From warm-weather dresses to magnetic measuring spoons to infectious disease coloring books: an eclectic mix of some *really awesome* things.
Promising review: "Very happy with this product. Fits nicely underneath to hold the cup without dangling too low and the fact that I can just Command Strip attach it to the bottom of the detergent means that it can't/won't slip off the head of the dispenser, as many similar alternatives have been reviewed to do." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "The perfect warm weather dress. Purchased for an upcoming cruise and it will be a welcome addition to the few clothing items I plan on taking. The fabric looks like linen but is actually a cotton/poly blend with a bit of spandex for stretch. The top is the only part that feels stretchy. The fabric is medium weight. Not too thin or thick. I love the styling, it's conservative yet slightly flirty. It’s like a modern twist on Little House on the Prairie, evoking a romantic innocence, without looking dowdy. The belt is a separate piece, wear with or without. I’m 5’6", 130 pounds, and a size medium fits just right. The best part is I don’t feel I need to wear a bra with this dress. The top hugs well and gives me all the support I need." —Digicabin Family

Promising review: "I love this thing! It is quite sturdy and has no issues holding lots of ravioli, tortellini, or any other shaped pasta. One note, it does not do well with long spaghetti. It is also great for grabbing veggies out when I blanch them in water or chicken breasts I have poached. I was injured in an automobile accident and my hands are not in great condition. This has made having to use tongs for some things no longer necessary. It has also — almost totally — made lifting heavy pots full of liquid, unnecessary. Cooking is therapy for me and to find any tools which make it easier for me, is fantastic! I highly recommend this scoop to anyone needing a little help in the kitchen, or who just wants to not have to pull out strainers all of the time." —Kayce Cawthon McCarty

Promising review: "I regret not purchasing this sooner! My red marks have diminished, there haven't been any acne flare-ups and my skin is so much smoother. I've used TATCHA, which is also good but when using Hanalei I've noticed that my skin isn't as tight. So in a way, Hanalei seems to work better than the higher end products for me. So much more reasonably priced than TATCHA too. I will definitely purchase again." —wanda

Promising review: "Don't hesitate, these four salts are mind-blowing. This purchase is my first venture into the world of fine/exotic salts, and I am not at all disappointed. These four salts are incredibly versatile and diverse: the pink is the brightest, the red is the sweetest, the black is the hottest, and the gray is the creamiest. I'm not gonna get into those 'jalapeno' or 'garlic' or 'wine' flavor-infused salts. I'm by far and away more intrigued by different salts that have naturally developed on our earth — like these four." —Shlar47

Promising review: "I bought this mount to add a 10" monitor onto my laptop at work when I am portable. The item works as a simple clamp attaching the two surfaces together by the bezel. The mount has a slight curve to it so that the extra monitor curves towards me slightly. The mount does cover a small portion of both screens, so I had to change the resolution of the smaller screen in order to read all the text." —slapstar

Promising review: "I have been using cheap flimsy little metal scoops that my son likes to steal and wanted something more functional. I like that these have the two ends, sometimes a recipe needs the same sized tsp for two different ingredients and it's annoying to have to wash for every single one. This resolved that! The magnet is not very strong at all. It holds them together but alone they won't sick on the fridge or my metal bowls, only a metal surface if it's wide and if there's no gravity to oppose the magnet (on top of an edge but not on the side of anything)." —Lisa

Promising review: "Received my ice socks yesterday after being on my feet all day. I froze them overnight (they came with gel packs inserted in the socks and instructions said to freeze them that way). I am currently resting with my feet elevated and socks on. They are very cold, especially in the toe area. I ordered these because I have a lot of swelling on the top of my right foot. The socks are made with gel-pack toe pockets, which is not the area I need the most help with, so I moved the gel pack halfway out to better cover the top of my foot and that is working well for me. These socks are very nice and well-made of a soft, comfortable, stretchy fabric. I wear a size 8.5 women's and ordered the small/medium. They were easy to put on with the gel packs inserted and a very good fit, not too small or too large. I've been wearing them for about 30 minutes and they are still fairly cold. I would highly recommend for anyone with foot problems needing ice. They're easy, convenient, and non-messy. Just what I was looking for!" —Texas Gigi

Promising review: "I've been eyeing this same tool from Pampered Chef but it's so pricy I didn't want to take the plunge. When I found this one on Amazon and saw how much more reasonably priced it was, I decided to go for it. I've used it a few times since purchasing and it is awesome! Works just as well as I envisioned the pricier version to work and I love that it didn't cost an arm and a leg. I am happy that this comes in red as it matches the other kitchen tools and theme of my kitchen! Thanks for making cooking with ground meat so much simpler." —Genetics

