Promising review: "These are really cute and the tea has a great flavor — even tea snobs should be pleased with it :) They come sealed in a plastic bag inside the box. I would buy this again. The outer packaging is quite nice and sturdy, and would make a great gift." —jmp

Promising review: "Oh my gosh, this is so funny! I love this sticker and it gets a lot of attention. I only put it on the driver side of my car, as the passenger side already has the pre-engraved 'Objects in mirror are closer than they appear.' It stays on well after car washes as well. I love this sticker!!" —Mel Point

Promising review: "Fantastically fun to use. Even though these are plastic/acrylic they are no more difficult to use than the plastic chopsticks at Chinese restaurants because they are tapered like Japanese chopsticks. They are a little longer than a standard chopstick carrying case, but the fun factor offsets this. I got two pairs, one did not light up correctly. Seller replaced that chopstick within days!!!" —poidog

Promising review: "These are so cute I can’t stand it. The smaller two pins really hold my hair in place, while the larger branch is a gorgeous decoration. For a big day or elaborate updo, it’d probably be a good idea to supplement with regular bobby pins just for peace of mind. I got them in gold, but these barrettes are so fun that I’m considering getting them in every finish available. Very pretty and not at all cheap-looking, considering the very affordable price." —P. S. Crane

Promising review: "Purchased as a gift for Christmas.

Soft and well made, it's ready to travel with her around the world." —Brittany North

Promising review: "Highly recommended for married couples! We spend too much time on our phones and computers, and this helps to bring us together. Even after being married 25+ years, I loved hearing my hubby's answers to the questions. Some questions really get you thinking! I recommended it to my friends, and I think they will be getting them too!" —Judy

Promising review: "I adore Jane Austen and I just wanted a little treat to remind me of her, so I bought these. I get lots of compliments on them and they are so soft. The colors are very rich, I love that about them. These are wonderful for any Janeite looking to bring more Austen into his or her life." —Brittany & Thomas

Promising review: "I bought three of these wireless charging pads for a Samsung Galaxy Note 8, Samsung Galaxy S8, and an iPhone 8 based on the reviews. Let me tell you, I was not disappointed! The wireless charging pad worked flawlessly for all three phones and for the price it is a bargain compared to other brands. The biggest draw for me was that the simple LED light, which sits on the front the pad, is not overwhelmingly bright and does not draw attention to it. Once the phone is fully charged the light goes off so it does not constantly charge the phone for no reason. I highly recommend getting the wireless charging pad and it is well worth the asking price." —Gabby C

Promising review: "Yooooo these British people know what's up! Dat Double Decker doe 😱😱😱 But seriously, these candy bars are amazing! I had my doubts about the Picnic bar but it's really, really good. Personal favorite so far (still two I haven't eaten yet) was the Starbar. Peanut butter, caramel, rice crispy pieces, chocolate... What's not to love, really? Why the heck don't they sell these in America dammit?! I threw mine in the fridge as soon as I got them. I pull one out about a couple of minutes before I eat it, so it's still cool and doesn't melt all over the place. Works great. This chocolate really does MELT on contact with just about anything that's not refrigerated. Be forewarned, don't eat ANY of these candy bars while wearing white. But also keep it in mind when taking bites. Smaller bites are better. Otherwise, you might find yourself with a huge mouthful of semi-melted chocolate and nougat, trying not to drool. Er, that might potentially happen to someone other than me." —So & So So & So
Get it from Amazon for $14.90 (available in a bag or box). You can also get a small tub filled with snack-sized treats.
Promising review: "My absolute favorite is Kreacher's French Onion soup. I love having that on a cold day, or need to use up onions and beef broth. Absolutely delicious! Their roasted chicken recipe is the best one I've found (even better than Betty Crocker and The Joy of Cooking). The instructions are simple, and the flavor for the chicken comes out perfect every time. No trussing the bird or using a lid. I tweak the recipe a little by adding potatoes, and half a cup more water because I use slightly bigger birds and a bigger roasting pan. I really enjoy the history included about the cuisine, along with where in the book the food item was mentioned. If you are a Harry Potter-head, then this is a great addition to the collection of paraphernalia related to the world of Harry Potter. Excellent cookbook to own, and excellent as a gift if you have a friend." —MB48
Get it from Amazon for $10.95. And it might be worth adding these whimsical bamboo cooking spoons.
Promising review: "I opened the package and screamed for joy! As I placed the nine-volt battery my hands were trembling with what was going to happen next! As I turned on the wacky waving inflatable tube man I knew I had a friend for life. Someone you can really count on cheering you up when you are feeling down. He brought me such joy I started to cry with laughter and happiness." —Robert Wurstner
Get it from Amazon for $10.20. You might also want to throw in this very helpful book filled with life lessons.
Promising review: "My wonderful wife frequently uses a mandolin in the kitchen. Sometimes, I believe she thinks she's on Top Chef or Chopped. When she gets into julienning, I'm just waiting with car keys in hand to take her to the ER. So, as a proactive measure, I purchased these. They are quite comfortable. They stretch with excellent elasticity. She loves them, and I feel more comfortable that she is wearing something that can protect her. She has used these gloves dozens of times. Not a single issue, and she has washed them with the kitchen towels. No problem." —Jon

