Promising review: "I first saw this book on TikTok and decided to look more into it. I purchased four total because I know some people holding onto things that are difficult to let go of. It’s a great way to look at things from a different perspective and truly hold yourself accountable to different things in your life. I love what it stands for and I look forward to when I burn mine after I’m done. Self love, self care, and meditation for a better state of mind tomorrow is always the goal. I definitely recommend it to those susceptible to change and the willingness to try things different. You’re so much more than what’s been done to you and someone’s inability to see your worth does not decrease your value. Choose you for a change." —Brent Helm

Promising reviews: "I had tried lots of white vinegar for two cycles in my 20-year-old dishwasher for the cloudy and powdery dinginess it had started making and it only helped about 30%. We have very hard water. These tablets zapped the buildup and my glass is clear again and colored plastics no longer have the powder-like coating. So glad I took a chance on this!" —J. Holden

“I started getting white streaks all over my dishes; that never happened before. I thought it was my detergent and changed it, but no difference. Clean dishes with this weird white film on them. I'd wash them by hand, then put them back in the dishwasher, and white film again! Then I did an internet search to figure out what was going on (a dishwasher is an incredibly simple piece of machinery) and found this! Bought it. Used it. My dishes are clean again!” —Carey Holzman

Promising review: "I don’t usually write reviews of products but this one is worth it!!! I loooove it! For the price, it is the best mascara I have ever used, hands down! My lashes are short and very light-colored. This stuff lasts all day, doesn’t smudge, and is reasonably easy to remove with makeup remover. My new fave mascara for sure!!!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I bought this as a gift for my husband because he absolutely loves puzzles and magic, so it was a no-brainer! I was honestly way more excited to finish putting this puzzle together than a normal puzzle because I couldn’t wait to see the end result. Blown away. I’m super impressed and will be purchasing a different version. Oh, and they weren’t kidding about the no dust in the box...very pleased with this purchase!" —Nlbrimberry

Promising review: “I didn't even think they made these clips anymore! I haven't been able to find them in stores and didn't even think about looking online. Then I just happened upon these and I am SOOOO HAPPY!! I can twist my hair up and snap one of these babies on in seconds and BAM! Instant relief from the heat and it keeps my hair out of my face. All without giving me a tension headache like most clips and ponytail holders do.” —melanie hawkins

Promising review: "I have ADHD and dread showers due to how boring they are, plus some sensory issues (cold and wet is not my ideal state). But now I add some entertaining videos to a playlist and boom, I'm not so miserable in the shower! The case is definitely waterproof, and the sound comes through great." —Lauren

Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in seven colors).

Promising review: "I LOVE this night-light. It's in my bathroom and is a lovely addition. It turns off the second the lights go on, which is nice that I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it on. Super cute and the little itty-bitty lighting element does a good job lighting, just enough so I don't have to turn the main lights on in the middle of the night." —1Thand

And when the balls lose their stickiness, just clean them up with soap and water for them to feel like new again!

Promising review: "Bought as a gift for teen who loves to fidget with objects and has anxiety. She was excited and immediately began playing with them. We all did! Great fun for any kid or adult. They feel great and sticks to everything without marking. Be sure to slowly peel them off. Leaves no residue or sticky/oily feel on hands or surfaces." —jean

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

Get it from Amazon for $9.60.

Promising reviews: "Absolutely love this lip balm 😍 Not sticky and I have noticed a great difference in my lips ❤️🙏🏼" —StankyHeph3

Dolphin Hat is a small business whose mission is to create easy-to-learn games that are fun for the whole family!

Promising review: "Seriously, you need this game! We've played from ages 11–60+ with three to five players in many different settings. You'll laugh and laugh, guaranteed. We play this at home for family game nights, give it as gifts, and take on trips for fun evenings of hanging out. Each player will develop a unique style of playing and there will be goofy strategizing against the player who always seems to win. This inevitably ends in at least one player laughing so hard that they can't keep up and then the chain reaction starts. Always a great hit!" —SKK

Get it from Dolphin Hat on Amazon for $9.84.

Promising review: "There were some snacks that I liked, and some that I didn't. But that's OK because it was still such a treat experiencing all of these different snacks and flavors. Some personal favorites were the hollow puff-like tubes, the orange jelly, and the coffee hard candy!" —Soupy

Get a box of 30 snacks from Amazon for $21.97.

Promising review: "I have an auditory processing disorder and that makes squeak toys very difficult for me. I always had to be very careful as to what toys my good girl could have. This has solved all the problems! The only sound I can hear is the air being pushed out and she goes nuts for it! Best of both worlds! If only all dog toys were like this!" —V. F.

Get it from Amazon for $13.40.

Fizdro is a Pennsylvania-based small biz making useful pint holders, bath bombs, and keychains!

Promising review: "Everyone is talking about a fix for cold fingers? I have no problem with cold fingers. But the Fizdro keeps a pint of ice cream dramatically colder while eating. Which means I can enjoy the pint for a much longer period of time and don't have to keep up with it melting on me." —yticolev

Get it from Fizdro on Amazon for $9.95 (available in six colors).

Promising reviews: “This is definitely a 'buy again!' It goes on incredibly clean and leaves your skin supple and smooth. After applying normal makeup, it feels just incredible and looks fabulous!” —Cheryl Caroll

"Normally my makeup goes on great, but then once it dries it's super crusty and shows my pores. But this made everything so smooth and my skin has never looked so healthy." —Taylor Kessinger

Get it from Amazon for $9.

