Promising review: "I was a bit cautious about buying this, but it went on sale and I figured I should. Well, I LOVE IT! I am not a super tech-savvy guy, but I had it set up and playing music within 20 minutes of it being delivered to my home. The sound is fantastic, and even though I bought it mainly for the music, I can see myself using it to ask about the weather, how far it is to the nearest Domino's pizza, and how late my local grocery stays open. If you like to listen to music and ask general questions, this is fantastic. If you are really interested, you can do all kinds of other stuff with it."

Promising review: "My older brother and I have the sort of close relationship, we always tease each other, even now that we're all grown up. So as soon as I saw this shirt, I bought it, and it was a hit! He laughed and immediately showed it off to his wife. It's made out of a nice material, and the bag it comes in is actually quite cute and funny." —Chicken&Frog

Nintendo Switch is a revolutionary gaming system. The versatility and portability of the system allow players to dive into the digital world anywhere — on the beach, on the train, under the blankets, or on lunch break. Connect the system with HDMI onto a big screen and it instantly turns into a party game hit with multiplayer options. Some of my personal favorite games are Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Overcooked, and Zelda.
Promising review: "This is, without a doubt, my favorite console ever. Play on your TV by docking it, then pick up where you left off as a handheld. IT'S THE PERFECT SYSTEM FOR BUSY ADULTS who simply don't have the time to be in front of a TV for hours anymore. Play the Switch anytime, anyplace. And mind you, these are full-on, powerful games. And the game library is MASSIVE. This is a winner!" —Daniel Navarro, Jr.

Promising review: "I got this as a surprise for my boyfriend who moved to my state from Texas. I wasn't sure about how it would smell but I figured even if he wasn't a fan it would be a neat decoration for his room. When I surprised him with the candle and he smelled it, he actually got very emotional and started crying because he said the smell instantly brought back so many memories of home. I don't know how they did it, but Homesick Candles managed to replicate the smell of home so well in this candle that it took my boyfriend back home immediately. Definitely worth my money." —Bailey K

Promising review: "I don't have words for the love of this blanket. I thought about writing a love poem to it, but that seemed a bit much. Buy it, you will discover it is the softest, warmest, coziest blanket that has ever been made. In the history of blankets, there's never been a better one. You will feel like you're sleeping in Santa's bed with this thing. It belongs in the North Pole.

These pillowcases print double-sided, which doubles the fun!

The kit includes a clip-on macro lens and a wide-angle lens!
Promising review: "I use the wide angle lens for some selfies, it gives a fish-eye type look on the borders. Photography is my hobby and using these lenses with my iPhone has made everything so much easier. With the macro lens, it's possible to get super-close to objects. You'll also get a really shallow depth of field, even better than the portrait mode of iPhone 7 plus. The lens carrying case is great, makes it easier to just throw it in my backpack. Another upside is the LifeTime warranty!" —Rehana Sadat

I personally LOVE this juicer, it's honestly one of my best purchases this year! It has a wide 3" chute to fit most fruits with ease without needing to cut them. The machine has a strong motor to power the stainless-steel micro-mesh cutter for a faster juicing process.
Promising review: "This juicer is exactly what I wanted and needed. I use it every day to make some fresh vegetable and fruit juice, and I'm having a lot of fun trying different combinations. The product provides a cleaning brush with very stiff bristles, and it is very helpful in removing the pulp from the strainer." —Becca Rose

Promising review: "I am really impressed by the quality of this bag. The bag itself is made of a really nice waxed canvas that almost feels like leather.

Promising review: "Cheryl is a fantastic writer and her ability to connect and weave her wisdom into helpful words for strangers that transcend her personally is inspiring and is of great comfort. This book breathes true stories, personal memoir, art/poetry, and practical advice that encourages one to think a little differently, and a lot more empathetically about our life and all the people in it. It's a book to revisit — it covers, if not all, most aspects of life you have encountered as well as those you did not encounter yet, but might. If you're a proud crier like me, it behooves you to have your favorite blanket and plenty of warm fluids at the ready." —Katrina

Promising review: "These bands are absolutely wonderful! Within two weeks of purchasing, I am building hips and glutes faster than with 40-50 lbs of dumbbell weight. And the best part? My knee stopped hurting! I looked at other brands and went with these because they are heavy duty and won't ride up on my thick thighs like some cheaper brands." —michelle

Promising review: “Got mine yesterday and ended up playing with it for 5 hours last night! It connects via Bluetooth so you can connect it to your phone and stream karaoke songs from YouTube (there are TONS of them) and from karaoke apps. The mic has a volume control key for your voice, background music, and echo. This would be an awesome gift for anybody, it's super fun for parties and you could easily have your own karaoke parties at home! It comes with a really nice case, a charging cable, an audio cable, and two sanitizing cloth covers.” —Ferretocious

Promising review: "This coloring book is one of my absolute favorites. The bold black lines make it easy to stay in the lines - which is still hard for me at 24 years old. Ha! The designs are really cute and make me chuckle every time I flip the page. I bought this coloring book as a gift for my sister, and I ended up loving it so much that I just HAD to have one for myself. The paper is great quality and there are tons of designs in the book from simple to detailed. I just pick one that I know I will have time for and then I get to coloring! A definite stress relief." —Valerie

Promising review: "This is not a SPACE heater this is a PERSONAL heater. I have used this exact model for 4 years now in my office for 6-8 hours a day every single weekday (I'm a cold person — sue me). This is meant to be by your side or aimed at your hands/feet. I even use this in the summer when the rest of the office has the AC set at a low temperature." —Steph

How to play: Codename is like a marriage of Taboo and Battleship — two of the best games, ever. Two teams get divided with a "spymaster" who gives a one-word hint corresponding the team color on the grid. The goal is for the team to guess the word(s) based on the one-word clue spymaster gives. First team to guess all the words win! Be careful, you don't want to guess the word that happens to be the opposing team's word, or pick the "assassin" word which leads to immediate loss.
Promising review: "Codenames really is genius in it's simplicity. It's a fantastic party game because it can be taught in under five minutes and provides a ton of fun. It has definitely been a hit in my gaming group and with my family over the holidays. It provides hours of entertainment, especially as everyone laughs over the connections that everyone makes. I cannot recommend it enough!" —Kccayson
