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: "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

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!

Promising review: "What a beautiful book! I originally intended for this to be more of a research tool to help me decide future travel adventures. However, upon receipt, it's way more high-quality and beautiful than I was expecting. Now I don't want it to get beat up and am contemplating displaying it instead, lol! Just want to make sure everyone keeps their grimy hands off! Also, it came with a map that displayed where the top 100 places were located, which I wasn't aware was included. Neat surprise." —Nikki

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

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

Promising review: "I bought three of these wireless charging pads for a Samsung Galaxy Note 8, Samsung Galaxy S8, and an iPhone 8 based on the reviews. Let me tell you, I was not disappointed! The wireless charging pad worked flawlessly for all three phones and for the price it is a bargain compared to other brands. The biggest draw for me was that the simple LED light, which sits on the front the pad, is not overwhelmingly bright and does not draw attention to it. Once the phone is fully charged the light goes off so it does not constantly charge the phone for no reason. I highly recommend getting the wireless charging pad and it is well worth the asking price." —Gabby C

Promising review: "Bought this pillow as a gift for my spouse due to chronic neck issues. The pillow arrived promptly and I was amazed at how it puffed up beautifully after opening the packaging! I followed the directions and washed the outside casing before using it. Also aired the pillow out a good week in advance. My spouse loves the pillow. It's not dense, it's fluffy and somewhat soft for a side and back sleeper. Great purchase as I have a happy camper now who can get a good night's sleep!" —Marie Lanahan

Promising review: "I purchased this necklace as a gift for a friend who loves dinosaurs. It was super cute and the little saying on the paper is nice too. The T-rex itself is a little small but I liked that about it because it makes it more subtle when it's worn (I tend to like nerdy jewelry that is more subtle until people really see it up close). The recipient loved it and put it on right away too. :)" —melrom

Promising review: "It's cute and small, exactly what I was looking for. One thing that surprised me is, when I put it on, it was actually a little big on the finger it was chosen for. I may end up having to wear it on a different finger, but that's okay. I love that it's silver (I can't wear anything but silver or yellow gold) and does say .925 in teeny-tiny writing. The stars aren't perfectly straight, but I can deal with that. Overall, very happy with this ring." —Jessica

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.

Promising review: "IT WORKS and it works great. I use regular store brand yellow popcorn. My microwave is rated at 1200 watts with a glass turntable. It's average. I measure 1/4 cup of popcorn, dump it in the popcorn maker then set the top on and let it slide down to the ridge where it stops. Set the popper in the microwave set the timer for three minutes and when the popping sound almost stops I cancel the microwave. At that time I lift the lid and add a couple dollops of butter then leave the lid on to melt the butter. Then I remove the lid and sprinkle the popcorn with garlic salt and powered cheese. I toss the popcorn in the popper to mix the ingredients and use the popcorn maker as a serving bowl. I love this thing. It's very easy to use and cleans up with soapy water." —Bruce A

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

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

Promising review: "My fiance is incredibly happy with these. When she wears her hair down she likes to keep a ponytail holder on hand in case she wants to put her hair up, but she doesn't like the pressure and indentation left around her wrist. She uses the thicker Goody rubberbands, which fit nicely on this bracelet and look good too. She hasn't had any problems with the rubberbands slipping off, and they can be squeezed together to tighten around the wrist, but would probably be a bit too large for tiny wrists. It is a nice enough piece of jewelry that she will sometimes even wear them without needing the hair tie. Per her suggestion: Brown hair ties look good with the rose gold, but black would look better with the silver." —Rick Ideker

Promising review: "I use this at least three times a week. I got it as a Christmas present from my mom and it is the best! You can get so creative with these. I will say the first time you use it, it will have a plastic-burn smell at first, it will eventually go away. There is a light when it is ready, but you have to plug it in to turn it on and unplug it to turn it off." —alfe

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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: "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
