1. A set of family-friendly pastel "unbreakable" deep plates perfect for anyone who needs to be practical, but doesn't want to sacrifice on prettiness. These chic plates are unexpectedly lightweight, making them easier for kids to use, but are still dishwasher-safe and microwave-safe for up to three minutes.

Promising review : "These are microwaveable and light to carry. Love the colors. Wish they were available in one color only, but I can’t complain.

I primarily bought these for microwave purposes. But can be used for salads, hot soup, etc. Also, it’s an in-between size like a medium.

Just right for me." — M. Zolnosky Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.

That strange dream about turning into a pool noodle happened at exactly 3 o'clock again" before falling back asleep. It also functions as a USB port to charge devices! Promising review: "The projection on this clock is sublime. If I am sleeping on my side and turned away from the clock, I merely have to cock my head to see what time it is rather than waking up to turn over and look at the clock.

I am buying a second clock for my second bedroom. The design is nonintrusive and takes up very little space on my nightstand." — Sheryl S.
