Promising review: "The adults in this house love water balloons but not the mess…plus with toddlers around, it didn't quite make sense to have water balloons but we saw a random video on TikTok and HAD to find reusable water balloons to try out. These were the first ones we bought to try out, and WHOA we were blown away! Super easy to for the 2- and 3-year-old to use, which means more fun for all of us!! Do not think twice or continue with regular water balloons, you’ll waste precious time cleaning up and filling that could be used to make memories." —Taurus

Promising review: "I got this bubble gun for my friend's little boy for his birthday. There were a ton of kids, so I thought it would be the perfect addition. The package comes with a ton of bubbles to use. The set up was quick and easy. You do have to refill the bubbles after each pull of the trigger but it was such a hit at the party. We turned the lights off so the kids could see the fun lights! Totally recommend! All the adults said they wanted one for themselves, lol." —maegan fasnacht

Promising review: "Barry the Bear is such a cute cheese grater! Perhaps the cutest in the world! I am biased though because my husband and I love bears. We use Barry every taco night to grate the cheese because he works really well. Much better than box graters. He is super easy to clean. I hand wash and towel dry him. I actually think that Barry is easier to clean than my old cheese grater because he comes apart and snaps back together. Box graters do not. When he is not being used, Barry stands up on his own on the counter. I’m glad I bought him! If you love bears and cheese, Barry is for you!" —Favorite Girl

Promising review: "A few of my coworkers chipped in and bought our departmental mascot, whom we've dubbed Larry the Llama. We love this little guy! And bonus: He's quite functional. Our desks get pretty dusty, and Larry helps get all that muck off our desks. And he's adorably handsome. He can be bent into three different positions: 90 degrees, 45 degrees, and completely straight. This makes him more effective at cleaning our desks, and allows him to be positioned in few different ways when he's just chilling out watching us work. Here he is, peering over the cube wall, watching me work. He can be a nosy little llama." —Vegan-ish Mom Geek

Promising review: "I don't know what I did without a Wet Brush. At first I was worried, I saw a lot of bad reviews for the larger Wet Brush but glad I still went for the mini! I love this little brush so much! It really does work on my hair, I can feel the difference while combing it wet or dry. The bristles are soft and move with each comb while untangling at the same time. I love the small compact size of it and the green leaf design 🍃✨💚 so cute! My hair is to my lower back in length, medium thickness. I wear it straight or wavy. I would definitely recommend this product!" —EmiLove

Promising review: "It's so cute. It gives me so much serotonin drinking from it and having it on my desk. I'm always craving any sort of liquid so I do drink it pretty fast, but I just keep a refill close. The cup makes it worth the trip to refill." —PoisonedTendrils

Shower Cat is a small business established in 2021 specializing in products to prevent shower clogs.

Promising review: "I first saw this product on TikTok and I knew immediately that I needed it. I just moved into a new apartment and I didn't want to be how I used to be, where I’d just let hair go down the drain and plug it eventually, or peel it off of the drain after each shower. It works great but I probably need some practice with it. I currently just floss my hair through it so it will hold them and there are a few stray hairs that don't stick. I would recommend to anyone who is tired of putting your loose strands of hair on the shower wall." —Cari Schwartzkopf

Get it from Amazon for $14.95.

Promising review: "Most genius vase. The flowers last so much longer, because you can change the water and snip the stems, to keep bacteria from growing and killing your flowers. It's also beautiful as a vase itself, super modern, and chic." —Eliezer Labkowsky

Promising review: "First time using this and WOW!!!! The bubbles are strong and it feels like a being in a hot tub! Great to alternate the levels of flow from a touch of a button, the remote is nice. No problem with the suction cups, the mat stayed in place. Something relaxing to look forward to after work or managing pain from an old, but lifelong injury, though this is not a medical device. The motor isn't too loud but noticeable and It adds to the hot tub feel. LUX FOR SMALL BUCKS! Thank you for bringing luxury to the home at an affordable cost! I hope this unit lasts a very long time. <3" —Michelle

Promising review: "I am so happy with this purchase. I spent a lot of time looking at reviews for plastic gems so I could hide them when my almost 3-year-old granddaughter comes to visit me; so many of the listings I visited had disappointed buyers because the product they received wasn't as described. These gems are as big as the palm of my granddaughter's hand and they are bright. The chest won't last long because it's cheap plastic, but the gems themselves are what I'm interested in, and they are perfect for my purposes. I highly recommend this product." —Chris S
