Promising review: "I was so happy when I got these, and I love how every single one is different! I also love how on each pack it tells me what it's for (brightening, firming, refining, moisturizing, nutrition, etc.). The liquid from these masks is thick and that's how I like mine to be. They make my face feel supple and soft afterward. I will definitely purchase again!" —Lys

Promising review: "For anyone wanting to turn an otherwise ~dead~ TV into something usable without a direct cable connection, and has WiFi in their home, this stick is a wonder. It has all the conveniences of your Amazon Prime account built into it with free movies and apps. I personally bought this for a TV we had sitting around that wasn't being used. I hooked it up inside of my mom's room where she now enjoys watching movies regularly at night. She absolutely loved it, and it makes a great gift option too for a family or friend who's into entertainment. Even without being an Amazon Prime member you can get a great value out of this device with all the free apps it comes with. I'd highly recommend this powerful streaming stick to anyone who wants to add a fully workable TV, without the costs of cable, to their own bedroom or guests room they may have inside the house." —Lolifoxer

Promising review: "These work amazingly well. I was surprised that you can charge and use them at the same time. I use them on planes to listen to the in-flight entertainment with my AirPods. I also use them to listen to music on my laptop with my AirPods. They work really well. Now, I don't have to carry my wired earbuds with me when I travel anymore. They really work as advertised. I have not had any issues with them since I started using them." —RPL

Promising review: "This book does not have recipes. It offers wonderful suggestions for what goes with what. Have you ever been staring at a chicken, tired of the same-ol-same-ol, wondering what to do for something different? This book has hundreds of suggestions. You have to be willing to try new combinations, but you won't regret it. Over the years we both have learned so much about flavors, what goes with what. My confidence in preparing meals for my family has grown steadily. If I could only keep five books this would be one of them. My husband and I have given this as housewarming gift three times. It has always been well received." —notinKSanymore

And make it a set with this Smoked Bacon Chipotle Sea Salt.
Promising review: "I am delighted with this diffuser. It came quickly, was packed securely and efficiently, with easy-to-open packaging. The specs say that it runs about three hours on the continuous setting (it can also run intermittently), but when filled completely, I've found it lasts through the night. I have it set on my nightstand and it's perfect for unwinding at bedtime (or with some sinus-clearing essential oils on a headache day)." —BookBelle
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in four colors). And if you're up for it, throw in a gorgeous set of essential oils they can use in their diffuser.
Promising review: "Best Christmas gift my dad ever received. About five years ago, my dad randomly asked if I could stop by the bookstore and see if there were any 'New York Times crossword books - but only the Mondays (because they're the easiest)!' My bookstore trip was unsuccessful, so imagine my surprise when I saw that this book DID exist! My dad, who is impossible to buy gifts for, is blowing through this book and back on his crossword game! He's already bought the Tuesday book." —Lauren
Get it from Amazon for $10.79 (also available for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday — but they get harder as the week goes on, FYI). And if you want, give the gift of custom pencils — unless they're bold enough to do the puzzle in pen.
Promising review: "Yooooo these British people know what's up! Dat Double Decker doe 😱😱😱 But seriously, these candy bars are amazing! I had my doubts about the Picnic bar but it's really, really good. Personal favorite so far (still two I haven't eaten yet) was the Starbar. Peanut butter, caramel, rice crispy pieces, chocolate... What's not to love, really? Why the heck don't they sell these in America dammit?! I threw mine in the fridge as soon as I got them. I pull one out about a couple of minutes before I eat it, so it's still cool and doesn't melt all over the place. Works great. This chocolate really does MELT on contact with just about anything that's not refrigerated. Be forewarned, don't eat ANY of these candy bars while wearing white. But also keep it in mind when taking bites. Smaller bites are better. Otherwise, you might find yourself with a huge mouthful of semi-melted chocolate and nougat, trying not to drool. Er, that might potentially happen to someone other than me." —So & So So & So
Get it from Amazon for $14.90 (available in a bag or box). You can also get a small tub filled with snack-sized treats.
Light is touch-controlled and comes with a 15-hour battery.
Promising review: "Love love love this! You can turn the light on and off by smacking it, clapping at it, smacking the table, squeezing the lamp, so many options! I bought it as a last-minute birthday gift for a friend, figuring she'd open it, like it, and put it in her bag to take home. But it was such a hit! Five grown adults sat around the living room fighting over a night-light, haha." —MeowAllieCat

