I hit purchase right away once I saw that it included a lash spool and a tiny brush for eyebrows!"Why It's A Hidden Gem: "I was skeptical, but I've been using this product daily for just a month and already see a huge difference in the length and volume of my eyelashes.

I decided to search for a DIY option and thought this pack of 2 handheld massager tools looked like a promising option."Why It's A Hidden Gem: "I used this to scrub my shampoo into my hair and wow it got through my thick hair with ease. The long silicon bristles provided just the right amount of pressure without being harsh.

"Cbiumpro Scalp Massager, 2 Pack, $, available at AmazonSatin PillowcasesEmersonHow She Discovered It: "I had heard sleeping on cotton is really bad for your skin and hair, so I've always wanted satin or silk pillowcases, but haven't been up for spending $50+ for just one!"Why It's A Hidden Gem: "Because of the price point, I was iffy about how these would feel IRL, but they are so smooth and buttery and make me feel like I'm sleeping at a 5-star hotel. I've also noticed a huge difference in my hair, it's way less frizzy when I wake up in the morning and my style is still intact from the day before. They come in so many colors so I'm definitely ordering a few more to mix and match."Bedsure Satin Pillowcase for Hair and Skin, 2 Pack, $, available at AmazonMini Waffle MakerRileyHow She Discovered It: "Fall is my favorite season, so I always start prepping early. I know it's a little overkill, but I look forward to adding a little something pumpkin-related to my apartment each year (that won't take up too much space). This tiny pumpkin waffle maker had so many great reviews I just couldn't resist."Why It's A Hidden Gem: "This is literally the cutest thing I've ever seen. It's so tiny, which is actually perfect because each waffle cooks in literally one minute! I also use it way more than I thought I would...pro tip: frozen hash browns and cinnamon roll dough in a waffle maker is next level."Dash Mini Waffle Maker, $, available at AmazonMotivational Water Bottle With Time MarkerAliHow She Discovered It: "I was searching for a water bottle to help motivate me to drink more water each day. I really didn't want a giant generic gallon bottle, so this ombre one immediately caught my eye."Why It's A Hidden Gem: "I really love this. It hold so much liquid, but is thin enough to fit in my car cup holder and the strap makes is easy to carry on my long walks. Its' cute-factor definitely makes me tote this around much more than a drinking glass, so I'm for sure drinking more water than ever before. It's super easy to clean and I can even throw it in the dishwasher. I'm definitely going to be buying the gallon version next."Giotto 32oz Water Bottle With Time Marker, $, available at AmazonSkin-Clearing SerumElizabethHow She Discovered It: "I'd been hearing a lot of magic skin-clearing serums and was interested in testing out one that wouldn't upset my overly sensitive skin. After some Googling, I found this top-rated option on Amazon for under $20."Why It's A Hidden Gem: "I was nervous about using it for the first few times, but based on the customer images (there are nearly 10,000 reviews) I felt confident that this could work in finally zapping my pesky humidity breakouts. And it did. I've been using it for about a month now (putting it on at night after my cleanser and before my moisturizer) and will be ordering another bottle soon. It took about a week for me to start and notice any real results, but this brand's ratio of vitamin C, salicylic acid, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, retinol, and MSM is magic. Those red inflamed bumps on my cheeks and forehead are kaput."Eva Naturals Skin-Clearing Serum, $, available at AmazonFloating Window Plant ShelfAnaHow She Discovered It: "I had seen an acrylic multi-tiered hanging plant shelf on Etsy that I really wanted, but it was sold out. So I searched Amazon and found this!"Why It's A Hidden Gem: "I love plants but live in a tiny apartment that barely gets any light (my succulents always die), and these suction-cup acrylic shelves do the sunlight-reaching trick. Not only do they elevate my plants to the only area in my place that gets sun, but they also look so chic. I bought more than one and actually use it in my bathroom for extra beauty-shelf storage on my mirror!"Window Garden Double Veg Ledge Suction Cup Window Shelf, $, available at AmazonPull-On Linen Shorts LisaHow She Discovered It: "I had my eyes on a pair of pull-on shorts for Madewell that annoyingly kept selling out in my size, so I took to Amazon for a quick fix and stumbled upon these gems." Why It's A Hidden Gem: "The Madewell pair weren't made from linen and this pair is, which turned out to be a much more summery-chic look and feel. I absolutely love them and have been living in them since they arrived. I think the brand is an Amazon exclusive, in-house type of deal so the quality was on-point and the relaxed fit is just what I wanted. Super comfy and super cute all around." 28 Palms Inseam Linen Short With Drawstring, $, available at AmazonSwivel Desk ChairCarrieHow She Discovered It: "Searching for an in-stock desk chair that wasn't an ugly ergonomic style."Why It's A Hidden Gem: "I've been working from home since March and had been holding off on investing in a proper desk chair until my company finally announced we wouldn't be heading back into the office until 2021. SO I bit the bullet and bought this beauty off Amazon. It's by one of the company's in-house home brands and although it was on the pricier side, it really was a quality buy.

