4) Gratitude Jar
These Made in the USA, printed glass gratitude jars encourage you to take a moment to be thankful—and they do it beautifully. Their apothecary jar style looks sharp as it gets filled with loving notes. Or, next time you find a penny or some spare change, take a second to note your blessings as you drop it into the jar. As you watch the jar fill up, you’ll build a habit that helps you focus on the positive things in your life.
5) Rechargeable LED Poi Balls
Not only is this outdoor kid’s toy a spectacle of light, it’s also a great exercise of your coordination and dexterity. The Poi dance traces all the way back to the Maori people in New Zealand. It involves swinging soft LED weights rhythmically to create geometric patterns. This version is lighter and brighter, which is great for beginners of all ages. Start with simple movements and as you try to master more complicated ones, you’ll build flexibility and creativity.
