That was my first thought too, LOL. I just have the one cat but I can't help wondering what Belle would think of it. Plus I like that it's so small.

@Prnencetti 6 ай бұрын

Hi, I’ve had that charging bracelet for my phone before and I think it’s an OK bracelet. It’s not very good if you’re gonna keep taking it on and off but if you’re going away on an airplane trip and you don’t wanna take your long cables out of your suitcase, that is something you can easily snap on and snap off and have with you on the airplane tray in your seat. If you’re gonna be sitting there for a long time on an airplane flight, that is one of the chargers, you’re gonna wanna get so that you’re never without power. Also, at five below, they do have power banks, so you can get the bracelet and then get the power bank along with the bracelet. That’s something I would give to a kid maybe with their first phone you told them to keep their expensive cable that came with their phone on their nightstand next to their bed and then give them the bracelet and the five dollar power bank. They’re good to go for the day set up for a young teenager. Just getting their first First phone in my opinion

I buy the large phone cases when available, the nylon case gives me about 6 months of use before the Velcro flap wear out or the loop that goes through the belt tears. Also get the charging cables 4 or 6 foot c or lightning, the expensive ones break in the same spot, where it plugs into the phone. Last time I was at a five below none of the stuff they had advertised was unboxed, still wrapped up on skids. I’ll try again this week. Store was what I wanted when I was 13 or 14, I bought the neon rope and repaired a clock that the glass tube broke, best 5 bucks I spent there.

My spouse got me a watercolor kit with 100 colors and one kinda crappy small brush (but we have our own brushes), the colors are great though. Some watercolor paper which is okay - it could be whiter and have to wait longer to apply more color of what was just colored than the more expensive stuff. But for $5 each I am completely happy. Also my grand father had something similar (to the hersheys thing) that he got at a thrift store. It was held by hand but it could do a full sized glass. It would have worked fine on my 8oz glasses and my larger ones which I think are pints. I have been trying to figure out the name of that thing forever so I could get one. What I do find odd though is I have never seen Hershey's in powdered form - only NesQuick and maybe Olvaltine but I think the main flavor in the is something other than chocolate, I never liked it as a kid. Unless it's specifically for hot chocolate. But i have never seen hot chocolate mix by Hersheys - Only Swiss Miss, Nestle, Land O Lakes and store brands commonly.
