1. An alarm clock by NANU that makes waking up feel like less of a chore and more of a moment. Its designed to wake you with a gentle mechanical chime that starts soft and gradually builds — so you’re not jolted out of sleep like a cartoon character. It’s beautiful enough to double as decor, and best of all, it keeps your phone OFF of your nightstand (and, if you're brave, in a different room altogether!?).

I own this alarm clock and can honestly say it’s changed my sleep routine for the better. Now, I don’t keep my phone next to my bed anymore, which means no more doomscrolling late at night, in the middle of the night, or first thing in the morning. It’s genuinely timeless in every sense, and the subtle chime is actually a really blissful way to wake every morning *without* completely jolting your nervous system. It's definitely an investment, but this thing has some SERIOUS heft. Like, this isn't just another cheap plastic alarm clock from the pharmacy; it's truly built to last and a beautiful, functional object you'll admire AND use for years (decades!?). If you’re trying to live like an actual adult, this is the alarm clock to do it with, IMHO.

Promising review: "I’m not one to review products, but this one is worth sharing! Our freezer doesn’t have an ice maker and it’s been frustrating using the ice cube molds we bought last year. I saw this on TikTok and it was such a good purchase. You freeze two trays and they easily break out into the plastic bin that comes with it (and a little scooper). They’re little round ice balls, and they’re so cute, and they fit in just about everything.

Promising review: "I'm pleasantly surprised. I love everything about this! It's extremely durable, easy to clean, well made, and of high-quality material. I love that the clear Lucite allows it to disappear into the background, so it's not an eyesore. As for its functionality, it's amazing and far surpassed my expectations. It's one of the best purchases I've ever made for myself, and my only regret is not buying it sooner. You don't know what you're missing until you try it. It's super awkward to talk about, but this positions your body to have the easiest and most complete bowel movements. This has increased my overall feeling of health and well-being and puts me in a better mood. I've noticed enough of a difference that I actually miss it when I'm away on vacation or at the cottage.People will say it's gimmicky, and I had my doubts, butthis has quickly become a need and not a want for me.Worth every penny!" —asianangel100303
