Promising review: "Love these!! Wore them in Iceland in 40-degree F temps, and they kept me toasty, even in the wind. They’re super soft and comfy. Highly recommend!" —ACB
"I had sort of low expectations but really hoped these would fit and look good. They were a little tight on the way up but they somehow fit my thicc size 18 thighs! Amazing! Also can't feel any cold chill through them. Some seriously warm leggings that really are one-size-fits-all!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "BEST PUZZLE EVER! My husband and I had so much fun doing this puzzle! The detail is incredible and it is so funny to look at all the different people in the scene and see what they are doing and see what’s going on. It’s funny because we kept seeing people that look like our family, friends, and neighbors in the puzzle. You will love this one!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍" —Stuart S.

Promising review: "These fish contain silver in a compound that dissolves slowly. Silver is bacteriostatic, it will not clean up a mess but it will seriously help prevent one unless your water source is not reasonably clean. Affluent Romans kept their water and wine in silver flasks for the same reason." —Robert Ezerman

Promising review: "This is seriously the coolest device of my winter holiday. It makes lighting candles a breeze. Yes, there is a weird crackling noise, but that's a super-minor annoyance. It's a super-intuitive device. Plug the lighter in with the USB (included), charge for a bit, then pop it open and light ALL THE THINGS; well, candles. I don't know how well it lights cigarettes or whatever. However, for my personal intended use, it's awesome!" —Jee W

Promising review: "First of all I am in love with the packaging of this product, it is so cute! The lip maximizer really works and sort of feels like you ate something spicy, it's a mild tingling sensation that only lasts for about 10 minutes or so. This has been a great addition to my self-care routine making my lips more voluminous and making the natural color show up more! I will most definitely be purchasing more when this runs out. The clear lip treatment is great for a nighttime routine lip mask to hydrate the lips overnight. Neither has much of a flavor, but this product is 10/10!" —Jessica

Promising review: "Ever since living in LA and having the luxury of going to their renowned 24-hour spas, I got spoiled. Now that I live in Seattle I wanted to find those glorious green hand mitts that I missed so much. Thank goodness for this seller. I've been buying their four-packs for almost a year now! They fit perfectly over your hand and make it easy to scrub off whatever sadness, stress, and gunk that has built up over the week. I not only use these mitts on myself but also my boyfriend and we love how amazing our skin feels after. If you're sensitive and fair like we are you certainly don't need to scrub more than once a week and NEVER after shaving when your skin is its most sensitive. However, they are great for BEFORE shaving to slough off that dead skin and get a much closer shave. These are a great and inexpensive way to try the experience at home before committing to the full treatment or cost. Bring the spa to you!" —Miranda

Promising review: "Two years ago I bought one for myself — best eye mask I ever had. Love, love the cool feeling and the beads that form to your face, giving you complete darkness. Then I bought some as Christmas gifts. Just recently my sister-in-law asked where I bought it — she needed another one and settling for others she found wasn't cutting it. After two years the elastic band has stretched some but I have my next one bought and waiting. Oh, and I bought my husband one this past Christmas so he would stop stealing mine." —Julie

Promising review: "I was on the fence about this item, but finally decided to splurge on a little gift to myself. This makes such a difference in my comfort level at the office. I often have to leave my desk to visit other departments and hated coming back to cold coffee, tea, or hot cocoa. I especially stopped drinking tea, because by the time you let your bag steep, it's cooled down. This product is simple but awesome and it makes me super happy. TIP: I keep a spare mug with some of those scented wax melts — break off a snap piece and let it melt and make the office smell goooood! (If your office is relaxed about stuff like that and nobody around is sensitive to it.)" —marymodern

Promising review: "I had strong doubts about trying a shampoo bar. I have very long, thick, curly hair, and the shampoo and conditioner work as well as my salon products. The shampoo lathers great and the conditioner actually works. I’m thoroughly impressed and will buy again and again. Thanks for making such a helpful product for the environment!!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "When I first unwrapped these, I was surprised by how sticky they felt just against the skin on my hands. Not 'tape' sticky, but ultra-grippy. I installed six of them along the sides of my runner after running a vacuum on the floor and a lint roller along the bottom of the rug itself. (I also tossed the completely useless rug pad I had underneath). When I first tested it, the rug slid. I thought for sure these wouldn’t work and I would come home to a crooked or folded up rug. Surprise!! These little babies settled right onto the hardwood floors and their grippy action is in full effect now. I have roommates, dogs, a handyman was even here today, and typically without fail the rug slides or folds up. Not today!! I’m going to be buying a half dozen more of these for bathrooms and other rugs!! Can’t say how they hold up to washing, but if you’re skeptical at first, just give them a chance to settle!" —Chelsea

