    Grampa's Gardenware Co. is an Oregon-based, family-owned small business.

    Promising review:"Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim given we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weed was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." —JG

    Get it on Amazon for $39.99(available in two colors).

    Before you toss your tech in the trash, at least give this a try.

    Promising review:"I never usually write reviews but this is an exception. I've had my AirPods for over a year and when the sound quality was diminishing, I was afraid they had a short life expectancy and I would need to get a new pair! Even after using cotton buds to clean the AirPods out, I thought that was enough until my friend said there's stuff built up and hard to see, but there was nothing able to get it out! Enter this product. It literally took five minutes to clean each ear bud effectively and instantly the sound quality was as good as new! Loud, clear, less trouble connecting to my phone, etc. You don't need a full square to clean them, so you can pull a piece off or reuse a square with a side you haven't used! SO happy I found a solution!" —Amazon Customer

    Amazon

    Promising review: "My bra straps spent more time off my shoulders than on them. I have bras that fit perfectly, but the straps are too wide-set or something. I'm so glad I bought these little bra strap clip holders because they've solved the problem. I've used them for three days now, and my straps have not fallen off of my shoulders even once in that time. Amazing! I love them! I put a clip holder on my bra and then put the bra on like a T-shirt — over my head, put my arms in, then fasten it as usual in the back — pretty easy. The length of the clip holders are adjustable. I have fully extended them to fit across the back of my 38DD bras. At first it felt a bit odd because it was different, but it doesn't take long to adjust to the feel of it. The strap clip holders do the job, and they are pretty cheap, so give them a try." —Polly Esther

    Get a set of three from Amazon for $6.97+ (available in eight styles and in a five-pack).

    Promising review: "The scene: me with a hot glove carrying a drip pan full of au jus. Thumb goes into hot liquid. Pan is dropped, and greasy meat juice is all over our patio brick. In freezing temps. I use a putty knife to get some out, but there the stain remains six months later. Even muriatic acid didn’t cut it. Ordered this. Tried a spot. Let it dry overnight. Swept it. Stain is almost gone. I apply it to the rest of the stain and let it set. But this time it rains and turns it gooey. Fortunately, new power washer and I join forces with Chomp, and within a half hour, it’s totally gone. Amazing product. 1,000%satisfied." —Teddy Roosevelt

    Get it from Amazon for $17.97(available in two sizes).

    7. A foot creamto soften those hardened calluses and cracked heels — the reviewer picture really says it all (omg, what a transformation)!

    Promising review: "I have never seen a product like this ever. My feet were so soft and radiant after one application only. I usually don’t give this rating easily, but this product truly made me do it. Seriously, it deserves 10 stars not 5, I would strongly recommend it to everyone." —Nora

    Amazon

    Promising review:"We cannot BEGIN to tell you what a lifesaver this is! We have two old fiberglass tubs with vinyl shower enclosures that no matter what amount of scrubbing we have done with everything from bleach to cleanser to vinegar and baking soda would NOT come clean. After I took my shower last night, I sprayed down the tub and walls. Within minutes, all the built-up water deposits and dirt and grime began to melt away in front of my eyes. I left it on overnight, and when I got up this morning, it did not look like the same tub and shower. This product is a godsend, especially for old folks like us who have difficulty getting down on our hands and knees and scrubbing anything. More importantly, it performs as advertised. We plan on using it as part of our weekly cleanup routine. This is truly an overnight sensation!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $19.19(available in two scents and two sizes).

    9. A ChomChom pet hair removerbecause of how *effectively* it removes fur from your clothes, furniture, and other fabric surfaces.

    Promising review: "If I could give this product 6 stars, I would. My husband and I use it almost every day. We have three furry dogs and six fluffy cats, which makes for A LOT of hair. We were using a lint roller before we bought our ChomChom Roller. The lint roller didn't work very well and had to be replaced. We have had our ChomChom Roller for months and it still works just as well as it did when we first got it. We can actually invite our friends over now without worrying about all the pet hair." —Morgan Willis

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99(available in three colors).

