Caddis
Experience
I've bought four pairs of these. Given the price, that says a lot. I.e. they are worth it. The quality of the lenses and frames is superb. I like that multiple people (on Zoom) have asked me about them. I like that when I had trouble adjusting to the bi-focal sunglasses version they took the return gracefully. FWIW I have a fairly small face and use the Bixby frame, in multiple colrs.
Forme
Experience
Against the odds, I had high hopes for the Forme bra. It's basically like a super un-stretchy and hot sports bra. Some reviewers talked about how hard it is to get on--that was not my issue. It was just too much like wearing a straightjacket all day and I did not perceive any benefits.
Feedback
I could deal with the high price because it is made in the USA and if it worked it would be very worth it. The $14.99 shipping for something that costs $3-4 to ship was usurious. It really reduced my potential trust in the company before the product even arrived. I also thought it was crazy that it had to be returned unworn...how would you even know if it worked? This is a company that does not back up its own products. Who would buy it just to return it? It's not a cocktail dress.
Cocofloss
Experience
I really wanted to try this brand but they seemed to require creating an account before even putting an item in their cart.
Feedback
I did that, but the "sign up" button did not work. So I could not create an account, nor buy as a guest. I used to run an ecomm website so I am pretty sure this time it was not user error, unless the site does not work with Chrome/MacBook.
Genusee
Experience
I bought my pair on a trip to Detroit a couple years ago. They are still going strong. The plastic has a bit more give than some glasses offer so maybe that is why they are holding up well.
Feedback
More colors.
The Hampton Grocer
Experience
I tried several times to order the granola--it sounds terrific. The cart function of the site is not working--it won't accept any adds. I tried opening an account to see if I could get in to the shopping cart more smoothly post login. No luck. I opened a customer service chat. No one responded. Been trying on and off for hours. Yikes. Want The Hampton to have a fair shot, but on the day they are on the home page of TT they should have done some site quality control.
Feedback
Have a functional site. Business basics. Man the live chat if you offer it.
Home Dough
Experience
I have only made the molasses ginger cookies. They were delicious. I liked the quantity, packaging, taste, instructions. I placed them a bit low in the oven and they spread out bigger than I expected. Could be user error. I served the cookies to three family members and they 1) devoured them and 2) thought they were homemade. (I bake a lot.)
Feedback
I am eager to try the upcoming gluten free concoctions.
Stasher Bag
Experience
I like the idea, but I don't like washing or filling them. Full disclosure, I helped launch this brand MANY years ago on The Grommet.
Feedback
I like the wider mouth newer products.
Bombas
Experience
Great mission and great quality. I increasingly find myself only wanting to wear my Bombas. The quality improved over the years since I helped launch them on The Grommet.
Feedback
More knee high socks for those of us who go old school in cold weather.
Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams
Experience
Pretty simple: I think this is the best ice cream in the US. Full disclosure, I discovered this company when it had two stores and barely started distribution. I helped launch it on The Grommet.
Feedback
I understand that corn starch is a key ingredient to creating the mouth feel of Jeni's. That kind of bugs me. And I placed an order recently and thought the flavor offerings were more conservative than they used to be.
Sundaily
Experience
I thought anything that provided daily sun protection in such an easy form would be great to try. I used it for a few years.
Feedback
I had no meaningful sunburns during this time period. I am not the best person with sunscreen so that is saying a lot. I can't say whether my skin is better than it would have been. The only issue I have is that it has been out of stock at the acquiring company for months and months so it is no longer in my repertoire.
