1. Hard candy that's flavored like a variety of different sodas: from grape to orange.
Promising review: "This is the best soda candy I've tasted. It comes in a variety of flavors, so you won't get bored. When you put it in your mouth, it starts a reaction in the candy (probably citric acid + bicarbonate) that causes it to very lightly fizz." —Ananda Hongsa
Price: $3.73

5. A shower curtain printed with Jeff Goldblum's bespectacled visage.
Promising review: "Nothing has ever made me as happy as this shower curtain. His face looks through my bathroom door as if to greet my guests and welcome them to the bathroom. Sometimes 5 stars is not enough. This is one of those times. Everyone should own this." —Amazon Customer
Price: $15
6. A gadget that'll have you chopping and slicing up a garden's worth of vegetables with ease.
Promising review: "My husband does most of our cooking and he uses this chopper 3-4 days a week. Easy to use, clean, and store. My sister saw it and asked for one for her birthday!" —Joy Elliott

7. Plus a set of nylon knives for kids who want to help out in the kitchen.
Promising review: "These are great for my little four year old who is sooo interested in helping me cook dinners. The plastic blades are serrated, so they grab onto the food, and they're just 'sharp' enough to make it easy for little arms to slice through veggies. I was worried that these would be gimmicky, but I REALLY DO enjoy letting my son use them. They have a permanent spot in my knife block." —Rachel L
Price: $8.94

Promising review: "Simple, clean, effective design, works well. Good sound, comfortable fit. Inexpensive. I bought three at different times for my daughters as alternatives to the various inexpensive earbuds that they kept having trouble with. They use these at home, and just use the earbuds when out." —Rich

14. A pet-hair-removing device that's as hideous as it is useful.
Promising review: "This 'rock' is truly a miracle!!! I've had a Dyson that didn't pick up cat/dog hair like this bad boy. I was about to throw away my favorite area rug because I just couldn't get the deeply imbedded hair out. A little bit of hard work with this 'rock' and my rug looks absolutely brand new!!!" —JSRaggio
Price: $12.40

20. An adjustable rolling pin that'll get your dough to ~just~ the right level of thickness you need it to be.

Price: $17

23. A cube to fidget with when you're anxious and just can't keep your fingers still.
Promising review: "It REALLY calms my anxiety. The click and the flip are very satisfying with nice auditory input. The glide is extremely moveable. The roll has a great tumbler clicking sound. The smooth ball roll is tactile heaven. Breathe is a 'worry stone' shape that is soft and silently soothing. So much better than a squeeze ball. Buy it if you fidget!!" —Suero
Price: $4.20

24. A humidifier/diffuser that can change into seven different colors.
Promising review: "I did a lot of research before buying this diffuser. I wanted something attractive and not too bulky for my bedside table. This was the perfect choice. The diffuser will run all night if set to intermittent and about 3 hours if set on continuous. It shuts off automatically when empty." —Amy Dickens
Price: $25.99
25. A pad of sticky notes to formulate your day's attack plan on.
26. A pack of four petite silicone cups that'll help you make perfectly poached eggs.
Promising review: "For years I have poached my eggs the old-fashioned way, but I could never figure out how to do more than one egg at a time without getting egg white all over the place. It finally occurred to me that there must be an easier way, and lo and behold, I found these. They are super cute (which is clearly important). They work great, even when I forget to spray them with Pam first. I have used them to poach eggs both on the stovetop and also in the microwave, and they work great either way. Easy to clean. Very happy with this purchase." —C.M. Borgia
Price: $10.95
27. Tad, dash, pinch, smidgen, and drop-sized measuring spoons made from stainless steel.
Promising review: "This item is meant to be a fun gift or amusing addition to your utensil drawer but has become THE item I need for measuring the correct amount of a bulk health product I choose to take daily. The amount needed is 1/16 of a teaspoon, which isn't one of your standard measurements and is quite difficult to judge accurately by guessing. The 'Pinch' is 1/16 teaspoon and perfect for what I need. FYI - The 'Drop' equals 1/64 tsp, the 'Smidgen' is 1/32 tsp, the 'Pinch' is 1/16 tsp, the 'Dash' is 1/12 tsp, and the 'Tad' is 1/4 tsp." —Rita T

30. A dishwasher-safe peeler with blades for "soft" vegetables (tomatoes) as well as "hard" ones (potatoes).
31. A water bottle (with a leak-proof lid) that collapses when you're not using it.
Promising review: "This is by far the best water bottle ever made. Compact for packing, twist-off wide mouth to refill, locking cap that's attached so you don't lose it, and a hard plastic grip that solves the big problem with collapsible bottles (they squish when you're trying to drink). I cannot say enough great things about this water bottle. I'll never use another again!! Exceptional product." —Caitlin Shapiro
Price: $19.95