Promising review: "My husband and I did this together. We both did exactly what the box said. My loving husband 'painted' my face with it and removed it for me. Not going to lie, the peach fuzz I have down around the sides of my face hurt coming off. I would stick to just the nose and chin next time. I could actually feel the mask hardening on, which was cool. It left my face slightly pink afterward, but it felt fresh and cool, definitely cleaned the pores." —Veronica Cuellar

On a personal note, I just bought this cutie for a family visit and my niece literally stole it from me. It looked great on her.
Promising review: "I LOVE this dress. This is adorable, pretty, and fun to wear. Color and pattern are true to the image. I am 5'5", 128 lbs., 32C, and I ordered a small in the blue/green and it fits great. The zipper is cheapy, so be careful. The top is see-through but if you wear a nude bra or pale blue bra under, it's not so noticeable. I kinda like the fact that the top is slightly see-through, it's flirty. The bottom half is lined and hits mid-thigh. I have long legs and short/medium torso." —jstevens

Promising review: "I am a tea addict. So when I saw Tea Drops I was intrigued, they are unlike any tea I have seen before so I decided to give them a try. I was surprised at how much I loved them! Simply drop the tea drop in boiling water and viola, a perfect cup. They are perfectly sweetened, not too sweet, just a fun and easy way to make tea. These would make such a cute wedding favor or even to serve them at a tea party. I highly recommend these!" —Stephenia Bosch

Promising review: "Whoever made these cards is savage! Everyone wearing a shirt with buttons drinks. You better be wearing a T-shirt, lol. If you are looking for a fun drinking game to add to your collection of Jenga and Cards Against Humanity, these are it. A really fun game that doesn't require much thought, and mostly an excuse to drink with friends while your favorite Spotify playlist plays in the background. Cute logo and quality cards that won't get soggy if you accidentally spill on them. There are only 100 cards, so an expansion deck might be nice. These cards WILL get you drunk." —Joey

Promising review: "I sometimes get suckered into kitchen gadgets that I never use, but this thing is awesome! Keeps the counter clean, you can either scoop the parts you want to put in the trash into this (strawberry stems, onion peels, etc.), or you can put the parts you want to use in here to make them easier to dump into the pan (broccoli florets, chopped peppers, onions, etc.). Makes it so much easier than trying to scrape chopped veggies off the cutting board into the pan and spilling them all over. Love this thing!" —*BeckyC*

Promising review: "Actually did not order this for a bra extender, I ordered it for my compression garment which was too, too tight between the crotch snap area and hurt me so badly. I snapped the extender on the crouch area, it was very easy to do and now I have plenty of room to adjust to my desire. Fits very comfy, satisfied with my purchase. 😃" —queenb276

Promising review: "My job requires me to sit practically all day at work which caused me to become very restless and give me back problems. I couldn't sit still for five minutes without adjusting myself. I also began to worry about the bad posture I could be having because of it as well. I found this and gave it a shot. I've only had it for a little more than a week but the difference with it has been amazing! I can sit at my desk all day long without feeling discomfort or back pain. It sits neatly on my chair without looking too noticeable, and now my biggest problem is trying to keep my co-workers from stealing it from me. $20 for this thing is honestly a steal! So worth it!" —MeLissa

Promising review: "These pen loops are exactly what you'd expect. They secure to a notebook using a 3M backing tape, so there's no concern of the loop coming undone from the notebook, short of you physically prying it off. The square piece that secures to the notebook has a textured leather kind of feel, although I'm positive it's just actually a piece of cardboard, it's functional and still looks good. The loop itself has a strong elastic that will stretch to fit any size pen and has a soft, non-abrasive fabric feel so you shouldn't have to worry about it scratching your pen if that's something you'd worry about. All in all, it works great. While there are fancier pen loops around, these ones work fantastic and they're more cost effective if you plan on going through notebooks. I have not attempted it, but if you plan on removing the loop after the notebook is filled up, you may have some difficulties. The 3M tape is rather secure. However, it's unintrusive enough that it doesn't bother me. If you're trying to keep your writing organized, starting here is not a bad idea." —Kevin Kreiner

Promising review: "I decided to try this to cover up some of the chips of missing paint in my kitchen. It works perfectly.

