Promising review: “This stool step ladder is great to have around the house. I cannot reach the top cabinets in my kitchen and wanted a step ladder that wasn’t big and bulky. This one really fit the bill. It is small and lightweight but durable. It is good to store in the pantry for easy access.” —KristaDD
Promising review: “Can’t believe I’m writing a review for a fake rock, but what the hell? I’m on a roll tonight. Looks just like a real rock and camouflages really easily. Even feels real. Could it be real? OK, now I’m just blowing my own mind.” —Giff

Amazon
This one doubles as a humidifier and is very quiet, perfect for using while you snooze.
Promising review: “I have used this a few times now and I am impressed! I have used several types of essential oils in it, both name-brand and store brands, and the scent really spreads across the room. I like that it will emit a beeping sound to let you know when the water level is low or is about to shut off. I also like using the multicolor function.” —Nki

FYI, the auto-on feature happens within 10 feet of the light, and the auto-off happens after 15 seconds of no motion being detected, all of which helps prolong battery life!
Promising review: “I was a little skeptical about these, but they have actually been a lifesaver. I have them placed everywhere. I live alone, so I have these placed all around my house and around the backyard for my dogs. I have some in my home as well for nighttime; when I come in my house, it lights up automatically. A great buy!” —Amazon Customer

A sleek lift-top coffee table to quickly throw all of your stuff in when company comes over or to fill with your favorite snacks so you never have to go far when having a “me time” movie marathon.
Amazon
Promising review: “I adore this table. The storage space can’t be beat and it’s amazing how often a higher surface is needed, such as someone wanting to write something. I love how I was able to shock everyone by gently lifting the surface to table level. It’s a little time consuming to put together, but easy enough if you know how to read the directions. I’m a single, girl in my twenties and put it together by myself no problem if that says anything.” —Lmscott90

A body pillow that’ll help fill that cuddle void when you’re alone. This pillow helps to align your hips, neck, shoulders, and back in addition to regulating body temperature. Shhh, time for a nap 💤.
Amazon
Promising review: “Pregnant or not, this pillow needs to be in your life. As I get older, sometimes my knees ache, and I’ve found putting a small pillow in between my knees helps that. This massive cuddly monster solves all my sleeping problems. It’s also great for sitting up in bed. You can fold up one of the arms and prop yourself up. I live alone, and ladies, if you get yourself a good vibrator and one of these pillows … you don’t even need a man in your life. This maternity pillow is the best boyfriend I’ve ever had.” —Nissa

A wine vacuum stopper, because you’re only one person and you couldn’t seem to finish the bottle of wine that you opened after a really intense moment during a new episode of Law & Order SVU.
Promising review: “This is a really good tool for preserving wine. It came with two stoppers and I use it every day. It’s easy to use and helps keep the wine fresh much longer. Living alone, I usually take several days to finish off a bottle, so this has been a great value for me. Highly recommend.” —Rpal

Some silicone stretch lid covers, for a reusable solution for your leftovers because you haven’t mastered the art of cooking for one.
Amazon
Promising review: “This is truly an amazing replacement for plastic wrap or other covers that are not eco-friendly! And it saves you money in the long run! You can throw them in the fridge/freezer/microwave because they are made out of the most kitchen/earth-friendly material…silicone! Plus, they’re easy to clean, easy to use, and durable as hell!” —Tammy Cardona-Zambeis
A handy hook useful for anyone who refuses to make multiple trips to the car after grocery shopping.
Amazon
Promising review: “These have been an absolute dream to own — my wife and I never go shopping without them. They’re very well made and help us make fewer trips with more bags. It says they will handle up to 50 pounds per handle; I never bothered to weigh what I put on them, but they have held up under pretty heavy loads that I thought for sure would make them bend or break. So far, not a warp, crack, or bend in sight!” —MiseriesChild

A night-light radiating sweet dream vibes that’ll be your own little night time pal.
Amazon
Promising review: “What’s not to like?! It’s cute, durable and useful! The soft light makes a great night light, it has a full spectrum of rainbow light, or white light. It’s very relaxing to watch the colors change. Since it is usb rechargeable you never have to worry about batteries. Lasted at least a month before needing a charge. Highly recommended!” —IgM

A bedside caddy to keep all of your necessary items nearby like your iPad, remote, and phone charger because no one is there to grab them for you.
Amazon
Also fits leftover pizza and any additional snacks you might have accumulated. We’re hunkering down for winter here, people; it’s time to stock up.
Promising review: “Perfect for my needs. It stays in place between the mattress and box spring. I’ve stopped dropping my iPhone during the night because it’s in the pocket instead of on my night table.” —lady g
A pack of 120 Hefty kitchen trash bags, because having your trash bag burst open while transporting your garbage to the dumpster is an experience you hope to only have once, especially if there’s no one else to take it out for you. Lesson learned — keep heavy duty bags on deck.
Promising review: “How did I get to this point in my life where I have go-to garbage bags and would review them? The bags fit my Rubbermaid 13-gallon touch-top trash can as expected. They’re easy to put on, and they stand up to my extreme laziness when it comes to taking out the trash in a timely fashion. I feel like they’ve held together under 20 or more pounds of pointy trash in them without fail, which is all I could ask from a trash bag.” —Shaky Dave

A bulk set of 12 handmade bath bombs to bring the spa to you after a long day. Just toss one into your bath and melt into a relaxing abyss while you watch all the pretty colors swirl in the water.
Amazon
Promising review: “Bought these for my girlfriend, and she said they are BETTER than Lush’s bath bombs. We used one together and they smell great and leave your skin smooth, and most do not contain glitter. Will definitely purchase these again. They’re a little bit smaller than Lush bombs, but there was no difference in terms of color, scent, or skin softening. You could put Lush on this box and not even recognize a difference. These are quality bombs. If you are looking for a gift for someone or looking to use bath bombs yourself, buy these; you will not regret it.” —Amazon Customer
It comes with a lid to help maintain freshness and keep out odors. It’s made of food-safe silicone that’s BPA-free and dishwasher-safe.
Promising review: “This is the best invention since sliced bread! How many times have you thrown out soup that you forgot about in your fridge??? Well, say goodbye to spoiled soup! Finally, a way to store measured quantities of broth, but I love to use mine for soup and…wait for it…SMOOTHIES! These cubes are the best for freezing measured quantities of smoothies. Simply throw one in the Vitamix, and boom! You have a fresh, already icy-cold smoothie for breakfast or a snack! For anyone with limited freezer space — which, let’s face it, is most of us — this is a real gem. I was a bit worried about how easily the cubes would slide out, but no problems at all! The best part is how easy the cubes store in a gallon-size ziplock bag so you can reuse the cubes. AND they are dishwasher safe??? Souper Cubes, why did you take so long to come into my life!??! I can’t wait until the holiday season so I can gift these as stocking stuffers! To anyone I know, you now know your gift.” —Texas Sunshine

And a pack of recyclable ethylene-absorbing apples to keep your fruits and veggies fresh, longer because sometimes you forget that you’re only one person, and can only eat so much lettuce at a time.
Amazon
Promising review: “These REALLY work! We had to move them away from our fresh fruit so it would ripen! My produce is lasting at least three times as long without spoilage. Great product, and have already bought many as gifts. They don’t seem to work on tomatoes, but they are great with bananas, apples, kiwi, pears, grapes, plums, peaches, lettuces, mushrooms, and many more fruits and vegetables.” —Jacki
