    8. A splatter guard to protect you from sizzling oil splashes that would just love to hop on out of the pan and land on your bare skin. Plus, now you won't have to give your entire stove a deep clean just because you were in the mood for latkes.

    9. A portable bug bite suction tool that reviewers say helps reduce itching and swelling from a mosquito, bee, or wasp sting. It literally SUCKS the venom right out of your skin!

    10. Some seriously strong Better Life all-natural tile and tub cleaner — it'll leave your tub, tile, grout, fixtures, sinks, toilet seats, and even shower walls, doors, and curtains sparkling like new — *without* the gross artificial smell you tend to get from other cleaners. Just spray, let it sit for 15 minutes, and when you come back, the soap scum, mold, mildew, rust, and hard-water stains will easily wipe right off!

    Promising review: "I have an old shower/bathtub. I tried name-brand shower cleaners and bleach to try to clean the soap scum off the tiles and tub. I had no luck and I would cough and get sick because of how strong the smell was. I thought I would try this to save my lungs. I sprayed my entire shower and left it for about 15 minutes. I came back and rinsed off the walls and they were shiny! I've never had such a clean shower. The smell is amazing and subtle. All I smell is tea tree and it didn't affect me at all. The price is also a good deal since the bottle is pretty large. It came with the sprayer separate and the bottle sealed so it wouldn't leak in the box. I highly recommend this." —Amber Erwin

    PhoneSoap is a small business that creates products to help you keep your phone germ-free.

    Promising review: "I love that I can put my phone in there after I get home and it is sanitized in no time at all. I work in health care and I makes me feel better about having my phone at work." —Tammy

    Get it from Amazon for $64.95+ (available in six colors).

    27. A Baker's Edge brownie pan, because you know you wanna live in a world where *every* piece is an edge piece.

    Promising review: "Because this pan is intended for the 'brownie-edge lover,' if you aren't one, this is not the pan for you. Now if you're still reading then you must have heard the rumors about this pan. Not being one that makes brownies more than once a month I just couldn't convince myself to spend over $30 on a pan. Now that I have it I will never go back to a standard pan for brownies. It gives every brownie at least two chewy edges, it's totally nonstick, and there is no oiling or flouring necessary. Cleanup is easy. A little hot water, soap, rinse, dry, and voilà!" —Cricket

    Get it from Amazon for $36.95.

    28. A portable campfire perfect for anyone who doesn't feel like dealing with the hassle of building and cleaning up after a fire. Simply light it with a match or lighter and extinguish by covering with the lid. It actually puts out an impressive amount of heat without a bunch of smoke, so you can say goodbye to burning eyes and soot-smelling clothes. Plus, it's reusable, and each fire should last around three to five hours!

    29. A pair of footed sweatpants you'll never want to take off once you try them. The feet are sherpa-lined for maximum coziness, but are also removable for warmer days!

    34. A pop-up card that's a gift in itself! Why spend money on a card destined for the trash bin, when you can send friends or loved ones something a lil' more unique that they'll wanna keep on display!

    36. And finally, a pair of discreet, form-fitting acoustic filter earplugs that'll reduce damaging decibel levels without hurting the sound quality. Hate bulky earplugs that never fit comfortably, look clunky, and make concerts sound like they're happening underwater? Then you need to give these a shot.
