Small things that might just make a difference in your life.
Promising review: "I was skeptical at first. What kind of witchcraft could make these small plastic bins be born from that would make them somehow extend the life of our otherwise short-lived produce? Well, let me tell you if it was witchcraft that produced these containers, then call the Sanderson sisters and get them rolling on another batch! Down here in southeastern Virginia, the produce is terrible! We couldn’t get strawberries to last for more than three of four days. They’re so much cheaper to buy in the large containers, but then we had to eat them for breakfast lunch and dinner just to make sure they were gone before they started to get too soft and juicy. I was beginning to dislike strawberries. And that, ladies and gentlemen, would be a crime in and of itself. But along came these wonderful containers. They more than doubled the life of our berries allowing me to once again think to myself “eh, maybe this meal I will have kiwi.” P.S. they’re easy to clean and stack well in the fridge too."—Michael Territo

I've been using a similar one for years, and I still swear by it. It's so much cheaper than buying microwave popcorn all the time, not to mention better for you. It's super easy to use and makes delicious popcorn in minutes. Plus, it's collapsible, so it won't take up a lot of room in your cabinet. You *can* use it as its own bowl, but it's usually pretty hot after coming out of the microwave, so I usually just transfer to another bowl so I don't have to wait for it to cool.
Promising review: "Absolutely amazing! I am throwing out my old popcorn maker because there is no need for it anymore. I cannot believe how easy it was to make perfect popcorn and use the same bowl to eat it out of. I've already told all of my friends to buy this!" —Cindy Suy

Promising review: "I cannot stress how much better this simple little tool has made my quality of life during summer. I have horrific allergic reactions to mosquito bites. We're talking bumps swelling to the width of softballs within minutes of the bite. This tool doesn't make those bumps go away, but it stops the itch IMMEDIATELY. I was a huge skeptic; how could a little suction cure this agonizingly itchy allergic reaction? It provides instant relief that no pill, cream, or injection ever has ever achieved for me. If you live anywhere where insect bites are common, you need to own one of these!" —Customer

It's made of a mix of peppermint, spearmint, and lavender oils to ease tension.
Promising review: "Years ago, a massage therapist I went to used a cream at my temples that helped greatly with headaches and nausea. I have tried to find that scent for years. THIS IS IT! I use it daily on my temples and the back of my neck just below my hairline. It helps 100% with nausea I suffer from the meds I take. Many of my headaches I can prevent from going to a migraine by applying again at the start of a headache. I take so many meds because of autoimmune diseases that I like not having to pop another pill for my headaches. I am the most skeptical person you will find when it comes to homeopathic or oils, etc., but this works!" —DVS

Promising review: "This device is ingenious! Wished I’d known this product exist sooner. I use Arm & Hammer toothpaste which still comes in the standard small-cap so having it prompt up behind the bathroom cabinet was impossible. Now, the problem is solved. It’s a small invention that made a positive impact. I thank the person who thought of it." —Jl33NYC

Plus, you can sous vide or marinate with these!
Promising review: "This is an amazing idea! I keep my frozen bananas in them when they start to go bad. The freezer disposable bags used to freezer-burn them. These reusable bags keep these from getting freezer burn, and they taste amazing in my smoothies. Plus, they're easy to close! I need 100 more! I love this color, however, I think I would lean towards clear since if I have multiple in the freezer, it's easier to see what's in them." —Sasha

Promising review: "I was skeptical that this puller would actually work. I wear dresses Monday through Friday for work. I buy ones that have long, hidden zippers. I am breaking about one zipper every two weeks, trying to zip them up by myself. It was costing me about $50 to replace the zippers. Finally, I broke down and bought this. I am so happy that I did. It takes a couple of times to get it on right, but once you get the zipper puller on the zipper, it zips right up. This is perfect! It's great for single moms like me!!!" —M. Sanders

Okay, I know that's not how it works, but doesn't it feel like that's how it works sometimes??? This absorbs ethylene gas that would otherwise ripen your fruits and vegetables. It's safe to put in the fridge or even in a fruit bowl. Each packet lasts three months.
Promising review: "These REALLY work! We have to move them away from our fresh fruit so it would ripen! My produce is lasting at least three times as long without spoilage. This is a great product, and I have already bought many as gifts. They don't seem to work on tomatoes, but they are great with bananas, apples, kiwi, pears, grapes, plums, peaches, lettuces, mushrooms, and many more fruits and vegetables." —Jacki

Promising review: "This stuff really is awesome. It really works and I don't know where it has been all my life. I started looking for something for thigh chafing after running into a few issues (not fun). It is super easy to use, just slide it on like you'd use deodorant." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This worked out very well for me. I have tendinitis in my wrist and thumb joint. This mouse pad has given my wrist the right amount of support I need and is still comfortable to use with a mouse. I like that the pad is longer than many other memory-foam mouse pads as I move my hand around a lot." —Amazon Customer

This one is made of memory foam with a gel layer on the top for a cooling effect to make it comfortable all day.
Promising review: "This pillow has been a godsend. My boyfriend suffers from severe numbness in his left leg and severe sciatica pain. Within an hour of using this coccyx pillow, he said the numbness was essentially gone. I am so glad I found this pillow! I also suffer from back pain due to bad posture since I am sitting and leaning over for hours at a time running my own business. If you have sciatica pain, or back pain or really any pain associated with sitting for long periods of time, I implore you to get this item. I’m even going to get another one for my other office." —Kindle Customer

