Promising review: "I ordered this lamp because of its appearance. I didn't NEED a depressed duck lamp ... but it has totally filled a void in my life I didn't know existed. Everyone who sees it pokes it. The lamp is actually very functional. It's got a really nice set of brightness options and the glow is yellowish, which is much nicer than white in a dim/dark room. One thing that isn't mentioned in the description is that its legs are utterly floppy. It's terrific." —Literated

It turns off the second the lights go on, which is nice because I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it on.

Promising review: "I love this thing. I have anxiety and insomnia, and I need background noise to function/sleep. This little desktop fountain is SO SOOTHING, both aesthetically and the sound of the little raindrops. If I’m in the room with it, it’s probably on. If you love the sound of rain this is for you. Because I’m paranoid and I want this to last, I run it with plain distilled water and I have not used essential oils with it even though they say it’s fine. It’s very dry here right now, and I still only have to top up the water every few days, even with it running daily. It’s a solid 12/10 from me." —Violet

I drop it in the tub towards the back where the outer streams hit, turn my shower on the hottest setting, close the curtains and wait until I smell it. This gives your water a chance to heat up and your steamer time to melt. By the time I hop in the shower is full of relaxing steam.

Promising review: "I saw this while browsing, and at first I thought it was a real lens (until I saw the price). I clicked, and had to laugh because it incorporated my husband's two loves — coffee and photography! I got it for him as part of his Christmas gifts, and he loves it.

I just wrap the string attached to the teabag around the snail and it keeps everything from falling back into my tea to float around until I fish it back out. I like that each one has a different color and I keep them all handy to grab, as they fit really nice on the heavy wire of my dish rack with my other tea accessories when not in use. I gave some to my friend who is a tea lover as well and he likes them too. Thank You!" —KA7DRE

Promising review: "I love glassware, especially borosilicate glass, because it’s delicate and yet strong, it’s thinner and lighter than most glass. This is is definitely a conversation piece, because of its small milk carton shape and it holds a significant amount of cream or milk.
