Promising review: "Finally the solution to my issue. My eyeglasses would always dig into the back of my ear on one side, not to mention they would slip down my nose from time to time. Tried a different pair of guards and they just did not do the job. Purchased these and what a difference. My glasses have never fit better, and oftentimes I forget to take them off they're so comfortable. Best purchase decision EVER." —Andrea Lincoln

Promising review: "Got compliments on its first travel day! So easy to use and sturdy. I use one side for drinks, the other side for sandwiches, and the small pocket for receipts, napkins, or utensils. Made traveling easy. ***This is best used with a suitcase that can roll on four wheels if you plan on using it for drinks you purchase at the airport!*** I’m sure it can be used with two-wheeled suitcases, but be aware of your drinks. If your drink is in a fully enclosed container, then no worries. If your drinks have sip openings, you might spill." —Joanne Livingston

Promising review: "I bought a 20 pack of these and started to organize my shoes which were taking over the shoe closet. I ended up buying another 20 pack two days later as this was a lifesaver. Made it easy to organize and store my shoes. This is a no-brainer." —Jason C.

Promising review: "I will admit I first saw this soap on TikTok and thought that it would be a nice soap to try since I do seem to be washing my hands all the time these days. I was so excited when I received it to give it a try, really just to see the pretty foam flower. I was very pleasantly surprised when I pushed down (twice) to get the foam to come out and not only is the flower cute but the foam is thick and luxurious and makes your hands feel totally moisturized after you wash them. The smell is very pretty and not overpowering at all. My teenager loves it too and is now finally washing her hands more like she is supposed to. I bought them for every bathroom in the house as well as the kitchen. I almost don't want to recommend it so they don't run out of stock!" —Audra Williams

It's top-rack dishwasher safe!
Promising review: "My son loves this. He has leftovers just to use it again. Makes tacos for dinner so much more fun and easy as I can fill it up and it doesn't tip over. I never put two in at a time because I don't want the second taco getting cold but one with two slots was all I could find. But that didn't matter — this was the best money I have spent in a while." —Tia Lopez

I'm always skeptical of high-tech versions of everyday products, thinking they'll be gimmicky or unnecessary extra work. But after a friend told me about these, I was able to submit the needed nail pics in minutes, and I don't have to worry about taking them again when I order new styles (which I have done several times since learning about the brand six months ago). Each set comes with a cleansing pad, file, and 15 gel stickers — so if you mess up or one comes off, there are extras. I will say that it took me a while to get the hang of applying them, especially with my super-short nails (lifelong nail biter here). The first several times I used them, some nails would lose their stickers pretty quickly. It was annoying, but the patterns that I could never ever achieve on my own (again, short nails = terrible for nail art) still looked darn cool alternating with plain nail polish on the nails that had lost their gels. However, the last two times I've done them — with the two designs above — my standout mani stayed fully intact for DAYS. The practice definitely paid off, and it's important to follow the directions, press down hard as you apply, trim any rough edges, and top with a light layer of topcoat. If I need to try to re-stick one that's fallen off and I've already tossed the prep pad, I use a rubberized base coat. The creative prints (often created in collab with famous nail artists) just make me so happy every time I look at my nails!!! They also make designs for toes and solid hues if your style is more minimal. I will continue to be a regular customer every time they drop new designs!
Get the zebra print for $7.50 or the rainbow stripes for $15 (both originally $25), both from ManiMe.
It comes with an optional adjustable swivel base!
Promising review: "I got this on a whim that it would improve my driving experience and it has significantly. I did not attach the swivel base as others had mentioned in these reviews and my experience has been great. Lets you see your blind spot pretty well. Where it really shines is parking and backing up, it gives a ton more visibility." —Stork

