BS® Brown Handmade Beaded Feather Dream Catcher
This is a very nice dream catcher. In my bedroom we have one wall that is decorated with Native American items. This dream catcher fits in perfectly not only with the motif but also the color scheme. The room is done in shades of brown, blacks, grays, and burgundy. This is a 2 tiered dream catcher. There is a larger circle of about 4 1/3 inches and a smaller one of about 2 inches handing below. The dream catcher is decorated with hanging feathers and bead work. I love that it is handmade. The knots in the center are perfect and it looks really great in my bedroom.

LETO A19 6W LED Dimmable Filament Edison Style Light Bulb
I have been hearing a lot about the Edison Style light bulbs recently and when I was given the chance to try one out I jumped at it. I love the look of this bulb and it puts off a really great amount of light. I put mine in the light above my kitchen table since we spend a good amount of time setting there, not only eating but playing cards, chit chatting and other reasons as well. I was surprised at how much light this 6 watt bulb put out. It is not harsh lighting either like some light bulbs. My kitchen light is on a lot, most of the day and evening. The specs say it will last 27000 hours at 3 hours per day. Not sure how long it is going to last in my house since it is on a lot more then 3 hours. I will have to wait to decide on buying more with how long it lasts. At almost $12 per bulb I need to really know to justify to myself if these are worth buying more or. But that remains to be seen. They really are nice bulbs, they do not get hot like regular light bulbs, they use less energy also. So far the light has been in use about a week now and I have had no problems with it..

InnoGear® Battery Powered Motion Sensor Light
This light is awesome. I have a very long dark hallway from my living room to the bedrooms in my house, and my bedroom is 2 steps down at the very end, There are no windows and the light switch for some reason is at the other end of the hallway. We put this light in the hallway in front of my bedroom area. That way if one of us get up in the night the light will detect our movement and come up helping us to get up or down the steps safely. The light is brighter then any of the standard night lights I have used before, and since there is no electrical outlets in that area that makes this light even better.
The light runs on 3 AAA batteries which are not included. The light head is adjustable it will do a full 360 degree circle so you can get the light pointed perfectly. We have it pointed kind of downward so when it flips on it does not blind us, which is important since we are using it on a staired area. The light does have 2 modes a steady on and the motion sensor. With it being battery run IT is great during a power failure as well. This light could be used pretty much anywhere. It comes with a sticky mount, a screw in mount or could be just set on any flat surface.

Colore Watercolor Paint Set
This set of watercolor paints are not like any I have used before. These are nothing like the little sets you buy at the store for the kids, The colors are very bright and vibrant unlike the watered down ones I have used before. These can be watered down to make the colors lighter though. I am by no means an artist but I do use a lot of painting in my crafts, and so far these have worked very well for me and my crafts.
There are 24 paint tubes in the set. Each tube holds 12 ml of paint. Each of the colors are different. The paints can be mixed to make new and different colors as well. Clean up is a breeze with these paints as they are water based. These do work well on any type of medium but work best on mediums meant for watercolors. Great set for the beginner to the professional.

Mosquito Repellent Patch Infused With All Natural Lemon Eucalyptus and Essential Oils
I live in Florida and in the middle of a National Forest to boot. All year long we battle mosquito's. We spend tons of money on bug lights, yard sprays, citronella candles, and personal repellents. Although I have not found the perfect 100% repellent yet, while using these bug patches I have noticed that I can walk outside and not be swarmed.
These are so easy to use. Just scratch the surface on the patch, peel it off the cardboard backing and stick it on your clothing or skin. The smell is not awful, it does not leave your skin oily and sticky, and is so much nicer then using a spray. Works great even with the smaller kids. I usually stick on patch to the center of the back of their shirts and let them go.I chose the center of the back of the shirt since they cannot reach that area and I don't have to worry about them getting it off and playing with it or putting it in their mouths. The glue on the back of the patches is quite sticky and does hold well on clothing and skin as well. For adults it usually takes 2 I put one on my shoulder area and one down towards my ankle. These work for about 8 hours once they have been activated by scratching the front surface of the patch. I will be buying more.

Clongi Compact Folding Umbrella
I live in Florida and although it is called the Sunshine State, people who live here will tell you different. We have a 3 month rainy season ans it rains pretty much every day. Maybe for only 5 minutes and maybe in the front yard and not the back but it rains never the less. We carry umbrella's with us in all of our vehicles. You never know when you are going to need one. My last umbrella sadly was starting to fall apart. I think it is from the heat of the car. So when I ran across this one I decided to give it a try.
The umbrella comes with a storage pouch , which my last one did not have. The one folds down to a compact size that fits great under the seat of my car, it is about 12 inches long when folded down. When open it is about 21 inches. I love how easy it is to open. There is a button on the handle, just push it and it pops open. There is a small strap around the umbrella to keep it all together, make sure to pull the strap loose before hitting the button. The strap velcro's around the umbrella. The umbrella is not a huge one when open, I call it standard sized, 2 people could fit under it with only maybe 1 shoulder getting wet. Which is still better then being soaked all over.
