Promising review: "I bought these for the same reasons most do — to be more environmentally friendly. I like the size of my Swiffer Sweeper, but always felt like I wasn't getting my floors fully clean. We recently got a new apartment, and I always like to deep clean before we do any major moving. I used them dry and wet. I've always been disappointed with how the disposable pads from Swiffer (barely) picked up dog fur and crumbs, but as you can see in the picture it picked up so much! This was already after using a traditional broom. Then using them wet with diluted Mrs. Meyer's cleaning concentrate — wow! The water was BLACK by the time I was all done with our downstairs area. They were so easy to Velcro on and off, wet or dry. Once I was all done, getting them off and doing a quick rinse wasn't hard at all. I love that I am supporting a small family business with all the convenience of Amazon. I will definitely buy again (if i ever have to). I am so excited to use these for years to come and have a cleaner house than I ever have before!!" —Kathryn Willer

Promising review: "These things are super useful to have in the kitchen and have allowed us to cut way back on the amount of plastics we use. Probably one of the slickest uses my wife came up with is using the smaller one to cover the cut side of an onion. Also useful for covering open cans and leftover bowls. I thought they would be a nightmare to clean but just rest it topside down on your palm and run a soapy dishbrush around it, rinse, and you’re good to go." —Gman

Promising review: "This was a lifesaver! I was driving behind a cement truck when it decided to pepper my car with tiny splatters of cement to the hood and roof of my car. I was able to pull over and take out my Wash Wipes and get to work. I cleaned up all the cement from my black car before it dried to the paint, and it only took one wipe (both sides) to clean the hood free of all cement." —Wicket571

This even has two USB ports. Bless.
Promising review: "Brilliant! Very handy wall plug that not only adds extra outlets, but they can be turned sideways to use, so will fit snugly behind furniture! It appears to be a surge protector too! I will buy more of these!" —L.C.

Just look at all that new usable space!
Promising review: "Not sure why I didn’t expect them to work as well as it sounds... but they absolutely work as well as they sound! Makes MUCH more room in my closet. I used for purses, jackets, tank tops, dresses and has been holding very well. When I need something, just push the others aside and raise up the one I need. Very pleased with my purchase!" —Dennis A. Evans

Promising review: "Apparently my feet think they are special. They are highly sensitive to boot environments and rapidly develop blisters and other issues. They like to be free, but I like boots and have a nice stock of them in my closet. A friend bought a pair of Nisolo’s and I was intrigued. I was afraid they would be a no-go for my feet but I had to try them despite the price. After a trial run around the house for the first day, my feet and I agreed. Nisolo’s are the best thing ever! I bought my pair a half size bigger to account for my thicker Stance socks that has been lifesaving for my feet in other shoes. I cannot express how comfortable my feet are in these shoes. I wear them a lot. Walking the dog, walking in downtown Portland, all the places. I now plan my outfits around these boots and am eyeing other shoes. The suede holds up well in weather (and PNW gets weather). These are pretty much the perfect boot. I look forward to many years of wearing them." —Valerie H.
Get them from Nisolo for $250 (available in sizes 5–10 and six colors).
BuzzFeed writer Danielle Healy is passionate about these pans (yes, seriously):
"These responsibly-sourced and crafted pan/pot hybrids arrived looking even more beautiful than I'd imagined. I cooked dinner with them immediately and then proceeded to get rid of the mismatched collection of various skillets and unused pots my boyfriend, roommate, and I had brought into this apartment and accumulated since living here. It was a life-changing moment. Not only are my cabinets gloriously uncluttered and organized (this set nests together like a dream), but these just work better and feel like they're going to last a lot longer than the non-stick iterations we had collected before. One, if not both pieces, get near-daily use and no one in the apartment has any complaints! They heat evenly, clean easily (especially considering it doesn't have that nonstick coating), and really are designed to cover the vast majority of your cookware bases. Plus, Proclamation Goods Co. is a 1% for the Planet member, meaning they contribute at least one percent of their annual sales to environmental causes. Need I say more?"

Promising review: "Recently, thanks to COVID-19, I visited my parents and ended up staying with them to shelter in place. The guest bedroom is small with two beds. Mine is up against a wall. The sheets I bought pop off all the time. Drives me insane in normal circumstances, but when the bed is against a wall, it's so much worse. So far, these have been exactly what I needed." —Dee Fields

Hello! This stuff single-handedly saved my hair. I spent about three weeks in Croatia (my family lives there) and I went to the beach every day. The salt usually wreaks havoc on my hair, leaving it dull and dry. But this stuff! This STUFF! I showered and shampooed like I normally would, applied this to damp hair before brushing it out, and the results were consistently wonderful. Tons of hydration with no weigh-down, lots of added shine, flyaways were gone, and the scent is lovely.

