Promising review: "Saves me from auto logouts! My brother recommended this handy gadget. I work from home and have three monitors. When I leave my desk for lunch, the computer goes to sleep, and when I come back, everything is logged out, and whatever was on three monitors ends up on two. SO frustrating. This is programmable for three settings, and I use it on the minimal movement, so when I come back, everything is just as I left it. Revolutionary! Just remember to turn it on!" —Isaiah 41:10

Promising review: "I get nauseous often, and I always have this on me. Whether it's carsickness or anxiety, something will set my stomach off. This always brings me quick relief! I love that it comes in a two-pack. It's so easy to use. Something that sets this apart from other 'boom sticks' is that the Allclair stick is double-sided and has a roll-on/dab-on peppermint oil applicator on the bottom. This is great for applying oil to my temples, around my nose, on my neck, or anywhere else I may need it. It's so easy to use, and it works well. It's a good quality product, and I've used it over and over again. It's great. It's easy to use, the design is user-friendly, and it's a quick way to find relief. Use it in moderation, don't get the oil in your eyes, and you'll have a great time." —MJ

Promising review: "This mat has been a game changer for our back door area. I used to use old towels and subpar mats when the pups came in from outside, especially after rain or snow, but that didn't work. The Muddy Mat not only absorbs more but cuts way down on the tracking of dirt and mud into our home. I shake it out about once or twice every few days, and it washes perfectly in the washing machine. It does not slip much, if at all, and it is so soft, I am considering another one to use as a bath mat. Even our kitty loves to lie on it! The color is beautiful and did not fade in the wash." —Melissa

Promising review: "Never been a big fan of the sunglasses like these that went over the frames of my glasses, but apparently they have gotten much better over the years! My prescription sunglasses are pretty out of date, and I did not want to pay for new lenses, so I figured I would try these. They fit over my glasses' frames really well, don't feel super bulky, and are cute to boot! These seem pretty sturdy; the side arms don't seem like they'll get loose or weak/break any time soon. I would say they are a good quality and very much worth the purchase!" —Michelle Pawlak

Promising review: "I have been looking for a good hair removal for my sensitive skin, and this one is perfect. It has a great odor and leaves my skin feeling smooth and silky. It does not burn my skin at all, even when I leave it on for 15 minutes or more. This is definitely my new hair removal cream. I will recommend this one to everyone." —Crystal

Ronan is a small business that specializes in multipurpose tools for home use.

Promising review: "This is a kitchen must-have. We use it all the time — it's so easy to use that even our kids use it. Very durable blade that continues to perform and get value for your money." —Dawn

Ever Toast is a small business that specializes in unique dinner plates. 

Promising review: "GENIUSSSSS. This product is NECESSARY if you hate soggy sandwiches, pizzas, and waffles! Works great, keeps everything crispy and toasty, we love it here! And for two plates it's a great price!" —Paolo Rivas

There's even a built-in battery tester so you'll know when to toss the ones that have been hanging out in your junk drawer for far too long.

Promising review: "If you have a bunch of batteries sitting in boxes, blister packs, or an open container, this will help you organize them and find them later. The case is big and provides a good AA-heavy storage setup. The included tester is a great addition and lets me know which ones to throw away or recharge instead of just storing them. It holds the batteries securely in place but still keeps them easy to extract." —Aphoid

Promising review: "This works so much better than Pepto and tastes better also. It’s easy to chew and swallow. The texture is way better than any other antacids. It is a bit pricier than other brands, though the ingredients make it understandable." —Jaysangel

Handy Gourmet is a small business that specializes in home and kitchen products. 

Promising review: "Who would have guessed how much easier this product makes getting hot items out of the microwave? This makes the retrieval much safer for me. I have hand problems, and gripping this tool makes the removal steadier and safer, preventing burns. I recommend!" —Envy's Opinion

(Psst — you should consult with your doctor before trying anything new involving your neck/back area to make sure it's safe for you!)

For this, instead of a regular pillow, you're supposed to lie on it in 10-minute intervals; the seller suggests working your way up to it by starting at 5 minutes at a time, with a 1-day to 3-day adjustment period before regular use.

Promising review: "This neck relaxer is so easy to use! It took a few times to get used to, but it is not uncomfortable and is very helpful with my chronic neck pain and shoulder tension. I felt pain relief after the first use! I have even been able to cut back on my chiropractor appointments because of this product. So thankful for this amazing find, as I am only 41 and have been struggling with neck pain for several years now." —Mary Beth

And just in case there aren't any in the public bathroom stall you're in, keep a pack of your own disposal bags on hand.