Promising review: "Best Christmas gift my dad ever received. About five years ago, my dad randomly asked if I could stop by the bookstore and see if there were any 'New York Times crossword books — but only the Mondays (because they're the easiest)!' My bookstore trip was unsuccessful, so imagine my surprise when I saw that this book DID exist! My dad, who is impossible to buy gifts for, is blowing through this book and back on his crossword game! He's already bought the Tuesday book." —Lauren

Promising review: "I usually have every sort of cable that I could possibly need when I'm at work, but I don't usually carry one on my person when I'm elsewhere. It looks sharp and isn't obviously a cable, but it's always available should you need it. It's compatible with Apple Carplay, and when plugged into a computer it will function like a default Apple cable. I am incredibly happy with it and would recommend it to anyone who might ask." —Amazon Customer

I tried it out myself before wrapping it, and it sounded amazing! The tune was so clear, and there was no damage to the music strip. The actual box itself was of good quality as well. He loved it so much! I recommend it as a gift for any fan of GoT." —Cynthia Kline

Promising reviews: "Just started using this journal after being in a bit of a funk at the start of this year. I researched so many different journals but this was the only one that I felt was simple, didn't make too many 'demands' on my time, was straightforward, and was exactly what I was looking for. It's a simple concept and I've only been doing it for a week but I find myself looking for things to be thankful for, find myself adding lines below the three provided and writing in the margins...all because I want to!" —silkeymilkey

Promising review: "I tend to shy away from spicy foods, but I couldn’t resist the opportunity to try a new condiment to liven up snacks and recipes with. I was afraid the spice would be overpowering, but it’s actually quite mellow and smooth; just the right touch of heat. So far, I’ve enjoyed this on fruit salad (banana/strawberry/blueberry) with cottage cheese and drizzled on the original Chick-fil-A sandwich....so delicious!" —Sleeps in Rain

Promising review: "I didn’t know I could love a sleep mask so much! I’ve used several over the years, but this one takes the cake. I don’t wake up until mid-morning when the sun is incredibly bright (and my bedroom has a lot of windows). This sleep mask is not only soft and comfortable, but it also blocks the light SO well! On the nose part, you can push it down along the sides of your nose, to make sure no light gets in. It is really efficient and feels so nice on my skin. Bonus: it comes with a little fabric holder where you can fold the mask, and fit it right inside! I flew last week, and it was so nice not to worry about the mask getting dirty. I can not recommend this sleep mask enough! If you aren’t convinced yet, GET IT. You won’t be disappointed." —Lyndsay Marvin
Get it from Amazon for $9.98 (available in two colors).
Promising review: "I guess I have no concept of scale — I thought I would get a bigger skillet that could fit maybe two eggs but I got this cute little thing! It is as big as the palm of my hand, but so well made. I seasoned it when I got it and I was able to cook an egg in it — but I scrambled it and I didn’t put all of it in there so I could still stir it. I think it would be perfect for drawn butter for lobster and I was really thinking I would put it on my tree as an ornament! A perfect gift, could be a spoon rest too!" —B Pawlowski

Promising review: "This is my new go-to travel wallet! It has slots for everything you need. The color is great and it's not bulky. If it had more than three credit card slots I would use it as my everyday wallet because that's how much I love it. My pen kept falling out so I would suggest using a pen that has a clip in it. The inside flap came in handy for my plane boarding passes." —Tee

Promising review: "Loved this product. So easy to use. Everything is in one — no plug with pump. It stays on and keeps the bubbles in champagne and all carbonated wines. It does not pop off or leak if you lay the bottle back on its side in the refrigerator. It's metal and very strong. Love that you just need to pump the top to take out the air. Great for picnics and BYOBs. Plus it DOES NOT LEAK!" —C. Glidden

Promising review: "Every one of these earrings is the stud type with the backing that hangs behind your earlobe. They are SUPER brilliant, color is beautiful, and they don't look cheap. I will say it takes some practice to get them in. I would buy these for a gift in a heartbeat." —Jenny