Promising review: “My cat Gambino Bambino would let you brush him bald!!! He loves to be groomed and comes running whenever the brush comes out. Though we love to accommodate, I know he wanted more. He was constantly rubbing his cheeks and ears on the corner of our walls to get even more scratching. I finally came across this product and new he would love it! It took a little convincing but once he got a hang of it he’s been loving it! We have one in the living room, one in the kitchen, one at the top of the stairs and one in the guest room! He is having a great time!!! Very easy to put together and place on the wall.” —T. Mangiaracina

Get it from Amazon for $4.99.

Promising review: "It’s so cute! I got it in flamingo pink, which my little one loves. It’s a shiny, glossy finish, beautifully and elegantly made! It’s compact, small, and portable. Very pleasant and satisfying shape aesthetically! Large power-on, volume, and pairing-up buttons on the right underside and adorable blue indicator light on the left. It’s easy to pair with a phone and a laptop by Bluetooth. The sound is incredible for such a small device! Plus the built-in mic is great for using at home or in the car. It’s very convenient to charge by using a micro USB. I’m pleased with my purchase and would recommend to my friends." —Amazon customer

Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in five colors).

Promising reviews: "Bought this as a gift for husband and he loves it. It is very comfy and warm. Worked out well for the winter months. It was worth the money, and I have already bought a couple of others in different colors." —KAGS

"I bought this in charcoal and lost it on a trip, so I bought the exact color again because I missed it so much. Now, I'm back to buy it in more colors. It is thick (because it's a watch cap), but I wear it year-round in Dallas or Chicago. It's my favorite hat. The fit is snug to the point that I can sling my head back without it falling off, and it fits over my afro or straight hair the same and doesn't lose its stretch after washing." —CE.

Get it from Blue Q on Amazon for $16.99.

Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok like everyone else but I quickly realized when I got one how helpful this is to my family. Now they don't have to guess when they shouldn't bother me, they'll just KNOW. It's saving lives and it's adorable. The perfect thing. :)" —MCalmes

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in dozens of styles).

Promising review: "So this little gadget is cute and functional. I leave him out on the counter when not cooking because it makes me laugh (anything that makes me smile while cooking is considered invaluable). Get one just for giggles or to actually cook with...you won't be sorry." —BusyMom1

Promising review: "I love these pens! I have so many different brand pens in so many different colors, but definitely found these to be amazingly versatile.

Promising review: "I love Boy Brow! I have pretty thick eyebrows but I needed something to tame them and make them stay put while also adding some uniform color and a little extra to some bare spots; this is perfect for that. It holds your eyebrows in place ALL DAY! Just the right amount of coverage and you can control how much you actually want to use. Even if you use a small amount it will hold your eyebrows with no problem!" —Glossier Customer

Get it from Glossier for $18 (available in six colors).

Promising review: "It seems counterintuitive to put a little packet down your garbage disposal to clean it, but this does actually seem to work, at least for getting out weird smells that baking soda and vinegar don't really touch. I scrub the sink down first, especially around the garbage disposal area, rinse it down, and then just follow the directions on the package. I have used it with single, large-size sinks and with double sinks — only difference is that the double sink will have blue cleaning foam rise up the drain, which you rinse away when the disposal sounds clear again. I have tried the foaming cleaner in a can, but unfortunately it stopped coming out of the can about 10% of the way through. Went back to this tried-and-true." —KS

Get a bag (good for four uses) from Amazon for $3.78.

Promising review: "Love this little spoon! It fits perfectly on the edge of my coffee mug. Now, I no longer have to go searching for a spoon to stir my morning coffee! Since it sits on the edge of the cup, my fingers don't get sticky from a wet handle. Plus, it's absolutely adorable and makes me think of my own kitty while I'm away at work. This spoon has become an essential part of my morning routine." —Brianna S

Get it from Amazon for $3.59.

Promising review: "These are so pretty and durable and perfect for long hair. I love the price for the number that you get. The quality is awesome. Usually when you go to a store you will only get one or two of these for this price. So this is a real bargain and great quality. This will be my go-to scrunchie! Great for making messy buns and they do not break your hair off because they are soft velvet." —T. Birdsong

Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $7.99.

Promising review: “I love these and my cats do too! When I gently spin one hung in front of a window (with the right lighting) my cats chase the rainbows around the room.” —Nancy O.

Get it from Amazon for $7.39.

This mug comes with a spoon!

Promising review: "I saw this while browsing, and at first I thought it was a real lens (until I saw the price). I clicked, and had to laugh because it incorporated my husband's two loves — coffee and photography! I got it for him as part of his Christmas gifts, and he loves it. The designer did an excellent job with this. It looks real at first glance, and the raised areas make it very easy to hold. We laughed when he opened it, and it has become one of his favorite mugs." —Susan

Get it from Amazon for $10.91.

It's also BPA free and air insulated so their water stays cold longer!

Promising review: "Yes, this water bottle costs a lot, but it is the best! It is very lightweight and easy to carry around. Because you can close the tip of the straw, you don't have to worry about the straw getting dirty. Because I am the type of person who needs to reminded or forced to drink water, this bottle serves the purpose. It helps me stay on track. I wish I did not spend money on other bottles and just bought this one a long time ago!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $17.99.

Get it from British Book Art on Etsy for $3.93.

Promising review: “I’ve tried other bath bombs in the past but nothing put on a show quite like these from Laguna Moon! These fizzed and spun just like the bath bombs I’d watched on YouTube. Each bomb comes individually wrapped within the package and they all managed to keep their own individual scents, which impressed me. My skin was left silky and smooth, feeling quenched after a soak in one of these bath bombs. This is definitely going to become one of my new ways to pamper myself.” —Ann Von MorningStar

Get six bath bombs from Amazon for $9.99.

Promising review: "We got a new oil tank this week in our basement. Our basement is super old and drab and I wanted to do something fun to liven it up a little. Bought these to have some fun and I don’t regret a thing. Totally worth it." —E Yaz
