time we've played this. Going from two players to three completely changes the game. I have yet to play with four, but I think that may just be too much. But this is a great game and I recommend you pick it up. This totally flips tic-tac-toe on its head" —John Doe
Get it from Amazon for $34.99.
Promising review: "I love, love, love, love my mixer! My husband bought this for me for Christmas last year, and this is the best gift I've ever received. I've bought several of the attachments, such as the ice cream maker (fabulous easy homemade ice cream), the spiralizer (sooo much better than the Vegetti), and the food processor attachment (love it!). I leave this little beauty out on my counter because it's such a pretty thing to look at, not to mention that it's ready to use as soon as I need it. When I get a sudden urge to make brownies or bake a loaf of bread for dinner, it's so easy to just grab my ingredients and whatever attachment, bowl, or beater that I need, and whip something up. Cleaning up is easy with the stainless bowls too. There are so many colors to choose from, there is no way you can't find one that is an aesthetically pleasing addition to your kitchen. One other thing I love is that the attachments can be used with older mixers, meaning I don't need to worry about not being able to buy new attachments as they come available even after I've had mine for years. If you watch the popular cooking shows, you'll notice that the majority of the hosts use a Kitchenaid mixer. There's a reason for that, it's the best!"—Clipper56

I've been using the medium-sized duffle bag for the past couple of months now, and let me tell you, I wish I would have bought it years ago. The fabric feels and looks so nice. Plus, you can really fit so much inside. Seriously, I've fit my laptop, iPad, a book, all my toiletries, a crossbody purse, wallet, snacks, and more inside and have still been able to close it. And my favorite part: there's a really convenient small pocket on the outside that fits your phone perfectly. This means I never have to spend a good five minutes searching through all that stuff in the bag to find my phone somewhere at the bottom. I can just grab it and show the TSA agent my ticket in seconds. I've been telling all my friends and family about it and now I know what's one of the top things on their list this year.
Get it from Nordstrom for $124 (available in five colors).
These lil' guys can charge an iPhone 6 TWICE when they're fully charged.
Promising review: "I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife who can never keep her phone charged. It's a nice compact size, and it's in a little bag with cable. She loves it and has had to use it several times already. It's a great gift." —Dewey Eaves

Promising review: "I think this might be one of the best things I've ever bought on Amazon. I bought one sheet for my mom for Christmas, and they just came. She hasn't seen them, but I know they'll crack her up. They look fantastic. I'll definitely buy more!!" —Claudia Basile
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
I got a similar one of these last year for Christmas and use it all the time. It makes delicious popcorn in the same amount of time as the stuff you buy at the store. Plus this bowl is collapsible, BPA-free, and dishwasher-safe.
Promising review: "This product would get 10 stars from me! I just tried it out last night and was amazed by how quickly I had a healthy and delicious bowl of popcorn. Two minutes and it was done! I was seriously considering buying another air popper before I saw this. It requires no oil, and there are no chemicals, like in a bag of microwave popcorn. I used yellow corn, and every kernel popped. I purchased two more for Christmas gifts. This product is a winner." —Candice Harmon
Get it from Amazon for $15.90+ (available in 12 colors).
Promising review: "This is truly a unique and extremely high-quality wallet that takes into account how we really use this everyday necessity. The pushbutton reveal of credit cards not only makes access easy but keeping the cards fanned till you return it to your wallet makes it almost impossible to forget your card and with the tracker, you won't leave your Ekster behind either. I’m a wallet freak who’s not easy to please… and I’m in heaven." —Sam Egan
Get it from Ekster for $79 (available in seven colors).
Promising review: "I ordered the Cupsy for the couch in the living room because there were spills at least once a week while watching TV. Not only does Cupsy hold two large cups, but there is also a slot for the remote which is so helpful when watching TV. We have a sectional, and it fits perfectly and doesn't tilt the cups at all while we are sitting down. We have only had it for a few weeks but so far it's been great! I would recommend this product for all ages and couches!" —danielle hoffberg
Get it from Amazon for $24.97 (available in black and brown).
I've been wearing this watch for a couple of weeks now. The first thing that drew to me to it was the shape of it. I like how it looks like a regular oversized watch, especially when the screen is dark. But then, when you shift the face towards you, it turns on and clearly tells you the time, the number of steps you've taken, weather, and your heart rate. You can also connect it via Bluetooth to your phone to get notifications right on your wrist. It's really nice to have all the information so close and to be able to track my workouts instead of just hoping for the best. Plus, I think it totally looks way more expensive than it actually is.
Get it from Target for $59.99 (available with a black, rose gold, or blue band).
This removes corks in seconds, can open up to 30 bottles on a single charge, and has a built-in rechargeable battery.
Promising review: "OMG! I LOVE this wine opener. It opens with ease. I don’t post many reviews, but this is definitely worth the money. I can't say enough good things about this wine opener. It comes with an awesome charging stand and foil cutter. Don’t waste your time on other electric wine openers. This is the one! I love it! The blue light is really cool too!" —Allison Parks
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
Promising review: "These shoes are so cute and comfy! And they fit true to size. They have a lot of cushion and are lightweight. They almost feel more like a tennis shoe than a boot. I love these and will wear them all winter!" —MCKMN
Get them from Sorel for $200 (available in sizes 5-11) or a similar men's style $190 (available in sizes 7-15 and in three styles).
The two-sided tray has extendable handles and accessory slots to fit books, magazines, or even an electronic device. It's waterproof and has non-slip silicone grips. The sides extend up to 43 inches to accommodate most bathtubs.
Promising review: "I love this caddy tray. It took a while for me to review. I needed to test it out a few times. Royal Craft Wood really had taken the time to construct this product for consumers. I did not know that the soap dish and small tray were removable/interchangeable. It's very convenient for additional space or storing elsewhere in the tub. The product comes with strips to place where you desire to prevent the wood from scratching your porcelain tub. Did I say I love it?!" —Lahina_1821

