Promising review: "We had a ballgame today where it was 30 degrees; one minute it was raining then it would turn to snow. While everyone else was freezing cold I was warm and toasty — I only had a long-sleeve shirt and yoga pants on while everyone else was layered up. I had extra stuff with me but I put it on the floor of the pod 'cause I was so warm. Others had three or four blankets on top of their layers of clothes. I put a small propane heater in there and it felt like I was sitting in my living room. I highly recommend this product as I am a very happy customer! I’ve looked at them for years but always backed out and finally decided it was time to get it. I will never sit out in a cold snowy or rainy ballgame ever again." —Jeff & tennille chambers

Promising review: "Love love love this jacket. I bought it last-minute in desperation; none of my old winter gear fits. It’s plenty comfy and super warm even for -15-degree temperatures in New York's harsh winters. The hood is so cute and soft and warm around the face. The zips at the hip are perfect to open when sitting down and give that extra room, which doesn’t put a booty bump in your coat. It can be zipped up again to stop the wind on a walk. Great buy!" —Bernadette Ocallaghan

8. A giant snow broom so when a fresh snowfall buries your car you can quickly (and safely) excavate it without getting cold and wet in the process.
Promising review: "Why did I not get one of these sooner? Lightweight, easy to use, and clears off my SUV in no time. Only good for the 'fluffy' snow, not the icy stuff, but makes life so much easier if you live in a snowy region. Far faster clean off than the ice-scraper brushes I used before, and far less stretching to angle into the high/weird spots that can be tough to reach without one. After a season of use (and many snowfalls, some small, some HUGE), mine barely looks used, the foam is pretty sturdy if you're reasonably careful with it. I especially love it for cleaning off the top of my SUV. This makes it easy and fast the ensure my roof is clear from any dangerous chunks of snow that could fly off my car while I'm driving and become a hazard to others on the road. Just a bunch of swipes and I'm good to go there. It takes me roughly one-fourth of the time to clear my car with this as opposed to one of the traditional brushes. I love this thing so much, I plan to buy more for gifts for my family for the holidays next year." —Utterly Undead Reads (and sometimes more)

One of the best buys for me from Amazon." —Gary P

Promising review: "I was extremely skeptical if this light would do anything. I live in the Chicago area where during the winter we often do not get any sun. After about 10 days passed with no sun, I felt like I needed something to make me feel better. After using it for a few days now I actually do feel better and I had VERY low expectations that it would do anything. I'm pleasantly surprised and highly suggest it. It's small and sits on my desk, and is very easy to work." —Jeff S. Katz

Promising review: "I foster kittens for a rescue, and no matter how often I clean the boxes — two or three times daily, and general cleaning — I still have an odor in the room. I got this product out of desperation. It was a good size and weight for kitties bouncing around. I am truly shocked and enormously happy with how it works! My husband was at wits' end with his sensitive nose. He goes in there now and is astonished — no smell. We are getting another for the kitchen! I also enjoy the nightlight.

Promising review: "I was skeptical, but this product amazed me. I plan to buy a bunch for Christmas presents. Quality materials and function beautifully. I purchased for a winter trip but started using immediately during a cold snap. I walked around a lake in freezing conditions. Turned these on in my pockets and couldn’t believe how well they work. Things I love: You can adjust the heat settings easily with a rubbery push button that isn’t easily triggered. You can see which setting it’s on with 1 to 4 red lights. I did not wear gloves and tried out each setting. They warm up quickly. Lowest setting was not lukewarm but warm enough for cold pockets. The highest setting gets really hot. Almost too hot to hold directly without a glove but not so hot you’ll get burned. I love that you can take your hands out of your pockets and hold them easily because they have a grippy side. I walked around for a bit with my hands out of pockets, and they didn’t get cold." —Angela Gil

Pink Miracle is a USA-based small biz that has been selling their gentle yet effective shoe cleaner for over 30 years.
Promising review: "Let me tell you…this is a miracle product for your sneakers. Spray some on your shoes and wait a little time for it to dry. I even went for a second coat and then I went out for a bachelor party weekend. Each day I would wake up not really remembering what happened, with god knows what on my shoes. I sprayed it off with a little water and was right back at it with some new-looking shoes. This is a great cleaning hack for your shoes and I will be a repeat buyer!

Promising review: "I’ve had this bottle for over a year! It’s lasted with my family through Disney World, Destin spring break, and every time we go to the pool! I’ve had some bad sunburns. I slather this on and reapply after it’s soaked in and I wake up with a deep tan. Whatever is in it is like magic!

The soft velour covers come with three heat settings.
Promising review: "Heaven on my bum! I somewhat pooh-poohed seat warmers and being that I don't have a new enough car for real seat warmers...this is the quickest and best solution. Every time I plug it in and it starts to warm up, I find myself saying 'AHHHH.' I only need the low setting (there is high and low) and I am warm-blooded anyway, so I find I don't need my heat on all the time anymore. Great value and it matches my interior." —skip

I am happy to report that this product is a lifesaver. My thighs didn't chafe once, and I have big ones! I had to reapply once during the day. I strongly recommend buying this if you have large thighs and need relief from chafing. I couldn't wear dresses or skirts in the heat if I was walking anywhere, and now I live in them because of this stuff! Buy it! It works!" —Carwizzle
Get it from Amazon for $5.99.

Promising review: "Holy grail. I've had a sinus congestion for close to three months now. I tried every nasal spray under the sun — Dymista, Atrovent, Flonase, and Astelin. I also tried Sudafed, Benadryl, Claritin, and Zyrtec. This is coming from someone who doesn't even take Tylenol for a headache. My congestion was so bad I'd wake up in the middle of the night, gasping for air. My ears rang nonstop from the fluid buildup. The postnasal drip did a number on my tonsils. We're in the middle of a pandemic right now, so I felt this was it for me. I'm on the second day of this nasal spray and this is the best I've felt in three months. This nasal spray is so effective that I forgot to take a Zyrtec this morning. I spent all morning outside, around plants, and didn't feel a thing. Needless to say, I'm going to be purchasing a lifetime supply of this product." —Helen
