9. Wavy Neon SignsWith 3 different brightness settings, this bendable neon-style sign kit is sure to bring a unique pop of color to any room in their home. They can create endless designs!
Promising review: "This wire worked perfectly. I used it to make a neon sign, and it made an amazing Christmas gift!! Then I ordered it in orange, and the color was bright and true to the picture. The wire is thin and flexible and very easy to bend (without breaking), so it can be used for many things. I hot glued it to a wireframe that I formed, and it held perfectly. The battery pack was not too big and easy to use. There were three different modes that you can cycle through (continuous light, slow flash, and fast flash) by pressing the button on the pack. The wire does emit a low buzzing noise when you turn it on. If you ask me, it's no real bother. It isn't very loud and is barely noticeable for my purposes. Overall, this wire is totally cool. There are so many projects you could use it for, and nobody will have any clue how you did it!! lol. I'm very happy with my purchase and may buy more for another project in the future." - Rob

12. Adjustable Stick Figure Floor LampBrighten up your partner's or friend's space when you're away. They'll have a lamp that brightens their day!
Promising review: "Got exactly what I expected. Not a high-end, fancy fixture, but a nicely priced, fun lamp I could drop in a corner and add some lumens to my home office. Super easy to assemble. Came with extra bolts/washers/etc., and I LOVE that. I found that once assembled and positioned, I had to go back once to tighten everything. Not sure if that was because I was not aggressive enough the first time, but once I went over it again, it works great - stays in place. Want something charming, unpretentious, and fun that lights up a section of room? I recommend you consider this floor lamp." - John R.

13. Adjustable Dog or Cat LampA functional and adorable light for their fur baby. Not only is it cute, but it also keeps your pet safe and visible during nighttime walks.
Promising review: "This is a super-fun lamp with various poses. The ability to change the stance is fun for my toddler and helps develop his creativity. It looks good on our desk. I also loved that it is touch sensor activated to give it a premium look and feel. I do wish it had better cord management, so maybe a good upgrade for the manufacturer. Love that it has added a wonderful entertainment value to our evenings because it is like attending a rave in our backyard. We get to watch two glow sticks run and wrestle; it has been pretty fun. Beyond that, it gives us peace of mind that they will be seen by others so there is a built-in safety measure." - Bargain

15. DIY Miniature Bookstore ModelA thoughtful and creative gift for the avid book lover. Build a miniature bookstore model for their home!
Promising review: "This model has been such an enjoyable build. As of now, I am not completely finished. Having put around 20 hours into it, I'd say I have another eight hours more to go. The pieces are all vibrantly pre-painted, with the exception of one large base piece. The glue and tweezers it comes with are perfect for the job. The cloth I had gotten for the couch was not large enough, but I improvised by using another color cloth (that also came with the kit) for the seat. The attention to detail in this little study is just first class. I even recognized books that I have read/purchased in the past within this model! I am not experienced at all with building wooden kits and I was still able to do this one perfectly with minimal struggle. I will certainly be buying more Robotime models in the near future, the greenhouse one is next :)!" - B.R.J.G.

Promising review: "Now that the evenings are getting darker...and so are the mornings...this collar is exactly what we needed for our two puppies. We got one in green and the other in blue and both are BRIGHT. It gives us peace of mind because no matter what they are up to, we can see them. I will also add in that it has added a wonderful entertainment value to our evenings because it is like attending a rave in our backyard. We get to watch two glow sticks run and wrestle; it has been pretty fun. Beyond that, it gives us peace of mind that they will be seen by others so there is a built-in safety measure." - TReader
