If normal allergy medication makes you drowsy, this is worth a shot! It has a spicy and warm scent to help ease inflammation and irritation that causes swelling and blocks airways. Ah, pollen.
Promising review: "Throw a drop on your finger and rub this around your nose — it'll open right up during the allergy season! It doesn't take much to get you opened up. I try and use this when I'm at home and stay off of the allergy medication, which give me side effects. Topical treatment seemed to work best for me." —Chris

Promising review: "I don’t write a lot of reviews, but I’m just in awe of this product. What are these magical stickers?! After washing my face last night, I put a patch on a new, under-the-skin pimple from hell, and when I woke up this morning all of the pus had been pulled out. My pimple is flush and feels so much better. It’s all but gone." —Matt F.

I JUST WANT TO WATCH MY SHOWS. This has a whopping 144 pages, including tabbed alphabetical pages!
Promising review: "I finally have all of my usernames, passwords, account numbers, service providers, etc. all in one place. No more sticky notes and little pieces of ripped paper or resetting my passwords all the time to only forget and reset them again. I searched for a couple weeks until I decided on this particular book. It seemed to offer the best layout and amount of information I could log and hasn't disappointed me yet. I love it! You can even store internet service info for easy reference." —Elizabeth R.

Did I mention it lasts up to ~14 days~?! By the way, this works best with Essie gel-effect nail polish ($8.89+ on Amazon; available in nine shades).
Promising review: "I can't live without this product. I have it on my monthly subscribe and save. With two coats of any color and one coat of this, my nails look professionally done. You can apply a thin coat if you prefer, but if you want the gel manicure look, you can apply a thick coat and it will look AMAZING. It dries super fast, too. I reapply it every two or three days and maintain my home-mani for about a week and a half without any chipping! " —PsychMama

Promising review: "I was looking for straws I could carry with me in my bag. I don't use single-use plastic anything anymore. I love that these came in their own bag and getting four is great, as I keep two in my bag and two at home. Very good value for the money spent!" —doogiesmom
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $3.99+ (available in three colors).
Promising review: "This gem is worth every penny. You can't tell the difference and it blends in perfectly. What I like most is that the top has a little chain with a hook that you attach your key. So you need only to pull off the cap of the 'sprinkler'. No fumbling around inside the container for the key. And if you have kids, the container top is a physical reminder that the key is the emergency spare key." —Muggle Mom

They come in four formulas: coconut milk and essential oils, coconut milk and pineapple, rose, and sugared flowers. Plus, they're vegan and cruelty-free!
Promising review: "I have always suffered from bad odor on my underarms since I have very delicate skin, so I can't use strongly scented deodorants. THIS IS THE BEST INVENTION EVER. I can't believe that something finally works! My armpits don't smell bad; I can finally move my arms freely. The scent is wonderful — I love the smell and it is not harsh on my skin. Even after a long day, my underarms are still smelling like coconut." —Patricia
Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in four formulas).

It includes four snap-off screws, a screw driver, and a convenient carrying tube.
Promising review: "This is an ingenious little invention. I tried to fix a pair of eyeglasses using the exact same screws as the original in what was an infuriating and ineffective exercise. On my first attempt with this kit, I was able to repair them as good as new in less than a minute. One of my most satisfying purchases ever!" —Bostonian
Get it from Amazon for $4.93.
It can be swung to the back of your computer when you're not using it! The dual-function clip can fit up to five sheets one-handed, or securely clip up to 30 sheets.
Promising review: "This simple item has made my life easier. It is extremely easy to install and to use. It has increased my productivity in the office when needing to refer to a hard document. When not in use, you can easily hide it behind your screen. It has two options to hold paper: one that you can just stick in and the other to clip on multiple documents. Another must-have 3M product!" —Elee the Lawyer
Get it from Amazon for $7.69+ (available in two sizes and with an included whiteboard).
They're water-proof and stain resistant!
Promising review: "I love these little bags. It has been awesome not having to constantly use and toss or wash the plastic ones. I use them all the time for crackers, pretzels, grapes, etc. I've put markers in them, as well to keep them together. Depending on what I had in then, I've wiped clean, hand-washed with my dishes, and tossed them in the washing machine with my cold laundry. All these worked fine to clean." —mama_bear_ali
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $6.95+ (available in 26 colors).
It has ~13~ inner and outer compartments, including two large zipped compartments!
Promising review: "This is a fabulous organizer; well-made and easy to slip in and out of various purses. Pockets are sewn nicely, and the fabric/material is just the right weight for keeping things where they belong, without a lot of shifting within the pockets. I would absolutely recommend this product to anyone who has a hard time staying organized or finding things in 'the abyss' of their purse! A place for everything, and everything in its place!" —Fire Daniels
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in sizes S–L and 21 colors).
Promising review: "This is shockingly awesome piece for the price! The material is thin and very soft, and the fit is excellent. The XL is an excellent and comfortable fit. The snaps do not rub or pinch. It's great for layering or with a high-waisted skirt. I am very pleased and will be ordering more colors!" —Shannon