Promising review: "This thing is amazing. I was totally not expecting it to be so comfortable because it was so affordable, but it's just such a delightful upgrade to my supposedly ergonomic office chair. Basically the easiest thing ever to install (snap snap!), with instant relief. I am kind of petite, so it just feels like I fit in the chair better now. Fingers crossed one of my coworkers doesn't steal it. Even if they do, I can afford to buy another. So pleased!" —Adri

This 14-ounce jar is dishwasher safe and charges with a USB. Plus, it's quiet, so you don't have to worry about annoying the people around it when you use it.
Promising review: "This is a great product. It's WAYYY better than I expected. I live alone, so a traditional blender is awkwardly bit large for me. This blender is super easy to carry away with you because it is light. And this blender is super easy to clean. The white color and shape are classy. I am happy with this purchase. I can't wait to try out more recipes for my morning smoothies." —Zoey

My mom wasn't the only one that did that, right?? It's one size but can be adjusted to fit chest sizes 30 in to 43 inches.
Promising review: "I started wearing this in hopes of improving my posture. It's much better than I expected, and my posture has improved substantially. I worked up to wearing it pretty much all day at work under my shirt. I work outside and sometimes do strenuous activity. It does not impede me from doing anything and does not restrict my movement. It does remind me how I should be holding my back which has probably saved me from several strains. The most surprising thing is that my lower back pain is gone. I think it is probably just my generally improved posture and developing the muscles in my back and torso but I don't go to work without it anymore and will buy another when it wears out. Oh, and it washes fine in the washing machine." —Greg

Promising review: "So my grandmother told me about this product when I was young, about 20 years ago or so. I use it all the time! THIS STUFF WORKS! It works really well too. My nails grow really long in a few weeks and I get to decide when to cut them off. Women ask me about them all the time, 'How do you get such white nail tips?' Well, it's because of this." —Halie Brake

Promising review: "This vacuum is simply amazing. It is by far WAY better than I expected. I read several reviews on this before purchasing along with looking at several other options. After countless hours of reading and researching, I chose this and couldn't be any happier with the product and the work it does. First, I want to say that I have a Great Pyrenees living in my house, and if you aren't familiar with the breed he is a lean mean shedding machine!! I have spent many hours on a daily basis sweeping and lint rolling my whole house. So, I bought this with the hopes that it would just be "good enough" to get the job done. However, I was amazed to realize that it hasn't missed a SINGLE HAIR in its path ( and in one swipe too.) It literally got every single little crumb and hair out of every area I went over and it's the perfect size to get the job done. It is also VERY easy to clean the filter. The ONLY downside is that it's not cordless, but with this quality cleaning I'll just buy an extension cord because I LOVE it!!" —Jordyn

Promising review: "I love these things. I have not tried other companies because these were the first of its kind I had tried, and they worked WAY BETTER than I expected them to. I've always struggled with acne, from teen to adult, and these get rid of my pimples in two to three nights. It's also very fun to see all the gunk it extracts from your pimple in the morning. It works the best if you open the pimple up slightly before putting on, even a little scratch of the surface to allow the pressure to release a little, smaller pimples will be pretty much flat the next day and larger ones be patient with! For anyone reading this, you can buy like little tools to help with opening your pimples, don't use your finger and don't pop it. But it will work wonders! I wish I could get bigger packs of these. I don't go more than one day without using these somewhere on my face!." —Olivia

Promising review: "This tool has changed my life!!! There is not a pressure point on my body that is not tender. I no longer have to wait for somebody to massage me to get relief!! I literally use it every day. The pain that I had before was so debilitating. There were days when I couldn't function because I was in so much pain from muscle tightness. I am having tremendous relief now. Words cannot express how grateful I am to the person who designed and came up with this concept. This tool has enabled me to take the first steps in taking back my life! I leave it sitting next to my bed and the first thing I do when I wake up is hit the pressure points on my shoulders and neck before I even get out of bed!! No more waking up stiff and staying stiff!!!!!!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the inventor of this life changing tool!!!" —alisa g.

Just put the pasta and water in this, stick it in the microwave, and you'll have al dente pasta in no time.
Promising review: "This is a fantastic product. I’ve been cooking for more than 50 years. Pasta has always been a simple, go to, dinner for me. Tending to the boiling pot of pasta was just part of the process. I’ve been getting 'tired' of cooking as I’ve aged. This simple little microwave pasta cooker has simplified cooking so much more than I could have imagined. Seems silly, but it’s kinda like a little miracle. No more toting a heavy pot to the stove. No more pouring pasta & boiling water into a colander. It’s simple, lightweight and foolproof. You’ll never regret buying this." —Winkie

Promising review: "Every winter, my fingers and knuckles crack and bleed. I've tried everything on the market to heal my hands. I received this hand cream yesterday and when I put it on, I could tell right away that this was better than anything I'd tried. This stuff started working immediately. I filled all the cuts and cracks on my hands with this cream, and today they are almost healed. I believe that this is the best hand cream ever made on earth." —Steve

I've been using the cordless Dyson for over a year now, and I still love it SO much. Yes, I know that it's a bit pricy, but I totally think it's worth it. I used to DREAD vacuuming. I hated how long it took, how you had to keep stopping to unplug and replug in the cord, and how mundane the whole experience was. Well, not anymore. I honestly never thought I'd be the kind of person to get excited about getting a vacuum, but this baby is brilliant. I can vacuum my whole apartment in about five minutes (it's pretty small) without ever really stopping. Plus, it has different attachments that help me reach those hard-to-reach places (*cough, cough* under my couch) that haven't seen a vacuum in years. It's also super easy to grab if anything spills in the apartment and have clean in minutes. I seriously recommend it to everyone I know.
