13. A shampoo scalp brush that'll give them a relaxing lil' massage every time they wash their hair while deep cleaning and exfoliating their scalp. Some reviewers even claim it helps with psoriasis, dandruff, and scalp tenderness!
Here's what BuzzFeed editor Emma Lord has to say about it:
"I recently started using one of these and WOWZA, it really helps you get extra mileage out of your shampoo. I have a whole lot of hair on my head so sometimes it's a struggle to feel like I've soaped up my whole scalp thorough, but this was a very effective way to spread out the suds and really get them to the roots. I was worried it might tangle in my hair, but it was totally fine on that front, too. I've noticed that my hair has been a little less greasy at the roots since I started using it. And I'm echoing a ton of reviewers here when I say it just feels reeeeeally, really nice."
Promising review: "I’ve suffered from dry skin and a dry scalp ever since I turned 30. The only thing that helps me is exfoliating. I was initially concerned that the product would be too rough and damage my sensitive scalp or too soft and ineffective. However, this brush is perfect for me. It does not tangle my long hair, it is easy to use and just firm enough to get the job done. My scalp no longer itches and the icky buildup is gone. I can’t believe something so affordable has made such a difference in the health of my scalp. I’ve used expensive shampoos and conditioners to no end with barely a difference. I wish I discovered this product much sooner!" —AH

19. An interactive magic cat ball for anyone whose feline friend never gives them a moment of peace. This smart-toy will move around randomly, automatically change direction after colliding with something, and even has auto-shutoff after 30 minutes so their cat doesn't lose interest.
Promising review: “My cat is lazy, and a bit overweight. I wanted to find a toy that would encourage her to run around the house and exercise, and this does just that. At first she was a little hesitant to play, but after watching it zoom around the house for a while she got the hang of it and now 'hunts' it. She will chase this toy all over the house with ease. This little toy never gets caught or stuck on anything. The battery lasts forever and doesn't take too long to charge either. It's a great toy for a picky cat.” —Amber Mobley

Check out what BuzzFeed editor Emma Lord has to say about it:
"People also swear by this for camping! It comes in other pretty colors, but I am especially partial to this one because I bought it for my parents (their kitchen is entirely pink and one of my favorite places on Earth), and this was SO EASY to use — not to mention super safe! I'm a big weenie about fire (LOL, self-preservation) so I've always stuck to extended arm gas lighters, but this is much better for the environment (plus cuter), so I feel a lot better about using it."

51. A wine aerator that's easy to pop right into the bottle before pouring to ensure that they get to experience the *best* flavor their vino of choice has to offer.
52. And a wine stain remover spray for those moments when putting their glass in a precarious position turns out to be a ~pour~ decision.
53. Speaking of wine — a wine purifier that can help alleviate hangovers so they can enjoy their fave beverage without the headache. All they've gotta do is swirl it around in their glass before drinking to help remove histamines and sulfites (aka ~headache ingredients~), and it'll do its thing without changing the taste or color of their vino!
54. Or a bottle of Drop It that naturally removes wine sulfates and tannins in just 20 seconds *without* altering the flavor, instead of the single-use wands that have to sit in the glass and require three minutes of stirring. Drop It is a quick, portable, cost-effective, and discreet solution that's been verified as the *only* product that removes these compounds in red, white, rosé, and sparkling wine. Plus, one lil' bottle can be used for up to 55 glasses of vino, *and* it's made with an all-natural, keto-friendly formula that doesn't contain any gluten, soy, dairy, or GMOs!
Drop It recommends one to two drops for each glass of white wine, two to three for a glass of red, and seven to nine if you're treating the whole bottle at once. Once it's in the glass, swirl lightly for 20 seconds, and you should be good to go!
Promising review: "I became really sensitive to wine in my 30s and through a lot of trial and painful error, I thought I might have to give up on wine altogether. Then I found out about the preservatives being a possible cause and decided to give this product a shot. So glad I did!! I'm still pretty sensitive to reds but this helps tremendously so that I can have a glass with dinner without a headache immediately settling in. Whites cause me no problem what so ever! I love that it takes so little product to make a difference to a whole bottle. Just a few drops, a few minutes, and we are good to go." —CastawayIrons

70. Some Trader Joe's Everything But The Elote Seasoning to add the delicious flavor of Mexican street corn to any dish! They should definitely try this incredible mix of salt, chili pepper, cheese, chipotle, and cumin on corn, but it's also great on other veggies, meats, eggs, nuts, popcorn, and more for a subtly smoky, sweet, spicy, and tangy kick.
71. And Trader Joe's Cuban-style citrusy garlic for whenever their dishes need a bright garlicky and tangy punch. It's amazing on everything from fish and veggies to pork and chicken, proving once again that TJ doesn't mess around when it comes to putting together outstanding seasoning blends.

These glasses are MUCH lighter weight and don't smash my nose when I try to sit up. Five stars. They block all lights behind you when wearing these; the light reflects into the glasses." —customer
