Promising review: "I bought two of these to give as gifts to my mom and to my best friend. For my mom I filled the reel with pictures from her life leading up to her granddaughter being born! She absolutely loved it. My best friend recently lost her father so I made a reel in memory of him and she loved it! And it's great that once you have the viewer you can order as many reels as you want!" —Lauren

Promising review: "This is the best thing since sliced bread! No need to spend a small fortune drinking lattes from overpriced venues. A bit of warmed milk, half and half, cream or dairy substitute, and I am my own successful barista. It takes only a few minutes to create your highly valued, frothy latte. It takes the same or sometimes less amount of time to clean it. I am in love with this frother. No need to pay for multiple, expensive attachments that you don't need. Warm your dairy/non-dairy source, add your spices, and froth away — light, heavy, just right. You make it your way, and for a lot less." —SMP

All you need now are a few drops of essential oil!

Promising review: "I've been looking for a diffuser that actually works and have to say that I couldn't be happier with this aroma diffuser. With the time settings, I'm never worried about it running too long and the lights are a great bonus! It works like a charm and fills my living room with scents from my therapeutic essential oils. I get compliments every time I have guests." —Daryl O.

The gentle bristles pick up bugs without hurting them so they can be safely chucked outside. Everybody wins!

Promising review: "For months, I've had big ugly wolf spiders invading my home. They're not venomous, but for a long-time arachnophobe they're a real disturbance. One big fella, with a body about 2" long (!), popped up in my bathtub while I was showering. After a week-long stalemate (he couldn't climb out, and I wouldn't climb in), I got this nifty device — and IT WORKS! The bristles easily captured the spider and I was finally able to dispose of him. Hallelujah, I can shower again!" —Jeannine DeWald

Promising review: "I was really impressed with this product as far as how easy it was to operate and also how durable the plastic repair has been. I have used it to repair a cooler whose lid broke off and fix the arm of a ceramic turtle that my girlfriend bought for me. Both worked great and I still have plenty of plastic left for other repairs." —Anthony

Promising review: "This was a Christmas present for my son, and he really loves it. It's a great little camera and super fun with the instant Polaroid film. I had the original camera when I was a little girl and the photos are similar although half the size (mini). It's a fun little camera to play around with. If this is the type of camera you are wanting, then this one does the job well." —Vicki

Promising review: "This is an amazing product. I couldn't figure out why it was so expensive (to me anyway) until I realized how much work it is to keep a hydroponic garden growing. With the AeroGarden, all the work is done for you. It's quick and easy to set up, takes minutes, literally, to get it going. We're looking forward to growing salad and herbs, especially during this time when we can't all go to the store and we're stuck at home. Fresh will be a real treat. Every one in my family owns one." —TheAssemblagist

This incredibly neat gadget does it all: It scans for depth, measures casting ranges, monitors hows targets react to different presentations, and is great for shore, boat, and kayak fishing. The sonar has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity so they have instant access to the data straight on their device.

Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).

Promising review: "As someone who almost always fishes from shore this is amazing for seeing what is below the water. I can finally see what the area I am fishing looks like beyond what I can physically see. I have compared what the Deeper shows me with a map of the lake and have found it is pretty accurate. I am still getting used to it but it is nice to see how deep the water gets and how fast it gets deep for lure selection. The map function is nice but a little problematic for fishing from shore. To make a good map you would have to cast straight out reel in then walk 5-15 feet over cast straight out and reel in. I really see it being better for a kayak or other small boat. Never the less it is an interesting function." —Pat

This should not be pointed at or used on humans or animals.

Promising review: "This is a beautifully designed product. It shoots a consistent pattern that will knock down flies and wasps at up to 4 feet away. You can use it indoors, not much salt comes out with each blast. If you do use it indoors, make sure you aren't shooting at windows coated with interior window films; the salt will scratch these. Don't buy this for a young kid. The salt can do serious damage to eyes, and the gun requires more strength to cock than most 11-year-olds have." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $29.99.

I just got one of these snazzy kitchen gadgets, and now every time I use it I think to myself, "How was I living life before this thing?!" It finely grinds salt down to that nice flaky texture, and then easy pops out the pod if I want to use pepper. I even got a different type of pod ideal for more oily spices (think mustard or flax seed). Now I am looking for reasons to use this thing... Salt on cake???

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (also available in red and black; comes with grinder and two interchangeable pods).

Reviewers note that it doesn't work on all touch screens, so keep that in mind!

