I don’t have to awkwardly support the Kindle with my pinky finger or my palm anymore, and the bracelets don’t seem to damage the bezels. The only worry is we don’t know how long before the elastic band wears out and loses hold.” —Ruz0042Get it from Amazon for $12.50.Promising review: “This fragrance is worth the hype. It is musky but sweet-smelling as well. It is paired well with amber, vanilla, caramel, etc. — any bakery scents. It is great for people who want to smell sweet but not like B&BWs–type sweet. For the price point, it is great. Plus, the smell lasts a long time. I get compliments throughout the whole day.” —Chelsea ArcherGet it from Amazon for $5.08.Read more about compression gloves and osteoarthritis at Mayo Clinic.Promising review: “I’m 70 years old and have arthritis in my hands. I’ve used copper bracelets and other gloves for several years, and they are somewhat helpful, but these gloves seem to do a lot better. They have a tight fit and are very comfortable. They are very durable, as I wear them while working outside, hunting, fishing, or whatever. The other gloves I’ve had would have been torn and ripped up by now, but these gloves look like I just took them out of the box, and I’ve washed them twice.” —Keith ProfferGet a pair from Amazon for $9.97 (available in four sizes).Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS.Promising review: “Having been a dental assistant for over 30 years, I found this to be the best brush ever. I am 69 years old and have never had a cavity (genetic and maintenance). For the past 30 years, I have used electric toothbrushes. They worked great, but I like Dr. P’s brush because of the flossing-like bristles. It’s also the perfect size for a quick brush for each quadrant. Also, since taste buds are replaced every 4 days, brushing your tongue is important to keep your breath fresh, and food will taste better. Everybody brush now! Great idea from a real dentist!” —BenKGet a two-pack from Amazon for $9.90. Promising review: “Bought for working out because I’d rather use my cup than water bottles, and honestly, I was surprised to see that it works. The straw is longer than expected. The only flaw is the straw is hard to get in if you have ice already in your cup.” —lisaGet it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors).It has three quiet fan settings, a bunch of different heat settings, a carrying handle, a cool-touch exterior, and overheat protection (for safety reasons!)Promising review: “Perfect quiet little heater. Exactly as described. My husband uses it daily and says this may be his favorite gift — ever. LOL. It’s portable, gives off a good amount of heat, and it’s nice and quiet. He uses it in the bathroom after a shower, under the desk while working from home, and anywhere else he needs warmth. He’s been using it daily for about three months and loves it.” —Amazon CustomerGet it on Amazon for $31.44+ (available in two styles).Promising review: “I often fall for those cheap beauty recommendations, but they are often huge fails. Not this! I love this stuff. I don’t know how it works, but it’s amazing. I swipe an eye stick on, dab this stuff on, and I don’t look like I had five hours of sleep. Even on ‘no makeup’ days, I find myself still applying this. Love it!!” —Jill FultonGet it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades).Promising review: “Can’t be without it. My husband uses this on everything…mac ’n’ cheese, eggs, burgers, fries, baked potatoes, everything.” —ALFGet a two-pack from Amazon for $14.87.Read more about sunlamps and seasonal affective disorder (SAD) at Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic. Promising review: “I work from home at night. I never see the light of day during the winter. This light has been a joy to have and gives great light at my desk to work with, with the benefit of mimicking sun exposure. It’s very easy to use and to replace bulbs.” —Amazon CustomerGet it from Amazon for $49.99 (clip the $10 off coupon on the product page for this price). Promising review: “Literally for any new or old Mac user, or even a user that’s used to any type of device other than Apple! Super helpful for how to copy and paste and do other minor tasks! I mainly use the mouse pad on the laptop, so as my hands rub or grace over the sticker, it has never come off or ripped off at any point in time. It is perfectly still down to the computer part, and I’ve had this for over a year now!! 10/10 recommend!🩷” —ReynGet it from Amazon for $5.95 (available in eight styles).Promising review: “I don’t usually bother to review but this was so much nicer than I expected! Larger, well made, WOW! I hate to admit senility. I love my dog. Imagine forgetting if I fed her or not. I don’t want her overfed or overweight. This is the best thing! I stuck it to the top of her food storage. Now, no question. A++++ Seriously, such better quality and size than I expected!!!” —SuzyGet it from Amazon for $9.95 (also available in a cat version).Promising review: “We’ve had four of these glasses for over six months now and finally just added four more to our collection. These glasses are SO CHIC and are very similar to ones sold at Crate & Barrel but are MUCH more durable. Unlike the C&B glasses, you can cheers without feeling like the glasses will break. In fact, they’ve tipped over in the sink a few times and are still intact. They dry beautifully, sparkle after the dishwasher and we get so many compliments on them. I love them!” —Katie BGet a set of four glasses from Amazon for $39.98 (also available in a set of two).Cup Cozy Pillow is a family-owned small business.Promising review: “I was happily satisfied with my new pillow cup holder for my couch! I was recently laid up after breaking my leg, and since I have a sectional without end tables close, this worked out perfectly! Even fit my large Hydro Flask or my coffee mug in the largest opening.” —kgalsGet it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in a variety of sizes and colors/patterns).Promising review: “I have an adjustable base. My issues have always been with the top sheet. They don’t stay tucked in, and sheets shift. These didn’t catch my eye at first. They looked bulky and cumbersome. All I kept seeing were things I had unsuccessfully used. I gave these a second look and decided to buy them. I’ve had them on my bed a week now and I’m impressed! NO sheet shifting, and they stay tidy with minimal effort to make the bed. These appear to be sturdy as well. I know they are a little pricey for sheet holders, but these are worth it.” —JoniGet it from Amazon for $59.99.Packard 3D Designs is a Maryland-based small business run by mechanical engineer Austin Packard.Promising reviews: “Game changer for our fridge. We had to adjust our shelves a bit, but it was way worth it to have this thing fit!” —Alex McGee”This has made getting water from my refrigerator much easier for my grandkids and me.” —SusanGet it from Packard 3D Designs on Etsy for $25 (available in two colors and two attachment styles).Read more about constipation relief at home, including using a squatting position, at Cleveland Clinic.Promising review: “I first got a bamboo Squatty Potty for constipation relief during pregnancy, and it helps!! I have the adjustable one, and it’s awesome, though there are a few practical issues with that one. First, this one is more compact, and the two pieces fit together and are more discreet, lighter, and easier to move. It’s so light, actually, that I had to get used to using it; it requires having your feet fully centered on the stools, or they will slip off. It easily tucks into a corner and isn’t noticeable. The SP sticks out a bit and is easy to trip on, even when pushed fully back, and isn’t discreet at all. I like the aesthetic of the Stuul better, though SP is more sturdy and is attractive in it’s own way. I do notice the Stuul gets lint/dust, and even soap drips on it, which is noticeable on the black version. I have a dry cleaning brush that cleans it well, though.” —Laura B.Get them from Amazon for $49.95.Promising review: “I love fresh vegetables but hate having to cook up the whole batch and store. This little microwave steamer worked out even BETTER than I could have imagined! I use it almost every day now. I can break off a few stalks of broccoli, cut up a some asparagus, carrots, steam it in the microwave for 3–3.5 minutes and I have a wonderful serving of mixed fresh veggies anytime I want. I love it! It is small, so if you’re feeding a family, look for something bigger along the same lines. It’s easy to clean, and it seems sturdy enough for the dishwasher, but I hand wash it because I had a microwave steamer that got warped after a few runs through the dishwasher. Would definitely buy again.” —terifrancisGet it from Amazon for $15.49.Promising review: “OK, so I do not use these every time I take out my Invisalign, but I ALWAYS have one of these with me because, while 8 times out of 10, I can pull them out myself, there are those occasions where for whatever reason, I can get my Invisalign out almost all the way but then sometimes my right side gets stuck on the last button, and it gets painful, almost like a tooth being pulled. When that happens, I get this bad boy out, and I am good to go. The size is perfect, as it’s easy for me to use despite my long-fingered, large hands, yet it’s small enough to fit in my Invisalign case. Also, since there are two, I keep one at home in my bathroom medicine cabinet and the other in the Invisalign case that I carry in my toiletry bag, which, of course, I carry with me all the time since I brush or at the very least use mouthwash every time I eat anything or drink something that isn’t clear. I absolutely recommend these if, even on rare occasions, you have trouble removing your Invisalign.” —LibEGet a three-pack from Amazon for $11.99 (also available individually and in larger multi-packs).Hustle & Sew is a small shop based in Saint Helens, Oregon.Promising review: “LOVE these splash catchers! They save me from having to chase the puddles that form around the base of our faucet before they start creeping over the counter. So reasonably priced, made well with neatly finished edges, and packaged with gift-ready care.” —AlinaGet it from Hustle & Sew on Etsy for $13.50+ (available in four sizes and five colors).Promising review: “I wanted something that would clean my baby’s paws after our walks because I didn’t want germs or dirt coming into the house. It smells great, it works well, and I can see that the rubber part doesn’t bother my doggy! It’s super easy to use, and I use it to keep her paws clean and my house clean! 