Promising review: "This thing is serious magic. if you’re familiar with LipSense products, you know they don’t leave your face unless you want them to. The lip color and liner especially are like spackle, which I LOVE!! They never budge!! This cloth removes ALL OF IT. From basic easy off makeup all the way up to the industrial strength should-pay-rent-on-your-face stuff — WITH JUST WATER. I was skeptical but I’m a believer. scrubbing is NOT abrasive, and I’m no longer using harsh products to remove my face!!" —Amber Liz

Promising review: "These things really work. I use spinach in a smoothie daily. The bottom of the box usually had to be thrown out. I now use every bit. Same goes for my wife's blueberries. We eat salads every night and the lettuce is fresh and crisp down to the last piece." —Jim A.

Promising review: "It did pass my first test! I did not expect to use this product a couple of days after I received it. Had a spill of red over one of my favorite shirts. I did try to remove the most dramatic area with water and soap right away; then I let this product sink in for half hour before washing and voilà it was all gone!" —Gerson Melgar

That handsome, hairless cat on the right is my baby boy Chuck. He occasionally wears clothes to stay warm, and this outfit is a family favorite! It's easy for him to move in, stays clean when he uses the bathroom, and makes him look like Hugh Jackman in a movie about life in the wilderness (if you squint...a lot).
Promising review: "I ordered this outfit for my baby (Buddy) to wear on Christmas Eve to go see the tree at Rockefeller Center. I cannot wait to see my family's reaction. Normally when I order clothes they're either too small or too big, but this was a perfect fit. Check the measurement chart and you can't go wrong." —Love to spend on Buddy
Get it from Amazon for $13.46 (available in sizes XS–XL).
Promising review: "I use this for my everyday boots, as well as my dress shoes. I'm not always gentle with my boots and I thought I had ruined them the other day (worn out color, scuffs all over), but I cleaned the muck off, gave them a brushing, then applied this leather honey and after letting it sit, my boots look almost like the day I bought them! It keeps the leather supple and restores color. You only need to use a small amount per use!" —David Horning

Promising review: "I really wish I would have taken 'before' pics. My hairdresser told me about this stuff and said 'it works so good I had to stop using it every night.' I thought to myself 'Oh yeah, lashes too long, no such thing' but I on my second tube and I'm going to start using every other night. My lashes are so long, and it's like I have a double row of lashes. My bottom lashes are thicker too. I rarely write reviews but wanted to share because it really really works." —Asc

Promising review: "I CANNOT emphasize enough that this stuff works MAGIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I had taken before photos, because when I say magic, I mean UTTER WITCHCRAFT. The caulking around my tub was staining moldy, but a little hit of this and it was GLOWING WHITE like we had just recaulked. I recommended it to my aunt, whose house was built in the 1970s so her tub caulking stains were over 40 years in the making, and she was going to pay someone to come in to strip the caulk and do it over new. I told her no need — just use some of this stuff! Worked like witchcraft AGAIN!!!! Her caulking is also glowing white now, and she's recommending it to HER friends now!!! This stuff is so good, you'll recommend it to everyone you know. No caulking stains are too deep for this!!!!!!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I was skeptical at first. I was afraid my keyboard would be all gummed up with yellow slime! The opposite was true, it cleaned it as good as new. This got all those dog hairs between the keys! Now there is no smell lingering on keyboard or my hands. There's no sign I even used it except a clean keyboard. It's even kind of fun to play with. Squeeze it between your fingers! LOL My next task for it will be those dust return air vents on our heating system and to use it on my dusty window blinds. This stuff works and I highly recommend!" —ZZZZZZ

This blanket is so loved in my house it's practically our newest family member. It comes in a canvas carrying bag (which is *super* helpful for storage) that my husband and I leave beside our sofa. I sleep hot and hate feeling overheated, but I really wanted to have a weighted blanket for my occasional anxiety attacks. This fit the bill! Not only does it help calm me down when I need it most, it's also totally cozy while watching movies or napping. This is well worth the splurge!

This fun shop is located in Homer Glen, Illinois and owned by Shelby Baum who specializes in personalized gifts.
Promising review: "I got this as a birthday present for my dad. The label isn’t even my favorite part of this candle – the mahogany teakwood scent is AMAZING! The lid is airtight and the jar itself is great quality, so this’ll get plenty of use once the candle itself is gone. It was much bigger than I was expecting, too!" —Sophia Rokas

I am truly a sucker for all things Liquid Death. Between myself, my husband, and our siblings I'm pretty sure we own every piece of merch available. I wrote a love letter review for their water a while ago, and I now have this spiffy headband on display in my apartment. If you appreciate funny advertisments as much as I do, you'll love joining this super-hydrated club.

