Promising review: "I love this thing! The print is nice and large, and the spiral binding is super nice. The paper is still newspaper-y which makes it feel like a newspaper crossword without having to lug around a newspaper. I use erasable pens, and they erase great. The boxes are plenty big enough for the letters and the crosswords are all appropriately 'Monday' difficulty. Great thing to have! Can’t wait to finish it and move on to Tuesday!" —Amazon Customer

BuzzFeed Writer Hannah Loewentheil is a biiiiiig fan of this delicious sauce:
"There's one ingredient that makes even my most average home cooking taste amazing, and it's this TRUFF truffle-infused hot sauce. I first heard about TRUFF on a list of Oprah's favorite things, and I knew she would never lead me astray. So I quickly realized I needed TRUFF in my own kitchen.
There are three kids of TRUFF hot sauces: the classic black truffle sauce, a 'hotter' sauce, and the crown jewel, the creme de la creme, a white truffle hot sauce. Look, the white truffle-infused hot sauce quite literally tastes like heaven, but IMO, the classic black truffle hot sauce is the most versatile and a staple in my kitchen. And while at first $20+ seemed like an absurd price to pay for hot sauce, this stuff is worth the price tag. I mean...truffles. And here's the thing: I've tried plenty of truffle-infused hot sauces, olive oils, and what-nots in the past, but they often taste overpowering or low-quality. TRUFF hot sauces are the perfect balance of decadent truffle, heat, spice, and a tiny bit of sweetness. Now I'm completely and most likely irrevocably hooked to this liquid gold. I slather it on pretty much everything savory from eggs and tacos to sandwiches and fried rice. If you're looking for a way to add flavor to your home cooking or turn basic meals into pure extravagance, you should probably invest in a bottle of TRUFF."
Get Truff from Amazon: the black truffle hot sauce for $17.98, the "hotter" sauce for $17.98, and the white truffle hot sauce for $34.99.

I have one of these babies in a smaller size and it has been a game changer. I headed off to my parents' for a few months before the holidays and packed all my day-to-day jewels in it.

This will put any card they give you to shame — you're totally winning V-Day this year.
Promising review: "I bought this to fill out for our 25th wedding anniversary. I highly suggest you have a worksheet to plan out your words before you put them in the book. That way you can avoid being too repetitive because a lot of the prompts can be similar. This was a hit. It was small and simple but he can tell that I put a lot of thought into it. It will be for his eyes only because I made it very personal. I knew I it was a winner when he smiled and laughed while reading it. I think I’m going to order some of the different themes ones for other family members." —T

Promising review: "Used it on a hike recently; tried different configurations as shown, with the drinking straight out of the river, and out of a wide-mouth bottle. The flow-rate through the LifeStraw is a little reminiscent of drinking a really thick milkshake, which is understandable considering the filter basically gets everything. When I filled up my Nalgene with water from the stream, I could see the sediment start to settle; I even made sure to get some with the straw just to see. Worked like a charm. You just need to remember to blow into it afterwards to clear out the straw." —Kingston

I've been using this hand cream for the last few months and am a big fan. The lotion comes out in a thin ribbon and doesn't leave my hands feeling greasy — just moisturized!
Promising review: "This hand cream is like no other, it is extremely lightweight so you can continue with your day without the greasy feeling but still get loads of hydration! The packaging is also beautiful and catches the eye of anyone nearby! I would also love for it to be refillable but other than that it is for sure an amazing product!" —Naomi W.

Promising review: "I gotta say this is the best sharpener I ever bought in my whole life. I got it today and brought it to work. I work at a Japanese restaurant as a sushi chef and I sharpened it at work and, wow, my knife was as sharp as a samurai sword! Even my coworkers were surprised and asked me to order one for them. Thanks for the product ! Now I don't have to use the stone or sharpen rod that much anymore." —Rodrigo

