Stand back, I got this.
Promising review: "This is an awesome product that's very easy to use and saved me a ton of money as an alternative to replacing the screens. I have a sun room with very large screens (approximately 5' x 5'), which would've taken a lot of time and material to replace. Yes, you can see where I repaired the holes, but that's not a huge deal. I really like the fact that you can cut this tape to any size to fit almost all needs." —Jerrykyll

And doesn't food just taste better when you're able to say, "I grew these herbs in my garden?" I think you'll find that to be true thyme after thyme.
It comes with Miracle-Gro plant food, plus seeds to grow mint, thyme, curly parsley, dill, Genovese basil, and Thai basil!

*Okay, a little more than that, but you know what I mean.
Promising review: "I bought this to clean up the pitted and cracked shower grout in my apartment. If I owned the place, I'd properly have had it re-grouted and sealed. But for the price, this did the trick and made the shower look sharp and clean. The paint dispenses easily and is pretty simple to apply evenly (and if you screw up, just use a sponge to wipe off where you colored outside the lines). It made it through its first cleaning test, when I sprayed with Kaboom tile cleaner. For my situation, it worked." —Beez

It comes with enough supplies (citric acid, butter muslin, a thermometer, vegetable rennet tablets, cheese salt, and a recipe booklet) to make about 30 pounds of cheese!
Promising review: "I bought this because I've always wanted to make cheese. I decided to try it while my grown son and his girlfriend were visiting, and we made cheese together. We had so much fun and I am still making my own cheese. The instructions are clear and the kit has pretty much everything you need." —Renee Martin

It's lightweight so you can move it around from your desk to the couch to anywhere you're chilling. It also comes with information on the reflexology points in your foot to help you relax to the max.
Promising review: "I’ve been having so many issues with my feet the last few years. My feet hurt so bad, it made me become a hermit. I’ve had tendinitis and now have plantar fasciitis. I get foot cramps all the time. After just one day with this under my desk at work, I feel a huge difference. My feet no longer feel tight and painful. They feel tingly, in a good way. I look forward to being able to go for a walk and not have to rest along the way. I love that it’s small, looks nice, and doesn’t slide around. I highly recommended this for anyone, with foot issues or not, if you sit a lot. It's a nice way to keep the blood flowing when stuck at a desk." —Vanessa Thomas

It comes with a fill tip, four decorating tips, and two couplers.
Promising review: "This works great and my cupcakes look store-bought. It worked so much better than I anticipated. I was honestly a little skeptical about using this, but the frosting came out looking so professional, and I have never frosted anything before. I just watched a YouTube video and I sort of improvised as I went. I also love that everything can be taken apart for easy cleaning and that all the parts except the plunger are dishwasher safe." —Ella P.

Professional teeth whitening? I don't know her. FYI, this will turn your toothbrush black, so you may be interested in picking up some charcoal toothbrushes to go with it!
Check out BuzzFeed's full write-up on this charcoal powder and more of the best teeth whiteners you can get on Amazon.
Promising review: "You guys, this stuff is awesome! I drink black coffee, red wine, and soda. I've used whitening toothpaste, whitening strips, and nothing has whitened my teeth like this stuff. It has no taste or scent. I use it at night before bed and you see results almost immediately. If you want your teeth white, this really works." —Goseegaby
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three flavors).
And because, realistically, there will be some things for your home you can't do yourself, the book even has sections on how to hire the best professionals for the job.
Promising review: "I've only lived in apartments my whole life and my first home is a three-story colonial. I've never been really handy or knowledgeable about homes, so the idea of home maintenance in this large house was daunting, to say the least. I didn't even know how little I knew. I was pleasantly surprised by how many topics the book covers with handy tips, beginner-friendly instructions, and useful pictures and diagrams. My fiancé and I love it and will definitely be using this as a housewarming gift!" —KMena

