    Promising review: "I was at a restaurant and they put one of these roses in my cocktail. I knew right then I had to make these at home and ordered these while at the restaurant. These are easy to fill and have rubber snaps that lock them tight. They come right out and you can even take just one out and leave the others for the next time.

    Promising review: "I’m pretty sure I’ve never loved a purchase from Amazon as much as I love this one. This product is EXTREMELY well made and very unique. Plus, it does the job of hiding the ugly routers and cords. And the customer service was great and responsive. I was a little hesitant to spend the money on this but after years of living with the husband’s pile of technology, the money was well spent!" —AmazonEmme

    Get it from Covogoods on Amazon Handmade for $29+ (available in customizable sizes and colors).

    Promising review: "These are absolutely beautiful! If I ever move, I'm taking them with me. You may think they're a little pricey, but they're REALLY heavy and far nicer than the stuff you find at the local hardware store. I bought the switch plate, outlet plates, and even a blank plate to cover an old electrical box left behind by DIRECTV." —Karebow

Not just for scraping jars, but getting every last bit out of the protein powder, for scraping down the sides of batter bowls, for mixing soups and stews while cooking, even as a spoon for testing. I now have three of these (in different colors) so I'll always have one at the ready." —Paul J DeSimone

    Get it from Amazon for $10.10 (available in four colors).

    reviewer laying on the neck pillow

    After ages of looking at this thing and wondering if it was the real deal, I finally buckled and bought it. My husband and I both carry stress in our neck, and we're on our computers all day for work, so we needed some serious help. This is surprisingly comfortable to lay on. I use it 10 minutes a day and have noticed serious pain relief, and believe it is a great tool as I work on improving my posture.

    If you have any neck or back issues, talk to your doctor before use.

    Promising review: "I was very surprised at the quality of this neck and shoulder relaxer especially at this price. It has a nice structure to it, but is also soft enough to cradle your neck in comfort. Just taking a few minutes to use this helps to improve my neck and shoulder pain greatly. This especially helps when you have slept on your neck wrong and have a Crick in your neck. Very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend it." —Cindy

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in six colors).

    10. A cheese keeper to keep your favorite cheeses, both hard and soft, alive longer by allowing them to breathe. In the words of her highness, Veruca Salt, "Give it to me NOW!"

    Promising review: "Oh wow! I followed the directions and put that moist paper towel in with my cheese, on the bottom and put some unwrapped and cut Jarlsberg wedge in it. I left for vacation and two weeks later came back, and it was still fresh and moist and not moldy! Huzzah! I'm MIGHTY impressed with this simple gadget. I hate food waste and this is super helpful!" —Awesome Taste

    Get it from Amazon for $11.54.

    11. A high-voltage bug zapper that's gonna zap insects within 1,500-square-foot area. All those creepy crawlies who try and ~bug~ you during the summer are doomed! This works so well you're not gonna believe how fast your yard turns into a horsefly cemetery.

    Promising review: "You will not be disappointed. I just moved out to the country and have been working out in the garage late at night. With the weather getting warmer, I've had the garage doors opened and mosquitos, gnats, and everything else have been finding there way into my garage, so I had to do something about it. I bought this and hung it next to my garage door opener because there's an outlet there and it is way better than expected. I have dead bees, stink bugs, gnats, mosquitoes, and other bugs that I do not know what they are. My 8-year-old son keeps asking me to remove the bottom tray so he can see all of the dead bugs that got zapped. Again, you will not be disappointed, I'm extremely happy I bought this!" —Chris & Jenny

It is compact, easy to use, and takes great quality reproductions of pictures in sticker form — how fun. I would recommend this product to anyone who wishes to give an out-of-the-ordinary gift." —Bianca Trevino

This unique cutting board allows me to cut various foods and slide them through an opening directly into a sealable plastic container. the time savings and organization allows for faster prep time. The bamboo board works well for this purpose." —N Hara

    Get it from Amazon for $77.99.

    14. A Baroque mirror sure to shock your friends when you tell them you found it on Amazon. That is, IF you tell them.

    Promising review: "All I can say is woooow! This mirror is not only affordable, but the quality is amazing. It’s heavy and not cheap looking. The gold color is not so tacky, and it’s done just right. My main concern was receiving a broken mirror but the packaging was great and arrived in one piece. Don’t hesitate buying this gem, you need it!" —Celeste C

    16. A 3-in-1 wireless charger can help you rid your side table of pesky charging cords. Charge your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods all at the same time, and all in the same place! No tangled-up collection of cords needed. 

    Promising review: "I love this charging station! I‘m one of those people who has all the Apple things, so being able to charge my phone, watch, and AirPod Pros at the same time is a total game changer for me. I can’t even guess how many times I’ve misplaced my AirPods because I didn’t have a dedicated place for them. Now there’s no question where they are every morning. Not only that, but the charger is pretty fast (especially for the watch and earbuds) and the station itself is easy to set up and use." —Anonymous

    Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in six colors).

