This white-noise machine obviously plays white noise, but also has 13 other soundtracks including three lullabies, one fan sound, and five relaxing natural sounds.
Promising review: "Visually this speaker is very nice and modern looking. Controls took me a second but that’s because you have to tap and hold the speaker to turn it on. And a single tap turns on the night light. It sounds great and the different options of noise is a relief if you don’t like plain white noise. The only thing I don’t like about it is that the volume controls are the same buttons that change the sounds. If you tap the button it will change sounds so you need to hold it to adjust volume which can be annoying." —Andrew

Promising review: "Yes. I am a struggling young adult with only one, that's right, ONE set of sheets. Over the two years my one poor set of sheets took a beating. They saw countless menstrual cycles, various cold and flu viruses, dogs, and sleep overs. I meticulously washed and bleached those sheets until one day I took them from the wash and noted that they were beyond bleaching or stain removal. I searched high and low, but to no avail. Why... Why were simple square pieces of fabric $50.00!?!?!? I could not afford this. So I searched. I searched high and I searched low. It was here. Here I discovered them. Plain white sheets at a modest and affordable price. So I bought them. I made my bed and I laid in it. And I can tell you that yes. They are in fact sheets that you can sleep in." —Victoria Yost

Promising review: "I couldn't be happier with my ladder shelf. The color is exactly how it looks in the picture, and I love that it's not too high - reachable even at the very top. It took my boyfriend about an hour to assemble, and he said everything was clearly identified and simple. This ladder shelf is better than most in my opinion because it has a small backing or ledge against each shelf (about 3 inches) that will prevent items from slipping down the back—smart design. It does not look cheap, it has a modern vibe and is well made. No complaints!" —Michelle

Promising review: "Love these labels! They are the best I've ever used. They go on and stay on, and don't fall off in the freezer as have happened with other labels. They have a good surface to write on too. Not waxy like some. Then when I put them in the dishpan, poof, gone. No sign they were ever there. No residue anywhere I've found. Will definitely buy them again. A very good product that actually is as good as I'd hoped. That doesn't happen often." —Marjorie L. Swanson

Promising review: "Adorable. Very tiny size, can fit six canned beverages across the top and bottom. Very lightweight, you can just hold the handle on top and leave for a trip with it. I am going to fill some drinks at the bottom and have small cosmetics (that needs to keep in cold temperatures) so it feels refreshing." —Mari

Promising review: "After looking at what seemed like hundreds of different types of lap desks, I came across this one and it caught my eye. I love the little drawer on the side. It's great for storing a pen and notepad, and even a calculator (I also take classes online). And it easily supports my giant laptop. It's lightweight and easy to carry up and down the stairs. The desk portion has an adjustable slant, which is helpful, as well. The only thing I don't like is that there is nothing that locks the legs open and closed, so you'll want to watch your fingers. I've pinched the hell out of myself once or twice trying to move things around. So be careful!" —ShannaBanana

Promising review: "When I saw these risers I immediately thought "how clever." By stacking them, or not, you have the choice of three heights. Living in a small condo, space is always at a premium. At this time I'm using only the 3-inch risers and have stashed two saw horses and a piece of plywood for "work bench" top. And, also two folding patio chairs. What a difference 3 inches makes. I'll probably use the 5-inch risers later. But having the option to raise the bed by 3, 5 or 8 inches is amazing. So far, two weeks since installed, the bed casters are safely nestled in the risers and do not move on my carpeted floor." —Fussy Guy Garrett

Promising review: "My first thought when I used this was 'I want everyone to have this for Christmas!' It works so well and is so easy to use. Super nice quality materials used, and one of my favorite convenience factors is that it comes with a car adapter! I know people that have problems with back pain while driving, and this is something that would be SO nice to keep in the car for those long road trips! I am so excited about this massager. Awesome value!" —Trista

The organizer can be trimmed to fit in any size drawer.
Promising review: "Okay, admittedly, I am a bit of an organization freak. I purchased two of these organizers (yes, you do need two PER drawer) to organize my underwear drawer. I agree that $20 seems like a lot to pay for a few pieces of plastic to organize a drawer no one else really sees, but... it's totally worth it. The gratification I got from being able to see exactly what I had, neatly organized, easy to find... Wow. I definitely recommend this product. And the actual dividers are well-made and super easy to assemble. As a previous reviewer said, the number of times you will look at your drawer and be totally satisfied makes the price well worth it." —Brigette

Promising review: "This is my second Baggu purchase. I have previously purchased one other standard nylon Baggu as well as the baby Baggu, which I frequently use to carry my lunch or for small shopping errands. I love that the Baggu of any size is so lightweight and can be folded up neatly into a pouch to drop into a purse, trunk, wherever. I keep one in my handbag, office desk drawer and car, and have found it much easier to avoid unnecessary usage of plastic shopping bags. It also takes up a lot less space than my other reusable bags, which makes storing them convenient and easy. Finally, the best part is that the Baggu is washable, which means no worrying about getting it dirty over time. Overall, this has been a great product that I would recommend to anyone looking to reduce plastic bag usage with a much more reliable and convenient carry option." —Sherlockian