Rub the balm on your temples, pulse points, lips, or chest! It'll help relax you, rather than force you into drowsiness.
Promising review (for the sleep balm): "This natural essential oil blend does the trick for me, every time. Remember, it is subtle in the way it helps you fall, and stay, asleep. Not a drug, so you can really relax and know that you will safely drift to sleep and dream of wondrous things." —Marietta Rhyne
Get them from Amazon: the sleep mask for $7.99 and the sleep balm for $9.75.
It has heat-resistant handles!
Promising review: "This thing may seem like just an ordinary food-saver, but I assure you it will blow that thin plastic garbage out of the water. It retains heat amazingly and does not bend or falter under extreme temperatures. I'm a college student and I have never felt such joy from making ramen in my small dorm microwave, for a 900 watt I recommend five minutes. Buy this product if you live and breathe air, because it is beautiful." —Theron
Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in two colors)
It's heat-resistant up to 450° F and available as both a travel *mat* and *pouch*.
Promising review: "Great for travel! Love that I no longer have to wait for my straightener to cool down all the way when we are traveling. Now I can let it cool a little then wrap it up and pack it away, saving me tons of time. Love that it has the slit to keep the cover on the iron. I also like to rest the straightener on it any time I use it to protect our marble countertops. Definitely recommend it!" —IDesign
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two colors and styles).
Just stick 'em inside on the straps of your sandals!
Promising review: "I LOVE these mini grips! Such a clever design. These are perfect for lining the inner part of my work shoe that used to dig into my upper lateral foot. The adhesive on these is very strong — I am on my feet all day and these grips have not budged! I was so pleased with these that I bought three more packs for all of my work shoes. Highly highly recommend!" —Frances25

Promising review: "I bought this for a friend who frequently eats in her car and she loves it! It fits great in the air vent and is very practical and easy to use." —Lara Brewer
Get it from 3D Printed By Brian on Etsy for $5.25+ (available as both single and double-dipper, and in two colors).
Promising review: "These are so much fun! We ordered the small size, which fits standard hardback books (approximately five to seven hardbacks in my experience). They're a great way to add some extra storage to our very small home, and we've placed them in our hallway so people ask us about them all the time. I'd highly recommend!" —LaBuenaVidaMere
Get it from Amazon for $9.98 (available in two colors).
It recommends that you apply it 8-15 times a day for the first three days to REALLY get the most out of its nourishing formula of jojoba wax ester (a v hydrating ingredient), vitamins A and E, and grape seed and tea tree oil. It'll reduce hangnails and encourage faster nail growth so that you can watch results, instead of giving up and going back to biting.
Promising review: "I love this product! I have been a nail-biter all my life, and because of that my nails are weak and peel easily. I have never been able to grow them out, and I've tried everything (hardeners, coconut oil, strengtheners, etc). Nothing worked. This nail oil does. After just the three day hydration challenge, I see and feel a difference in my nails. I totally recommend!! The picture I provided (above) was after three days!" —Jarrett Hansen
Get it from Amazon for $7.45 (available in three scents).
Avocado and eggs are the most popular things that people use this with, but you can put it on really anything (including salads)!
Promising review: "This seasoning blend is just stupidly delicious. My favorite use so far was for making homemade gluten free bagels. They. Were. AMAZING. I thought I made enough for the a few days, but my family ate them all in 24 hours. So maybe too delicious...My nearest Trader Joe's is over an hour away, so happy to be able to order this here." —Heather M

