Promising review: "If you like waffles, but don't want to eat gigantic ones and/or don't have a ton of counters pace to spare for a full size waffle maker, this little thing is well worth the price. Another benefit of this smaller size is that you can use the waffles from this little machine to make sandwiches, for those who like breakfast on-the-go, not to mention a sweet and savory treat in the morning. We have actually been surprised by how much we use this item considering other waffle makers we've purchased all end up collecting dust in the back of a cupboard. This really is a waffle maker that you'll use more than once; in fact, diehard waffle fans will probably use it every day." —Memory Lane

It comes with a seven-quart removable stoneware insert, variable heat settings (low, warm, and high), cool-touch side handles, and non-skid rubber feet.
Promising review: "If you're looking for a cute, easy-to-use kitchen staple that will not only make weeknight dinners easier but also give you a hefty dose of the warm-n-fuzzies just by sitting on your kitchen counter, look no further. My husband and I are huge Diseny/Pixar fans, so we ended up purchasing this purely for looks alone. But as it turns out, it's actually a very nice slow cooker. We actually cooked our Thanksgiving turkey (breast only) in this crock pot, and it came out so well that we plan to do the same thing again this year!" —Kate

Promising review: "This is the best!! I’ve used many kinds of acne patches, but these are just as great, cheaper, and cuter! I no longer buy others and instead buy these. They work best with whiteheads if left on overnight. I have also worn this in the day with foundation and BB cream. I’ve recommended this to so many friends, who also have had great results. As someone with hormonal acne resulting in tons of whiteheads, despite using prescription medicines, this is a lifesaver." —Nikki

Promising review: "Its small and cute and packs a good punch. I use this speaker at work on my desk so I can listen to music while I work away the day. I get so many compliments from coworkers on how adorable it is, half the time they don't even realize that its a speaker until I tell them." —Mrs. Lemon121314

Promising review: "My charging cable was starting to fall apart at the top. I could see the wires slowly peeking out through my nylon braided charing cable and it was charging my phone on and off. I decided to buy this product to mend the cable instead of buying a brand new one. To my surprise, my charging cable is still working with this. It saved me some money for now." —Anonymous

Plus it's broken down by priority so you can manage your time better! I have this myself, and I love these little guys. They really do motivate me once I'm actually able to list things out! I'm easily overwhelmed, but since making these new friends, I feel so much more organized and on top of things.

Promising review: "Good grief this is better than 5-Hour Energy. I don't know what it is about this stuff, but I drink one and my body goes into overdrive. I'm alert, busy, and on the ball for hours after I drink one. There's no crash either, which is fantastic, you just gradually slow down and go back to normal." —A Mom

Promising review: "This must be the greatest idea since the discovery of fire! Two days in, and my hardwood is shining! And all with just walking around! Of course the quality is pedestrian (pardon), of course it doesn’t look like it was made by Versace, but that’s not the point, is it?" —Nigel

Promising review: "I love, love, love this. I’m ordering additional ones for my coworkers who were admiring my organizer. It was very easy to assemble (five minutes) and comes with the tools and screws needed. It was actually bigger than expected, but holds everything I need well. It looks great on my desk and holds my phone! I would definitely purchase again." —Tymisha R.

Promising review: "I needed something to use as a lunch box for work since my last one broke and came across this one which had the cutest design! I know that the picture had some sort of utensils case on it but was really not expecting the lunch bag to come with utensils! That thoroughly surprised me! The lunch bag itself is also really nice! It keeps my food warm or cool depending on what I initially put! It’s also got a decent amount of space!" —Maki Ventanilla

Promising review: "I love these! I bought this because it was cute and I thought it'd make good stocking stuffers, but then this actually turned out to be super functional. I have really oily skin and have a hard time exfoliating my T-zone/eyebrow area, and this gets the job done and also feel great." —Sax17

Promising review: "Wow! What can I say. So far every Bloom product I have purchased has arrived quickly and been packaged perfectly. They are all beautiful.

It comes with 50 pins!
Promising review: "Omigosh, this is the cutest thing ever! Pushpins that look like sushi! I bought one for myself and one for a dear friend who also loves sushi. It has just the right amount of pushpins to make it look realistic. Makes such a charming addition to my desk, and now I have pushpins handy if I need them. I would just need to make sure I don't lose any of the pins, or the 'rice' would show through. The 'rice' part even has a rice pattern on it, though, so even with all the pushpins taken out it still looks pretty realistic." —T. Thomas

Promising review: "This little humidifier puts out a lot of mist. Surprisingly, for its small size, it is comparable to much larger types. I've never had a humidifier that has had a cotton wick before, so I wasn't sure how it would work and honestly wasn't expecting much. It exceeded my expectations and I love it. It came with an extra cotton wick which is nice. I use it at work and was just looking for something to put near my indoor plants on my window sill. It looks cute alongside my plants and they have really flourished since I have been using the humidifier once a day. It has also helped me too and my office is not as dry." —Dayna Boatright
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in three styles).
Promising review: "SO CUTE! They're the perfect size (same as sticky note flags). And THEY HOLD ON TIGHT! Not so tight they rip the corners or edges of pages; strong enough that bouncing around in my backpack or computer bag hasn't moved them one bit. Plus ADORABLE!! I have given a couple stacks to friends and coworkers. They're a big hit!" —Zus Gah Izdahn

Promising review: "I switched away from dryer sheets six years ago when I was reading my son's pajama tag on how to wash and it said avoid dryer sheets. This sent me down a rabbit hole of research. I've used a few different types of dryer balls since then but these are by far the cutest! These dryer balls work well at replacing dryer sheets, cut drying time, and reduce wrinkles. They are as great value and both my sons think they are hilarious. I would definitely recommend this product." —honeybeeje