Promising review: "My friends and I tried these at my sleepover, and let me tell you, we went to flavor town. Ours lasted 30 minutes, which was the perfect amount of time to try all the fruits and other things we wanted. Lemons are delicious!!!" —Picky Shopper
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
Promising review: "I love these! They're lightweight and easy to use. I have a lot of tree debris and weeds on my 1/3-acre lot. These make short work of picking up the raked up piles. And they're easy on the back." —J. Reynolds

I own this! I got it for my husband's birthday last year and it's still one of our favorite conversation pieces. It's wild to see the dust rotate around the little planet inside. If you love someone who loves space, I strongly suggest gifting them this!

Promising review: "I own a salon and have worked in them for 19 years, and never in my life have I used or seen something so amazing. I have read all about the Hanacure facial, but it is expensive and always on back order. This is the same thing AND IT WORKS. It doesn't smell bad at all. There is a veryyyy slight smell to it, but hardly noticeable and not something I'd complain about. This has natural ingredients, and boy does it work. It sucked everything out of my pores and shrunk them, and all of the lines on my face are GONE. YES, GONE. Usually I have to have Botox for my forehead. Well, not anymore, that's for sure!!" —Aja Rieger Cooke

Promising review: "This salt gun is SO MUCH FUN! I hate flies so this is the perfect solution. It's like a nerf gun but shoots salt instead. It's not too heavy to hold. However the pump is tough to pull back, which is perfect for an adult but difficult for kids. If you shoot yourself in the hands or arm, it stings a tiny bit but that's it. I Highly recommend it! Happy Hunting!" —Q. Nguyen

I got this ring after cancelling a Disney trip this year and am so glad I have it! It's obviously a ton of fun for Disney fans, but it's also a genuinely lovely ring with a fun design. The entire Disney Princess line is a great way to subtly show off your Disney love.
Promising review: "This is a very nice ring with a unique design. Of course you can't really tell it's a carriage unless you look at it from the side. I had to laugh when I showed it to my son. At first look he said it looked like a pumpkin, which is appropriate since her carriage was created from a pumpkin. The rose gold sets it off nicely. —Karen Sman

Promising review: "This is THE CUTEST handcrafted picnic table I have seen! I love the colors that I purchased — the brown color for the table and seats along with the white, which provides great contrast for the frame of the table. I choose the turquoise color for the picnic bucket. I gave this as a Father's Day gift and my dad thought it was the coolest product — one that he's never seen before for squirrels. I can't wait to put it up on the fence and watch the squirrels eat from it! :) Great quality and such a cute idea!" —Megan
Get it from Pura Vida Creations1 on Etsy for $27.99+ (available in two styles and seven bucket colors).
Promising review: "This has saved my sanity!! Our stuffed animals and blankets always ended up all over the basement. Thanks to this awesome chair, they are now all contained and they make for a super cozy reading nook under the stairs. The quality seems excellent. I expect it will last for many years! The stuffed chair is also cozy – double win!" —Emily Heilman

Promising review: "These things are so awesome! HUGE hit with the kids. I can't wait to take some camping — the colors are gorgeous! We've been using them for about a month now. Teals, greens, and blues are visible toward the top parts of the flames, and in the innermost parts of the fire, you can see ultraviolet and deep pinks. Ordering two more right now and will be using these all summer!" —VWatson

Promising review: "I love my new sunset lamp. No complaints here. It's a great addition to my room." —Ashley Santana
Get it from Amazon for $13.59+ (available in two styles).
Promising review: "Got exactly what I expected. Not a high-end, fancy fixture, a nicely priced, fun lamp I could drop in a corner and add some lumens to my home office. Super easy to assemble. Came with extra bolts/washers/etc. and I LOVE that. Hate when a company fails to include the required hardware for assembly. Love that they included extra! I found that once assembled and positioned, I had to go back once to tighten everything. Not sure if that was because I was not aggressive enough the first time, but once I went over it again, works great – stays in place. Want something charming, unpretentious and fun that lights up a section of room? I recommend you consider this floor lamp." —John R.

Promising review: "I cannot believe how awesome these bookshelves look in my room. With my classic leather-bound books stacked neatly on top, these apparently floating books give the room a sense of charm and intrigue. I am so glad I got these shelves. They are easy to install and each can safely hold three of my large leather bound books. They do not wobble or shake. They are very stout and sturdy, and I do not have any worries with the weight they bear. I am confident they will securely hold to the wall and keep my books unharmed. The metal is durable and long-lasting. So many of my friends and family have complimented these statement pieces and have gotten some for their own book collections." —Burrells

Promising review: "Holy Cheesus, this sandwich press is hysterical AND it makes a really good sandwich. It's been a huge hit in our house! We did notice that it needs to cool off a bit between sandwiches (just a minute or two) or the face isn't as clear (spraying the plates with a little bit of canola oil really helps you get a good impression on your bread)." —April D
