Image source: amazon.com, on_the_elkhorn
Review: “I’m an adult with a tiny foot. Shoes sized 3-5 will fit in length generally, but are often too narrow. This device has made comfort possible without distorting the shape of my shoes. This also makes it possible to get to the “broken-in” stage quicker. This device widens, lengthens and has attachments that can be added to stretch specific problem areas one may have.” – on_the_elkhorn

I hate storing things on my counter, but I love that I can always keep fresh fruit and veggies from the store or garden readily available. The kids love that it is easy to get to and I am incredibly surprised with how strong the magnet is. I have another one in the coffee nook on the other side of the fridge that hold the coffee pods and seasonings. Love how this has saved me space.” – HereIAm

Also, enormous spiders the frogs even ignore. I plan on getting a second one because it works so well. It does fade from a rich to a pale blue. Might be nice if they made it a light blue to start with so it’s not an obvious faded color. Just a thought. It’s still an amazing product I can’t recommend enough!” – cynthia

Image source: amazon.com, KeyWest
Review: “I bought these so I could drink my water while still being able to play my video game and it worked perfectly! The colors are cute, and worth the money. They are silicone so they should hold up pretty well and are easily bendable. They do come with a cleaning brush, but it is a pain to snake it through. I only use the straws for water so it’s not a huge deal.” – Ashlin

Image source: amazon.com, Mandy
Review: “My girl is less than impressed with me about this but it’s for her own good after jumping out of my truck to chase a rabbit and pronghorn. There’s really an excess amount of strap but that means it should fit well in any car. It took all of two minutes to set up, very easy to use and works well for dogs that like to walk back and forth in the backseat. When pulled tight, it is high enough out of the way that it does not impede the back windows which is nice! It should absolutely without a doubt be used with a harness only, please do not use a collar.” – Mandy