Promising review: "This was great for traveling. Fits in smaller crossbody purses for on the go or in tote bags. Holds a good amount of tampons and some Midol or any other pain reliever you use. I keep it in my everyday tote and use it when I’m out." —Kearsten Kreh

If you’re concerned about your hiccups, talk to your doctor. Read more about hiccup causes and treatment at the Cleveland Clinic. 

Promising review: "I was admittedly skeptical at first, but I gotta say, I was SO wrong because this thing is SO right. Wow. I mean, it's instant relief. I get the hiccups sometimes, and they'll last for a super long time, and they kind of hurt sometimes, too. This straw, after one sip, makes them disappear in what feels a miraculous way! If I could give 100 stars, I wouldn't hesitate." —MW

And then I always try to get it off with a Kleenex, and I end up with little fibers all over. No, these sponges are a far smarter bet.

Promising review: "I'm not really sure what else to say about this besides that it works! I change clothes frequently, so this product is a godsend. Gets the deodorant stains right out!" —Amazon Customer

Some reviewers have reported having trouble refilling the pen, but this reviewer has a helpful explanation of how to refill them. Reviewers also say these are *great* for ensuring crisp lines when working with stencils!

Slobproof is the woman-owned small biz that sells these genius touch-up paint pens!

Promising review: "How did I ever live without these?! I had these in my cart forever, but the price seemed a bit high for what they are. Finally, on an impulse, I pulled the trigger and bought them. I'm now kicking myself for not doing it sooner. These are fantastic!!! They make small fixes a breeze, especially when two paint colors butt up next to each other at a corner. The brush fibers are great and smoothly put the paint in the exact spot. I had even tried buying artist's brushes for touch-ups in the past, but they never worked well, and I no longer need to pull out the whole can to do one tiny touch-up. I have these locked and loaded with every paint color in my house and am ready to go." —AAG338

The patch's scent is a soothing combination of lemon, jasmine, and rose oil!

I am so intrigued by these that I just bought a pack! Thankfully, my period cramps are easily solved with some Motrin, but once a month, I get an ovarian cyst rupture. It's never so painful that I have to seek medical care, but it is painful enough that I need to sit with a heating pad and wait for the pain to subside (and heat is the only thing that helps). I usually have a general idea of when they'll occur, but now with these patches, I can be prepared if I'm not at home and need relief fast. 

Promising review: "Amazing! If you like heating pads during that lovely time just get it..it says they last for six hours or something, but I've had a few/all stay warm and comforting for over 15 hours! They are perfect." —SFMB

Promising review: "I'm a nursing student and have to wear my hair in a bun every day. I've tried all the bun makers, watched YouTube videos, and spent way too much time getting my hair into a bun. I was able to make a pretty bun that was secure in under 30 seconds. I thought it was a fluke, so I did it again, and then again. I just ordered two more packs because I know if I lose one of these, I'd have to tear the house down looking for it. I have hair to my mid-back, and three of these worked perfectly for me. If I can get my hair in a bun in under 30 seconds, trust me...anyone can." —Tina

Promising review: "As embarrassing as it is to admit, I used this in the car on a road trip. I didn't know exactly what to expect, but I was thrilled with the outcome! I pulled over and positioned myself over the bag, and it was easy peasy! The crystals absorbed the urine, and there was no mess or smell. I have kids, and these will work great for them, too. I'm really glad I bought these. We travel with our dog EVERYWHERE, and we can't leave him in the car to stop for bathroom breaks at rest stops, so these have already proven themselves perfect for traveling." —Ella

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in larger pack sizes).

Promising review: "Can remove practically any stains on fabric, including oily food stains or blood droplets, if you clean it right away. Handy to have these Tide pens in laundry rooms, cars, offices, or purses. We have one that’s more than five years old and still works like a charm! Highly recommended!" —5—7—5

Get a pack of three from Amazon for $7.98.

Promising review: "I am a 40-some-year-old woman who still gets pimples. I tried a wide swath of pimple patches. These are the best. Like the Goldilocks of patches — some were very adherent but took off skin to remove, and some fell off very quickly — these are just right. And they work. They reduce the inflammation and keep gunk from getting in. They also keep you from picking at the zit. My teenage daughter also uses them, and they work for her. I have very fair skin, and she is much darker, and they seem to blend nicely with both skin tones." —K. Dahl

Get a 36-count pack from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in 72- and 75-count packs).

