Promising review: "Just had to use one of these that I keep on my keychain. I was first on the scene of a nasty wrong-way crash. The driver and a passenger were stuck inside the vehicle. The doors could not be easily opened (on the driver side) so I pulled out my keys and used this tool to pop out the window. It instantly caused the tempered glass to shatter and I knocked the excess away with my flashlight before using a knife to cut away at the airbags. The woman survived and it was incredibly comforting for her to see me face to face and know that she had a way out and that she wasn't stuck. We waited for a little and paramedics arrived and were able to give everyone the care they needed. This was a real-life scenario and this product worked. Would absolutely recommend." —Madison

Promising review: "I bought one of these massagers for my mom as a Mother’s Day gift, because she works standing up the whole day and suffers from leg pain when she gets home. This massager has completely changed her life. Once she gets home, she plugs it in and puts the massager underneath her legs, and she says it soothes them until she feels no pain. When the timer goes off (after twenty minutes), she can walk like a new person again. She loves this massager, and she even said it’s one of the best presents I’ve EVER given to her. I couldn’t be happier! I even went and bought one for myself, and I use it in my car on my way home from work. It's so convenient that it comes with a cigarette lighter connector to plug it in in my car. Once I get home, I take it out and my wife uses it on our bed." —Jose C.

Promising review: "This stainless steel pot is a self contained, multifunctional, and innovative design. I love how I can cook pasta in it, bring it to the sink, pull up the pasta strainer part, and the water simply drains out. No need for pouring into a colander anymore! Also the upper removable steamer basket is so convenient, and it sits high enough that you can cook another item below it in the main pot at the same time. I also appreciate having the glass lid with the steam release hole; I can see how the food is progressing without opening the lid. This pot is easy to store because all the steamer/strainer sections are all nested within the main pot. Cleans perfectly in dishwasher too! Very happy with this pot and enjoying all the new cooking options it offers!" —Rosebeans

It'll also help eliminate odor thanks to the green tea — something sweaty sleepers like me (was that TMI?) will probably be very thankful for.
Promising review: "I bought this mainly just to add two inches to a mattress so it would clear a wooden box frame. When I first got it, I was worried that it would be much too soft (I've slept on a firmer mattress for years). I slept like a baby the first night on it. I've been sleeping on it now for over a week and I'm consistently sleeping better. I've also noticed that I have less lower back pain when I wake up, and throughout the day. To say that I'm happy with my purchase is an understatement." —C Chapman

This slim plunger can reach way deeper into your toilet to take on stubborn clogs. You can even use it like a squeegee along the sides of the bowl in place of a toilet brush. Plus, it comes with a sleek and discreet caddy!
Promising review: "Honestly I didn't think this was going to work, BUT I am so glad I was wrong! I love how easy it is to use and most of all, how QUICKLY it unclogs my toilet!!! I just shove it down the toilet hole, use the motion of pushing it in and out a couple of times, take it out completely, and the toilet drains with ease! I'm not using all my strength to unclog toilets anymore, and no worries about nasty toilet water splashing everywhere, and it cleans super easily....BEST THING I EVER BOUGHT ON THE INTERNET!!!" —Laura

It works on lids from 1-3.5 inches wide!
Promising review: "I have arthritis and also a demyelinating neurological disorder that causes pain and weakness in hands. I've had trouble for years opening jars and bottles. My husband (love him dearly) bought this for me and it has been a lifesaver. I've used this to open pickle jars, jam, soda bottles, and even my water bottles. It's adjustable and uses little metal teeth, but if you secure it nicely on the lid it works spectacularly! No more frustrating nights home alone not being able to open things. This device has been great for me and I recommend it! Keep in mind, there is a crank handle to turn on the top of it to adjust the teeth to meet the diameter of the lid, so if your pain is too bad or you have loss of dexterity in your hands this may not work for you, but it's worth a try. I was a little scared of the twist knob on the top, but haven't had any trouble with it." —M.L.

