Promising review: "Ordered this product, & absolutely love it. It’s amazing seeing and hearing what is really is capable of. Gives me weather updates, traffic updates, etc. One of my favorite things about this product is that I can go into my Alexa app on my cellphone and make reminders. If I have a reminder for my boyfriend, Alexa will let him know what the reminder is. That’s awesome!! Only con to this product is it has to stay plugged in at all times. Originally this product was $59.99 & I got mine for $24.99! It is definitely worth the $59.99! My speaker is fantastic! I couldn’t ask for a better product!" —Onna

Promising review: "I got this to see if it would help with snoring. My snoring isn't in my nose, but rather in the back of the throat/nose. The pillow straightens out my neck and works to prevent snoring when laying on it from back, sides and belly, by apparently straightening and opening up the air passage. Once at night, I was squishing the pillow and had my neck bent and was caught snoring, but 90% of snoring has been gone over the first several days. Super happy with it. Only negative to report is that there is one place to put your head, so I can't flip to the cool side of the pillow if I'm hot. I'm 6'3" too... I think if I was any taller, the pillow wouldn't be thick enough for me." —Rob Lentini
Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (available in eight bottle sizes and 19 scents).
Promising review: "For some horrible reason the airflow in my house moves from the bathroom (even with closed doors) right into both the living room and the master bedroom. This is evil!! Everything that happens in there is shared. It isn't so bad when the smell is body wash; but, when it is air spray, BM, or a combination of the two.......I make my husband use the basement toilet. Cloying air spray is almost as bad as toilet stink and together they are unbearable. Then there was you, Poo-Pourri. 😍 Thank you. I don’t know how this manages to only lightly sent the air while Completely eliminating toilet odor. It is magical. I’m ashamed to admit it; but, this has definitely improved my relationship with my husband. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you." —Alexandra P.

Does not transfer while drinking coffee or giving your loved one a kiss on the cheek!! Love, love, love it!!!" —Mandolinsara
It has over 14,000 five-star reviews from other beard-havers!
Get it from Amazon for $11.43.
Promising review: "RARRRH! I just want to get ALL UP IN THERE with my face and hands when my hubby puts this on!! And I do. LOL! After reading the reviews about the scent I was hesitant because I don't like most colognes and licorice scents make me nauseated but it doesn't smell like that at all to me, in the can or on my man. It's hard to pinpoint but smells so masculine, clean woodsy, and just wonderful manliness to this sensitive schnoz! Much to my chagrin, it fades progressively after a couple of hours. My hubby keeps his beard and 'stache to a trimmed medium/shorter length but I have noticed a big difference in shine and softness with his twice a day use. He also has sensitive skin prone to breakouts and has not had any trouble with this product clogging his pores...or mine. :) He's promo'ed Honest Amish to his bearded buddies as I have to my girlfriends with bearded menfolk. No one product is perfect for 100% of users but we highly recommend you try this stuff. Best stocking stuffer I've ever bought him!" —KCKENDRICK

Get it from Amazon for $39.99.
Promising review: "Let's begin with this: I had roku before I moved. I decided to try something different. I bought fire stick and have no regrets.
First of all, very easy in use. Secondly, voice control is much better. Then, menu is simple. And finally you don't have an additional piece that you are trying to place somewhere and always trying to head your remote in that direction. I put away my regular Remote at all. I just need a firestick Remote from now on. So simple, smart, and easy. My best buy in 2020!" —Anastasiia

Get the sampler from Haus for $40.
Promising review: "I love the opportunity to try all the flavors prior to investing in the large bottle, although my first large bottle clove was fantastic! I can see where some flavors might be more delightful based on season. I also like the idea of a taste test, comparing all four side by side. The sampler bottle size is generous; small but gets the job done. I love the opportunity to try all then gift by mail or as a hostess gift." —Cindi O.

It has flags printed on the bottom you can scratch off too! It even comes with stickers so you can document your adventures each place.
Get it from Amazon for $19.98.
Promising review: "This scratch map is so much fun! I’ve been scratching off the states and countries and realizing how much I’ve seen and how much more I want to see! The scratch-off portion is easy to remove, and two different scratchers are provided (metal for detail work, plastic for larger areas). They also include a magnifying glass for the tiny places. I also like that the travel map has the country flags to scratch off as well. I am giving the US map to my daughter to track her travels as she grows up." —Alexandra
Get it from the MoMA store for $48.
It comes with a removable filter for easy brewing (it works best with a coarser, French press–style grind). And it stores airtight to keep any ~fridge smells~ from making their way into your brew.
Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (also available in a smaller one-quart size).
Promising review: "We use this all the time in my house. A little less than when I initially bought it, as there's less call for cold brew in the winter, but it still gets some use. I generally prefer glass to plastic in my kitchen, but the body of it seems to have held up well despite extensive and extended use. I certainly recommend it if you're looking tired of making cold brew at home with the mason jar method, but still don't want to spill the cash for a fancier-than-necessary alternative." —Matthew Baird