Promising review: "It's gross in the most spectacular way. The amount of disgusting gunk that came out of my face was appalling, and I instantly gagged. However, my nose has never felt so clean and smooth for consecutive days. If you have oily skin, I definitely recommend washing your face first and applying it to the nose before moisturizing the rest of your face. If I could give this 10 stars, I would. Everyone is getting this for Christmas…maybe because it's not cheap." —Justina

To use, shake the bottle 10 times and turn the nozzle to "open." Then, just plug the nozzle into the drain and spray the foam for three to seven seconds, and wait 30 minutes before rinsing.

Promising review: "Wow! It helped clear my drain. This is exactly what I needed. I kept using the liquid drain declogger, and it just kept getting clogged again. I got this on a whim. It is AMAZING. It foams up incredibly fast and pushes so much icky crud out of my drain. I will admit, I used too much product on my first go. Like wayyy too much. It was just [enjoyable] getting more and more out of it. I scooped all the crud out of the sink it pushed out, then did it again too. Lol. Amazing. At least you can see how much product comes in a can, where I was excessive with it, it’s a lot! Still more in there, too. Will definitely buy again and use more regularly and sparingly. No doubt you can do it two or three times per bottle if you use it more conservatively. My sink was just super gross. I’m so amazed at the difference. Let it sit for a while, the foam dissolves, and you can see the gunk better to wipe out. I took pictures of before and after I let it sit." —Jenna Osborne

Talk to your doctor before attempting to treat your keloid on your own, and learn more about keloids from Cleveland Clinic.

Promising review: "This product is amazing! Truly a miracle product. I had an AWFUL keloid forming near my nose piercing about six weeks after getting it done, and it was getting bigger and more irritated by the day; nothing was helping. I bought this and started using it, and in less than two weeks, my huge keloid was completely gone! I was definitely skeptical and a little nervous when it didn’t seem to be getting noticeably smaller after a week, but then the second week, it started totally disappearing, so give it some time to work if your bump is on the larger side. If you remain patient and apply it twice a day, it should do the trick!" —Jordan Caprigno

Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (also available in multipacks and in a bundle with a saline gel).

Promising review: "More than six years with a large, sometimes painful plantar wart on the bottom of my foot. The doctor tried freezing. I tried apple cider vinegar, aspirin, freezing at home, over and over again... Nothing worked. Never showing the bottom of my feet, refusing to get a pedicure with the girls, and so, so embarrassed. It felt as if I was doomed to have it forever; it was resistant to everything. Literally six years of fighting it, and on a whim, I tried these because of the good reviews. ONE APPLICATION. I wore the bandage overnight. I didn’t think it did anything, but a few days later, the wart just came off. I know it’s silly to be so emotional over a stupid wart, but I’m telling you, I nearly cried. I’ve never been so happy with a product in my life. Highly, highly recommend giving these a try if you’ve got stubborn plantar warts." —Liz Dube

These come with a Velcro-like adhesive that allows you to easily replace the filters. Some reviewers noted that when they removed the adhesive, it peeled the finish off their fans. Consider installing the filters with Command strips if you're concerned about that!

Promising review: "I wasn't sure what to expect when purchasing these, but now they are a staple in every room of our house. Within three days, the air smelled more crisp and it was easier to breathe in our home. So simple and effective!" —Haylee Marez

Read more about cradle cap — aka seborrheic dermatitis — at Seattle Children’s and the American Academy of Dermatology.

The kit includes a double-sided foam sponge and bristle brush, a fine-tooth comb, and a storage stand.

Promising review: "A must-have for newborns. My 6-week-old had bad cradle cap, and this brush worked miracles. I wish I had it from birth. We have continued to use this brush even though the cradle cap has gone, and it does wonders on the scalp and keeps the hair looking healthy. Highly highly recommend. Plus, my baby enjoys the gentle scalp massage from the soft bristles." —LM01

Promising review: "This refreshes my worn-out manicure very well. I apply this as a topcoat over my old manicure. It respreads and smooths out the polish and leaves it fresh and shiny. It's a bit pricey, but it does save me a lot of time and trouble not having to repolish my nails." —SoniaSophia
