Champagne Flutes

The champagne flutes are very elegant. The stems are long and the glass lightweight. I can't wait to use them. The downside is that the packaging was not very nice, just a brown box. This is good to know, just in case you were planning to give these as a gift.

Red Wine Glasses

I love wine, especially when consumed out of nice glasses. These wine glasses are gorgeous. They are lightweight, and have nice long stems. These would be great to give as a gift, although, there are only two in the box, so I'd probably buy two sets.

Hammock TripWorthy

As someone who loves spending time relaxing on the outdoors, having a hammock is a must. This hammock definitely beats my old one with durability and quality. Although it is lightweight parachute material, it is very high quality. the bag is a very nice bonus as most hammocks don't have this. The tree straps are nice as it will allow the rope to last longer and save on it's wear and tear. Overall, I really enjoy this hammock and definitely recommend it to all my friends.

Art Easel

I do drawings from time and often while traveling. This portable stand is very convenient to move around and easy enough to carry. It also works great for holding posters and boards while doing presentations. I really like this portable easel since it is made of pretty solid aluminum. It also includes a pretty nice pouch to store and transport it in when folded. It is very easy to setup. I think the portable easel is a very nice investment and definitely recommend it.

AYL Cooking Gloves

These gloves do a pretty good job at keeping my hands cool during normal cooking and baking. They are pretty comfortable and other gloves I have tried, these have a cotton liner on the inside so they don't really smell and they don't get sticky. I find them rather bulky for what they are, but again, the heat has to go somewhere. I think these gloves are neat, I just wish the color variety was a bit more than just green.

AYL Flashlight

I really like all the options on the flashlight. It really allows for the best in versatility. It is actually pretty bright for it's size and is something that I will be keeping in my car in case I ever get stuck at night.

Oak Leaf Lights


I enjoying doing art projects from time to time that are a bit unusual and I had a need for these lights. These lights are actually kind of bright for their very compact size. The cable is a more rigid cable so you can shape it to your needs and it will hold it. It is all operated off of 3xAA batteries in one small box which makes it very adaptable as it doesn't require a power outlet. I kind of like it, but I feel that the size of the battery can definitely be reduced in size. I definitely see the potential in this and plan on buying more for future projects.

3.5mm Cable Extender

I guess you could call me a music junkie. I listen to music a ton on my computer but I every time I move, I get frustrated with how limited my setup options are because my current speakers have a short cable length. This 3.5mm extender is perfect! It has lossless audio, no delay and great quality still coming out the other end. The cable is rather durable and I wouldn't say that the nylon adds to this. The nylon is more for aesthetic purposes more than anything else. I plan on buying another one for my car so I can have my passengers play music from the back seat. All in all, I love this cable!

Compression Gloves

I have been getting hand cramps so I figured some compression comfort gloves might help. They feel a bit nice once on the hand, but they are a real pain in the butt to try to take off. I am a bit disappointed because there were loose threads before I even put them on for the first time. I really am not sure how long these gloves are going to last.

Marker Set

This is a very nice marker set. The markers are high quality and the colors are rather vibrant. They write so smoothly unlike some markers that I have used in the past. The thin tip and thick tip really do come in handy when making posters. The carrying case or pouch adds that little touch that makes this an instant must-have item! I recommend this set fo double-tipped markers.

VGA to HDMI Converter

I have a bit of a modernized computer setup, so I was a bit disappointed when I upgraded my computer and it only had a VGA port and no HDMI port. This converter works very well with no noticeable lag and no loss in audio or video quality. My only wish is that it didn't require a USB port in addition to a VGA port and audio port. It just seems like too much when other devices only require HDMI and audio.. I really like they converter and it works great until I can upgrade the rest of my setup.

