Top 5 Gifts Under $25
1) Melonello Melon and Watermelon Slicer Duo
With a pair of these melon slicers in your kitchen arsenal, you’re prepared to slice and serve jumbo watermelons and pint-sized cantaloupes with ease. Both tools slice, lift, and serve in one easy motion. All you’re left with are empty rinds, less mess (we’re looking at you, watermelons), and perfectly cut pieces of melon.
2) Pack of Dogs Playing Cards
These playing cards are infused with charm and humor courtesy of original illustrations depicting adorable dogs. A story unfolds through each ace through 10 suit telling an engaging, pup-centric story, while the face cards star dogs dressed up as a pirate, a prima ballerina, and other colorful characters.
3) Magnetic Shoe Closures - Youth/Adult
You’ll never need to tie your shoes again with Zubits, the magnetic shoe closure. Simply lace the magnets into your shoelaces and you’re ready to go. Super strong magnets hold fast during strenuous activity, but are easy to open. Slip on, click in place, and get out the door. Your shoes will look great (no floppy bows) and you can even hang them up easily.
4) Stingray Kitchen Multitool
Flip, grab, and pierce whatever is in that skillet with just one tool, and one hand. This multi-functional cooking tool lets you work easier, create less mess, and own fewer utensils, too.
5) Set of 3 Sizes
Use the warmth of your hands to mold the Bee's Wrap around bread, cheese, vegetables, or cover a bowl. The antibacterial properties of the beeswax and jojoba oil help to keep food fresh.
