“I got a weighted blanket for Christmas. I didn’t get the hype until I had one but it really is soooooo comforting,” -Rachel L.
“Our laundry room has too much floor space occupied by shoes so I ordered this shoe rack to restore order to the mud room/laundry room. This was easy to put together and seems sturdy enough to hold a lot of shoes” -Greg F.
“I got this space heater for my mom. She had an ancient one in her guestroom that my brother and I deemed unsafe so we swapped with this one, which is small, quiet and nice-looking — and pumps out some good heat” -Janelle F.
“I gifted this credit card organizer to my mom for Christmas, and liked it so much, I purchased another one for myself. It’s an easy way to transfer cards from one purse to another” -Kerri H.
“I bought an AeroPress to give as a gift for a fellow coffee lover/someone who loves camping. These make really great gifts as they are easily transportable but still make a great cup of coffee” -Sarah R.
“I am equally excited about this tofu press. I have used a combo of plates and kitchen towels to “press” tofu in the past and that just makes for a bunch of soggy towels and plates that need to be washed” -Greg. F
