A Charmander bag, a rainbow fidget spinner, confetti earrings, a mini waffle maker, and other things that would make awesome birthday presents!
Promising review: "Definitely one of the best purchases I have made on Amazon so far. The mini part is no joke, the whole thing is small enough to lift in one hand. If you are feeding breakfast to a whole family of five or more, then this may not be for you. However, because of its size, it works quicker than a normal sized one so even though you can only make one small waffle at a time, each waffle should be done in about a minute or two. The interior is also non-stick, so it is really easy to clean, which was a huge bonus for me." —Cristal M.

Promising review: "These pens are amazing. They will show through the paper a little but they go on so smooth and are absolutely worth it. They are super cute, and the faces haven’t even chipped despite them being in my pencil bag and constantly roughed up. The ink is wonderful to write with." —O.atmeal

This styling wand heats up to 400°F in just 30 seconds. There's no clamp so your curls will come out kink-free. The barrel tapers from 1-inch to 1/2-inch for tighter to looser curls. There are five heat settings and an automatic shut-off function.
Promising review: "I typically don't like to apply heat to my hair and opt for heatless pin curls but when I do curl with a wand, this is the most underrated product out there. I have had the same wand for at least five years, and it still works great. Quick curls even for thick hair like mine but with heat control to make sure you're not burning your hair. Heats up quickly and cools down quickly." —kiana

Promising review: "The reviews are true: this stuff is amazing! A slick on my lips before bed, and I awake with pillowy soft, plump, kissable lips that lasts until the evening. I was amazed at how well it worked even after the first application. It doesn't have a strong flavor or scent; I was concerned it would be too gingery but it's not at all." —Morgan R

Promising review: "I saw these on Shark Tank and forgot about them until I was ready to go to a concert and realized I couldn't handle another concert with foam plugs that muffle all the sound so badly. I have tinnitus/ear ringing and VERY sensitive hearing but I still love to watch live music, so I have to do SOMETHING. I have REALLY small ears and usually need children's versions of anything for ears, so I was worried these wouldn't fit. Guess what? They did!
These are awesome, and I am so happy I bought them. I could hear the sound well (don't be thinking you can wear ear protection and not lose ANY sound quality, it's just gonna happen...), could carry on a conversation with them in, and was so happy overall. Best ear protection experience I've ever had! They weren't uncomfortable or falling out. They just stayed in, discretely, and were easy to wear through the whole show. I am a fan. A big, big fan." —KP

Promising review: "Absolutely love this cold brew maker! I've only made coffee with it once so far but the coffee was smooth, full of flavor, and we got three to four servings in one carafe. I love that you can customize how much coffee you use based on taste, but I do think the suggested amount for a full container is spot on! It's easy to use, easy to clean, makes great cold brew coffee, I couldn't be happier with this product!" —Katelyn Hargrave

Promising review: "As a professional tour guide, my water bottle is very important to me. When shopping for a new bottle, there are three important factors that each one I consider needs to have: 1. They need to be double walled. When out on tour for an hour or more, the last thing I want is condensation building up on my hands. 2. They need the ability to keep my water cold. Lukewarm water after an hour of talking is no good! 3. They need an easy twist off lid. When on tour, I don't have the time to be fiddling with my lid while talking. The lid of this bottle can easily be taken off under five seconds without spillage. The mouth holes of Hyrdro Flasks are more accommodating for various ice sizes, and the handle provides an alternate carrying option and the ability to attach it to a backpack or belt. All in all a wonderful purchase that I would gladly make again!" —Alex Keller