Promising review: "I could not believe the gunk I found within the rubber seal of my otherwise clean front-load washer. After using the wipe I used a heavy rag to completely wipe all the gunk out. I will be using these regularly now, probably monthly. Plus, they leave a nice fresh fragrance." —Pellizzer

One side is faux-fur and the other side is plush velvet; the twin set comes with one pom-pom fringed pillow sham, and other size sets include two.
Promising review: "If my house caught on fire, this is the first thing I’d grab. But seriously, this is one of my favorite things in my whole house. I feel like it tied my entire room together. I get so many compliments on it and it seriously so cozy and well made. My only complaint would be how hard thing thing makes it to get out of bed in the mornings. It’s incredibly soft and isn’t the type of 'fur' that will mat and get gross-looking over time. I rely heavily on reviews when I buy things so I’m here to tell you — if you’re on the fence about buying this ... do it!! Also, the pillowcases are amazing also. Super soft and the pom-pom fringe is adorable." —SK
Get it from Amazon for $69.99+ (available in sizes Twin–King and three colors).
Promising review: "This outfit fits so well but doesn't feel suffocating. The pants at first looked too small but once I put them on they stretched out easily and the material is thick enough for it not to be see-through or show panty lines. The top is cozy to wear, supportive, and va-va voom if you wear it as a top on its own. It covers the back well too. I plan on ordering more colors." —Jenny

Promising review: "Very cute! I bought it for a friend for her birthday and she loved it. It's very aesthetically pleasing and nice to the touch, but definitely will break if you drop it, so keep it in a safe area. It's the perfect size to display your special jewelry. It's very nicely made, and is perfect for someone who loves that natural aesthetic." —Lisa

Another bonus? If you flip the lid over, it has a wooden base, so you can *also* use this as a teensy snack table. I recently got one of these for my new apartment to stash my candles and ~candle accessories~ in and it's pretty much become my favorite piece of furniture?? I use it to prop up my feet during work hours and sometimes if I want to eat on my couch I'll use it as a tray. It's also sturdy enough to sit on, if I ever wanted to have guests over and needed an extra chair. It was RIDICULOUSLY easy to set up — I had it done in less than ten minutes, and probably didn't even need the directions. It also just looks so darn cute (and comes in so many colors that I'm tempted to buy another!).
Promising review: "I was using a small foldable step stool in my bedroom to reach the top shelves of my wardrobe. But you know, those things aren’t pretty. It wasn’t be bringing me joy, just begrudging utility. This ottoman brings me joy. It’s pretty, it’s lightweight so I can move it easily to use it as a step stool, and the storage capacity is perfect for things like my nightly moisturizers, my kindle and journals, and other little miscellaneous things." —Monica N.

Promising review: "Single best appliance I own. My boyfriend sent me this sort of as a joke; we both thought it was both ridiculous and brilliant to have a McMuffin maker in your house. And then I tried cooking with it for the first time. Holy crap, it's AMAZING. I ended up using frozen waffles for the bread; you have to trim them just a tad, but they are the perfect amount of crispy. I love experimenting with this, and have built some truly amazing sandwiches. Waffles, eggs, avocado, Swiss, and ham. Waffles, egg, corn salsa, jack cheese. If you can fit it into the rounds, you can make a sandwich with it. The panel under the egg slides out easily and cleanly when the egg is cooked (I find four minutes is perfect for cooked eggs with runny yolks), and the whole middle section can simply be tossed in the dishwasher." —Elizabeth Joy Weaver

Luv Scrub is a Black woman-owned business founded by Caroline Owusu-Ansah, who is introducing people to West African methods of mesh exfoliation one customer at a time. This product is so popular it's often sold out, so go go go!
"I'm so obsessed with this exfoliator that I'm just choosing to forget all the years I lived without it. First of all, it suds up my body wash like nobody's business — I probably have to use about a quarter as much of it now to get really sudsy good coverage. It's flexible and extendable, which makes it ridiculously easy to reach places all over my body, in particular my shoulders and back. You can bunch it up to your preferred thickness if you want more of a light exfoliation or a deeper one in different places of your body. As someone who has had bumpy and rough skin on my arms, I noticed a MASSIVE difference in the smoothness of my skin from the very first use. I also just love the pop! of pink in my shower, it makes me happy to look at it." —Emma Lord

Promising review: "This came SO in handy during my vacation to Europe! I was making lots of different stops to places with different types of weather.
