    48 Gifts To Give Yourself If Your Secret Santa Failed You

    No one knows what you really want more than you do, so you might as well treat yourself.

    1. A pair of 2nd Gen Apple AirPods Pro because this season you truly deserve to treat yourself, and by treat yourself, I mean tune out the rest of the world and pretend you're the angsty main character in a romcom while listening to Guts by Olivia Rodrigo.

    Promising review: "The AirPods Pro deliver exceptional sound with effective noise cancellation. Their comfortable design, seamless controls, and adaptive features make them a top choice for a premium wireless earbud experience. With spatial audio, long battery life, and effortless connectivity, they excel in both performance and convenience. Great deal." —Altruistic

    Get them from Amazon for $237.99.

    2. And if you're looking for a less expensive (but still top-notch option), these wireless Bluetooth earbuds are waterproof, come with multiple silicone earbuds so you can find your perfect size, and happen to be just as good as more expensive headphones on the market at a fraction of the cost.

    A single charge provides over 10 hours of usage, and the rechargeable case can have them fully juiced up in under two hours. 

    Promising review: "These are by far the best earbuds I’ve ever used. No exaggeration. My husband had these in his Amazon cart a couple of months ago but never checked out. Well, it’s about to be Christmas soon, so I chose to get these on the sly for him. When they came in I wanted to make sure everything was working correctly before wrapping them up for Christmas. The sound quality is absolutely perfect, the noice cancellation is AMAZING! They were on low and the sound was crystal clear. I asked my 6-year-old son to talk so I could see how well they canceled out noise and I couldn’t hear him, so I told him to shout and I still couldn’t hear him at all. My husband will absolutely love these!! Also, now I need to get myself a pair as well! Definitely happy with my purchase!" —Ashley Haley

    3. Revlon hot air brush you can use to dry and style your hair at the same time! If you're someone who is often pressed for time when getting ready, this wonderful gadget is a true game changer.

    Promising review: "I have a lot of hair. A LOT. Like, 'Wow, is that Wookiee over there?' LOTS. I have looked into having a third arm surgically implanted. My shoulders are so tired holding up a dryer and a round brush for eternity. I almost have to wake up BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP in order to have enough time to dry my hair before work. This thing took me eight minutes. I naturally assumed, upon finishing, that I had entered some sort of Amazon-created beauty time warp. I checked with my husband in the next room, and in fact, I did not go through a blowout wormhole. The silkier-than-silk style was accomplished by this miracle of a brush in eight minutes. Several more minutes were still lost to running my hands through my hair and flicking it over my shoulder while smiling coquettishly in the mirror. If you struggle with an overabundance of hair as I do, then seriously consider giving this amazing contraption a try." —Chris

    Some reviewers with 4a–c hair like this brush but others didn't work — if you're looking for something that was designed with coilier hair in mind, you may wanna check out the Revlon One-Step paddle brush.

    Get it from Amazon for $40.07+ (available in five colors). 

    4. The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook that will basically be your ticket on the Hogwarts Express because it'll help you make all the meals you've read about in your fave fictional world.

    reviewer photo of pumpkin pasties made from the recipe book

    Some notable recipes include treacle tart, Molly's meat pies, and Kreacher's French onion soup. Pictured right: pumpkin pasties.

    Promising review: "I LOVE IT, I'm no master chef, but this cookbook might change that. I might even become a master wizard chef! Anyways the recipes are phenomenal, especially the pies! It's pretty basic sometimes, it's more European-type cuisine, so if you don't like haggis, liver, lamb, or other English/Scottish dishes, etc., then these recipes aren't for you. The book references are cute, and I vaguely remember some of them. My younger siblings go crazy when I make anything from this book because they love Harry Potter." —Tigerlily

    Amazon

    This vacuum uses iAdapt 2.0 Navigation and vSLAM technology so the robot can map its surroundings around your home. It has a three-stage cleaning system that loosens, lifts, and suctions dirt, dust, and pet hair. It can clean under beds, sofas, and a variety of hard-to-reach areas. Its high-efficiency filter can catch about 99% of allergens, pollen, and dust. The vacuum can connect to Wi-Fi, and works well on both carpets and hard floors. Download the iRobot Home app here.

    Promising review: "Life changing. My Roomba is one of my favorite things I have ever bought myself. It’s incredible! It cleans so thoroughly and I am so impressed by how well it cleans under furniture. As a two-cat owner who is not the best at maintaining a cleaning schedule, I can’t believe it took me this long to get one. It is also great on both carpet and hard wood!" —Katherine Hanson

    Get it from Amazon for $214.99+ (also available with a virtual wall barrier).

