A portable charger so small it’ll likely fit in the same pocket as the very phone on 3% battery. And don’t confuse this charger’s size for its power because it can take their phone from 0% to 50% in only 30 minutes.
Amazon
Promising review: “This is my first purchase from this company’s line of batteries, and I am extremely thrilled. I have a Samsung Galaxy S9+ plus and finding battery chargers that consistently and reliably charge has been a hassle. But this little battery has been incredible. Plus, it says 10,000 mAh, but I swear it’s much more than that. I have charged my phone two and a half times from 10% to full charge and this battery STILL has 38% charge remaining! I have bought many battery chargers in my life, and this is, by far, the best one I’ve ever used.” —WestcoastJack

A creamy face cleanser that removes makeup and exfoliates pores with its blend of turmeric, sunflower and ginger root oils.

Promising review: “I was looking for a clean makeup remover and tried this. It took my waterproof eyeliner and mascara right off and left none of that oily film over my eyeballs like other cleansing balms have. And the scent is wonderful! It’s very fresh and fruity and is just a lovely sensory experience. After rinsing, it left my face feeling clean but not dried out or tight. I will definitely be making this my go to makeup remover from now on.” —Corrine88

Promising review: “I bought this product because wearing a face mask makes my glasses fog, even with the metal strip to form around the bridge of my nose. It works all day with only one application, unless I have been doing a lot of activity, then I might have to reapply. Just spray it on the clean lenses of your glasses then wipe dry with a clean dry lintless cloth, as simple as that. I was so impressed that I gave my second bottle to my team members for them to use. Delivery was fast. I highly recommend this product from this company. I would not hesitate to buy this again when I need more in the future.” —Tonya Crippen

Promising review: “I really like the gratitude boxes for each day because it really forces me to reflect even if for just a moment.

I love the goal-setting and tracking capabilities and the space for thoughts at the bottom. I definitely recommend this planner to really everyone.

A pack of hydrocolloid acne patches you just place on top of any pimples overnight so you wake up to fewer whiteheads. That zit *won’t* ruin picture day!

I spent my workday looking forward to going home and putting one of these bad boys on my newly erupted Mt. Zit, and the overnight results were shocking. Not only is it grossly satisfying, but it saved me several days of walking around with a bloody crater on my face because my previous method of dealing with unsightly blemishes was to pick pick pick.” —Adg

A three-pack of Tide To Go for those of us who have a tendency to spill coffee, wine, spaghetti sauce, soy sauce…you get the picture.
Promising review: “These were a lifesaver. I was walking to the bus and decided it was a great decision to drink coffee while walking. Like a scene from an infomercial, I spilled coffee all over my white shirt. Yes, the classic coffee on the white shirt. Luckily I had one of these in my bag (I put one in each of my most-used purses in anticipation of my clumsiness). I went into a store bathroom and quickly scrubbed the Tide To Go on my shirt. All of the coffee blobs went away and once the awkward wet splotches dried up, my shirt was perfectly white again. You’ve got yourself a big fan, Tide.” —NAD

A rose gold detangling brush that’ll make you feel like a princess while it gently rids your locks of knots.
Amazon
Promising review: “This does wonders for my hair and makes brushing so much easier. I have very fine hair, but tons and tons of it, which makes brushing difficult at times as it tangles so easily. This brush really helps with that and keeps me from having to re-brush my hair every couple hours. It also doesn’t pull the natural waves out of my hair, like so many other brushes did. So my hair is wavy and untangled within a couple of minutes. The ergonomic hold took a little getting used to, but it’s much more comfortable than the usual oval paddle end of most brushes. It gives you more control, which makes it easier.” —L

A lightweight Dyson vacuum that won’t break your back as you carry it around the house to clean different rooms. Just charge this vac, and take it for a deep-cleaning spin to rid your home of 2020’s bad vibes.
Amazon, amazon.com
Promising review: “It was time to replace our old Dyson cord vacuum. Since it had performed so well over the course of 17 years, I immediately looked to Dyson again. I admit I was a bit skeptical that a smaller stick vacuum could do the job in an almost 2,000-sq-ft house. We are senior citizens who have an active lifestyle, live in the mountains off of dusty roads, have house cats and two Aussie dogs. Since we also have horses and acreage, we are busy and the cleaning sometimes takes a lower priority. I wanted something that was easy to use, quick, and not having to drag a cord around sounded really good! I really, really like this handy and powerful vacuum. I was concerned about the small size of the bin, and how often I might need to dump it. But after using it to vacuum most of the house, I’m no longer concerned. And…it did a great job, our area rugs look great, and it moves so easily to our hardwood floors. One really big plus for us is that it runs off battery charge. We live off the grid and generate our own electricity with solar and wind. On cloudy, windless days, I was basically forbidden to vacuum, unless I started a generator. But now, I can have a charge ready and get it done! Couldn’t be happier. Can definitely recommend this product!” —Debra Mickelson

The Power of Now — Oprah Winfrey-approved, this self-help book will guide you on your spiritual journey towards self-discovery, deepening your understanding of being present.
New World Library
Promising review: “I have over 25 years of experience as a clinical psychologist. This is hands down the best self-help book I have ever come across, and can not fathom why the very simple and straightforward concepts Tolle presents were never once mentioned in my grad school training or any of the countless professional development workshops I have attended over the years. If you are dealing with depression and/or anxiety, this is the book to get. But you need to read it slowly, to take it in bit by bit, and actually pause to practice what he is explaining in each section to benefit from it. You can’t just skim it and expect to understand it in a way that will open your life and help you experience the freedom and ease of this very moment. I keep it by my bed and re-read sections all the time” —Amazon Customer

Promising review: “I loved this set! I really wanted to delve a little deeper into my yoga practice and this set was perfect! The mat is a comfortable thickness; it’s not so firm that it puts more pressure on fragile ankles, but is firm enough that you feel confident in your practice. The blocks are awesome!
