Need is a strong word, but I really need these things.
Promising review: "Dunno what’s in it, or what it’s doing, but the end result is a flawlessly clean kettle with basically zero effort." —David Judges Stuff
"Bought Durgol and used it on all of the bathroom sinks to polish the chrome sink stoppers, which had lost their shine from soap scum over the years. No matter what soap scum product I used, nothing worked. I couldn't restore the shine. But Durgol restored everything to brand new again. WOW! What a GREAT product!!! I'm hooked." —marintravelbuff

Promising review: "Great color, kept me warm in Iceland from hiking windy cliffs to glacier caves to late-night aurora borealis hunting. Became my go-to beanie for its comfort and cute-factor. My skin is sensitive and doesn't do well with wool — this is soft and comfortable. It even stayed pretty dry around water spray." —Krystal Carden

Promising review: "I have back issues. Serious ones. Aside from the degeneration and bulging discs, I have an awful hunch that seems to be getting progressively worse since I had my baby. I wouldn't be surprised if I'm walking around looking like the 'Crooked Man' soon enough! Apart from how I look, I am also in constant pain and taking pain medication all day is not an option for me. My doctor suggested a posture corrector to see if I could get any relief at all and although I wasn't very optimistic, I gave it a shot. It took a couple of days to get used to it but I'm so glad I took his advice!! It helps my posture a great deal and my doctor said he attributes the pain relief I feel in my neck and low back to my posture being better. It helps my body remember not to slouch and in doing so has also helped my quality of life immensely!! Highly recommended! Seriously!!" —Corinne Cruz

Promising review: "I've worked at Trader Joe's for a long long time. This cool book helps inspire me to cook something different which is hard after cooking dinner almost every night for near 20 years. Some of the ingredients have been discontinued but if you know the basics of cooking it's easy to find substitutes. Easy recipes and easy to follow instructions." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I keep my hairdryer, straightener, two curling irons, hair spray, dry shampoo, two lotions, and two hair products on this. It just fits so much. It only requires about 6" of the interior of the cabinet to be cleared to make room for when the cabinet door is shut. I'm so happy about this." —Poe

Promising review: "I have fallen in love with this dress. I ordered a size 10 or M and it didn't disappoint or fail to fit. I wear a 10 in dresses mainly but because of my hips, if the dress is fitted, I'll get a 12 which results in the dress being too roomy up top. This dress has a beautiful fall and flow. I am 5'6" without heels and the dress falls slightly below my knees. It isn't fitted at the bottom which is perfect for a 38-30-39 shape like mine! I have ordered this dress in every color!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I happen to love Victorian houses and this book is lots of fun. There are brief but very interesting descriptions on the back of each page. In addition to coloring the house and its beautiful porch, there are many different and interesting rooms to get your design juices flowing. This is one of my favorite coloring books." —Vicki M

Promising review: "I was nervous about it being too small, but it was plenty big. I wear 36DD padded bras and I could pack three comfortably... probably could get a fourth on there if I tried. I am very happy with my purchase and do recommend this to anyone looking for a nice storage bag for travel." —Texas Girl

Promising review: "Absolutely love the product!!!! I had over a month old wine stain all over my dining chair and this Wine Away product removed the old wine stains from my chair. The chair is back to its original look, like new. Amazing product! I spilled red wine all over my chair but cleaning it was super easy. Take a look at the before and after pic. Very happy with the results." —~Gigi~

Promising review: "I'm a single dad of a 6-year-old girl and combing her hair is the hardest part of taking care of her. She gets really bad knots in her hair. This brush is the only thing that has ever worked. Thank you so much. She even likes to comb her own hair now." —Nguyen P.

Promising review: "I bought two of these and they're perfect for organizing the pens on my craft desk. The connections slid in tight and the entire structure is very sturdy. For reference sake, each hole is generally the size of a standard pen (if maybe a slight bit bigger)." —J. Jones
Get it from Amazon for $6.96 (available with 60- and 96- holes).
Promising review: "I’ve always wanted a long camel coat and this was it! Very classy. It can be dressed up or used for a casual outing. Quick shipping (if you have Prime) and nicely packaged. I have it in black too. I need to get it in green. For reference, I’m 5’2", 170 lbs., and purchased a large." —Devon
Get it from Amazon for $45.99+ (available in sizes XS-XXL and in six colors).
Promising review: "We have ridiculously hard water. The Culligan guy who tested it was surprised it doesn’t come out of the faucet as a solid. My dishes, especially my Pyrex bowls and casserole dishes were almost white from the build-up. Nothing ever seemed clean. I tried this, and it’s an absolute miracle. My dishes are clean again. See the comparison in the picture — bowl on the left is 'clean', it was washed without the Finish booster. The bowl on the right was washed with. I’m totally not kidding, it completely does what it says!" —CB

Promising review: "Bohemian look. Take it into colder months with tights and boots, but I'll wear it in summer with strappy nude sandals. Very meet-the-parents appropriate." —S.Shaffer Customer
Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in sizes XS-XL).
Promising review: "I bought two of these, and I’m very pleased with them. The non-slip feature on the bottom is great — you won’t have cutlery sliding around when you open and close your drawers. I would highly recommend it." —Chelsea C.

