Promising review: "Before you splurge on a plumber or septic company, you HAVE TO TRY THESE. We bought our home in November and in March our toilets starting 'gurgling' and losing water when the washing machine would drain.

Over the next few weeks, they gurgled more and more — when the dishwasher drained or we took a shower. I did a lot of research and none of the potential problems were going to be cheap to fix. Everything I read required having professionals come diagnose and repair our plumbing issue.

I bought these and prayed for the best. I was SHOCKED. After one month, the toilets hardly made any more gurgling noises or lost water.

After using these for three months now, the problem has 100% disappeared. I can't imagine the $ we saved by simply adding enzymes to our septic tank! :) Added bonus: Our 8-year-old enjoys flushing the packet down the toilet each month, LOL." — Online Shopper Get six packs from Amazon for $11.

We travel in an RV full-time, and with camping comes bugs...

After trying nearly every bug-catching product on the market over the past two years, I can confirm that this might be magic. I don’t see bugs flying around, but they do seem to be appearing at alarming rates on the sticky pad. Either they’re teleporting from outside directly onto the sticky pad, or this thing attracts them and catches them so fast that they didn’t have a chance to annoy me.

As someone who once owned a Biolite camp stove, I was a believer that the only way to efficiently and completely burn wood to fine ash was by using the airflow fan of the Biolite camp stove. Well, by golly, Solo Stove has proven me wrong.

Fans and electricity have been proven to not be necessary. The Solo Stove Mesa is able to burn wood incredibly efficiently. A very solid product overall.

I bought this in February. This-size bottle lasted a bit more than a month religiously applying it two-to-three times a day. I was really seeing great improvement so I bought another bottle in late March.

Promising review: "It is very uncommon for me to write a review but this product is amazing. My family's silverware had not been polished in the 15 years since I married my husband. The only time I ever polished anything before it was messy and smelly and took forever.

Therefore I didn't have any interest in polishing something that we weren't using. I decided to try these wipes because the price was reasonable. They are easy to use and do a wonderful job! The silverware looks silver! I used four wipes to polish a service of eight, and it took me about 20 minutes.

I highly recommend this product!" — Kehrli Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $9.48 . 28.

Just fill your dirty mug with water, add a tablet, let fizz for half an hour, and then rinse! Promising review: " I seriously can't believe how well these little tablets work.

I had the most disgusting Hydro Flask coffee mug — I tried everything. Bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, EVERYTHING, and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside. It grossed me out so much that I bought ANOTHER Hydro Flask to replace it.

Now, eventually, they both got black inside, so I tried these little magic tablets. I let a tablet sit in each of my mugs for an hour or two, and the black sludge rinsed out COMPLETELY without even scrubbing. They look brand new.

What a magical product. No weird smell or taste afterward, either. I liked it so much, I used it on another HydroFlask I use primarily to hold my Bloody Mary mix in the fridge.

I couldn't put anything else in it because it would always taste like spicy tomato juice. Bottle Bright to the rescue! No residual smell or taste anymore. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING.

" — Amazon Customer Get a pack of 12 from Amazon for $7.99. Check out our closer look at these Bottle Bright tablets for more incredible before and afters.

Sadly, the left-handed version of this is sold out. Promising review: "My cat never really enjoyed being brushed; we had one of those ones with flexible metal bristles. He would sit for a very short time and then walk away.

Not anymore! My cat is very skittish so the sound of the velcro scared him in the beginning, but he quickly got used to it. He lays still, purrs, allows me to get his underbelly a bit, and even allows me to groom his fur 'against the grain,' which he would never do. Today was the first time I did that, and you can see from the pics (above) how much fur I got.

Love it!" — Gabe Mead Get it from Amazon for $7.99 . 31.

I tried this product on my diamonds, Swarovski crystals, and Brighton jewelry and the results are nothing less than amazing!!! This restored one of my Swarovski rings that I have not worn in years due to the cloudy color to a sparkling brilliance just like the first day I bought it!! I cannot recommend this product enough!!!

They are the perfect mixture of sweet, spicy, and salty! Since I go through them pretty fast, this is a great way to get all the flavors for a good price at once. They tend to get stuck together in transit, especially when traveling in Florida, but I’ve never had trouble separating them by gently patting the bag.

It’s definitely more on the expensive side but it’s so worth it. Especially if you have migraines, because it feels like someone is hugging your eyes/face. It feels so amazing.

In the mornings, my room gets so bright and always wakes me up, so I use this and instantly fall back asleep. And I LOVE that you can put it in the freezer; it feels so amazing. Also, I like to sleep on my side with my head elevated and this thing does not slide down.

Promising review: "I have really tight teeth, and flossing can be less than fun.

Promising review: "I've made so many homemade and packaged brownie recipes for the low-carb/keto lifestyle, and this is by far the best.

I made it using the cake-style recipe, and it was still very moist and fudgy. Yes, they are expensive, but as a little treat, they'll keep me going with my low-carb efforts, so they are well worth it to me." — DrLja Get it from Amazon for $13.

The clever bottles have an inner pouch that collapses as babies drink so they're less likely to get gas. And yes, these are dishwasher safe! BuzzFeed writer Mallory Mower says: "I 100% bought these because I thought they were pretty. Turns out, they're also *really* good! We tried several types of bottles when our daughter was born and these were far and away her favorite! It was wild to see how much she preferred them.

As she became able to hold a bottle on her own, we found that the plastic holes and silicone interior made them really easy for her to grab. We now have the larger version (which is on sale today!) and they are great!" Promising review: "I decided to try these bottles because I was looking for a new brand of silicone bottle. These are easy to clean, my baby can hold them more easily than other bottles because of the unique design, the flow seems to be good for her, and they look cool.

I like that the parts which come in contact with my baby’s formula and hot water are plastic-free." — danizorz Get them from Amazon for $19.98 (available in two sizes and eight colorways).

38. And for older kids: a pair of spill-proof Munchkin snack catchers so food can actually make it into your toddler's mouth instead of say, the floor. The BPA-free, dishwasher-safe cups have handles and soft flaps that allow for easy grabbing.

Promising review: "The perfect companion for traveling with a toddler who loves to snack and prefers being independent. I can fit about 12 average-size grapes in it, about 5–6 regular sized cookies, about 8–10 mini cookies, a big handful or small cereal such as Cheerios, and about 10–12 standard Ritz crackers. These estimations are all things that I regularly place in there for him to snack on.

Nothing spills out and whatever does come out is whatever he grabs with his hands to get which is amazing. The only thing I would suggest is placing foil or plastic wrap around the mouth of the cup to prevent any of the snack from getting stale from it being exposed. The lid doesn’t fully cover the snack from air exposure.

It simply protects the snack from spilling over and promotes child independence." — Antoinette Get a pack of two from Amazon for $5.95 (available in two color combos).

39. A floral window film to make an otherwise dreary window look beautifully romantic. These decals provide a little privacy and style but alsooo help your home retain heat in the winter.
