If there's one tip I've picked up from shopping online, it's to always check the reviews. Customers are always willing to tell you the nitty-gritty details of a product; the stuff you wish you'd known before buying it. But if you're too busy to sit down and sift through all that feedback, don't worry — I've gathered a bunch of amazing finds for you to check out, and they all come certified with near-perfect reviews.
If you ask me, you can't go wrong with a single item on this list. Case in point? This laptop stand with 96% four- and five-star review feedback. While it may not look like much at first, the beauty is that it can open up tons of desktop space — all by simply holding your laptops upright. Or, if you love taking showers to de-stress after a long day, there's also a rainfall shower head with thousands of positive comments from happy reviewers. And with its high-pressure design, even homes with weak plumbing can enjoy a spa-like experience.
So what are you waiting for? People have been calling these genius things with near-perfect reviews some of their most amazing finds of the year — and I think I can even hear that shower head calling your name.
The coaster that helps keep your drinks warm
Coffee, tea, hot chocolate — whatever you're drinking, this heated coaster can help keep it warm. It takes two minutes or less to warm up your drink, and is designed to work with most cups. Plus, the extra-long power cable makes it easy to use with distant outlets.
A reading light that sits comfortably around your neck
Whether you're tackling a nighttime DIY project or reading in the dark, this light can help. It sits around your neck so that you can use it completely hands-free. Three temperature modes help ease strain on your eyes when working in the dark — and it's even dimmable up to three levels. One reviewer even wrote that "it's a huge game changer for reading."
This luxurious rainfall shower head with high water pressure
If the water pressure in your shower is weak, try upgrading to this rainfall shower head. The high-pressure design makes the most of weak plumbing, while the rainfall layout brings a little bit of the spa to your bathroom. Plus, it's made from stainless steel — so there's very little risk of rust.
A diffuser that looks like a cute potted plant
Not into the LED diffusers you typically see in stores? Consider this cute succulent version. You still have the choice of 7 different LED colors, however the fake succulent sprouting from the top sets it apart from the rest. Choose from four pot colors: blue, grey, pink, or off-white.
The power bank with a built-in solar panel
Phone always running out of battery? Keep this power bank with you for quick charges while you're on the go. It's able to charge the iPhone X more than two times, whereas an iPhone 8 can get more than three charges out of it. And with a solar panel built into the back, you can easily recharge it without any outlet nearby. "The product has great build quality," wrote one reviewer. "It feels great in the hand and has a rugged shell to protect it from falls."
A laptop dock that can help you save desktop space
If you've got limited desktop space, this dock can help open some up when you're not using your laptop. It holds your laptop upright, giving it a smaller footprint than when laying flat — and the anodized aluminum frame is even scratch-resistant.
This smartphone stand that's perfect for watching videos
Don't get stuck holding your phone up when you want to watch a video — just pop it onto this stand. The wide base keeps your phone steady whether you're watching videos in portrait or landscape mode.

These cups that cool drinks without watering them down
Tired of drinking watered-down beverages? These cups have insulated walls filled with a specialized cooling gel.

A compact shelf that adds storage to desks
Books, office supplies, printers — this little shelf is perfect for all of it. The frame is made from tough steel that can hold up to 44 pounds, while the genuine wood shelves give it a more classy feel than particleboard.
The dishcloths that are super-absorbent

They're suitable to use on all types of surfaces — from stainless steel to marble — and you even have the choice of eight different colors.

A juicer that works with all types of citrus
Whether you're working with limes or grapefruits, this juicer can handle both — and everything in-between. The drip-free pour spout makes it easy to transfer your juiced liquid without creating a mess, while the measurement markings on the side help you keep track of how much you have.
This outlet extender that adjusts to fit bulky plugs
With six pivoting sockets on this outlet extender, you can easily adjust each individual one in order to keep bulky plugs from blocking the other outlets. Built-in surge protection helps keeps your devices protected from electrical spikes — and there's even a ledge on the top where you can rest a phone as it charges.
A night light that gently guides your way to the bathroom
Don't blind yourself with that bright overhead bathroom light. Instead, let this gentle night light guide your way through the dark to the toilet.

A set of hangers coated in luxurious velvet
Tired of discovering your clothes have slipped off your hangers? Then it's time to upgrade to these velvet ones.

"I constantly get asked 'Where is the light coming from?' by guests."
These smart bulbs that don't require a hub
Some smart bulbs require an extra smart hub in order to work — luckily, these ones don't require any additional purchases. You can pair them with Alexa or Google Home, but if you don't have either? The free downloadable smartphone app can be used to adjust their brightness, color, and more.
A cooling pad to help keep your laptop from overheating
Ever notice how hot your laptop can get when it's sitting flat? This cooling pad can help. The height is adjustable, which means it can also be used as a laptop stand — and the three built-in fans run at an ultra-silent level so as to not disturb others. One customer wrote, "It's super quiet! It's also lightweight, yet very sturdy, and the metal mesh does an excellent job of keeping the laptop in place and directing the air around more evenly."
The smartphone car charger that works wirelessly
Pop any Qi-enabled phone into this wireless charger for a quick power-up. Intelligent identification technology allows it to determent the optimal charging speed for your phone — and unlike some wireless chargers, there's no need to remove your case in order for it to work.
A clever organizer for water bottles, sauces, and more

This dish rack that can also be used as a trivet
Still using that clunky dish rack with a plastic drip tray? Then it's time to upgrade to this over-the-sink version.

The headphone hook that can help prevent damage
I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've swiped my headphones off my desk — but if I had this hook, my headphones would certainly be in better shape. It mounts underneath your desk using a screw clamp, which means there are zero tools required for installation. Plus, it can even hold up to 5 pounds.
A webcam cover that keeps you hidden until you're ready
If you've ever mistakenly turned on your webcam before you were ready to be on video, you'll be glad you grabbed these covers. The ultra-thin profile won't affect how your screen closes shut, and they're designed to work with all types of laptops.
