can’t be quite as comfortable as the bigger, more substantial sleeping bags on the market (though, this isn’t a bad choice when you consider that it’s basically a two-person tent with a sleeping bag attached to it, and they’re incredibly comfy and warm). If you’re on a budget, however, this is the one for you.
The only drawback is that at 17 pounds it’s not quite as light as some of the other options, especially if you’re a side sleeper. If you’re a side sleeper looking for a comfortable 3-season tent from a brand you trust, we highly recommend the Big Agnes Big House 5, which is a very comfortable little sleeping bag that will keep you comfy and warm for years to come.

33. The Most Interesting Science Toy
This thing’s a science experiment! The toy is a small robot version of a human head that performs better than it looks. But wait. It gets better. This small robot toy comes with an extra-large head that’s not just about looks, but also performance.
But that’s not all. This model is also the most expensive toy the company’s ever made. And the company’s going to spend more than $80 on the replacement of the head when it gets worn out. That’s a lot of money for a toy that won’t last very long.
The good news is that when you’re finished playing with this toy, you can pick up a replacement head for a less than $50.
The robot also has a few other nice features, such as a laser eye on the side to see what’s going on around you. The downside is that you have to stick this toy to a surface that’s flat to work. If you’re looking at it from a flat surface, you’ll have to put this toy on the floor and then add it to a surface of your choosing.
The good news is that if you’re worried about the price, this robot is actually very cheap indeed. You’ll get a replacement head for $35-45 and you can also pick up a new head for another $35 or $50.

32. The Best Christmas Tree Sticks
Sticking a bunch of needles into a tree can be pretty darn effective. And this one from Mighty Matt is no exception.
It’s a Christmas Eve tree that’s been coated in the super-addictive acetal resin. It’s really, really good at making needles stick and make it easy to pull them out.
While this might seem like a cool idea, the downside to this is that it’s a pain to handle. You’ll have to make sure it’s not too big or it will be really difficult to tip over.
Another good thing about this is that it’s very sturdy so you don’t have to worry about it breaking or falling over. Plus, you can’t beat the price – which is really really, really good.