Sampler includes eight tea drops, two of each: Energizing Matcha Green Tea (Caffeinated), Calming Rose Earl Grey (Caffeinated), Refreshing Citrus Ginger (Caffeine-Free), and Cooling Sweet Peppermint (Caffeine-Free).
Promising review: "Tea Drops + an electric kettle makes for a super simple and mess-free way to prepare your tea. Especially in the mornings when you're getting yourself together or in a hurry. Taste is on point, doesn't need any sweeteners. Overall very smooth teas. You do get a few tea particles at the bottom of your cup, which I thought might be an issue, but it turned out not to be troublesome at all. I would definitely recommend it!" —Arpan
Get the pack of eight from Amazon for $16.99+ (also available in packs of 25). Make it a gift set with an electric kettle and really cute tea cup.
Promising review: "This thing is awesome! Yes, it can hurt, especially on those really tight areas, but I love it anyway. You can feel the blood start racing through your body, great for circulation. Takes a few minutes to adjust your body to the right position when lying on your back. I lay on it in all different ways. Pull your legs up when on your back to get the middle of your back and spine. I love standing on it — the hip area hurts but I do it anyway. If you're really a trooper, kneel on it. I use it almost every day and I only wear underwear when I use it. This was a great price and it came with a bolster pillow. I've ordered more for friends." —Kelly

Promising review: "These wine aerators are FABULOUS! I do wine demos for different wineries and I don't always have time to let a bottle of wine breathe properly before a demo starts. These greatly enhance the flavor and it makes all the difference in the world. My sales numbers increased greatly. And you can't beat the price!" —Ash Bash

Promising review: "Bought a set as a gift for my son and daughter-in-law who have just begun trying to discover their heritage. There are two charts in the package, one for each of them, and they seem to be very much enjoying them. Shipping was very fast, items just as advertised. I would definitely purchase from this seller again." —C. Simpson

Promising review: "I tend to shy away from spicy foods, but I couldn’t resist the opportunity to try a new condiment to liven up snacks and recipes with. I was afraid the spice would be overpowering, but it’s actually quite mellow and smooth; just the right touch of heat. So far, I’ve enjoyed this on fruit salad (banana/strawberry/blueberry) with cottage cheese and drizzled on the original Chick-fil-A sandwich....so delicious!" —Sleeps in Rain
Get it from Amazon for $8.48.
Promising review: "Love, love, love this robe! It really is plush and luxurious. Hubby and I wear this at night before getting into our swim spa and use it to dry off after getting out. It's even plusher than our bath towels. It is thicker, so if you are looking for a robe to wear during a warm day, this is not it." —Jocelyn Shade
Get one robe from Amazon for $29.99 (available in S-XL and in gray, white, and blue).
Promising review: "I bought one of these for a Christmas gift, everyone had to try it out, and everyone wanted it! I bought another almost immediately for someone who had raved about it at the Christmas Party and was going through a stressful spot. She was thrilled with the gift and said it was perfect for the circumstances. Much better than a casserole or vase of flowers. Both of these have been loved and greatly enjoyed! This is a nice for targeted areas (lower back, shoulders, neck, glutes, legs, etc.) and I love that it has a heated and unheated option. Also love that it shuts itself down after 20 minutes, a good safety feature. I will say that the massage function is very firm, which is great for some areas and not so great for bonier spots — like ankles, wrists. This pillow is very firm, not really a pillow at all, which keeps the massaging area in place. It is comfortable to recline on, or prop a leg up on, but it's more for support than cushioning." —J. D. Robinson

