Top 5 Gifts Under $75
1) Rechargeable LED Poi Balls
Not only is this outdoor kid’s toy a spectacle of light, it’s also a great exercise of your coordination and dexterity. The Poi dance traces all the way back to the Maori people in New Zealand. It involves swinging soft LED weights rhythmically to create geometric patterns. This version is lighter and brighter, which is great for beginners of all ages. Start with simple movements and as you try to master more complicated ones, you’ll build flexibility and creativity.
2) Powerful Key Ring Magnet 3-Pack
This Made in the USA magnetic keychain ring has strong powers of attraction. It can carry up to four pounds, organize nuts and bolts, track paper clips, find studs, or hang your keys. Whether you’re using it to hide spare keys or give your tool belt a magnetic pocket, it’s a small addition that is endlessly helpful.
3) Foldable Laptop Stand - X-Large (6'2" and Up)
Stand up and work just about anywhere. This foldable laptop stand sets up in seconds thanks to an origami-inspired design that folds flat when you’re done—perfect for carrying in a bag or stowing on a shelf. It’s lightweight, sturdy, and can support 20 times its weight. Water- and stain-resistant fabric boosts its durability and there are different sizes to suit different heights.
4) Suitables Role Play Bibs
Playful but practical dress up bibs keep both parents and toddlers happy. The all-over, photorealistic prints are highly detailed, engaging little ones and encouraging them to dream big, like saving the day from imaginary emergencies. The design is a full coverage art smock, mealtime bib (with a flip-up pocket to catch spills), and fun dress up costume all in one comfy, toddler-sized design.
5) Zodiac Constellation Necklace
A constellation necklace is a sophisticated and subtle twist on personalized jewelry. The constellation representing a zodiac sign is laser cut into a gold-plated stainless steel pendant. Each necklace comes ready to give in wooden packaging and each one helps fund conservation efforts through contributions to The Trust For Public Land.
