Promising review: "I have a leather bag that I liked but it refused to stay on my shoulder so I rarely used it. The Purse Gummy solved the slippage problem beautifully! The strap stayed on my shoulder all through a recent shopping trip. Another concern I had was that the Purse Gummy would not stay attached. Granted, I've only had it on that strap for several weeks, but it hasn't even begun to separate. If you have a similar problem I highly recommend the Purse Gummy." —Amazon Customer

They go on when you get within three meters (almost 10 feet), and turn off 15 seconds after you walk out of range. And they just stick right on — how easy is that?

Promising review: "One of the smartest things that I've purchased in a while. Just peel off the double-sided tape cover and stick the magnet wherever you need light. The light is metal so it clings to the magnet that you just stuck to the wall, ceiling, wherever — it's super easy to change the batteries. Motion sensing so you don't have to touch them — just be there. Also, they are light sensitive so that you don't waste battery power if there is enough light anyway. I like to use rechargeable batteries so that I don't have to buy batteries all the time. They are bright enough for a regular closet or under a kitchen cabinet and the lights are LED so they are energy efficient. I just bought a couple more 3-packs for seasonal gifts. This is a no-brainer — you need this!" —Kindle Customer

Promising review: "This alarm clock works really well. My roommate hated me using my phone but this is much more effective at waking me up gently. As an added bonus I am not cranky anymore! Anyone using their phone as an alarm clock should get this!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I bought this crepe maker because it was inexpensive and I wasn't sure how easy to would be to do crepes. I can't say enough how pleased I am with the product. The crepes come out consistently good every time. It is extremely easy to clean by just wiping it down after every use. I made dessert crepes for my daughter's party with friends and it was a complete hit!!! No trouble, and I was able to cook them to right there and then. it's that easy! the temperature is very precise and no hot spots. Cooks evenly." —Amazon Customer
That hollow black part in the middle? That's designed so the sink will still drain, even if you have a big pot blocking it!
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
Promising review: "As someone on a septic system, we can't have a garbage disposal. Consequently we've always lived by sink strainers. And I've tried and dealt with many different ones. But this is, far and away, the best I've even utilized. The holes are sized such that the tiny, meaningless stuff, goes through. And the design is such that even when full of gunk it still drains, and very well at that. Meanwhile, it doesn't accidentally let gunk through that might clog your drain. In the end, it's difficult to describe how great this is. Just drop the cash and check it out for yourself. You'll be glad you did." —R. Snare
Most reviewers recommend sizing up!
Get them from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in sizes XS–2X and four colors, plus three colors without the sherpa lining).
Promising review: "I've never worn pants that make me as happy as these do. I feel like I'm being enveloped in a cloud. I sized up (good idea), due to other reviews. They're perfect for cold winter days, being warm and toasty when you and hubs disagree on what the thermostat should read, and getting a hug from your clothing when you're exhausted after a day of work/your kids running you ragged, or both. I'm also sensitive to non-breathable clothes, particularly at night, but these haven't made me feel too hot so far." —Torrey Baldwin
Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in red, blue, and white lights).
Promising review: "I need to make notes in total darkness. This pen exceeds my exceptions. The photo does not really show how well the light source in the tip illuminates the writing surface without shadows. It came with extra ink refills and batteries. It is hefty and is comfortable to hold. One click brings the tip out out without the light on. A double click retracts the tip and then brings it out with the on, one more click retracts the tip and turns the light off." —Oldmanadrift
Get it from Amazon for $17.75. It's also available in a Pusheen version; just sayin'.
Promising review: "High quality. I’ve thrown it in the dishwasher plenty of times and it has held up just fine! Love this bowl. It’s my favorite ramen bowl." —Ibby
Get it from Amazon for $9.75 (also available in a larger size for larger tablets).
Promising review: "This. Product. Is. Genius! I am a frequent flyer for work and in the past have had to rig a support just so that I can watch a movie/show hands-free on my phone while flying. Which most of the time also include the need for the try table being down as well! (super annoying) The flight flap resolved both issues, allowing me to watch my shows hands free and with all the leg room that i could ever need....or am allowed :) With dimensions a little bigger than the size of my phone, it packs aways super easy in any carry-on or office bag. I would highly recommend this product to any one who flies with any regularity or has little ones that need to be entertained during long flights! P.S. Flight Flap is great for at-home use as well! I have used it a few times already to help hold up my tablet while streaming DYIs to help with some house projects that I have been working on. I'm sure for the avid cook it would work great in the kitchen as well!" —Elise Ingram

Promising review: "When I had guests over they kept commenting about the funny/unique design! LOL! Will most likely buy these again because they work great at absorbing the condensation from cold drinks! I like that it goes with any décor too." —Grecia Ayon

They're each the size of a tennis ball — and they won't stain your tub, so you won't have to scrub afterwards.

Promising review: "I originally bought these as a Christmas gift to hand out to a couple of girls who work for me, but one night I caved and used one for my own personal use. I loved it so much that I immediately placed another order just to have for myself! These are of Lush quality and size for a fraction of the price and without the overwhelming 'which do I choose' pressure. You receive 10 bombs at random, but no two are the same. They were safely wrapped and out of the 20 that I bought, not a single was crushed or broken. I will be continuing to buy." —Whitney Killam

Promising review: "This is hands down one of the best water bottles I have ever bought and I'd say I am a water bottle connoisseur...I near collect the things! Between the insulation and my water staying ice cold almost all day long, the mouthpiece engineering is what I like the most. It has two different screw top lids, one big enough to fit ice then the other is the mouthpiece big enough to get a good amount of water out but small enough where it isn't spilling all down your shirt if you need a sip while driving! My only complaint would be that sometimes when I go to screw off the lid to take a drink the entire 2-part lid screws off instead...not a huge deal because every other positive makes up for it! I'm resisting the urge to purchase it in every color!!" —makenzi bezemek
Some reviewers have no trouble refilling the pen, some do, so note that they make come to about $5 per single use.

Promising review: "This is the greatest thing ever! A lot of the review are because people do not understand the concept. No, you cannot add different colors to the pens. One pen, one color, forever. There is no way to clean. That's what they have a pack of more than one. I added my wall paint and I ALWAYS have simple touch up at anytime. The paint comes out nice and the brush is perfect for smaller touch up areas. I use this for when the kids scratch the wall or for when I need a clean up that can't be wiped off. Every household should have this and it should be sold at the checkout isle. This is a must have for all homeowners!" —Dlanoz

Promising review: "I bought this personal heater to use at my cubicle in my office. The product is perfect for my needs... it doesn't have a thermostat and doesn't create massive amounts of heat, but that's not its intended purpose. It's designed to provide directional warmth effectively and without significant power, which is always a concern in a cubicle environment. I've used mine both under the desk and on the desktop. I've noticed that even if I leave it on all day, the body of the unit never gets hot. It doesn't make any noise, either... it's so small and quiet that it's hardly noticeable. If you're looking for something to provide extra warmth in a cool space without requiring a lot of power, this is a good option. If you need to heat a large area, then this probably isn't the right choice. For me, this is the perfectly-designed option for supplemental heat in an office cube environment, and it's definitely something I would buy again if the need arose." —Duane A. Priest
