Promising review: "It has now been nine months and these rings are still in amazing condition. They haven't greened or gotten dull. I wear them in the shower and swimming, and no problems. They never come off of me, and I’d recommend to anyone. I plan on getting another one soon to add!" —M

Promising review: "I'm really loving this machine! It is super simple and very fun to operate. I love how I can choose how much gas I want to carbonate the water with as my tastes tend to vary daily! I can honestly say it has me drinking twice as much water. Additionally the machine is absolutely gorgeous, it looks amazing on my countertop and feels very solid!" —Claudia

The game comes with a comprehensive tutorial to play through so you can easily learn the ins and outs of the rule book before being turned loose. And as if this game didn't sound fun enough, there are paranormal romance, it will never last, and trouble with the in-laws expansion packs!
Promising review: "I have no idea how they’re making money on this game. The pieces are so high quality and the box is so unique. It's great that they’re already prepared for expansions. I love the game play and I’m always trying to show it off to whoever I can. Absolutely love." —Jessica

Promising review: "This wine decanter is exquisite. I bought it as a gift and can't wait to see their expressions when they open it. It is very elegant yet sturdy enough to be functional at dinner parties. I highly recommend purchasing this item. Also the packaging was excellent." —Dorrie

The bag has two large zipper compartments and fits a 17.5 inch laptop.
Promising review: "This bag is awesome. I looked for a week trying to find the perfect bag. Most were too small to carry everything I needed. I am able to carry my portable scanner, my surface pro laptop, two Bluetooth speakers, a hard drive, my daily planner, two other books, all my chargers and cables, and my work files, and I have room to spare. This bag is very well-made with high-quality leather. I am extremely pleased with my purchase." —The Man

Promising review: "I have been looking for a replacement shower head for a while, and I could not be happier. Beautifully made completely out of metal unlike some of the other cheap plastic lookalikes. The rain comes out perfectly and consistently. Perfect for a long relaxing shower." —Patrick C.

Promising review: "Bought this for my wife and I for Christmas, and I have to say is was a lot of fun! The questions are great conversation starters without being about topics that are argument starters. Some questions only take a minute, but others can kill 15 minutes or more. It's really up to you. Really what it boils down to is this: It's a time to put your phones down, turn off the TV, and interact with one another about something that's meaningful but also fun." —Ryan

Promising review: "Great suitcase! We brought ours to Italy and trekked across cobble stone streets and dragged it a HUGE distance from our hotel in Venice to the train stop in order to make it to our next destination, and they have held up very well through some rough treatment! They are also very light-weight for those who are flying and want to conserve poundage." —G J.

This tool is by Instant Pot, but you don't have to use it in your Instant Pot. Place the sous vide in a pot of water and place vacuum- or plastic-sealed meat inside to have it heated to the exact temperature you want for perfectly cooked steak, pork, chicken, and fish every single time!
Promising review: "My husband bought yet another kitchen gadget. He loves to make steak and chicken with this. The steak is great, medium all the way through. It is very easy to use. Cleanup is a breeze. Of all the kitchen gadgets, this one is great because it has minimal clean up and doesn't take up much space. And it works well. Definitely a good purchase for a budding chef." —KimB
Get it from Amazon for $63.15.
Promising review: "Love this as an upgrade to my very old Kindle. It’s nice that it lights up but still is paperwhite. It doesn’t hurt your eyes or over-stimulate so you ruin going to sleep. Light and much more user-friendly than my last one. Excited for the waterproof-ness so I can take to pool and beach and not be nervous!" —Jamie G

Promising review: "Happy with this measuring set. The cups come on a detachable ring, and the spoons come on their own ring, which make it easy to take them off and on for using and then storing. The color is gorgeous and perfectly matches the gold cooking utensils I bought from the same vendor. As for the quality, they appear well made, as they are heavier than other sets I’ve used. Thumbs up from me!" —Megan Harding

Promising review: "I am so glad I purchased the Bodum Chambord coffee press! In the past I have 'gone cheap' only to regret the purchase because the quality of the brewing process was poor. The Bodum is made extremely well, with tight fitting screen and plunger parts so that you get coffee — not grounds! It is easy to take apart for cleaning, and I love the sturdy, tight-fitting handle. Quality product!" —AK Bookworm

Promising review: "I hear an angel choir when I finally sit down to golden, crisp waffles. I had been craving them for months — not the thick Belgium ones, but the old-fashioned, round, thin crispy ones. This is easy to use and makes delicious waffles. I use the setting between three and four, and they come out perfect." —Kindle Customer
