Promising review: "For background: I do not have hairstyling experience, neither have I blow-dried my hair, and my hair looks like I went to the hair salon. Like many people, I read the comments before buying, however after trying it, the comments honestly don’t give this product enough justice. I have curly hair and I’ve seen professionals mess up when blow drying my hair, but with this product, I was shocked!" —Elizabet

Promising review: "This is part of the Lego Ideas line — user submitted builds that Lego will consider selling if enough people vote for it. I was very happy to see this one recently make it to the marketplace and had to get it. It is really an unusual set and looks great on display. The ship itself is rather small for a set of this price, but of course, the real point is the look with the stand and bottle — which is every bit as awesome as you would expect. My pre-teen and teen Lego fans in our family all give this one high marks!" —TOPJOB7

Promising review: "This bag has definitely exceeded my expectations. It’s far more spacious than the photos do justice and it’s super convenient to slip it over the handle of my suitcase to roll as one. Also, as a person that travels frequently and hates to check bags, this has solved that problem for me on longer trips because every airline allows you one carry-on (suitcase) and one personal item (which used to be a book bag for me and I’ve now replaced it with this Calpak)! I can fit my dopp kit, a pair of shoes, one outfit, my laptop(!!), and other miscellaneous items. It’s been an unexpected game changer for my travels when I bought it only expecting to be used once!" —TAYLORK

Promising review: "Aside from being absolutely beautiful, this is the quickest cup of delicious coffee I have ever made. It goes directly on the stove top. It's a great ritual each morning." —Jehan
Get it from World Market for $34.99.
This set contains ten, single-estate teas from around the world. Each tube has enough leaves to brew a six to eight–cup pot, as well has an informative book full of background information and brewing tips.
Promising review: "I received this set as a Hanukkah gift from my parents, and so far, it has been a real delight. Each tube comes full of a different type of tea, unique in its characteristics, and not ones that I would normally have picked out for myself. With the help of the guide book, I have prepared several pots of the most delicious tea for myself and my roommates (because as everyone knows, tea is best when shared). Each tube contains enough tea for more than one (small-ish) pot, so I look forward to experiencing each one again. In all, I would heartily recommend this product to anyone looking for a lovely, relaxing, and heartwarming experience or gift." —thesongfactory

Promising review: "Great big heavy hardcovers with nice strong bindings and beautiful full-color illustrations everywhere you care to look. I'm SO glad to have the first three books in a beautiful boxed set like this! My 5-year-old granddaughter and I are gearing up to listen to the first book via Audible, and we plan to follow along with these. It's nice to see such care to the design and production of a quality hardcover gift set. I don't care how many versions of Harry Potter you own. You want/need this one, too." —Reviewer

My favorite is the Pumpkin Enzyme mask, and the Gold one is great for applying right before makeup. Especially awesome for a night on the town. These all will get their fair share of use!" —blackbimmer

Promising review: "I ordered this sweatshirt in black for a Christmas present for my 19-year-old son. It is his favorite sweatshirt (and that is saying a lot, for a college kid that wears sweatshirts every day!). He loves the softness, the fit, the logo, and the hidden pockets to secure items. He just showed me the off-white, which will be his next purchase! I am very impressed with how it has washed up, too!" —Jillypooh

Download the app that connects the bracelets, and tap your bracelet to send a message to your loved one. Theirs will light up and vibrate, so they'll know you're thinking about them. You can send up to 10 taps in one message. Plus, these bands are waterproof, so you can even wear them while swimming or in the shower.
Promising review: "My boyfriend and I aren't in an LDR, but we both suffer from anxiety and let me tell you, these bracelets were practically made for our relationship! I get very busy, I don't really use my phone so I don't text a lot. The bracelets really help in those moments when I don't want to text, or when I really need his hugs and support. It's the closest thing I have to feeling his touch. He's going to Peru soon, so for a while we will be LDR! These bracelets will definitely be a lifesaver when that happens." —KittyKen

Promising review: "I love these earrings! I originally purchased the crystal to be able to wear with multiple outfits, but I caved and also purchased the multi-color pair as well. These earrings will dress up any outfit! I've paired them with a V-neck and jeans, as well as my LBD, and they look fabulous either way! If you're thinking about purchasing, you definitely should, you won't regret it." —Societygrl33