Promising review: "I feel obligated to write a review about this. This is simply amazing. The two cabinet doors over the microwave hood had so much built-up grease, I almost wanted to replace the doors. Then I found this degreaser, sprayed it on, did not even let it sit for too long, I used Lysol sanitizing wipe to wipe it clean. Now the doors look brand-new!" —Tyler Wu

Promising review: "The sprayer is made with a high-quality glass container and a spraying nozzle capable of producing a very fine mist. This is perfect for coating baking pans with oil and other cooking needs. The trigger is smooth and easy to use. The slim profile makes it easy to store and doesn't clog up precious kitchen storage space." —K.K.

Promising review: "This keychain bracelet is a genius idea! Solves several daily annoying issues for me. It creates an easy way to keep keys accessible, they cannot get lost in the bottom of your purse and if you choose to slip the bracelet on your arm the keys are very easy to get to. Also, the attached pouch is ideal for keeping my company ID very handy to get to when I need to scan it for building access at my job. To top it off, it's very cute! Love mine!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review (for the cookbook): "Bought for someone’s Christmas gift and the cookbook is absolutely adorable and perfect for Disney lovers. The recipes are separated into chapters by park, and it includes a map of where in the park you can go buy the item. There are both sweet and savory recipes and the recipes for the iconic turkey legs are in here! I personally liked that there were recipes for the parks in California since I probably will never go to those parks but can still try the food." —Amanda K

Promising review: "I absolutely adore this throw. I read through the comments about it being rough; it's not meant to be cashmere and I don't find it rough in the least. It's soft as it should be based on the thread used. The tassels are not loose threads. I like the look and the unfinished metallic mustard thread adds character. It's a beautiful pattern and the throw works perfectly with my sofa. I can't wait to read my book and cuddle with it." —K. Gabriel

Promising review: "I use this product on my shower tile and I love it. It has no harsh chemical smell and the spray bottle dispenses the liquid smoothly and evenly.

Promising review: "You can see a difference although I have not been 100% faithful in using this product twice daily. It’s been five weeks and I’ve applied it maybe 80% of what I should have. It’s very quick and easy to apply but the best part is IT DOES NOT HURT! I’ve used many whitening products over the years and I’ve never had anything that was sensitive enough for my gums. For that reason alone I give it a million stars!" —Karbear

Promising review: "This book is SO much fun! It provides the answers to so many questions that are fun, interesting, and occasionally historical! The outline of the book is fairly simple. The question (sometimes silly, sometimes intriguing) is posed as a heading, and then there is a quick but detailed answer. These answers are a few paragraphs to a little over a page. The answers are concise but completely filled with great information. The title of the book suggests that all the questions might be crude or overly silly, but that’s not it at all! Although some of the questions are silly (for example besides the title, 'why don’t birds fall off branches when they’re asleep?' or 'why do dogs have wet noses?'), there are so many more kinds of questions in this book! Some of them are vaguely scientific (such as, 'what causes Parkinson’s Disease' or 'how does general anesthesia work'), while others are historical (such as, 'how did Mother’s Day originate?'). Although they are so different, all these questions are really interesting, with compelling answers and well-researched responses. I really enjoy this book. I expect it’s usually used as a 'bathroom reader' but I read it all in one sitting! It’s so much fun, and I learned a lot!" —Elizabeth Elle

Promising review: "My goddaughter is due to give birth soon. And while everyone is gifting gifts for her soon-to-arrive son, I decided she needed a little something for herself. I wanted her to have something to rejuvenate her in a long shower after a long day with a newborn. First-time moms need a little pampering too. My goddaughter smelled the scent from the unopened box and LOVED them." —Gidget007

Promising review: "I wanted to replace old slippers since I'm wearing them much more while working from home, and I'm so glad I settled on these! I've hardly taken them off in the several days since they arrived. They're perfectly cozy and keep my feet warm without being too hot on more mild-temperature days. They look great, too; I love the tan suede look. The soles are solid enough there's some support, and I can run outside to the mailbox or trash can in them. But they're not super bulky, so they're still comfy to wear around inside all day." —Tigs1781