Promising review: "I love these shot glasses — always a huge hit at parties. They’re durable, easy to clean, and a great conversation piece. They’re also good for portioning out cocktails. I especially like the larger capacity of these guys. I use them all the time, for cocktails and for cooking as well!" —Mitch F.
Get it from Amazon for $19.47.
Promising review: "I got a pair of these in a size medium for Christmas 2016 and I have worn and washed them a lot. Some shrinkage but very little and not enough that it matters to me. I ordered myself another pair for Christmas 2017 in the same size because I love this brand and I could count on the size fitting me — and I like to get pajamas at Christmas. I wear size 6-8 pants, med tops, so size medium in these PJ’s is spot on. The quality of these is excellent. The flannel is really nice quality too. Highly Recommend!!" —JJenkins
Get them from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes XS-2XL and in 16 designs). And check out these flannel PJs in men's sizes.
Promising review: "These stickers are freaking glorious. I got it as a gift for my sister and she loves them. Now to find a place to slap all these stickers on. The stickers aren't the thickest, I believe they are two mil vinyl but they are vinyl so they will hold up over time. It doesn't seem that they are UV protected so you might run into fading down the road if used outside or on your car window, but for the price of a whole stack of stickers — it's definitely worth it. A chance to throw meme stickers in public spaces is a welcomed task at hand, *dadjokeincoming* just don't get into any sticky situations with the police." —davidbuysthings
Get the set from Amazon for $7.98. There is also this great set if you wanna get them an even hundred stickers.
There is also an awesome set for all those Friends fans out there.
Promising review: "I LOVE the minimalist yet feminine look to this ring. It is a very small piece yet it really makes a statement! Did you know that smaller rings make your fingers look longer?? It's true! Anyway, I have washed my hands a number of times wearing this ring and the color is still fine. Really love this ring! Can't beat the price!!" —Dobler

Promising review: "I’d read the great reviews for this and was hopeful it would help increase sleep time and comfort, and wow! Before I received this weighted blanket, according to my Fitbit, I was averaging about four and a half hours of sleep per night due to pain. My first night with this blanket and I slept over seven hours!! Same for my second night. This is so comfortable and comforting. I’m recommending this to everyone I know!" —Jamie Eubanks

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in sizes S-XL and in six designs).
Promising review: "I purchased six of these as Christmas gifts for my six nephews as they love listening to music. Oh my heck what a winner these were! They LOVED them! There is a suction cup on the back so you can stick it to the shower wall and listen to your music while in the shower or tub. According to my nephews, it will skip to the next song simply by saying 'skip' which they thought a great feature! These were a huge hit and I highly recommend them as they are durable and seem to operate well in high humidity (shower). My nephews' age range from 12 to 22 but this will be a great gift for anyone who loves listening to music and sometimes wants to hear it without headphones." —Sarcomeres
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
Promising review: "Killed the first batch (forgot to water). Killed a second (accidentally used contaminated water). Now on the third batch from the same kit and they still pop up fast and in days. It seems they've forgiven me for killing their brethren." —Andrew Kantor
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (also available in a Bonsai Tree kit and a Pepper Starter kit).
Promising review: "This thing is a game-changer! I got it because I got tired of being owned by my phone. It used to be the last thing I checked before going to bed, and the first thing I would check in the morning. No more! Now I can leave the phone charging across the room (or in a handbag even. Who cares?) I can set this for the 'sun to set' at 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes later. So I set it, and I get in bed and read a book for an hour. Then the 'sun goes down' gradually, and I go to bed. Eight hours later, the 'sun' starts coming up gradually. So gradually, that at the beginning, you don't even notice. And you can set sounds in addition to the 'sunrise' effect: birds chirping, ocean waves, classical music, or FM radio (although why on earth would you choose FM radio?). You can set two different wake-up 'alarms'. It doesn't even feel right to call them alarms, because it's not obnoxious or loud. It doesn't jolt you awake. You wake up gradually. This thing is perfect. I'm reading more, sleeping a lot better, and I don't even remember anymore to grab my phone to check social media in the mornings. In fact, sometimes I'll be at the office, and it'll be noon before I realize I left my phone in the car. Drop the dependency on cell phones. It's ridiculous. We're like that movie, Wall-E. Get this and improve your life and your quality of sleep." —Mimi 5000
Get it from Amazon for $125.
Promising review: "Very good quality, soft, warm, and thick. It is a combination of cashmere and wool but it's not very itchy for this sensitive woman. It truly kept me warm at a very overly air-conditioned wedding reception. I purchased the rose-red color, which is a vivid fuschia and it is beautifully vibrant and accurately portrayed in the picture. Love it!" —Carol Figueroa
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in seven colors).
Promising review: "Oh, the places we've been! I love this shadow box! It is well made, cute, and is going to look nice on the wall. I put stuff in it immediately and my boyfriend thinks it is already full! Might have to buy another one! I think this is a great way to display evidence of all the places we have gone to and remember all the adventures. We are not big on souvenirs or tour T-shirts so this a different and compact alternative." —Maureen

