It's like a scrapbook met a cookbook and made this! It's so cute, and I literally just bought it for my stepmom since she loves to cook. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Promising review: "Gave this to my lovely wife for her birthday. She had been looking for a cookbook to write down recipes she loved or invented. The quality of this book and slipcover are such that someday our children or grandchildren will inherit the family recipes. Neat layout, with options that other books don't have." —Bladesmith

A matching straw is included!
Promising review: "This pretty cup makes it MUCH easier for me to drink five of these a day than any other bottle or glass I've had before. Maybe it's that it's see-through and easy to drink out of with a straw, like some type of psychological trick, but it works! I usually have water with fresh lemon in it and carry it around with me. Highly recommend." —Jana Schuberth

Promising review: "I bought this as a Christmas gift for my husband and I'm not entirely sure that was a smart move on my part. Not because the product doesn't work (it works very well, in fact) but because my husband is now intent on leaving the doors open to the house when summer comes back around so all kinds of bugs can be let in for him to kill. He's already had the pleasure of being able to use it on a spider that was on an outdoor Christmas decoration and boy was he ecstatic! Since we seem to be in short supply of bugs in the house during these cold winter months, my husband has also resorted to using this gun as a way to add salt to food while he's cooking. This product works, it kills bugs, and you can even use it while cooking if you're tired of using the boring old salt shakers we have all grown accustomed too." —Adrianna McCain

Promising review: "I ordered this watch not expecting to be blown away because, of the price. Boy, was I wrong! I immediately put on the watch as soon as I opened it up; it fits comfortably and the band wasn’t too small, which I was a little concerned about. I’ll definitely be looking to purchase other styles of this watch. Great buy, especially for the price!" —Jessica Kurry

Besides, nobody eats straight off a skewer and it takes an unnecessary amount of shoving chunks of meat and veggies onto a stick.
Promising review: "These kabob grilling baskets take the place of skewers which makes them very easy to use — just put items in basket and grill. Not time-consuming like skewers. Also easy to clean with a kitchen sponge. All in all a great product." —Verified Reviewer

Promising review: "Bought this for my husband for his birthday and he LOVED it!! What a great unique gift. He loves to try new beers and collect the caps along with making his home brew. Think I hit a home run with this one. Wish it was just a little bigger but overall pretty awesome. May need another design soon!!!" —casey

Promising review: "This was a Christmas present for my son, and he really loves it. It's a great little camera and super fun with the instant Polaroid film. I had the original camera when I was a little girl and the photos are similar although half the size (mini). It's a fun little camera to play around with. If this is the type of camera you are wanting, then this one does the job well." —Vicki

Promising review: "I LOVE the smell of fresh cut grass and that's definitely one of the dominant scents in this candle. I'm a high school teacher and I work at my alma mater, so football on Friday nights are a staple in my life. This candle really brings to life the energy, and Iiteral scent of a Friday night on our football field. You will not be disappointed with this candle!" —Taylor B.

Promising review: "I was excited to find this gift idea. Not only is it unique, but it fulfilled the traditional anniversary gift by being wood. We haven't used it yet, but look forward to it. I read some of the reviews and cautioned my husband that some might be a little bit elementary for a couple who's been together as long as we have. Didn't sway his impression of the gift at all. He's just as excited to do all of the suggestions." —ASW

Promising review: "You don't realize how beautiful these are until you hold them in your hands and see for yourself. These are AMAZING! Like, breathtaking.

Promising review: "I bought two. One for me, and one for my 87-year-old father. I think mine is great. My father said he doesn't think about his much, because he forgets he's sitting on it. Translated from old man speak, that means he LOVES it! Dad spends hours a day, sitting on a hard wooden dining room chair, watching all of the TV judge shows, news shows, financial reports, and anything else that could cause an old man to have a sore ass. Since I got this chair pad for him, he's actually cut back on his political rants!" —PapaBear

Promising review: "BB-8 is a family favorite in our house. We use this as a fun and useful way to set time limits whether it's 2 minutes of brushing teeth or 30 minutes of screen time, etc. and it has been very useful and well received. Once you turn the head it makes a sound and then a longer sound once the time is up.We have used it all the way up to 60 minutes and it's accurate. It's very cute." —Underthesamebluesky