Promising review: "THIS IS ADORABLE. I am so happy with this! I got it as a Christmas gift, and I absolutely love it! I actually want to buy another one. I get so many compliments on it. The simplicity of it is the best part. If I want to switch out a picture, I simply just unclip one and replace it with another. I'm very happy with this! I will definitely buy more of these in the future!" —Kelsey

Promising review: "I love the versatility of this purse. It's a perfect everyday bag for work and for the weekends to throw things in. It's not too big and not too small. It fits my laptop, a binder, a few small notepads, a water bottle, and any other small items without feeling bulky. 10/10 I would recommend if you're on the fence." —hannahbray

Promising review: "How did I not own a SodaStream before? I love carbonated water, but my town is awful with recycling so I hated buying a 12-pack of cans all the time just to toss in the trash. Best buy I've made in a long time! I think the Fizzi design (especially the white) is the classiest, but that may just be me!" —Helen LL

The dog camera not only lets you watch your dog while you're gone with a full HD camera and night vision, but you can also talk to your dog (and they can talk...I mean bark, back) and give them treats.
Promising review: "I bought this item for my girlfriend who is deployed overseas in Bahrain. She loves her dog more than anything so I knew this would be a perfect gift for her. The first night I had the Furbo I was awoken several times in the middle of the night by high-pitched squealing and giggling of glee from my girlfriend not being able to contain herself. She was so excited to see him, talk to him, and give him treats, and OH BOY does she like giving him treats! By the time she gets back from her deployment, I am sure he will be overweight and won't be able to run to her when she gets home. Thanks, Furbo, your product is awesome and we all love it!" —maria

The Billberry Cactus has a green fruity floral scent. To use the diffuser, you have to remove the cap and insert the wood ring. Then insert the cactus reed into the container. The good smells will last for about two to three days when used continuously.
Promising review: “This is a lovely product! It came in super-adorable packaging with oil in the diffuser AND an extra refill. The scent is lovely, fresh, and not overpowering. The diffuser part took a few days to fully become soaked in the liquid. You could actually see a line rising over a few days. Plus, it is small and way cuter than the diffuser reeds.” —Zeedee

Promising review: "We LOVE this little streaming devise. I've dumped my premium channels in lieu of what's available on my ROKU! It was SO easy to set up, and I love the availability of so many movies. I'm telling all my "old fart" friends about ROKU! Also, it was the great price that originally caught my eye." —Lynda Lowman

Promising review: "The best bag out there. The Scout handles whatever I pack in it. (Having two kids means a lot of crap.) I also use this bag for groceries at Trader Joe’s and the bagger mentioned that he wishes all customers bags were this awesome. I love this bag so much that all my family members got one for Christmas. A great beach bag (can hose down after) or overnight bag (tons of room)." —Amy R VV

Get it from Firebox for $38.99.
Promising review: "I bought this for my boyfriend as a Christmas present, but after hearing him complain multiple times about how long it takes to shave with his cheap disposable razors, I decided to give him this gift early. He absolutely loves it, and it gives him a super clean shave (which means his stubble isn't irritating my face when we smooch, so it's a win for me as well. Haha). The sandalwood shave soap smells really nice, and the bristles on the brush are soft. The razor itself is very durable and high quality. The packaging and label designs are really nice and give the kit a fun old-school feel. I'd definitely recommend this set — everything you need for a great shave." —Brittany
Get it from Amazon for $49.50.
Promising review: "I was skeptical about buying a massager online, but I guess I wanted to try anything at this point because the tension in my neck was so bad! I am using it right now for the first time, and it's amazing. Just the right pressure and hitting all the spots that I have knots in. It's very warm, but I wouldn't say 'hot'. I can't wait to use this every night to relax!!! I am so grateful." —Jamie Shepard
Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in beige and black).
The kit includes two different size barrels to create curls, a firm smoothing brush, soft soothing brush, round volumizing brush, pre-styling dryer, the base, nonslip mat, and a storage case. It also has heat control, that measures the temperature to prevent heat damage while styling. And I can tell you first hand that it's worth the hype and price tag: I recently got a chance to try it, and I have one word for it—AMAZING. I stepped out of the shower at 12:15 pm and had beautiful, curled hair by 12:50 pm. Yep, what would have taken me an hour to an hour and a half with my normal hair dryer/curling iron, took about half that, and it was my first time using the device. Plus, all the other attachments allow you to switch up your look easily, so there's really no bad hair day ever again.
Promising review: "I had my eye on this for a while and once I got some birthday money, I decided to go for it. Honestly, I’m mad I waited so long. This honestly changed my life. It sounds dramatic, but I used to spend so much time doing my hair (it’s thick, coarse, difficult to manage) and this has saved me so much time getting ready and always improved my hair. So many people give me compliments now, and it is because of this. Don’t waste time. You won’t regret it!"—sarahfab
