3. For the gamer
This cute wireless gaming mouse features ultra-fast responses and lasts up to 250 hours from a single AA battery. It only weighs 99 grams so you can control it with ease, and it comes with six programmable buttons for quick reactions when you’re in your game.
Promising review: “First of all, the battery the mouse came with lasted FOREVER!? I use the mouse frequently and the battery life is crazy with just one battery! … My hands are [definitely] on the smaller size and this mouse fits it perfectly so definitely recommend if you have smaller hands or want a small mouse! And it is not heavy, very lightweight in my opinion!”
4. For the influencer
It can be difficult to find the right angle for a picture. When you’re out and about with friends or family and you want to take a group photo, this adjustable tripod is the perfect solution. Clip your smartphone in and trust that it won’t fall from this tripod.

5. For the couch potato
Cable TV tends to show the same content over and over — and we’re all tired of all those commercials! It’s time to invest in a Fire TV Stick that comes with a remote control that allows you to tell Alexa what you’re looking for. Access hundreds of thousands of titles, apps, music and more.
Promising review: “Easy to set up. Greatly helped with buffering. This is a replacement for an older Firestick & it is well worth the change. Loved the old Firestick, but this one is even better. I purchased two for 2 different televisions & intend to purchase another for a different TV.”
6. For the creative
When you’re constantly creating projects, you’re also creating digital folders and storing content. One great way to keep your content safely backed up is with a portable drive. This USB-C, 128GB SanDisk drive is perfect for anyone who needs to store their work projects, art, photos and more.
Promising review: “I am a photographer and I also use my phone to take many photos and videos with the product it made it so easier to flush my data from my phone and into my [e]xternal hard drive. In the beginning, I thought it might be a bit complicated but after I received it, it was totally easy to use.“
7. For the coffee connoisseur
Everyone loves a nice hot cup of Joe. Microwaving isn’t really an option since much of the flavor is lost, and it’s a hassle. Instead, make the coffee lover in your home happy with the Mr. Coffee mug warmer. Just plug it in and turn it on. Set your cup on the warmer and enjoy.
Promising review: “I love this thing. If you are not a fast coffee or tea drinker, it’s perfect for you. It will keep your beverage as hot and for as long as you want it. I even take it with me when I travel. I value my comfort.”

Promising review: “Was purchased to replace the TV remote when searching or using the browser function. For these two things it is sooo much better than the remote arrow keys. A few buttons are very small but overall it such an improvement. Easy to pair with the TV and the track pad works great.”
9. For the puzzler

It comes with 12 puzzle pieces, 200 puzzle challenges, a carrying case and a 48-page illustrated puzzle book. Enjoy hours of fun figuring out all Kanoodle’s puzzle games.
Promising review: “Very engaging activity for kids & older folks. Grandkids love it! Son & I raced (I bought 2) to see who could solve puzzles faster. … As a former teacher, I see power & benefits to playing the game which far outweigh ‘game time’ —although it works great for just that!!”
10. For the camper
What do you give to the person who already seems to have it all? This multi-tool is the perfect gift. It includes a tungsten carbide blade, ceramic blade, all-weather fire starter, emergency whistle, fishhook sharpener, lanyard hole, a tapered diamond rod and more.
Promising review: “A very effective and easy-to-use portable sharpener. The fire striker works well and I like the size of it. Solid purchase and a good alternative to bulky expensive sharpeners.”
11. For the tuber
If you’ve ever gone tubing, you know how relaxing it can be. But what about the kids? Not all kids are happy just to veg out as they ride smoothly down a lazy river. That’s where these waterproof cards come in. They can be used to play while tubing or in a pool, at a hot tub or even camping.
Promising review: “We like using these waterproof cards, outside and inside, they are durable [and] easy to read. I will be buying some for gifts!”
12. For the kids
This little tin can robot is an educational toy that teaches kids the value of recycling and reusing. Kids can repurpose used soda cans to create a functional robot. The kit contains instructions and all the tools your children require to put it together. All you need to provide is a single AA battery.
Promising review: “This little guy was fun and easy to build! Instructions explained everything clearly, and once he was built…he worked great, rolling across the floor as tin can robots are wont to do! Would purchase again!”
13. For the fun and fancy-free
Some people have mini cornhole games in the office, but you can give them this cool billiard table. Let them take breaks to the next level by practicing trick shots, improving their game and more. Play with the whole family, or set this pool table aside for game nights and downtime in the office. Be prepared for tons of fun.
Promising review: “This was so much fun for us. The pool balls are really good quality; they are like large marbles that look like tiny pool balls. Two cues and even chalk come with this so it is fun. Of course it is nothing like a ‘real’ table, but it’s what we can have due to space constraints.”