It comes with five microfiber sleeves!
Promising review: "Where has this blind cleaner been for the past 50 years???? I have struggled to keep my blinds clean for so many years, and happily found this item. It WORKS!!! And I love that it comes with extra sleeves, and the sleeves are machine washable. The handle is plastic, but I feel confident it won't break any time soon." —marionvgt

It claims to filter out 99.9999% of bacteria, and can be reused tons of times (for drinking up to 1,000 gallons!). Plus, with each straw purchased, the company provides clean water to a child for a year. No wonder it's got over 7,700 positive reviews. Check out BuzzFeed's full write-up on the LifeStraw.
Promising review: "This thing is no joke! I took it backpacking in Maine's Bigelow range. When I ran out of the water I brought, I was A-OK with this. On top of one of the lower peaks, I drank from the most disgusting-looking crevice filled with brown scum. I thought, this is going to be safe, but taste horrid. WRONG. IT TASTED LIKE THE FRESHEST SPRING WATER, better than any tap. I'm from Maine, and I've tasted plenty of water right from mountain springs, so take my word for it. One note: it can be a little challenging to use at first. You have to start by soaking it; if it still doesn't work, blow into it a bit. Get one for your outdoor adventures, and one for your bug-out bag, which everyone should have in case of natural disaster." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I bought this over a year ago and used it on several long flights. As I like to sit on the aisle, it was the first time I'd slept comfortably on a plane without my head hanging out in the aisle. I also recently used it on an eight-hour bus ride and found it worked very well there, too. The fabric is soft yet not overly warm so I don't get overheated. While on the bus trip, I passed the Trtl around as people were fascinated by it, and unfortunately, someone sat on it and broke the insides. I ordered a new one immediately as I don't want to be without it on my next vacation. I haven't used it riding in the car, but I imagine it would be great there, too. I highly recommend it!" —iltxok2

Promising review: "I've known I needed this for a long time, but if I could just use another book to prop open my current book, why wasn't that good enough? Being a bibliophile, there are books open in nearly every room of my house. I bought three and put them to use immediately. It's so nice to have my book open and ready when I want to read a few pages or have prepared myself a snack to settle in for a longer read. The weight is just right to keep even larger books open, and the texture of the material keeps it from sliding down the page. I'll be buying more of these as gifts!" —Mary Roberts

It helps you comfortably assume a squatting posture, which is the prime position for emptying your bowels with ease. Also, sorry for saying "stool."
Promising review: "I love the Squatty Potty and you will too. It works like a charm. You'll wonder how you got along without it all these years. Think of your bowels turning into a laundry chute! That's the best way I can explain it. You will have more time on your hands once you own a Squatty Potty. You go into the bathroom and you're out in seconds, not 10, 15, or 20 minutes as in the past. Business owners should buy these for their bathrooms, because their employees would take less time on bathroom breaks, really! In fact, if the government would invest in these for every bathroom, the legislative process would speed up. You'll be glad you got one, for those from five to 95!" —campromise

I give it a 1029374902383094802 out of 10, excellent product, would buy again like 12 times, easily the most iconic and legendary SpongeBob figurine anyone could ever own EVER. It's a little more expensive than most Pops but it's literally worth every penny." —Amazon Customer

You guys I am straight-up sobbing rn because it actually comes with a little note that says "Use it well." in Dumbledore's handwriting. 😭 The packaging is gorgeous and would also be perfect for gifting to someone to make them feel like they're living Harry's first Christmas at Hogwarts. It even comes with a little tripod to help them capture the magic!
Promising review: "First of all, I have never seen my kids run to the door when Amazon delivered a package like they ran for this one! We're HUGE Harry Potter fans, so this was something they wanted as soon as they heard about it. It did not disappoint. There was a little learning curve in taking the photo (where the cloak makes you disappear) just because you really DO need to keep the camera super steady, but it was fun seeing the floating head in the photos. The green side of the cape makes you disappear (like a green screen does on a TV) and the other side you can just wear as a costume. I have a feeling one of the kids will be wearing this for Halloween. All in all, a really fun piece of Harry Potter nostalgia." —Carolyn West

Promising review: "This hair finishing stick is perfect for people who need to have their hair completely out of their face. I coach figure skating, and during competitions my students need a clean, every-hair-in-place look. I grabbed this gel to try it out on them and it’s great! It's not sticky at all and the mascara-like brush does a fantastic job of grabbing all the little flyaway hairs and keeping them in place. I also liked that it didn’t leave a crunchy, gel-like look. And it smells so good! Very light scent but you can tell it's there. It’s a product my students will now keep in their skating bags!" —Gwen Merecky