The only thing you *shouldn't* use this with is pearls! This includes a basket to leave your pieces in when treating them in the solution.
Promising review: "I decided to try this and WOW! It literally worked in seconds and was so efficient, I cleaned every piece of silver I owned because I was so amazed. I will never use anything else! This stuff is awesome!" —ACC41606

It's portable thanks to its carry loop, while its push button flip-up lid prevents spills and dust. PLUS, its lock ring keeps everything secure while you go about your day.
Promising review: "I don’t really write reviews unless the product is really bad or almost too good to be true. Fortunately, this bottle falls under the latter category. It feels sturdy with attention to quality. I’ve had too many bottles that would pen/break loosely, leak from all over the place, or just be inconvenient and bulky to carry around. As an avid bicycle rider, I will be taking it with me out for the bike rides. It's also good for gym activities. Anyway, I definitely enjoy the bottle and expect long life and use out of it." —Eugene Pan

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

Promising review: "This is an awesome product! There are four of us that were working together to feed the dogs. It simplified everything, because I no longer have to text to see if anyone had fed them every morning. Now I just to see if it's green and if it's not, I feed them and indicate it. We all love it so much!" —Toni Deegan

Promising review: "Seriously, this was so satisfying and gross. For months my tub had been clogged up. At first, it wasn't bad, just a couple inches in the bottom of the tub, but when it got to the point that the water rose to mid-calf and didn't drain for thirty minutes, I knew I had to do something. As soon as I got these in the mail I went to the bathroom, stuck it in there, and pulled. It was like deep sea fishing. I struggled to get it out, not because I'm weak, but because what was attached at the end was a ball of hair/conditioner/gunk/boogers (probably) the size of a rat. It was weirdly satisfying, like watching those pimple videos on Youtube. Anyway, even after the trauma to the snake I used, it can still be used again! And I have three more!" —Elizabeth

They're specifically designed to comfortably fit AirPods even for long periods of time, like when running or exercising. And! Their ~passive noise reduction~ helps to improve the bass.
Promising review: "My ears are a bit small and using the AirPods for long periods of time starts to become painful. These are perfect, because they allow me to wear the pods loosely (not shoved all the way in the ear) and still have great sound. They also help to keep the pods in my ear and not fall out. I highly recommend them for those who have had pain issues with the AirPods." —Christy A.

Promising review: "This tool is such a great little addition to my car! I am super lazy and cannot be bothered to remember a microfiber cloth to dust my car every few weeks, so keeping this in the car is awesome. Whenever I see some dust on the dash, I give it a whirl — zip, zip, zip — and my dash is dust-free!" —LindsayRoseEliz

Look familiar? They're from Shark Tank! They're machine-washable up to ~100 times~. One roll comes with 20 sheets!
Promising review: "Such a cool product! I saw them on Shark Tank and had to try them. I hate how many paper towels I go through on a daily basis, but I hate using reusable rags because of how much dirt and bacteria they hold on to — and even when you ring them out and let them dry, they just feel disgusting and start to smell. Bambooee isn't like that at all!! It doesn't hold on to dirt, so when you rinse it off it looks and feels good as new! It really is incredible." —hollys2424
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
Promising review: "This easily holds 14 regular credit/bank cards and ID's. It's a very sturdy design. I had another wallet like this and anytime you touched the clasp (or something in your bag did), it'd open up. This one holds fast until you open it. My old one also had the images wear off really quickly and looked much older than it was. The printing on this one is high quality and durable. I'm extremely happy with this wallet!" —Amazon Customer

They're also great for swimming, water sports, and flying! Plus, they're comfortable enough to wear for an extended time. Btw, these come in a small, waterproof case.
Promising review: "I ordered these to use at concerts and at work. I work in an animal shelter and sometimes the barking of the dogs gets really loud. In addition to this, we use a lot of loud equipment in our cleaning such as shop vacs and power washers and these little things really help to reduce the damaging noise levels. I love the little key chain holder and keep it attached to my work keys so the plugs are always at hand. The silicone is comfortable and fits snugly in my ears. I also like that they are washable and reusable. Definitely a good investment!" —Sharasa Kerbouchard