It arrived so quickly and after using it for just a few days (morning and night after cleansing) I noticed a huge difference in my skin. My pores were much smaller and the bothersome sebum bumps on my chin area were nearly nonexistent after a week. And the spots where I had previously picked at blemishes were noticeably brighter. Will definitely be ordering more of this magic potion."Pixi Glow Tonic with Aloe Vera & Ginseng, 8 oz, $, available at Amazon100% Organic Bamboo Cooling SheetsShaniaHow She Discovered It: "From R29's roundup on the best cooling sheets."Why It's A Hidden Gem: "When I say I'm a sweaty sleeper, I mean that as in I sometimes wake up with a sweat stain on the bed. Summer 2020 hit and I found myself quarantined away from home where the bedding situation was anything but breathable — so I order this top-rated solution and have never looked back. They were a little scratchy at first, but after a good wash cycle they softened right up and have been keeping my body oh-so sweat-free."Pure Bamboo 100% Organic Bamboo Bed Sheets 4pc Set - Queen, $, available at AmazonPeppermint Foot MaskMelissaHow She Discovered It: "A friend who is a beauty writer recommended it!"Why It's A Hidden Gem: "Since I haven't been able to get a pedicure in god only knows how long, I've taken the fate of my summer toes into my own hands by getting all the top product tips from beauty-pro friends. This pepperminty foot mask gem from Amazon was one of such recs — and it did not disappoint. After wearing the cooling serum-filled booties for about 20 minutes, my feet felt and looked silkier and smoother (and they smelled like a candy cane). It was like a wonderful little facial for my feet."LAPCOS Foot Mask, (1-Pack), $, available at AmazonRoller BladesJordanHow She Discovered It: "Bought them for my daughter. Was searching everywhere for a pair and could only find them in stock (for a decent price) on Amazon." Why It's A Hidden Gem: "They've been a godsend during a summer stuck at home with the kids. I now can ride my bike while my daughter skates beside me — exercise for me, and fun activity for her! Plus, she loves the pink and black combo. Killing two birds with one stone so I don't go completely insane."High Bounce Adjustable Inline Skate, $, available at AmazonClear Habit JournalMelHow She Discovered It: "TKTK." Why It's A Hidden Gem: "TKTK"James Clear Clear Habit Journal [Flagship Size], $, available at AmazonMaui Babe Before & After Sun PackLeslieHow She Discovered It: "A friend recommended it after I complimented her on her insanely good glow."Why It's A Hidden Gem: "As a dedicated self-tan user, I've tried just about every brand and trick in the book and am always down to test new suggestions. This did NOT disappoint. First off, it smells amazing (no stinky self-tanner smell). It goes on smooth, makes my skin feel soft, and I really liked how I was able to use it with the natural effects of the sun in a minimal amount of time to get a deep glow without overexposing my skin! Love it."Maui Babe Browning Lotion 4oz, $, available at Amazon100% Cotton NightgownMarissaHow She Discovered It: "I added this style to a roundup for work of Instagram-inspired nightgown as dresses trend — it has over 1,500 reviews and an Amazon's Choice approval — so then I promptly added it to my own cart."Why It's A Hidden Gem: "I could not be more pleased with this spontaneous purchase. The quality is A+ and I feel like an extra in a Sofia Coppola flick floating around the house in diaphanous cotton nightie while doing the most mundane chores. (Plus, it looks a little bit like those pricey Sleeper frocks but for a fraction of the price.)"The 1 For U Martha 100% Cotton Nightgown, $, available at AmazonAnti-Dandruff ShampooAmandaHow She Discovered It: "I read online that people have used this anti-dandruff shampoo to clear up stubborn, yeast-related breakouts on their foreheads (it sounds so gross, I know)."Why It's A Hidden Gem: "Unsure of what’s been causing the persistent pimples on my own forehead throughout these past few months of lockdown, I decided to give this a try myself and I couldn’t believe how quickly it cleared my skin up."nizoral A-D Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, 7 Fl. Oz, $, available at AmazonOne-Shoulder Cutout One-PieceAmandaHow She Discovered It: "Saw it in a Refinery29 newsletter email."Why It's A Hidden Gem: "I've been looking for the perfect one-shoulder swimsuit and never expected to find one that would ultimately become my new favorite on Amazon. And I looked at a lot and tried on even more than I can count, which is why this one has become such a gem buy in my book. The quality and fit are spot-on, it looks cute paired with shorts, and the colors are so vibrant in person!"SweatyRocks One Shoulder Cutout One Piece, $, available at AmazonRevlon Pedi-ExpertKarinaHow She Discovered It: "My fervent love for the wildly popular Baby Foot peel is well known among the R29 Shopping team — and my feet, personally.

