January was just a trial run — now it's finally time to get serious.

It comes with six magnetic dry-erase markers and an eraser. 

Promising review: "Highly recommend! I have had this for almost a year now, and it has held up very well. We diligently use the weekly and monthly planner, which has helped keep us responsible and reminded of upcoming requirements. We turned the "daily calendar" into a shopping list, which has been an enormous help. When we're cooking and realize we are out of something, writing it on the board is really convenient to help us remember it on our next grocery trip. It is super easy to erase and clean. I often use one spray of bleach disinfectant and a little water on a paper towel, then wipe down the boards to remove any residue. The boards have a strong magnet and no signs of falling off or curling at the edges." —rpaxton

Promising review: "Saved my mornings. I have a very small wallet, and thus, it is easy to lose. I alternate between three different bags in a week and my wallet is getting bounced around all week. I never know which bag it ends up in, and then waste valuable time in the morning rummaging through my various belongings like a raccoon digging through trash bins in search of buried treasure. The tile is constantly updating with the app, so it is never a mystery as to where my wallet ended up. It's lightweight, feels like plastic, but I have never had an issue with the plastic cracking or accidentally pressing the button. And oh, the noise it makes when you DO need it to beep? Loud. Proud. You will find it from across the parking lot. Under a pile of laundry. In a snowbank." —Caitlyn

Beyond 3D Creations is an Massachusetts-based Etsy shop established in 2020 that specializes in 3D-printed desk accessories. 

Promising review: "This is definitely a hit! Now I’m so used to reaching my phone from this holder without looking down at my desk, and my screentime has decreased a lot during day time. This really helps in terms of being more efficient so that I can finish my work early and get more me time back at the end of the day. Highly recommend it if you want to be less distracted while working!" —Shelby Cedrone

Kitchen Safe is a US-based small business that specializes in lockboxes to help curb distracting habits.  

Promising review: "I love using this product to stop myself from going on my phone so much. Once you start implementing this into your daily routine, you will see many changes for the better in your life! Especially if using for your phone, you learn to be away from it and to not focus on the stresses that phones can create. I highly recommend this product also because of the sturdiness of the box. The full white base is the one I got and the plastic is thick enough where I don’t feel like it’ll crack. It has proven to be very effective in the weeks that I have had it. The functionality of the timer is awesome as well. I love how easy it is to set a time up on it and to quickly do so as sometimes I hesitate in wanting to put my phone in there. But once I do I can’t go back and that is a great thing!" —Julia

Get it from Amazon for $59+ (available in 10 styles and three sizes). 

Promising review: "Minimizes background noise to allow concentration. Bought this to use at work because my co-workers can be quite (very!!!) loud and there are times when I need full concentration to get work done on the computer. This allows me to still hear things but in a very muted volume so that I can concentrate on work. It’s very lightweight and once you find the right size for you, is quite comfortable as well." —A.J.

Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in four colors).

Promising review: "Love this bottle. I have noticed I drink way more with a bottle that has markers on the side like this one does! the quality is top notch - durable hard plastic, great vinyl, and size is perfect. I love the lock mechanism and that I can throw it in my bag and it doesn’t leak! definitely worth the money! i can’t wait to cover it in stickers lol" —Abby Boone

The key is to start with an already clean shower — then, once a week, spray it down with this for upkeep so you don't have to deep clean quite as often!

Promising review: "Let me be clear: I HATE cleaning the bathroom, all aspects of it, including the shower. At the same time, I HATE a dirty bathroom, especially the shower, since I got Lasik and can clearly see the filth and scum that until now was there but invisible to my blind eyes. Along comes Wet & Forget and holy shiny tile Batman, this stuff works! I use it weekly (unless I forget, which is part of its name, oddly enough), and it really looks like I used some brute force to bring my shower to its original glory. Get it, use it.....but dang it, don't forget it!" —Randy B

Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action. 

Promising review: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper, which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the foo,d and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Love, love, love this salad pod. It’s very well made, perfect for prepping salad and having ready for next day. Looks good and the perfect size also. Very easy to clean — just squirt a little Dawn in it, close and shake it, comes clean quickly. I recommend it to all!" —Shirley

A training guide is included to show you all the ways you can use it and adjust it! 

Promising review: "This is one of the best products I have ever purchased from Amazon. It works very well. It is fun and easy to use. It's simple to adjust the weight resistance, and the resistance has a wide range of choices. The foam is very comfortable on my hands and arms. Solid, sturdy construction makes me feel confident when using it. I definitely recommend it as a way to stay toned and active for anyone wanting to start something new. My results were almost instant. It can be used sitting in place or standing." —Michael 

This is especially handy when you’re trying to fit a week’s worth of outfits into your suitcase for that upcoming trip. No more sitting on your luggage to get it to close!

