Everything is a lot. This might help.

This Might Help is a small, slightly unserious collection of things, mostly available online.

We’ve noticed some small, slightly ridiculous things are doing a surprising amount of heavy lifting right now, and it seemed rude not to share them.

Where the things come from

Found in the wild

Real things people have reviewed elsewhere, with their actual words and a link to where they said it.

Submitted here

Recommendations from people like you, about things they own and, against all odds, don’t regret.

Editor’s notes

Things we’d recommend, written by us and clearly labelled as ours.

Who’s behind it

This Might Help is run by June and Otto, who have spent long careers explaining complicated things to sceptical people, and would now like to explain why you need a tiny clay potato.

The small print, but readable

• Some links are affiliate links. If you buy something through one, we may earn a small commission, at no extra cost to you. It doesn’t change what we pick. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
• We don’t collect much. The details are in our privacy policy.
• Some products are shown as our own editorial illustrations rather than photos. Check the retailer’s page for what you’re actually getting.
• All reviews are real. We’d never make one up. That would defeat the point.