Baby Foot promises to rid your soles of the toughest, roughest calluses and reveal the softest feet you've had since, like, birth." Why It's A Hidden Gem: "It's been almost two weeks since my Baby Foot treatment and I am, frankly, devastated. Yes, my feet are more smooth and soft than they have ever been in my adult life. But, I long for the heady days of last week when I could look forward to the horrific and thrilling site of my feet emerging from their soak, shedding wondrous layers of dead skin so great I had to keep the vacuum on hand. Sadly, my soles are in such amazing shape that I fear it will be many months before I can justify another treatment." Baby Foot Original Exfoliant Foot Peel - 2.4 Fl. Oz. Lavender Sce, $, available at AmazonLuxeLuv G-Spot VibratorLucyHow She Discovered It: "From R29's roundup on Amazon's best sex toys!"Why It's A Hidden Gem: "As far as quality vibrators go, this nearly $20 model rivals the premium ones that'll cost you upwards of $100.

Why It's A Hidden Gem: "Not being able to go to my favorite coffee shop (I know a minor inconvenience compared to everything else that's going on) has totally messed up my morning mojo. I really don't love regular coffee and have always been a latte girl, which is where this boy comes in. It has single-handedly saved my morning workflow — because now POOF I can whip up homemade lattes with the same ease of my fave barista Keri (hope you're well girl)."Elementi Milk Frother, $, available at Korean Exfoliating WashclothsCallaHow She Discovered It: "I splurged on a trip to a Korean spa where they scrub all your dead skin off. I noticed the mitts they wore and looked them up when I got home." Why It's A Hidden Gem: "While these don't replicate the full spa experience they are much more affordable. They make my skin so much softer and more importantly, it's incredibly satisfying to see the dead skin come off in rolls."TeChef Home Korean Top Quality Exfoliating Bath Washcloth (4 PCS -, $, available at AmazonWireless Remote Control OutletKatieHow She Discovered It: "I was poking around online for lighting solutions." Why It's A Hidden Gem: "I hate the harsh, overhead lighting in my apartment and prefer scattering lamps around. However, I am also lazy and hate getting up and leaning over furniture to reach their switches. I mounted the remote to the wall with command strips and it's basically like having a light switch for all the lamps in one place. There's also an outdoor version I use for my patio string lights so I can turn them on and off from bed."Etekcity Etekcity Remote Control Outlet Wireless Remote Light Sw, $, available at AmazonO'Keeffe's Foot CreamJacquiHow She Discovered It: "I have been using this foot cream for years."Why It’s A Hidden Gem: "Cracked, dry feet are the worst, but this product WORKS.

