All-Purpse Moldable Glue/Adhesive
⭐⭐⭐⭐
“The GOOD: multiple colors, malleable, turns into a “hard rubber” on curing (not a plastic, still slightly soft, like a basketball), gives you the chance to fix things in the “plastic” world with more than just glue and hope.The BAD: once you open a packet, it’s use it or lose it.” Read More – Malcolm

Skateboard Tricks Training Silicone Bands
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Hello Internet! I can skateboard, but I couldn’t Ollie! Now I can! It’s simply unrealistic to practice Ollies on grass. While you stay steady, you never get that “kick off the ground” sound.With the SkaterTrainer, I learned to Ollie my first day; in one hour no less.” Read More – Christenstock
Plant Based Vegan Protein Powder
⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I had previously been using Orgain Chocolate Fudge protein powder which is delicious but the Stevia was making my joints ache terribly.

Pet Grooming Glove
⭐⭐⭐⭐
” We have four LOVE ly furry feline friends who live with us. After replacing all our carpet with flooring we noticed major hair balls floating everywhere like tumbleweeds through the house.

RPM Cycling Cadence Sensor
⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I bought this specifically to use with my Sunny Bike & Peloton Digital app. I didn’t realize how much the Peloton app relies on Cadence. This sensor makes the workout .. without it, you really can’t use the Peleton app. You can now connect to the Wahoo sensor directly from your Peleton workout on the app & it shows the Candence right on the Peloton app screen.” Read More – shalane

Waffle Maker Machine for Individual Servings
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I LOVE the aqua color of the Dash Express Waffle Maker. The size is perfect, in the photos I put it next to the dash sandwich maker for comparison. It is easy to store, but cute enough to leave on the counter, because it is getting a ton ofuse between me, my husband, and oldest child.” Read More – Jessica Hude
Taco vs Burrito Strategic Card Game
⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Taco vs Burrito plays a lot like Uno, but with funnier cards. Much like Uno, you can sabotage your opponents, or be nice; whatever suits your playstyle. You can totally play with only 2 players, but more people means more opportunities for mischiefand mayhem!Pros:- easy to learn how to play (each Action card tells you how to use it)- setup and teardown are super simple (no dice or color-coded gamepieces to lose and step on later)- gameplay is quick and easy (10 min/game; no Monopoly marathons here!)- amusing food ingredients (creative/gross foods will give you a chuckle)- once you master the basic game, there are many variations that keep the game interesting- my 7-year-old does enjoy this game a lot, and I don’t mind playing 1-on-1 (it’s more strategic and exciting with more people)Cons:- the game box is ridiculously hard to open, for some reason.” Read More – Dorolei
Travel Make-up Container

Silicone Resuable Storage Bag
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I’ve tried a LOT of reusable bags as there are a lot of options out there all using a variety of materials. The fabric ones just get gross over time.

Heart Rate Monitor
⭐⭐⭐⭐
“When I connected the strap to the sensor, then went to the Wahoo Element Bolt screen to add the device, I discovered it had already been discovered and added. I did not have to do anything.It runs automatically as soon as you wrap it around your torso and the Element is on, measuring your heart rate, even before you start biking.” Read More – Rebecca McGrath
Liquid Solution Turkey Brining Bags
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“These bags are very thick plastic and they are quite large. I have a 22 lb turkey that I’m brining for thanksgiving and there was plenty of space even with the liquid and turkey together. From my research, the best way to brine is to put the turkey upside down in the bag so that the breasts are submerged in the brine.” Read More – M. Cargill
Mini Waffle Maker
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I had no idea what a small waffle maker could do for my life. LOL.This has only one big flaw. The handle that sticks out in the front is either not big enough or just not designed well, so you can burn yourself trying to lift it. I either use a fork to knock it upwards after cooking (because it tends to stick a bit) or I use a mitten.” Read More – Amazon Customer
Manual Coffee Grinder
⭐⭐⭐⭐
“About 4 months ago, my wife bought us an espresso maker for our anniversary. After seeing prices upwards of $100 for every electric burr grinder out there, we decided to go with this little guy instead. Now, after having two of these grinders and making espressos every day (no that is not a joke, and yes, we like our coffee), there are four big takeaways:0) First off, this thing grinds quite well, which it should since that’s is sole job (but see #2).” Read More – Haon the great Top Contributor: Chess
Circuit Maze Game
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

No-Tie Shoelaces
⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Arrived on time, and not damaged. These are pretty awesome. For the record, I am not replacing all of our shoes with these as I still feel that tying shoe laces is an integral skill to have (think of all the things you tie all the time, and a lot of that muscle memory came from tying your shoes everyday!).” Read More – rocketrac07Top Contributor: Baseball
Security Indoor Camera with Moition Detection
⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I LOVE this WYZE camera! This is the 6th one I have purchased! For the price, you can’t do better.

Brining and Overn Bag Compo

Cruiser Longboard Skateboard
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I really don’t know where to start with this review, but I am currently 50 years old, and I have been riding skateboards for around 44 years, starting with the old skinny plastic cheap ones. (you know, the one you got your first set of stitches at the doctors office from?)

“Never has a foot care product taken me on such an emotional journey. Let’s go through the phases and emotions I experienced using this product.1. Shame. I was ashamed of the condition my feet were in. Too bad for a pedicure, nobody wants these feet in their face.” Read More – Amazon Customer
USB Ports Car Charger
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“This definitely is a rapid charger and with a family of six and multiple devices per person, we LOVE d the extension to the rear seats.With each device that got plugged in, the charger slowed down.

Serrated Piranha “Swivel” Peeler
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I was using an old Ekco peeler for many years. It was the same supermarket type one my mother had when I was a kid. I’ve been married over 40 years and probably got it for my bridal shower. Around 10 years ago I either lost it or it finally broke.I have never been able to find a peeler I like since then.” Read More – Richie

I am very please to say that tonight i did up steaks in it and it held true.” Read More – Darcy

Wooden Record Holder Shelf
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Suits my needs very well. Very simple to assemble. The stain & wood grain is very beautiful. Good structural integrity to this piece. Only disadvantage is that the metal pieces meant to hold up your vinyl collection do bend under the weight of your records! This, however, did not sway me from rating this product 5 stars; I still feel as though I got my money’s worth.” Read More – Zoe Jans
Chewbacca 2-in-1 Hoodie and Plushie
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Ok, I am giving five stars but must say the product does have some quirks. First and foremost, the initial quality and concept are awesome. As a Star Wars fan I am geeking out more than my son. The embroidery, screen print, and fabrics used are great .” Read More – Ken

They are small and fit right inside the ear, no boom beside the cheek or wire over the ear.” Read More – Mark Herron
Mini Rice Cooker
⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I like rice but my husband doesn’t so I got this mini rice cooker as a gift for myself. I’ve had it about a month and it’s great . Put in the rice, put in the water and press cook and that’s it. I wondered if the warming feature that takesover after cooking is done would make the rice over cook, but I’ve gotten perfect sticky rice the way I like it every time.” Read More – Mimi
Buffalo Games 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle
⭐⭐⭐⭐
“While it is an intricate puzzle and takes a bit of time to complete, it is a beautiful high quality puzzle. I see many reviews that state “pieces fit in the wrong places”.
