Why did I purchase this luxury tube of toothpaste? I never thought I would spend so much on toothpaste, but my sister had an important event to go to and really needed to whiten her teeth fast! She asked me to get this for her so I did, and WOW. Her ...
Supersmile Professional Teeth Whitening Toothpaste
I think Arm&Hammer is underrated as a toothpaste brand. Their toothpastes are actually really effective. My whole family is a fan of this one, but it's SO HARD to find at drug stores. I always have to order this online because it's never availabl...
ARM & HAMMER Whiten & Strengthen Toothpaste 4-Pack
My dad is really bad with the cold so I got these for him. Not much to say. They do the job and are easy to use. They stay warm for hours too.
Hand Warmers - 11 Hr Heat, All Natural, Odorless
I got this because it comes with two in different sizes which is what my mom wanted. It feels comfortable to stand on and we love that it doesn't slide around in the kitchen. It's also thin so you won't accidentally trip over them. No curls around th...
eqivei Kitchen Rugs Non Skid Washable 2PCS
I got this for my cousin's kids and it has been a hit! They love playing the games on these, and my cousin loves that it's preloaded with games so she doesn't have to buy anything else. It's lightweight, and the perfect size for kids! It's a great in...
Handheld Game for Kids - 220 Retro Games
I’m a big fan of this brand, but I’d never seen their products available on Amazon before. Having them on there now is super convenient. These are solid eye patches that actually help with my dark circles, and they’re thicker than the ones I usually ...
Pyunkang Yul PKY Black Tea Reverse Eye Patch
I eat these all the time for lunch. They’re tasty and quick to heat up. It’s not exactly tonkotsu, but the flavor is pretty good for instant cup noodles. I’d recommend giving this one a try.
Nongshim Tonkotsu Ramen Kuromayu Big Bowl 6pk
I really like these, even if they don’t taste exactly like “real” pho. They’re super quick to make, the noodles have the perfect chew, and the broth is full of flavor. It’s the perfect instant pho for a cold day. I also love that it comes with vegeta...
Snapdragon Pho Soup Bowl, Beef Pho, 2.1oz x6
These fire noodles live up to their name. They’re extremely spicy, and your mouth WILL feel the heat! The noodles have a perfect texture, but if you’re sensitive to spice, do not use the entire spicy sauce packet. Perfect for fans of spicy instant no...
Samyang Buldak Hot Spicy Chicken Ramen, 5 Pack
This is great for traveling. We’re hesitant to use public washing machines for our delicates, so we bring this along instead. It’s portable and gets the job done well. The only downside is that it’s fairly small, so you’ll need to do multiple loads i...
Underwear Washing Machine 1.5L Mini Portable
First of all, the scent is amazing. It’s strong at first, but it gradually softens so it’s not overpowering. The fragrance is long-lasting, and the bottle is a generous size for the price. Definitely worth trying if you enjoy body mists.
eos Cashmere Body Mist Strawberry Dream 6oz
This is a great set of sports balls for kids. I got it for my friend’s son who loves sports, and it was a big hit. They’re the perfect size—just slightly smaller than standard balls—making them ideal for kids to play with.
3-Piece Sports Balls Set w/ Pump - Basketball, Soccer, Football
I love Miss Vickie’s chips—they’re super delicious. I bought these because I didn’t want the big bags, and the smaller bags are perfect for portioned snacking. I also love that they come in a variety of flavors, so you can try different ones and find...
Miss Vickie's Kettle Cooked Chips Variety Pack
I used to live in Japan, so I have high standards when it comes to matcha. While this isn’t quite the same as authentic Japanese matcha, it’s still pretty good compared to most matcha available in the U.S. The flavor isn’t very strong, but it’s smoot...
Naoki Matcha Organic Ceremonial First Spring Blend 40g
I tried a sample of these at Japantown and loved them so much that I ordered a pack on Amazon. They’re not too sweet and have a generous amount of nata de coco, which I really enjoyed. My only complaint is the size—they’re pretty pricey for such smal...
Mogu Mogu Variety Pack Juice Drink with Nata de Coco, 6 Pack

I couldn’t believe I could get a thermometer at this price—most drugstores sell them for nearly double! It’s fast, accurate, and works perfectly. Not complaints here.
Boncare 10 Sec Digital Thermometer for Kids & Adults
I was really into Konjac jelly and decided to try these. They were okay—decent portions and a fair price—but not amazing. There are definitely better options out there.
