Gellydrop Nails
Gellydrop nails
Ohora semicured gel nail strips are similar in concept to other nail strips available. The main difference is these strips, sold by Gellydrops, are thicker and they set with a UV LED light.
Our tester said, "I'm terribly hard on my nails and don’t even try regular polish anymore. I was instantly in love with these strips. They adhered well and gave my nails added strength. I got two tiny chips on day 12 but they were small enough I could live with them. The strips stayed on for 19 days before I removed them due to nail growth, not because they were falling off."

Sticker Suncatcher Kit
Eric Carle Suncatchers
This kit comes with everything you need to decorate seven suncatchers based on the book “The Very Hungry Caterpillar.”
"This was the perfect spring time craft! My 3 year old needed to be guided but my 8 and 5 year olds were completely independent," an Omaha mom said. "At first I thought there wasn’t going to be enough stickers, but there was an abundance."
She noted that placing the suncatchers on a white piece of paper while decorating made it easier for the kids to see what they were doing. The butterfly has specific sticker shapes, so make sure to start with that one.
"We finished our time together by reading the story and it was a lot of fun!"
Where to find: amazon.com, $14.99
