Trend Enterprises Assorted Color Sparkle Stars Stickers

When I used to teach grade school I would use Trend products all the time and loved them. So when I was looking for some star stickers for work and saw the Trend Enterprises Assorted Color Sparkle Stars Stickers I figured that they would be great. I was not disappointed. I was not sure what they would look like but they are very sparkly. They are kind of like a holographic sort of sparkly. They shine a lot and really catch the light. They are very attractive.
They are easy to get off of the sticker sheets. They peel right off.
They also stick well where you put them. We are using them on paper.
I would recommend these if you are looking for stars that are sparkly and eye catching. They are great for reward stickers. I have learned that Trend products are still worth buying many years after the last time I have bought them.

Stainless Steel Wire Whisk Set, 3-Piece Egg Beaters (8", 10", 12")

The Stainless Steel Wire Whisk Set, 3-Piece Egg Beaters (8", 10", 12") is a nice set. I tend to always need more whisks. My whisk is always dirty since I use it a lot. With this set I have three of them so I don't run out.
When I got these I was not sure of if I liked them or not. Then I started using them and found that I really liked them. They work well and are flexible enough to do what I want. I can mix my eggs, pancake batter, sauces and all.
They wash up well. I rinse them off when I am finished and then throw them into the dishwasher. I have not had trouble with that.
The wires have kept their shape even with a thick batter.
There is a little hole that they can hang up in your kitchen if you prefer to store them that way.
This is a nice set. I hope you like them too.

Simple Modern Vacuum Insulated 20oz Cruiser Tumbler with Lid

I really like the Simple Modern Vacuum Insulated 20oz Cruiser Tumbler with Lid. I have a 30 oz one too. These cups really work! I don't know how they work but they do. There are brands that cost a lot more but this one works well. I can't compare them but I find that this cup will keep my drink cold for hours. I usually drink my soda quicker but sometimes I drink it over a few hours when I am at work. It seems to be just as cold when I finish as when I filled it to begin with. If I leave it in the hot car it is still cold when I get back to it.
I got the stainless steel one but next time I would get the color. My 30 oz Simple Modern cup is a pink one and the color has a little bit of texture and it is easier to hold on to. I have ordered a handle to to go on the cup. I have neuropathy from chemo and it is hard to hold onto things sometimes. That is why the color is nice.
The lid fits nice and tightly. It seals really well.
What I don't like about the cup is that the lid does not have something to close it. It is not spill-proof. I usually put a straw through the hole in the top and drink out of it that way. But when I am carrying it out to the car I would like it to be able to close and not spill.
I would definitely recommend this cup. It does what the others do without the huge price tag.

Sketchor 48 Colored Pencils Set

The Sketchor 48 Colored Pencils Set is a nice set. I like to have colored pencils for my grandkids to use around my house but I hate how they are always all over.
I really like the canister that these come in. It fits in my cupboard really nicely. The ones I had from the store in the school supply section were always falling out of the box which would get smashed and they would be all over the floor when I opened the cupboard. With these in the canister they stay put and don't fall out. They fit nicely in the canister too.
The pencils stick up a little after you take off the lid so you can see the colors and pick out the one you want to use. I like this but as I have to sharpen them and they get shorter, they will also be hidden in the canister. I don't have this problem yet but do see it as a potential problem if you sharpen your pencils often.
I also like that the pencils are not round. This way they don't roll away when you are using them on a table. I hate chasing pencils, trying to catch them before they hit the floor.
The pencils have a nice feel to them when writing or coloring. They are smooth writing and don't stick at all. They don't feel like you are writing with a piece of wood but just glide along the paper.
These are nice pencils and I would recommend trying them.

