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.

I bought my car about a year ago and it had stains all over the seats — I didn’t want to pay $300+ for them to be cleaned since I’m a college student so I just waited. My sister saw a TikTok video or something about this machine and while I was doubtful that it would work since some of these stains have been there for who knows how long I finally bought it cause I spilt a blue slushee over my car seats. Lo and behold I now have a car with no stains whatsoever! I wish I had gotten it sooner!! I wish I would’ve taken before and after pics but I’ll try and upload some of how it looks now at some point!

Promising review: "Saw it on TikTok and knew I had to have one. I hate cleaning but get annoyed with the clumps of dog hair and bits of things on my kitchen floor.

This lamp has it all — the first brightness level is very bright, the second is just a little less bright, and the third is the ambient light .
It was the perfect addition to my newly redecorated living room. You need to attach the base, but it was very easy to do. Happy with the quality of the lamp also.

Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and bought it. No regrets! I’ve used this almost daily since I got it. I’m moving way more than I did before.

This is 10 out of 10 recommended for someone who's looking to move more!! " — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $474.99 (clip the $100 off coupon on the product page for this price). Psst — you can watch the viral desk bike TikTok featuring it for more insight on how it works.

These pillows — these amazing, heavenly pillows — are now my favorite part of going to bed. Soft but firm. How does that work? It gives support for me to sleep slightly propped up but I sink into this comfortable personal cloud.
Soft but firm. My head isn't sinking through the pillow to rest on my mattress, but I feel comfortably enveloped. Heaven.

Buy now with one click. Stop the research. You've found the pillows you were looking for.

Promising review: "Makeup artist and esthetician in training here! I adore this pillow. I was searching high and low for a good quality, affordable, and REAL silk pillow.
After months of research online for the best option, I chose this pillow. It’s 100% real mulberry silk on both sides, has a hidden zipper, and it doesn’t slide around!!! It’s not only helped my hair not tangle, but the acne that I normally get on my cheeks from being a side sleeper has diminished almost completely (due to the anti-microbacterial properties of mulberry silk). Also I’ve noticed my skin looking ever so slightly plumper and more hydrated.
I t also stays cool through the night." — J. Thompson Get it from Amazon for $28.

I threw them in the washer and dryer and then made up the bed. They don’t look like they would be as soft and comfortable as they are, but they are so amazing I ordered another set today! So earthy and natural. I’ve shopped around, and these are very reasonable.

Promising review: "I ordered speakers that were waterproof and could sit outside and I’m so glad I found these. They create a nice ambience when sitting out back, and the sound is loud but not too loud to disturb neighbors.

I tried this hoping for the best and I will say, I slept like a baby for the first time in seven years. I put a pillow under each side to prop it up to make it cradle in more and I’m in heaven. I'm 57 and have had a hard time dealing with the emptiness of divorce.
Who needs a man when you’ve got this to sleep in? Purchase it! You won’t regret it. And best of all, no one snoring next to me! Win, win!" — Heavenstinyangels Get it from Amazon for $139.99+ (available in four styles).

I've used it for about a month now, which is longer than the $$$ one from Williams Sonoma, which died an ugly death. And it doesn't twist forcibly and hurt my shoulder like others I've had. So I am very impressed.
The accompanying foil cutter is the best I've ever had, by the way!" — Midge Get it from Amazon for $42.90 . 31.

The customer support is outstanding, easy to reach and very helpful. One thing to note is that to capture all recordings, you need to enable both motion and person detections. I had it set on only person to limit notifications but it missed a few recordings of me going in and out of the house for some reason.
I haven’t had any trouble getting a recording now after enabling both . Best of all, there are no hidden and monthly fees, don’t have anybody hassling or forcing you to subscribe in order to view more recordings. I will buy another.

Check out a TikTok of the reading chair in action. Promising review: "Amazing reading chair/lounger . If you're one of those people who needs to change positions often while reading, this chair is the bomb.
I leave a charging cord in the arm for my phone and headphones, slide out the foot, and grab whatever book I chucked under there. I can lay down, recline, sit straight, etc. with ease.
The foot stool part, being collapsible and held up with thin bars, did kind of sink a little after awhile but nothing that makes the chair feel broken or look lopsided. It's a solid little guy and I plan on picking another one up eventually for another room I like to read in. " — Calvin Andrews Get it from Amazon for $229.

Bonus: if you don't grab the paper towel, it sucks it back up for safekeeping! Promising review : "Do we need it? No.
But it might be my favorite unnecessary gadget purchase of all time. It leaves our counter tops uncluttered, the no touch sensor lets me grab a paper towel with dirty hands, and I feel like we use less paper towels overall. It’s easy to install, easy to program, and easy to replace the roll.

Promising review : "I have suffered from insomnia all my life, and have found if I fall asleep listening to something I sleep better. I tried falling asleep to the TV, but invariably around 3 a.m.
, I would wake up listening to infomercials. Then, while traveling, my husband and I stayed in a very nice hotel that had this product in our room. I tried it, and slept like a baby the whole time we were there! I knew I had to have one at home, and ordered this as soon as we got home.
I love that it has so many different sounds to choose from, as well as volume adjustment. You can leave it on all night or set the timer to shut off. This is a fantastic product, and while not inexpensive, in my opinion, well worth the money.

A wine nook dispenser to hide the eyesores of your beloved boxed wine and give your counters more of a ~streamlined~ look again. Wine Nook is a small business specializing in wine accessories for home and event use. Promising review : "I switched to boxed wine as my town no longer recycles glass and I felt horrible just throwing the bottles away.
As much as I like my faves (Black Box Cab and Bota Nighthawk Black), the boxes looked crummy. This fixed all that! It looks great sitting on my butler's pantry shelf against the liquor bottles. Very fun! Note, you will remove the bag of wine from the box and set it inside, the the shape of your box doesn't matter.
A+!" — AmandaFMascio Get it from Amazon for $79.99 (available in three colors). 40.
An investmentworthy Samsung Frame TV that will instantly become the central hub of your home, just because it is that darn beautiful. Its motto is "TV when it's on. Art when it's off" — and TBH, the images speak for themselves.

It has massively upgraded the look in my living room. My husband loves the photography options and I love all the classical paintings. As someone who loves changing up my decor, I find that being able to update the display images has been so fun.

I did a comparison taste test with the Balmuda toaster versus my cheapie $60 toaster oven. You can really taste the difference in the toast with the texture and the moisture of the inside of the toast. Hands down, Balmuda blew my other toaster out the water.
