A set of snack boxes
Promising review: “Perfect for my kids to make their own Lunchables! The 10-pack is great because they can “meal prep” it and have it readily available for when they want an after school or a grab-and-go snack. I thought they would be flimsy, like the take and toss Tupperware’s but they are a little more durable. (Think of it as twice the thickness.) I bought the clear ones so they could see through the boxes and know what’s inside without having to open the lid. Fits crackers, cheese, pepperoni perfectly! Will definitely be a lot cheaper than constantly buying Lunchables and those Sargento Balanced Break snacks that cost almost $2 a box!” — MyMomShopsAtGoodwill
A key and item locator
Promising review: “I love this because it’s so easy to use and does not require an app or anything like that. Just press the remote and you’ll be able to find whatever you’re searching for in seconds. This was a total life changer for me always having my kids grabbing my keys or my wallet etc etc. I would definitely buy this again.” — MV
A cube timer with 15-, 20-, 30-, and 60-minute intervals
Promising review: “Bought two of these for my kids to help them be organized in their studies for semester exams. They’d study for 45 then take a 15-minute break. Super easy to set the timer. Just put the time you want facing up!” — Busy Mama
Or, an adorable mushroom timer
Promising review: “My kids really enjoy utilizing this timer to keep track of the minutes while they work on their lessons.” — Lee
A pack of slim reusable ice packs
Promising review: “They are still cool when my kids get home from school. They are very easy to clean. The size is perfect because if my kids want just a snack, I can give them one ice pack and if they want me to pack them a lunch then I have no problem fitting two ice packs in their lunchbox. Plus my kids LOVE dinosaurs!” — Ashley Brookshire
A chore chart to keep the house functioning like a well-oiled machine
This comes with a magnetic chore chart, six dry erase markers with magnetic caps, a magnetic dry erase board, and a magnetic dry erase to-do list.
Promising review: “As the world continues to adjust to our new normal, there are many things we can do to help better manage our lives. During quarantine, I’ve deepened my appreciation for the need to set goals and aids to achieve them. Having a small but concise outline with a breakdown of daily and weekly goals has helped me. I came across these handy and magnetic lists and mini chalkboards. These helpful essentials have really assisted me with staying on track with all mommy duties and other matters. I have been homeschooling for 3 years now and in addition to my planner, I now have these little lists for my daughter which will assist in providing her an overview of both her school work and daily chores. They are neat, appropriately sized, and surprisingly, are very reasonably priced given the great quality. This is a first-time purchase from JJPRO for me, and based on THIS product, it won’t be my last!!!” — Marva M Lloyd
A pack of laminated math posters
Promising review: “Best math posters for preschool through third grade. It took me two weeks to decide which math posters I should buy from what company. I chose these because: 1) the content covered, and 2) the layout of the content is easy to read and process. They complement the math curriculums my children have, from simple counting and shapes (pre-school through Kindergarten) all the way to roman numerals, telling time and key words for solving math word problems. I also appreciate the colors used, the size, and the quality, as well as the price and how many you get — what a value! These are not double sided. They arrived flat, not rolled up. I HIGHLY recommend these to give that added boost of comprehension to your little ones whether as a teacher, parent, or both in my case.” — YellowTulips77
Photomath
Or Photomath, an app that can help your kids get math help. The app is available on Android or Apple devices. There’s a free option, or you can upgrade to the plus version of the app for $9.99 per month or $69.99 per year.
A magnetic air fryer cheat sheet
Promising review: “Bought an air fryer several months ago which I haven’t used a whole lot because it came with only a few recipes but not enough info on other items to cook. The Lotteli cheat sheet gives you cooking times and temperatures for a lot of your common everyday foods in a magnetized easy-to-read, two-sheet combo that fills in where air fryer pamphlet that came with the unit leaves out. I also bought an air fryer cook book but this only comes with specific recipes, whereas the cheat sheet fills in the void for quick basic needs. Very happy with this purchase! 😁” — B. Frank Smith
A portable storage organizer
Promising review: “We own a few of these now and have had our first one for almost five years. Very durable. We had names added to them with vinyl and they make great art caddies!” — Amanda
“Love this to keep school supplies organized” — Gaby
A wrinkle release spray
Promising review: “As a college student with a full course load, I’m in and out of my room all the time. This helps me keep my clothes wrinkle-free without having to waste time ironing them. It’s also great as it leaves a VERY nice smell on my clothes.” — Seth
A microwave pasta cooker
Promising review: “This is an excellent, easy way to make pasta, taking just 12 minutes in the microwave for a serving. It’s true that 12 minutes seems longer on microwave time than it does when you’re busy making the pasta the traditional way, but in reality, the time is cut in at least half when you take into account waiting for the water to boil. It’s important to follow the instructions though and not use the lid in the microwave. Doing so won’t hurt the product; it’s simply that the container and lid will be just a bit too hot to handle when draining the pasta after you remove it. I found this out the hard way when I dropped my serving while trying to drain :). The cold lid, however, lets you pick up the container and it drains extremely well, pour into a bowl and it’s perfect-cooked pasta every time. The measuring holes also keep me from eating too much, or wasting it. A serving is perfect, and lets me know exactly how much I’m eating.” — Paul W.
A rapid egg cooker
The rapid egg cooker allows you to make hard-boiled, poached, and scrambled eggs. It comes with a base, lid, measuring cup, poaching tray for poached eggs, a six-slot boiling tray for hard-boiled eggs, an omelet bowl, and a recipe/instruction booklet. Add eggs and water (depending on the type of eggs you’re making) and your meal will be done in minutes.
Promising review: “If you are on the fence about getting one of these, GET ONE. It really is as easy as it sounds to have a perfectly cooked egg, no guesswork. If you’re particular about egg yolks like me and like them soft but not runny or raw, I’ve attached an image of a perfectly soft-boiled egg that was cooked as directed (I timed it, this one was 11 minutes. You don’t have to time it at all as the buzzer will go off, just for reference). Makes healthy eating a breeze in the morning! Where has this been all my life!?” — Rebecca
A bleach-free no-scrub shower cleaner
Promising review: “I was so skeptical. I had a cleaning business for…
