This Lap Desk Has Over 25,000 5-Star Reviews
I am a freelancer writer so I do work from home and this lap desk is a hot item for me. It’s made working on my couch so much more comfortable. This review says it best, “I was looking for something that would make it easier for me to work in bed or do online stuff in a comfy chair, this was the ticket. Wish I had gotten it sooner. I kept holding out thinking, I’m not going to be working in my bed for that long… And then I got pregnant, so… I definitely needed the comfort and convenience of a laptop desk that wouldn’t break the bank and was easy to use. I love that this has a spot for your mouse. I love the handle on the side because it’s easy to pick up and carry around from room to room or get out of the way when cleaning. It’s so light.”

To any fellow baking friends out there, this adjustable rolling pin will become your new favorite gadget. The disks are removable so you can adjust the height and always have the desired thickness for your dough. I love what this reviewer had to say about it, “I used to believe that one rolling pin was much like the other. This one has changed my mind. Apart from being of the quality one would expect from Joseph Joseph, it’s also quite versatile. I always had a problem judging the correct depth of whatever I was rolling. Not anymore. This one has detachable discs at either end. They’re handily labeled in millimeters so you’re guaranteed the correct depth every dime. Even the roller is marked by millimeters so you can roll out the correct width, and the markings have no impact on the pastry.”

Back during the toilet paper frenzy of 2020, I got the bright idea to install a bidet sprayer for our toilet and this one came recommended by a friend.

Your Pets Will Love This Cooling Bed
I was hesitant about this dog bed because it seemed our dogs really liked their pillow beds. But the pillow beds didn’t last long here because our cocker spaniel liked to chew through the bedding. So I went with this alternative years ago and never looked back. My dogs love it and my bank account does too because now I don’t have to replace a dog bed every few weeks. This one is elevated which helps keep your pets cool, easy to clean, easy to assemble, and if the fabric tears from wear, Coolaroo sells replacements right on Amazon. It’s one of my best purchases from Amazon. It’s available in different colors and sizes.

I’m all about fuzzy slippers right now and these aren’t just cute, they have memory foam cushion which makes them very comfortable.

These tick all the boxes and I’m going to order again for myself and my daughter.”
This Fabric Shower Caddy is Multi-Functional
This fabric shower caddy is incredibly useful, especially for a small shower that may feel cluttered with just a few products. This reviewer hit the nail on the head, “I have a tiny ‘space shuttle’ shower and I’ve never liked having a shower head caddy. So I switched it out for these which I hung from a one inch PVC pipe. I love it so much. The shower feels so much bigger and there’s nothing in front of the shower head or knob anymore. I’ll have to wait to see how long they last but for now I’m ecstatic at how it turned out.”
The Kitchen Gadget Will Keep Your Counters Tidy
Dish drying racks have a major con and it’s that they take up too much space on a kitchen counter. A great fix for that is this roll up drying rack that fits over your kitchen sink.

Sleep Better With This Blackout Sleep Mask
I was never a fan of sleep masks until a friend raved about this one and I just had to try it and I was very impressed. This sleep mask is perfect for traveling or if you live in a space where blackout curtains can’t be used. This review will make you want to add this sleep mask to your cart, “I am a travel *night shift nurse* who never has my own home to sleep in (hence the travel nurse part) – which means blackout curtains are a hassle or landlords are kinda iffy on letting me install them. I haven’t been too sure what to do most of the time and try to old school keep my head covered with blankets. Which is suffocating to say the least. This MASK THOUGH. Not only is it blocking all my light it’s also providing headache relief after long shifts. As soon as I wrap it around my head (not even tightly just a normal way) my body instantly relaxes. I’m buying two more for international plane travel and an extra to have on hand.”
