I had to pick up an NCAA inflatable mascot for D.A.’s yard—Syracuse style of course. The 7-foot self-inflating officially licensed mascot will have people pumping their brakes to get a good look as they drive by – plus there’s no guessing who you are rooting for.


You can leave these lights up year-round! Twinkly LED app connected lights have been a go-to for me for years. These lights have tons of color options and effects for every holiday. Change speed, brightness and even create animations. Twinkly comes in a variety of styles from standard bulb to icicle to curtains.


Who wouldn’t want this powerful electric slicer with a chainsaw inspired design! Add some excitement to the holiday table as you pull the trigger to slice the turkey with some serious man power. And it’s not just for the turkey – Mighty Carver is also great for creating a scene when slicing roasted chicken, steak, bread, pineapple or melons.

Plugs into AC and is equipped with stainless steel blades, an ergonomic handle and a removable plastic “chainsaw” safety guard.


The hovering helmet is the best talking piece. Available in MLB, NFL or NCAA with built-in LEDs for a little extra pizazz. It’s a half scale helmet that has an electromagnetic base, which enables it to levitate in mid-air 24/7 – your office desk will never be in the same.


Simply put -- keep track of your stuff. Apple Airtags are about the size of a quarter and are great to attach to anything you often lose – like your keys! Connect with the FindMy app and known instantly where you left anything. Lasts a year on a standard battery and is water resistant.


This indoor smores roaster toasts marshmallows over a stainless-steel electric heater. Gather the family and enjoy your favorite campfire treats in the comfort of your own home – cozy and free of any bears.
