Promising review: "I can't say enough good things about this product. I have a family of four and would frequently have to snake our shower drain, but with this it appears I won't be having that problem ever again. I even give my dog baths and this collects the hair. It does not seem to slow down the flow of water down the drain significantly. I'm very impressed. You don't know how much hair you wash down your drain until you use this!" —Aaron Morlock

Am I throwing this in here because Soylent is my sweetheart? Yes, yes I am. I *love* this stuff...maybe too much. This variety pack comes with vanilla, cacao, and strawberry. They're all good...maybe too good.
Promising review: "I’ve lost eight pounds over the course of a month by using Soylent to help me aggressively count calories. I’ll have one for breakfast, eat about a 1000-1200 calorie lunch, and one for dinner. The flavors are amazing and I actually look forward to Soylent. The original flavor tastes awful in my opinion. My favorite is cacao and then vanilla. I am looking to cut 25 more pounds and get my college body back. I fully believe Soylent is going to help me achieve it." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Where has this product been for the last 15 years? I travel 50% of the time for business and often times can’t zip up my dresses myself. I have to find a housekeeper in the hotel hallway or go to the lobby (half zipped) to find some helpful soul to zip me up. This Zipuller has solved my problem!! This tool works exactly as designed. Instructions are simple. Pull string is long enough. This is now part of my must-take travel tools. I need one for home and one for business travel now!" —Joe Bowman

I recently replaced my weighted blanket with a Sleep Pod and I am never going back. I appreciated the comfort that I got from a weighted blanket, but it was so hot I wasn't able to last under it for long. The fabric is breathable and so lightweight that I can comfortably use it in the summer and throw it in my tote bag on vacations. I feel calm and comforted every time I get in.
Promising review: "For a lifelong sufferer of miserable Restless Leg Syndrome, this is nothing short of a miracle! I was skeptical that the pod could help me, since nothing else has ever helped me, but I think since the pod contains my thrashing movements, I’m not waking myself up over and over at night. My dreams are typically very vivid and I usually don’t feel like I had a chance to turn my mind off and disconnect. I think I am getting more REM sleep with the pod because I haven’t remembered my dreams these past four nights. Also, I run hot so it’s a pleasant surprise that the pod truly is breathable and not sweaty." —Jennifer C

It comes with a lock and key in case you're storing your kid's phone and need to make sure they can't get it. You can also put your own phone in and give someone else the key if your cell separation anxiety is strong enough (mine certainly is).
Get it from The Lakeside Collection for $3.99.
Promising review: "What a game changer! Plenty of room in the zipper for my tools, phone, and snacks. The pack sits perfectly on my hips-forgot it was even there. Therefore, I was able to climb technical sections better! It was also nice not to have backpack weighting me down. So my back wasn't sore at the end of my ride. Can we also acknowledge the Shark color? Nothing on the market like it! Nice not to have the same pack as everyone else." —Marie Boettcher
Get it from Backcountry for $48.96 (originally $69.95, available in five colors).
Promising review: "This is real! It came in the same beautiful/sleek packaging that Apple always has. It came with a suede watch cover, charger, and wall plug. Everything’s there! This watch is beyond what my Series 2 was like. It charges so fast and the battery life lasts forever. I love the ECG feature and enjoy the bigger and clearer screen when reading text messages. Overall I couldn’t be more pleased with this product. It's totally worth it, I recommend it to anyone who wants one!" —Kalina Gillum
Get it from Amazon for $409+ (available in three colors).
Promising review: "I love this oil!. It's amazing for my skin hydration and helps balance too much of my own body oil production (I have dry spots and overly oily spots my body likes to make)." —Biossance Customer

This kit includes three acrylic spray bottles, multi-surface, glass and mirror, and bathroom cleaning tablets, one glass foaming handsoap bottle, a hand soap tablet, a silicone dish soap shaker, a 16-oz. powder dish soap, one steel dishwasher tablets tin, and 40 dishwasher tablets.
Promising review: "I cannot say enough about these amazing products! I stumbled onto the site and ordered the foaming hand soap tablets first. Wow. I will NEVER go back to store bought, liquid refills again. From there, I expanded to the cleaning set and now the dishwashing tablets and powdered dish soap. I am very pleased and will continue to be a loyal customer! Amazing! Thank you for helping save our planet!" —Chris

Promising review: "I think these are cool. I bought these for my husband (who usually carries around a small flashlight) for him to use while working on cars, etc. He thinks they are great! They are bright and work wonderfully. He told me I should get a pair for doing my knitting...a great idea!" —BeYouTiful

Promising review: "These things really worked for me. Flying insects love to buzz around the windows and eventually they will get stuck in this trap. It's fairly easy to apply to your window and also fairly easy to discard. I really like how this works." —Jim Hunnicut
Get it from Amazon for $2.80.
Promising review: "This thing is great. It will save you time looking for the right socket. It is under $10 and it has already saved me more than that in time alone. If you are like me and don't like messing around with dozens of different tools to fix a small issue, then this is the product for you. Obviously, it may not work in every situation depending on the size of the fastener you are trying to remove or if it is in a tight spot; however, it works in enough situations where I consider this a must buy for the amateur handyman." —Pete

Reviewers say this is also a great choice for small dogs!
Promising reviews: "My Jake loves his new water dish! The constant flow keeps the water fresh and clean. I filled it and, just to test it, emptied it two days later. There was no scum and the water was clean. I am now confident I can just replenish the water lost. Jake drinks more water than before, which is good for him. I would recommend this to any pet owner." —RescueMom
"Our little dog, who is 15 years old, was starting to have trouble seeing and drinking from her normal water bowl, so we ordered this to see if it would help! It is perfect! Not only is it higher than a bowl on the floor, which helps her neck pain but the water also moves and she loves drinking from the top part. This is great for an aging pet!" —Happypetparent