Promising review: "Omg — this set is a lifesaver. Gel cleanser makes skin feel soft and supple, moisturizer is the perfect consistency (not too greasy or thick), and the lip balm is probably the best I’ve used!!! I have combo skin, leaning toward oily, and this stuff makes my skin look and feel amazing. Love it!" —Kels

Promising review: "Like most of us, I’ve had many different types of slippers, almost all of which I liked. But I no longer want my feet in 'sweat boxes' that I constantly have to kick off to cool my feet down. I want a comfy, casual, cool-looking slipper that not only keeps my feet warm, but are comfortable to wear around the house with a decent support. And this pair of Acorns fits that bill and then some. I can go to the mail box, walk around the yard, vacuum the floors, and never do my feet overheat. They’re soft yet sturdy, and have a similar look to deck shoes. They’re very comfortable. Looks like I’m going to want another pair soon, they’re so pretty I just love them." —MonaD
Get them from Amazon for $25.13+ (available in sizes 5–12 and 17 colors/patterns).
Promising review: "This was a Christmas gift for our cat. He really had no cat tree because they’re ugly; just a cube with a scratcher and two play balls. I saw that he used the scratch pad (yay) made of jute or sisal. Hopefully, that will keep him from scratching the new couches. Also, it is a tall stand, so he spends a lot of time on it. I am just very happy he is using it. The light gray color goes well with our decor. Best of all, it folds up. Space saver." —NicoyitaMSN

Just connect a smart phone or tablet via Wi-Fi to print out digital pictures. The printer doesn't use any ink cartridges — instead, the 2x3ʺ sticky peel-back ZINK paper (that have dye crystals embedded in them) will be activated and create colorful pictures. They're water-resistant, tear-resistant, smudge-proof, and dry to the touch.
Promising review: "After struggling to find a birthday gift for my girlfriend as she is a minimalist and has everything she needs, I came across this and knew it would be perfect! The size is convenient and makes it easy to bring with you anywhere. It's very simple to use and the picture quality is impressive. Ordering another one for myself and my mother! Would definitely recommend, especially for anyone who scrapbooks or journals." —Amazon Customer

It has 10 pressure settings, seven water flossing tips, and 90 seconds of water capacity.
Promising review: "I love this product. It makes your mouth feel so clean. After using it for several weeks, I noticed several things: no more bad breath, no more bad taste in my mouth, my gums are much healthier, no more bleeding, and my teeth are less sensitive at the gum line. This is, by far, one of the best buys I've made this year.
This Waterpik has two settings and variable pressure, which is great. The pressure setting goes from very light to heavy pressure on a scale of 1–10. Start out on mild setting and work up to a level of comfort. It has a gum massage setting that is wonderful for sore gums or for a person who grinds their teeth. It's very soothing. There are a variety of tips, such as for plaque or deep pockets, which are worth looking at and buying if they fit your needs.
I highly recommend for folks with a lot of crowns, receding gum lines, pockets, or if you are not great at flossing due to bleeding or teeth so close that it's difficult to floss.
It is a good size so storing it is a problem in my very small bathroom, but I don't care. Other issues — well, there is a learning curve in using it. Everyone I have talked to, who has one, has asked me if I have shot water across the bathroom and the answer is yes. My cat flees the bathroom as soon as I turn on the Waterpik now. So use only warm water until you get the hang of it.
I wholeheartedly recommend this product. I like it so much that I'm buying the portable one for travel, and it's on my Christmas list for family and friends." —JS

Promising review: "This thing is SLEEK! I bought this for my new home's main floor guest bath. We wanted to provide guests with the convenience of 'squat pot' without the eyesore of the white 7" one. I feel like if Kim and Kanye had a Squatty Potty, it would be this one. I find it's shaped SLIGHTLY different than my white 7" one, and I like that. I also find no squeaking noise as I pull or push it from the basin of the toilet, unlike my white one. My guests didn't notice it was there until I pointed it out. Go with the ghost acrylic, you won't regret it!" —Durga D

