This hilarious display of one-star reviews
The US is filled with some pretty incredible natural wonders like the Grand Canyon, Utah's Arches and Yellowstone's towering geysers. Yet some folks don't find them quite as impressive as others. Enter artist Amber Share's depictions of these extraordinary sites and their "least impressed visitors'" one-star reviews.
"This is one of my favorite kinds of books; it is a rare combination of both informative and amusing," says one five-star reviewer. "It is primarily a book that describes various National Parks, but it also pokes fun at the poor reviews that some people have written about these beautiful places."
This spicy $10 honey to put on wings or anything(s)
This multitasking culinary hero is Amazon's Choice for honey. It packs some sweet heat, perfect for drizzling over pizza, wings or BBQ ribs—or even mixing into a cocktail.
“I tend to shy away from spicy foods, but I couldn’t resist the opportunity to try a new condiment to liven up snacks and recipes. I was afraid the spice would be overpowering, but it’s actually quite mellow and smooth; just the right touch of heat,” raves a reviewer. “So far, I’ve enjoyed this on fruit salad (banana, strawberry and blueberry) with cottage cheese, and drizzled on the original Chick-fil-A sandwich. So delicious!”

This puzzle that will become a work of art
Puzzles may be the perfect wintertime activity, stimulating your brain and your senses in one fell swoop. But when the snow starts to melt, are you really supposed to dismantle all that hard work and put the pieces back into the box to just collect dust? Not anymore.
Jiggy puzzles are meant to provide entertainment and then become display-worthy accomplishments. The pieces come in a reusable glass jar along with glue and a straight-edge tool to help puzzlers secure the pieces in place before proudly displaying their efforts.
This USA-made cast-iron skillet that makes everything taste better
A cast-iron skillet is a must in every chef’s (or aspiring chef’s) kitchen. And Lodge’s hefty, pre-seasoned classics are trusted and beloved. The company, founded in 1896, gets a lot of love from Amazon shoppers: This generously sized skillet has a 5-star rating from more 96,600 reviewers. A great gift for anyone, even if all they ever make is scrambled eggs (so much more delicious when cooked in cast iron).
“Really a great purchase—love this cast-iron skillet,” says one of many, many fans. “.... I also really like the fact that this is made in the USA. American-made products are just not easy to find anymore. But really, the proof in the quality of this cast iron was obvious when i made sweet potato corn bread and baked it in the oven in this skillet. It came out so nice and brown and moist.”
This book that will take you around the world... from the comfort of your couch
A bestseller in its category on Amazon, this epicurean delight takes readers across all seven continents to marvel at some of the world's most interesting ingredients and how people have used them. Think: Minnesota butter sculptures or fish sauce factories discovered from the ancient Roman Empire. This assortment of history, travel culture is sure to delight a food enthusiast on your list.
One five-star reviewer called it "Sumptuous. Revolting. Luxurious. Shocking. Deeply informative." Another explains, "This isn’t the kind of book you read in one sitting. This is the kind of book you pick up over and over again, and even again to reference before taking a trip. It makes an amazing gift for any food- or travel-lover in your life, but make sure to get one for yourself as well, because every page holds beautifully written delights."
These practical (and fun) meat shredders, just $13
A No. 1 bestseller, this set of wolverine-like claws make a great gift for the grill master in your life. Or, honestly, anyone who cooks (they double as salad tossers!).
“A great set of shredders for the price,” writes a reviewer who replaced an old pair by another manufacturer. “These Bear Paws are sharp, they shred meat easily and fit my hands very well. They're comfortable to hold, which is nice when shredding 10 to 20 pounds of pork for a party. I also use one claw when carving meat. I stick one claw into the meat to hold it steady while I carve with a knife, works much better than trying to use a fork...” They’re also great for mixing salads or lifting a turkey out of the roasting pan.
This fun game they can even play by Zoom, just $16
Among Amazon’s most popular games is this quirky drinking game that’s sure to bring on plenty of belly laughs. If your family or friends could use a little prompt to keep things interesting, this hilarious game with a 5-star rating from over 20,000 reviewers is for you.
Says a happy shopper: “This game is easy to play, silly, and fun. Even between two people, it's a fun way to spur conversation and have something to do while drinking together.” And it has staying power, too: “...the different people you play with make the game new every time.”