    6. massage gun that'll finally allow you to call the personal masseuse you never had and tell them it's over.

    gif of a reviewer showing the massage gun
    reviewer holding the massage gun

    It comes with five massage heads and five speed levels to try out — and weighs just 1.5 pounds!

    Promising review: "I have had chronic issues with pain caused by severely knotted muscles. This massager changed my life! I have tried muscle relaxers, stretching, and many other things, but a couple of muscles in my upper back would just knot up with any stress, physical or emotional, and the pain was nearly constant. I used this for about a half hour on all of my muscles with the first use, and the effects were immediate and profound. Pain relief was instant, and occasional use for a couple of minutes to the affected areas has been able to maintain that relief. I loved it so much, I bought one for my brother, who says it is helping him tremendously, as well. I have charged my massager twice in the last two months, battery life is excellent!" —Patty S.

    Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (also available with a heated attachment).

    7. And a heated foot massager because can you think of anything more glorious than the dual feeling of your feet being toasty AND kneaded?! 

    model using the heated foot massager
    Amazon

    The detachable foot sleeves can be thrown into the wash to keep things from getting too smelly, and there are three kneading and squeezing intensity levels to choose from.

    Promising review: "This is an incredible machine for foot pain. It ranges in pressure from 'firm, relaxing massage' to deep kneading. I have issues with my feet and a lot of pain as a result, so I use the medium setting with heat for 15 minutes and then the high setting with heat for 15 minutes. Best 30 minutes of my day. The pressure can be intense at times on the high setting, however, it is exactly what my feet need. Very impressed." —veber

    Get it from Amazon for $111.99+ (available in two colors and with or without a remote). 

    8. An ultra-supportive neck pillow to make the whole falling asleep while sitting upright position while traveling thing possible (and comfy). Is there any better way to pass the time on a plane or train than with a nice, long nap? I don't think so. 

    reviewer sleeping on plane while wearing the pillow

    It also easily attaches to backpacks and luggage handles, weighs less than half a pound, and is machine washable!

    Promising review: "I am a terrible flyer who recently took the red-eye from Dubai to Chicago (15 hours). The Trtl Pillow was a mini lifesaver! I was able to comfortably rest my head on the support and felt warm enough to actually doze off...a rare accomplishment for this skittish flyer. The Velcro works wonderfully with regards to adjustment, and I liked wrapping the fabric around my mouth and nose. Sort of felt cozy...even if I did look like a ninja in a neck brace! Overall, this product has changed the way that I fly, and I am so thankful for this invention and the opportunity to support a small company with big ideas." —S.Viruly

    Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (available in four colors).

    9. A pair of fuzzy cross-band slippers you'll never wanna take off and we can't say we blame you. Just look at how comfy these babies look.

    reviewer wearing the gray fuzzy slippers
    model wearing the slippers in the hot pink color

    Promising review: "These slippers are amazing! Discovered them on TikTok and went back and forth about ordering them but wow, they are so comfortable. I have barely taken them off since receiving them. They are so fluffy and stay on my feet surprisingly well when walking around the house. Can’t wait until more colors are in stock to get another pair." —MSumm

    Get them from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–10 and 14 colors).

    10. birthdate candle that truly makes for a perfect treat yourself prezzie if your favorite holiday is the one that's all about YOU! Where are my fellow July 1st friends at?!

    five birthdate candles arranged on a table with gift wrapping
    Birthdate Co.

    Birthdate Co. is a small biz that, in addition to their popular birthdate candles, also makes birthdate books designed to help you discover more about your personality. 

    Promising review: "I love this candle so much! I want to get one for every single person I know. The scent is incredible, and the personalized information about that birthdate is so interesting and fun to read. I’m obsessed with birthdays and the zodiac so this is the PERFECT gift in my eyes! Thanks so much for an amazing product." —Bailey E.

    Get it from Birthdate Co. for $44.99 (there's one for every day of the year). 

    11. A high-quality Our Place pan designed to replace 10, that's right, 10 pieces of cookware — this thing braises, sears, steams, strains, sautes, fries, boils, bakes, serves, and stores all in one. It also comes with a spatula AND it's ridiculously easy to clean.

    Promising review: "Love my new Always Pan. Heats and cooks evenly, it's the perfect size, very versatile, and cleans up like a breeze! Couldn't be happier with my purchase." —Wendy H.

