SharpTank Pocket Sharpener Twin Pack

These sharpeners are small, but durable. Made of aluminum, they’re sure to last. I use the blue one for sharpening color pencils, and I keep the silver one in my make-up bag for my eyeliner pencil.

The blades are sharp, and the set of two sharpeners comes in a handy plastic case that stays securely closed. I keep the silver one in the case so finding it in my make-up bag is easy (without accidentally cutting my finger.) Though I was given a discounted price to test this set, I was not influenced or required to give a positive review. I’m pleased with this purchase.

Tissue Paper Tassel DIY Party Garland

These Tissue Paper Party Tassels are so cute! I love the stylish colors (light blue, navy blue, white, and silver.) They look festive, yet elegant.

Assembly is easy, and the tassels don’t rip off or come apart easily. The set comes with Twenty 14-inch tassels (a mix of metallic shiny and matte), and the rope strand extends nicely across a doorway. Though I was given a discounted price to test this, I was not influenced or required to give a positive review. I’m pleased with this purchase, and glad I didn’t choose a cheaply made decoration at the dollar store.

* Light assembly required.

Orblue Kitchen Scissors, Poultry Shears (Red)

My Orblue Kitchen Scissors (Red) serve so many purposes in my kitchen, from opening packages to opening bottles or cutting through poultry. They’re heavy-duty, tough shears, with sharp blades and a comfortable silicone handle.

They come apart (easily) for thorough cleaning, either by hand or by popping them into the dishwasher. Though I was given a discounted price to test these kitchen shears, I was not influenced or required to give a positive review. It is well-made, durable, and handy product.

24 Bags, Water Beads, Crystal Gel Water Pearls,

Crystal Gel Water Beads are new to me. I’d never seen or heard of them prior to receiving this set. There are 24 packets, in 6 different colors, and they take several hours to fully expand.

These unique growing beads would be a fun activity for children, (they are non-toxic) but I am using them as decorative accents to my household plants and cut flowers. Their interesting shape and color make the pot or vase more interesting and colorful. They’ll add a nice decorative effect to my holiday tabletop decorations as well.

 

I placed one complete packet in a glass and added 2 cups of tap water. It

took a few minutes for the gel beads to begin growing, and after half and hour, the beads were larger than pea size. (see photos.)

 

A neat perk is that when the beads lose their plumpness you can just add more water to return them to their full size—for up to two years. Though I was given a discounted price to test these water beads, I was not influenced or required to give a positive review.

*Non-toxic

*Biodegradable

*Reusable up to 2-years

Flora and Fauna Stress Relief Coloring Book

I have always enjoyed coloring. When my children were little, I’d let them each pick out a coloring book to purchase, and I’d pick one out for myself. It’s a relaxing and enjoyable pastime, and I’m not embarrassed to say that even though I’m now an empty nester, I have a stack of coloring books and several boxes of treasured gel pens, crayons, and coloring pencils.

How nice to not have to color childlike princesses, animals, or Disney characters! I’ve recently discovered there are coloring books for adults!

Flora and Fauna Stress Relief Coloring Book

The Flora and Fauna coloring book is filled with detailed drawings. The designs (within the animals or nature) are so intricate that adults will find them satisfying.

This stress relief coloring book, as it’s labeled on the front cover, is entertaining, enjoyable, and creative. It’s fun to make the pages come alive with color. The page backgrounds are pure white, making the colors I add, pop.

Craftsmanship: The softbound book has quality stock pages with pure white backgrounds that make the colors I add pop. I also like that the illustrations are only printed on one side, which assures colors will bleed or show through to the backside of the page.

Suggestions: Using crayons might be a little taxing, since it might be difficult to color within some of the small lines, so I suggest using coloring pencils or gel pens.

The book is 8.5” x 11”, with 30 pages to color.

Though I was given a discounted test price, I was not influenced or required to give a positive review. The hand drawn images are lovely. 

Halloween Activity Pads

 

These Halloween Activity Pads are perfect treats for trick-or-treaters, or handouts for your child’s classmates. Note: there are six different covers (2 of each) but they each contain identical pages.

There are 48 activities in each of the 12 booklets, including coloring pages, word searches, mazes, word scrambles, and more. (Pages are printed on both sides.)

These are cute booklets with fun activities, and would be great to take on long road trips to keep the little ones entertained. Though I was given a discounted price to test this product, my review is honest and unbiased.
