The pitcher is leak-proof and made from BPA-free titan that is stain, cloud, and odor proof.
Promising review: "This little filter is great. It makes the perfect amount of cold brew for a week for me. I usually steep for anywhere between 12–24 hours depending on how strong I want it to be. Grind your beans coarse and fill with filtered water and toss it in the fridge, can't be any simpler. I used to always drop $3–$4 a day on iced coffee or the VSC cold brew from Starbucks, so I can't imagine how much money this has saved me." —Jacob S.

Promising review: "Does exactly what it says. Rather than getting spackel, waiting for it to dry, sanding it down, and tweaking as needed, this cuts the time/effort down to 1) rub over a place in need of patching 2) wipe off excess. The hardest part is not accidentally getting the product on parts of the wall that don’t need it, but that’s easy to clean up, so it’s not a problem. I used this to patch holes in the wall from a former WiFi router and modem- other than the color difference from the patch to the paint, you’d never know it was patched. Great price, easy to use." —Amanda

Promising review: "This works great, much better than clips. I never knew anything like this existed, but now that I know I use it daily. It seals all plastic bags I’ve tried instantly and they’re just like how they were from the store. I’ve since bought more for my daughter and daughter in laws and they all love them too!" —Ralph

Amazefy is a small business that sells useful tools and gadgets for the home.
Promising review: "This is made well and does exactly what it says it will do. I have always needed something that would keep a lid from sliding shut while I am boiling noodles. This did the trick. No more water boiling over from a lid shutting when it shouldn't." —Gary Johnson

Promising review: "If you like to have your food fresh for longer period and are tired of throwing food away because of spoilage or just that annoying freezer burn, then you are ready to invest into a good vacuum sealer system. We use our Food Saver to extend the storage life of our foods. I've been able to save so much money just because I can buy in bulk, use a bit at a time without foods going bad. The handheld sealer works great on the FoodSaver bags, it's quick and simple to use. This is a must for anyone who wants to buy food in bulk and wants and minimize food waste." —Nathan

Also if you need more bags, snag this multi-pack of the FoodSaver bags mentioned by the reviewer.
Promising review: "Over the spring, I had a massive ant problem in my kitchen. They only seemed to be going for water! I couldn’t keep them out of my electric kettle! I started putting these traps in their path to the kettle and they SWARMED it! It was crazy to see how many ants were there. But that’s exactly what they are supposed to do! They all come and bring it back to the queen and then it kills the colony. After two weeks, I had about an 80% decrease in the amount of ants I was seeing in my kitchen. Now I still keep them out on the counter but I hardly see any ants at all! This product works really well! It doesn’t have a noticeable smell and all the liquid stays contained in the trap so there is really no clean up!" —Brenna Engstrand

Promising review: "I had a two-hinge garlic press, which worked well but the garlic often got stuck and it was not easy to clean. I am pleasantly surprised by how this garlic crusher has such a simple design, yet it is so effective. As you press the garlic, the minced garlic will be collected on top of the grater and you can easily scape them off with the little knife that came with the kit. I also love the silicon peeler! It makes peeling garlic skin a lot easier. With these tools, my hands longer stink from cropping garlic!" —CL

Here's why my co-worker Stephanie loves this — "Okay, so I'm definitely the kind of person to cook an entire box of pasta because they have no idea how much they should be making for one person. This measure has worked perfectly for me to figure out exactly how much I need to make for myself and my fiancé for dinner. No more wasted pasta!

Two Lilacs Studio is a small Etsy shop based in Saint Helens, Oregon.

It even comes with an insert for smaller glasses/cans! It can fit anything from regular glasses, beer bottles, mugs, and anything in between.
Promising review: "This product is awesome. I was afraid that it wouldn't be heavy enough not to slide around with a large drink in it, but no worries: it handles any drink. This is perfect since I don't have a coffee table to use for my drinks. My drinks sweat inside the holder, but it does not leak onto my couch and I just wipe it out with paper towels. I love the feature of the insert for smaller based glasses and cups." —Sandra F