YUEDGE Premium Aluminum Lightweight Tent Stakes/pegs with Reflective Rope

The YUEDGE Premium Aluminum Lightweight Tent Stakes/pegs with Reflective Rope are a little smaller than I expected but that is my fault for not reading well. Even though they are smaller they are much better than the ones that come with any tent I have bought. They always come with a stake that is not that much stronger than a thick wire. I always get other ones to use instead. These will do the trick. They are much stronger. They don't bend when I try to bend them.
I really like that these have a nice carrying pouch. The pouch is also much better than the one that come with my tent. This one is much stronger and the stakes won't quickly go through the bottom.
They have a point on the end that helps them go easily into the ground.
They also have a hole in them to hook any hooks that are on the ends of the stretchy wires.
They also have a reflective rope. I have never seen that before. It is a great idea since most of us seasoned campers have been out at night and tripped over a wire coming from the tent and went falling to the ground. The reflective ropes should help keep this from happening. It will catch the flashlight beam and reflect back so you can see it.
I got the orange ones to make them easier to see in the daytime too.
I would recommend these to someone looking for better stakes for their tent.

Gel Ink Colored Pens set of 72 Medium Point

The Gel Ink Colored Pens set of 72 Medium Point is a huge set. I was amazed when they came how many there actually were. I don't know why when I ordered that I did not realize how many there were but it was a nice surprise.
I had them sent to me at work and I was the hit of the place. My coworkers Love gel pens. They were calling dibs on which ones they would be able to use at work. It was very exciting.
The variety in colors is very fun too. There are really bright neon colors, lighter pastels, cool glittery ones, and I did not even realize that they made metalic ones. I think those are really neat. You could use the gold one if you were doing cards for something and they would look very elegant. The glitter ones are really neat too. There are little specks in the ink that shine or sparkle in the light.
It took a little bit for a few of them to get going but then they worked fine. They compare to all the others that I have used. They write with the same feel.
The white did not show up for me when I colored on a dark blue paper. This is not a big deal for me since I don't plan to use the white anyways. I thought it was worth mentioning though.
If you are looking for a new set of gel pens with lots of variety, this is a great set for you. It would make a great gift too for someone that likes to color.

Mansov 2 in 1 Bright Camping Lantern and Flashlight

I got the Mansov 2 in 1 Bright Camping Lantern and Flashlight to use when I go to events in the evening. I needed something small and lightweight.
This is not a large lantern or flashlight. I thought it would be bigger but am glad it is not. It is only about 5 inches long. This will fit in my fanny pack. Now, I know a fanny pack is not really stilish but it is small and carries what I need. It never fit my flashlight though. Now it does!
There is a hook on each end. I can put a carabiner on my fanny pack and hang the light from it. This way I can still hold my chair and whatever else I might have.
The light does not come with the batteries. I hate when things don't come with batteries but it is not a deal breaker. The descriptions says it doesn't include the batteries so I really can't complain about it. Just be aware that you will need 4 AAA batteries.
The light has three settings. Bright, brighter and flashing. The flashing is nice at evening events when trying to wave someone down. Tell them to look for the flashing light and wave it. The other settings are nice and bright too. I am still amazed at how much light a little flashlight gives out nowadays. It didn't used to be that way. It is nice to have something so lightweight and so small but still give out so much light. This one does not disappoint.
If you are looking for a bright, small and lightweight flashlight/lantern this is a nice one.

ZenZoi Colored Pencils Set 48 Colors Pack

The ZenZoi Colored Pencils Set 48 Colors Pack is a nice set.
For starters they are not round so they do not roll off of the table. This is the first set I have like that. It is very helpful when you are in a chair with them on your lap.
I like how the ends show the color of the pencil. It really has nothing to do with how they work but I think it is nice. It is like they are dipped in a nice paint.
They color fairly smoothly. The color seemed a bit light though. I have to go over it a bit and press hard for the color to be dark.
When they came the canister was apart. I got it back together but I am glad I did not send it as a gift. Also, if you are at all OCD you might not like the canister. The colors do not line up when the lid is on. It is like the lid is upside down. It does not matter to me but when I had them at work, one of my coworkers was really bothered by it.
Also, if you are someone who has to sharpen your pencils often, as you sharpen the pencils and they get shorter, you will have trouble getting them out of the canister.
I would recommend these if you are looking for a set of pencils in the medium range. They are better than the ones in the back to school section but not so expensive as some of the really high end ones.

