Promising review: "I was so happy with my first one that I got a second one! Just to be able to turn lights on and off is amazing with the automation, but now I can leave a message, call, set appointment timers, to-do list, get help with spelling, and so much more. This thing amazes me to this day." —Murl Harmon

It even comes with three different lighting levels for make-up, selfies, and dark scenery!
Promising review: "I love this light! My friends and I are always taking selfies. I hate how they are always grainy. I put the selfie light on and the pictures come out great. They are well-lit and are not grainy. It has three light levels and easy to use. I'm very pleased with this purchase." —jmbillet

It even has a c-shaped handle to allow a firmer grip!
Promising review: "These umbrellas are the best. First, the handle is big enough that I can slip it around my wrist when I need a free hand. Second, the reverse feature. When you are getting in the car during the rain, close the wet parts inside and the opening is at the top. You stay dry! Your car stays dry too. I also work in a metropolitan area with lots of wind and I haven’t had any issues with my umbrella tearing up or getting flipped around backwards. There are vents to let the wind blow through while you stay dry." —M. Koolman

It comes with six boxes of different stick-on gems!
Promising review: "These are great. I wasn't sure what to expect, but the holders are great and the little pieces included are fun, sparkly and easy to use. I will definitely try them again." —Amazon Customer

It's self-described as "part agenda, part gratitude journal, part schedule, part goal planner, and part life organizer" so daily tasks, such as finishing a report, doesn't feel so much like a mundane obligation, but more of a step toward your bigger goals (like a promotion!).
Promising review: "I have ADHD and it’s not just about having trouble staying organized — I have trouble getting momentum when tasks seem mundane or when I can’t see how they fit into the bigger picture. A lot of my daily work can feel pretty mundane, and that leads to a lot of procrastination and wasted time. But I sometimes have SO many AWESOME ideas (!!!) that my plans aren’t realistic, or I forget what I was trying to work on yesterday, and then I get discouraged. This planner is SO helpful because its month/week/day format makes me focus on the big picture, yet it allows me to break up large projects into more manageable pieces. The reflective portions also help me reframe my thinking when I don’t get through all of my tasks, so I don’t just get frustrated with myself and give up if I have a bad day or two." —krisalicious

Promising review: "I'm horrible when it comes to doing my hair, so I can use all the help that I can get. These bun makers really make it so much easier, and they really do hold your hair securely without a bunch of pins or styling products! Highly recommended!" —M. Young

Aka you can wear all those dresses Selena had on Veep, which I still think about every single day.
Promising review: "I bought a dress with a back zip ('invisible zipper' too, i.e. tiny!) recently from Ann Taylor. Getting into it and zipping it all the way up was nearly impossible.....unless I wanted to start cussing and sweat buckets throughout the whole ordeal. Let me tell you, this worked like a charm, even on that tiny zipper of mine. Just follow the instructions and you can NOT go wrong, IMHO. Worth the money." —Chicago888

These bbs come in six different levels of tension to cheaply strengthen your arms, back, legs, and back when you integrate them into your home workout routine.
Promising review: "These are the best resistance bands that I've ever purchased. I've had them for awhile and they have held up to daily use by multiple people (my family). I love the fact that they don't feel like they have lost any elasticity. I use them three times a day and they have really helped. You gradually work your way up to different levels. This is a great buy if you need an exercise routine you can do from home. You can work every muscle in your body with these bands alone." —Cassie

Promising review: "I love this mini cube. It’s just like the large one, but fits in your pocket. It works great and passes the time while you wait." —Maria M. Kratz

Promising review: "I just love decorating with plants, both live and fake, and I love how these look so real! I think the tall skinny one is the most realistic, but definitely the tree trunk pots add to the realism as well as the 'dirt.' Any succulent lover like me would like these! They're the perfect size for sticking on my bookshelf for styling, in a nursery, or in a family room. Adorable!" —Lighthouse

This miracle worker has two sides: one is a triangle-shaped tip to create the perfect winged tip, while the other effortlessly glides to complete the look. It's even available in three sizes so you can choose the thickness of your wings!
Promising review: "Let me start by saying this isn't my first cat-eye rodeo. I've tried the taping method, normal liquid liner, plastic winged stamping devices, stencils, all of it! So when I saw this I thought, meh, why not give it a shot. Well, this gem arrived and I immediately had to try it out, all while laughing at how terrible this would probably turn out....but to my surprise it was perfect. I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE BEEN ABLE TO DO A CAT-EYE IN UNDER 10 MINUTES, LET ALONE THE TWO MINUTES THIS TOOK TO DO! There were no sloppy streaks that I had to touch up or anything you would expect. Just a clean, crisp line." —LadyMeow

