    Promising review: "This pillowcase is a 'national treasure.' If you have this beauty in your 'arsenal' you will be envy of all your friends but don't let this get 'stolen' or you will feel 'left behind' 'knowing' you have 'a score to settle' and a drive to 'kick ass.'

    Promising review: "Got this on a whim because my girlfriend wanted to paint the dog's nails. The polish went on easily and stayed on. We were cutting the grass and the dog went out and played in the fresh-cut grass, running around, and it's still on! A little scuffed but still pretty much solidly on. So far two days have gone by and it's still on. We're going to get more colors." —Diaztortillas

    Promising review: “These molds worked perfectly! I filled them with puréed berries and they took the shape of the mold excellently. It was very easy to peel off the silicone mold so the ice pop did not lose any shape or detail. I rinsed the mold with hot water and tossed in in the top rack of the dishwasher to wash.” —Finest018

My son and I love watching them so close. I HIGHLY recommend this feeder. I'd also add that the customer support team emailed a few days after I received the feeder to see if I was happy — I had not yet met my baby cardinals. I received an immediate response with tips to draw birds and it worked." —Jillian1973

    Promising review: "I saw one of these in action at a friend's house like five years ago and thought it was just a made up memory, because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems wild. But when I saw a TikTok about it I immediately went to Amazon and bought it. Literally this was the BEST decision of my life. I cannot believe still how amazing this thing is! It makes the creamiest, best-tasting fruit ice cream ever. It’s easy to take apart and clean, and super easy to use." —DMCKAY

    23. A carton of popcorn seasoning salt so your at-home movie night snack rivals that of your local movie theater.

    BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord only has good things to say about this:

    "Our family recently unearthed this because beloved To All The Boys I've Loved Before author Jenny Han mentioned that it was her secret to delicious popcorn, and it may have just wrecked me for other at-home popcorn for the rest of my life. It genuinely tastes just as salty and buttery and savory as fresh movie theater popcorn. I inhaled it so fast that every single one of my organs lit up in mild alarm." 

    Promising review: “This is what you want. You came here for movie theater salt. This is the real deal. Get it. Your life will be better.” —Clete R. Blackwell

    Promising review: “These bath bombs are amazing. The scent is so relaxing and your skin will hang on to the amazing scent until your next bath. I’m very sensitive to artificial scents, have worked as a massage therapist doing aromatherapy, and am extremely picky about what I allow in the tub with my epsom baths. According to my buying history, I’ve purchased this set eight times so far this year. Trust me you’ll love it.” —M. Jafari 

    Get it from Amazon for $27.49.

    26. A Star Wars light saber chopsticks set to feel like a Jedi master during your next sushi meal! You can easily turn the lights on or off with the push of a button.

    Promising reviews: "I love these things! I took them to our local sushi spot and the whole restaurant (even the chefs and staff) lost their minds and immediately ordered their own!" —Curt_32

    "I cannot stress enough how awesome these lightsaber chopsticks are!! I got them as a silly gift for my fiancé who loves Star Wars and, to our surprise, you can actually eat quite easily with them! They don’t have any grips on the end so they aren’t great for smaller things (like rice) but everything else was a breeze. 11/10 recommend!!" —Catherine

    Get it from Amazon for $19.97.

    27. A realistic shrimp-shaped neck pillow so cozy you won't be ashamed to take it on flights, trips to the movie theater, or anywhere else your neck might just need a little seafaring support.

    Promising review: “This pillow changed my life. Birthday for someone you're in love with? Wanna show your teacher you appreciate them? Does your hairdresser give you solid looks for solid prices and you need a Christmas gift for them? Does your neck need support when you're playing scary video games in the dark at 2 a.m. when you should be studying for finals? This shrimp neck pillow was the answer to all those questions. It's so comfortable. It's so fashionable. It's so iconic. No one will ever disrespect you with this on your neck. If you have doubts, take my word for it. This pillow is where it's at.” —McHOOT 

    Get it from Amazon for $15.99.

    28. And a contoured sleep mask because you deserve to comfortably sleep at the end of the day. And since it's made of memory foam, this soft mask won't put any pressure on your eyes as you drift off.

    Promising review: "I love everything about this product. I have tried others but the comfort and complete light blockage of this brand make them my first choice. They are very well constructed and because of that fact, they don’t touch your eye at all. The elasticized band holds well and can be adjusted so it doesn’t disturb your 'hairdo'! I highly recommend this mask!" —june
