To use, soak the terra cotta disc with water, place it back on the lid, and seal it closed. This keeps juuust enough moisture around to keep brown sugar soft!
Promising review: "I was gifted with one of these amazing little storage containers and now my brown sugar, which had dried out and hardened up, is loose and naturally moist. I don't use a lot of brown sugar and I am so glad to not have to buy new brown sugar on the occasions I do need a bit. No more waste, and the size and shape fits perfectly in my pantry with my other dry goods. I plan to buy all of my friends one for their birthdays! This is my new favorite thing." —practicalCindy

Promising review: "This is an extremely soft blanket. The color is spot on. I gifted to my mom for Mother’s Day and she loved it. She loves how soft it is. It’s big enough to cover her body. This is a very comfortable blanket. I would love to order more if they come out with light grey or white." —Isis Cazares

Promising review: "We love these. They go so well with our modern/boho/Scandinavian home aesthetic. The texture is not smooth but like chalk board. I was surprised by that but it doesn't affect how much I love these vases." —Andy Washington

Promising review: "I am very happy with this shower curtain. I researched shower curtains for a long time and finally decided to buy this one online. It is so beautiful in my bathroom that is black/white with splashes of color. It has a really nice pattern." —MontanaGal2

This requires three AAA batteries, not included.
Promising review: "This is the most fantastic umbrella ever! I'm very glad I bought it. It's very durable, even in high winds. It slides open very smoothly and doesn't catch when I'm taking it down. The carrying case is very helpful and allows you to have your hands free when not in use. It can cycle through all of the colors constantly, or it can stay on just one. It has the options of red, green, blue, purple and white. There's also an LED flashlight on the bottom of the handle. It takes three AAA batteries and they seem to last quite a while. The lights are bright enough to see even during the day time. I was very surprised and pleased at the quality and durability. A great buy." —SM

This gem has seven functions: rice cooker, pressure cooker, slow cooker, steamer, sauté, yogurt maker, and warmer. And be sure to check out my BuzzFeeder coworker's rave review!
Promising review: "This is quite possibly the coolest, most versatile kitchen gadget I’ve ever owned. I love it so much that I’ve purchased two more for friends and relatives. What can it do? I think the real question is 'What can’t it do?' I truly believe you could replace every cooking appliance (including your oven and stove top) and do EVERYTHING in the Instant Pot. I purchased two sizes for my own use: the 3-quart (which is my almost-every-day workhorse for two person dishes) and the 8-quart (which I bring out to handle my dinner party dishes). Everything I’ve tried has been fabulous. In the realm of kitchen appliances, there is no better investment than the Instant Pot. Highly recommended!!!" —Stereoman

This works with square tissue boxes, be sure to grab ones that fit!
Promising review: "I'm in a dorm room and wanted to keep my color scheme going throughout the room (white/blush/gold), and multi-colored tissue boxes can look chaotic in such a small space. It's cute and functional." —Rebecca

Promising review: "This has been a game-changer for me and my teen girls during the quarantine. It's a great product that’s provided lots of workouts and it's fun to boot. It's easy to fill the base with sand or water. This is a great product at a reasonable price. It’s gotten a lot of use already and no signs of wear." —Elizabeth Leitko

Promising review: "This tray is cute, modern, durable, and is a great compliment to many rooms in my home. I find that having four individual trays is convenient, and I also like that I can combine them together if I do not need to have everything separate. Having the ability to customize the pieces is handy for creativity, as well as complimenting the space I want to use them in. I sometimes have random trinkets that quickly clutter up a space and this tray is a great way to visually add division and organization." —Kimhoay

One of my BuzzFeed coworkers wrote a review about why she thinks you need this cold brew maker.
Promising review: "I love cold-brewed coffee! The biggest problem with making iced or cold coffee was the watered down taste that I had when I added ice to freshly brewed coffee. Takeya solved that problem! This product is incredibly easy to use, and the coffee is delicious! All it takes is some coarsely ground coffee, water and time to brew. In less than three minutes, I had the Takeya loaded and set it in the fridge to brew overnight. While I missed the smell of fresh coffee brewing the next morning, I got over it pretty fast when I tasted the cold brew. So happy to be able to enjoy my favorite hazelnut brew without the acidic taste. I am thinking about buying a second one so that I can have a cup or two in the afternoon." —Tennis Vol

I actually own these! I prefer using bar soap for just about everything (I hate plastic bottles) but it took me a really long time to find a bar that smelled nice and wasn't drying. Zum Bar made all the difference! These are so moisturizing and smooth I'm able to use them instead of shaving cream. I've tried just about every scent and they all smell amazing. Because they're natural, even when I have them all stored together the smells complement each other. My bathroom smells amazing and my skin is soft, smooth, and clean!

