Boiled Egg Indicator ($7)

So this little stone kind of thing shaped like an egg is AWESOME. So basically you just stick this in the pot with your eggs and it heats up at the same rate as the eggs and lets you know if they are hard, medium or soft! No more guesswork or timers or weird techniques. Also, because it is heating up with the eggs, it can take into account how much water or how many eggs or altitude. I love boiled eggs. I LOVE boiled eggs. Great stocking stuffer or just a plain necessity! Now if anyone knows of an egg peeler . . . . . let me know!

Water Zinger ($17)




Need a little zest in your required 8 glasses a day of H2O? This nifty gift lets you juice an orange or lemon or lime into the bottle, screw on the lid and then fill it up with water. A great gift for the health junkie in your life. BPA free and dishwasher safe.

Angry Birds Game ($10)

Are you serious? Where has this been all my life? And by life I mean the last 3 years when Angry Birds has been extremely popular. I'll admit I have wasted many hours playing this addicting game, and now there is a real-life version. Comes with cards and missions and all the pieces to set it up and knock 'er down. Perfect for any kid (or kid at heart). Fun for the whole family!! (barf, but seriously, everyone will like it.)

Pot Guard Critters ($7)

CUUUUTTTENESSS! These little wood critter-creatures let the steam escape so your pots don't overflow. I would boil potatoes every day just to see these animals doing their job! Great stocking stuffer / all round awesome gift.

Bartender Multi-tool ($50)

This thing is awesome! It's a swiss army knife for making drinks. Can you imagine how James Bond-ish you'd be if you showed up at a party with one of these bad boys in your pocket?! I'll admit that I don't know what you do with half of those things, but just seeing them makes me want to learn and make myself some fancy drinks. This tool makes Vodka-Cranberry's seem very lame. This nifty gift would impress any of your libation-drinking friends!

Cell Phone Holder ($15)


This thing will hold your cell phone, hang it in your car, kitchen, door, stroller, jeans, treadmill, elliptical, charging outlets ... anything! It's also shaped like a little man, which I enjoy. Apparently it works with most phones but probably best with the iPhone. The arms are flexible. I would like one, maybe you would, too?! (Shout out to my sis, Hannah for pointing this out!)

Neat-O Headphone Cord Organizer ($5)

 

Stocking stuffer alert! This fun little guy is perfect for wrapping up your headphone cords and keeping them untangled. It comes in many colors (I have the purple one). It keeps them organized in my purse, or I can unravel just enough of the cord and hang the clip on my coat zipper when I run. Okay, okay, okay, I don't run. But in theory it would work perfectly!

LIGHT-UP Lip Gloss ($10)

I was given this as a gift, and I'll admit, at first I was afraid. Is this going to make my lips actually light up? Is there surgery involved? But do not fear, fellow lip-gloss-lovers! This lip gloss actually has two small LED lights embedded in the lid,  and when you unscrew it, they turn on. Basically they light up your lips as you put on the lip gloss. AAAAANNND the bottle has a little mirror on the side, so you are fully prepared to glossify your lips without any outside help. So when the club is bumping and the lights are low, you can put your lip gloss on in confidence. (Or in your room with the lights turned off, laughing at your own silliness as I did.)
P.S. The actual lip gloss is pretty legit as well. Not sticky, doesn't dry out your lips, lasts quite a while. Not a lip stain, but looks nice day or night. 5 stars from yours truly.

The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook: From Cauldron Cakes to Knickerbocker Glory--More Than 150 Magical Recipes for Muggles and Wizards ($15)

I really don't feel like this needs an explanation other than the fact that it is about HP, it is about FOOD, and it is AWESOME. It even has 4.5/5 stars with over 150 reviews, so you know it must be amazing. I love Harry Potter. Buy it for a friend, buy it for yourself, buy it for me!! The End.

"Pikachu" T-Shirt ($25)

This made me laugh. Well, at first I was a moron and said "sometimes I Pokemon when you're showering." And I was like "I don gedddit. . . " Then I got it, then I was like LOLZ.
I'm not sure if I was laughing at me not getting it or because it was actually funny . . . maybe both.
