3) Bluetooth Animal Speaker - Reindeer
This kids’ Bluetooth speaker looks like a tiny, adorable animal, but don’t let the sweet little face fool you into thinking it can’t crank out the tunes. The speaker creates great sound in a design about the size of a golf ball. It is packed with features like a wireless selfie remote shutter, built-in mic for phone calls, and optional pairing that lets two speakers create a stereo-sound experience. (And that doubles down on the cuteness.) USB rechargeable for up to six hours of playing time. Pop one onto a backpack for a party to go.
4) Family Tree Necklace + 2 Birthstones
Thoughtful and personal, the family tree necklace is the perfect gift for any woman in your life—or for you. Beautifully handmade in Maryland, each necklace can be customized to reflect important children’s or grandchildren’s birthdates or other important dates or milestones with bezel-set Swarovski crystal charms.
5) Coordination Game - Travel
This travel-sized balance toy was created as a rehabilitative tool to help hone fine motor skills—and it does it in the most fun and challenging way. The objective? Neatly stack the disks. That might sound simple, but it takes concentration and coordination to get the unpredictable, rotating magnetic bamboo discs to line up just right.