This set includes a cuticle trimmer and cuticle pusher.
Promising review: "I was very hesitant to make this purchase because of the price. I didn’t think they were going to be good because they were very cheap. I made the choice because of the beautiful color. I am amazed at how sharp they are. I love them and I’d definitely repurchase them, even if they bump up the price!" —Ana

One of my BuzzFeed coworkers wrote all about everything you should know about the Instant Pot!
Promising review: "I'm probably the last person on earth to get one of these things because I'm not into fads. It was the fact that I could supposedly make yogurt in large batches that ultimately won me over. And it's true, you CAN make yogurt in large batches with this one. You can make other stuff too and I've used it for various things. I LOVE the relatively quick cooking of things that usually take hours. Rice comes out perfect. There are lots of reasons to recommend this. It's particularly great for making a couple of meals for the week ahead that can be eaten all week." —LG
Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in three sizes and styles).
Promising review: "This stuff really is AWESOME. I don't know where it has been all my life. With this there is no rubbing, no issues. Just slide it on like you'd use deodorant. I give it a few good swipes on any area that may even think about touching and I'm done. It's light as a feather and leaves no residue (see above photo). It is so light that I actually thought that it wouldn't work, as I was expecting some slippery substance, but that was not the case. I have taken this on the ULTIMATE test...a vacation to Mexico where chaffing thighs become both me and my husband's problem due to the constant wet skin and walking. So we both used it on a hike in a jungle. I just knew this would fail me. I was sweating, my things were sweating, my husband was sweating. I was expecting to have the stuff just wear off from the sweat and all the walking but... NOPE! It stayed on. I even took a dip in a waterfall and it was still on to take me back to the beach. Neither one of us had any problems and my husband was equally impressed. He said we weren't ever going on a vacation again without it. I absolutely recommend this product. Try it, you will not be disappointed!" —SweetPea

Promising review: "I highly suggest this product! My husband would get cold working on his computer so I figured that this would be the perfect solution. He is 6’2'' and it almost reaches down to his feet. It is extremely soft and has held up well after many washes and everyday use!" —Brock & Jess
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in three styles and 20 colors).
Promising review: "I'm embarrassed to say I hadn't cleaned my microwave in about six months. It's an awful task. I ran this one time, wiped down easily, then ran it one more time to get it detailed really clean. I highly recommend using it (more often than once every six months) for a super fast, super clean microwave!" —Kelsey

Promising review: "I've been searching for the longest time for a sunscreen that doesn't feel greasy, make me oily, or cause me to breakout. I was hesitant to purchase this because of the higher price point and small size, but it is totally worth it. This is the only sunscreen I've tried that feels nice on my skin! I use it daily and haven't experienced any breakouts or sunburn." —mckenna

Promising review: "I let my tub get extra dirty on purpose because I knew this brush set was coming. In five minutes, my tub was sparkling clean. This item is no joke. The flat brushes are awesome for big surfaces and the cone brush hits the hard to reach corners. I liked them so much I bought a set for my mom." —Jason B.

Promising review: "This works great! You just put the little alligator clip on one end of the bracelet and pull it over your wrist so you can attach the other end. Now I don't have to keep asking everyone else to help me. All my bracelets are gold or silver, and it has not marred any of them. The jaws are just strong enough to hold them without digging in to cause damage. I wish I would have bought one of these a long time ago." —J. Smith

Promising review: "I'm a nursing student and have to wear my hair in a bun every day. I've tried all the bun makers, watched YouTube videos, and spend way too much time on getting my hair into a bun. I was able to make a pretty bun that was secure in under 30 seconds. I thought it was a fluke so I did it again, and then again. I have hair to my mid back, and three of these worked perfectly for me. If I can get my hair in bun in under 30 seconds, trust me...anyone can." —Tina

Promising review: "I'm getting married in eight days and these patches have saved my life!!! I had two cystic blackheads pop up on my chin and it was swollen like a ping pong. I lanced them and put these patches on (I've used almost a whole pack) and it has been working really well on my chin. The acne is almost gone and it made them so much easier to cover up. I've just been wearing them after work and all night when I sleep. They draw the junk out of my shoulder and back acne but they aren't making it disappear. I'm just so grateful that they have helped my face so much." —Davison

Promising review: "These are GREAT! They're the perfect way to cut down on plastic in our home...no more BRITA or PUR filters for us! The charcoal lasts just as long, does a great job purifying, and then doubles as an odor absorber once its life as a water purifier is over. Just air dry your stick and put it somewhere stinky...in your car, your shoes, I'm sure you can think of something! Great product, so glad I found these!" —Caitlin C.

Promising review: "I have been using this for two weeks now and I can definitely feel a tingling sensation whenever I use this product. It helps bring blood flow to your scalp and it gives really soothing massages to your follicles. Before this product I would massage my scalp with my hand and my hand would cramp but this allows me to massage my hair for an extended time period." —Juanita Patterson
Get it from Amazon for $5.45.
Promising review: "I have searched for years for a product that lets my hair shine and look healthy instead of all dried out. I love the idea of using such a small amount and being able to leave it in my hair. Along with the Aveda hair spray I have a perfect combination." —Aveda Customer
Get it from Aveda for $31.

Promising review: "I am a magnet for bites of all kinds and carry topical and medicines with me at all times – so I figured this would be a good product to see if it really works. I woke up with a bug bite on my arm so I used this little tool (three times per the instructions) – immediately after using, it stopped itching! And less than 24 hours later the bump/bite gone! There is a very faint red mark from using the thing, but a small price to pay IMO. Bottom line: it’s awesome. I’m carrying it with me everywhere!" —Rebecca
