Promising review: "So far the book is Amazing. I like that some of the recipes have step by step photos and that many of the recipes i remember from the legendary videos and many are new. The recipe I've made so far was the 'Juciest Honey-Glazed Fried Chicken Ever,' which was flavorful, juicy, and just delicious." —Keiser

Promising review: "I bought this as a gift for my dad. He is quite a traveler. He was really excited about it and impressed by the uniqueness of the gift. He had no idea the product existed prior to receiving it. If you want to dress it up a bit you could frame it if you’re giving it as a gift. I chose this one over the others because you could also scratch off individual states." —Sharon
If you somehow still don't know what a Squatty Potty is, it's a toilet stool that keeps your feet raised while pooping. ~Going~ in this position is supposed to fully relax your Puborectalis muscle, meaning you have an easier elimination, with no straining. And if you think that's TMI, just try it and see.

Promising review: "We have been getting steady increases in ourcCable TV bill with no increases in services. So we thought we would cut the cord and this device became the focal point for making that transition. We are very pleased with the performance of this device. It is easy to setup with prompts provided as you power it up. We then added our favorite apps, (also very easy), and have never looked back at the Cable TV being gone. We now save over $100 a month without those charges for Cable TV. If you are thinking of making the leap into cord cutting, this is the way to go." —Stephen H. Jenkins

Promising review: "The smell is very calming and not too strong or overwhelming which is great for a quiet night snoozing away...." —Leong
Everyone draws a card and play the role assigned to them (if you're a werewolf, you're trying to destroy the village; if you're a villager, you're trying to save it, etc.). You can play with up to *35* people, so it's great for even larger gatherings — though warning, your friendships will be tested.
Get it from Amazon for $12.95.
Promising review: "My group of friends love game night. We've tried all sorts of games, and when I brought this game out, everyone was skeptical. Now no one wants to play any other game but this one. Super fun! The fact that it comes in a simple deck of cards makes it so easy to carry around and bring to any party occasion just in case. With the different characters you can mix it up so no two games are ever the same. The witch character has truly tested some friendships already. The game also gives you extra cards for you to create your own characters with their own unique roles and powers. We are looking forward to creating some interesting new roles and throwing them in the mix. If you have a loud group of friends, this is the game for you!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I just received this a few days ago and I have used it so much. It has improved the quality of my photos and added brightness to my videos. It is still operating on the initial charge from when I first fully charged it. It is USB rechargeable which is a must for me. Very light and easy to stick into my work bag pocket or side of my purse. I was not disappointed. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to get ride of those harsh shadows when taking selfies, photos in low light, or videos on their —Connie

Promising review: "I got one of these for my niece last Christmas - then we had to get one for the four other nieces and nephews (yes, even the boys) because everyone wanted one. Even for the adults, brushing the sequins back and forth is really soothing. We draw letters on them with my toddler for fun too. And they're so pretty! Love these!!!

Get it from Yeti for $29.99 (available in nine colors).
Promising review: "I usually make a huge cup of coffee in the morning. I've had bariatric surgery so i have to drink it slowly throughout the morning. By the time i would try to finish it, it would be ice cold. So i would end up throwing half the mug full away. Not any more! This mug keeps it nice and toasty for about five hours. Which gives me plenty of time to enjoy the whole mug! Plus the color is beautiful!" —Tomi H.
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
Promising review: "Super fun, but equally frustrating. I bought it for my dad who loves puzzles like this. He would try for five minutes, get frustrated and give up, then pick it back up 30 seconds later and try again 😆. If you can’t hack it, it makes a great desk ornament 😁"—laef

Get it from Amazon for $8.98 (available in 31 colors).
Promising review: "Looks just like the pictures. Beautiful color and super soft, like cashmere on your skin, which I love. It's medium-heavyweight so not too heavy and annoying and not too light where you would still be cold. Love this scarf and I have one in the neutral colors as well. Glad I purchased them and I can't believe I got them for under $10, great purchase." —Rhonda H.
It includes 10 punch-out paper dolls plus 64 pages of outfits!
Get it from Amazon for $18.95.
Promising review: "I bought this for a friend for a gift and he loved it! I was very happy with the high quality of the paper. I had worried they would be like the paper dolls of my youth, sturdy doll and flimsy clothes. If you could bring yourself to cut into this beautiful artwork though, you'd be able to dress and undress Bianca Del Rio over and over as much as you want (and who DOESN'T?!)." —sassette00

::opens dryer, takes a big whiff of laundry smell:: These'll actually help soften clothes and help dry things faster too!
Get them from Amazon: hedgehogs for $9.50 and pufferfish for $9.50.
Promising review: "I’ve used these several times for different laundry types. It did speed up the drying times for towels. My clothes were softer after using these. I even tried leaving out the fabric softener and my clothes were still soft. My husband is highly allergic to wool, so I can’t use the wool dryer balls. These work well without the allergens. They don’t have any smell. I was worried they might have a plastic or silicone smell, but they don’t even when they're hot. They look adorable sitting on top of my drying waiting to be tossed in again." —B. Blunt

Promising review: "Move from slippers to loafers to boots — cannot be without. Just bought a second pair and will probably get a third pair. I use them in my Ara loafers & sneakers, my well-worn UGG slippers and boots, anytime I want to feel dreamy, soft comfort. They can be trimmed if needed, you know; and you can remove the existing insole to use as a pattern." —Frozenaddict

Get a set of three from Amazon for $16.56.
Promising review: "These things actually work. I was skeptical about how effective they would be. I was expecting the cheese to pool at the bottom or for them to be extremely hard to clean. Neither is the case. They take a little bit of experimenting to figure out what the right toaster setting is for good toasted bread with just the right amount of cheese being melted. Supposedly you can make 150 sandwiches using this set of three bags. Definitely worth the purchase given the low cost, ease of use, and ease of storage." —Franklin Hood
Get it from Amazon for $19.78.
Promising review: "I bought this book for my fiancé - he had seen it in a museum, but the prices were super high. I ordered it, and when I picked him up a couple of days later, he was overjoyed. On our way home from the airport, he found a pizza place in a neighboring town next to where we live, and this pizza was amazing! We are looking forward to trying more pizza in the NYC area." —dsj0102

Get them from Amazon for $24.99 (available in 65 colors and patterns, adult regular and large sizes).
Promising review: "My wife's feet are always cold. She has worn alpaca slippers to bed for years. Then I saw these Pudus and decided to try them. They are superior to anything we've ever found. They are snug and the warmest socks/slippers ever. The rubbery stuff on the bottom serves as a non-slip surface without being solid like a shoe sole. They are simply perfect for lounging and sleeping." —Richard Mann

Promising review: "You know why you're spending $13 on a tiny sword cheese grater. It works fine but it's the 'cool' factor that has you even considering buying this. So rest assured, it's cool! You'll be stoked to wield this while shredding parmesan on the plate of the one you love. Got some money to spare? Go for it!" —Tiffiny Karoll