EVERYDAZE Sweet Jelly C Konjac | Vegan, GF, SF
Not too bad! The results are instant and noticeable, which makes it perfect for a special event or night out. However, it isn’t long-lasting, so I wouldn’t use it every day. Still, it’s worth trying if you want quick, temporary results.
STYLIA V Line Lifting Collagen Mask 10PC
A few years ago, we had a serious pantry moth problem, and this product really saved us. It’s a great option if you need a quick, temporary solution to keep moths under control.
8 Pack Pantry Moth Glue Traps with Pheromones
This works so well and feels like a mini scalp massage while washing my hair. I’ve had mine for years—just wish it was sold as a single pack because I don't really have any use for the extra one.
HEETA Hair Scalp Massager Brush 2 Pack
The product itself deserves 5 stars—it's great! However, every time I order from Amazon, a few arrive dried out or already opened, so I had to take one star off. Also, the price has jumped a lot, so I’ll only repurchase when it’s on sale.
Summer's Eve Feminine Cleansing Wipes, 16ct, 3 Pack
This cleans really well without causing any irritation or discomfort. The only downside is you need to wash your ears thoroughly afterward, or they can stay oily for a while.
Debrox Ear Wax Removal Drops, 0.5 Fl Oz
This is a high-quality tea and the flavor is pretty good, but the sugar content is way too high for my taste. It’s also on the pricier side, so I’m not sure I’d buy it again.
Tea PI Jasmine Green & Lemon Iced Tea 15pk
Salonpas is a family favorite, and we love their products. Unfortunately, the ones sold by Amazon don't seem to stick on as well. Not sure if we just got an old batch, or if the formula is different, but I prefer getting this in store – even if it's ...
Salonpas Pain Relieving Patch, 140 Patches
I wear this when it's cold at home, but not cold enough for the heater. It's very soft, and keeps me warm. However, I can only rate it 3 stars because it sheds so many fuzzies. The fuzzies get stuck to my shirt or they fall onto my carpet. If there w...
THE COMFY Original Sherpa Lined Wearable Blanket
I love Tide, and this size at this price is almost impossible to find in stores. Unfortunately, many of the orders I’ve received have leaked during shipping, so I end up with less product. I just wish the packaging and shipping were a bit better.
Tide Liquid Laundry Detergent, Original, 125 fl oz
I ordered this for a strong, clinical mouthwash that would keep my mouth fresh all day. It’s definitely strong—almost to the point of burning—so you’ll want to dilute it with water. I’m not sure how well it prevents gingivitis, but it definitely keep...
Crest Pro-Health CPC Antigingivitis Rinse 473ml x2
I bought this to clean an old teddy bear, and the product itself works really well. Unfortunately, the Amazon packaging was disappointing—my bottle arrived slightly leaking and the outside was sticky.
Johnson's Baby Shampoo Aloe Vera & B5 20.3oz
I picked these up as some extra everyday shirts. They’re definitely soft and comfortable, but they run pretty short and the material is extremely thin—almost see-through. If that bothers you, these probably won’t be the best choice.
Real Essentials 5 Pack Women's Dry Fit V Neck Tee
I ordered these as party favors for a kids’ birthday party, and they were a total hit! The squishies are cute, fun, and great for goodie bags, though a few arrived slightly deformed. Overall, they’re affordable, entertaining, and perfect for kids’ pa...
80Pcs Kawaii Squishy Toys for Kids 4-8
We still use home phones in my family—especially for my parents' doctor appointments—so when ours finally stopped working, my mom sent me straight to Amazon to replace them. I chose this set even though it was a bit pricier because the reviews were g...
VTech IS8251-3 3-Handset Cordless Phone
Cute flavor and great as a stocking stuffer, but not the best lip balm. Needs constant reapplication, and the SPF 30 claim feels questionable.
AriZona SPF 30 Lip Balm 3-Pack, Vegan
Got this for a friend with young kids and we ended up playing for a while. The game itself is a classic and still really fun, but the plastic fish are cheaply made and it does jam occasionally. Not a dealbreaker, but definitely not the best quality.
Let's Go Fishin' Game by Pressman - Fast-Action
I tried Archers when they first came out and thought they were absolutely delicious. But after ordering them again recently, the quality just isn’t the same. The beef sticks taste much saltier now—maybe because of lower-quality ingredients—and the te...
Archer Mini Grass-Fed Beef Sticks 24-Pack
Classic and fun! I picked these up while teaching in Japan, and my students absolutely loved them—scratch-and-sniff stickers are rare there. Perfect for little prizes or classroom rewards.
