Review:“I couldn’t wait to see if these really worked. As soon as I received them I went to work sealing bags of opened chip bags. They worked! No more stale chips. They have a built in magnet, so I can keep them handy on the fridge. I am really impressed with them. No waiting time, no buttons to mess with. Just slide the protective cover away to expose the roller and run it across what you want to seal. Easy!” -Lexi

Review:This hairdryer is easily the lightest, quietest and best one over ever owned. I’ve had hairdryers for decades and none can ever compare. I’ve bought ionizers, tourmaline dryers, higher wattage, foldable travel dryers…virtually every new iteration that came along. And each one was okay, but never anything I’d rave about. Until now! This hairdryer is fabulous! I’m astonished. I promise you that you’ll love it too!" -Heather O’Dell
Review:“I literally just used it and I’m glad I bought it. I originally bought it to clean the seats of my car. I used it to clean up coffee that I forgot I had on my backpack on the side pouch and I dropped my backpack on my bed, left to shower and when I came back, I took off my backpack from my bed and noticed the huge brown stain! It clicked in my head what had happened and I rushed to get the machine!Easy to assemble and set up. I used the shown cleaner and it took off most of it. I then used a bit of Shout stain remover and used the machine again and then the stain was almost all gone!I might want to try it again later but I’m very happy with how much it removed. Good suction. I would highly recommend!” -Caroline Garcia
Review:“Bluapple-They have keeps my fruit, fresh, crisp, and longer than in the past. Recommend and we will purchase again.” -TimothyS. Clippinger
Review:“Works great! I have sensitive skin and cannot use regular razors with 5 blades because I get cuts and rashes galore! I bought this razor to dip my toes into electric razors as this was very cheap so very little risk, my mistake as this cheap little razor 🪒 is fabulous. It works so good and such a bargain. I can use 3 blade razors and have less irritation but when I use this razor I have no problems! I’d rather have no problems since the problems also resulted in me having to buy special lotion. I prefer to use it dry and my new routine is to shave before I shower or bath so I can use my sugar scrub and get out super smooth. Also you ever get fully dressed and realize you need to shave your legs or somewhere else boom so easy now you don’t even have to undress. Quick up and down and your good to go just add moisturizer! Hair does collect on top but you can just rinse right off after use. It also fits in the hand so perfectly” -Nick
Review:“This amazingly exceed my expectations. Very easy to use and in just one minute we enjoyed a delicious and healthy treat. Very easy to use and clean.” -Javiera Alvarez Leon
Review:“I can wear these all day and they do not hurt my ears. I have a small ear canal and the Airpods hurt my ears, these keep me from having to shove the AirPods so far in my ears. A lot more comfortable. This was a great buy.” -yarddawg
Review:To be honest, I thought that you had to have money to have a bidet, but this is so affordable! It is easy to install. It uses the water that flows into your toilet so it can be a bit cold, but I don’t mind it. It works well and has definitely cut back on my husbands excessive use of toilet paper. You can aim and adjust the water pressure to your liking. I couldn’t wait to use the bathroom after it was installed." -Mollie B.

Review:Went from not being able to drink wine at all to having two full 6 ounce classes with one wand! A little bit of a stuffy nose but absolutely no headache!!! Definitely worth a try." -Shannon Naughton
Review:“Very simple design but works great. Phone does not move around at all. Integrates into the cup holder and still has room to put can or bottle into the cup holder. I liked it so much. Just ordered a second one for my wife’s SUV.” -Daniel M SlaterThis car phone holder is a brilliantly unique design we haven’t seen before.

Review:“After an extreme cleaning of my closet and getting rid of 20 pairs of shoes, I bought 40 of these shoe slotz to organize my shoe collection and create some space in my closet. The shoe slotz worked great for my flats, my tennis shoes and my low and mid heels. My higher heels didn’t work, but that was because my shelves weren’t tall enough. My only complaint is that the little tab that you insert on the shoe slotz to hold the shoe in place comes out easily- see my video for clarity. Truthfully, you probably only need these on higher heeled shoes that may slide off without the tab.” - Candygirl

Review:“Bought this for a serotonin boost because it’s ridiculously cute. Little did I know how utterly functional it is. No more cracking eggs while dropping them into the pot, no more fishing them out, no more putting them back into the damp cardboard carton where they inevitably are forgotten right next to the equally neglected bag of spring mix. Just in the pot, out the pot, into the fridge where they cutely greet me every time I open the door. Gives me 5 seconds of joy every time. Highly recommend.” -Kitty M.
Review:“WOW, FINALLY!!! I have 2 dogs and have tried so many products, and others that work as well as this are tedious to clean and maintain. This works 10X better than the sticky rollers, AND the compartment holds a lot of hair.” -Derek D
Review:“This product has helped my family tremendously….mostly used for migraines and occasional sinus pressure issues. It feels amazing and really does help. It freezes pretty quick, but the only negative is it warms up fairly quickly too. Because of this I actually ordered more than one to alternate back & forth. I highly recommend for the migraine sufferer.” -Amanda
Review:“These things are so helpful! I use them all the time. They hold a lot of bags and it is so comfortable in your hands! Fewer trips from the car to inside the house with grocery bags is a big help to me!” -LoveJoyLove
Review:“This device is ingenious! Wished I’d known this product exist sooner. I use arm & hammer toothpaste which still comes in the standard small cap so having it prompt up behind the bathRoom cabinet was impossible. Now, problem solved. It’s a small invention that made a positive impact. I thank the person who thought of it.” -Jl33NYC
Review:“It stays on ceiling of microwave until you need it..no more taking it out and putting it back in when you don’t need it. One less annoying little task if you use your microwave all the time. I really like this item.” -S. Straiges
Review:“More reading and less social media… what a great way to make sure of that!” -Karen Owens
Review:“After seeing an ad on Instagram, I can searching on Amazon and found a 6 pack option. I am SO glad I bought it. Anything WITH A SCREW ON top got the treatment. The 6 pack option gives you a better range of bottle adapters and washers. Plus you can contact the company to order more of the adapter type you use AND special sizes for certain brands. From liquid hand soaps to body lotions and boutique lotions, you’re going to get the most of your product.” -CAC Jill of All Trades
Review:“This seemingly silly little gadget has turned out to be great! The light level (brightness) can be dimmed down if desired, and the color can be set to whatever you want, but the bottom line is that you don’t need to turn on a bright overhead light (which wakes me up and makes me angry, not a good combination) when you need to go into the bathroom at night. And here’s a bonus: when we travel, we find that it’s rare to have a night light in the bathroom in most hotels. Since we can’t navigate the new space at night as well as at home, having this little gidgy in there makes life a great deal easier in a strange new place. Cleaning it is a breeze, too; what seems like it’s going to be a problem … isn’t. I can’t recommend this Toilet Night Light highly enough, and I’m not ashamed to admit it. Could be on the gift list this December….” -Wandergurrlee
Review:“Easy to spray, always ready for use!” -Sami