Get them from California Social Hour on Amazon Handmade for $14.99.
Promising review: "I have to admit that I was already a Cuisinart fan as I own a Cuisinart outdoor grill and have given two as wedding gifts. I was anxious to receive the new outdoor pizza maker as we live out in the country without the option of pizza delivery; so all of my past attempts at pizza making was with a boxed mix. My husband had the pizza maker assembled (along with the stand that is sold separately) and heated before the dough had even finished rising. Only have one recommendation, READ the Pizza Making Guide that includes several informative tips, especially the one suggesting to use cornmeal on the peel. We’re pizza-making pros now (by the second batch) and started experimenting with different recipes. When not in use I like the design that mirrors the cosmetics of my outdoor grill." —Kris F
Get the set from Amazon for $24.97.
Promising review: "I love this sweater. It has become one of my favorite sweaters to wear. At first, when I opened the packaging I was a little disappointed because it is fluffier then it looks in the pictures. But the more and more I wear it I like it, I love it. I also just washed it and it held up amazing. I put it in for the normal wash and normal dry time and it didn't shrink or lose its fluff or anything. It's actually a really great sweater. I usually wear a large in sweaters and I bought a large, it fits a little big but I like it that way. I am 5'5" tall and weigh about 167 pounds. It definitely hides the belly area if you're on the chubbier side like me. I just had a baby and my belly is still big and this sweater hides it well." —T. Cothey
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in sizes S-XXL and in 21 styles).
Promising review: "I guess I have no concept of scale — I thought I would get a bigger skillet that could fit maybe two eggs but I got this cute little thing! It is as big as the palm of my hand, but so well made. I seasoned it when I got it and I was able to cook an egg in it — but I scrambled it and I didn’t put all of it in there so I could still stir it. I think it would be perfect for drawn butter for lobster and I was really thinking I would put it on my tree as an ornament! A perfect gift, could be a spoon rest too!" —B Pawlowski
Get it from Amazon for $4.99+ (available in nine sizes and with a cover). And if you want to be super generous pick up some accessories to help them cook up a storm with their new cast iron, like a silicone handle, a pan scraper, cast iron oil, and a stainless steel cleaner.
Promising review: "Like most other reviewers, I am EXTREMELY PLEASED with these gloves. They are as soft as butter and warm to boot! I have pretty small hands, but not tiny — the 'one size fits most gloves' are typically a little big on me and long in the fingers. Based on other reviews, I ordered both the medium and small sizes of these gloves. The small were a much better fit. For reference, I wear a small size in lab gloves (can wear XS, but don't like a super tight fit). I am so impressed with these that I'm planning on purchasing another pair for my mother-in-law." —Liz G.
Get them from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 14 colors).
Set includes 12 fluid ounces of baby shampoo and wash, 6 fluid ounces of baby lotion, 4.5 fluid ounces of baby oil, 2 ounces of baby balm, 50ct baby wipes, and a 100% cotton washcloth.
I personally use many of these products, even though I am not a baby (I just act like one). The baby balm is a miracle for dry feet and the baby oil is great for giving you a little hydration when you're showing off some skin. I have very sensitive skin and break out when almost anything touches my skin but this stuff has been amazing — my new holy grail. Plus it's cruelty-free, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly!