HORIECHALY 600 Pcs Scratch & Sniff Stickers
The TV remote broke and I didn't want to pay $60 for a new one so I ordered this. It's affordable and works. However, the delivery was less than ideal and that's why I took 2 stars off. I'm a Prime member and it took more than 2 days to ship. In addi...
AKB73615316 Remote for LG Plasma TV Models
I got this for my goddaughter. It's super cute and she loves it, but she says it's a little uncomfortable on her shoulders. I also noticed that the water bottle holder pocket started ripping after only a few uses.
Skip Hop Toddler Backpack, Zoo Preschool, Koala
I ordered this for my sister who loves Labubu. The case itself is fine, but the keychain part broke almost instantly. There were other options without the keychain part that were cheaper but I picked this one because of the keychain. Disappointed in ...
Protective Case for LABUBU Clear Figure Display
I started taking Olly vitamins back in 2019. They were not really popular back then, but I liked that they were gummies, and their price was fair. I love how easy it is to take them – they just like candy, but they're good for you. This is a great st...
OLLY Undeniable Beauty Gummy, Biotin, C, 60ct
I got this because I thought it would save me money over the parchment liners. While that may be true, I found these to be less effective. I'm not sure how I feel about silicone being in the air-fryer. I noticed that after a couple of uses, they star...
Buauty 3 Pack 8in Silicone Air Fryer Liners
These were fine, but not the best I've ever had. They are kind of pricey for what you get, but ok to get once in a while.
ICE BREAKERS Ice Cubes Peppermint Gum 3.24oz
I bought this because I needed something quickly and Prime’s two-day shipping came in clutch. I ordered a medium and the fit was perfect, but I didn’t love the material. It wasn’t very soft and felt a bit uncomfortable. It’s not bad for an affordable...
Lauweion Women Solid Fleece Letter Hoodie
For the price, I really can’t complain—it’s even cheaper than buying them in bulk at Costco. Performance-wise, they’re fine, though I do notice they tend to die faster than some of the bigger name brands.
Lepro AAA Batteries 100 Pack, 1.5V Alkaline
My family and I love buns, so we were excited to try this one. It’s super quick and easy to heat up, making it a great snack. The bun is soft, though it can stick to your teeth. The beef is spicy and flavorful, which I liked, but it’s a little on the...
Laoban Spicy Beef Bao Buns 10oz Frozen
These dried sweet potato sticks actually taste pretty good. They’re chewy and not overly sweet, making them a great snack when you want something sweet but not like candy. My only concern is the quality—some sticks were hard and inedible, so I had to...
Yammy Dried Sweet Potato Sticks 5-Pack - Vegan, Gluten-Free, 2.5oz
If you’re looking for furikake, this is a solid option. It’s not the most flavorful, but it’s affordable and gets the job done.
Nori Komi Furikake Rice Seasoning, 1.7 Oz
Pocari Sweat is delicious and great on its own, but wow—the price is high. Aside from the higher-than-normal cost, there’s nothing wrong with ordering it on Amazon. It’s a great sports drink with a refreshing, unique flavor.
Pocari Sweat Hydration Drink, 500ml, 12 Pack
I love aloe vera drinks and always grab them when I see them. This one is just okay for me—I found it a bit too sweet and prefer a lighter taste. That said, the price is great, so if you’re looking to satisfy a craving, it’s not a bad option.
Iberia Aloe Vera Juice Drink, Original, 16.9oz x8
2 ★
I was craving tteokbokki one day and grabbed this set while it was on sale. I liked the original and garlic flavors, but the rest were a miss for me. The portions are also tiny, even though each one comes with “two bags.” Overall, not really worth it...
O’food Tteokbokki Variety Pack, 5 Pack
I kind of regret buying this—not because it’s a bad product, it works fine—but it was pricey and you have to buy four at once. They’re bulkier than I expected, so I can’t even use all four at the same time. Overall, it doesn’t feel worth the cost or ...
ZHENFAN Clear Plastic Stackable Egg Holder 18 Eggs
I really wanted to like this since the reviews were so amazing and the price was perfect, but unfortunately it didn’t do much for me. I didn’t notice any improvements in my focus or energy, so it wasn’t worth it for me personally.
Nootropics Depot Lions Mane 8:1 Extract 500mg
It’s a fun and creative take on dish soap, but it didn’t work as well as advertised for me. I’m not sure I’d repurchase it, especially at the full price.
