Promising review: "Very happy with this projector. Even though the dimensions are listed, I was still a bit surprised a how small the unit actually is. Even with the projector 15 feet away from the screen it is quite bright, certainly bright enough for a movie outdoors, which is what we bought it for to begin with. I was also pleased to find out I can plug my Roku Streaming Stick+ directly into the HDMI and USB port which made for a very small footprint of stuff I need to bring outdoors to project a movie. All in all very happy with the performance and price of this unit." —Gary C.

Promising review: "Earlier this month, my TV entertainment included Dish 200+ channel satellite TV, 20Mbps turbo internet, Netflix, and Amazon Prime. After doing some research, I bought three Amazon Fire Sticks with the voice remote, cancelled Dish, upgraded to 30Mbps internet, added Sling 25 channels, added standard Hulu, and CBS All Access. Guess who still gets 96+% of the channels watched, added Prime Music and several hundred shows (that networks don't play) to all the TVs in the house, and saved over $700 per year compared to what I paid this past year? I did. I never thought of cutting the cord until I really looked into it all. Getting Amazon Fire Sticks are worth it and they work well....and once you get used to knowing what show plays where, it's a no-brainer. If you're like me, and you don't watch 80% of the channels you pay for, it's so worth it." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This 58 year old kid had a blast assembling this model. Lego engineering is top notch as all parts connect perfectly and securely. I had expected to use glue on the model as I intend to hang the finished product but glue is not necessary. I can pick up the entire model by any piece or part of the overall Star Destroyer. The instructions are fool proof...they are organized into a 250 page book which is very detailed and easy to follow. Any 10 year old with a bit of patience can assemble this if he or she can keep dad from jumping in! Actually, this would make an excellent project for a father and son/daughter." —Hoosier Boy

Promising review: "I purchased this blanket for my 16-year-old daughter. I have been wanting to get one for her for a while now as she has always had difficulty falling asleep and waking up feeling rested. She is entering her senior year of high school and struggles with a lot of worry, anxiety, and overwhelming feelings that teenagers and adults can experience. The color is gorgeous and the weight of the blanket (12lbs.) is perfect. It is weighted enough to make you feel comfortable and cozy underneath it but not too heavy as to make you feel constricted or overheated. Last night was her first night with the blanket and so as you can imagine, when I heard her wake, I hurried into her room to ask how she slept! I am happy to say that she loves it, and that 'the blanket is so comfy and feels like a big hug!' She woke up feeling rested and is excited to have it to take with her to college next year. I am thinking of purchasing another one in the near future. It is well worth the price and my daughter and I are so happy with the quality and comfort of this item." —N.Carolina1

Promising review: "This is fantastic!! I got it for a friends zombie bug-out bag Christmas gift and now I want to keep it for myself. The writing is witty and funny all while providing great practical information. Then illustrations are done very well and are easy to follow. I love how the lay out starts are the beginning when food and supply are plentiful and ends with survival for the 'long haul.' Will be purchasing another one." —J

The phone slot, wine glass holder and extra storage space for a towel, mug or candle are great! My bathtub is small, but it expands quite long." —Lisa Gyllenberg

Promising review: "Look, I never write reviews. However, I was pleasantly SHOCKED by how clear my photos came out. This is my third try at portable printers, and it's BY FAR the best. My family travels a lot and my kids like to do scrapbooking on the go, but now we don't have to rely on low quality instant pictures!

Promising review: "Two years ago we rescued our redbone hound from our humane society. He has been a special dog and a wonderful addition to our empty nest. This blueprint was a perfect Father's Day gift. We personalized it with his name and couldn't be happier with the quality and uniqueness. We love it! Thank you!" —Tracy

Promising review: "I have had the Duo and it was great, but this bad boy is EVERYTHING! It has a large digital display. It has a single dial for setting everything. It auto seals, unlike all of the previous models which you have to remember to turn to vent or seal. There is a button to release the pressure — also unlike all of the previous models. There are more options within each of the settings. It has additional presets like cake, egg, sterilize, and ULTRA. The Ultra function allows you to set an exact temperature and with that you can do sous vide cooking. This is the only model to have a cooking graph indicator. It has a strip of stainless on the handle which give it an extra touch of class — again unlike any other model. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Ultra — so much so I have two now. I have cooked beef stew, chili, chicken noodle soup, pork ribs, egg bites, sous vide ribeye steak (OH MY HEAVENS! Best steak I ever ate, and I have eaten a LOT of ribeyes) and the list goes on and on. The price is well worth the investment. You will not be disappointed. The company has a great reputation and has great customer service as well." —ADW

Get it from Uncommon Goods for $119.95.
Promising review: "This was purchased as going-away gift for a treasured team member who is relocating. It could not be more perfect! The tote is high quality and made well. Being reversible is a bonus. The charging unit is a same high-quality leather zippered pouch that can be removed easily for charging. It is roomy enough for a small laptop, file folders, purse, and possibly an extra pair of shoes. I shared this with many of my friends prior to wrapping and all of us are hoping Santa considers this for us in a few months!" —Terri

