The light will grow increasingly brighter in the half-hour leading up to your alarm, and many reviewers say they wake up before the alarm even goes off!
Promising review: "This clock is a miracle worker. I dreaded all my early morning classes and going to work during the winter darkness. Now, my entire room is bright by the time my alarm goes off in the morning. The best part is that my body actually wakes itself up before my alarm ever rings." —Jessica

Promising review: "So I purchased this to organize and create a laundry system. Up until this point, I used one basket for everything. Wow. What a time saver this has been. I now do wash when any baby (2) or adult (2) are running low on their clothes. My husband is size L or XL and just one of the bags held one week's worth of clothes. This most definitely simplified my laundry." —Mackenzie

This stand has a nanofoam pad that uses micro-suction technology — thousands of microscopic suction cups create a vacuum seal when pressed against any device with a flat, metal surface — to hold up your devices. Your roommate will just assume you're a wizard.
Promising review: "This is awesome, exactly what I needed! Great product. Since I'm working from home during quarantine, I use it at my desk, but also during my workout and to watch classes while cooking. Definitely worth it!" —Theo

Promising review: "I bought this on a whim for my teenage son for a smaller Christmas gift. He loves it! It definitely has the stress ball element but because of its size and density, he and his friends love playing with it too. They play catch and a dodgeball like game that they call Arghh Ball. He took it with us to the mountains and I notice he usually takes it when going to a friend’s house. He’s only had it for a few weeks. It has been used so much and taken quite a beating but has held up really well. I will definitely be buying a couple more." —Amazon Customer

The sampler set includes eight tea drops, two of each: Energizing Matcha Green Tea (caffeinated), Calming Rose Earl Grey (caffeinated), Refreshing Citrus Ginger (caffeine-free), and Cooling Sweet Peppermint (caffeine-free).
Promising review: "Tea Drops + an electric kettle equals a super simple and mess-free way to prepare your tea. Especially in the mornings when you're getting yourself together or in a hurry. Taste is on point, doesn't need any sweeteners. Overall very smooth teas. You do get a few tea particles at the bottom of your cup, which I thought might be an issue, but it turned out not to be troublesome at all. I would definitely recommend it!" —Arpan

Promising review: "The BedShelfie is exactly what I needed and is exactly as it was described. It fit perfectly, is sturdy and well-made, and was a cinch to install. Forget the space-hogging nightstand — get a BedShelfie!" —Dusty Teague

Promising review: "This is very sleek, modern, and the sound is great. I was interested in it specifically for the extra USB outlet to charge my iPhone (a must for most bedside devices). This has been a great purchase and I am very pleased with the product." —Gbulldog

Promising review: "Why do I love this magnet? Because it's a tiny mini vase that you can actually put a small flower in. Even a simple weed from the yard can turn this into a stylish addition to the kitchen fridge. When I see a cute tiny flower outside that would be too small for a regular vase I will put it in this little magnet so I can enjoy it a bit longer. Cool mini magnet!" —Christy

Everyone in your house will think you have the greenest thumb ever, while this baby does the legwork for you.
Promising review: "Love this new garden! It's my fourth AeroGarden and they just keep getting better. This one has a very sleek design and takes up less space than I thought it would without sacrificing grow space or water capacity. Set up was a breeze with the display walking me through the steps. I love that on their larger gardens you can set the time on the garden, plus this one is wifi enabled so I can keep track of my garden's needs on my phone! My favorite new feature though is vacation mode, which will slow down the light and water use so I don't have to worry about my plants so much when I'm out of town. I can't wait for my plants to grow. I recommend it!!" —Ted

Promising review: "The power went out so I bought three to four of these for emergencies. Now, I use them every day. I loved them so much, I bought like 10 more to replace our nightstand lamps and to give them out as gifts. They are both functional and beautiful. I use them to walk around at night in the house without disturbing others to the bathroom or working late. I will also be taking them camping soon. It is dimmable, and bright enough to read or low enough to use as a night light. Having four completely lights up a whole room. The handle is brilliant. That is one of the best features." —latte happy

Promising review: "Beautiful, soft, very well-made. It is warmer than some coats, you can wear it outside In Michigan winter weather. It's elegant and runs big, which I like because I can use it as a blanket LOL. I'm disabled and I feel like a queen in my robe. It is now my security blanket. I have 18 grandchildren and they love how soft grandma feels, and my great-grandbabies fall asleep fast in my arms! There is a half double-liner inside so you can't see through it which is a nice feature. I'm going to buy more." —Sherry Indiana

Promising review: "I have been using this therapy lamp for about a week now, and I have noticed a considerable improvement in my mood. I find that 30 minutes works the best for me. As far as the lamp itself goes, it is well made and has three brightness settings. It doesn’t get hot. I have mine sitting on a wooden base in the photo, but only for decorative reasons. I am a grad student in psychology and I am always looking for things that can help people. I believe this one really does." —Mandy Ashcraft

The small ottoman fits into the large one when not in use, genius.
Promising review: "Very pleased with this purchase. The ottoman is very attractive and despite being faux leather, the quality is very nice. Living in a modest-sized apartment in New York, the fact that it can easily serve all of the functionality of an ottoman, small coffee table, tray, and storage unit makes it extremely useful when space comes at a premium. There are a lot of similar products, but the fact the top to this one reverses as a fully functional tray is what helped separate this from the rest. The mini ottoman/stool is a nice touch, but keeping it inside the ottoman itself eliminates the storage functionality of the product, so there is a bit of a trade-off there. We've been able to stash it elsewhere and use it when needed, so it's actually a nice bonus. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a nice bit of modern and functional furniture." —Mike Moore

Promising review: "I bought a twin-sized tent in the 'galaxy' color to help keep out insects in my parents' house in the woods. It was very easy to set up, and fantastic to sleep in! I love the windows on either side, and how there are zippers on both sides too." —Ashli G.

This blanket is at the veryyy top of my wishlist this year 👀.
Promising review: "This blanket is great. The material is soft and comfortable. The weight is perfect. What I love the most is that there are no beads used for the weight. I had a previous weighted blanket that the beads came loose after just a few weeks making the blanket useless. This blanket makes you feel like you are wrapped in a soft hug. I sleep so much better and do not wake up as often. I highly recommend this blanket." —Jennifer M.
Get it from Bearaby for $249 (available in 15, 20, or 25 pounds and eight colors).
Promising review: "I would recommend putting a blanket or sheet over it because if you have animals they will take it over. We got the king size as an extra place to sit when gaming and friends come over and an extra bed. So far it has been super convenient and comfortable to sit in and read or play games. Such a great product, everyone in the house is happy with it especially the cat." —Crystall