    Get it from Our Place for $95+ (available in 11 colors and 3 sizes).

    12. Plus, a Lodge Dutch oven capable of broiling, braising, roasting, and baking all sorts of delicious goodness. It is the season of soup, cozy baked goods, and comfort meals, after all!

    Promising review: "I've used many Le Creuset pans and had great results with almost all. I was getting ready to replace a 4.5-quart Dutch oven after 20+ years of regular use because the enamel was starting to wear thin, creating a hot spot that scorched the food, when I found the Lodge enameled cast iron. I was skeptical, but gave it a try and so far — only a month or two — it's every bit as good as the Le Creuset, and cost about a third as much." —Rootlesscosmo

    Get it from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in 14 colors).

    13. A Waterpik that'll make you *gasp* actually enjoy flossing. It features 10 pressure settings and comes with seven flossing tips and only takes 90 seconds to use each day. It's the gift that you and your pearly whites truly deserve.

    model using the black Waterpik flosser
    Amazon

    Promising review: "I'm a dental hygienist and have known about the research with the Waterpik for years, and have seen how effective it is when recommending it to patients, but I just bought this for myself and I love it. When used for three seconds straight in between teeth, this product has been proven to be just as effective as floss while also flushing out any food debris or other irritants from below the gums and massaging them as well. You have to use the Waterpik and experience how well your gums feel afterward to believe it. Do yourself a favor and buy this product, whether you have severe periodontal problems or are perfectly healthy. The attachments that come with this make it perfect for anyone to use. It may get a little messy, but it's well worth investing in and getting a little wet while using to get the benefits this product has to offer. Another trick is to put mouthwash in the water reservoir and use it, diluted or not, to really get it below the gum, which normal swishing won't do. Throw in an electric brush and you have the perfect combination for a happy, healthy mouth." —Johnnybombplate

    Get it from Amazon for $68.42+ (available in four colors).

    14. Glossier Balm Dotcom — a lip balm to help make your lips feel nourished and smooth. Reviewers especially love this product for the fact that it stays on for hours, even when you're eating/drinking.

    This is hypoallergenic, cruelty-free, dermatologist-tested, and boasts long-lasting moisture!

    Promising review: "Amazing! I got it for myself for Christmas. It smells wonderful! It feels so nice in my lips and it gives the perfect golden and subtle tint. It was so good that when my friends tried it, they immediately went to buy it. Would 100% rebuy." —Maia

    Get it from Glossier for $14 (available in nine scents).

    15. And an exfoliating lip brush your dry lips are gonna be oh so thankful you purchased. Use this before applying your favorite lip balm and you may just notice it absorbs faster (and works better).

    Promising review: "Game changer. Way better than my previous method of fingers then a washcloth. This scrubs away all the dry lippy skin, especially in the winter months, so that your balm can really penetrate and make your lips super moisturized and soft." —Travis Reese

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two colors).

    16. Hydro Flask to keep your cold drinks cold and your hot drinks hot for hours — ya know, the way you intended.

    Promising review: "I went on a 3,600-mile solo motorcycle trip in late August from LA to Denver, 120-degree heat. Filled the flask up with ice and water. Every two hours I'd stop and soak my neck cooling scarf with ice cold water and pour some on my head and back. Keep on riding. The ice stayed frozen for hours, if not the whole day. Very easy to fill with ice and water. Pretty sure it will be great to bring a bunch of hot tea in on winter days. My other Hydro Flask keeps coffee boiling hot all day." —Yury Sakovich

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in 4 sizes and 16 colors). 

    17. An Instant Pot Duo Crisp that combines the speed of a classic Instant Pot pressure cooker with the wonder of an air fryer into one kitchen gadget! We love a multi-functional tool that saves us space and money!

    Amazon

    It's got air frying, roasting, baking, dehydrating, pressure cooking, slow cooking — *takes breath* — steaming, sautéeing, sterilizing, warming, rice cooking, and yogurt-making functions! 

    Promising review: "What else can you say about this product? It will replace three appliances that I use on a regular basis — rice cooker, air fryer, and pressure cooker. That's important to me because at this point kitchen space is at a premium. The packaging is great, the instructions are very clear and well written and it works very well. The first use was to make chicken bone broth using the pressure cooker feature. It worked flawlessly. Two-hour cook time. It takes 10 minutes prep, 30 minutes to cool off. Three hours later I had homemade bone broth in the refrigerator. And the whole house didn't smell for 24 hours like it would with an open pot method. Anyway, the instant pot is a huge kitchen innovation IMO. Just get one, and use it." —Josh Brainard 

    Get it from Amazon for $149.95.

