Promising review: "Smells SO GOOD! This sunscreen smells so nostalgic and I love the whipped cream play. Makes me much more excited about putting sunscreen on. A little bit goes a long way, and it’s pretty thick on the skin. Breaks down into a lotion kind of and turned out to be too oily for my face specifically, but love it for my body. Will be buying this again!" —avery

Cliganic is a small business that specializes in all-natural personal care products.
Check out a TikTok of the mosquito-repelling bracelets in action.
Promising review: "I moved last year from Southern California to North Carolina. Bugs of all types have always been attracted to me but the amount of bites I got last summer was WILD. Someone gave me one of these types of bracelets to use one day and it seemed to work SOOOOOO I decided to buy myself an arsenal to prepare for this summer. I read the reviews and about 99% of them had great results. I've only used this bracelet twice but both times I was outside and un-touched. Delivery was very quick so that was a plus. I'm not fond of the smell, I'm hyper sensitive to smells, but I'd rather have the odor than being chewed alive." —Tracey Agopian

Promising review: "I love this little guy. I found him on a BuzzFeed list and had to have it as soon as I saw it! I’ve minced as many as five cloves in it in seconds. It’s a little tricky getting all of the garlic out once minced (I use a silicone basting brush to get most of it but I always use more than the recipe calls for anyway so it’s not a deal breaker). Cleanup is a breeze because he goes right in the dishwasher!" —Barbie

Promising review: "I have bought these over and over again for gifts. My own children have played with these balls repeatedly. We even left one on the ceiling to see how long it would stay for. It lasted four months before we decided to take it down. Since they are so sticky, they get dirty pretty quickly. All you have to do is a quick rinse in the sink and an air dry, then you are good to go. Great for adults and children! Will be buying again." —Valerie Young

Promising review: "I bought this to add to my collection of office fidget toys as my employees like to come in and play with the things on my desk. It gives my staff a few minutes. They come in many colors, and I may buy more colors. If you’re like me and love textures, this is the toy for you. Just remember, not for small kids." —Jurgita Tumosaite

Death Wish Coffee is a small business that specializes in coffee pods, grounds, whole beans, and more.
Promising review: "So let me start by saying that this coffee is delicious and works if you’re someone like me who wants to stay awake. I work night shifts at a hospital, and in the mornings, when I get home, I’m quite tired and sleepy. I made myself a cup of coffee and waited for it to work. Now let me tell y’all!!! This coffee kept me awake for hours!! BOY, WAS I WOWED INDEED … best believe I went ahead and ordered three more boxes. This is now my to-go coffee if I need a BOOST!!!!!! If you like coffee and want to stay awake, then BUY THIS COFFEE!!! I’m happy I no longer have to take naps to get re-energized." —nancy

Promising review: "OMG! I love this guy! These things, large and small, will ALWAYS make me laugh. My husband bought the desk version for me, and I can always count on it to make me laugh. My co-workers love it, too. People just stop by to turn him on for a quick pick-me-up. I would recommend getting the AC plug since batteries can run down fast. I think we should create a community of fellow air-dancer-havers and post clips of our little guys dancing to our favorite songs. Anyone in?" —Mark

Promising review: "I have had this spatula since 2022. I reach for this one consistently above all of my other spatulas, and also use this instead of a butter knife for spreading. I absolutely love this tool. I have arthritis in one hand from a surgery, and the shape of the platypus also helps with that. It cleans off very easily, and still looks brand-new." —Thomas Norton

Promising review: "I ordered this lamp because of its appearance. I didn't NEED a depressed duck lamp ... but it has totally filled a void in my life I didn't know existed. Everyone who sees it pokes it. The lamp is actually very functional. It's got a really nice set of brightness options and the glow is yellowish, which is much nicer than white in a dim/dark room. One thing that isn't mentioned in the description is that its legs are utterly floppy. It's terrific." —Literated

Promising review: "These are my favorite markers to use for anchor charts in my first grade classroom. The tips are great for writing nice, big letters. The smells are fantastic, although this pack had a few interesting scents, like nacho cheese. I will only use this brand." —KPorto28

I've had to repurchase already, and I'll reorder more in the future. Can't recommend these enough, as I've been searching for this type of tool for a long time." —Danika Hill
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two styles).
Promising review: "THE HYPE IS REAL. Yes, these are from TikTok. So so so good. I’m somewhat of a fruit snack connoisseur, and I can tell you these are my favorites. They taste like real mangoes and don’t have that super artificial fruit taste lingering in the back. Peeling them is also pretty fun, but they’re just as good eating them whole." —D. Ferguson

As you can see from the above GIF, I bought these for myself, and I love them to pieces. TBH, I use them as decor every bit as much as I use them to eat. Sometimes I just keep them in my work area to light them up during the day to feel fancy. They toggle back and forth between a bunch of different colors, like red, blue, yellow, purple, and multicolor, so you can either make them match *or* have a red and blue one together and bring ~balance~ to the Force.

Promising review: "It is sturdy with no small parts which could be swallowed by my dog. She loves the fact that Gumby's limbs are just the right size for her to chew on and she can carry easily carry this toy around the house. When she finally destroys it, I will purchase another!!! Worth it — I have seen other high-priced dog toys which do not begin to compare with this one's quality." —MomdBom9

Each container holds 24 slices of cheese.
Promising review: "I had an old Kraft cheese container from decades ago that finally broke, and I didn't think I would be able to find a replacement, but this is even better! My kids named it Daisy immediately. It is cute to have in the fridge or even bring out to the dinner table. Great quality and should last a long time." —Karen

Promising review: "I was going to buy the $80 one from UO, and decided to look for cheaper alternatives. I'm really happy with this lamp! The little remote with light settings and timer features is a nice addition. If you're thinking about buying this, I'd recommend you do!" —Jules F

Promising 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 five seconds of joy every time. Highly recommend." —Kitty M.

Hello, I'm a walking cliché of Woman In Her Mid-30s Who Is Very Obsessed With Protein, since it took me three decades to realize I'm in a much better mood all day if I cram it in at every opportunity. I'm very, VERY picky about the protein bars I'll eat — Barebells and Nick's are my go-tos — and these Built bars knocked it out of the park! They have a truly marshmallow-like consistency and the most ridiculously satisfying texture and chewiness. The flavors I've tried have all been spot-on, and they don't leave any kind of aftertaste. I am perpetually out and about and in need of a snack, so I have one of these in my purse at all times!

Promising review: "I have actually bought a couple of packs of these. I think they’re so cute and fit so well in a little plant or around the house.
