Style: Basic | Verified Purchase

This is a great night light. My daughter loves the changing color setting. I really like how there is the 50% mode and the 100% mode so I can adjust it depending on how much light we need in the room. On top of that, the design is super cute. I would definitely recommend it for a children’s room.

I love this to bits. I needed a clock for my desk so I wouldn’t waste time with always having to check my phone for the time; those few seconds every time could surely add up, and it distracts me from my momentum…honestly a pain in the butt.

So this was perfect! I was looking for something easy to read at a glance, doesn’t take up too much desk room, and matches the other cutesy nonsense I have arranged on it. It was very easy to set up as well. Love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars | A great must have!

Verified Purchase

I really love this t-shirt! I was a bit weary of purchasing it since it didn’t have many reviews and no pictures, but I am happy with the product. Looks like it is printed rather than being a vinyl pressed in (which is better so there won’t be any cracking). I ordered a 2XL because I like the baggy look and it fits great. For reference, I am 5’6 and a half. Would definitely purchase again.