It can expand to hold up to two cups.
Promising review: "I love love love these. It’s the ONLY way to measure peanut butter, Crisco, and other spackle-like ingredients. No more scraping and scraping to get peanut butter out of your measuring cup, and you’ll get out 99.9% of the peanut butter you put into the cup! That never happens with a regular measuring cup. Easy to clean too. I’m forever forgetting which way to take it apart and reassemble it, but it only goes two ways (lol) so it doesn’t take long to figure it out." —sandy s

Promising review: "I've been using this product for one week, and my skin has never been softer. I'm in my early 50s, and every year around fall, my skin begins to dry out. By January, it's actually cracking and painful, and showering only made things worse. That's why this year, I decided to start moisturizing BEFORE the cold winter months. This product leaves your skin soft, smooth, and well hydrated. But best of all, it doesn't feel greasy. It's gentle, which is a concern for me since I have sensitive skin. A little of this product goes a long way. The instructions say put a dime-size dollop of lotion on each arm and leg, and that really is all you need for your extremities. It spreads smoothly and covers a large area. Moisturizing while still damp from the shower is definitely the way to go. This also has a very clean scent that smells like a soft mixture of coconut and vanilla, but I think that may actually be the scent coming from the shea butter (not sure). I'm sold on this stuff." —Flipp'n Pages
Get it from Amazon for $5.84+ (available in two scents).
Promising review: "Such a simple idea, how is this just coming into my life now? I didn't think showers could get any better but now I have a brew/wine within reach at all times. Really helps take the edge off after a long day. The thing is way sturdier than you'd expect, I've tugged on it and it's not going anywhere. The slotted design allows you to use stemmed wineglasses, too. A truly perfect product. This $13 piece of plastic is working as hard as my therapist and I stan." —Steven

Promising review: "I am an office supply junkie and this is the best item I own. I love the concept of being able to design a to-do list with my own checkboxes. The best part is everything looks straight on paper." —Candace

It comes with dot stickers you can use to write little reminders on certain days.
Promising review: "This is the talk of my office. Everyone laughs about me 'getting stabby' with the days as I pop my bubbles. Moreover, I like seeing where I am in the year by using this. It helps me understand a year is shorter than it seems. I use a bright pink thumbtack to mark what day it is. Cute!" —HoundMama

They're from a Miami-based small business! As the reviewer below mentions, these should be kept away from kids and pets because even small magnets can be dangerous if swallowed.
Promising review: "These are so nice to use. One of my grandkids made me a beautiful drawing, and even framed it for me. I couldn’t just stick pins in it. Much like posters, I’ve always been concerned with the holes put in them to keep them up. These lovelies do the job superbly, and no holes! The magnets are so strong this old person had real fun getting them apart. Caution! Keep them away from your younguns and your pets!" —Lynda

Promising review: "Donut pass this up. This little device has changed how we brunch! It has a decently long cord, which makes it easy to use in a kitchen without a ton of outlets, and it only takes a few minutes to heat up. Once ready, it only takes 5–7 minutes to make a batch of delicious and piping hot mini donuts. It comes with a book with all kinds of donut recipes, which is so helpful. The plates get really hot so it definitely isn't safe for kids to use, but I use a makeshift Ziploc piping bag to help keep my distance while I fill the molds, which I highly recommend. I wish the plates were removable, that would make it much easier to clean, but it isn't very difficult to sponge it down once cool." —Stephanierunsforfun

Promising review: "Works so well I might not eat for days. I live in an apartment complex and the maintenance people are pretty strict about not using drain cleaning chemicals but rather calling them to unclog a slow-draining bathtub or sink. However, I have pretty long hair and I'm certain that the maintenance people don't get paid well enough to go up against the horror that's been building up in my bathtub drain over the past several years. When I got the Vastar snake drain cleaner I went straight to work. No instructions needed, the concept is pretty simple: You grasp the tool with the end that's a handle, push the pointy end down the drain, and the jagged part catches on the nest of hair that's swirled its way around your plumbing. I didn't even get the thing 3 inches down before it was getting stuck on clumps of hair and built-up gunk. I gagged my way through getting all nausea-inducing blockage lurking in my bathtub's drainpipe. It's now clear to me why this is a three-pack...there was simply no way I was going to be cleaning off the plastic tool and reusing it. Very happy with this product, glad it comes in a pack." —K.