Hi, hello, yes, I work here."Why It's A Hidden Gem: "I have finally accepted that I'm a serial loser of sunglasses. After my favorite pair of Céline sunnies — that I owned all of one (!) year — disappeared into thin air, I said, never again. No longer will I spend money on an item that I can't trust myself to keep track of even if said item is perched on my head. These cat-eye sunnies are cheap and light. The lens quality is meh but they are so cute and fit every face that tries them on — even my own little head, as exhibited in this selfie with Amazon shades. If/when I lose these sunglasses I will buy another pair and feel good that the person who finds them will hopefully enjoy them too.YOSHYA Retro Cat-Eye Sunglasses (Pack of 2), $, available at AmazonKonjac Charcoal & Green Tea SpongeDeannaHow She Discovered It: "I had received a konjac sponge in my sub box, but had never used one before.

After lots of searching, I found this giant one for less than $20! It will last a long time." Why It's A Hidden Gem: "It doesn't have any added sugar like lots of other peanut butter powders, you get a ton of it, and it's a great source of plant-based protein. Sometimes the brands that no one knows about are the best!"Naked 2lbs of 100% Premium Powdered Peanut Butter, $, available at AmazonDr.G Brightening Peeling GelLaurynHow She Discovered It: "I literally don't remember. I've been trying to reverse-engineer this search for years — maybe from an old R29 article?" Why It's A Hidden Gem: "I have literally never had an exfoliant that works SO well but is so gentle on my face. It feels amazing. I use it twice a week in the shower and the dead skin literally balls up and rolls off my face (gross, but amazing — like Baby Foot for your face). It lasts me for months and makes my skin so soft and smooth! Also, once my roommate had a friend over who knocked the bottle off the shelf in the shower and I came home to it exploded on the floor and reacted in much the same way someone would react if they came home to a murder scene. Tears."Dr. G Brightening Peeling Gel, 4.2 Ounce, $, available at AmazonLong-Sleeved Pleated Flare DressChristineHow She Discovered It: "Google!"

Why It's A Hidden Gem: "My dad absolutely loved this gift! He was totally blown away. It feels like it's high quality and it actually sounds really great — and all at such a great price (it's hard to find good inexpensive instruments). My dad was convinced I spent a lot on this gift and doesn't believe me when I tell him it wasn't that much!"GECKO Kalimba 17 Keys Thumb Piano, $, available at AmazonGuzzini KitchenwareJuliaHow She Discovered It: "All the cute household/kitchen items at Eataly inspired my search for some extras of the little red-handled dessert forks I'd purchased there — and Amazon.com offers a bunch of Guzzini's beautiful designs!"Why It's A Hidden Gem: "Modern Italian designs with bright colors!"Guzzini Le Murrine Blue and Orange 9.8 Inch Bowl, $, available at AmazonLight Therapy LampStephanieHow She Discovered It: "I heard about SAD lamps over a year ago when a friend of a friend used it to combat her depression. Now that I've moved to the cold and dreary midwest I was searching for a way to bring light into my life — literally and figuratively." Why It's A Hidden Gem: "I bought this item with no intention of enjoying it as much as I do. I thought it was a placebo until I used it myself. I actually look forward to waking up in the morning and getting ready with my SAD lamp. I turn it on while I'm showering and getting ready for the day because it mimics sunlight—which is a rarity in winter months in Chicago. Without this lamp, I don't think the nine-ish days we went without sunlight would have been bearable. And I even use the SAD light for my dog. It helps when she can't enjoy walks in the sunshine or see natural sunlight.