Promising review: "Let me start off with this: I hate folding laundry. I absolutely hate it. I've seen this thing all over social media. I decided to try it out and OH. MY. GOSH. I freaking love it! It's super easy to use and my clothes are perfectly folded every time. As weird as it sounds, I actually look forward to folding my laundry now. I wish I had purchased this sooner! I like the design it has and I love how compact it is. After I'm finished folding my laundry, I just fold up the folding board and tuck it away! It's lightweight and seems durable. I recommend this to everyone, even those who hate folding clothes. I was skeptical at first, but after trying it out, I am 100% satisfied with my purchase and this product! It's worth every penny!" —Kayli

Check out a TikTok of the instant latte in action!

Clöud Café is a small business that creates premium instant tea and coffee beverages.

I'm not even kidding when I say I make a cup of this every single day — it's just that good! I alternate between the lattes and matcha! It's incredibly creamy, so you could totally just mix it with water and call it a day. But me? I love adding almond milk and a little cold foam because, honestly, the creamier, the better. Heads up, though: It’s pretty sweet. So if you're into that classic, slightly bitter vibe, this might not be your vibe.

They're also packed with marine collagen, and while I can’t say for sure it's the reason, my skin has been glowing ever since I started sipping on this regularly.

Promising review: "NEW FAVORITE COFFEE. I would drink this everyday even if it didn’t have collagen or other benefits! This coffee just black is absolutely delicious and tastes like chocolate. It’s also been a huge money saver since I frequent coffee shops less now." —Alice

The scanner works with any device that can connect to Bluetooth 4.0 or higher. See a TikTok of the scanning pen in action.

Promising review: "This is quite possibly the best product I have ever bought. It has cut my flashcard-making time down by at least half. I ordered it thinking it might be okay, but it worked way better than I ever expected it to. Once you learn how to use it (which doesn't take that much time) and scan at the right speed and angle, the mistakes will be minimal. There are still far fewer mistakes than when I just type it myself, and it is way faster than typing. This has completely changed my entire school experience. On top of that, the customer service is great. I got a new computer and couldn't find the product key to reinstall it. I sent them an email, and I got a new product key in a few hours. Anyone who makes flashcards on a computer needs to buy this product." —Josh

Get it from Amazon for $129+ (available in two colors).

Promising review: "I wanted to reduce stress and nail down some habits, and I've always done better when I can see progress tangibly. I'd been eyeing this calendar for some time, but was unsure if it was worth the money. I decided to go for it. SO glad I did. It has some 'homework' pages at the beginning to help you focus in on your goals, but mostly it's the cleanness and ready-to-go nature of the monthly calendar pages that have worked for me. It's helped me be more disciplined AND narrow my focus so I'm not worrying about doing everything under the sun each day. I liked it so much that I bought a second one for a friend. Another friend saw me using it and also made a purchase. I'm really happy I made the leap." —Flight of Stars

The notepad — from woman-owned small biz Bloom Daily Planners — features one side for your meal plan and another side that's a perforated "shopping list" you can tear off and take with you!

Promising review: "I’ve been starting to get into meal prepping and this planner really helps! I like being able to look up recipes on my phone, then write down whatever ingredients I still need on the grocery list section of this planner. Its being magnetic is cool because you can hang it on the fridge. I love how the grocery list section can be ripped off so you can take it to the store, but the daily meal plans remain on the fridge so you can stay organized. This is a very simple idea, but it’s cute and helps keep me organized and motivated to plan out my meals." —Samantha M.

Promising review: "It really helped when we were out of a grocery item to just circle it on the list for the family, so when I ordered groceries I knew what we needed. It didn't stop the family from putting empty cartons in the refrigerator, but at least they let me know that we were out. LOL." —Live Laugh Love

Promising review: "10/10, would recommend. Got this initially for cleaning up the hair in my salon. It works perfectly! I love it. It’s so easy. This is AMAZING!!" —Alyssa

Each of the attachment has a sticky film that's strong enough to adhere it to your monitor, but easy enough to remove that it won't damage it.

Promising review: "I have 568 stickies on any given day and this is exactly what I needed to keep myself organized. They came packaged nicely, no cracks or scratches, and was easy to adhere. The adhesive is awesome. It's not going anywhere!!! I recommend this to anyone like me who needs a cool place for their notes. You will be the envy of your coworkers!" —Mason's Mom

Promising review: "Awesome product! There are four of us who were working together to feed the dogs. It simplified everything because I no longer have to text to see if anyone had fed them every morning. Now I just to see if it's green and if not, I feed them and indicate it. We all love it so much!" —Toni Deegan

Promising reviews: "I am obsessed with the smell. It's very relaxing and definitely helps me wind down and fall asleep faster than I would without using it. I pair the mist and a melatonin gummy and I'm out like a light. Highly recommend!!!" —Kari

"This stuff is miraculous! I bought the three-pack. I’m a migraine sufferer and am sensitive to many smells. I keep a bottle next to my bed, one by my chair in the living room and one for traveling. If I’m getting stressed or feel a headache coming on, just half a pump on the back of my chair helps so much. A pump of spray onto my pillow is relaxing." —arlene julian-punch

Tech Orbits is a small business that specializes in desk converters and office accessories. 

