Promising review: "I love this coffee table! It’s pretty easy to put together, and doesn’t take a super long time. The lift top is really nice, especially for smaller spaces. I used this to replace a desk I no longer had room for, and it’s working well so far. Looks great too." —Lauren

11. An upholstered storage bench to give your entryway extra space. Sit down to take your shoes off or read a book, and store toys, shoes and more inside.
Promising review: "We have had this for a year, and it has held up very nicely. The top has proved to be easy to wipe off when small children and their sticky/dirty fingers have left marks. The shoe holders are a decent size, even holding a men's size 14 relatively easily. The drawers are a little shallow to be super useful, but work okay for hats and gloves and the like." —Melissa
Price: $184.99 (originally $265)
12. A single tap keg that'll dispense your favorite beer without any noise or vibration. It doesn't use any CFCs or polluting coolants, so it's environmentally friendly.

Promising reviews: "I previously had a similar cheese slicer until the wire broke and was unable to replace. Great that this slicer comes with two additional slicing wires, should breakage occur again. Very handy for us as we enjoy multiple cheeses and so easy to slice. Pros: Great value, with replaceable slicing wires and marble base, easy to clean. Cons: None in my opinion." —GHC
Price: $25.99

Promising review: "I’ve used the rug pad under all of my rugs. It allows you to make minuscule corrections to get the rug in place and doesn’t shift at all. Try putting the very edge of your furniture on it or entirely for the best effect. Buy it and you will not regret it. Nothing worse than a cheap rug moving around on hardwood." —Dae

Promising review: "Perfect! My dog loves it! Its just the right density for Shiloh! He's 10 years old, 137 pounds. and has a painful back leg. This bed is dense enough to support his weight getting on and off and comfy enough for him to sleep on for long periods of time." —Jean

23. An electric fan tower heater with remote for the coldest of evenings. It rotates from side to side to warm up the room quickly, and there's an overheat protection sensor that will shut the heater off if it gets too hot. It even has an eco-friendly mode that will limit the energy it uses!
Promising review: "I got this for my bedroom in a small apartment that has a very bad heating design, so a remote was a must-have, but the other features are what makes this heater a must-buy! Optional timer and thermostat that displays the current room temp. Shut off if the heater gets too hot or is knocked over. This is the best heater I have EVER purchased and it's a lot cheaper then most of my previous purchases." —Lorraine Bragg
Price: $45.16 (originally $86.17)
24. A bookshelf wall-mounted pot rack that'll store your pots and pans without taking up counter space. Steel makes this rack durable, and you can even paint it to match your décor.
Hardware included.

Price: $72.99 (originally $99.99, available in two finishes)
25. A hand-operated and eco-friendly portable washer to clean your clothes when you're on the road. It'll clean your laundry in one to two minutes and since it's fully portable, there's no hookup required.
Promising review: "I love this washer! It is so easy to use and sturdier than it looks. I live in a small apartment and hate the coin laundry, so this little gadget is very useful. Instead of putting it on a kitchen counter, I put it in the tub. Also, I do not use the drainpipe, as it is easier to just dump the washed clothes into the tub. The rinse cycle is easy to do in the Wonder Washer. I wash T-shirts, shorts, face masks, hand towels, and lingerie with this gadget as they are easier to wring by hand." —Linda
Price: $56 (originally $59, available in four colors)
26. A toddler tower adjustable stool so the little ones in your life can easily reach the bathroom sink or the kitchen counter. It's enclosed on all four sides, so you don't have to worry about them falling out, and you can adjust the stool as they grow.

28. A wall mount toilet paper holder with a shelf to keep you from dropping your phone in the toilet. It's made of stainless steel for years of use.
29. A wall mount towel rack with a shelf for displaying and organizing your towels. Keep rolled towels in the bottom and folded towels on the top shelf. The polished chrome makes it a great choice for all bathroom styles.
30. A squirrel-proof bird feeder that'll keep the squirrels in your backyard from eating all the food. There's enough space in the steel wire cage to let smaller birds like wrens or finches inside, and you can put whatever bird seed you like inside! The steel handle makes it easy to hang it up securely.
31. A pack of four solar-powered LED pathway lights to light your path in an eco-friendly way. Great for the yard or porch stairs, and rain won't damage them.
Promising review: "We wanted to see how soon they came on after dusk, which was as soon as the sun went down. We wanted to verify how long they stayed lit into the night. We go to bed about 3 sometimes 4 a.m. and the lights were still shining brightly into the night. We wanted to see if the rain affected them and I'm happy to report NOT AT ALL! We have the lights going up our driveway on both sides. I’m going to order two more boxes to go in the front of my house for that same reason. We’ve gotten so many compliments. Beautiful finishing touch to our landscape." —Marietta
