Yes, that's the right answer! πŸ‘

Mercury (used to be used for fillings), Venus (Williams, the famous tennis player), Earth (in plain sight under our feet), Mars (Mars Bars candy), Jupiter (Roman god of thunder), Saturn (has rings), Uranus (the planet is unusually tilted), and Neptune (Neptune Ice is a brand) while Pluto is no longer a planet.

Hint: only use the initial hints to get to the answer, the ''but not's'' are irrelevant. Then think of things that come in 8's or 9's and how they might fit.

Even with 2 clues I'm at loss with your last riddle.

Looking at this riddle again I still don't know what it is...... Would I be right thinking it's somehow connected with planets. Just a guess

Knot could work, screw would probably work even better.

A gift to say "sorry", "congrats", and "goodbye",