It also works on water bottles! This is great for anyone with weak hands (hi) or with arthritis. Its teeth are made from super hard metal to get a good grip on the lids.
Promising review: "I ordered this for my dad, he had open heart surgery and he couldn't open jars or bottles until we received this amazing product! Now he can open any jar or bottle, it's so easy to use! Also it's great for me, I have fibromyalgia and sometimes it's hard for me open jars and bottles. I highly recommend it." —Labevy

Promising review: "I've wanted to make ravioli for a while now, but was always intimidated by the process. I know another kitchen gadget would just add more clutter to my kitchen, but I decided to go for it anyways. This thing works just as advertised. It makes perfect little pockets, and so long as you use the correct amount of filling, it stays where it's supposed to be and doesn't squish out." —Mike C
Get it from Amazon for $12.50.
Promising review: "I regularly used the Tinkle facial razors which I thought worked well, but I just used one of these razors for the first time yesterday and OMG the amount of peach fuzz and to my surprise dead skin that came off was shocking and oh-so-satisfying. I will definitely be stocking up." —I & S. Stark

Promising review: "I have been looking for an adult coloring book. The photos in this book are intricate and beautiful. I can spend hours filling in all the details and making beautiful photos. I also love that there isn't a picture on the page on the back of each page to color, so if I use markers and they bleed, I'm not wasting another photo doing so. I also love that its half the price of most of the other books Ive looked at. I wish I had known about adult coloring books years ago! It's great therapy!" —Michaela Urban

Plus it's non-stick! VERY necessary. AND it can take the heat up to 350° and has ergonomic handles to make things easy peasy.
Promising review: "I love these things. They are perfect for making Spanish tortillas. I use these pans often — nothing sticks to them. The tortilla comes right off, no problem. They work great and are easy to close together. I like this product so much that I bought one for my mother and one for my mother-in-law and they both have had only great things to say about it." —Amanda R.

Promising review: "I was so bummed when I scratched up my pretty white sink with pots and pans. I thought I'd need to have it replaced or try to sand it and refinish it somehow, but I bought this stuff as a last ditch effort to fix it myself. It takes some elbow grease to make them go away, the scratches don't just wipe off, but if you scrub at them for a few minutes they melt away pretty quickly. After two rounds my sink looks nearly brand new again. It also worked on a few mineral stains in my bathtub that I thought were permanent after soft scrub failed to remove them. Again, a little of this stuff, the scrubby side of a blue sponge, a little bit of effort and they were gone!" —Dan Borden

I mean, I would consider myself to be a wine expert. Just...in a different way.
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: "This is so much better than living out of a suitcase! You just lift it out and hang it up! This also makes packing a lot easier — I hung this up in my spare room to pack, and I ticked things off my 'to pack' list along the way." —Starz

This book is filled with tips, tricks, and practice space to help you learn calligraphy in the easiest way possible!
Promising review: "I have always wanted to learn lettering, and just by practicing a little every day I feel like I've made so much progress. This book is great! It has cute little pep talks at the bottom of some pages, and the author really explains the process in a way that's easy to understand." —Jess M

Promising review: "I'm so glad I found these! I've always had trouble with fallout under my eyes, even with good brushes and quality makeup. Now I don't have to worry at all. When I use these I can do my foundation first and then my eye makeup. I would hate having to wipe away shadow from my cheeks and apply more concealer. I'll be buying more boxes of these." —Tasha

Promising review: "After reading all the reviews about other spiralizers I was about to give up and not buy one. The others sounded flimsy, dangerous, or cumbersome. Well, the OXO Good Grips is none of those things! It's very easy to use, feels solid and well-made, and the size makes storage very convenient." —Avid Reader

Promising review: "After a childhood experience that involved a pressure cooker spewing black beans all over the ceiling, I had no interest in ever trying a pressure cooker again. Until I started hearing about the Instant Pot. I've had it three weeks, and have used the pressure cooker function to make dishes as varied as black bean soup, butternut squash soup, dulce de leche, and cheesecake. My favorite aspect of it is that you set it and walk away. No more having to monitor the temperature. No more having to time the pressure phase. I also like the fact that the sauté function allows you to brown the onions or meat in the same pot, before adding the other ingredients and cooking at pressure. I'm big on avoiding recipes that create a lot of dirty dishes." —A. Jennerjahn

It's a *handy* three-in-one tool: it has a refillable water spritzer, a pre-shave moisturizing bar, and two individual razor blades!
Promising review: "This on-the-go razor seriously saved me while I was camping with my boyfriend. The rotator is really simple to use and the razor blades are sharp. It's great not having to be by the sink to use it. The soap seems like it can last me at least a few months." —Kata

Promising review: "I have had this for five years and it still works amazingly. I use it so much that people don't know my hair is naturally straight and I get compliments all the time. Honestly, I can not believe how well this works and how longs its lasted for how cheap it is. I bought this on a whim (because it's only $20!) and it is one my greatest purchases of all time." —madison