    18. towel warmer you can use for more than just towels — robes, throw blankets, pajamas, sheets, pillowcases, etc. This is gonna be your new favorite toy.

    model taking a towel out of the towel warmer
    Amazon

    It fits two large bath towels at a time and you can program the heat in 15-minute intervals up to an hour.

    Promising review: "Absolutely love this warmer. I got this as a Christmas present for myself and use it every time I shower. It is definitely worth the price. I usually put clothing inside first, unravel a towel and place it in next, then turn the warmer on before I shower. In 15–20 minutes, the towel is HOT. If you’re contemplating purchasing this warmer, do yourself a favor and submit your payment ASAP!" —Brittvny Thomvs

    Get it from Amazon for $119.99.

    19. scalp shampoo brush that'll not only aid in giving you a deeper clean when shampooing your hair, but can also help relax your scalp.

    Seen

    Promising review: "This is the best scalp massager out there. I bought multiple! I keep one in every shower, one at my desk, one by my bed, and even my dogs have one. Combined with your scalp serum, it is a dream come true. My scalp feels calm and healthy, no itchiness, no flakiness and no buildup! Not only is it good for the scalp, it’s so relaxing!! Having a stressful moment? Take a couple of minutes for a scalp massage, and just like that, all is right with the world!" —Amanda E.

    Get it from Seen for $18.

    20. A puffy but ultra-portable blanket to bring along for camping trips, hiking adventures, and beach days. Plus, it's water-resistant and machine washable if you're prone to spillage or the clouds decide to open up.

    Promising review: "Best everywhere blanket. Super lightweight but deliciously warm.

Super soft and dog hair and water resistant. The perfect blanket for our RV camping adventures." —D.C. Rivera

    Get it from Amazon for $81.25+ (available in 33 designs).

    21. milk frother so you can enjoy a luxurious homemade bevvy with just the push of a button. It's a heck of a lot better than getting in your car, waiting in line at a coffee shop for a million-dollar concoction.

    Promising review: "Best frother that I've ever used...very comfortable to use and powerful, too. Got this to replace another branded one that zonked out on me after only a couple of months. Love love this frother. I use it to 'blend' my morning coffee with coconut oil. This frother is more powerful than my last. The stand is a nice little bonus to keep the frother off the table and from rolling off the counter. The handle is very comfortable to hold. The back (if the label is facing you), has an index finger rest. I highly recommend this frother." —N Duong

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 45 colors).

    22. And a cold brew coffee maker for enjoying a yummy iced coffee treat whenever your heart desires one.

    Promising review: "I love this cold brew system. I did have an expensive Pampered Chef system, but broke the pot. I bought this system as a replacement, and I like it much better. The coffee is great, and I have had zero problems with loose coffee grounds, even when I use bagged ground coffee instead of coarsely ground coffee, as is suggested." —Erin

    Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors).

    23. A hardwood tortilla press guaranteed to give your next Taco Tuesday a serious upgrade. Homemade tortillas over store-bought? Absolutely, yes!!!

    Central Coast Woodworks is a small biz based in Orcutt, California, that makes tortilla presses you'll want to keep out on your counter at all times just so you can admire them. Keep in mind that the tortilla press is meant for making corn tortillas, not flour ones.

    Promising review: "I’ve been watching the Mexican cooking class on MasterClass and after the lesson on tortillas, I knew I wanted to try to make my own. I’d read you can use two cutting boards, so I tried that first, and while it worked, it definitely wasn’t quick and easy. So I looked online to see what I could find. In the class, she uses a wooden press, so I knew what I wanted, but I did look at the cast iron ones as well. The reviews on the cast iron presses would have comments about the handle breaking off or other issues with the press, so I decided to look for something I’d enjoy using and that would look nice on my countertop. I knew I wanted this one as soon as I saw it, and the reviews just confirmed it. I could hardly wait during the week it took to receive my order, but it definitely was worth the wait. We’ve used this every day since receiving it and absolutely love the results. The tortillas come out perfect every time." —T. Bramhall

    Get it from Central Coast Woodworks on Amazon Handmade for $79.99.