It comes with four hooks four hanging, and it's from a San Diego-based small business specializing in macramé goods!
Promising review: "This (larger size) hammock holds so much! Large onions, 6 lbs of potatoes, etc.; its footprint in our kitchen is small and the amount this hammock holds is large. This hammock replaced a two-tiered stackable plastic bin, which took up so much space on our small countertop." —VA

Note this probably isn't a good pick for pets who like to chew plush toys!
Promising review: "I bought this for my 3-year-old chihuahua and she loves it! She loves going under blankets and hiding so I bought her this since I can never find her under all of her blankets and am scared someone will accidentally sit on her lol, but she fits wonderfully in this and with plenty of room to spare! The pot itself is a decent size and pops out and holds its shape well; the honey is removable and has some stuffing/bedding in it so if there is any messes or it needs to get cleaned it seems like it would be easy to do so. The honey does seem a bit easy to tear through — my dog isn’t an avid fan of ripping the stuffing out of her toys but if yours is, I would be careful! Tuna is 9 lbs and wears a small so if your dog (or cat) are around the same size and love to burrow or hide I would definitely recommend!" —Adriana

It even comes with a marker! Back in the days of going to the office, my work bestie had something like this on her desk and it put my zillion sticky notes to shame, both functionally and ~aesthetically~.
Promising review: "OMG where was this 20 years ago?I have ADHD and would always misplace to do lists, or misplace clipboards with reminders on them. They would get lost in the shuffle. Smartphone reminders are more of a hassle than they are worth with some informal lists that you think of spur of the moment (though sometimes they are great). Unlike other boards, I can put this in front of my FACE under the computer screen so I never overlook or forget it like every other system I've ever used in my life. This acts like a much more stylish and effective anchor or central 'office' for my quick VIP reminders. THANK YOU! I just wish ya had invented it 20 years ago!" —D Louis

Promising review: "Peeling garlic is always tricky. This handy tool makes it very easy, and then the garlic press is also very easy to use. Very well-built garlic press. Very sturdy. Comes with a small scraper to remove all garlic. You can use any small spoon or fingers also for that. Super easy to clean; just put under tap water. Also dishwasher safe. Garlic is evenly minced. Make sure to rock it while pressing." —Sam

It also comes with a carrying case with a belt loop on the back!
Promising review: "This multitool is a must-have tool for everyone. I will be keeping this in my car for daily or emergency use. This tool is perfect. I really like the functionality of the pliers, and it is spring loaded so it auto opens for easy use. There are a couple of knives (one is serrated), a bottle opener, a can opener, screw drivers, a nail file, and more. The handle is comfortable in hand. My only complaint is the carrying case; the Velcro is not very good and it keeps opening. I still recommend this if you are looking for a budget multitool." —Big Dawgs Fam

Promising review: "I've worn a lot of sleeping masks before, but this one is completely different. It doesn't move at night no matter how much I toss and turn. The weight from the flax seed and lavender makes the perfect combo for the best night of sleep you'll ever have. Even helps with migraines!!" —Deborah Connor

Promising review: "I bought this about six years ago. I was just using it a moment ago, and thought how much utility I have gotten out of it. I decided I owed it a review. I use it primarily for ground beef, but it proves very handy to have right next to my stove for many uses, including any time I want to chop something up once it is in the pan cooking (duh). Sometimes I use it to break up veggies or beans (or whatever) when making chili. It's great for getting ground beef to the consistency I want. I gave it 4/5 on cleaning because sometimes it does take a bit of time to get food off of the blades, but no biggie. This chop stirrer has been extremely durable. It is a quality product. Normally, I wouldn't bother with a review, but I wanted to reward a well-designed quality product that has endured." —Brianmellow
