This is not the flimsy kit you get in a cardboard box at the grocery store! Reviewers say that everything is sharp and sturdy. You get cutting knives, a scooper, spike tools, brushes, sculpting tools, and more.
Promising review: "We used kitchen knives last year, and it was a nightmare. This set has a ton of pumpkin carving tools. The quality is very good, they seem strong and sturdy, with great grips for holding. I definitely recommend this kit." —DesignStudio

Promising review: "Inflatable costumes are where it's at! This thing is so funny! It fits great, and the material feels very durable! I'm 5' 10" about 180 pounds, and I imagine it would fit someone considerably smaller, or bigger than me. I'm probably right at the perfect size this thing was made for." —Dallin

Why yes, I did get a cartilage piercing and yes, it did get infected. :(
Promising review: "Such a great earring, many people don't even realize it's a cuff! It took me a little while to figure out how to put it on correctly (tip: the open ends should face toward your face, and the closed or rounded off end/part of the earring clamps behind the ear — try clamping it around the thinnest part of the ear and then moving it along the ear, squeezing it tighter, or pulling it apart a little, to adjust comfort). I've showered in it, slept in it, blow-dried my hair in it, worked out in it for about a month, and the earring still looks nice and golden, and hasn't budged or tugged or been painful in any way! Again, it does take a little bit of playing around with to get it on properly, but once you've achieved that, it's an incredible piece and a great alternative to another set of piercings!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "These waffles brought smiles and giggles to our breakfast table. Our kids are 10 and 12 and they really enjoyed the animal shapes, particularly the 'dipping' size of the waffles. And so did my husband and I.
The waffle maker is super easy to use, all the faces were clearly imprinted, and I didn't have any issue with cooking time or uneven browning. LOTS of FUN! At $30, why not? Wish we had this years ago!" —jchungmd

I know this is a big investment for a drink you haven't even tried yet but hear me out: This is hands down the best kombucha I've ever had. It's packed with flavor without being overly sweet, and comes in a ton of interesting flavors. It has the same refreshing qualities of having a beer after work (bubbly and super refreshing), making it perfect for people who want to unwind but don't necessarily want something alcoholic. Somehow a can of this tasty 'booch only has 50 calories (???!!!) so I find myself having like one a day. You also just can't beat the adorable illustrations on each can.

Here are my ideas for these dogs: 1. Attach magnets to them and stick 'em on the fridge 2. Spray paint them gold and have fancy, shiny canines. 3. Drill holes through them and make a statement necklace (or some earrings) 4. Line them up around your desk as guard dogs. 5. Leave them in your roommate's shoes as a prank. 6. Make a DIY snow globe using a mason jar or empty snow globe. 7. Keep one in your pocket at all times for moral support.