It can charge the iPhone 7 almost seven times, the Galaxy S6 five times, or the iPad mini 4 twice.
Promising review: "I've had the PowerCore 20100 for a couple of months now, and I love it! It is a wonderful, portable charger that even inspired my wife to pick up an Anker charger. I've charged both my wife's and my iPhone X simultaneously, was able to get a pretty good charge on an iPad Pro, charged my Apple Watch, and even my Bose QuietComfort headphones (obviously, not all at the same time, there are only two ports). The two ports are very convenient, especially when I have to carry my personal cell phone as well as a cell phone for work." —Joshua N Nichols

Promising review: "I am thrilled to have found this. I needed a replacement for a very expensive Kate Spade bag that I finally got fed up with for various reasons. This is just what you want in a bag! It's a roomy tote with a top zipper to keep things private (something I needed), and it looks so much more expensive than it is." —Amazon Customer

It's top-rack dishwasher-safe.
Promising review: "This aerator works well, does not take up too much space, is not fragile, and is easy to clean. The screen filters out sediment or that occasional piece of cork. It's also very good for an inexpensive weeknight bottle of red. We think it makes a $10 bottle of wine taste like a $15 bottle and so on..." —SuSu2

Promising review: "The product is exactly what it said it would be, the price is excellent (especially since you get two), they arrived properly packaged (in a tube), and it was delivered within a few days of ordering. These are Christmas presents for my kids and I am 100% pleased. I, of course, messed up only four names in, so good thing I had an extra. This means I can use the messed up one as a tester for colors and different pens to see exactly what I want. I have experienced no bleeding of ink at all! Anyway, if this is something you are interested in, I highly recommend!" —Mel Kass

Several BuzzFeeders have personally tested out this subscription and love it! Read our full review of Atlas Coffee Club!
Here's an excerpt: "The coffee itself was phenomenal! The amazing smell hits you as soon as you open the box. My roommates and I have varying levels of snobbery when it comes to coffee. For example, I'm cool with some Dunkin' Donuts iced coffee, but one of my roommates only buys his coffee from a fancy beanery in Williamsburg. Despite our different palates, we all loved and raved about Atlas's coffee. We used an electric grinder and tried making it with both a normal coffee maker and a French press. The Colombian coffee was very smooth and chocolatey, with an almost creamy texture even when taken black. The Peruvian coffee was more bitter and fruity, but also exceptional.
I think this is a great purchase for coffee fans and an even better gift thanks to the level of personal care put into each package. I feel like lots of subscription services are a rip-off, but this one definitely is worth it!" —Rebecca O'Connell

Promising review: "I have a $120 faux-fur throw, and this one is so much better! I was concerned the lining would be rough, but it is super soft. It is luxurious (better than the picture) and so soft and cuddly. It is super thick but not heavy. I accidentally ordered two and am keeping both. Love this product." —K Shopper

Promising review: "These are my first set of alcohol-based markers, the chisel tip actually offers me more control than a brush tip does; the fine tip is great for details, smaller areas, and blending. If you're looking for a good starter set to get your feet wet with alcohol markers, these are a fantastic buy. The colors are wonderful, you can build intensity with them or use a lighter hand for a more muted look. All in all, totally worth the money!" —Nala

This yoga mat is made through non-toxic, emissions-free manufacturing. It's 100% latex-free. Manduka offers a lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects. If the product wears out from regular use under normal conditions, they will replace the product, regardless of where it was purchased!
Promising review: "Immediately loved this mat when I pulled it out of its wrapper. I'm currently training to become a yoga teacher and decided it was time to buy myself a mat that didn't come from TJ Maxx. I had no idea how impactful a mat could be on my practice. I can hold poses longer, my hands and feet don't slip or slide in poses, and my joints are comfortable when I place them on the mat for poses (typically my knees will hurt a lot with other yoga mats when putting pressure on them on the mat, so it's refreshing that this mat doesn't feel ultra squishy to the touch but still has the easiness on my joints that a super squishy mat would have). Because the mat doesn't have a thick padded layer, it rolls up really well and doesn't curl on the ends, it also grounds you better so you feel more stable in balancing poses; There's a springiness that keeps it cushy, though. It does smell a little initially, it's a typical natural rubber smell, but it does go away if you leave it outside to air out. Awesome mat and totally worth the money!" —Jayme

Sous vide, which means “under vacuum” in French, refers to the process of vacuum-sealing food in a bag, then cooking it to a very precise temperature in a water bath. This method ensures maximum tenderness and moisture retention — without worry of overcooking.
Promising review: "I like the simplicity of this thing. It doesn't connect to a phone, and it only has half degree adjustments. Do you need those things though? It does take a bit longer to reach the desired temperature, particularly anything over 165°F, but it holds the temp once it gets there. I've cooked corned beef for 42 hours, flatiron steak for 24 hours, strips for two hours without a hiccup. Individual cheesecakes, Starbucks egg-bite knockoffs, sealing mason jars, the best asparagus you've ever had. Everything I've thrown at this thing has impressed me so far." —Mike R.

