    For When You Need To Check The Time With The Dramatic Energy Of A Sea Captain Discovering A New Continent, There's This Antique Brass & Copper Sundial Compass

    Hands holding a vintage brass sundial compass, an impulse buy collectible worth the questionable financial decision.

    Review: "This was packaged very well. It was packaged with such care that the suspense was killing us as layer after meticulous layer was removed to get to the final reveal. That was all good for us because we would rather it came to us so carefully packaged and flawless. The design is exquisite and the attention to detail is beyond expectation. The pictures just don't do it justice. It feels like a good weight for what it is. It appears fully functional. My Dad has it on display next to an old model pirate ship like the one he grew up with. He collects copper and brass and this fits in perfectly. In fact, I already know what I will be gifting him for Christmas now. He really loves this and I think anyone who collects unique things will appreciate the workmanship and will be proud to add this to their collection. They may even move this to the front of their display." - Your New Best Friend

    Is it "antique" if it's being sold as a replica on Amazon, though?

    Keep Your Hands Busy So Your Brain Can At Least Pretend To Pay Attention In Meetings With A Set Of These Magnetic Silicone Fidget Balls

    Hand holding a set of textured purple and white balls, a popular impulse buy worth the financial decision.

    Review: "I ordered a smaller set of these magnetic spheres some time ago and really enjoyed using them - so when I saw this larger set, I knew I had to give them a try. The spheres come with a zippered carry case, which I thought was a nice touch. Each is a spherical magnetic ball coated in a textured silicone. There are four different textures (two of each style) and the colors are all different shades of purple. I like the weight of these spheres and their magnetic adhesion is good. You can form a magnetic chain with all the spheres, although it does tend to fall apart quickly due to the weight. These would make a good office/desk fidget and could even be used in a school setting since the silicone keeps them quiet. I would purchase again!" - NinjaMomK

    Your Bedroom Can Finally Achieve Its Full-On Enchanted Forest Aesthetic With Some Glowing Mushroom Night Lights

    Night light shaped like glowing mushrooms with plant details plugged into a wall outlet, an impulse buy worth considering.

    Review: "I’m obsessed with this nightlight and at the price of it I am certainly going to buy more. My only small complaint is the mushrooms sit against the back of the nightlight so they’re up against the wall despite the fact it sticks out a bit and would seem to be a better design if it was more in the middle. No safety risk at all because they put out no heat but just noting. Still worth all five stars and will be buying more." - Amazon Customer
