Just insert this wine vacuum into the bottle, pump until you hear a click noise, and that's it! Just add in a bottle stopper (this set comes with two!) to prevent air from getting in the bottle again.
Promising review: "Wow! I have had this for about 5 months now and it works great! I drink red wine quite a bit and almost always leave a glass or two in the bottle. Prior to buying this, that glass or two is basically vinegar within one to two days (depending on the type of wine). If you have a half bottle or more remaining, this pump will keep that half bottle tasting like it was just opened." —Red

Promising review: "I'm always trying to find interesting gifts for my tween daughter that encourage reading and don't involve screens. This was a HUGE hit. We also bought one for her best friend, and they're both really enjoying it." —Liz

Promising review: "This card is perfect if you want a unique gift for your Beatlemaniac friend or family member. The photos don't do it justice. There's a great amount of detail in the cutouts that I didn't even expect! I'm keeping this in mind for future gifts, as well." —Robyn A. James

Promising review: "I love this passport holder! It has room for my passport, driver’s license, three credit cards, several hundred dollars in cash (hidden from view in the side pocket adjacent to the passport pocket), and my boarding pass, with a separate pocket/space for each item. I love it. I didn’t even need to bring my wallet with me!" —Victoria Elias

Promising review: "This brush is truly magical. I have spent YEARS listening to my daughter scream and yell every time I try to gently comb her thick, curly hair after her bath. No matter how much detangler I sprayed, how I much conditioner I used, or how gentle I would try to be, she would always yell. This brush is a game-changer. The first time I used it... silence. No joke." —Sarah Byrnes

Promising review: "I searched forever for really good, functional, absorbent coasters, and I am so glad to have found these. I am very pleased with the quality and the appearance. They add class and a bit of glitter to our coffee table, are the perfect size and weight, and I don't have to worry about them sliding around on glass surfaces. Am going to order another set!" –Ioana Odeh

Promising review: "This is the second one of these watches I've bought, and I love it. It definitely does not look like a $9 watch! I needed something nice for work and didn’t want to spend a lot on it (since it would probably get all banged up), but this was easy to set up and I definitely recommend." —7babez

Promising review: "I purchased this as a gift for a tea lover. It appears to be a very nice sampler set — each loose tea is portioned out into a cup size which is a nice touch, so all she needs to do is open a single package and fill her tea ball. I'm a bit jealous that I won't be trying these teas myself!" —tiredmommy

Promising review: "Really beautiful earrings! They look expensive and not gaudy by any means. I have been considering spending $500 on a pair of different studs, but now I’m not sure they're worth the money. You can get the same look with these earrings for so much less!" —Lauren Carter
Get them from Amazon for $7 (originally $55).
Each mask includes ingredients that serve different skin purposes, ranging from hydrating and brightening to pore minimizing and firming. The avocado mask, for example, contains avocado extracts that work to moisturize and brighten dry, rough skin.
Promising review: "10/10, will buy these again. These masks do a super good job of hydrating and moisturizing the skin. I pop one on for 12 minutes, peel it off, and use my fingers to tap in the remaining essence. If you tap in the remaining essence left in the package, your skin will absorb the essence more quickly and it won't have a sticky feel. Just super soft skin!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This mirror is just what I have been looking for! In fact, I just ordered another one for a gift and may order more. The mirror is sized perfectly for every day use and for travel (since it's so small when it folds flat). Both mirrors are high quality, the lighted portion is perfect for makeup application, and I like the fact that this mirror uses four 'AAA' batteries (which are included) because they are more readily available than button batteries." —Penny C. Tanquary

Promising review: "I absolutely love this ring. I have a really hard time ordering rings online due to the size of the ring never quite being correct, but this ring is fully adjustable which makes it extremely easy for me to take it on and off and wear it on any finger.

Promising review: "I am usually not a hat person at all. We were taking our kids to a holiday event outdoors for several hours, so I needed a hat to keep warm. This was perfect and so cute. I stayed warm the entire time, and I would totally purchase this again!" —JillyinNYC

Just store these stones in your freezer, put 'em in your glass when you're sipping on a fantastic alcohol beverage, and that's it! This will keep your drink cold without any condensation or melting ice.
Promising review: "I bought these as a gift for my roommate & we all love them! Since we don’t have an ice machine or ice trays, these stones are perfect! We use then for so many different things. Aside from drinks, we’ve used them as short-term ice packs to keep food cold and inside a cloth as an ice pack for injuries. I would recommend these stones to anyone!" —Edith

This is also a great gift for college kids. Do you know how heavy textbooks are? Answer: EXTREMELY heavy. But this nifty little stand can hold 'em in place while keeping the right page open!
Promising review: "This stand has been seriously great. My average casebook is about 2,000 pages, and it fits comfortably and securely in the stand. You can adjust the angle very easily, and the pages aren't at risk of getting teared off every time. The little arms at the bottom also rotate, so you get them out of the way super easily when it's time to turn the page. The stand itself is quite beautiful and very lightweight — I've even brought it with me to the library a few times. The adjustable stand in the back folds up really compactly, so when you need to move it, it's basically just the board. Highly recommend this for all students out there." —Danielle

Promising review: "It takes a lot for me to give an item five stars, but when I opened up the mailing envelope with this inside? My first impression was WOW. I literally said 'wow' when I first saw it. I was not expecting it to look as nice and as sturdy as it does. I have bought my fair share (10-15) of covers for our various devices like the Kindle Fire, Fire Hd, IPad, IPod touch, IPad minis, and most have been disappointments or unimpressive. This cover is not one of them. It's beautiful!" —GW

When I got home, I threw my clothes in the washer not even thinking about my watch being in there. When my husband went to put the clothes into the dryer, he found it — and this watch had ABSOLUTELY NO water damage. I couldn’t believe it." —Lesa D.

These wine glasses are the kind that you'll ALWAYS want to keep on hand, because they're inexpensive and cant be broken into a million little glass shards. Just be aware that they're not dishwasher-safe (I'm sorry), and need to be washed by hand.
ALSO! They're stackable!
Promising review: "These are exactly what I've been looking for. I wanted something with no stem that was unbreakable, and these are excellent! They stack for storing, are super lightweight, and really durable. I dropped one from about six feet high, it went skating across my Mexican tile floor, and there wasn't so much as a scratch or a nick on it. Plus, they're affordable!" —Vegan for life