10/10, especially for the price point!” —ThiaGet it from Amazon for $7.99.When I moved to NYC, the winters absolutely destroyed me, and I dealt with dry, flaky skin and constant nose bleeds. I knew I needed to get a humidifier, so I bought the first one I found on Amazon, and it was…fine…but I hated how hard it was to clean. So I bought another humidifier. And then another humidifier. But every humidifier I bought was just soooo hard to clean. They all had nooks and crannies — or even unreachable surfaces — that got moldy fast and required a lot of contorting of my wrist to wipe down with a sponge. I also hated having to refill the water tank every day. So, I went searching for a humidifier that was easy to clean and had a big water tank. This bad boy ticks all the boxes for me and the app features are fantastic. You can set the target humidity in a space and the humidifier will run until it reaches the threshold, which it will then maintain. It also has schedule and timer features, but I don’t use those since I work from home and have the humidifier running basically 24/7. There’s even a plant identifier feature that will set the humidity at the optimal level for whatever plants you have.Get it from Amazon for $79.99 (available in two colors).Promising review: “So thankful for this gel. Was having nosebleeds daily with the dry air and this stopped them! It doesn’t make your nose feel sticky, and it’s not really smelly. Easy to use. It was everything I needed.” —DanicaGet it from Amazon for $3.62.It brews a quart (4 cups), so you should have enough java to get you through the day (and maybe some left over to share with your favorite coworker).Promising review: “If you LOVE iced coffee (I drink it year round regardless of the weather) then you NEED this cold brewer. I work for Starbucks and I love our cold brew. I was skeptical to make it at home but I love it more than theirs. It’s especially nice since Starbucks only brews one kind of beans for cold brew, but at home you can brew your favorite kind. Absolutely love this and it’s worth more than it costs. A must-buy for yourself or a wonderful gift for the coffee lover in your life!” —j.blaineGet it from Amazon for $19.94+ (available in two sizes and two colors).Promising review: “I work from home a few days a week, and every once in a while, my work extends into the evening hours. I have a home office, but sitting at my desk all day is sometimes very tiring. I purchased this big memory foam desk pillow so that I can relax on my couch and still put my laptop up and have a comfortable working area. This pillow is big but very comfortable. It has armrests that wrap around the sides of you and they also have little pockets for random things like your cell phone or the remote, etc. It’s so nice to just lean back into my comfortable couch and have this big soft desk in front of me.” —Jenn Butterfield Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (available in three styles). Promising review: “So glad that I came across these very handy sheets. I love having this information handy and easy to use. The magnetic sheets are strong and stay in place well, even with the fridge door opening and closing a lot. It’s handy having them right in view for quick reference. It helps us to use the air fryer more, as it’s easy to glance over and time things correctly. I like that it is a dark color, so it doesn’t get messy as easily, and it has all the things we are most likely to use the air fryer for. The envelope the magnetic sheets come in is cute and would make a nice gift, perhaps in a basket or bag of related items. Happy to have these!” —Small~Town~GirlGet them from Amazon for $8.79+ (also available in white and various bundles/sets).The Table Tyke is a small business founded by “mompreneur” Berlyn Haughton with a mission to create products that make life easier for the grown-ups and safer for the littles. Promising review: “Got this for our 10-month-old who always bites the side of the table and likes to touch everything. This makes less need to disinfect everything before sitting down and makes a great plate for feeding baby bits of our meals without the need a plate that will most likely go flying. Only thing I have found is that it does not do well on tablecloths! Wish we had found this sooner!” —Kristen LGet it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in four colors). BTW, people also love this for helping heal piercings.Promising reviews: “It works just like my Tower 28 spray. Smells the same and feels the same. It’s more product and saves you money. It also comes with two lids, which is perfect for traveling!” —Andrea benton”Just an FYI, this product has the exact same ingredients as the Tower 28 spray! It’s been absolutely amazing at reducing acne and texture! It’s also so refreshing and gives a lil’ glow. So in love!” —BKGet a 4-ounce bottle from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in five sizes and in packs of two and four).Promising review: “I am 68 years old and have been using makeup for 52 of those years. I have tried many mascaras over the years, from inexpensive to very expensive. I cannot say that I have ever been really happy with the results. I had reached the point where I thought that it does not matter the cost; they are pretty much all the same. This changed my mind. I put on two coats and it made my lashes look so thick. If I did not know better, I would think that I had on false eyelashes. I used baby shampoo, as I always do, and I always lather with the baby shampoo twice to remove the mascara, and it came off easily. I will look no more for a new mascara. I cannot imagine a mascara better than this.” —PiagetGet it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in black or brown and in three-packs).BuzzFeed editor Kayla Boyd wrote an in-depth Essence Lash Princess mascara review — I highly recommend reading it!The reviews for this post have been edited for length and clarity.
