Great idea, fantastic branding and really nice product. I love taking these travelling - I feel like an absolute packing champ! Amazing to see how it disappears under the shower water!

I've bought multiple LastObject products on Kickstarter (and later on Amazon as well) and have settled on a 4 for my review as I absolutely love their travel tissue packs but am less impressed with some of their other products. I cannot say enough good things about their LastTissue - the entire system is so smart - you pull the clean tissues (cotton 'hankies') out of the top and then once you've used it you push it up through a slot in the bottom and there is a silicon slider which separates the dirty ones from the clean. Then once you've finished you just throw the dirty ones in the laundry. I bought an extra pack of the tissues so that I have a set to use while one lot is in the wash. The pack is the same size as a standard pack of travel tissues and the closure works really well. The silicone isn't the kind that dust and dirt stick to so it's nice to keep in your bag and pocket. I have bought several as gifts for family and friends. Now onto the products that I don't love as much - I have the LastSwab and I would describe it as 'fine'. But then I don't know what I was expecting. It is what it is - a silicone swab. I'm not one to use Q-tips as I'm squeamish to stick anything in my ears but I will use this to clear some earwax that's not too far in. But the LastRound was something I was very excited about but have been really disappointed. I use toner every day and don't like to use cotton rounds as I feel that's wasteful. I usually buy bamboo or cotton reusable rounds but I don't like that they're just loose in my bathroom drawer so the idea of the container was very appealing. Unfortunately they were very hard and scratchy, they stained very easily (just from face dirt which none of my other rounds had this issue with) and just got worse with every wash. I think they must have realised this about the staining issue as I see they have now brought out a 'pro' edition where the only difference is that they are black.
Feedback
Only now as I am looking at the website am I seeing that it says that you should wet the rounds before using and clean right after you're done. So I would recommend that users do this and that LastObject make this more clear on the packaging.

Absolutely love the Boy Brow - have bought it multiple times now and always find the purchasing process straightforward, arrives quickly and is packaged well with a cute bag that I actually want to use and a sample. I enjoy that it's not too big so it's easy to throw in my bag to take with me for the day and doesn't dry out if I'm not using it as often.
Teva

I bought my first pair of TEVAs - a pair of plain black platforms - about 4 years ago now and they are perhaps the most comfortable shoes I own. I have bone spurs in my big toe making most shoes very uncomfortable and I usually have to wear a carbon fibre splint (obviously not possible with sandals) but my toe doesn't bother me when wearing these. I've worn them in all kinds of conditions - jungle treks through Cambodia, all day walking around Manhatten, river floating in BC and they're always great. Usually I am really hard on shoes and they look so worn out really quickly but I've had these a few years and they still look great - just a bit of fluff in the velcro which I could pick out. So many people have given me compliments and asked me where I got them for and several friends and since bought them for themselves.
Draft Top

I don't know what I was doing wrong but I found this incredibly difficult to use the first time. I had to watch some youtube videos and even the other two people I was with couldn't get it (and no, we hadn't been drinking yet!) Once we figured it out it was pretty straightforward and kind of neat but to be honest I put it back in the drawer and I've never pulled it out since (and that must have been 9 months ago now). But, y'know - does what it says on the tin! Fun fathers day gift or for someone who drinks a lot of cans?!

Could do with better instructions on the packaging.
Make Nice Company

I just love this company!! Their solid dish soaps are so great - a little goes a long way and the blocks last forever. Previously my only complaint was that it was slip around on the dish that I had it in but then I found out that they sell these fantastic holders that are made of plant materials (not plastic!) and fit both sizes of their blocks. On their website they even sell imperfect items which I love as I don't care if the soap has a chip missing! And also blocks made up of scrap dish soap. What a fantastic move towards being zero waste. Oh and it cleans dishes really well!!
Scrub Daddy

I read about Scrub Daddy in Bon Appetit and the way they raved about them I just had to give it a go. Usually I wouldn't have something so ugly on my kitchen countertop but this thing is great! It is so well designed and thought through - the spoon slot and the finger holes, the hard texture that turns soft in hot water - GENIUS! I despise sponge smells so I don't usually have sponges or if I do I have eco sponges and don't keep them very long but the Scrub Daddy doesn't keep smells and lasts forever. It's magic. Truly, a sponge worth raving about!
BAGGU

I have BAGGUs that are 15 years old!! And still going strong! In the very early days they even replaced a bag for me that I somehow tore (I must have put a knife or pair of shears in it? anyway, totally my mistake!). I usually carry a Mini and a Standard in my bag and if I'm going to the grocery store I'll take extras. The number of times cashiers have commented on how much stuff the bags can handle is comical. These make great gifts, especially for people who are hard to shop for and with the huge range of patterns they have now you'll have no problem finding the perfect design to fit the recipient. I love that they've expanded into homeware now and I just bought the most beautiful pot holders. They also have a lot of other great products on their website that I'd love to see in person. Also - it was started by a mother/daughter duo which I just love!
Mahabis

I bought my first pair of Mahabis for my housemate about 8 or 9 years ago because she would wear her slippers outside to smoke then come back inside and put them up on the couch and make it dirty so I thought these would be the perfect solution - she could keep the rubber soles by the door and wear them outside and slip them off when she came in. Such a great idea!! I loved the look and feel of them so much that a year or so later I bought myself a pair that I still wear today SEVEN YEARS LATER!
Feedback
My only complaint is that on my second pair of Mahabis the snap on one of the slippers never stayed properly closed so whenever I'm walking it will pop off and the sole will come unattached. For this reason I only tend to wear them around the house or to the end of the garden as I'm too scared to lose it.

I like to have a bowl of cereal as the odd late afternoon or evening snack so a low carb/high protein option was very appealing! I decided to give it a chance and bought a few boxes online to justify the cost of shipping and to get a better deal. Overall I liked them all - there was a bit of a "protein powder" after taste and a slight texture you might expect from a 'healthy' cereal but the flavour was good and the nutritional benefits made it worth it. The main downside is the price (especially when combined with shipping and I believe they are currently only available online so this is unavoidable. Certainly I wouldn't switch to this for daily breakfasts given the price but as a once in a while snack it's all right but I would look out for sales and most likely wait until I saw it than seeking it out online when I'm out.

Could be less sweet! Smaller boxes (or multiple sealed bags within the box) for people who just want it as snacks and don't want the box to go stale.
