I can't be the only one scrambling to turn off those terrifying commercials.
This is the first weighted blanket I've tried and I really do think it has helped relax my body at night. It makes me feel like I'm being enveloped in a warm hug and being snuggled to sleep — and who wouldn't want that?
Promising review: "I am obsessed with this weighted blanket!!! I literally cannot describe how relaxing and calming the feeling of this blanket is. It's super soft to the touch and sooo comfy. I have trouble falling asleep but this blanket makes it feel like you're sleeping on a cloud. I never want to get out of bed! Love love love." —decordiva

Promising review: "Great product. Doesn't drown out the noise completely, but a majority of it is. I am using these currently in nursing school and I'm one of those students who needs complete silence in order to study. These have been great for just that! I'm able to study in the same room as my husband, while he watches TV (on a reasonable low volume, mind you) and it doesn't interrupt my thinking. Great for test taking as well. Keeps me focused through the test without all that background noise. Love these plugs!" —Nurse26

Kangaroo lets you create the perfect home security plan for your family. Do you have a pet? No worries, the app will help you set it up so that your pup won't trigger the sensor. You can monitor your entire home for free or subscribe for more security options.
Promising review: "I ordered the motion sensor with Prime and it was delivered to my door in less than 48 hours, incredibly easy to install and sync to the phone app! I have had zero technical issues in the week that I have had it. When the motion sensor picks up movement both the app and the Kangaroo staff are quick to respond! I definitely would recommend this as an incredibly easy, safe and affordable way to ensure the safety of your home and loved ones!" —Molly

We've all been there — making our coffee or tea only to set it down and forget about until it's cooled down completely. Thanks to this mug warmer none of us ever have to suffer through another cold cup of caffeine again! It has received over 4K five-star reviews on Amazon, so you know it's a big freakin' deal.
Promising review: "I'm a chronic coffee forgetter. I can't drink it straight from the brewer (too hot for me) so I set my mug down to cool slightly and often get distracted. Of course I then come back to my coffee to find it's already cold. I've currently got the warmer at my office and it's working great. I can sip my coffee leisurely over the course of an hour and it's still nice and warm." —Elle

Promising review: "I've had this device for a little while now and I absolutely love it! Light detector and motion detector work together to only turn the toilet light on when it senses darkness and movement. I love that there are 16 different colors you can choose from; and with each 16 colors you can raise or lower the brightness which kind of makes color choices even bigger if you consider the different color brightness a new color. You can either leave your toilet light cycling through all 16 colors while on, or you have the option of choosing one of the colors and keeping it on that color. I ended up getting two of these toilet lights for both of my bathrooms and my guests, as well as I, love it." —Sergio Rios

Promising review: "It gets pretty warm in my wife's home office because of the afternoon sun beaming in the window. This fan now allows her to comfortably do her work in the afternoon without having to turn the AC way down. It's pretty quiet and doesn't cause distraction and she says it's powerful for as small as it is. She really enjoys the moving air in her workspace and she would definitely recommend this perfect convenience device. Great buy!" —Pitt Hamilton

What? Was I the only one who did that?
Promising review: "I got this as a surprise for my boyfriend. He moved to my state from Texas for college. I wasn't sure about how it would smell but I figured even if he wasn't a fan it would be neat as a decoration for his room. When I surprised him with the candle and he smelled it, he actually got very emotional and started crying because he said the smell instantly brought back so many memories of home. I don't know how they did it, but Homesick Candles managed to replicate the smell of home so well in this candle that it took my boyfriend back home immediately. Definitely worth my money:)" —Bailey K

I have all three of these candles and they are so delightful. Their scents aren't overpowering and fill my room with a lovely, but subtle, aroma. Don't get me started on how nice they look on display!

