Category: These Things Are Better Than Your Things
Some products are genuinely life-changing. Most aren’t. This is where we sort through the noise and tell you which ones are actually worth buying — and which ones are TikTok-famous for no reason.
How do you choose what to recommend?
I only write up products I’d buy myself, gift to my mom, or recommend to my daughter. If it’s overhyped junk, I’ll tell you. If it’s quietly amazing, I’ll shout about it.
Do you make money from these recommendations?
Yes — most product links are affiliate links, meaning if you buy through them I earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. It’s how I keep this site running. That said, no brand has ever paid me to lie. Recommendations stay honest because that’s the whole point.
What’s the most “life-changing” product you’ve ever covered?
Honestly? The boring ones. The cleaning gadget nobody talks about. The kitchen tool that saved 20 minutes a day. The skincare bottle that didn’t break the bank. The flashy stuff is fun, but the boring stuff is what actually changes your life.

Sunflowers just make me happy, I had no idea there were so many different types of sunflowers and I just fell in love with the ‘Teddy Bear’ Sunflowers!

Teddy Bear Dwarf Sunflowers are something I had never heard of, but looking at them brings me happiness, which means I need to plant some.

Pike – Customer review
SeedGeeks
They’re a happy bright yellow color that just screams summer with double petals.
They grow to be about 2 feet to 3 feet tall and each plant will produce several 4-inch to 6-inch flowers.
SeedGeeks
These are great flowers to use as a border plant, and then you can cut some to have in a vase in your home.
Teddy Bear Dwarf Sunflowers are very tolerant to drought as well as different soil conditions and types.
SeedGeeks
I’m not the best at keeping plants alive, but it seems that these are easy ones to care for.
I bought over 20 packages of flower seeds because I gave the others (that I bought for myself) out for stocking stuffers. Love these!
Sandy Watkins – Customer review
SeedGeeks
The seeds are non-GMO, US-grown, open-pollinated, untreated (no pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides), they are also tested regularly to make sure they are meeting the highest germination standards.
When you order the seeds they do come with detailed growing instructions for the best results.
SeedGeeks
I also love that the seeds are packaged in eco-friendly resealable packets made from recycled content, even the ink is vegetable-based!
