Kolibri Torpedo Mini Drone for kids Micro Camera with FPV App Video Stream, Altitude Hold, Headless Mode, One-Button Auto Take-Off & Landing, Nano Quadcopter for Beginners Model: XK2380

I wasn’t sure about this drone to start with the inverted props on this, but it does work and flies pretty well. This is a little drone at 2.6 x 2.6 x 1.4 inches and only weighs half a pound and should only be flown in little to no wind.

For the price and size of this, this does come with a lot of features and can be flown either with just the controller or using your phone or tablet. With the one-touch takeoff, the drone will hover a few feet off the ground until you take control of it and you can push the same button to auto land it. Works pretty well. This has altitude hold and this means it will stay close to where you leave the height using the left stick as it uses a barometer to hold it at that height until you move it.

Headless mode works (doesn’t matter which way the drone is facing, it will fly the way you push the stick) and I think is recommended on this drone until you get good at flying it as it is easy to get the drone turned around and not know which way it is facing from a distance since it is so small. This is only good for about 150 feet in unobstructed view before you lose contact and control of this drone from the transmitter or app but does get hard to see much further than this anyway. It does have an audible alarm that will sound when you are getting close to out of range. So when you hear that, bring it back to you, kill the motors and drop the drone or hit the return to home which may not work if you get too far away.

The camera on this is a little on the low end at 420p at 15 fps but still allows for ok video and pictures or for viewing on your cell phone, tablet or VR goggles as you fly this (way better than I thought it would be). The video and pictures are stored on your device and will not work when flying with the transmitter only without the app running.

A new feature I haven’t seen on any drone at this price range is the custom route feature. Use your finger to create a route on the screen of your device and the drone will follow that route and fly the route without any interaction from you. Very cool and works very well. 

Overall, a nice compact highly featured drone that works pretty well at this price range. The only downside I see on this drone is the battery is internal and cannot be replaced, so you can’t buy extra batteries and get more flight time.

Vintage Portable Turntable - 3 Speed Record Player Suitcase - Built In Stereo Speaker and Battery - 1/8” Stereo Headphone Jack, Aux Input, RCA Output – Blue VinylPal by ProduTrend #IWasInvited

The Vintage Portable Turntable by Produtrend looks cool and comes with its own speakers and a rechargeable 2200 mAh battery (about 4 hr play time) so this is very portable and easy to use.

Comes with an RCA connection to connect to bigger speakers if needed and a 3.5 mm port for connecting headphones and a port for another input source like your phone or laptop.

The sound on this is ok with the 20 watt built-in speakers and is good for listening to, but won’t shake the walls and rock you out of the room if that is what you are looking for. I could hear it in another room, so loud enough? Hooking up better speakers will give you a better quality of sound and better treble and bass. I think a lot depends on the music genre you listen to, as some music sounds better than others and the sound does crack at times at higher volumes on certain songs.

This does play all three record sizes and has 33.3, 45, and 78 RPM playback speeds. For protection, the needle comes with a protective cap to use when not in use and the turntable has an auto on/stop control switch on it.

ProduTrend Portable Outdoor Shower for Instant Shower Stream, Battery Powered Handheld Shower Ideal for Indoor, Camping, Beach, Road Travel, and More, Includes USB Charging Plug #IWasInvited

This portable outdoor shower is something much better than just hanging a 5-gallon jug from a tree branch. This comes with a hook for hanging on things as well as a suction cup and shower head holder for attaching to windows, sides of a truck, trailer or any place else you can think of or you can use it as a handheld showerhead if desired. 

The pump on this has a rechargeable 2200 mAh lithium battery that lasts for about an hour (4-5 ten minute showers) before needing to be recharged using any USB charger, power bank, USB port, or outlet and only takes about 30-60 minutes to charge it. 

The pump is just under 4 inches, so you will need an opening in the water container at least that big for this to fit or just use a big bucket and you are good to go. This will pay for itself for what you get with this and what it does.