Crafty Croc Liquid Chalk Markers, 10 Pack Earth Colored Ink Pens

The Crafty Croc Liquid Chalk Markers, 10 Pack Earth Colored Ink Pens did not disappoint. My boss loves chalk markers and we needed more for work. I thought this set of earth colored ones would be a good thing to get. We make signs at work to welcome people and the chalk markers on a blackboard are great. I love how easily these erase.
They look great on the black board. The colors are nice and dark and I don't have to go over them again and again to get the right color.
The tips reverse so you can fill in areas with ease. It will get on your fingers though when you switch the tip so use a tissue or something to keep it off you your skin. It washes off nicely too so not a big deal if you get it on yourself.
The chisel tip does a nice job of writing and you can also get a rather small area.
I would recommend these along with the standard colors.

Tempered Glass Screen Protector Film for Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge in Gold

The Tempered Glass Screen Protector Film for Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge in Gold is so far working well for me. The funny thing is that I did not mean to order gold but did not pay attention. When I got my edge phone they did not have the gold one and I always wanted it in gold. Now with the gold protector and a case on it you would think I had the gold one. I guess it was a good mistake.
The first thing I noticed was that I had a hard time getting the box open. It may have been just me but I did get it. It is not a big deal but thought I would mention it.
Then I noticed there were no instructions. I have not had a tempered glass one for my edge before so I hope I did it correctly. You might want to google it if you are not sure.
When it is on the spots for the buttons at the bottom do not line up quite right. It still works well but since I have the gold protector the lights don't totally show either. The holes at the top and very slightly off too but not enough to bother anything.
When we put it on I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was. First I cleaned m screen with the wet cloth and then the dry. I used the stickers to hold it and get it in place. I pressed it down and took the stickers off.
I will say that is seems to show fingerprints more than my old one but that might be because it is so new. Time will tell.
All of the buttons work well and the touch screen still works like always.
So far it is working well for me. I did not know that they had glass protectors for the edge but I am glad they do.

Vinomaster Wine Bottle Lever Screwpull Opener Gift Set

The Vinomaster Wine Bottle Lever Screwpull Opener Gift Set impressed me when I opened it. It seems to be very heavy duty. I expected it to be much lighter. My daughter has one that is similar and she loves hers so I thought I would try one too.
Other than it being so heavy right from the start I was impressed with the nice box it came in. This would make it very easy to give as a gift. I can imagine giving it as a wedding or housewarming gift with a bottle of wine. They would love it.
When I used it I found that it didn't work quite as smoothly as I wanted but I still liked it. I had to hold on to the bottle a bit to get it to go into the cork. I think it was more just me trying to get the hang of it and learning how this kind works.
Also, when I pulled the cork out it did not come all the way out. I had to pull it out the rest of the way with the opener. I am not sure if this will make the opener weak at some point. There is an extra screw part that comes with it so if that part breaks I can still use it.
The foil cutter works well too.
I would recommend trying this wine opener. I like it and it would make a great gift.

Mobility® Hard Case Cover For MacBook Rainbow

I got the Mobility® Hard Case Cover For MacBook for my daughter's new computer. I wanted her to have a case on it for a little protection. She liked the looks of the rainbow one so that is what we ordered. When it came I thought that it looked way different from the picture but once it was on her silver computer it looked like the picture. She likes it a lot and I do too. It looks nice and sets it apart from the others a bit.
The case went on easily. It comes in two pieces and they snap on without trouble. Once they were on they fit well and were not loose or so tight that they did not fit.
The case feels rubbery. I like this since it makes it not as slippery. Whenever I was carrying her computer I felt like it might slip from my hands. Once the case was on I do not feel like this anymore.
All of the ports are still easy to get at and the cords fit well with the case on.
There are vents on the bottom of the case so that the computer vents can still work to keep the machine cool.
All in all, this is a nice case for the macbook. It should help to protect it even though I have not dropped it yet and hope not to do that test on it. I am hoping to have the computer for a really long time.
I would recommend this if you need a case to protect and help to identify your computer from someone else's.