Promising review: "My girlfriend bought this for me as a present. At first I was skeptical to use, but once I got my hands out it there was no going back. I use my Beard Bib anywhere two to four times a week and cannot live without it. Not only does this serve a big purpose in my trimming routine but now I no longer have to argue with my girlfriend about all the mess that I USED to create. Also, we ordered a beard oil recently and reached out to customer support about the different scents they offer, they were super helpful! Overall it has been an awesome experience and they’ve truly made me feel like a King!" —Timur

Promising review: "These are fantastic! I've been using the deodorant style anti-chafing rubs and wanted a longer lasting option. Ding Ding ladies! This is it! So comfortable I fell asleep in them! No marks, no uncomfortable 'digging in.' They do take some fine tuning to make sure that they don't roll, but once you find that spot, they don't move! I got the lacy ones and they are sexy and soft to the touch with the silicone on the top and bottom." —A. Spencer

Promising review: "I didn't know these even existed until seeing them on an episode of Shark Tank. I gave them a try and wow! No more sweat spots. I have hyperhidrosis and sweat a lot, mostly in my armpits and hands. I would always sweat through my shirts, even with wearing an undershirt. With this shirt, I have yet to see any sweat spots. It fits well as an undershirt." —RoBroKnos

With its envelope design you can stay super cozy while laying down, but can also flip the bottom inside out for feet exposure. It's lightweight and perfect for travel!
Promising review: "Let me start off by saying that this thing is soooooo soft. The best thing I can compare it to would be a pair of luxurious leggings. It has a lot of stretch and give to it. I will say that this DOES take a few days to get used to and figure out how high up you want to pull it. I personally keep it below my bustline, but when I lounge on the couch I like to bring it up around my shoulders.
I recently traveled and it fit nicely in my carryon luggage (keep the pouch it comes in, it comes in handy). It also kept me feeling secure when I was away from my husband.
If you are someone that struggles with anxiety, this is a must. It provides a light and gentle pressure where you don't feel confined, but instead you feel comforted." —Lindo

Promising review: "I was frying chicken with lard (yes, I use lard! My chicken is NOT health food.) and I put too much in the frying pan. A few minutes after putting the chicken in, the lard began to bubble up and if I hadn't had the Frywall in place, it would have spilled all over my stove. The Frywall creates a seal around my frying pan, stopping spillovers. Splatters don't escape, it's easy to work around it (turning my chicken over), and when I'm done, I just throw it in the dishwasher. If you do any frying at all, you want the Frywall." —Carl G Brown

Promising review: "I have this and the finish nail size and they are both great! I have nerve pain in my hands and The Safety Nailer removes any chance of me banging my fingers with a hammer. What a relief!! It’s great for those of us who are not as dexterous as we once were. One of the best construction gadgets I’ve ever purchased." —w4shep

It has dual voltage and heats up in a fast 15 seconds!
Promising review: "This iron is absolutely the best! Didn't know I would use it so much. Sure, I knew I would use it for quilting/sewing, but I find it being my go-to iron for fast pressing and touching things up. By the time my big expensive iron is filled with water and heats up, I'm about finished using this one. You won't be disappointed." —rainbowbrite

Blueland is an Asian American-owned brand founded by Sarah Paiji Yoo. Their mission is to cut back on single-use plastics that can inevitably end up in our drinking water. They've helped eliminate 1 billion single-use plastic bottles from landfills and oceans since 2019 — AMAZING.
"Listen, maybe it's just a Me Problem, but I always get kind of confused about what cleaning products to use where — they're usually dangerous chemicals and I don't want to mess up! With Blueland, it's honestly a relief to have the bottles labeled, telling me exactly where to use each product. And it's doubly a relief to know that they're all ~clean~ cleaning products regardless." —Rachel Dunkel

Promising review: "I like to travel light, which means wearing the same outfit more than once on long trips. Typically, this requires me to wash clothes in the sink and hang them up to dry. It's not that convenient if I'm not in the same place for a few days. The reviver swipes were PERFECT for this and are now a must have travel items for me. It took five minutes tops rubbing it on clothes to eliminate any smell. I had my husband give it the sniff test too to make sure I wasn't imagining it and he agreed, absolutely no scent left (besides the scent of the wipes, which is a little perfumey but was very subtle)." —Natasha G.
