Check out a TikTok of the drink holder in action. 

Promising review: "This is so great! It feels very sturdy, holds the drinks very well, and I LOVE the engineering of it! Works well for hot or cold drinks, but best for tapered cups, not bottles or cans. The plastic is nice and thick, but the whole thing folds up small enough to fit in my car console. It has already attracted a lot of attention at the drive-through after I hold up my hand and say, 'No, I do not need a cup holder,' and show off my handy gadget. Let paper be thrown away, fewer spills, fewer trips to and from the car. You can even throw the handles of a small bag over the center handle, and your snacks are hands-free, too!" —Trace Tenn

It comes with two AAA batteries, but if you need more, get some here!

Promising review: "I bought this for my wife, hoping that she'd like it. Oh my goodness, it has gone from bag to bag to bag and is ALWAYS with her. It's just so easy to use, as there are no switches to worry about. You just put your hand inside the bag to look for something, and the light comes on. Once your hand is out of the bag, it turns off after a few seconds. So simple! I have bought several others since then as gifts, and they are universally well-liked by everyone who gets them. Fabulous product." —OJBRIT

Promising review: "This exceeded my expectations. The applicator brush glides smoothly, and most of all, the color! It is exactly as shown. It changes color depending on the angle. I will definitely buy more. I also like that it's easy to remove and it doesn't break or smudge." —Jamie P.

Ono is a small business specializing in compact, work-friendly fidgets for focus and stress relief. 

Promising review: "Great for office setting. Bought for my husband. He loves it! It's the only fidget toy he's been able to find that is quiet enough to bring to work (at a call-heavy job), and the silver color looks quite professional and so it makes a nice decoration on his desk when he's not using it. We would definitely buy it again." —Anna Cressman

Reviewers say it meets even Spirit and JetBlue's personal item rules!

Promising review: "One bag handled a week of travel! This bag is like magic! I fit four pairs of shorts, four shirts, underwear, socks, and a couple of workout outfits with sports bras, two pairs of sandals, four bathing suits, a coverup, a sun hat, toiletries, cosmetics, a laptop, a notebook, three device chargers (computer, phone, and Fitbit) and an electric toothbrush. Even when packed to the max, the weight is comfortably distributed so it doesn’t break your back. It fits under the seat perfectly, too. I bought it when it was 50% off, but I’d pay full price knowing how awesome this bag is for travel." —AlexanderK

Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in five sizes and 24 colors and styles).

Promising review: "What is this magic?? I had very little hope that these would work, but hey, I thought I'd give it a try because I have some tops with deodorant stains that don't come out in the wash. Well, these magical little sponges work. How? I have no idea. But they do. And I also use them to clean the cloth on my black running shoes when they start looking grungy. A few light swipes and voila!" —Alaska shopper

Promising review: "Fun little kitchen gadget — it really works. Bought this as a gift last January and ended up keeping it with the plan of buying several more to give as Christmas gifts this year." —KW

Promising reviews: "This is an amazing little speaker with a LOT of sound!!! I was surprised by the amount of bass it has! Definitely recommend!" —T Wagner

Food Cubby is a small business specializing in family-friendly kitchen accessories. 

Promising review: "I love these! Even as an adult, I hate my food touching. Thought they might keep things apart but not juices or things, but they really stick to the plate, and the meat juice doesn't run into the salad. It saves me from having different plates for each food. I wish I had these a long time ago." —Superbeckee

Promising review: "Repeat buyer here! This caddy went beyond my expectations! It is SOLIDLY built of quality wood and beautifully finished. No problem with it being displayed in the living room. I originally bought one for my brother, who was laid up after leg surgery. He loved having everything he needed on hand, as getting up was a real bother. I bought the second one for my husband to put on his living room chaise lounge. The ultimate luxury, feet up with everything on hand. Fits drinks, snacks, books, phones, etc. Once in place, it does NOT budge; load it up with confidence. Looks sharp on both the leather recliner and the upholstered chaise lounge. HIGHLY recommend for gift giving!" — YaYa23

Promising review: "This is a game changer, y'all! I'm awestruck! I have arthritis all over and a limited income, and this helped me clean every single wall in my bedroom in one day. I just rinsed out the yellow head in the sink every few square feet. I'm so excited and telling all my friends!" —Lou DeJesus

Promising review: "Perfect footrest, soft and comfortable. I work 10-hour days in my home office and this keeps me in my chair and on the job. Prior to purchasing this footrest, I experienced foot discomfort while sitting at my desk. It has been eliminated." —Katie Vento

Get it from Amazon for $41.95+ (available in two colors, two materials, and as a warming or tall version).

Promising review: "Magically helped my 3-year-old go to sleep. I don't know how it works, but since we started using this thing, my 3-year-old no longer throws a fit at bedtime. We say 'ok, the clock is telling us to sleep now,' and she just...goes to bed. It's a total game changer to the crying, screaming meltdowns we had before. She enjoys the noise machine function as well, and though we still have a few wake-ups here and there throughout the night, there's way less fuss with them. Then, she knows in the morning not to start asking for us to let her out until the clock says 'wake up time' by smiling with eyes open. I have no idea why this thing works, but it does. Totally worth the reduced aggravation every night!!!!" —Mimi

Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in four colors).

Diatomite stone absorbs water super fast, so no more wet countertops!

Promising review: "Excellent faucet mat for the kitchen sink! The absorbent stone tray quickly soaks up splashes, dries fast, prevents puddles, and keeps countertops clean. It's light weight, installs really easily, and is a pretty decent size for placement of sponges. It has sleek little suction cups for holding it on. The durable, sleek design fits perfectly around the faucet." —Rebecha

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in seven sizes and three colors).