Dawn Platinum Powerwash Dish Spray & Refills
I’m the biggest boba fan, but I really didn’t enjoy these. They were overly sweet, and the “boba” wasn’t chewy at all—more like a soft gummy lump. Not recommended and definitely not worth the price.
(Pack of 12) INOTEA Bubble Tea, 16.6oz, Assorted
I wasn’t impressed with these. After a month of use, I didn’t notice any visible results. The capsules are large, hard to swallow, and some even arrived broken. Considering the price and limited effectiveness, I personally can’t recommend these.
Nutrafol Women's Hair Growth, Ages 18-44, 1 Month
I love that each eye mask is individually packed, and they’re fun to use, but honestly, they’re not effective. They feel refreshing when applied, but they don’t do much for dark circles, puffiness, or under-eye bags.
grace & stella Under Eye Mask - 24 Pairs
I bought this a few years ago and it worked fine at first, but after a few months the inside started peeling and the lid button began malfunctioning. For the price, there are definitely better, longer-lasting options available.
Hamilton Beach Electric Tea Kettle 1.7L SS
Needed a paper towel holder so I got this. The base is not really weighted and it moves around easily when you use it. It was a deal breaker for me so I returned it.
Paper Towel Holder Countertop, Stainless Steel, Black
I bought these for the office because they were cheap, but they’re thinner and flimsier than I expected. They’re also smaller than standard coasters, which I didn’t realize when ordering. They stick to the bottom of cups pretty often too. Not my favo...
DomeStar 7PCS 3.5" Non Slip Silicone Car Coasters
I love crab rangoons, so when I saw these available, I had to order a box to try. Unfortunately, they didn’t live up to my expectations. There was very little filling and hardly any crab. For the price and calories, I don’t think they’re worth it. No...
Laoban Dumplings Crab Rangoon, 8 OZ
1 ★
This one was a no-go for me. The mitts are extremely oversized and way too stiff to use, making them uncomfortable and impractical. I ended up returning them because they just weren’t usable.
KITCHENAID Ribbed Silicone Oven Mitt 2-Pack
I wanted to try a new body scrub, but this one was a miss. It didn’t do much for my skin and actually left it dry. Not my favorite—I ended up tossing the jar after a few uses.
Liyalan Turmeric Body Scrub Moisturizing 7.8oz
I was hoping for noticeable results, but these masks didn’t deliver. On top of that, they hurt my ears while wearing them. If they were more comfortable and I could wear them longer, maybe it would be different—but I won’t purchase them again.
SWISSÖKOLAB V Shape Double Chin Reducer Mask
I really wanted to like this, but it just didn’t work for me. It’s not suitable for sensitive skin, and I ended up tossing my tube after only a few uses.
Hair Removal Cream for Men & Women, Sensitive Skin, Aloe Vera & Vitamin E, 3.7 Fl Oz
I bought this on a whim, but I didn’t like it. It wasn’t moisturizing, and some even came dried out. It’s cheap for a reason—I can’t recommend it.
DERMAL Korea Facial Mask 16 Combo Pack
These foot masks are a no-go for me. The scent was unpleasant, and while my feet did peel a few days later, it came off in tiny pieces. I’ve used other brands before where all the dead skin peeled off at once, so I’m not convinced these are very effe...
PLANTIFIQUE Foot Peeling Mask 2 Pack Strawberry
I really love the mission behind this brand, but the product itself fell short for me. The lavender scent was overly strong and not very pleasant, and my clothes didn’t come out as soft as I expected. It also didn’t do a great job removing stains. I ...
Ultra Concentrated Laundry Detergent, 64 Loads
I love the idea of low-sugar candy—yes, please! But unfortunately, this just wasn’t it for me. The texture was strange and really unpleasant, and it took away from the whole experience. I wouldn’t buy this again.
SmartSweets Peach Rings Low Sugar Gummy Candy
I got this so I could have some back support while using my laptop or reading in bed. But this pillow had such a strong chemical smell that it actually made me nauseous. I ended up returning it, and I'm not sure I can trust buying another pillow onli...
Kolbs Bed Wedge Pillow for Sleep Apnea & Acid Reflux
These were not great. First off, they were way too salty—you’ll probably need to chug water just to get the bun down. They were also very mushy, even though I followed the cooking instructions. I definitely won’t be repurchasing these.
Laoban Dumplings Pork BBQ Bao Buns 10oz
Not a fan of this variety of buns either. Again, it’s way too salty. There’s very little filling, and the texture of the vegetables doesn’t mix well with the meat. I definitely do not recommend this one.
Laoban Sesame Chicken Bao Buns 10oz