" Why It's A Hidden Gem: "This product is super effective for keeping the skin soft and supple. Although my skin is a combination of dry and oily during the cold winter months, it still drinks this product up! While rich in its consistency, it does not clog the pores or cause breakouts. It is one of the first natural, holistic, and organic brands on the market. Many compare it to the popular La Mer cream — only the price point for Weleda is substantially less and it still does wonders for my skin!"Weleda Skin Food Body Cream, 2.5 Ounce, $, available at Bamboo Bath TrayBiancaHow She Discovered It: "Was looking for items to feature in a self-care blog post; bubble baths came to mind... and voilá" Why It's A Hidden Gem: "Baths are so underrated and this item helps you enjoy an hour of reading, mindless phone use, a glass of wine, etc... all at the same time.

Why It's A Hidden Gem: "My engagement ring is so treasured to me, we had reset the diamond from my mother-in-law's original wedding ring, so I wanted a special place for it. Many ring holders I saw were flimsy or looked cheap, this one was solid marble, and had a modern look that I was proud to display. When I first discovered this item, it was only available in white marble, now they have black marble too! And I got a matching one for my husband's wedding band. As friends started getting married left and right, I've gifted these ring holders a ton of times."Craft Monkees Genuine Marble Ring Holder Cones (Set of 2), $, available at AmazonEssential Oil DiffuserTierneyHow She Discovered It: "I heard about it from my sister, who had previously purchased it for herself."

I'm taking a lot more trips for work now, and needed something that could fit a lot of items, withstand some heavy use, and not make me feel like a thru-hiker or grandma." Why It's A Hidden Gem: "It's a perfect size and can hold a deceiving amount of things. On a recent business trip, I fit: my 13" laptop and charging cable, small Moleskine notebook, lots of pens/markers, phone charger, Kindle, 2 tissue packs, makeup bag, hard sunglasses case, wallet, phone, Camelbak water bottle, beanie, with a scarf knotted onto the strap, all with no bulging pockets or overflowing compartments. I like it because it has a bunch of little zipper compartments to help you organize everything (like a good travel bag should) but also is modern enough in its style that you wouldn't peg it as a "travel purse" right off the bat. The soft nylon material, boxy silhouette, and woven fabric cross-body strap put it somewhere aesthetically between a Baggu Cloud Bag and a classic Le SportSac. I've had it for almost 2 years and it still looks new."ZOOEASS Waterproof Nylon Travel Messenger Bag (Green), $, available at AmazonSeamless Cotton ScrunchiesJaneHow She Discovered It: "My hairdresser first gave me one because she said that the traditional hair ties broke my hair because of the strong elastic in them — so I thought I would make my own because I couldn't find ones that were multiple colored, but realized all the fabric was too expensive. A friend suggested Amazon and I found these seamless ones and the price was great." Why It's A Hidden Gem: "It is really special to me because I am on a very tight budget and did start to realize my old elastics were breaking my hair and I was feeling bad about myself. This product and price point made me feel comfortable and better about myself and I have noticed a difference with my hair."BETITETO 20-Pack Seamless Cotton Scrunchies (Multicolor), $, available at AmazonChelsea Rain Boots ClaireHow She Discovered It: "I was looking around for some rain boots because it suddenly got really rainy — and I always borrowed my mom's before I went away to school — when I stumbled on these."

I really didn't think it looked organized or aesthetically pleasing so I went searching for a counter rack!"