Portable Handheld Steamer - 9 Attachments and Accessories – Pressurized, No Chemicals, Garment, Fabric and Surface Steam Cleaner – 12 ounces – Miracle Steam by ProduTrend #IWasInvited

This little handheld steamer is awesome. The water lid is a little hard to get off and the knobs are a little hard to operate, but the steam and the cleaning you can do with this is wonderful.

This cleans my tan color leather cars seats like nothing I have tried before. It also makes cleaning the food splatter off the inside of my microwave very easy. Kids never cover anything when they cook in there.

Comes with multiple attachments for about every surface or need you could have, is lightweight, portable and very easy to carry around. But be warned, once you get started, you will want to keep going from one thing to the next cleaning everything in your path.

Baby Nasal Aspirator with 24 Hygiene Filters to Clear Infants Stuffy Noses, Hospital Grade Snotsucker Uses Parents Own Suction to Keep Babies Mucus-Free by Bundle Tumble #IWasInvited

This baby nasal aspirator (snot sucker) is something no one wants to talk about or even use, but these new types are so much better than the old bulbs that used to be used.

This is easy to use, clean, safe and gentle on the baby and makes dealing with this part of child rearing so much easier and bearable. Your child will thank you for not having a clogged nose.

These use a filter (24 included) to stop anything from being sucked into your mouth while you are sucking on the hose and just get thrown away when done being used. Then just wash and disinfect the tube in hot water or in the microwave in a steamer bag.

Baby Thermometer for Fever - Forehead and Ear Infrared Temperature Reading for Infants, Babies and Toddlers by Bundle Tumble #IWasInvited

The first grandbaby is coming and I need to be ready. I have seen and read a lot about these new thermometers and thought this would be so much easier and faster to use compared to the old glass and mercury ones.

This thermometer is great because all it takes is a quick swipe on the forehead or place it in the ear (or under the arm for a newborn) and done. You get the temperature on a big easy to read the screen with a backlight. It will even beep and flash if they have a fever.

Another great feature is it will hold up to 20 of the last readings, so you can go back and see those if needed (doctor may ask) and as a bonus, it comes with a velvet bag with a drawstring to store it in when not in use. Couldn’t be any easier. A must-have for anyone with children, grandchildren or just for yourself.

Ampeak 400W Power Inverter DC 12V to 110V AC Converter with 3.1A Dual USB Charger Review

Size: 400 Watt


The Ampeak inverter is something I should have bought when I first started tailgating at the football games. This means I can take and use something with a 110v plug or a USB plug now in my SUV. Now I can keep something hot now when needed and I can charge my phones, laptop or tablet when needed.

This thing is about the size of my hand (5.9” x 4.44” x 2.19”) and lightweight but feels pretty well built and should last as long as I take care of it. This is small enough to fit in the glove box or center console when not in use or also very portable if I need to take it with me in another car or vehicle.

Now that I have this, I am finding more and more things I can use this with when needed. Using and filling an air mattress up when camping in a tent or on the floor of a hotel, sleeping in the back of the van, truck or RV is a breeze when you can plug a pump in. I can also now use my laptop on long trips now and just plug it in when needed. Also helps keep the kids entertained and interested as they can play, watch a movie or show without the battery dying before the end.

I love taking food to the game but hot food is always hard to keep hot without plugging something in and now I can. I can also charge a couple of phones as well at the same time if needed with the two USB ports and two 12v AC plugs on the front of this. 

I really like that it comes with both the battery clamps and the cigarette lighter plug so I have options on how to use and plug this in if needed. For our safety, it also comes with two replaceable 35 amp fuses, a cooling fan, an audible alarm and will auto shut down in case there is ever a problem. 

Overall, this is a great buy and works as described. I may have to buy a bigger one sometime so I can run more stuff at the same time if needed but for now, this was a good choice and works well for what I needed it for.