Rose quartz rolling can help with eye puffiness, as well as tightening and brightening of your skin. BuzzFeed's Rachel Miller investigated these claims herself to see how they held up, and spoiler — it worked:
"My immediate reaction was, 'Wait, is this what my face is supposed to look like?!' My eyes were suddenly so prominent in my face — in a good way!! — and everything looked visibly brighter and tighter — again, in a very good way. I suddenly just looked so awake, so healthy, so...Disney princess-like? (A half-black divorced American princess whose name happens to be Rachel, let’s say.) At 6:10 am with no makeup on? When just a couple of minutes ago I did not look that way at all? I was legitimately shocked." —Rachel Miller

Promising review: "My boyfriend has recently been on a hot sauce kick. I came across this and got it for him for our anniversary. I typically get him watches or video game stuff. He was beyond thrilled. Loved it, very excited to create his own, name it what he wants and share his creations with friends. The kit included everything you could need including gloves, which he probably wouldn't have thought to use if it hadn't included them." —megans

It can also connect to their device via cable. Check out BuzzFeed's full write-up on this karaoke mic.
Promising review: "Oh my gosh, I love this! I got mine in the mail yesterday and ended up playing with it for about five hours last night LOL. It connects via Bluetooth so you can connect it to your phone — the music and your singing comes out of the microphone's speaker. It has a volume control for your voice and for the music and also an echo feature. You can put an SD card into the bottom of it and record yourself, or connect it with an audio out to record on one of those karaoke apps on your phone. Between this and being able to find just about any song on karaoke via YouTube, you could easily have your own karaoke parties at home!" —Ferretocious

Promising review: "Ann always smashes it with her illustrations. This book is packed with heart and soul. It's perfect if you are looking for a coffee table book with summarized information on goddesses from different areas of the world. It even gives you tips on channeling each goddess; I think that is my favorite detail. Incredible follow up to Bad Girls. She's a great artist to look up to." —Cherie Adan

Two big things I asked my mom for when I got my apartment were nice sheets and a good quality comforter. I can't even begin to explain how much that impacted my room (and my sleep!). I am now a full-blown bedding snob and expect A LOT from anything I drape on my bed. This Buffy Comforter is heaven. It's made with soft eucalyptus that resists bacteria and microbes. WIN. I will say it's a little heavy, so it may not be ideal for hot sleepers (like me) on super hot summer nights, but they'll still get great use out of it most of the year.
But the real kick about this comforter: Its filling is made with BPA-free, recycled water bottles so they can literally rest easy knowing their sleeping under a product that's helping cut down waste.

This incredibly neat gadget does it all: It scans for depth, measures casting ranges, monitors hows targets react to different presentations, and is great for shore, boat, and kayak fishing. The sonar has Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity so they have instant access to the data straight on their device.
Promising review: "As someone who almost always fishes from shore this is amazing for seeing what is below the water. I can finally see what the area I am fishing looks like beyond what I can physically see. I have compared what the Deeper shows me with a map of the lake and have found it is pretty accurate. I am still getting used to it but it is nice to see how deep the water gets and how fast it gets deep for lure selection. The map function is nice but a little problematic for fishing from shore. To make a good map you would have to cast straight out reel in then walk 5-15 feet over cast straight out and reel in. I really see it being better for a kayak or other small boat. Never the less it is an interesting function." —Pat

This is a perfect remedy for what I understand to be a universal feeling — the desire to journal, but the lack of patience, dedication, or time. But pausing to write one sentence a day? We can all handle that.
Promising review: "I adore this journal. It allows me to write down daily memories or thoughts and puts my current self in a good mood. I'm excited to run across my old notes as the years go on! I take this with me on travels in a storage bag. There's something special about writing on the plane, in a new city, on a beach, etc. — any time you just feel like you're experiencing a special moment." —Mikayla

I think it's perfect. Washed it and still super soft. No pilling. It's holding up well, both in feel and in shape. The trim is sewed on well, so no problem there either. This is the BEST purchase I have ever made. I’m recommending this to everyone I know." —Amazon Customer

The side trays are adjustable to fit a variety of tub sizes.
Promising review: "Perfect gift for the bath lover, and great way to make a bath look more thoughtful and designed even when not in use. Our tub is deep and has handles that this tray fits perfectly on. The ability to slide it apart makes it easy to customize to the right width. When not in use the trays and holders are a perfect place to store bath accessories (bubble bath, candles, etc.) that keep the tub area from looking like a hoarders pile. The holder fits an iPad 12" in the vertical position, but not really horizontally, that's tough if you wanted to watch a show. It's possible to prop it up though using the grooves in the tray so overall this does the trick. It comes with removable soap/wine trays that can be reconfigured or removed entirely if your tub is not as wide." —C McA

And it's great that once you have the viewer you can order as many reels as you want!" —Lauren
