Retractable Phone Charger for Car
If you’ve been here for even a minute, you know how much I despise cords showing. Well, this solves all of my cord showing hate. Pull out the cord when in use and easily retract it when it’s not. Clean, organized – makes me so happy!

All of my girls would go crazy for this in their room! A fun place to keep a to-do list, write a seasonal or uplifting message or a great spot for some creative doodles!

The perfect gift for any athlete (available in blue, pink, and red!). It adds that extra touch of game-day excitement, making them feel like a pro.

My 13 year old has one of these and gets complimented on it on a weekly basis. It’s not only incredibly cute, but it fits a chapstick nicely inside.

Large Capacity Pencil Case
Why does having a good, organized pencil case make me so happy? I love all of the colors options, plus they have enough room for more than just pencils. Add in a chapstick, mini lotion or gum with no problem.
Chicken Pens
Analese offered these as prizes at a teen party and they were one of the first things to go. Not only are they funny and cute, but they actually write really smoothly, let out just enough ink and don’t smear!
Mini Nerf Ball Set
This 3-ball set includes a mini basketball, soccer ball, and football – bringing hours of endless fun! Bonus: they double as stress balls, making them perfect for playtime or a quick squeeze.
Sneaker Deodorizer Balls
Puberty hits all of us during the teen years, and unfortunately lots of new smells often accompany it. These sneaker deodorizer balls are easy to throw in athletic shoes to keep those pesky smells at bay.
Paper Airplane Set –
I know teens may act like they are too old for toys and “kid things”, but I don’t think they could resist building paper airplanes over and over again till they make the perfect one. I think I know of some grown men who would love this gift.