Promising review: "I can't believe I'm posting a picture of my foot to Amazon, but there's a first time for everything I guess. Being a New Yorker, I'm used to walking A LOT, and as a result, my feet were dry, callused, and just plain disgusting. I wouldn't even touch my feet and was embarrassed to wear sandals. I didn't want to pay for a pedicure, so I tried this, and I'm so glad I did. I couldn't believe all the skin that peeled off my feet. I felt like a shedding snake. As crazy as it sounds, my new beautiful feet have given me a boost of self-confidence. I can't wait to wear sandals again."—AmazonCustomer

Promising review: "I have been using this daily for about eight months now. I am 60 years old. It reduced the puffiness and bags under my eyes. I am Sicilian and had dark circles. It has brightened up my eye area. I am very surprised as I have paid much more for eye creams that have done so much less. I recently had pre-cancerous cells removed at the bridge of my nose. After healing, I was left with a dark scar. The dermatologist told me that it would heal over time. Since I began to apply this eye cream, the mark has almost disappeared entirely. I shop constantly from Amazon. This is the first time that I have taken the time to write a review. That's how impressed I am with this product. If you decide to purchase this, you won't be sorry." —Lynda M.

This wasn't sticky, it is thick and feels so soft and moisturizing on the lips. It stayed on all night and in the morning my lips felt great. I love that it's not scented or has any flavor, just a nice lip product that does what it promises." —ColletteT

Promising review: "I LOVE this thing! Breakfast has never been faster or easier! And it doesn't make noise that will wake everyone up while I am mixing. The silicone tip is real silicone (for those wondering about the pinch test) and does well against cast-iron. I have never been able to get my pancakes this fluffy until now! So great! Planning on buying more from this brand! It is also super easy to clean. The bottom comes off to fill it up and it turns into a holder for the bottle by setting the top into the bottom setting. It suggests putting in your liquid first then your mix but if making a large amount you might have to gently tap it a bit." —KC Hunter

Promising review: "This mask is so fun and really feels like it deep cleans. It bubbles up a lot and will make you feel like the Michelin Man LOL — but it works great especially with deep cleaning your pores. My 5-year-old loves wearing this mask and watching it bubble — and it doesn't irritate her sensitive skin which is great. I too have sensitive skin and have had no problems at all with this mask. It does get a bit tingly when it's bubbling but in a good way. This mask is great for girls' night as it's hilarious watching it bubble up on everyone. The price is great for the amount of product you get, just be careful and apply very, very lightly on the forehead and around the nose as it does bubble up thick and will go up your nostrils. Very happy with this purchase and will definitely buy again." —Jess

Promising review: "I love that we can write on this and save it for our daughter. At first, I was going to spend big bucks on the fancy growth charts but then I thought this would be easier to store. And let’s face it, in 30 years our daughter may hang on to this because she can store it easily. Chances are if I got a big wood growth chart she’d throw it out her first big move. 😉 It was easy to hang. We just used command strips and it looks pretty good." —Amazon Customer

These pins are so secure and put no pressure on my head. My bun looks great and I can wear it for 12 hours without issue. I do use all three, one at the front and one on both sides, so it is ultra-secure — but I also have a lot of hair. I 1000% recommend these!" —Rebekah Gibbs

The line glass holder can be tricky if the trim is thick. I wish the 'iPad' holding spot would hold an old-fashioned book. It doesn’t lean back enough to secure a book." —Keia S

Promising review: "I personally do not like the style of bike helmets so I wanted one that looked more like a hat and this works perfectly. It has a nice leather-like feel, is lightweight, and fits my head with a scarf on. The strap adjustment was a bit tricky but I finally got it to fit firmly. The padding is comfortable and didn't make me sweat during use. The inner shell is similar to that of the hard hat baseball helmets so I know they can take a ball being hurled at about 80 to 100 mph, I'm pretty confident it can handle a topple off a scooter going 20 mph... I personally don't want to find out... Lol. UPDATE: Fell off my scooter, face down. The helmet took the front fall pretty well (front of rim is scraped up but my head is OK... My hands and knees are jacked up but my head is A OK👌🏾). Glad to know the helmet works." —Stellarr Chance