    24. An abstract ceramic vase for bringing a pop of fun into your home. It's unique enough that it'll stand out, but neutral enough not to stick out like a sore thumb. Leave it as is or fill it with fresh or artificial flowers. Either way, just buy it!

    Promising review: "I LOVE this snail. I mean, I knew he was gonna be cute, I was excited to get him in the mail, but the amount of joy he brings my household is ridiculous. This is one of my favorite things about my kitchen, and I have a damn cute kitchen. He isn't incredibly sturdy but he doesn't need to be, and for the price I have no qualms. He doesn't hold much soap at a time but again, he makes us so happy that we literally could not care less. I named him Frank and I smile every time I wash dishes. We even catch ourselves thanking him and saying hi to him now and then. 10/10 just buy the snail." —Amazon Customer

    Cadence is an AAPI woman-owned small business that was founded by Steph Hon with the goal of eliminating single-use travel-sized plastics. The containers are made from recycled ocean-bound plastic. 

    BuzzFeed Shopping's Abby Kass is a fan: "I recently got a set of four of these, and, wow, I love them so much. I used them on a six-day trip recently, and they were perfect. I customized the label so I knew which one was my shampoo vs. conditioner and did a general label for any other things I wanted to bring along. They do hold a surprising amount. According to the brand, they hold approximately one to two weeks of skincare products, more than two weeks' worth of serum, two to three days' worth of haircare, and more than 15 tablets (for medicine and such). And while two to three days worth of haircare might not seem like enough, I found it held more than that for me, but I also don't wash my hair every single day. They were small enough to slip right into my toiletries bag and go through TSA with no problem. The container was easy to open in the shower (even with wet hands), and I had no leakage from them (like I did from my face wash bottle that will not be making the trip with me next time. SMH). These are an incredibly useful tool anyone who travels will want in their luggage."

    Get a set of six from Cadence for $76 (available in many customizable labels and eight colors). 

    27. magnetic cloud key holder for anyone who's ever gone on a panicked, frantic search for their keys while in a rush to make it to an appointment. It's like your keys know you need to be somewhere and they're trying to play hide-and-seek with you. Sorry keys — you lose!

    Best of all, there's no installation required!

    Promising review: "So, yes, TikTok made me buy this, but so far I really like it. It's obviously very adorable and offers a charming spot to keep my keys that works with my entryway. I'm really surprised by how strong the hold is for such a small object — I carry my car fob and a few keys and so far it's holding strong. I hung it with Command strips to avoid any potential damage to the wall and I will say make sure it's level as the hold is not so good on an angle (but that was from the original in-hand testing). Definitely recommend and for the price, I'm very tempted to get one for my at-work office." —D. Carter

    Get it from Amazon for $7.68.

    28. satin pillowcase bound to make you wonder how you made it this long without this as part of your bed setup. This cooling silk case provides benefits for your hair (like reducing dryness and tangles) and skin (such as keeping your lashes and brows intact).

    Fly By Jing is an Asian woman-owned small biz that sells delicious sauces, dumplings, and spices.

    Promising review: "Ever since my sister introduced me to this life-changing condiment, I've slathered it on pretty much everything I could think of — from roasted vegetables and noodles to seafood and popcorn. It's got a kick, yes, and while I'm a big fan of spicy food, the thing I love most about this chili crisp is that it also has great flavor that doesn't get overpowered by the heat, which happens with so many other spicy sauces. That deep savory flavor comes from ingredients like fermented black bean, shallots, mushroom powder, ginger, and seaweed, so it's no wonder it's become my go-to pantry staple when I want to zhuzh up my dinner. PS: Some people even swear by it as an ice cream topping!" —Britt Ross

I’ve worn it since it came in the mail and no tarnishing or scratches so far! Great quality. The extender piece is a bit long but my wrists are smaller than average so I can’t complain.

    Promising review: "I got this blender over the summer, and wow, as someone who had firmly decided I was an "I don't need a blender" person, I quickly changed my mind after the first use. For starters, it's not as large as those super industrial-strength blenders, and it's so aesthetically pleasing that I have it out on my counter at all times. Plus, it couldn't be easier to use — just fill the bowl with your ingredients, pulse, and in a matter of ~moments~ you'll have a perfectly uniform blend of whatever you're trying to blitz. I first tried it out on a smoothie made with frozen bananas and peaches (see it in action on TikTok here!) and it pulverized the icy fruit like a champ. Best of all? It's a total breeze to clean, which, if I'm being honest, was probably the biggest factor in my having waited so long to add a blender to my kitchen arsenal. I can't recommend it enough, 15/10, no notes." —Britt Ross

