1. An oil-absorbing face roller made using absorbent volcanic stone that'll soak up any excess oil. No time to blot at home? Toss this in your purse for instant matte skin on the go!
Promising review: "I have super oily skin and am always looking for something to help control it during the day. The linen squares are good but you have to keep them around (aka keep replacing them) and they end up in the landfill. This little contraption really works and I just rinse it at the end of the day and start over again the next. I keep one in my desk and bought a second for my purse. This is magic for my shiny skin, especially on camera in my hours of Zoom everyday." —Jennifer Helseth

2. A lil' bento container so you can have something to munch on while you're out and about. And if you don't have time to have breakfast at home, you can also pack some snacks and have them ready for you while you're on the go.

Souper Cubes is a small biz making freezing and storing freezer-friendly foods ~souper~ easy.
Promising review: "This is great. It's such an elegant solution to portion sizing, and especially freezing leftovers. I recently made a meat sauce, portioned out the leftovers, and put it in the freezer. It's so easy to remove frozen portions, then bag/vacuum pack for longer storage in the freezer. After reading reviews of similar products from other brands (with people saying their off-brand version keeps shedding dust, flimsy design, leaking, not acting like foodgrade silicone, can't put in oven, etc.), Souper Cubes is the only brand I will buy. I am so impressed, I plan to grow my collection of Souper Cubes. It deserves more than 5 stars (I've never said that about a product before)." —Therese

Promising review: "I can't believe just how pumped I am over these shoelaces! They make me wanna slip my shoes off and on just because I can! They make my shoes more comfortable than I could have ever imagined (due to the elasticity). I have them set up to just the right amount of tightness to where I can just slip my shoes on and off without having to adjust them at all (and they are plenty tight). Welcome to the 21st century!" —dm925

Promising review: “This product really deserves its 5-star review. Let's be really clear here, I HAVE 4C HAIR. No really, 4c hair. I spend so much time detangling my hair that it is ridiculous!!! I mean hours. And I have tried every trick in the book. By the time I finish one section, the other has gotten tangled again. My hair is so thick that it would take me 45 minutes to blow it dry, so I just never did it. I was able to blow dry my hair on the cool setting in 20 minutes. I am able to comb through my hair now. I am so relieved. I think I am going to start seeing some real growth now that I will not be putting off my wash days because I simply don't have the time for all that detangling. Not to mention that I was always losing a lot of hair with the detangling process. There was some hair in the brush styler but nothing compared to my usual hair loss. I love this product. The bristles are very malleable, and the bristle tips are rounded. I have read that some folks have had a problem getting their roots to dry. I had no problem at all. This product is well worth the price. I would have paid three times as much just to be able to part my hair without all of the tangles.” —king

25. A pancake batter dispenser to help make breakfast time a quicker and less messy affair. No more splattering! It even comes with a wire ball you can drop inside so you can mix your batter without having to take out and clean any appliances.
Promising review: “If you’re thinking of buying this item, DO IT! I originally purchased it because I was tired of scooping my batter with a measuring cup, dripping along the way, just to have oblong-shaped pancakes. This thing makes the perfect round cakes with no mess! I was skeptical about it holding as much batter as we usually use; enough for four people. But it was perfect when we doubled the original recipe! It has a built-in stand when you add your ingredients through the bottom and cleanup is a breeze.” —Michelle W.
