Promising review: "I LOVE THIS. I'm no master chef, but this cookbook might change that: I might even become a master wizard chef! Anyways, the recipes are phenomenal. The book has a bunch of cute references, and my younger siblings go crazy whenever I make something from this book. I most recently made the meat and potato pies, which can be found on page 44." —Tigerlily

Promising review: "I have this razor and can without a doubt state it is the best I have used. I have served in the military for the past 25 years and shave EVERY day.

Promising review: "If you are looking for products that help minimize travel bulk, while also not looking like a tourist, this product is for you. This bracelet looks lovely. The braided leather is tasteful and does not appear to be anything more than a nice fashion accessory. The charging component works perfectly and is very easy to use, albeit it is a very short cord." —Melissa G.

Promising review: "Just started using this journal after being in a bit of a funk at the start of this year. I researched many different journals but this was the only one that i felt was simple, that didn't make too many 'demands' on my time, that was straightforward, in short, exactly what I was looking for. It's a simple concept and I've only being doing it for a week but I find myself looking for things to be thankful for, find myself adding lines below the three provided and writing in the margins...all because I want to." —silkeymilkey

This Instant Pot is basically seven kitchen tools in one! It can be used as a pressure cooker, rice cooker, steamer, yogurt maker, cake maker, and warmer! It can also sauté, because #fancy.
Promising review: "This is quite possibly the coolest, most versatile kitchen gadget I’ve ever owned. I love it so much that I’ve purchased two more for friends and relatives. What can it do? I think the real question is 'What can’t it do?' I truly believe you could replace every cooking appliance (including your oven and stove top) and do EVERYTHING in the Instant Pot. I purchased two sizes for my own use: the three-quart (which is my almost-every-day workhorse for two person dishes) and the eight-quart (which I bring out to handle my dinner party dishes). Everything I’ve tried has been fabulous. In the realm of kitchen appliances, there is no better investment than the Instant Pot." —Stereoman

Promising review: "Purchased these as a gag gift for my son and his fiancé who were eloping. Their ceremony was taking place at a local pizzeria. Needless to say, these were a hit. The packaging and presentation were well-done and very witty! The socks were cute. My daughter-in-law immediately claimed the Hawaiian pizza socks. So fun!" —Mary F.

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: "This is the cutes book for teachers. I couldn’t see the pages and wondered if it was just a plain book inside, but it’s not at all. It has three places on each page that has who, when, and where, with lines under to write the quotes. Each page is outlined. It just looks cute. The teacher will love it!" —Tommera King

Promising review: "As a very busy college student, it's hard to eat healthy. Between my limited dining hall options and my busy schedule, I needed a way to both eat my veggies and get to class on time. ENTER: this amazing blender bottle. BEST purchase my limited paycheck was ever used on. Fill 'er up with wilted salad bar spinach, crappy orange juice, a grainy apple, some ice, and BOOM...a shake is born. No need to head back to my dorm to plug it into a wall-socket base like most blenders. To my amazed friends, I am now the wizard of smoothies. They all want one now!" —Adrianna Simmons

This paleo-friendly, gluten-free condiment is truly the cherry on top of any meal.
Promising review: "I'm in love with this! My entire family (with the exception of my husband, who doesn't like spice) reaches for this bottle of Mike's many times a week. We've tried it on biscuits, cornbread, fried chicken, bacon (AMAZING), and more. Mike's offers just the right kick of heat to balance the delicious sweetness of the honey. I plan on keeping this in my pantry." —MichiganTraveler

Promising review: "Are you tired of eating take-out but don't have a lot of time to cook....or are you BORED of your repertoire and want something new? This book is brilliant in that it has a lot of trendy recipes people like to eat out or take out (like avocado toast) and has easy recipes to cook at home. Except for the shopping you have to do, it's rather like the recipes for those meal kits. Or a usual thing like lasagne but made with frozen ravioli." —Joanna D.

Promising review: "I have been trying out different face masks lately and these are by far my favorite. My skin can get pretty dry and many face masks leave my skin feeling dry afterwards, but these do not do that whatsoever and leave my skin moisturized and soft. Each individual formula honestly lives up to its description. Really happy I found these!" —Amazon Customer

This has a weighted base and is dishwasher-safe, which basically makes it the perfect whiskey glass.
Promising review: "My old favorite whisky glass (a souvenir from a distillery tour)got broken, and with it my heart. How could I ever enjoy my bourbon again? My wife bought this one for me and my spirits (pun intended) were lifted once again. This glass is handsome, well-crafted, a perfect size, and best of all a marriage between two of my loves: bourbon and Game of Thrones. I highly recommend this glass as a gift for the whisky aficionado in your life." —Dr. Jerry

Promising review: "I originally bought this as a silly little gift for my husband not thinking he would really like it and I was so surprised he loved it! My husband is insanely picky and stuck in his ways. He normally would only use a certain big brand lip balm but when he tried this, he instantly said how nice he thought it was. He also recently had some sunburnt lips and he said it soothed them and made them feel super hydrated. I would totally buy this again for him!" —Emily
