19. An octopus-shaped blackhead remover for exfoliating your skin while pulling out whiteheads, blackheads, and other pore-clogging yuckies.
Promising review: “After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, smells great too. Here’s how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like me.” —LuckLocust

Promising review: “I really love this cookbook. The recipes are the type you’d find if you traveled to Italy and had a meal with an Italian family. Also, you’ll find recipes you don’t see in most Italian cookbooks but are mainstream enough that you know what they are. Delicious!” —Rebecca
