I bought it thinking that I can give it as a gift, however, now I’m keeping it. It was so easy to set up. I just downloaded the app, turned my Bluetooth on and it connected right away. This is not a bulb to light up your whole room but more like a mood setting. I like that you can change the colours to any solid colour you want or to a multi-colour of rainbows. The speakers are loud and clear and the sounds are perfect. I like that I can dim the light a soft blue and listen to my music as I read my books. You do have to have music on your phone/tablet library to be able to listen to music. I enjoyed it so much that I plan to buy 2 more for myself and 1 or 2 more to have handy as gifts. I purchased this item on discount for my honest and unbiased review. I highly recommend this item.” – AnabananafofanaShop Playbulb Candle here.4. Bluetooth Wireless HeadbandSource: Gameboy (Earphone & Speaker Shop)Ever wanted to listen to music through the night using a headset but you were unable to do so because you woke up in the middle of the night with the earpiece buried somewhere underneath your sheets? This will never be a problem again with these Bluetooth Wireless Headband. Tuck them snugly around your head for a good night’s rest. These headsets can double up as your workout earphones!“My wife got this so she could sleep while listening to her meditations. Since she is a side sleeper, she can’t use the “bud” types. She likes this since it has thin speakers and they are free to move around where she can place them as she needs to. She has not complained about any ear pain, and she sleeps with this every night. Some people have said it hurts their ears, others say it doesn’t. In her case, they don’t. Everyone is different, but she is glad she has this.” – Greg“Love these! I like to listen to music or podcasts when I go to sleep. These headphones are incredibly comfortable… way better than ting to use in ear buds. I also use them when I want to listen to some messages, watch YouTube, etc but want to stay in the same room as my family doing other things. Can listen to my stuff well without totally blocking out family.” – Jane UShop Bluetooth Wireless Headband here.5. JBL Clip 3Source: JBL OfficialAlways wanted to sing in the showers or anywhere but your phone’s speakers aren’t doing justice to that movie soundtrack you’re belting out?

Portable HumidifierSource: baosity.sgTransform your water bottle into a Portable Humidifier with this cool gadget. Your favourite scent is no longer confined to your room or desk, but really, everywhere and anywhere.“Everyone that came by my desk asked me about this item and I wish I had a dollar for every person that asked where I got it. It is a great little humidifier. It goes through a bottle of water about every 4 hours, which if you think about it, is a really good thing because that moisture is going into the air. My eyes feel so much better, my chapped lips have improved and sinuses feel much better.” – Lynn“From the sounds of it, it seems to be a hit out miss, but for me it has worked great!! I use it to raise the humidity in a room with sub-tropical plants and it really puts out a lot of mist!! One key thing I must point out is that the humidifier will last A LOT longer if you use distilled water as hard water build up will hinder/ ruin the oscillator over time! I run it for pretty much the entire day every day without issue! Would definitely recommend!” – WillShop Portable Humidifier here.9. Audio SplitterSource: eeasylifee.sgYou can now bop together to the latest tunes with this Audio Splitter that allows you to share your music with three other friends! Truly #SQUADGOALS.“This headphone splitter is really fun. I went on a cruise with a bunch of friends. While waiting in the airport on our way down to Miami, I pulled this out and the 4 of us were all able to watch a movie and listen to music without disturbing other people.” – Hip Dwayne“Purchased this item to use in my classroom. Reasonably priced, well made and works well. It doesn’t have individual volume control, but that is not a feature I need. The standard jack can be used in laptops, tablets, MP3 players, cell phones, CD players. I believe the quality will hold up to daily use by numerous students. Very happy with this purchase.” – ArtemisShop Audio Splitter here.10. LED Strip LightSource: Warm StationDecorate your place with these LED Strip Light.

FYI – bought it to light up Lego modular buildings.” – resu321“We used one under our 6 year old son’s bed. He was having trouble sleeping at night in the dark, and the overhead light means he stays up late playing with his toys and reading. So we needed light that filled the room but also didn’t light up his bed or provide bright light that would keep him up.” – JonShop LED Strip Light here.11. UGREEN Phone HolderSource: Ugreen Flagship StoreSecure your phone to your car’s CD slot with the Ugreen Phone Holder. Its ultra-strong arms will make sure you’ll never have to fumble for directions on your phone as it drops for the nth time after going over a hump.“This mount is so much better than those big bulky suction cup mounts that stick to the windshield. This one is small and compact, and STRONG! I was pleasantly surprised, especially for the price. I have a pretty slim phone case on my Samsung Galaxy, but the thin piece of metal that allows the magnet to stick to the phone is unnoticeable behind the case. I was worried that with a heavier phone that it would be falling off at every bump in the road, but that’s definitely not the case. This is a must have for anyone who uses their phone for music or GPS. I drive a 2013 Hyundai Elantra and it sits right at the perfect height in my air vent to glance over without being too distracted.” – RentothenyShop UGREEN Phone Holder here.12. Mug WarmerSource: Wonderful HouseEver had the problem where you forgot about the warm cup of coffee you bought in the morning, and by the time you remember, it’s all cold and simply unsatisfactory? Well, you will never have to throw away stale cold coffee with this Mug Warmer.“Why didn’t I buy this a long time ago and save so much coffee that went cold sitting on my desk and had to be reheated in the microwave or tossed out? I don’t think this would heat anything that was cold to start with but it does a fine job of keeping hot coffee hot.” – EvelotsShop Mug Warmer here.