Promising review: "This item is the real deal, very well made and I love the color. It is the perfect tool to carry in my bag, lightweight, slim, and well made. Not at all like the bulky pocket knife my husband takes with him in the car. The five tools seem to perfectly address my needs. The scissors are the feature I use the most, but the nail file is definitely a close second. I particularly love that the end of the file doubles as a screwdriver! It has proved the perfect size for eyeglass repair as well as for opening those tiny screws to the battery compartments in toys and electronic items." —Gilles Family

My uncle recently was trying to fix some wiring in the dark in his basement, held his flashlight in between his teeth, and then CRACKED all four of his front teeth. He spent more in dental bills than he would've on an electrician. I'll be getting him these gloves.
Promising review: "This was the best gift to give to my husband who is an electrician who always is using a flashlight but needs his hands as well. There are two lights on each glove — one on the index finger and one on the thumb. The lights are BRIGHT! My husband has big hands so I was worried about the fit but material is spandex so it stretches a lot. Would recommend!" —yvonne horner

Promising review: "I can't get over how cute it is. It's very small, I was afraid it might be big and goofy looking, but it's scaled like actual little mushrooms, and isn't too attention grabbing. The mushrooms themselves are pink, and while I would've preferred white for even more realism and subtlety, they're still painfully cute and whimsical. Despite being tiny, they are the perfect brightness. They are dim enough to not interrupt sleep and be pleasant to look at, but plenty bright enough to dimly light a small room to see when you need to go to the bathroom." —Taylor C.

I'm tearing up just even writing that movie title.
Lately I've been playing lighthearted games on the Nintendo Switch Lite to distract my mind from Sunday Scaries, so it only makes sense the same would work for ACTUAL scary situations! Might I suggest picking up something extremely fun but VERY childish like Yoshi's Crafted World? Let yourself get immersed in his adorable yarn land instead of whatever terrifying commercial keeps playing while you're trying to watch some wholesome TV.

I was gifted a year of Book of the Month for my birthday one year and to date it is one of the best things I've received. There are few things as satisfying as getting truly lost in the pages of a good book — and it'll provide for a great distraction for your mind if you've recently been watching something super scary. Each month you'll be permitted to choose one of four books, all of which are different genres. Then the book you selected will be delivered to your door. Magic! Excuse me, I need to re-up my subscription.

Promising review: "I walked four miles with my dogs today at 5:30 a.m. on a very foggy morning on a greenway that has some dark and scary spots. This flashlight is amazing, very bright, love the zoom feature, nothing hides from me now! It's well built and feels substantial in your hand, but isn't too bulky. I don't review often, so this one is special" —michael

While you can't choose which critters you get, Amazon customers have noted that there haven't been any duplicates in their sets!
Promising review: "These were a huge success on Easter Sunday! My girls absolutely loved them! Although they do get dirty pretty easily, we have found that if you wash them with some mild dish soap and then, when dry, rub some baby powder on them, they stay clean and soft a lot longer. You can rinse and repeat ;)"—Bookly

Promising review: "Very nostalgic for me. Cooks more popcorn at one time than the microwave bags and does it just as quickly with no burning. I just added salt and some butter and it was perfect every time. Very easy to clean and store away as well." —Tammy

Promising review: "Product was as described, wrapped in newspaper (love environmentally friendly packaging), and I received the product in three days. Sage smelled great and is authentic California sage. It had a long-lasting burn and did not die until I blew out the fire. I smudged my entire house within 10 minutes and was still left with a nearly whole smudge stick. I estimate it burned about half an inch in 10 minutes. The product is potent but pleasant smelling. It also worked really well to neutralize smoke odors in a friend’s car and to neutralize pet odors. This is now my go-to spiritual and air cleanser!" —smileykay

Promising review: "I waited over a month to write this review because I thought no way could these headphones actually be this good for the price. But I use them all day everyday. I have never been more impressed with headphones under $50. I have sensitive ears with headphones and am super picky but these are so comfortable I can sleep in them. Noise reduction is great when something is playing. Fast charge, easy to pair Bluetooth or wire jack, play/pause and fwd/rwd buttons are handy. Overall definitely worth the buy, highly recommend." —Whitney O'Neil

Promising review: "Imagine being nervous that someone will hate your gift at the exchange. Some one finally picks it, slowly unwraps it, and silence. You feel panicked as you have to hint how to change the colors without giving it away. They slowly reveal the face of Nick Cage. Dead silence before the face of absolute joy spreads on their face. Tears come out their eyes as they laugh loudly. They are super thankful for the gift, because they love the Cage. Made my week with that happiness." —Caitlyn Tatar
