Promising review: "These are so easy to take care of. I bought several different kinds of houseplants about two years ago, and the philodendron thrived the most, in any condition of lighting or watering that it went through. I purchased a couple more recently, and they really survive the shipping great as well. Apparently I'm terrible at gardening, judging by how many other plants I've failed with, but this is one even I can take care of." —Reuben & Leslie

Promising review: "I am at work, next to the window, and there is a LITERAL JACKHAMMER outside the window. I have these headphones in, listening to music, and I can't hear it at all. If you want that in your life, these are the earbuds for you." —megallo

Promising review: "Bought this pendant to help with nausea while undergoing chemotherapy. (Seems to be helping so far. I’ve used it with peppermint oil; planning to try ginger oil as well.) It is a beautiful piece of jewelry that I’ve been complimented on several times already. Comes with several discs for applying different essential oils or for color coordinating with different outfits. The pendant is sturdy and well-crafted. The chain length is adjustable by up to approximately two inches. Arrives beautifully packaged. I would definitely recommend." —M. Perkins

Promising review: "I originally got these for myself as pick-me-ups to deal with my depression, but I have found my coworkers enjoy them as well. I've left them anonymously for a couple of people, and they are always really appreciative. The card quality is similar to playing cards, and the colors are incredibly vibrant and beautiful!" —Heather

Promising review: "As a freelance stage manager, I am not kind to my hands. On one day, I can be responsible for office work, set construction and costume changes. After 24 hours of work, this bandage did not come up. I could wash my hands, bend my knuckle enough to type, and when I finally removed it, it left no residue behind. Shakespeare fans may be disappointed because the bandages do not have 15 different sayings, but for a product that does its job and looks nerdy, they’re amazing." —Cam and Jade

Promising review: "The best hot chocolate out there, hands down! I’ve tried so many varieties of hot chocolate mixes: Godiva, Starbucks, Swiss Miss, Cadbury, you name it.

Promising review: "This book is just pure heartwarming cuteness and fun. Who wouldn't love a little letter from their cat or any pet once in a while? This is a fun little collection with a picture of the cat, their name, their age, and topic of their letter. Then various topics of thought and motions of everyday life are given the kitty treatment and voice. I read it all in one sitting and had to share with fellow cat lovers. Just a fun, cute read to brighten the day and make you smile. A huge five stars." —Michael P. McParland
