Promising review: "I don't know how I even functioned before I had one of these. This one device has ended the age-old 'COULD YOU JUST CHECK WHAT TIME IT CLOSES PLEASE!' argument in my house. Want to know what traffic is like? Do you want to know when the movie starts? How about you want to wake up on time but you just found the comfy warm spot & realized your didn't set alarms for the morning so you are playing the alarm roulette game? Want to know about when that restaurant closes? Or maybe you need to turn on calming sleepy time music but your hands are trying to wrestle an infant screaming bloody murder because they enjoy being nudie and you are trying to get them into their feetie jim jams? ALEXA CAN HELP WITH THAT! It's only $50 ... just make your life easier."—Niki

Promising review: "I needed a pillow to help with shoulder pain & to help with snoring due to allergies. This pillow has helped with shoulder pain as now after using the pillow for only a few nights I wake up with much less pain & stiffness. My husband says my snoring has definitely decreased as I am able to sleep more comfortably on my side. I also liked that the pillow came in a very usable wrap that will protect the pillow for traveling. I would recommend this to anyone with snoring or other physical pain sleeping problems." —Gail Walters

Promising review: "My mother bought both my husband and I a small bottle as a gag gift this past Christmas. Little did she know, this product would become a necessity in our household of five people. It has been a godsend to currently pregnant me, who finds offense in the scent of even the most pleasant of smells sometimes, never mind the smell of another human being's excrement. (Which is kind of ironic considering how much poo I'll be getting all up in just a few short months.) Poo-Pourri has made it possible for me to use the restroom within minutes (rather than hours) of a family member doing their business in there, which is vital considering how frequently pregnant women need to pee. After using up one of the small bottles gifted to us, I immediately logged into Amazon and bought the biggest bottle I could find using Subscribe & Save. Thank you Poo-Pourri, you're a gag-reflex saver!" —Rachel N. Briggs

Promising review: "This is a great subscription box. It's chock full of fresh, high-quality ingredients. Makes playing home-bartender so much fun!

Promising review: "'Soft and velvety,' is what my fiancé says. He says the shade of red is the perfect color. Definitely not drying once it sets. Leaves my lips super soft and matte.

It has over 4,000 five-star reviews from other beard-havers!
Get it from Amazon for $10.86.
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 'stach 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." —KCKENDRICK

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 book is fantastic especially for people that are either new to photography or are looking to find different ideas for backgrounds and aspects that make pictures more appealing to the observer. This book is easy to understand and really does explain the pictures with summary that is detailed enough for the reader to follow but not so detailed that people that are new to photography will be lost with terminology." —Roscoe B.

Promising review: "This map is exactly what I wanted. I have traveled extensively most of my adult life, both in my 21 years as a Marine and 32 cruises with my wife. I wanted a map with the names of the major cities of the world and this one meets my needs. Packaging and shipping was great and on time. I would highly recommend this map to anyone. I intend to mount it on poster board (cork) and use push pins to mark our world travels." —Kindle Customer

Promising review: "What is there to say about Anker power banks? This thing rocks! I'm able to get 5 full charges on my iPhone 6 and 2 full charges on my iPad mini 2, from just 1 full charge of this power bank. It packs away really nicely in the provided mesh pouch, and though it's a bit long in length, it's not obtrusive to get in the way of taking it along in your daily carry. Well worth it for the money! Highly recommended!" —Josho4
Get a 12-inch deep queen-size mattress from Amazon for $248.68 (available in sizes twin–California king and 6"–12" depths).
Promising review: "This mattress is absolutely amazing! I purchased this mattress a couple weeks ago. Both my husband's and my sleep quality has improved so much. Every time we got on the bed we are knocked out. With this memory foam mattress, we do not need to constantly turn on the bed to get comfortable anymore. The memory foam just adjusts to our body shape. It is also very steady and quiet. I am a very sensitive sleeper. I wakes up even with the slightest sound or movement. With this mattress, I barely notice my husband's movements on the bed anymore. I am able to sleep through the nights. Highly recommend to anybody who is looking to improve their sleep quality!" —Amazon Customer

This is truly my favorite way to read!" —Shannon Lewis

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.

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 Moma

Promising review: "Excellent product. I am not good at making crepes with a pan but this gadget makes it very easy. I like that it doesn’t have small crevices where batter can get stuck. This device is very easy to wipe clean. It was still on my counter after breakfast, so we just used it to make grilled cheese. I’m glad that we bought this and am looking forward to experimenting with different fillings for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner and dessert." —Virginia Lawyer Mom

Promising review: "This tray is so comfortable. It's great for working, eating, or studying in bed. The adjustable incline is awesome for laptops and the mouse pad is really useful. I like the drawer, too; its great for storing pencils, pens, or earbuds. In the slots for the phone and tablet there is a little space to slip your charger in. I am very impressed with this lap desk. It's very comfortable for breakfast in bed. I've used it about three months now, and the more I use it, the more I like it. I strongly recommend it." —Lana GF

Promising review: "This is hysterical. We love this silly Llama Sutra. Be forewarned though, not all drawings are of llamas — other animals are mixed in the book in various 'sexual' positions. There are no graphic depictions of animal privates, just tasteful silliness various animals in classic Kama Sutra positions." —Lauren R.

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