Promising review: "Bought this for my very artistic 13-year-old daughter. She's forever asking, 'What should I draw?' I crossed my fingers when I ordered this, as we've tried many other books to inspire her that didn't. When I gave it to her, I was expecting a lukewarm response. However, as she thumbed through the book, she started giggling and smiling and couldn't turn the pages fast enough. I even got a spontaneous hug. She ran to the door when her dad got home to show him the book. And I think that the 642 options may just keep her inspired for a few weeks! ;) Any book that can charm a 13-year-old girl is a keeper in my mind!" —Fascinated viewer

Promising review: "These scrunchies are awesome! They’re so soft and I was surprised at the good quality of the elastic. I wasn’t expecting much but these are definitely a step-up. I have wavy/curly hair about medium thickness, and two wraparounds was enough for a firm hold. Not too tight but also it doesn’t feel like it’s going to slip off. It also works great as a bracelet — you could literally match them with any outfit because of the variety of colors. A great value buy when stores are selling three scrunchies for the same price!" —X.E.

Promising review: "I purchased this necklace as a gift for a friend who loves dinosaurs. It was super cute and the little saying on the paper is nice too. The T-rex itself is a little small but I liked that about it because it makes it more subtle when it's worn (I tend to like nerdy jewelry that is more subtle until people really see it up close). The recipient loved it and put it on right away too. :)" —melrom
Get it from Amazon for $13 (available in silver, gold, and rose-gold-plated brass and check out the matching earrings). There are also really cute brontosaurus and triceratops versions.
Promising review: "These stickers are freaking glorious. I got it as a gift for my sister and she loves them. Now to find a place to slap all these stickers on. The stickers aren't the thickest, I believe they are two mil vinyl but they are vinyl so they will hold up over time. It doesn't seem that they are UV protected so you might run into fading down the road if used outside or on your car window, but for the price of a whole stack of stickers — it's definitely worth it. A chance to throw meme stickers in public spaces is a welcomed task at hand, *dadjokeincoming* just don't get into any sticky situations with the police." —davidbuysthings

Promising review: "These socks are so cute!! I honestly expected the design on the socks to look warped and stretched out when I put them on, but it looks great on or off my feet!

Promising review: "This is so much more than the board game you purchase. The board is just the beginning! My 10-year-old son absolutely loves this. He makes his very own video games to play and share. He likes the fact that he can create his own characters, his own levels, and tell his own story. He is on the sixth edition of one of his games and each and every game is better than the last. It encourages him to get in touch with his creative self and develop his storytelling abilities. As a parent, I don't have to monitor or limit his time because every minute engages him." —Kristen Keyser

Promising review: "We have one of these that we’ve used for over a year now but I bought another to have at a different location. It works great, there’s nothing to complain about. It’s made well and the screen doesn’t allow coffee through. It easily makes enough coffee for two standard mugs with a little left over. Also, you can take the mesh filter and metal piece at the bottom apart to wash out any stuck grounds." —Shayna

Promising review: "Two years ago I bought one for myself — best eye mask I ever had. Love, love the cool feeling and the beads that form to your face, giving you complete darkness. Then I bought some as Christmas gifts. Just recently my sister-in-law asked where I bought it — she needed another one and settling for others she found wasn't cutting it. After two years the elastic band has stretched some but I have my next one bought and waiting. Oh, and I bought my husband one this past Christmas so he would stop stealing mine." —Julie

Promising review: "I just slide it in and out of a cabinet when I needed a teabag. The product is very sturdy, it can be used with or without the feet on the bottom, you could mix it up and put two types of tea in each drawer, allowing it to hold 12 different types of tea, and it's small so it will fit in small cabinets or countertop areas. The only thing I find annoying is that a drawer will not hold an entire box of most standard types of tea (Kroger brand, Tazo, Stash) and there is no different-sized drawer for oddball-sized tea bags. Overall, though, I am very happy with my purchase. For me, it saves me a bunch of space in my cabinet and I was able to throw out all those excess tea boxes that were going everywhere." —SmartBuyer

Promising review: "I love coloring, but the whole adult-coloring-books scene was really of no interest to me. When I saw that they now make paint-by-sticker books, I was really interested in trying one out. I have an art history background so when I saw this book I bought it instantly. I have found myself getting lost in doing the works of art. It's fun to do and easy. The price is such a great deal. Beautiful colors and detail. I really hope they come out with more art masterpiece books since I am almost done with this one." —MamaUnicorn

I love that I can put the day in my purse or pocket, and I am set. As a side note, when you pull out your new pill pod you know what day it is. Lol. Mom saw mine and ordered one.

Promising review: "This oil is light and cooling, and smells great. It is not heavy like other oils, which I think is just right for medium and short beards. It goes on smooth and absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue. The base oils are high-quality essential oils in addition to the tea tree oil, which gives this its scent. I highly recommend it and I will buy again." —Howard
