1. BB-9E App-Enabled Droid with Droid Trainer by Sphero
This droid is part of the First Order. It can be controlled using a smart device and it will go along with the reality-based Droid Trainer.
This droid can interact with the Star Wars app which is made by Sphere. It will also allow you to see parts of the Star Wars films. This is not an average droid. It will go beyond your expectations.
Product Review By Verified Amazon Customer : I’m a nine year old. I think it’s SO cool that it lights up and rolls easy. The app is SO much better and easier than our original app for bb-8. It can go REALLY fast and it can roll on carpet.
The other BB-8 did not light up and this one does! It’s pretty cool. The sound comes from the iPad or phone. On the new app it has this adventure on it where you can see around the ship and find holograms and see how they look. I think that was pretty cool and a lot of fun! ~ Christopher Bradley
2. Boosted 2nd Generation Dual+ Electric Skateboard
This boosted board was designed to help improve the way you get around especially if you live in a big city. You will be able to go around traffic, get to your location quicker than taking public transit, and you will not have to wait for a taxi. This board will make getting to your destination simple. You can get out and see the city.
Product Review By Verified Amazon Customer : I love the thing. It works like a charm. But you will have to tighten you axles so your turn radius doesn’t make a normally smooth 10mph ride to a 10mph death wobble ride. Also be prepared for it to loose total battery life about 2 months into its life cycle. Nothing major but instead of say 10 miles a charge now 6-7. This is on the first setting. But this occurred after about 30 or so total miles on it. Which could happen alot sooner than 2 months for some. Great product.-Kollin Hagerty
3. DJI Osmo Mobile 6 Gimbal Stabilizer
Despite its unconventional appearance, the vertical design of this mouse offers a comfortable and ergonomic experience, promoting a more natural hand position for your body. You’ll find it just as intuitive to use as a traditional mouse, so transitioning to the new shape won’t be a major concern.
Product Review By Verified Amazon Customer : I’ve most recently owned the osmo mobile 3. The only aspect about that gimbal I prefer of this magnet clap was the much simpler mounting method. I have no idea why they went with this magnet clamp route but it’s cumbersome. Other than that, it’s 10x better in every way. The little screen is amazing too! Adam
4. LARQ Bottle PureVis
Elevate your hydration game with the Larq water bottle, featuring state-of-the-art UV-C LED technology. This innovative design not only purifies your water but also sanitizes the bottle’s interior every two hours. Available in a range of vibrant colors, it’s also equipped to keep your beverages refreshingly cold for a full 24 hours.
Product Review By Verified Amazon Customer: Save some money by buying the Larq first. I tried another brand that stopped working within a few months. This is much nicer quality and has worked well and, if the stop starts working, I can get a new one. By Brent A Howard
5. ChefSteps Joule Sous Vide, 1100 Watts
Joule is the smallest, most powerful sous vide tool available. It heats water faster than any other immersion circulator or precision cooker and holds the temperature with absolute accuracy to ensure perfect results every time.

Product Review By Verified Amazon Customer : Incredible little device. I own other models such as Sansaire and Anova One, and in love with this device. Even though you control with an app, it’s incredibly powerful for its size and nothing is better than putting it in the drawer after use. Easy to stow for travel and it looks great. What more do you need? By W. E. Beck

Product Review By Verified Amazon Customer : Absolutely outstanding product. As both a creative lead and tech developer, my personal standards for these types of devices is quite high and this little thing has not only met every expectation and promise, but exceeded them. In a world flooded with mediocre (or outright horrible) iterations of educational scientific / tech / Stem toys, it is incredibly satisfying to land on a product so well designed and constructed in every aspect of its envelope. MAJOR props to the teams behind the Dash. I cannot recommend it enough, both my 5 year old and myself find the device challenging and fun to use; a very difficult thing to accomplish. By Dr.M
7. HP Sprocket Select Photo Printer
Capture cherished memories and treasured photos effortlessly with the HP Sprocket Portable Printer. This compact device effortlessly links to phones or laptops, making it a perfect tool for crafting the ultimate scrapbook or keepsake collection.
Product Review By Verified Amazon Customer : This was a big hit for mother’s day! My 68 year old mom loves printing photos and sending them to her 97 year old aunt, but as they are often traveling she seems them in large batches when home. Now she can print from the RV and send while on their travels! Prints are amazingly detailed and the sticky back is an added bonus for quick scrapbooking. By Kaitlyn McQueen
8. uKeg 64 Pressurized Growler for Craft Beer
We love beer. But many of our favorite microbrews aren’t sold in bottles. The uKeg is the world’s most innovative draft beer growler. It keeps beer fresh, cold and carbonated, and goes wherever you go. Toast to flavor and friends. With a uKeg, your favorite beer will stay brewery fresh to the last pint, whether poured from your refrigerator or from your tailgate.
Product Review By Verified Amazon Customer : I have an early copper plated uKeg 64. I have kept my preferred amber ales fresh for almost a month several times. It works perfectly for all my craft beer needs. I could not ask for a finer product, creative, well crafted, and highly functional. By Terry Huff
9. JoyGeek 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station
Tailored for Apple aficionados, this compact three-in-one wireless charger streamlines the charging process for three essential devices: an iPhone, an Apple Watch, and AirPods. Additionally, it doubles as a convenient stand, perfect for enjoying videos or engaging in FaceTime calls on their phone.
Product Review By Verified Amazon Customer : Purchased 2 chargers and using them bedside to charge 2 phones (iPhone & Galaxy) and Apple Watch overnight. They were easy to set up and work as they should. One night I was awoken by a “beeping”, not sure if it was coming from the charger or the phone, but it I assume is was possibly due to overheating (Galaxy phone was very warm when removed from charger). Beeping stopped once phone was removed from charger. Has not happened again since and I’ve purchased a third charger for my office.. By Amazon Customer
10. NETVUE Birdfy AI
Enhance their birdwatching experience with this sophisticated feeder cam, equipped with advanced features including species detection, color night vision, crystal-clear 1080p resolution, and a connected app that sends notifications when avian guests arrive.
Product Review By Verified Amazon Customer : Got this for my wife for her birthday and she’s super happy with it. Very clear and sensitive, even alerts us when our dogs are walking around outside, which is funny, the only downside is the wifi signal is really weak so we have to put it super close to the house. There was only one spot in our yard with a strong enough signal and I worry the birds will be nervous over the ac unit. By Kai Walser
11. Wearhaus Arc Bluetooth Headphones
The Wearhaus Arc is a carefully crafted blend of form and function. Engineered with dual-diaphragm neodymium drivers and memory foam cushions, the Arc delivers an incredible listening experience while also doing things no other headphone is capable of.
Product Review By Verified Amazon Customer: All in all I would say that even though this is a company new to the audio business that they came out with a decent pair of cans. At home I use a DAC/amp combo but these are great on the go especially if you have something like an iPhone 7. The sound is crisp enough to my liking, and if you don’t like the built in DAC you can always play through the AUX cable and still share. I actually bought two of these and me and my girlfriend can dance to empire of the sun or watch movies without bothering our apartment neighbors now. By Chunweezy
