I swear we had a thread like this a long time ago, but I have searched and searched and can't find anything. At the risk of ruining a four-year, 5,000-odd-post reputation as a non-spammer, I sometimes find there are certain items that I am eager to recommend to my friends as unexpected gems in the dirtpile of commercially-available items.
First off,
Breathe Right nasal strips. These things are amazing. Initially they look like a gimmick, but I've been congested (and disrupting Mr. Clod's sleep with snoring) for so long that I was willing to try anything. Holy cow. They really, really work. The first night I wore one I woke up feeling more rested than I had in months, and I'm told the snoring has stopped. I've used them every night since.
Anyone else have a recommendation to share?