Promising review: "I've been looking at these for months and finally decided to buy one. Super happy with my purchase. I didn’t want to replace my entire work desk so I opted for this. The entire unit slides up and down easily. Plenty of room around the monitor for speakers, pens, notes, even a fan. easily assembly. Not too heavy. I’ve really enjoyed being able to stand at my desk. I’ve been struggling with lower back pain and standing more seems to be helping. I find myself wanting to stand more often than I thought." —halaly

Reviewers love this because it doesn't require you to "smart enable" other parts of your home. It's also a great way to turn on your kettle or coffee brewer from the other room so it's ready for you when you get out of bed! 

Note: You have to pair this with the Switchbot hub to use the voice control function and control it from anywhere. Otherwise, you can just control it using the app within Bluetooth range.

Promising review: "Super great! Comes with clear instructions, the mobile app is clear and well designed, and it's super easy to set the whole thing up. Honestly I'm really happy with the product. Now I don't have to get up all the time when I inevitably forget to turn the lights off. I can just hit the button on my phone and VOOP the little arm comes out and presses the switch!" —Noah R.

Sagely is a family-owned small business founded by husband-and-wife team Ellie Glazer and Ivor Miskulin, who spent three years designing the ideal, stress-free pill storage solution. The silicone lids are super secure, but also designed for gentle and easy opening and closing to account for users with dexterity issues.

Promising review: "Love this thing!!! I'm only 30 and didn't want an old lady pill box...and this one was modern and cool. The little slots to push in pills is fantastic and the containers are very large. It keeps my huge vitamin pills on either side and could fit over 10 large ones if needed. Love this thing. Worth the price and looks like it'll last forever. I do wish the magnets were stronger. They just keep them in place but will slide off if bumped. I assume this is helpful for people with arthritis. It's an easy fix. I take down one days worth of pills, set it on my counter and now I'm not too lazy to take my pills!" —Chicken McNugget

Promising review: "I drink coffee pretty much all day especially during the fall and winter. It was a hassle to go back and forth to the kitchen at work to warm my coffee. I saw this product and thought I’d try it and I absolutely LOVE it. It has a weight sensor so it turns on when you place your cup on the top plate and turns off when cup is lifted. I use it at work daily. I also think you could place a candle in a glass container on the warmer and it would work as well. My coffee is never too hot. It’s perfect. The only CON is that I wish it had a longer cord so I could move to a diff spot on my desk." —Kim bur lee

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has to say about them: "Hello, I'm a walking cliché of Woman In Her Mid-30s Who Is Very Obsessed With Protein, since it took me three decades to realize I'm in a much better mood all day if I cram it in at every opportunity. I'm very, VERY picky about the protein bars I'll eat — Barebells and Nick's are my go-tos — and these Built bars knocked it out of the park! They have a truly marshmallow-like consistency and the most ridiculously satisfying texture and chewiness. The flavors I've tried have all been spot-on, and they don't leave any kind of aftertaste. I am perpetually out and about and in need of a snack, so I have one of these in my purse at all times!"

For best results, replace spikes every 30 days in spring and summer; replace every 60 days in winter and fall.

Promising review: "I swear by these plant food spikes!!! The package says they are for indoor plants, but I actually use them for all of my outdoor plants, especially my herbs. I first tried these after planting some basil and other herbs that seemed to be taking an eternity to grow. I figured I'd give them a try since they were so inexpensive and wow!!!!! Within just a few days, my plants had grown more than double what they had grown in the previous several weeks!! One of my friends (who also enjoys gardening) came over to my house and was in awe of how big and healthy all of my herbs were. When I told her about these spikes, she went straight from my house to purchase some and had the exact same growth results." —GatorDO17

Promising review: "Great book with great advice. I've already read it and bought this as a gift for someone else. Actually, this is the third time I have bought it as a gift for someone. This is simple, common-sense information to get out of debt and to stay out of debt, so you can enjoy your money. If you are struggling or just trying to save some money, this is a good book to read. It's also a good book for a young couple just starting out or for someone recently graduated from high school. This book is good for anyone. Wholesome with a plan to help you! Who wants to be in debt?!! No one! I highly recommend the book!" —JN