♬SO IF YOU'RE TIRED OF THE SAAAAMEEE OLD SUSHIIIIIII...♬
Promising review: "This makes sushi super easy to make! I never thought I could do this myself, but I'm going to save a fortune on sushi going forward. I'm vegan, but love veggie sushi, which isn't cheap. Making my sushi costs me about 95% less than getting it from my local sushi joint. Whoa. I basically get cheap sushi for life. It's worth every penny IMO." —Chai Man

Before painting your nails, you just swipe this around the edges and cuticles and let it dry. Then, if you make a mistake, you can just peel it off and pretend it never happened! I won't tell.
Promising review: "This product is great. I wish I'd known about it sooner. It would've saved me so much money on manicures. I'm horrible at painting nails and always get polish everywhere, which is why I've always paid for manicures. I bought this and it works awesome. If I get anything anywhere besides the nail, I can just peel it off. It's a little liquidy, so you have to experiment with how much you need, but once you get the hang of it, it's great." —Brittany N.

You just pick a sticker that's close to the size of each nail, stick it on, and file off the excess to make it a perfect fit! Then seal it with top coat.
Promising review: "I had these in a drawer for months. What was I thinking? They are gorgeous!!! They're so easy to put on and it takes no time at all, plus it's cheaper than a manicure. Just beautiful. It feels and looks like an expensive salon manicure." —Vivi

It includes enough ingredients to make six Old Fashioneds (other than the alcohol): aromatic bitters, orange bitters, grapefruit bitters, six sugar cubes, three cocktail picks, a muddler spoon, and a linen cocktail napkin.
Promising review: "Everyone on the plane was jealous. I used this on a three-hour flight yesterday and had the closest thing you can get to a perfect Old Fashioned on an airplane. The flight attendant was confused at first when I asked for an extra glass, but after I explained, she was fascinated and actually watched me make the drink! She said it looked like a chemistry experiment. I highly recommend, even if it's just to start conversation on a flight." —Briana Sircy Wright

It's basically magic, because the toy surrounds and stimulates your clitoris without actually touching it. Plus it's waterproof, has 11 pulsation settings, and comes (lol) with a magnetic USB charger.
Check out BuzzFeed's full write-up on the Satisfyer Pro 2, and more of the best sex toys you can get on Amazon.
Promising review: "This is the most amazing toy I’ve ever used! It really does feel very similar to oral (by someone who actually knows what they’re doing!) and it’s consistent (unlike guys who want to keep moving their heads all around instead of just focusing their efforts on the right spot, if you know what I mean). Anyway, I used it in the shower and it’s incredible how intense the orgasm is compared to anything else I’ve tried. It’s a totally different sensation than a typical vibrator. It’s more like a fast, drumming sensation with some suction. It was worth every penny, and I love that it’s rechargeable. The magnetic charger is really cool and charges fast. There's not much else I can say besides HOLY ****!!! This thing is effing amazing!" —KailuaChick

It's got two heat settings and a cool setting, not to mention over 3,500 positive Amazon reviews!!!
Check out BuzzFeed's full review of this brush.
Promising review: "Let's face it. It's near impossible to get a salon blowout look at home. Your arms get tired, and trying to manage a brush and blowdryer is a feat in and of itself. This brush is not just good, it's great! I love this brush! I actually like the way my hair turns out with this styler better than what I get at the salon — seriously. I love my hairdresser and she does a great job, but I have actually gotten more compliments on my hair when I do it myself with this tool. I'll probably get two more to give to my daughters as well, that's how much I love it. This is great and you can't beat the price!!" —debbie

You only have to leave it on for five to ten minutes! And psst — lots of people like to mix this with apple cider vinegar.
Promising review: "I've heard so much praise about this clay that I was very skeptical, but this stuff is great! You can actually feel a throbbing pull about halfway through the time it's on. When I rinsed it off, my 60+ face felt like baby skin. I have really oily skin, which is great for keeping wrinkles at bay but hard on the pores. This is like a charcoal detox AND a facial. I get as good a result from using this once a week as I did with the very costly micro-abrasion cream I'd been using. I was surprised that this clay didn't leave my skin dry. Yes, you do have to mix it up yourself (like a DIY project), but it's worth the time. I'm amazed that a product this affordable is so good." —Shari's Peculiar Fascination