Promising review: "I LOVE this snail. I mean, I knew he was gonna be cute, I was excited to get him in the mail, but the amount of joy he brings my household is ridiculous. This is one of my favorite things about my kitchen, and I have a damn cute kitchen. He isn't incredibly sturdy but he doesn't need to be, and for the price I have no qualms. He doesn't hold much soap at a time but again, he makes us so happy that we literally could not care less. I named him Frank and I smile every time I wash dishes. We even catch ourselves thanking him and saying hi to him now and then. 10/10 just buy the snail." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in three colors, as well as a set of three).

Promising review: "My significant other has a butt that wants to violently suffocate everyone. This was originally a gag (pun intended) gift, but when used, it actually worked. Most, if not all, of the smell went away with the particularly terrible poots. We joke that we should get some more." —Sunshine

Get a pack of five from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in a reusable version).

Promising review: "I have had this spatula since 2022. I reach for this one consistently above all my other spatulas, and I also use it instead of a butter knife for spreading. I absolutely love this tool. I have arthritis in one hand from a surgery, and the shape of the platypus also helps with that. It cleans off very easily, and still looks brand-new." —Thomas Norton

Get it from Amazon for $14.95 (also available in a cat and parrot version).

Handmade by Michelle B's Embroidery is a small biz based in Tennessee!

Promising review: "Made well! And so adorable. I leave it hung on my rearview mirror, and I'm never without my Aldi quarter. 😄 Bought one for my cousin. And I plan on buying more!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Bought this for a serotonin boost because it’s ridiculously cute. Little did I know how utterly functional it is. No more cracking eggs while dropping them into the pot, no more fishing them out, no more putting them back into the damp cardboard carton where they inevitably are forgotten right next to the equally neglected bag of spring mix. Just in the pot, out of the pot, into the fridge, where they cutely greet me every time I open the door. Gives me five seconds of joy every time. Highly recommend." —Kitty M.

Get it from Amazon for $19.90 (also available in a bear version). 

Promising review: "OMG! This thing is awesome! It’s so fast at pressing garlic. It gets way more garlic out than my other one I have to peel the cloves to use. It scrapes it so no more knife to scrape it, and it just flicks out like a dream. It’s super heavy-duty; I have the metal one with the red scraper. The scraper and flicker are plastic but seem sturdy. It really is ingenious. It’s expensive, but if you double all garlic in recipes like we do, you will love it!" —Barbara Cox

Check out a TikTok of the Portawipes in action. 

Portawipes is a small business that specializes in personal care products for travel. 

Promising review: "I kept some of these in my fanny pack and backpack while traveling. I used them when bathrooms didn't have any toilet paper, and also for cleaning spills or washing my hands when out and about. Really nice to have them around for peace of mind. Easy to use with just a few drops of water to make them expand, or add more for cleaning." —Chamomile

Get a 100-pack from Amazon for $14.27 (also available in larger quantities and multi-packs).

Promising review: "I bought this last month, and I love it! I've never been a fan of the key hanger by the front door (it never felt safe to me), but I always end up turning my apartment upside down, looking for my keys. This is a cute and fun place to remember to grab my keys when I am heading out, and it's endearing to return them to the goose when I come home." —JAK

Get it from Amazon for $16.54 (available in two styles).

Promising review: "I'm in love with this!! Such a life-changer. Works great, very strong, and even goes into the dishwasher. Yes, yes, yes!" —michal

Promising review: "Hands-down, one of the coolest and cutest kitchen gadgets I own. I bought this pitter because my father is a HUGE Bing cherry fan. When cherry season is in, you can guarantee he'll be sitting in his recliner with a bowl full of cherries. He normally eats cherries and pits them in his mouth, but in his older age, I worried about him cracking a tooth or choking on the pit. So I bought this pitter, and it was an INSTANT hit! He loved how cute it was, and the pitter does an amazing job. Easy to use, not a ton of force needed, and then the pits are in one place and easy to throw away!" —cocade27

Promising review: "I cannot live without these for 12-hour hospital shifts. This is an unbelievable product! I work 12-hour shifts in the hospital and need protection for the corn on my left big toe. I purchased size large, and it fit well. Underneath my socks and athletic shoes, I completely forgot I was wearing them — bonus! The silicone is very soft and flexible, and cleans easily. The product is priced well for the quality and quantity that is provided. Would absolutely recommend this since it's held up quite well for the 17 hours I often have it on (from the time I wake up until I'm back from my shift). Cleans and dries easily and has maintained its shape." —LJ

Promising review: "Everything about this product is so unpretentious and earnest, from the burger itself to the packaging. It makes me smile every time I look at it. I don't even have a landline, though I intend to use it with a cell phone adapter in the future." —Joshua

Promising review: "This thing is awesome! Initially, I was hesitant that it would squish the little guys or they would fall out in transport, but it's great! Highly recommend! Sorry, little guy, your GPS brought you into my house. I will help you find your way back outside. :)" —Crystal R

Promising review: "On days when everything seems like a dumpster fire, it brings me a little joy to glance down and see this cute little desktop item. The paper flames are cute but fairly tiny for notes, but they would do the trick if necessary. In these post-pandemic times, I use the side without the flame paper to hold some travel sanitizer bottles. I really like that the dumpster lids can open and close." —jigglypuff

Promising review: "A beautiful statement piece! High quality, easy to assemble, and truly puts the fun in functional!" —Marvin D.

The sugar-free powder packets come in easy-to-carry sleeves.