Why It's A Hidden Gem: "I took a year off from work to try to get my life back in order. Part of that process was becoming a certified yoga teacher. Teaching yoga pays next to nothing and I was looking for yoga pants that fit well, felt good, didn't stretch out right away and didn't cost me a fortune. I stumbled on these: $14 for a pair of yoga pants that I wear several times a week, wash over and over and they still keep their shape, aren't see-through, and look good. I went back and bought other colors, but the space-dyed charcoal are still my favorite. I get compliments on them all the time and I love that I didn't have to spend a fortune!"TSLA High-Rise Yoga Capris With Pockets, $, available at AmazonLao Gan Ma Chili SauceJenniferHow She Discovered It: "I saw it mentioned in the Lorem Ipsum e-newsletter a year or two ago." Why It's A Hidden Gem: "This stuff is amazing. I'm usually a fiend for spicy food, but this isn't spicy so much as it is crispy, salty, smoky heaven in a jar. Improves every savory thing it's added to, in my opinion."Lao Gan Ma Chilisauce Xiang La Cui (Pack of 3), $, available at AmazonBoyfriend Style Beach CoverupMelissaHow She Discovered It: "I wanted a few cute coverup options but didn't want to spend too much money so I went to Amazon and spent some time looking around before I found this one." Why It's A Hidden Gem: "After a few years of dealing with infertility and many IVF treatments, my body and stomach are just not in a place that I'm comfortable with but traveling, especially to warm place when I can, is my escape. Because of this, I've been all about good coverups. After spending way too much on one from Free People, I started looking at Amazon to find a few I liked and this one has been my favorite. I first purchased it in white and then went back and got it in black and navy. It's loose and cool, it hangs just right and it's actually almost sexy in that "borrowed from the boys" oversized shirt style. Highly recommend if you're looking for a coverup that doesn't have pom-poms and ruffles etc which is not really my vibe.Ekouaer Boyfriend Beach Shirt, $, available at AmazonEpilator Facial Hair RemoverAlexandraHow She Discovered It: "Desperate to find a solution for removing rogue facial hair — and tired of paying the price for professional hair removal — I found this gem late one night while searching Amazon." Why It's A Hidden Gem: "Let's be frank, every girl I know struggles with facial hair removal: from full-blown mustaches to the one-off chin hair we're all waxing, tweezing, laser-ing unwanted hair from our faces. My face, in particular, is covered in peach fuzz and the occasional whisker (or five). With hair too blonde to be lasered and too sensitive for waxing, my only option was threading…I was tired of spending money on threading, so I searched Amazon for a solution. I came upon my hidden gem: the Facial Hair Removal Epilator. The epilator is a little wand with a metal spring that you roll over the areas where you want to remove hair. It takes a few uses to get the hang of the technique, but once you do…. voila! At $8.39 it's the best beauty investment I have ever made. I roll it over my chin quickly each morning after brushing my teeth to remove any unsightly hairs that may have sprung up overnight. I have recommended it to my mom and to all of my friends and everyone loves this incredible find from Amazon."MAZU Facial Hair Removal Epilator, $, available at AmazonPlus-Size Pleather Peplum TopJessicaHow She Discovered It: "I did a google search.

It’s super cute and nice quality. It’s hard to find good quality, trendy plus size clothing. I didn’t want to spend a lot of cash on something I wouldn’t wear a lot. I do suggest sizing up. It’s not really special BUT it’s definitely fun!

They can brighten up any outfit and make it feel more joyful."Best Lady Beaded Bird Tassel Earrings, $, available at AmazonLeather Travel Jewelry CaseCaitlinHow She Discovered It: "I was browsing for a travel jewelry case, and wanted something that could carry enough to last through a two-week vacation but also would be small enough to fit in a carry-on bag." Why It's A Hidden Gem: "I think this is the best jewelry case I've seen because it has space to fit any kind of necklace, bracelet, earring, or ring, is stylish, and can fit easily in a carry-on because of its slim design. Also, compared to other similar organizers, this one clocks in under $40, which made it perfect for my price range. I'd obviously rather spend my money booking another trip than on a designer jewelry case.

I found this adjustable headboard right away and it looks just as good as the $700+ ones I had wanted earlier."Why It's A Hidden Gem: "There were so many cute color options, it was easy to attach to my bed, it's very sturdy, and I got the look I wanted for my room for a really great price."Modway Alyson Chevron Tufted Velvet Headboard, Teal, $, available at AmazonPlaid BlazerSaraHow She Discovered It: "Was looking for a new blazer and found this in a search."

