Promising review: "I love these earrings! They are so dainty and delicate, yet they're blingy enough to make an impact! I absolutely love how the stars look like they're floating!! So elegant and for the price, wow! Anyone would think I spent more on these than I actually did." —Ruth E Nunez

They've got memory foam insoles and a non-skid sole!
Promising review: "I got these when my $80 fancy Kate Spade slippers fell apart (literally!) after less than a year of non-daily wear (complete waste of money, although they were gorgeous). I didn't really have high hopes for these, but needed something somewhat cute and warm fast without spending too much money. I must say I was very pleasantly surprised!! These slippers are super cute, soft, and cozy (lined felt and rubber soles). AND apparently they can be washed which is s huge plus! The quality seems top notch and I am pretty sure that these will last a while. I normally wear size 9 shoes and ordered size 7-8 based on others' suggestions — that fits me perfectly. I couldn't be any happier with my slippers and will be buying more as gifts." —Kairi

Promising review: "I bought this mug for my best friend who's one of the biggest Harry Potter fans I've ever seen. I took it out of the packaging and just wrapped the black mug. Her birthday card said to enjoy her coffee in it and then call me. I've never heard her more giddy than once she poured her hot coffee in and the map magically appeared. She sent me a video the next morning so I could see it in action. It works SO WELL! Such a fun gift and great idea. 5+ stars!!!" —kel07

It's available in tons of versions, from ones for moms and dads and grandmas and grandpas to more general ones like "Why you make me smile" and "What I love about you."
Promising review: "This is an adorable little book that is sure to bring tears to the eyes of whoever you're gifting it to! I purchased this and filled it in for my mom for Mother's Day. She loved it! And now she displays it in the living room, proud of the sweet daughter she has. If you're worried about getting a gift but you don't want to spend too much, this great! Takes a little bit of time to fill in, but definitely worth it when you see the look of joy on the person's face. I also purchased this for my boyfriend, some time after I had done it for my mom. It took some time to fill in, and it took some thinking, but it was enjoyable for both myself and for him. I found myself crossing out, adding in, and modifying a number of the pages, and it was still very cute! When we got into a fight later on, my boyfriend added in his own comments and things he loves about me, and slipped it into my handbag one day. You can believe I cried when I found it. I think this little book holds so much sentimental value, it's really just a great little gift." —Emilie C.

Promising review: "This was a gift I gave my 45-year-old son! Yes, they never leave the fart phase ;). But this book is actually filled with very interesting info — there's lots of science written in an entertaining fashion, and the simple illustrations fit perfectly. I'll admit that I read it before giving it to my son. He will now be the most popular teacher on his high school campus because hey, who else knows that sloths don't fart? LOL! If you're looking for something different for a gift, consider this. I think I'm going to order another one!" —Maryann Watkins

It claims to last for up to 15 hours with a single charge and has a range of 33 feet!
Promising review: "This speaker is like my 3-year-old daughter: tiny, cute, and loud. I'm not an audiophile, so I'm sure this doesn't compare to a Bose or a Sonos unit, but to my ears it sounds fantastic, and it's a third of the price of high-end units. It's got a rich bass and a full high range without sounding tinny or echo-y. It's definitely loud enough to fill my entire house, or even my backyard, with music without getting distorted." —Josh T. Nite
Get it from Amazon for $69.87 (available in three colors).
It's also got tons of adorable details like a fridge, oven, and microwave that actually open and stove knobs that make sizzling sounds!

There's even a clever attachment that can hold a phone flat to capture their little hands at work from above, just like a certain kind of popular cooking video I've seen 😉.

Promising review: "I ordered these to make an anniversary present for my partner. It was the perfect blank canvas to work on, and it took Apoixe sculpt really well — was easy to paint and held it perfectly. This is so much easier than modifying a pre-made Funko." —Shayracha

Promising review: "'The winner takes all, its the thrill of one more kill, the lASt one to fAAaallll will never SACrifice....'

Kids draw tiles that tell them how many times to "feed" the sheep so her coat of bubbles grows, but after a certain number of feedings she'll sneeze and make bubbles go everywhere! If she doesn't sneeze when they've completed their turn, they keep the tile and whoever ends up with the most tiles wins!
Promising review: "This is such a fun game for young and old! Had a total blast playing this with my 3-year-old grandchild. Set up was easy — just rub on some bubble solution with the included bottle, push down the two side levers, and you are ready to play. This didn't make a mess at all and cleanup was super easy. We all loved this game. Good clean fun!!" —V.

Promising review: "I bought these to wear for my trip to NYC. We did a lot of walking and it was going to rain, and I was hoping these would work. They blew me away! I was able to walk in them all day with no foot pain. After getting rained on (the patent material kept them from getting soggy) it felt like they stretched a bit. I added extra support insoles and they were even more perfect. They look cute with nearly everything and give my five-foot frame a little height. I'm very thankful for these awesome shoes!" —courtbu

Promising review: "I love this onesie! I’m 5’1" and usually wear a small or medium. I ended up getting a small because I read that it runs big. It’s really soft! It's baggy (which I expected and don’t mind) which makes it comfortable to move around in and really cozy. I'd definitely recommend!" —Stephanie

He comes with a mini book about the history of inflatable tube men (a subject we all should have been taught in school, tbh) and works with either a 9-volt battery or AC adapter (not included).
Promising review: "I opened the package and screamed for joy! As I placed the 9-volt battery my hands were trembling with what was going to happen next! As I turned on the wacky waving inflatable tube man I knew I had a friend for life. Someone you can really count on cheering you up when you are feeling down. He brought me such joy I started to cry with laughter and happiness." —Robert Wurstner