    Promising review: "Fantastic product! Makes red wine more enjoyable, as the 'smoky' flavors tend to taste soapy to me (I can't be the only one here...). This was gorgeously packaged and came in two pieces to 'assemble,' if you can even call it that. The wine stopper is leak-free and the top keeps it from dripping red wine down the bottle onto your easily-stainable white countertops. Wonderful product that I'll easily be gifting to friends." —Melissa

    Promising review: "Such a simple idea, how is this just coming into my life now? I didn't think showers could get any better but now I have a brew/wine within reach at all times. Really helps take the edge off after a long day. The thing is way sturdier than you'd expect, I've tugged on it and it's not going anywhere. The slotted design allows you to use stemmed wineglasses, too. A truly perfect product. This piece of plastic is working as hard as my therapist and I stan." —Steven

    The jars are BPA-free, as well as microwave and dishwasher safe.

    BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Rachel Dunkel says: "Before working from home became the norm, I would use these handy jars to bring my lunch almost every day. They're perfect for things like fruit, salad, or something saucy — stuff you really don't want to get squished *and* want to ensure doesn't leak into your bag. *But* I have found that I use them just as much at home full-time! They are of course great for leftovers, but also for prepped ingredients for the week. Shredded cheese, prepped chicken, and chopped veggies usually live in these, ready to be utilized for a quick lunch or snack. They clean *super* well — I even have the cream color and it recovered from storing beets! 10/10 from me."

    Get them from Amazon for $25+ each (available in two sizes and seven colors).

    Promising review: "Great coverage on the first swipe! I have been searching for a good mascara for months and have had no luck. I saw this was on sale and had good reviews so figured I’d give it a try. I was really really surprised most mascaras are goopy the first time you try time and end up getting all over I didn’t have an issue with this one which was a pleasant surprise, the brush is fiber and not silicon another pulse for me, first swipe I was shocked, it covered well and made my lashes look thicker and longer, I waited a few seconds and applied one more coat and that was it! No need to keep going back over them, I haven’t tried to remove it yet but I’m very happy with it and I think my search for the perfect mascara might be over!" —Amber Borah

To learn more about this EGGcellent product, check out our Dash Rapid Egg Cooker review!

    I love cooking, I really do, but there are two very inconvenient times that my cooking laziness strikes, and that is first thing in the morning when I wake up, and at the end of the day when it's time for dinner. Thankfully, in the morning, I now have this rapid egg cooker which allows me to make soft-, medium-, or hard-boiled eggs, poached eggs, or an omelet, all without having to stand over the stove.

    It's also a great way to whip up a high protein snack during the day when you're busy with work, school, or just in the middle of a very important Netflix binge. The egg maker will let out a sound when your eggs are cooked, and then all you have to do is enjoy them!

    45. shower phone holder so you can enjoy your favorite shows and movies or sing along to the 10-minute version of All Too Well in the best acoustics spot in the house while ensuring your device stays nice and dry. 

    Promising review: "I like watching shows in the shower and, let me tell you, this thing does the trick! The adhesive works well (I cleaned the area I was going to stick it on beforehand for good measure) and the actual device is sturdy and reliable. It’s easy to open but not easy enough that it falls open. It does not muffle the sound on my phone and it is easy to see the screen, even with my shower temperature at the hottest, most foggiest degree. My only complaint is that I have to take my phone out of my phone case every time, but it’s not a hassle for me so it’s not a dealbreaker. I highly recommend!" —Terry

    Promising review: "I have yet to find another olive oil with better flavor than Brightland Co. I find myself making meals specifically just to use this lovely olive oil. It is a total game changer. Say goodbye to that nasty bitter flavor that comes with most commercial oils, and hello to an explosion of flavors, and spice. (Surprisingly spicy!)

    It comes with an extra round tray, two slate labels (with chalk), two ceramic bowls for dipping sauces, and four slicing and serving utensils.

    Promising review: "Bought the product as a present for my partner for the holidays. The charcuterie cheese board itself is great, and the ability to store the cheese knives was an excellent addition for transportation and to 'wow' people at parties. I was able to host twice with the device, and it often was able to hold around six to eight cheeses and cracker combinations reasonably well without feeling like the device is crowded. I also like how easy it was to clean, since the drawer used to store the knives can be easily removed. Finally, I enjoyed all the additional items that came with this set." —Amazon Customer