I kept my eye out for Black Friday, Cyber Monday deals but even with those promos, the thing was ~$400. During that time, I kept seeing this eufy vacuum pop up. I had never heard about the brand before, but it was a best-seller, had amazing reviews, and Amazon recommended, which made me feel confident that the thing wouldn't break after a few uses. There was also a Cyber Monday promo going on so I took a leap of faith and purchased it for around $190." Why It's A Hidden Gem: "Since I bought this thing, my live-in boyfriend of 4 years and I haven't had a single argument about who has to vacuum! We have very different levels of cleanliness so the frequency of vacuuming has always been a contention. Now we just have this scheduled to run every few days.

Why It's A Hidden Gem: "My nails have been weak and brittle for as long as I can remember. About a year ago I decided to stop going to salons and give my nails a little TLC at home. During my research, I found a nail lotion called Hard As Hoof with thousands of 5-star ratings so I decided to give it a try. And I am so glad I did! The lotion itself smells great and has tons of natural ingredients and my nails look amazing week to week. They have grown as never before and rarely chip or break.

He recommended a dotted journal that you can carry around with you, so I hit Amazon to find my journal!" Why It's A Hidden Gem: "My journal is special to me because not only am I using it to build up my portfolio, I use it if I need an escape from my day-to-day. Drawing/sketching relaxes and centers me.

Why It's A Hidden Gem: "It's not really hidden since it's a pretty well known and liked product but this is the very first item I have ever opted to use Amazon's 'subscribe & save' feature for. It saves me about a dollar and have it delivered every two months. I use this honey in tea and put it on food and ice cream because I love it so much so I run out about every month or so and it happens to be cheaper on Amazon than anywhere else and I've never had any issues getting a weird or outdated bottle since it comes directly from Mike's Hot Honey."Mike's Hot Honey 12 oz Squeeze Bottle, $, available at AmazonMammoth Lint RollerLibbyHow She Discovered It: "Hilary Rhoda's Instagram (her husband is a neat-freak)."Why It's A Hidden Gem: "I mean, it's a giant lint roller!

I also think they're more comfortable than that sort of plastic-y texture that can give me a rash and just be plain gross. These are 100% organic, USDA-certified, non-GMO, and made in the USA without the use of toxins, pesticides, or synthetic chemicals. Also, I know I am a grown woman and like, who gives an F, but there is something appealing about getting a package of maxi pads delivered discreetly to your door than carrying it home in a flimsy see-through bag.

I was researching all different streaming services for live streaming cable channels. When adding up the costs plus the internet, we were coming out only a few dollars cheaper than having an actual cable box. The best thing I found was the HDTV Antenna. My dad had one in his garage and said he gets upwards of 60 channels. When I was looking on Amazon, this one had some of the best reviews and I purchased on a lightning deal for $21!" Why It's A Hidden Gem: "We get 70 channels with this antenna. And all the channels are 4k quality clear. We really only wanted the major networks to be able to keep up with news and sports. I think most people still think antenna equals big ugly bunny ears on the top of your tv. This antenna is paper-thin, and we hung it up right behind our TV so you can't even see it. The other reason I think this is a special hidden gem is it's a one time purchase of $21 and we get more channels then we need, compared to paying $40+ per/mo for streaming.

Plus, if I ever forgot to pack my eyeliner when traveling, I'll always know it's a solid pick for an emergency shopping trip."Why It's A Hidden Gem: "It can be intimidating at first, but once you get the hang of it, a felt-tip liquid eyeliner is like the little black dress of beauty products. It makes a chic, clean statement worn by itself, but also compliments virtually any eyeshadow look you're going for. And as the name aptly points out, the tip is super precise, which allows me to create a barely-there wing or go more dramatic with the shape.

It's an antique-style setting and really fits my style so I immediately fell in love with it. Once we got it appraised it was valued at a lot more than he paid — like 7k more! It came with an appraisal certificate that was already more than he paid but we took it to a reputable jeweler who went NUTS for it and appraised it even higher. Jewelers especially often ask me if its a family heirloom because they say it's beautifully crafted.