Mossberg Knife

This pocket/hunting knife is extremely sharp and I have been able to cut through things with easy. I like how part of it is serrated so when you are struggling to slice through, you can use the serrated portion. I like how it has a really comfortable grip that isn't metal or plastic, but instead feels like wood. The camo on it looks pretty neat and gives it a nice touch. The carrying pouch is nice and I like how it has a loop on the back so you can put it on your belt, making it that much easier to carry. It has a very solid construction, so I expect it to last a very long time.
All in all, I really like this ‪#‎Mossberg‬ knife and definitely recommend it.

Quadcopter

This quadcopter is really neat, light and sharp looking. i like how it has blade protectors to protect the blades. It also includes 4 replacement blades so as you learn or crash it, you have some replacements. You should be able to get the hang of flying it within a few days of practice. I like how it includes two batteries so you can get twice the life that you would otherwise get. Each battery lasts about 6-10 minutes which is pretty good for a quadcopter. I like how if the battery is low, it won't take off.
The camera is a nice touch, and while low quality, you can get some nice angles. The remote also has an interchangeable mode where you can control the quadcopter relative to you as opposed to relative to the quadcopter. The remote also has "callback" function where the quadcopter where return to the person holding the remote.
The only reason this quadcopter would get 4 stars instead of 5 stars is because the remote has "fake" buttons that are printed on but don't do anything and are hard. I feel like this is the cheesiest idea to make it seem like a high quality product, but instead it just makes it feel fake and cheap.

Aquarium Depot Shirt

I have had a lot of shirts over the years from various manufacturers.  This one is one of the best quality shirts I have had in years.  The logo on it is actually pretty sick and I have worn it once and received several compliments on it.

Cool HDMI to VGA Converter

I have used various HDMI to VGA converters at work over the years. This one is by far the most compact and the best looking one I have used over the years. The audio cable is long enough to connect my device, which is something some of these converters lack. This converter has no noticeable lag or loss of audio quality. I am also able to plug my speakers into the cable and it works just as well. I love this converter and I will be keeping it for my computer while I wait for more for the other systems at work.

I have a bit of an antiquated computer setup, so I was a bit disappointed when I upgraded my computer and it only had an HDMI port and no VGA port. This converter works very well with no noticeable lag and no loss in audio or video quality. My only wish is that the 3.5mm audio cable was a bit longer and on the side as it would make it more adaptable. I really like they converter and it works great until I can upgrade the rest of my setup and display.

Water Bottle

This water bottle is made of a rather hard plastic so it can handle normal wear and tear. I like the ingenius design of the water sprout and how it tucks away into the handle to make it one less protrusion. The water bottle is very easy to clean.

Bike Lock w/ Combo

I have a cheap mountain bike that I use as a primary form of transportation in college. I used to use a U-Lock but those are a pain as they aren't very adaptable for locking up your bike. I love the cable locks, but unfortunately, with all the severe weather we get, the locks usually don't last more than a year.
It has an ok length to it. It is really easy to change the number code to your liking, just don't forget what it is. As far as the lock holder goes, you would have to completely remove the seat to put it on since it isn't like a clamp. I don't use a clamp because with the cable locks, I just wrap it around the upper frame-bar on my bike so it is out of the way when I commute. One less component to worry about falling off.

Stainless Steel Salt and Pepper Grinder

I totally love these salt and pepper grinders. They are glass, not plastic. They have a good weight feel, and are well balanced. The grinding mechanism is very smooth. What i like most about them, however, is their short stature - as compared to other salt and pepper grinders that I have seen. The taller ones tend to be knocked over very easily, and are kind of tall to be used regularly at the table. These are much shorter and are much more stable. Plus, you can see over them when they are on the table. Definitely a nice table set.

WaterColor Pencils

I do a lot of mix media and I like to experiment with different things. I haven't used watercolor pencils before but I have heard of them and I like the idea. I got this kit and decided to give it a go. I had a difficult time the first time because I didn't realize how thick you had to put the pencil lead on. I tried it again with my newly found knowledge and actually got a pretty nice result. I like the set and foresee getting quite a bit of use out of it. I definitely encourage you to try it out.