    10. A pet tag silencerto stop theannoying clattering noise of your pet's tags as they move around. It’s designed to withstand rough play and is waterproof. Plus, reviewers say it actually works — so it's definitely worth a try!

    Promising review: "If you hate listening to your pet's tags clink and jingle, save yourself the pain and just order this tag silencer, you will love it. My husband loathes the sound of clicking dog tags and would perpetually take our dogs collar off. This tag silencer has solved that issue. We keep three tags on our dogs collar: ID tag with contact info, rabies tag, and city license tag. All three fit with no issue and no jingle. There is definitely room for more tags. It is easy to attach to the collar and once it's on, you don't have to mess with it again (unless you add or take tags off obviously). This was the second one we purchased for our dog. The first one lasted roughly 2.5 years on a growing puppy. Our dog is pretty active so it survived lake swimming, hiking, rough play with other dogs, etc. It also survived hot summers and cold winters, but our dog prefers winters spent under a blanket next to the heater vent. We have recommend to family and friends and they all love it. I also work in a veterinary office and recommend it to clients who complain about the clinking of tags." —Work hard, play hard.

    Promising review: "I love my new everywhere scarf/shawl. I purchased the silver for travel and am now wearing it almost daily. It is sooooo soft and versatile. Looks great with jeans and a sweater as a scarf. Looks really nice as a shawl with a dress or slacks and blouse. You will love how you feel wrapped up in it on an airplane or in the car on a trip. Don’t pass up owning this great accessory, enjoy it!" —George K.

    Hustle & Sew is a small shop based in Saint Helens, Oregon.

This thing and its four roomy pocketsmake it so easy to reach all the gadgets and goodies you brought for your flight — without leaving your seat.

    Promising review: "I cannot recommend these enough and I do recommend them to everyone who flies. I like to keep lots of things easily accessible (gum, tissues, my drink or drinks, a game, sunglasses etc.) I hate having to dig through my bag to get my AirPods case to charge them or to grab a piece of gum or my snack. These pockets are so nice that when I first get on the plane I load up the pockets with all the goodies from my bag and then I can just tuck my personal item (book bag) under the seat in front of me and forget about it. No more lost drink bottles rolling around somewhere under my seat, no more pulling my bag out 50 times. I also love that it covers the top tray. 1.) I have food allergies and hate germs and this is just 1,000 times cleaner! 2.) It provides a nice surface to read, play games with the kids, or do any number of things on. No taking it off for meals either. I have no cons to say about this item. It’s super slim, fits in your personal item easily, and it doesn’t feel like it takes up your leg room. I just can’t give it enough stars. I have taken these on many different style aircrafts and never had an issue with the latch style yet. This would also make an amazing gift and the traveler in your life will love you forever after using this." —Jessica

And this stuff is GREAT to have while you're traveling, especially in places with hard water that can damage your hair.

    Promising review: "I've always needed dry shampoo for my top roots, which get oily far before the rest of my hair. THIS is by FAR the best I've ever used. The applicator is genius — it goes on so easily. And I've NEVER had a dry shampoo last like this for DAYS! It's easy to work in with my fingers and it is a wonderful volumizer. The size is great for travel. I hope they never change the formula — it is just wonderful — even the very light, delicate fragrance is perfect. I give it 100 STARS for its safety, convenience, design AND for all the time it saves me." —Lexi Jean

    Promising review: "This has been so great as my door area light isn’t always on where I can see my lock to insert my key. This has saved me a lot of fumbling trying to get out my phone to use a light to see. Would recommend to anyone who has subpar lighting for their door!" —JC

    Promising review: "We got this screen so our dog can go in and out freely without letting the bugs in. At first he wasn't quite sure about going through it; in fact he scratched at it signaling us to open it for him. But after a few training treats he figured it out. Installation was so easy! The Velcro, fabric, and mesh all seem very good quality. I'm also happy that we can take down the screen in the winter and store away easily, then just reattach it in the spring. Very happy with my purchase!" —Crystal K

    Get it from Amazon for $23.99+(available in five sizes).