Promising review: "I love this!!! Really comes in handy with so many different situations. I use it to open doors to stores that aren't automatic, when I pay with my debit card to punch in the buttons on the keypad, and at the ATM. My family has seen this in action and purchased it for themselves. As more people I know see it, they order it because it really is a fantastic product." —lilady

Promising review: "Of all the things I have bought that I didn't need, this is one of my favorites. Beer is hard to get out of the cardboard carrier in the top of my fridge. While just taking them out and sitting them on the shelf would have solved this problem as well, this solution is more fun. They float and technically it does make a tiny bit of extra space under the beer for small thinks like cheese or something." —AbbyValentine

Promising review: "This cleaner is so convenient and works really well. I gave it to my husband for Father's Day and we finally had a chance to get out on the course last weekend. The scrub pad gets off stubborn dirt and grass stains and the towel is handy to have right there. All the little gizmos on it are so useful! I would highly recommend for any golfer or to gift to a golfing friend or family member." —Karen

Promising review: "Love these lights. I can charge my iPhone 5S from 14% to 100% in about an hour. The quality of light is a bright warm flood and not the cool blue LED look. They are very lightweight and are replacing all my camping lanterns. They will not sit flat due to the inflation valves and USB port, so they do not provide great side light but as an overhead flood they are awesome." —Kaztheatre

Promising review: "After reading lots of reviews on several different towel warmers, I bought this product for my mom for Christmas. I tested it out before giving it to her. It was works great! The timer looks so sleek and fancy. Even at only 15 minutes, you get a nice warm towel! 10/10 would recommend! Already thinking of buying one for myself!" —Kaylee Sierra

Get it from Amazon for $139.99.

Promising review: "Very sturdy thermal bottle holder with a sealed fit at the top. I have used it several times already to keep my sauvignon blanc cool/cold. I use it in my Texas backyard, and it has kept the bottle cold for at least two hours (after that, there was none left). I tried out my favorite champagne bottle, and it fits perfectly. No need to hassle with an ice bucket." —John

BuzzFeed writer Rachel literally wrote an entire love letter to these. You can read her full review here, but here's a tidbit:

"The main selling point to me is just how slender all of the components are. I can sleep completely normally with them on — I'm never thinking about navigating the speakers or battery when I toss and turn because I can barely feel them. My ear rests naturally and comfortably on my pillow, even with the headphones on." —Rachel Dunkel

It has 10 pressure settings, seven water flossing tips, and 90 seconds of water capacity.

Promising review: "I love this product. It makes your mouth feel so clean. After using it for several weeks, I noticed several things: no more bad breath, no more bad taste in my mouth, my gums are much healthier, no more bleeding, and my teeth are less sensitive at the gum line. This is, by far, one of the best buys I've made this year. I highly recommend for folks with a lot of crowns, receding gum lines, pockets, or if you are not great at flossing due to bleeding or teeth so close that it's difficult to floss." —JS

One BuzzFeed editor swears by this cleansing brush:

"Look, I'm not new to face cleansing machines — I had a Clarisonic Mia, which I tried for long stretches of time over several years, but just never fell in love with. *None* of the brush heads were soft enough to use on my sensitive skin every day. And whenever I tried to use it for a weekly exfoliation, more often than not the battery would have run out from just sitting in my drawer. The most annoying part? Buying super expensive replacement heads. But unlike the Clarisonic, this beauty stays charged for 300 uses (using it twice a day, that's up to five months!), and requires 0.0 replacement heads. Ever." —Maitland Quitmeyer

Get it from Foreo for $159 (available in five colors).

Promising review: "This is my first running watch, and I could not be happier. It tracks all your statistics in an easy-to-understand format. Heart rate, distance, your route, speed overall, mile splits, cadence — you name it, and it seems to do it. The app you put on your phone or computer is awesome also. It comes set up and ready to go. I received mine on a Friday and ran a 10k on Saturday morning. Sure has made running more efficient and fun. But it is a computer, so expect a few glitches every now and then. All in all, this is a lot of watch for the price. My son is a personal trainer, and he says it is one of the most popular watches liked by his clients." —Stephen Perreault

Get it from Urban Outfitters for $49.95 (originally $59.95).

Promising review: "Just got this cool new gadget! So sick of never having a clip for the million bags of chips my daily opens. This sealer worked great. Heated up in like 40 seconds and sealed this chip bag in seconds, and now I don't have to find a clip! I'm sure the chips will stay fresh much longer too since it's sealed like I just bought it! Would recommend!" —Stacy0814

How does anything get more fun than this?!

Promising Review: "I DREAD cleaning my makeup brushes and I have tried SO many things to make it easier. This machine is a game changer for me!!! I am only upset that I did not find it sooner. It was easy to set up and even easier to use. I love the setup of everything and how easy it was to clean my brushes. I actually look forward to seeing all the dirt spin out and to see the difference this makes. Not only is it easier to use, faster than my previous ways but it also cleans my brushes thoroughly." —BJF

Promising review: "Such a neat item! I purchased this for my husband's hunting trip and he's truly enjoyed the handiness of the light. He said it provided extra light in the dark wilderness. The light is compact and easy-to-charge. It lasted multiple days from one charge. Also, the different light modes are fun and one can even have a party with the blinking effect!" —Elena
