A wake-up light that simulates a sunrise and plays nature sounds—a far cry, or chirp, from your default ringtone.
Promising review: "I’ve got to say, this special lighted clock alarm is just amazing. It will wake me to FM radio or an alarm tone that can be set to play sound effects like crickets and bubbling brook. Beyond that, there are light options. It not only will wake me to a sunrise effect, but it will do the reverse if I want to go to sleep with the light slowly dimming. I recommend this very highly." —D.R. Bott

A splurge-worthy bar of peppermint soap even a millennial will look forward to using in the shower.
Promising review: "The perfect minty sensation for your body without the stiff dry feeling or the usage of apparent chemical wonders on your body. I would recommend it to anyone who loves mint, peppermint and who enjoys the carefree days of smelling peppermint leaves in your family's garden. Plus, you feel clean all day." —AM.

A minimalist drip coffee maker that looks like it could be the subject of a forthcoming Pixar short. @PeteDocter? Pls call me
Promising review: "What I love:
1. It’s easy to use once you practice each method
2. It’s beautifully made and looks very nice displayed in my kitchen.
3. The coffee is fantastic, no matter which brew method you use. I haven’t had a bad cup yet.
4. It’s much easier to clean than my regular coffee press. The company has a tutorial video that shows you how to clean it properly (and easily).
5. It’s great for making single servings of coffee, which makes it easy to have a fresh cup instead of drinking from an old pot of coffee that has been sitting." —LK

A tube-wringer, because squeezing out that last tiny bit of toothpaste can be incredibly rewarding, wow!
Promising review: "I bought this as a stocking stuffer for my sister-in-law and my whole family went crazy for it! It was the sleeper hit of Christmas gifts. We spent a chunk of time Christmas finding all sorts of tubes to test this out with. It did amazing on the toothpaste in particular, leaving a crinkle in it that kept the toothpaste from flowing back. I ended up ordering one for my dad, an engineer, because he was so impressed with its usefulness." —Kynerj

A spearmint, anise, and clove mouthwash that will change your mind about mouthwashes.
Promising review: "Honestly perfect. The bottle is beautiful and the flavor is very pleasing, not too in your face with either the anise or the clove. I'll probably be using this full time now because the way it leaves your mouth feeling is really incomparable to anything else I've tried. Many mouthwashes leave my mouth stripped, dry, and tasting everything funny for hours, this has none of that. Well done aēsop." —SleepingForest
