Check out a TikTok of the Ninja Creami in action.
Reviewers with dietary restrictions and preferences love being able to customize their own treats, and many point out that this will likely save you money, with the cost of specialty ice creams these days!
Promising review: “This is my favorite gift. I use it at least five times a week. The size of the containers is perfect for when you want a sweet treat, and I love that you can control the consistency and softness of the way they come out. Fairly easy to clean as well.” — Luke Johnson
Promising review: “These are the most comfortable over-the-ear headphones I have ever used. Sound quality and noise cancellation is amazing. I can sleep with these on for hours. I work the night shift and drown out the surrounding noise from the kids in order for me to sleep before work! Well, let me tell you, these will give you the quietness you need.” — Suecarla Adams
Promising review: “I was on the fence about these based on other reviews, but, let me say, I absolutely love them! First, I have tragus piercings, and regular earbuds are never comfortable. Second, I am always on the move inside and outside in the yard. I always hated having to stop what I was doing every time someone needed me for something (which is all the time!). These earphones allow me to enjoy my tunes yet still hear when someone talks to me. Third, the immersive audio setting makes the sound awesome. It literally feels like the music is somewhere in your head. I absolutely love these and personally think they are worth the price.” — Catherine G.

Promising review: “We got this for my mom so she can gift it to our baby son one day. She loved it! The pages are great and filled with lots go guided questions for her to answer. There is even an envelope in the back for her to store photos. It’s durable and a hard cover. It was a bit larger than we expected, but it makes such a sweet gift!!” — Jenn Dryman

Pattern is a small business founded by Tracee Ellis Ross that specializes in haircare products for curls, coils, and tight textures.
Promising review: “I’ve used Pattern products since they were initially released and have recommended them to my sisters. The three of us have different hair types, and this is a great product that works for all of us. First off, the color is super cute, and it’s refreshing to have this in a unique color. The attachments are great and work well for all of us. One of us has super thick curly hair, another thick wave, and another has lots of fine, straighter hair. The attachments help us style our hair differently. We also liked how the hairdryer wasn’t heavy, super loud, and hurting our ears.” — The Dosh

Promising review: “I cannot say enough good things! Size perfect! Not too large, not too small, it’s the Goldilocks of countertop ovens. And it’s so pretty, too. Does everything you want it to do. After reading reviews about how people just hand wash the basket, I was skeptical, but I have to tell you, no matter what you cook in, it is soooo easy to hand wash and comes out looking new. The air fry option is truly the best I’ve experienced thus far, not to mention the other, like, 10 cooking options you have. The price is shockingly low for this beauty, and I cannot recommend it enough.” — Karen
Promising review: “This replaces the daily drive through Starbucks. It makes all sorts of hot and cold drinks easily. Fully automatic, so it’s easy to program and have your barista drink ready in no time. The coolest thing would be the cold brew feature and pretty much all of the iced drinks. Espresso and Americanos come out nice, too. Bean quality and how you program your drink make a big difference, too! Definitely buy this machine if you want to make your life easier.” — Jennifer Toomata

Each book is divided into “lessons,” which include writing prompts, visual exercises, and reflections from Oprah, and close with reflective journal prompts.
Promising review: “We are training our puppy, and I needed a fanny pack with a sizable and easy-to-clean treat pouch. It matches her collar that we have too. I can easily fit my phone (iPhone 14 pro), house keys, lip balm, hand sanitizer, and anything else I need to grab. The separate pocket for treats has a great, easily wipeable liner and fits DAYS worth of training treats. The dog poop bag holder is the best addition! High quality that doesn’t feel like it’s going to just fall apart.” — Mallory

Promising review: “I bought this book for my granddaughter, who’s 10 years old, and had her read to me for discussion, and she has enjoyed reading it. Each day she would do her homework and then pick up this book without me reminding her to read. She said it was very interesting and learned more about money. Thanks, Melody, for writing this book.” — Trendy Mommy

Promising review: “I went to a wedding, and this purse was perfect. It has an adjustable strap and plenty of room inside. The extra special thing was the change of color. So fun when the lights went down. I had on a black dress and had some many colors I could have changed The Color Me clutch to match my outfit. I totally recommend.” – Kelsey coleman

Promising review: “I bought this scarf for my elderly mother, who is always cold on her neighborhood walks. She absolutely loves it! It’s really soft and warm. The pull-through stays secure and has good stitching on the hole. The scarf is a good length and not overly bulky. The grey is a pretty color. ( I’m thinking of buying one for myself!) Thanks for making a little old lady happy for Christmas!” — sprucehen

Promising review: “I purchased 3–6 months, 4T, and size six. All sizes are wonderful. The fabric is so soft and breathable. These are not too tight and my kids will have a long time of wearing them. My boys love matching clothes, and it is hard finding sizes for infants, toddlers, and children, these are well-made and fit all my kids. The pattern is adorable, and I haven’t seen it anywhere else or anything similar. These will be a favorite in our home for a while.” — M.S.
The one hundred questions are often open-ended and thoughtful, like “What would it take to feel truly rested?” and “What doorway is open to you?” making it an ideal set of cards for journal prompts, too!