C4 Labs is a Washington-based Etsy shop established in 2013 that specializes in designed cases, dice trays, towers, and gaming accessories.
Promising review: "I am sooo glad I found these! We formed a couple of DnD/Pathfinder groups with a mix of co-workers and friends. We get together outside of work and take turns hosting. When we all get together we are always scrambling for coasters and sometimes have to improvise. THESE WERE THE ANSWER TO OUR PRAYERS!!!!! I got one for everyone in their favorite color. They would have been awesome just with the designs on the walnut or black but they are that much more perfect with the dice holder. You can keep your drink and the dice that have kept you at the top of the initiative and alive thus far close at hand. The options, design, quality and reasonable price make this THE PERFECT GIFT. These are something you didn't know you needed. GET THEM. You won't be sorry. Don't forget your DM when buying these. Just sayin..." —Alannah667

I have had a few of these over the years and love to reuse the ceramic containers to hold jewelry and other trinkets after I've finished burning them. My husband often tries to steal my Paddy Wax candles away from me — it's easily his favorite of all the candle brands I've tried over the years. I recently snagged the dusty pink "love ya" candle and thought to myself "wow, this would make a great Valentine's Day gift," not to mention it smells deliciously of vanilla and tobacco.

Promising review: "I bought this as a surprise for my significant other, and he LOVED it!

Everything fit perfectly, and the socks in the pizza box looked exactly like what was expected! Thanks so much!" —Logan
Promising review: "I love the sexy scent of this candle and it's super cute. I have it on my coffee table and can smell it even when it's not lit. I've seen it at home stores for more $$ than this. I will definitely be ordering more, especially to give as gifts." —Wrenn Patterson

This seemingly average little cleaning pen is filled with a high-performance formula that cleans jewelry like nothing I've ever experienced. It contains micro-fine cleansers, polishing agents, and a polymer that will make your gems so shiny they'll nearly blind you. I've used it on my diamond rings, but it also works wonders on my cubic zirconia earrings. Check out my full review of the Connoisseurs 1050 Diamond Dazzle Stick.
Promising review: "The center stone of my ring (an oval white sapphire) has been cloudy since shortly after I got it. I have to use a lot of hand sanitizer at work, which gets under the stone. This product was easy to use. The little brush gets under the stone really well (much better than a toothbrush). My ring looks like new." —FintanCat

I actually did buy this for my best friend when she was starting to get so stressed out about her daily migraines. It helped immensely!
Promising review: "I can't give this product enough stars! I have suffered from debilitating chronic migraines for years. Prescription medications, while effective, usually make me extremely tired and result in rebound headaches, so I rarely take them. This oil blend is especially great for the days when I have a migraine, but am unable to stay home and rest. This takes the edge off the pain enough that I am still able to go about my day and do everything I need to do. I also love the way it smells. I sometimes roll it on my wrists just to enjoy the energizing fragrance." —Lacey V

I just love Rifle Paper Co. and know that if I was having a rather stressful day, glancing over at this beautiful mug would fill me with joy.
Promising review: "These cups are exquisite. I bought 3 and will get more! They look exactly like the photos. Colors are vivid and beautiful. Gold lettering is thick and still subtle (you can see it if you want to and you can watch it disintegrate too. Super well done). Ceramic is solid yet not clunky. Excellent quality. I love a good British cuppa, especially if it's made out of fine bone china. These are not, yet hold the heat equally well and are almost as tender on the lip. Totally in love :)" —LiselFrench
Get it from Anthropologie for $14 (available in 26 styles).
Promising review: "I’ve been having so many issues with my feet the last few years. My feet hurt so bad, it’s made me become a hermit. I’ve had tendinitis in both and now plantar fasciitis. I get foot cramps all the time. After just one day with this under my desk at work, I feel a huge difference. My feet no longer feel tight and painful. They feel tingly — in a good way. I look forward to being able to go for a walk and not have to rest along the way. I know it’s meant for feet but I may try it out on my calves. I also love that it’s small, looks nice and doesn’t slide around. I highly recommended this for anyone, foot issues or not, if you sit a lot. Nice way to keep the blood flowing when stuck at a desk." —Vanessa Thomas

Promising review: "I initially bought these necklaces as gifts and ended up buying an extra one for myself. I absolutely love it and wear it every day. It’s so bright and despite wearing it every day, it does not look dull or tarnished at all. It is most definitely worth it to buy one. My daughter has a Kate Spade necklace and mine is brighter than hers!" —Maria C.
