If you or your partner get to work from home for a couple days a week, you can use this tray table to do it in front of the television — because who doesn’t like a little background noise? Imagine getting to work on that spreadsheet for work…while wearing your pyjamas, with Shark Tank re-runs playing. Chef’s kiss.
This Jewelry Box That Also Plays Music
Not sure what to get your niece? This musical jewelry box is a pretty safe pick. Not only does it give her tons of space for necklaces, earrings, and more, but the unicorn also spins along to the song that plays when you open the box.

Ever notice how most knit gloves don’t really keep your hands warm? That isn’t the case with this pair. They’ve got thermal insulation on the inside so that your hands stay toasty — and the elastic ribbed cuffs help keep snow from sneaking inside.
The Umbrella That Won’t Invert In Gusty Weather
Who doesn’t want a hot pink umbrella? The color isn’t even the best part — since the canopy allows wind to escape, it won’t turn inside-out in strong winds. It’s also large enough to cover two people (as long as one doesn’t hog the handle). Choose from 15 other colors in addition to hot pink.
The Organizer For All Your Wrapping Paper Tubes

The Beach Towel That’s Seriously Big
I’m well aware that it isn’t summertime, however that didn’t stop me from buying this oversized beach towel. Why? For one thing, it’s made from soft microfiber that dries me off quickly post-shower. And for two, the stripes are cute — and you even have the choice of three colors.
This Peppermint Oil That Smells So Good

I’m able to work at my desk longer and I feel better throughout the work day.”

This Cover That Keeps Your Car Safe From Pet Hair
I have this cover in the back of my car for whenever my pup needs to go for a ride — and if his face is any indication, he likes laying on it way more than the bare back seat.