    17. A customizable set of plastic storage cubes that'll snap together and create a perfect storage system, no matter where you place them.

    19. An ultra soft faux fur rug sure to feel luxurious every time you get out of bed and have this fancy fuzz between your toes instead of the cold wood floors beneath your feet.

    Promising review: "My parents went to Europe and sat outside on furs like these and now they do the same at home. They live in the mountains in Utah. They put these on their metal patio chairs and then cover themselves with a blanket outside in the winter. The furs keep your backside insulated and then topped with the blanket they are able to have cocktail hour(s) on the deck all year long! It’s honestly pretty sweet and the dog gets her own to lie on when she’s outside too." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in six sizes and eight colors). 

    20. A suspiciously chic flat water bottle you can fit into any bag or backpack and thus, hydrate throughout the day.

    21. A magnetic bobby pin tray that'll hold tight to your hair pins, getting you out of any ~hairy~ situations when your 'do doesn't quite stay in place.

    Get it from Amazon for $16.49 (available in two colors).

    22. A decorative cork canister set to make your kitchen look clean, cool, and magazine-ready. Picture a shelf of these vs. a shelf of cereal boxes. These are a game changer!

    Promising review: "I absolutely love the look of these storage containers (pictured above, right)! They are so unique and modern. The quality is great, the glass is pretty thick, and they seem very durable. The reason I'm docking one star is because some containers don’t quite seal air tight correctly like the rest. Not sure if it’s the glass container or the cork but I did come across that one issue with some of the jars. Overall though, I would recommend these containers." —Mig and Les

    Get a set of three from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in four sizes).

    Promising review: "These are beautiful napkins. They are a fine weight for everyday use and hold up to the washing machine. Being linen we didn't expect them to be wrinkle-free but they are amazingly stain resistant. We are totally in love with them. We got a set of each color. They are big enough we can use one color napkin as a placemat and then an alternate color as the napkin to mix and match with the placemats. The coral color is our favorite." —Deanna O'Shaughnessy

    Get a four-pack from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in eight colors).

    This uses three AAA batteries and includes a remote that lets you set the light to different brightnesses and schedule a timer for 15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes.

    Promising review: "For the price you can’t beat it. Super easy to install and lightweight. The gold had a slight orange tint to it, so be mindful of that. I actually just taped over the light and spray-painted ours with gold spray paint I had left over and then they were absolutely perfect." —Paris Seder

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in three colors).

    25. An Echo Show 8 that'll display the weather, play videos, set alarms, and even make video calls. Once you get this in your life, you'll be shocked you lived life without this thing — trust me. 

    Promising review: "I love the size of it. It’s the perfect size to fit on our mantle, but still big enough to allow us to watch movies and shows on it. We currently have it in our playroom and the kids love being able to watch stuff on it. I love being able to display my pictures on it, which saves me from having to get a digital picture frame. The volume on it is very good and it picks up my voice very easily. Highly recommend this." —Laura

    Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (available in two colors).

    26. An LED flat plate is gonna help you read far into the night without disturbing the morning person snoozin' beside you.

    Promising review: "LOVE! This book light is perfect for nighttime reading. I opted for this particular brand over others I saw for less as it has a dimmer. I really like this one as the glow is soft and not harsh on my eyes. The dimmer has a wide range when I turn the knob. You can use this book light horizontally or vertically. It’s not large enough to cover the whole page of most books, but it does completely light up an entire page so you don’t have to move it up and down while reading." —Flora

    Get it from Amazon for $22.49 (available in two colors).

    27. A pack of four anti-snoring clips that'll help you (and your family) if your snoring is preventing everyone from falling asleep.

    Amazon, Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed

    I love this product so much I am willing to share a photo of it shoved up my nose just to show one off! I tried so many snoring solutions (I'm an actual monster, you do NOT want to hear me sleep) with no luck. I couldn't fall asleep with mouth guards and the different sprays I tried just seemed like snake oil. I used nose strips for a while, but they would fall off at night and didn't do much. These clips WORK! The magnets keep it secure in my nose and it's a cinch to fall asleep, the clips are that comfortable. Plus it looks less dweebie than basically any other physical product I've tried. And snoring? That's a thing of the past.

    Get it from Amazon for $8.29.

    28. A pocket shower curtain for ~clearly~ keeping your shower organized. 

    Promising review: "I LOVE this shower curtain. If you have a shower that doesn’t have a lot of ledge room for all your stuff, this shower curtain will be your best friend. You can fit so many things inside the pockets! You can also use this as a liner and have another, more decorative, shower curtain on the outside but I personally use it as a shower curtain. This is the best shower curtain/liner money can buy!" —DAtkins

    Get it from Amazon for $16.91+ (available in two colors).