BTW, all purchases from Farmhouse Fresh help fund the rescue and care for abused farm animals by supporting their animal sanctuary!
Promising review: "After so many five star reviews and being on the 'O' List I had to find out about this stuff for myself. Now I know! I have used the three products and my feet feel and look so much better. I am a runner, a cyclist, and I take several cardio classes a week. My feet take a beating. These three little products have brought my feet back to life." —Tandemrider

Promising review: "This board is SO BEAUTIFUL, the colors are very contrasting and there is even a bit of a luster within the wood! Not only that, it's also sturdy, a good size, and comes with clear instructions to care for it. I struck gold with this. It's super high quality and I definitely recommend. it" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This is awesome and very pretty! My daughter and I had such a fun girls' night doing our nails with this lamp. I was impressed and wowed when we found out it had an auto detect sensor. It's so simple to use and I love the white pearl finish. It's beautiful and works well. We used it for 30-second intervals for each coat of polish and sealed the top for a minute and half. No regrets here. I love that a whole hand fits and it's still not nearly as bulky as the ones at the nail salons." —Starkiss22

Promising review: "I've owned and enjoyed most Amazon readers over the last 10 years and have never had any complaint with any of the devices. The last generation Kindle Paperwhite was a superior device, as was the Kindle Voyage. This Paperwhite seems to take the best of both and create a master device that exceeds the expectations for both. I've had my new Paperwhite for several weeks now and I've come to the conclusion that Amazon may have great difficulty finding a way to make it better next time. Is it really that good? I think it's nothing short of a masterpiece." —R. Dennis Hall

This little thing is the Ferrari of infant carriers. Made of 100% cotton, its innovative design adjusts in three width settings and two height settings to allow for an ergonomic position for newborns, infants, and early toddlerhood. The carrier can adjust to carry your child on your back or chest, and uses a wide bottom strap for ultimate comfort for both parent and child.
Promising Review: "Thissssss! This carrier is saving my sanity! My baby is so happy whenever he is in it! He immediately passes out as soon as he goes in. It's glorious and an essential in my life. The panel has snaps to adjust from a newborn to a 45-pound toddler. It's easy to adjust, breathable, and lives up to the Tula name. Where was this for my other kids? I love it!" —Chris and Jamie

Promising review: "This is the best purchase I have made. I'm in love with my Chillbo Baggins. It comes with a matching bag to hold it. It's so easy to set up and the instructions are simple. I love the durability and quality. I used it at the pool and it was great! Then my neighbor had a backyard BBQ and I brought it with me to lounge on lawn and everyone loved it. If you don't have one already I highly recommend you get one." —Maribel Jimenez
Get it from Amazon for $44.90 (available in 12 colors).
Promising review: "I have been experimenting with beef and pork roast meals with this. I LOVE it. There are no scorch marks on the bottom after cooking. The cast iron spreads the heat out so effectively that your entire contents are at nearly the same temperature with no hot spots. Indeed, this device is very heavy. That is what makes it work so well. I have used it on my gas stove in the oven and on a top burner, both methods have worked very well." —quiet bells

Promising review: "This wallet is perfect for those who are tired of lugging around a purse. There is a place for everything and keeps stuff perfectly organized. Great for travel as well as everyday use. I purchased the wallet about five months ago – I use it every day and it is holding up very well!" —dlweber

I have always preferred to wear, ahem, nothing to bed and finally decided I needed to step up my sleep wardrobe for when family and friends visit. After trying these out I officially switched – I'm a pajama person now! They are so smooth I slide around in my sheets, which I love.
Promising review: "These are the best pajamas I've ever purchased. I'm completely hooked. The quality is amazing and they're super comfortable. I will be ordering all the other colors." —Mandie
Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 13 colors and sizes S–XL).
Promising review: "This is a fantastic product for a fair price. Silk pillowcases have always been one of my go-to gifts for anyone – they can be expensive, a luxury item that some people find it hard to invest in for themselves. As a result, I've probably tried and/or purchased almost every mainstream brand out there today. This is by far the best product and somehow also one of the most reasonably priced. The silk is the highest grade and, with the standard at 25mm, they are just as thick, if not thicker, than most products out today. As a result, they remain silky and smooth for many more washes. Other options out there will be disappoint compared to this." —Mark Sarlitto
Get it from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in 11 colors and three sizes).
Promising review: "I have curly hair and typically only co-wash. I can use every product in this kit and still have bouncy curls. I especially love the way everything smells! I do like the deodorant but it doesn’t stop you from sweating if you’re working out. It is good for daily use though. I love it." —frecklieface