Promising review: "These are way more comfortable than they have any right to be. I wear glasses and these have caused no issues whatsoever with ear fatigue. Also they sound pretty good. It took me a while to get used to the active EQ feature, but once I got used to it I really appreciate that at lower volumes you have much better situational awareness and can still enjoy the music." —bob lawblaw
The grow lights are energy efficient (aka they turn on and off automatically), and it tells you when to water (and feed with the included Miracle Grow plant food!) the baby greens, so these herbs'll basically grow themselves. The system comes with seed pods to grow Genovese basil, curly parsley, dill, mint, thyme, and Thai basil. Y U M!
Get it from BuzzFeed's Goodful line, exclusively at Macy's for $129.99 (originally $189.99; available in three colors).
Promising review: "I love to cook, so the thought of having fresh herbs and veggies right on my kitchen counter was exciting. However, I had never had much success gardening. This new Goodful AeroGarden changed that for me. I made the best caprese salad I have ever eaten last week with some fresh basil from my garden. My kids actually enjoy helping me harvest and eat something green. It is freezing outside right now, but we still have fresh produce growing in our home! I can't believe it works this well. If you enjoy cooking or gardening, I would highly recommend." —FreshMom

Promising review: "I have very dry skin and when I exfoliate too vigorously my skin gets dry patches. I've been using this regularly for the past four months and I can honestly say, my skin has never looked better. I use both sides for a total of two minutes with my Burt's Bees mild cleanser. I've only charged this device once and I'll moderate the intensity as needed. Overall, I love this device and am so happy that I bought it." —Charles and Jenn

Get it from Amazon for $170 (available in six colors).
Promising review: "Bought this at the suggestion of my dentist. I particularly like the pressure sensor and the indication that you are brushing too fast. The timer is also very helpful. The app itself tracking focus areas for brushing I find a bit inaccurate but it does help. Overall very pleased. It is a toothbrush that feels like what a dentist uses when I get a check up. Expensive most definitely but it gets the job done very effectively." —Richard

Promising review: "This was a Christmas gift for our granddaughter (now age two) and I am very happy to report that she loves it! It seems quite sturdy and it's sufficiently complex that it keeps her entertained longer than any of her other toys. Speaking as someone of a certain age, most kids today seem to have a whole lot to choose from in the way of toys, and that one of them is not only the favorite but gets lots of sustained use says something to me. Worth the price, from grandpa's point of view!" —Geoffrey B.

Promising review: "I can't stop talking to my friends about the Cor pendant! Not only does it have a sleek and unique look, but it also offers all the benefits of aromatherapy in an amazingly convenient way. The best thing about owning this piece is that I don't have to necessarily pair it with every outfit; I often will slip it in my bag or jacket as an on-the go accessory. My color is rose gold and my (current) favorite is 'calm.' I highly recommend this necklace as a beautiful and multi-purpose piece." —Smurray

My Starbucks monthly bill has come down considerably after buying this unit, and I'm ready to hit the ground running that much sooner in the morning. I especially enjoy the self cleaning feature and the ability to run it for smaller or larger cup sizes. Truly a premium product." —David T.

Promising review: "Best slippers in the world! I've had my Coquette slippers in chestnut for three years now and prior to a dog destroying them, they have been in the best shape anyone could imagine. The soles are ideal for indoor and outdoor wear, this is what makes them so durable. I am live in the north where it snows every winter, and not only are the soles great for durability and lifetime of the slipper, they are great for traction. Speaking of snowy winters, my feet do not get cold if I'm only wearing these slippers outside in the snow either. Great slippers for everything!" —Kingy
You can play all Nintendo 3DS, New Nintendo 3DS and most Nintendo DS games in 2D on it!
Get it from Amazon for $134.59 (also available in white and orange).
Promising review: "Amazing product for those who want to save a little bit of money and not care much for the 3D feature. The system is very sleek and streamlined — it is slimmer and lighter compared to the 3D version. The bezels are a lot smaller too. The upgraded hardware really makes a difference, everything runs faster, from loading times to game performance. The screen is very large and bright, the buttons click and responsive. The added second stick with the additional two bumpers make controlling some games simply amazing. The only downside is that the speakers are quiet compared to the 3D, and the top screen feels a little bit floppy. Over all, a fantastic product that opens you up to an amazing library of games." —Consumerism

Equally gorgeous boxed sets are also available for Jane Austen and the Brontë sisters.
Get it from Amazon for $123.56.
Promising review: "This is a superb quality set of books. It comes very well packaged and ours arrived pristine, despite it weighing about 20lbs.
The books are wrapped in clear plastic inside the chest, which means you can open the chest to look at them once it arrives, but the recipient gets new wrapped books. The chest is sturdy board, with string/thin rope handles. It has a hard black plastic slide catch, which does look like it will last. On the top is an address label, with a big "deliver to........Hogwarts" stamp, which looks very realistic and adds a nice touch. You can add your child's name to the label. This is a real heirloom set of books, which I hope that all three of my children will read. Although I did not open the plastic protective wrapping on the books, they look to be well-bound and great quality." —AAS (NY)