These cushy-comfy plush slippers anyone would love
Made with a super-plush memory foam footbed and high-pile fleece, these slippers are as cozy as they are cute. Plus, they’re a mainstay on Amazon’s best-seller list and boast a perfect rating from more than 21,000 reviewers. Plus, they come 10 color and pattern options. Literally the perfect Christmas gift — indulgent and practical.
One reviewer calls them “the comfiest things I’ve ever put on my feet,” adding, “these slippers feel like a hug on my feet. They have a hard bottom so you can wear them out. The top part is so incredibly soft!!!”
These environmentally conscious coffee pods
While most of us love the ease with which we can get a quick cup of Joe whenever we want, many also hate the wastefulness of the process. Enter the reusable K Cups for Keurig machines. Amazon's choice and the choice of over 18,000 five-star reviewers, this four pack of pods allows caffeine connoisseurs to use their own brew in their Keurig machine and minimize waste.
One reviewer called it a "no-brainer", explaining, "My wife & I have dramatically different tastes in coffee, so the K-Cup concept works very well for us...These reusable K-Cups have been the perfect answer....I'm pretty sure these have more than paid for themselves in the 1st 2lbs of coffee we purchased (Dark roast for me, medium for her)."
This natural-clay face mask that’s only $15
The quintessential natural clay mask is one of those awesome, affordable secrets held close by beauty experts — and your giftee will never look back at expensive brands once she indulges in it. And at just $15 for a one-pound tub, it will last practically forever. Nearly 46,000 reviewers give it a 5-star rating, with some saying it’s totally transformed their skin.
“Saved my face,” wrote a bride-to-be who shared her before and after photos in her review. “I’m getting married in two weeks and about three months ago I said, ‘wow, ok, this is my skin. How am I going to cover it up for the wedding?’ I came across this mask online and saw reviews and thought, ‘there is no way this mask helps with acne marks. I have yet to find one that does.’ Three months later the results just show you how fast and amazing this product is. I will never use another face mask!!!!”
These fabulous ‘pizza socks’ to help you win Christmas
This box of sox in the form of pizza is the delightful gift everyone needs right now. Your recipient gets four pairs, presented thusly, to mix or match (he or she can wear crust on the left and pepperoni on the right, say). The quality of socks is as high as the smile-quotient of this charming presentation. Nearly 6,000 shoppers give these socks a 4.8-star rating, so snatch them up before they’re gone.
“I bought these for my 28-year-old son who is currently stationed in KY (US Army Special Reactions Team). He always complains about the pizza (being from NJ, we KNOW pizza). Since I couldn’t send him any pies I figured I’d get him these (as a gag gift). Well, let me tell you, they were NOT considered a gag gift to him, he LOVED them. Said they were probably the best gift I gave him (umm I gave him many expensive gifts)—goes to show you price isn’t everything,” says a happy shopper. “The quality of the socks were great. They fit well and didn’t make his feet sweat. The best part was the presentation. The pizza box was adorable and the creative way the socks were rolled to look like an actual pie was so cool and it even had the pizza protector (you’ll see).....”
This ingenious invention that eliminates the need for a spoon rest
If you're constantly scrubbing up the counter after cooking a spaghetti dinner, these grippers may be the solution for you. Available in red or black and nine, 12 or 15 inches, the tongs will help keep your kitchen clean. A clever curve at the neck elevates the silicone-covered tips to prevent them from transferring sauce or oil onto your countertop surface. Plus, the waffle design of the silicone itself makes for an extra-grippy hold so your noodles won't escape before they reach the bowl.
One clean customer declares, "A super design idea, silicone grabbing ends so perfect for non-stick coated cookware. Buy some for your friends and they'll think of you every time they use them."
This $5 gag-gift-that’s-not-really-a-gag that folks swear by
Want a gag gift that will actually be put to use? The iconic Poo-Pourri toilet spray is a No. 1 best-seller on Amazon because it actually works wonders. And with a 5-star rating from over 116,500 reviewers, people swear by it. Great for anyone in a crowded house.
“It has an amazing lemon scent,” said a grateful five-star reviewer. “It is very fresh and not overpowering. It is not synthetic smelling. With most room sprays, you end up just smelling flowery poo. This masks the smell completely. I can walk in the bathroom 30 seconds after my boyfriend and only smell lemon.”
