1. A multi-functional fire pit to bring all your friends and family outta the house for some s'mores and scary stories. And if a fire is the last thing you want to do in the heat, then you can fill it with ice to keep your drinks cool as a cucumber. Promising review: "I love the functionality of this fire pit so much! To just sit by the fire or to decide we want to do a quick barbecue on it is just so wonderful! I appreciate the cover that comes with it to protect it from the elements.

You can use each pen ~20 times and should expect your teeth to lighten four to eight shades. Promising review: "I've had stained teeth from drinking coffee for over 50 years. I tried brushing after having my daily coffee and even used a professional solution in a tray, but nothing worked.

1. A ~cat-a-pult~ to, well, pelt people with mini cat figures. Yep. Promising review: "I got this as a stocking stuffer for my girlfriend, and it now lives on her desk at the nurses' station to amuse her and her coworkers on slow days or when they need a break from the seriousness of the hospital. Even the non-cat people loved it!" —Alex G. GannGet it from Amazon for $9.85. 2. An extendable silicone straw that I will not apologize for wanting! Nope! I am lazy.
