ORKSUN Automatic Dusk-to-Dawn nightlight

I like having these when my grandchildren spend the night. They are 2 and 4 and night time trips to the bathroom are much easier for them if they can already see. Plus the fact that these use SO little energy, they're not only economical but environmentally friendly as well!

*I received this product heavily discounted and even though I did, that doesn't not persuade me to write a good review, I form my own opinions based on the product itself, and nothing else.

Acrylic Magnetic Push Pins

I absolutely love these little things! When they came I thought for sure there was NO way they were going to be very strong, but I was pleasantly surprised that they hold better than most of the magnets I already had! I like that they are compact and yet very easy to take off. No trying to get your fingernail under the magnet if it's too strong and no having things fall off your fridge because they're too heavy for the magnet. I highly recommend these!

Family Glue 100 Dice Party Pack w/ FREE Dice Bag

Tons of dice! When these came my husband asked if I was starting a casino - but in reality we've lost  many dice to our games and this works out great since it comes in a nice bag to store them in. Instead of them falling out of dilapidated boxes they stay stored nicely. Now if I could find a way to store board games better!

huhu Real Hand-free-washing Microfiber Floor Mop, 2-pack

I really like these mops and the fact that it is a two pack. Although one is supposed to be for wet and one for dry I honestly couldn't tell the different between the two. Regardless, they work well and I love that I don't have to use my hands or make a huge mess to wring out the pad, not to mention you can throw them in washing machine. I have laminate floors and half my house so using these for a quick drive by on the dust and dirt and awesome.
The swivel action makes it easy to get into hard to reach places and what seems to be spring loaded action makes it super easy to begin the wringing process.

Hair catcher for you drain

I think this is a decent hair stopper. Especially if you're looking for something cute, which this is. If fits in both my sink and tub perfectly both ways. The only thing I would say is that the holes need to be a bit bigger because it does slow the drain process. However I was without a hair catcher at all until this so I will take the slow drain from the stopper over a slow drain from hair clogging up my pipes.

20 ft fairy lights

I really like these lights, I use them in a mason jar for mood lighting and it works really well. When summer comes I can't wait to use them outside.
The copper wire strand is 20 feet long so you can stretch them out or coil them up. It has a time and a remote, which I haven't figured out yet because I keep forgetting what I had it on last. But its simple to use and very pretty, you won't be disappointed.

Window Bird Feeder

This thing is actually pretty darn cool. The back of my house has lots of windows and that's where the birds tend to be, so I was a little leary about hanging this because it would be on the second story and it's made of clear plastic. So I hung it inside my house on the windows for about 3 days with a heavy gallon ziploc bag full of pita break to make sure it could take the weight without falling. It stayed all 3 days! I've had it outside for about a week now and the birds have really enjoyed using it. I'll probably take it down about once a week to resuction the cups just to make sure it stays. But so far this has been an awesome addition to my home!

Car Window Shade

Shades = good. Suction cups = bad.
First, it's nearly impossible to get the edge of the shade into the small slot on the suction cups.
Second, they fall off very easily once you get them in.
Third, the suction cups are very cheap. They were wrapped up in side the shades and most of them are bent and don't want to stick to the window.

If you have another way to hang these, the shades themselves are great, but the suctions cups they come with are useless. A better design would be small loops on the shades to attach to better quality suctions cups.

Seal'In Nestable Food Storage Vacuum Containers

My first vacuum storage containers and I'm impressed.  I thought for sure these would along the quality of ziploc containers but they aren't, they are much, much better. They also didn't come with a strong plasticy odour. I think the price is right especially if you compare it to other brands like OXO, which are much more expensive. Since they are vacuum sealed I can store dry foods on my counter without much worry about mold, which for some reason, in this house is a big problem.

Flameless LED Candles

I noticed other reviewers had some issues with their candles, so far these works just fine, they haven't blown through the batteries, and they flicker like they are supposed to. I like them, the flames look real, which I didn't expect. I have other candles similar but they don't have the flicker effect that these have.
I like that they have timers because I have a tendency to forget to turn these off when I leave the house. The remote, personally, I think is kind of silly but hey, maybe other people like it.
In regards to the battery issue, I think this is where rechargeable batteries would be best if you're finding that these suck a lot of juice.

Roybens Infrared Motion Detection \Light

So far so good, we have this in a hallway going to the basement. It is a cold white which I'm not crazy about but I'm not really that picky either. It stays on for about 30 seconds with no motion and goes off. Comes back on when I walk by the sensor again. At this point I have zero complaints about its functionality but I will update my review if that every changes.

Automatic Pencil Sharpener

This thing is pretty awesome. Stick your pencil in a bit, it pulls it to the sharpener, sharpens it, then spits it back out. Pretty genius! We've been looking for a new sharpener for a while because all the ones we have are no good, so far this has done the job perfectly!