This option is also way more affordable and, bonus, no one will be around give you weird looks if you're doing it as an adult! ADULTS LIKE TO SNUGGLE TOO, OKAY???
The kits come with a self-sealing animal, stuffing, a heart insert, and a birth certificate you can fill out! The cat one also includes a super cute storage backpack.
Promising review: "What an adorable little husky! I got this for my boyfriend who wants a pet husky but can't have one in his apartment complex. He got a kick out of building the toy dog and writing its birth certificate. This husky is so soft and is small enough to keep on the couch without it being nuisance. Though it's geared for young kids, anyone can have fun with it!" —Marissa

Because Dakota Johnson has never been more relatable than in that scene in How To Be Single where she falls all over the place while trying (and failing) to zip her dress. Big mood.
Promising review: "In the old days, I rigged up a zipper puller with a paper clip and a string. This was great for the old zippers where the pull had a little hole in it. However, invisible zippers have taken over the fashion world and those pulls are solid. I've found myself getting into all kinds of contortions trying to pull them up, so my curiosity was definitely piqued when I saw this little item. Lo and behold, it does exactly what it's supposed to do. This really is a life-changing thing for me. Now I don't have to choose my dresses according to whether or not my spouse is home to help me zip!" —VIcki Embrey

One treatment claims to last for YEARS, even through hundreds of washes.
Promising review: "This stuff worked great! My car is six years old but it looked more like 20 with the cloudy headlights. The kit I received came with a double-sided fine sandpaper-type square, a red cloth, blue gloves, and a sealed package containing the wipe. The instructions are simple and clear: wet the surface and use the green side of the square to gently scrub off the milky, yellowish stuff on your headlights. Follow up with another splash of water and use the grey side to polish. This step will take more time and effort depending on how bad your headlights are. Once you think you're ready for the last step, take the red cloth and thoroughly dry the surface. I let it sit for a few minutes to make sure everything was dry as a bone. Last step: put on the gloves, open the packet, remove the thick wipe and carefully go over the surface once. All in all, this was a simple procedure that didn't take too much effort and my headlights look brand new. Win-win!" —Jeneroo2u

The kit comes with chip-filling resin, an applicator, and everything you need to mount and apply it, plus instructions.
Promising review: "I had a 'professional' come and fix a chip on my windshield and was not impressed with the repair. Based on his results, I decided to try this product on a chip on a different windshield (Can you believe two freeway rock chips in a week? Ugh!) and do it myself. Each kit comes with everything that you need for a single repair. This worked better than the pro job. If you follow the easy-to-use instructions, you should get very good results." —LaserBill

Promising review: "I can't believe I never thought of searching for a product like this for the twelve pairs of heels that I have sitting around waiting for shoe repair before! These are awesome and will save me a bundle of time and money, since I won't have to haul my shoes to the inconvenient shoe repair shop. I'm so impressed. They fit really well. I used the measurement guide on the product page before ordering. They're also great in those emergencies when you lose your heel tip right before an important date or job interview!" —MarisaReads

Promising review: "I rarely use tools, but on the rare occasion that I need one, I groan thinking that I need to go buy the respective tool which, again, I'll rarely use anyway. This multi-use pocket tool is just what a gal like me needs! There's a screwdriver, four position wrench, butterfly wrench, direction ancillary wrench, and a two-position wrench for my common tool needs. On top of that, there's a can opener, knife edge, ruler, bottle opener (very handy to have!), and a saw blade for any other random emergency, which I find very useful. The best thing about it is that unlike other multi-tools, it is flat and fits in your wallet! They also provide a carrying case so you can store it in your bag. They advertise a keyring hole, which is the one thing I would advise against, because the knife edge and saw blade are sharp and I wouldn't want this tool hanging around my body. But on the bright side, with the stainless steel material, the tools are actually sharp — a pleasant surprise. This won't break with average use. " —Johann Christine Alcaraz
