Promising review: "This item should be in EVERY kitchen — OMG. Beyond useful, as well as cute and whimsical. I use it when I need to strain something but but don't have the sink space to plop down a huge colander. Hard to see in the pic, but the bottom has a lip that snugly hugs onto the curve of a pot or bowl. Also great for when you don't want to strain off all of the liquid, just most of it, like when making ramen. Needless to say, this thing stays within reach of the sink at all times now! :D" —IMP117777444

Promising review: "My husband came home and said, 'Why is there a penguin in our fridge?' It's a conversation piece, for sure! But it also does its job well. It can be a tad messy trying to pour baking soda into the penguin in the first place, but once it's in, the penguin actually takes up less space than a box of baking soda, which is nice." —LHD

Promising review: "At first I was skeptical to try this product due to all the hype of how it works, but I stand corrected. It works great! I was so surprised at just how well all the grime and junk got off the walls of my microwave. It's really simple to use and takes only minutes! It loosens all the sticky food residue so all you need to do is wipe clean. Pretty effortless! Great investment!" —Dalya Blech

Promising review: "I’m so thankful that my kids love to read! Whether it is at night or in the car on the trip, they love to have a book in hand.

Promising review: "I hate putting my hands near any caked-on foods when rinsing for the dishwasher and I hate touching washcloths or sponges so this was exactly what I needed. The flower design is super cute. Sometimes I wish the bristles were a little bit tougher but it still works pretty well." —Taylor Lewis

Promising review: "LOVE LOVE these!!! Not only are they cute and adorable, but also very functional. I bought these because of my frustration with other products I've tried that left marks on my hardwood floors. My chair legs are thick and I was worried they might not fit, but they stretched nicely and did not slip or slide off. I have tried several other options from rubber tips to felt pads and all of them fall or slide off after a while. We use our chairs every day, multiple times a day and they have not worn out. They very obviously prevent scratches. They look like the chairs have gotten socks to keep their legs warm with these cat paws. Excellent design and manufacture with a nice dose of whimsy. I will definitely buy more of these just to have as backup." —Zhangsu

I have these and they work surprisingly well! You just have to get a hang of using them because you need to hold them in a very specific way for them to snip properly. It's nice having some mini shears nearby at all times without them feeling like clutter.

Promising review: "Last year, the squirrels and birds ate all the mulberries off our tree before they were even ripened and ate about 25% of our apricots before we could pick them. When I saw these, I knew I had to get them. It's still early March so the apricot tree is just budding but the squirrels are active already so I hung these to start giving them the message that these two trees are off limits. The owls have an iridescent material which makes the owl change colors depending how the sun shines on it, which is sure to create notice to the unwanted critters. There are two bells hanging from the bottom. This evening, the two squirrels that were running around my backyard took off as soon as these were hung and haven't been back since. I was worried that maybe the bells would be annoying from inside my house but I can't hear them from inside. I look forward to having more mulberries and apricots this year due to these owls and scare rods!" —cslaughter1