Its capacity charges the iPhone 8 almost seven times, the Galaxy S8 five times or the iPad mini 4 twice.
Get it from Amazon for $33.99.
Promising review: "I travel for a living, and have always needed a portable charger. Finding plug ins at airports or on planes can be a hit or miss. Having long days of work then directly hitting a travel day can not always allow time for charging. This thing literally never dies. Longest lasting charger I have ever had. I was out in London all day, phone nearly dead and had to go straight to the airport. for a 9 hour flight back to the USA. This charger charged my phone the ENTIRE flight, then on my service car my coworker needed to charge his phone. I had meetings all day and then a dead phone and I charged my phone to a full 100% again! This is a MUST HAVE PRODUCT." —Kyle G.

This is a great feature, especially for those of us that like to read in bed at night while our spouse is sleeping. The light is also adjustable so your eyes don’t tired. This is truly my favorite way to read!" —Shannon Lewis
Get it from Amazon for $13.29.
Promising review: "Love this book light. I use it when everyone in the house is asleep and I don't want to keep the lights on. I still want to read something until it's time for my sleep so this small light is perfect. It has a bright LED light and because it's flexible I can shine it directly on what I read. This is the second time I order this. I've even ordered this to give as a gift. Perfect for what I use it for." —Hula maiden

Get it from Amazon for $10.02 (available in 13 other notepad styles).
Promising review: "With this pad, it is incredibly easy to be both romantic and efficient. I've been using this consistently for a few months now — filling out a sheet when I feel especially enamored with my partner and sending it to his apartment. This way, he gets a delayed but genuine affirmation of my appreciation for him, which makes him feel appreciated and woo-ed. It's a really fun and easy way to do that, because what's easier than checking off a few boxes? My roommates and I use the Knock Knock pads for a variety of things--especially this one and the one for grocery shopping lists." —Rachel F.
Use it to make low-effort rice, pressure cooked dishes, slow cooked dishes, and so so so so so much more.
Get a three-quart Instant Pot from Amazon for $59 (also available in six-quart and eight-quart sizes).
Promising review: "I can't believe that I love this thing. All my friends were getting them and raving about it. But I absolutely hate my slow cooker, and I figured this device would be much the same. I finally decided to get one when my friend posted that she had made amazing carnitas in it. My husband is Mexican and carnitas are his favorite food, so I thought I'd get one to try it out and hope everyone was right. The first thing I made (after the water test) was the carnitas and they KNOCKED OUR SOCKS OFF. Then I made rice and it came out better than my old rice cooker. Tonight I made ribs and the entire family went wild. I've had this Instant Pot for roughly 48 hours and I'm already using it for a fourth time right now to make oatmeal. Get one. You will not be sorry." —Regina Croskey-Corcoran

Promising review: "Well, I ordered this one, after listening to my husband complain about how much clothing my girls have and how cluttered the closet looks. He advised me to get rid of some of the clothes, so I ordered this product to see if we could organize it better. Wow, it is just amazing how much space this little thing can create. The closet does not look messy or bulky anymore, it definitely doubled the space in the closet. One thing I really like is that you can move the bottom bar as you need it, and the clothing in the bottom has enough space. Those little hooks to hang purses and hats —wow, great idea. I got another to organize my closet, and I am so excited to see the end result." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Made sushi for the first time last night and it was awesome!!! This thing is so easy!! I was able to make rolls with rice on the outside with no problem — just added a little water to the roll mat and voila! I purchased eel sauce and made spicy mayo and put them in squirt bottles to give the platter that restaurant look. I also added black sesame seeds to the outside of one and a very inexpensive black caviar to another. My guests and husband were all amazed!" —Beach Mom

Get it from Amazon for $46.87.
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
Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (also available in walnut).
Promising review: "I bought this tray for my husband, so when he eats on the sofa his food doesn't end up everywhere. Predictably, upon arrival he told me he 'didn't need that,' but started using it right away, and uses it every day now. He also uses it to do his daily crossword puzzle, pay the bills, etc. I have one that is similar but heavier, because it is a different type of wood. Now I want one like his!" —Elizabeth Sisongdeth

Promising review: "I ended up giving this mug to an older brother for a gift. He loved it. Knowing that he should never be addressed before his first cup of coffee (he was that way as a teenager too) he still has a sense of humor. He actually guffawed when he read it but then looked meaningfully at my sister-in-law. Ah well — it is a great fit for those of us who can't wake up to conversation first thing in the morning." —North Woods Sally

Get it from Amazon for $19.97.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this charcuterie and cheese board! The hubby and I love winding down with some wine, cheese and charcuterie. We have tried other boards, and usually the crackers tumble off the board as I walk from the kitchen to the couch (Yes I am clumsy). The nice thing about this board is that is comes with grooves on each side to hold things like crackers, or olives or nuts, things that usually roll off my other boards haha." —Foreverjaded