Promising review: "My kid always used to ask, 'MOM ARE THESE CLEAN OR DIRTY DISHES?' Now, I don’t have to answer the same question over and over again. Thank you! It works great. I just stick it to the dishwasher and turn it so they know if the dishes are clean or dirty. I’ve had this for five or more years now. I love it." —Brighteyez

Promising review: "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 not I feed them and indicate it, we all love it so much." —Toni Deegan

Promising review: "Perfect sensory toy. I’m glad this comes as a multipack because my kiddo with Down syndrome is obsessed. He needs something to twirl pretty much any time he’s awake and this is great. They’re super stretchy, but don’t get long enough during twirling to, say, hit your brother in the face in the car, so that’s nice. (One less battle and everyone is happy!) Easy to clean and sanitize, and they seem to be incredibly durable after a month of the green one being used about 13 hours a day — and as serious fidgeter has been testing the limits. We got the most massive smile when the orange one was presented yesterday. A new color? Life is awesome! Wait until he sees the other three hiding in the closet. Haha! I have no hesitation recommending this item." —I'm me

Promising review: "This shoe rack is awesome! Made a huge difference in my closet space with how many pairs of shoes I have. Very simple to put together. I put all my boots and taller shoes on the top and everything else fit nicely underneath. Fits a lot of shoes compared to other racks I've looked at and is great quality for the price! I give 5 stars." —Hotshot2567

Promising review: "This is amazing! I bought this for a gift for my husband who drinks iced coffee all year long. He says it makes such a smooth-tasting and strong iced coffee. He gets two drinks out of each batch that he makes. It's easy to clean and can go in the dishwasher. It's durable — I know as I'm clumsy and have dropped it several times without an issue. We are considering getting a second one!" —rnnichole

Promising review: "This is a two-pack of stainless-steel collapsible straws with silicone tips. You get the two straws, a cleaning brush, and a drawstring bag for storage. The silicone ends come off for cleaning and they are different colors so you know whose is whose. These are good for people who don't like drinking straight from the can or bottle. My elderly mother has trouble lifting her arm far enough to drink from water bottles so she uses straws, and she likes these because she now has her own straw she can use wherever she is. Saves using plastic straws and the storage bag easily fits in a pocket or purse." —John

Promising review: "I had no idea I'd love Alexa so much. I wake up in the morning and she does the routine I've set up, and she's so comforting and useful and fun overall. My husband and I played Skills trivia games for hours last night. If we had kids it would be even more super useful (kids workouts, stories, games) — we even had a goodnight story read to us by Alexa and it was awesome. I'm really loving it. The Echo Dot itself is pretty great — the sound quality is pretty good, the bass when turned up is not that great, but if you really want to rock out you can connect it to other speakers or just use something else instead. I'm really surprised by how much I like the Alexa app (and the Echo Dot), because I'm a little resistant to technology, but it's pretty easy to figure out and feels like a new little buddy in the home. I'm excited to get some SmartHome stuff now so I can turn on/off lights, heat, etc. Really cool, though, overall — I feel like Judy Jetson!" —Leah

Promising review: "I have multiple USB charged devices and only had one wall outlet plug in for USB. I looked for one with great reviews because I had one before that ended up breaking and I love this one. It can charge six devices at the same time and not have a slowing down or overheating problem. I would buy this again, it's durable and very sleek looking where as my old one was kind of bland looking and had some of the ports break. Six months later and this one is still going strong." —Jamie Childers

Promising review: "We got these blackout curtains for the bedroom because our baby will not sleep until the sun starts to set (which doesn't currently start until after 8 p.m. where we are). So we got these curtains hoping we could trick her into going to bed at a reasonable time. Let me tell ya', they work better than I ever imagined! There are some small light leaks around the sides and top of the curtains, but that has everything to do with our installation. The curtains themselves block 100% of the sunlight coming through the window. Since installing them, we've been able to get our daughter to sleep on time every night and have gotten her to take much longer naps in the darkened room. The curtains themselves are very sturdy and the color (which is gorgeous) is true to the item photos." —Linzy Schroeder

Promising review: "I wanted some new slippers for around the house (and occasionally a short trip outside) and looked at quite a few options on Amazon. After looking at options two to three times more expensive I decided to give these a try, due to the mostly positive reviews and I think I made the right choice. I've had my pair for a couple months and wear them regularly. The memory foam insole is comfortable and provides some support on my mostly wood and tile floors. I usually wear them with socks to avoid getting sweaty feet, but the woven fabric is pretty breathable (one of the reasons I bought them). —Matt

Promising review: "The Defining Decade gave me confirming, and motivating insight on my twentysomething years, and how I should be getting the most out of them. In an intentional, forward thinking, kind of way. Students, millennials, and twentysomethings are the target audience. However I believe parents, teachers, and professors alike should all read Dr. Meg’s book, and it should definitely be required reading for anyone giving advice to a twentysomething." —Alexis