Promising review: "Most investment books I've read are generally worthless, with the author's ego and business motives being the highlight. With Investing 101, I struck gold! It is a perfect lexicon of facts and information. It describes all the language and terminology, number and formula, and strategies used by different investors. It's concise and easy to understand. The information provided has given me enough knowledge to begin trying investing on my own. Excellent resource." —Deborah Walker

Promising review: "The only thing I don’t like is that kids think they are real and walk up and try to hang on the handles, which obviously just come right off. I have to admit it’s hysterical, it does teach the kids to quit messing around with things they shouldn’t because they think they break them... it’s downright comical. Other than that, you would never know they are magnetic. They stay on, you can pull them off easily to wash the doors and then just put right back on. Heavy rains and they didn’t come off. It’s -20 outside now, and they're still stuck on with no problems. I got three sets — one double door and one single door, looks perfect." —Rummy3

Promising review: "I've always struggled with chapped lips. The ONLY thing that would work for me was the yellow Carmex tin but I personally find the smell and taste to be really annoying and just too overwhelming. I don't know what part of me was drawn to these but I read the ingredients and was impressed that everything is natural and organic. The variety of scents also seemed very pleasing. I honestly wasn't expecting much but they are COMPLETELY worth it. They are very soothing, they make my lips feel great, they smell and taste great (my favorite is the Coconut and the Eucalyptus one), I love the ingredients — EVERYTHING about these are great. At night before bed I always apply some, I have the Strawberry one in my room, and my dogs always try to lick it off my face (they are little 1-year-old chihuahuas). I never thought anything of it, but they liked it SO MUCH they stole it while I was gone and literally ate it, with the plastic and everything! Their names are Peach and Toast by the way. (No one got harmed or sick after eating these, luckily). So, if you notice your dog loves the flavors just as much as you do — hide it or they will get to it." —Selene

Promising review: "My first job out of college was working in the reference room of a small public library and based on that sometimes bizarre one-year experience, I can tell you that this collection of real-life stories about the interactions of librarians with their patrons is absolutely dead-on. Oh, and each one is priceless — whether it be hilarious, embarrassing, heartbreaking, gag-inducing disgusting, or just plain confusing. This is a must-read for anyone who has ever worked in or volunteered at a library or patronized one. Let's hear three cheers for all hardworking librarians who graciously put up with the public and our wacky queries! Warning: Beware reading this in public. You will be laughing out loud most of the time!" —Cathryn Conroy

Promising review: "I can't believe I'm taking the time to comment on Gummi Bears but these are just that good and I want everyone to know it. I've been buying these at the grocery store in 9-ounce bags for $3.59. This 5-pound bag is a great deal. Hard to fathom that they are fat-free. These are the best textured and best-tasting gummi's ever." —Jim Signor

Promising review: "Love this mask! I've tried Glow Recipe's watermelon mask too and I think this one works so much better. It doesn't smell too sweet. Try not to rub in the mask too much because then it will sort of flake/peel off." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This is a nice hardcover book with many quotes from many of Jane Austen's popular books. Each page contains a single quote and refers to the book in which it may be found. It measures 5" x 3.75" and is about 1" thick. It is divided into 10 'chapters' with each chapter containing quotes that pertain to a particular subject. For example, chapter three is 'Mistress of Myself'. The pages are of a nice solid paper. Not quite as thick as construction paper, but firmer than regular printer paper. There is also a nice attached ribbon for use as a bookmark." —Dave

Promising review: "This mask is so fun and really feels like it deep cleans. It bubbles up a lot and will make you feel like the Michelin Man lol — but it works great especially with deep cleaning your pores. My 5-year-old loves wearing this mask and watching it bubble — and it doesn't irritate her sensitive skin which is great. I too have sensitive skin and have had no problems at all with this mask. It does get a bit tingly when it's bubbling but in a good way. This mask is great for girls night as its hilarious watching it bubble up on everyone. The price is great for the amount of product you get, just be careful and apply very, very lightly on the forehead and around the nose as it does bubble up thick and will go up your nostrils. Very happy with this purchase and will definitely buy again." —Jess

Promising review: "This thing is cuuuttee. I know it says one size and I was scared of that but fits great, very stretchy. The bottom skirt is a form-fitting but with the tulle on top it looks cute and doesn't make me feel fat or anything, I feel cute and it's all flowy." —frenchfrymonkey

Promising review: "I seriously should've thought about buying this way sooner, for years people who came over to my house would ask, 'which one is the fan?' Now that I put this product in, there is no question as to which pull chain is for which. The chain part comes in three different colors, so you can match the color of the existing chain — you just have to cut the chain to the length that you want, install the product, and you are ready to use it." —808pops

Promising review: "This jumpsuit feels SOO much more expensive than the price!! It’s the best material for a jumpsuit I’ve gotten off Amazon. I’m 5’7", wearing my true small, and it fits great. It’s off the shoulder and doesn’t rise up. It has pockets and thumbholes as well. I love that you can dress it up or dress it down. It’s perfect for airplane travel too! 10/10 would recommend!!" —Haley Simao

Promising review: "I'm a 35-year-old woman who got this as a Christmas gift. I really like electronics and LEDs, AND I LOVE THIS. A year later and I still take this box out just to play with it in between other, more complicated projects. If I had gotten this as a kid, I would have loved it too. As an adult, it was pretty educational when I was new to exploring electronics. My cats go nuts over the flying parts, which is also very entertaining." —shartshark

Promising review: "This is a cute book. For some reason I thought it was a cookbook, so don't misread as I did. :-) There is a recipe in the back of the book, which is a nice added bonus. The book itself is adorable and quirky. I recommend this to anyone who's looking for an out of the box present or just wants a fun book to read." —Michele

Promising review: "My late husband loved hummingbirds and I hung this in the memorial garden where his ashes are. It is at our home we have owned since 1967. I can see them at night and it is comforting to think we are still doing something for him. These change colors each independently and are very pretty." —Ruthie Viles