Promising review: "Apple hit a home run with these, I wanted the original AirPods but couldn't get them to fit in my ear. I have tried other true wireless earbuds and never liked the look or fit of them. With the AirPods Pro, Apple has answered my prayers, and they're even better than I could have imagined. The sound cancellation is LEGIT. The sound quality is very good for me. I'm by no means an audiophile but I'm a little picky as far as this goes and I'm more than pleased. The ability to switch from noise-canceling to transparency mode is awesome as well." —TCC

Promising review: "I love that I can pick the different types of massage based off of what muscles I want to work on. My husband does physical labor for work and it’s nice for him to be able to tell me what hurts, and I just look up techniques that work on that specific area. The instructions are also easy to read and follow for someone inexperienced." —Haley

Are you gonna tell me that the perfectly harmonized voices of All-4-One reminding you of how you were read Cinderella, and how you hoped it would come true, that one day your Prince Charming would come...rescue you, doesn't just remind you of 9-year-old you singing into the mirror imaging Nick Carter taking you to prom?

Promising review: "This bag is a necessity for a trip to Europe! The material is really nice it looks and feels great, and it held up really well for my trip! I kept my passport in the inside zip compartment of the main pocket, important items in the main compartment, water in one outside side pocket, and anti-bacterial wipes in the other. The best part is that the backpack becomes a shoulder bag, needed for when tourist attractions don’t allow a bag on your back (Buckingham Palace). Also one day I had to walk a bit in the rain and my contents stayed dry! I felt very safe and secure with my items in this bag! I want every color!" —JESSICA MARO

I tried it out myself before wrapping it, and it sounded amazing! The tune was so clear, and there was no damage to the music strip. The actual box itself was of good quality as well. He loved it so much! I recommend it as a gift for any fan of GoT." —Cynthia Kline
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in seven styles).
Promising review: "Loved this product. So easy to use. Everything is in one — no plug with pump. It stays on and keeps the bubbles in champagne and all carbonated wines. It does not pop off or leak if you lay the bottle back on its side in the refrigerator. It's metal and very strong. Love that you just need to pump the top to take out the air. Great for picnics and BYOBs. Plus it DOES NOT LEAK!" —C. Glidden
Get the bottle sealer from Amazon for $8.97.
Promising review: "I didn’t know I could love a sleep mask so much! I’ve used several over the years, but this one takes the cake. I don’t wake up until mid-morning when the sun is incredibly bright (and my bedroom has a lot of windows). This sleep mask is not only soft and comfortable, but it also blocks the light SO well! On the nose part, you can push it down along the sides of your nose, to make sure no light gets in. It is really efficient and feels so nice on my skin. Bonus: it comes with a little fabric holder where you can fold the mask, and fit it right inside! I flew last week, and it was so nice not to worry about the mask getting dirty. I can not recommend this sleep mask enough! If you aren’t convinced yet, GET IT. You won’t be disappointed." —Lyndsay Marvin
Get it from Amazon for $9.98 (available in two colors).

Promising review: "The book layout, the durability of the non-Lego paper components, the directions on how to fold the paper components, etc., are thoughtfully done. I supported my 7-year-old grandson's effort to build the first project. His greatest joy (and it was a great joy) was the moment that the first project functioned properly after several complete and partial failures. Then again once the chain reaction was easily repeatable so he could show his parents. After having some success he was excited about doing more projects. This is radically different than just sticking Lego pieces together and it's not easy. It's elementary physics of motion, weight, angle, momentum, etc. It appears that these complicated chain reactions are fun for children to assemble, challenging to make fully, reliably functional, and thrilling once they work for that first time. It's all good stuff!" —tenor1

Promising review: "Purchased this as a gift and was surprised at the quality. It works well and takes up less counter space. If you have little ones in the house you will have to be sure that they can't reach it. The stainless band across the front gets hot. The recipient is happy with it." —Wannie

Promising review: "This is a sure-fire, jump-up-and-down, and wiggle-in-excitement Christmas gift for the niece. She’s been asking for this set since she was 3! I’ve always been amazed that she knew about Harry Potter from so young. My deal was that she’d get the set once she was a little older and a great reader. She started reading early and she is now a full grade ahead of her class in reading. I’m going to credit some of her accomplishments to her sincere desire to join Hogwarts. There’s no need to attest to the greatness of this story; you’d have to live under a rock to not know about the acclaim of the Harry Potter series. Instead, I will say that the set arrived in great condition. The box is sturdy and keeps all of the books organized." —Candi