    29. A pair of comfy period-proof underwear designed to feel just like regular underwear, so you can avoid spending money on disposable menstrual products and simply ~cycle~ through comfortable, absorbent underwear instead! How much absorption are we talkin'? Up to FOUR tampons' worth! Wild. 

    This brand of period proof underwear is also *far* easier to clean than others on the market. To clean and reuse, all you have to do is rinse (no scrubbing required) and machine wash!

    BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord loves these: "These are ideal for overnight protection and for people who are worried about leakage during sports or physical activities. I personally always wear either these period-proof undies when I go on runs on my period, and it has been a MASSIVE godsend. Also, unlike your regular undies, you don't have to scrub the blood out of these. They're designed so it rinses right out in the sink with soap and warm water, and can get tossed in the washer and dryer from there."

    Psst — reviewers love these undies, but suggest sizing up!

    Promising review: "It took me a while to finally give in and buy these, because I wasn’t sure if they would work. I am kicking myself for letting them sit in the cart for that long, while I spent hideous amounts of money on disposable products that are freaking uncomfortable torture devices that let you down when you need them most. These undies are SO. WONDERFUL. I could cry at this point. I tried these for the first time this week. One of my worse, heavier monthly rounds. I crossed my fingers, packed lots of extra pads in case they didn’t work, and dove into my hectic day. I forgot I was wearing them. No crinkle puff-butt discomfort. No running for the bathroom. They didn’t even leak overnight, which, for me, is unheard of. I’m never going back." —Blythe

    Get it from Amazon for $17.49+ (available in women's sizes 4–13, including plus sizes, in four color combos, and various multipacks).

    30. An illuminating moisturizer — if you're looking to add a lightweight alternative to your thick foundation and want an extra *glow*, then you're gonna adore this!  Reviewers say it's basically like if Glossier's Futuredew and Drunk Elephant's Bronzing Drops had a brilliant, beautiful skincare baby.

    Promising review: "I can’t believe how long this has been around! I tried Glossier’s Futuredew and realized it felt sort of too oily (and too expensive) for me. This product is SUCH an amazing duplicate that is slightly better! It’s not oily, but provides lightweight shimmer that I mix with my sunscreen for extra sun protection with some highlight effects. I love this! Does not make my super sensitive skin break out or feel oily like the Futuredew did." —e_whospends_money

    Get it from Amazon for $12.97+ (available in four shades).

    31. A stylist secret eyelash comb (at $5!!) makeup artists consider one of the very best tools for separating lashes and keeping mascara from clumping up. Enjoy some long, luscious lashes without clumps making you feel down in the dumps!

    32. A Cuisinart ice cream maker — if you wanna experiment with recipes you've only seen in restaurants, then grab this heirloom gadget and fix up some olive oil, basil, and blackberry ice cream the very *second* it ships! 

    reviewer gif showing ice cream churning in the machine

    It includes a replacement lid, 2-quart double insulated freezer bowl, paddle, and a recipe book.

    Promising review: "Got one for me, for my sister, and my parents, and we all love it! It’s easy to use, easy to clean, and best of all it makes some amazing ice cream. For best results on the consistency of your ice cream I recommend not filling it to full capacity. I always go 1.75 quarts, since some ingredients make the ice cream expand and spill over the edge. I also freeze the container a day prior to using it. I wouldn’t attempt to make more than one batch in one day, the container needs to be as cold as possible." —Beatriz

    Get it from Amazon for $99.95 (available in three colors).

    33. An Alexa-compatible 2-in-1 air conditioner to finally invest in after sweating it out for the first half of the summer. Reviewers also report that it's nice and quiet, which is something I *always* forget to consider when buying AC units, and suffer because of it! This might end up in my cart by the time I finish writing this post. Whoops! 

    Promising review: "I don’t usually write product reviews, but I am now because this is one of the best household products I have ever bought. This Midea U-shaped AC is an ingenious design that is basically a split AC system mounted in a window, with the window closing almost all the way through the middle of the unit. The result is a much quieter and more efficient unit, with the noisy part that generates heat on the outside of the closed window. It also looks sleek and modern and the remote control and app are great. I have thought many times 'I wish someone would make a split AC system that can fit in a window without having to install separate units on the roof or wall,' and now they have!" —Ben

    35. A pair of toast tongs for making sure you don't burn even a little rabbit of your fingies when your toast pops up from the toaster — no matter how impatient you are when it's breakfast time. 

    Promising review: "These are the cutest toast tongs! They are nicely crafted and the long-eared bunny design is adorable. Perfect tongs for my toaster and waffle iron. It stands by itself as a little, functional piece of art, and won't get lost in the utensil drawer like my old boring tongs. The packaging is also nice and makes this really giftable, so I'll be ordering more as gifts for sure." —Tuzi

    36. A stackable deviled egg carrier that'll make everyone's favorite BBQ side *much* more travel-friendly. If the stress of transporting these bite-sized beauties has you so worried you think you might ~crack~ then get yourself this excellent egg carrier.
