4 Stars: Homeder 40 Spool Sewing Thread 100% Cotton Assorted Spool Threads Sewing Thread Bobbins Of Colorful Assorted Thread Spool for Embroidery Machine Use

One of my passions is sewing.  I like to make bags and upcycle clothes.  I've tried my hand at sewing my own clothes, but I'm not as good as I'd like to be.  I saw this deal for 40 spools of thread from Homeder on Amazon for only $11.99 and couldn't believe it.  I normally pay between $3 and $6 per spool.  Since I'm always trying to save money, I thought I'd give this thread a try.

The spools come with a pink plastic box with a lid.  The box has holes around the edges, so if you were planning to use this thread for embroidery, you could string the thread through one of the holes.  


I wasn't a big fan of the pink color, but beggars can't be choosers, right?  I'm kind of anti-pink, but that's a whole other story.  Per the description, each spool contains 200 yards of thread, which is more than enough for most sewing projects.  The spools fit perfectly onto my sewing machine.  I sewed a practice project with my machine and the thread and it appears to be strong and not prone to breakage.  This is important because you don't want thread constantly breaking while sewing or for your clothes to fall apart later.


There are 40 colors including 2 metallic spools.  The reason for the 4 stars and the one thing I would change is there isn't a notch on the spools to keep the end of the thread.  Once you've started using a spool, the thread can then unwind easily from the spool.  I ended up using my exacto knife to cut a notch in each spool.

5 Stars: Boomile Solar String Lights 8 Modes 100LED 33ft Copper Wire Lights Waterproof Starry Fairy String Lights Ambiance Lighting for Outdoor Landscape Patio Garden Christmas Wedding (warm white)

I bought these lights to put in my yard so that there was light, but I didn't want extension cords across the yard.  These lights are about 30 feet long.  They are $10.99 on Amazon . The unlighted part of the power cord is about 80 inches long or almost 7 feet long.  This made is easy to run the lights up the tree trunk.   The lights have 8 different modes.  My favorite is the slow fade one.  Another nice feature is that the lights have a sensor to turn on when it gets dark and turn off when it gets light.  I don't have to go turn them on or off all the time.   These would also work great in the fairy light jars that are so popular right now and since they don't require being plugged in, the jar can sit anywhere there is ambient light to charge them. I received this product for free for my honest opinion.

I'm always looking for easy gift sets to give out at the last minute.  Like when I find out that tomorrow is a coworkers birthday and I forgot to get them a gift.  This shower gel and lotion set is perfect for that situation.  The set is $21.99 on amazon right now which is comparable to buying a set from Bath & Body. The set comes in a black organza bag so it is ready to give as a present.  Each bottle is 8 ounces. The shower gel is a nice thick consistency and has nice big bubbles.  It has a soft sweet scent that isn't overwhelming. The lotion has a smooth white texture and rubs in easily without an oily feeling.  It smells like flowers and grapefruit.  Like the gel, the scent is not overwhelming and very subtle. I received this product at a discount for my honest review.

5 Stars: Ovulation Test Strips and Pregnancy Test Kit - 50 LH and 20 HCG - OPK Ovulation Predictor Kit iProven FK-127

My husband and I have been trying to conceive (TTC) for over a year now.  This kit by iProven is a great "starter kit" for those trying to conceive.  Buying the tests at the store can start to get really expensive.  This kit is is $21.20 on Amazon right now.   This one has 50 ovulation prediction tests (OPKs) which can last a couple of months.  I usually use somewhere between 8 and 10 a month.  It also has 20 pregnancy tests which again should last a couple of month.  My usually on these is about 5 a month.   The pregnancy tests are blue dye tests which my doctor told me seem to be more accurate with less false positives than pink dye tests.  (This refers to the color of the dye that makes the lines on the test.)  It all also comes in a nice box to keep them organized.  Other brands I have bought came in envelopes of plastic bags. I have to say the best feature of this kit is the literature that is included.  One side of the literature talks about how the