The charging case and earbuds have a combined 24 hours of battery life. When fully charged, the earbuds are capable of 6.5 hours of use. There's even a quick charge function that gives you three hours of use with only 15 minutes of charging time.
Promising review: "I am in the Esports industry, so I've tried my fair share of headphones and earbuds — and these are not only comfy, but they are also some of the best quality earbuds (let alone the fact that they are wireless) that I've ever worn/used.
The battery life is insane and on top of that, the charging case gives me a full-day security of being able to listen non-stop to music/phone calls without having to worry that they'll die. I've tested the 15-minute fast charge and it works incredible. I am beyond impressed.
The music quality is top-notch and the volume is so impressive that I couldn't even get it to full volume. I also love that I can use them ONE earbud at a time. This means I can have more comfortable listening options and more accessible phone calls.
Already planning on buying these for Christmas gifts, I would recommend to everyone." —Don Goode

The fabric is the perfect weight for year-round comfort if one is more cold-natured as I am. The color is exactly as depicted in the photo. If you like your pajamas on the loose side, I would buy them in the size you think you need. If you like them to fit more true to size, I would buy a size down from your normal size." —dawn jordan

Promising review: "I had no idea I'd love Alexa so much — I wake up in the morning and she does the routine I've set up. My husband and I played Skills trivia games for hours last night. If we had kids, it would be even more useful (kid's workouts, stories, games) — we even had a goodnight story read to us by Alexa, and it was awesome. I'm really loving it. The Echo Dot itself is pretty great — the sound quality is pretty good, the bass, when turned up, is not that great, but if you really want to rock out, you can connect it to other speakers or just use something else instead. I'm really surprised by how much I like the Alexa app (and the Echo Dot), because I'm a little resistant to technology, but it's pretty easy to figure out and feels like a new little buddy in the home. I'm excited to get some smart-home stuff now so I can turn on/off lights, heat, etc. The only tiny issue I have is that for some reason Alexa doesn't pick up my husband's voice as much as it does mine — maybe because I've used it more? Really cool, though, overall. I feel like Judy Jetson!" —Leah

I’ve bought this as a gift for parents and friends. The novelty of it is a lot of fun! Easy to load and start using right away. It’ll give you the lo-fi, saturated, vintage look people try to accomplish through filters on Instagram at the click of a button. Polaroid has even brought back their one-step design but for the price, Instax is the way to go." —Evahnsan

It has two Velcro straps that can attach it to any headrest.
Promising review: "I just got my Cabeau Evolution S3 Pillow and love the straps on the back. I hate it when I fall asleep on a flight and my head is bobbing around all over the place. The straps will also be nice when I have to get up on the flight so I don't have to figure out what to do with it while I'm up. It will just stay in place on my headrest. The pocket on the side is a nice size and is big enough to hold my iPhone 7 and leaves it sticking out just enough to make the earphone plug accessible." —Wayne

Promising review: "This seems like such a frivolous purchase but the product is truly exceptional. I would not have purchased based on online photos but I happened to run across one in the Free People store, and I was impressed by how heavy and thick the glass is. I am in love with it! There is a sleeve to protect the glass so I wouldn’t worry about it being too fragile. I ordered the quartz, and I’m in awe at how beautiful it is." —elliewills_908

Promising review: "Best purchase ever for the child at heart. I love everything about this. The minute I plugged it in, my childhood (the better parts of it) came sweeping in and I was five or six again. Well, I still have my first original Nintendo. But this tiny little machine is just a great tour de force given the number of games AND the ability to SAVE!!! Highly recommend this for any geek, gamer, or collector of all things tech, nerd/geek, nostalgia. Worth every penny. My only complaint is the controller cord and the power cord are really short." —ryan goimarac