    17. A Yonanas fruit soft-serve makerthat turns frozen fruit into a delicious ice cream-esque dessert.

Plus, now you have a delicious treat to serve guests anytime you host!

    Promising review:"I saw one of these in action at a friend's house like five years ago and thought it was just a made up memory, because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems wild.But when I saw a TikTok about it I immediately went to Amazon and bought it. Literally this was the BEST decision of my life.I cannot believe still how amazing this thing is! It makes the creamiest, best tasting fruit ice cream ever.It’s easy to take apart and clean, and super easy to use." —DMCKAY

    Promising review: "I rarely go out of my way to write a review unless I’m truly amazed by the product. I have terrible sunken-in eyes (due to genetics) that can’t really be fixed without fillers (which I’d never do). No matter how much sleep I get, I have bad dark circles, so I decided that I had to invest in an eye cream. I’m so glad I did! I used a cheap drug store eye cream that really only made it look like I had water under my eyes and it did nothing else. This eye cream is so hydrating and smooth! It really evens out my skin tone and wakes up my face in the morning! I feel so refreshed and dare I say...prettier. It’s boosted my confidence a ton. I’m so happy with this product!" —casie ackerman

    Promising review: "My partner and I have a very small bathroom without a window/proper air circulation, and needless to say when we take hot showers, we do worry about the lingering dampness that induces mildew, mold, etc. This little guy has become our bathroom powerhouse. It has noticeably reduced the dampness and moisture of our bathroom, and it’s compact enough to fit into a little nook on our shelf. I will say that when renewing it, the outlet and product itself becomes quite hot, so I would remove it in intervals to prevent overheating. That’s about my only criticism re: the product. All in all, it packs a punch for its size and affordability!" —Melanie

    Promising review: "This product WORKS! You won’t be disappointed. I used to get embarrassed taking off my flats in my office because they smelled so bad, but not anymore! My work flats make my feet sweaty and this spray helps keep the awful odors away at least four to five days (probably longer but I was so excited I just sprayed my shoes again because I liked the smell haha!) The lemon is strong and the eucalyptus I love, so I would purchase again! Although it will likely last a while! I have a little boy who gets sweaty feet also so I’m sure I’ll soon be using this in his shoes also." —Traeannah Brown

    Promising review: "Our vacation planner suggested getting something like this for when you're waiting in line at an amusement park when the sun is out. Best advice ever.

It's lightweight and doesn't weigh you down, the fan has adjustable speeds and also includes a phone charger via USB A port and also a flashlight function.

    28. Aveggie chopperto keep your counter space tidy while speeding up your prep time. It's the perfect addition to your kitchen arsenal if you love to cook, but hate chopping because oh boy does this thing *chop* pretty much everything. It comes with different blades for slicing, dicing, and spiraling your favorite foods, too. Like, imagine cutting onions without the tears (a dreeeaam).

    Promising review:"Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food, and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer

    29. A set ofdouble-sided shower ringsthat make changing your shower curtain or liner easier than it's ever been. Since you hang the curtain on one side and the liner on the other — you'll avoid the hassle of taking the whole thing down every time you switch the curtain/liner.

    Promising review: "This is one of those items you didn’t know you needed, and once you get it, you can’t help but wonder how you ever managed before. I absolutely hate taking the shower curtains off because of the whole open and close for several shower curtains. I know you’re like, ‘It’s just shower curtain hooks.’ And it is. But when you have to change out the creepy shower liner that likes to attack you, and you dread doing so, this just adds seconds to your life. No more unsnapping. Simply take out the liner, place the liner on the appropriate hook, and presto." —Nardsbaby