Promising review: "I thought it was going to be way harder to change a zipper, but it took no time at all!! It took me much longer to read and re-read the instructions than to change out the zipper!! Included in this pack are five pairs of commonly used big zippers. A black and silver of each type. Also included are the top stoppers that you will need once you rip off the old ones and a very in-depth guide to fixing all sorts of zipper problems. They even tell you how to fix zippers that don't require parts from the set!!! There are interesting zipper facts, which was surprisingly fun to read about. After replacing the zipper, I felt so proud of myself. I wish I hadn't put this project off for so long. I just thought it was going to be harder!!! Afterward, I found myself digging around trying to find more zippers to replace. Time to get rough with some jackets." —Nibbles

Promising review: "Unlike a flashlight or lantern, this 60w bulb can light a room! The light is warm, not the cold blue of emergency lights. It is rechargeable, has a portable attachment, or you can just screw it into a lamp at home and, if the power goes out, it lights up (if the switch on the lamp is turned on). I am buying more as gifts for others." —Jane Shoemaker

It fits larger bottles such as OPI and Orly well. Nicole bottles fit but just barely. The last row on each side is adjustable if you have a few larger bottles otherwise, three regular bottles of polish will fit in that row." —JB

Promising review: "Really great guide to houseplants. I am an experienced outdoor vegetable gardener, who has never had much success with houseplants. The only one I've ever been able to keep alive is, George, my un-killable Aspidistra (Iron Plant). Thanks to this book and the more detailed, but less cute, book Practical Houseplants I now have a little forest of air cleaning plants, succulents, retro '70s plants (rubber plant and Swiss cheese plant), and even two indoor banana trees — all healthy and happy. Even George is happier than ever, with new leaves." —Jo

Promising review: "We have a 75 lbs, 28" tall at the shoulders Goldendoodle with curly hair and large paws, and a brand new yard on the coast that is 95% sand. In the past three months, I've been wiping his paws ineffectively and spending most of my housekeeping time sweeping/vacuuming all the sand that he brings in and deposits on our hard floors. Our new veterinarian, upon hearing me whine about the situation, recommended I buy this product because she uses it with her own dogs. From the first time I used it, I was sold! It looks like one of those oversized water jugs you can get at a convenience store, with a fitted insert for paws and legs. I stuck my hand (and my kids') inside to try it out and the bristles inside are very soft, and will not hurt sensitive paw pads. The rubber piece at the top made it tricky to pull my hand out (it reminded me of the scene in Where The Red Fern Grows with the raccoon who gets its hand stuck in a log because it won't let go of a shiny piece of tin), but that's helpful in wringing some of the water off the furry paws. Our dog is used to having his feet handled many times a day and it only took a few minutes to teach him what we were doing. But if you have a dog who is jumpy/twitchy or doesn't like having its paws touched, this might not be the right product for you." —Heather

Promising review: "I have a number of necklaces whose clasps are so tiny that I have trouble connecting them, so I was looking for magnets that would be strong enough to support a chain and pendant that were fairly valuable. This turned out to be a winner! I can sleep and shower with it on and never have to worry about it becoming detached. I actually have to tug a bit to get it to unlatch. Of course, I can't guarantee it will never come detached, but this more than filled my hopes for a magnetic clasp." —EDC

Promising review: "I love this compost bin! It is very well designed. They actually tested all aspects of it. The one-handed operation is SO much better than having to lift off a lid like my old steel compost bin. The lid flips up/down very easily. The lid removes when you want to empty it out. The plastic inside is super smooth so there are no nooks or crannies for food to get caught. Most of the waste simply slips off and then you can just rinse it and you are good to go. I don't have to buy compost bags anymore either. There is no smell when it is on the counter. The one thing I would improve (and I'd give it four 1/2 stars if I could because of this) is that it is too small. I think it could be twice as big — a little wider and a little taller would be great. Otherwise, it really is a great product. I was worried about it looking tacky on my counter because it is plastic, but is so well designed that it even looks classy on my granite counter!" —Susanne M. Millar

Promising review: "Does exactly what it says. Rather than getting spackel, waiting for it to dry, sanding it down, and tweaking as needed — this cuts the time/effort down! Just rub over the place in need of patching and wipe off the excess. The hardest part is not accidentally getting the product on parts of the wall that don’t need it, but that’s easy to clean up, so it’s not a problem. I used this to patch holes in the wall from a former Wi-Fi router and modem, other than the color difference from the patch to the paint, you’d never know it was patched. Great price, easy to use." —Amanda

Promising review: "These went beyond my expectations. My husband and I just started keto several weeks ago and I’ve been hearing about these mixes. I was skeptical, but my curiosity and sweet tooth led me to try it. It does not disappoint!! So yummy and fudgy. Even the little bit of batter that I tasted was like the real thing. I baked them according to the fudgy instructions and added a little vanilla and a 1/2 cup of Lily’s chocolate chips. They are so fudgy and soft! Just be sure to cook completely before cutting." —Dana Reitz

The mixer is easy to hold, had a large variety of mixing tools included. Very strong but not super heavy but feels solid. All the units parts, including the mixer itself, fit in an included clear storage container that locks in good. No more hunting in drawers for all the mixing tools anymore!" —pete c
