Headphone Gift Ideas For Children


As much as many of us love our bluetooth earbuds, they just don't work all that great for smaller children. Not unless you want to sit there and hold the ear buds in your child's ears constantly. So I went seeking a couple of good options for headphones for children under 8. I found one cute girl option and one nice boy option. Apparently VCOM is a great designer of headphones that I had not known about. After checking out a few of their products, and of course buying a couple, I have to say their headphones are pretty great!


Cute Girl VCOM Headphones

  • VCOM Kids Headphones have a built-in volume limit technology with maximum volume levels that are safe for your child.

  • The adjustable headband ensures your child gets the right fit. The lightweight design with soft and comfortable ear pads is ideal for children of all ages.

  • The headphones are a compact size and come with a 1.5m audio cable, making this kids headphone easy to pack and take anywhere you go.

  • Using a standard 3.5mm audio straight jack, the headphones are compatible with all standard 3.5mm audio jack systems.

  • These VCOM girl's headphones come in light blue or pink.

  • At less than $20 they are a great deal! 


     

    Boys VCOM Transformer Design Headphones



    • With a standard audio jack the headphones can be used in any of your child's devices or in the car.

    • The parts easily pop off and back on easily. So if your little man is a bit rough on them it will be ok.

    • VCOM kid's headphones have a limit to the volume so you know your child won't turn it up too high and your child's ears will be safe.

    • The headphones are easily flexible. So when the natural instinct of a child kicks in and they bend them it will be ok and you won't have to worry.

    • The price range on the boy's headphones are $15-$20 depending on the color style you want. So they are low enough to be affordable for almost every budget.






    Not only are VCOM headphones affordable, but they are super cute. I have to admit I sort of expected them to look super cheap. However these are actually really cute. It's like they mixed an adorable toy with great technology. I would definitely recommend these headphones for a young child!

    Best Small Bluetooth Speaker ~ ONVO AJ-81 Black Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker ~40% off

    Are you looking for the best Bluetooth speaker? Do you want the best Bluetooth Speaker to have high quality sound that doesn't have that awful scratchy sound? If you are, then the ONVO Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker is a great option.

    I have tried out MANY Bluetooth speakers. For the size this is the loudest speaker I have ever had the pleasure of reviewing! Is it super pretty? Not really. I've had so many adorable colored ones, but none of them have the sound of this one. So to me being the best Bluetooth speaker is about quality and sound!



    Click this link, add to cart, and put code SXBJTPD7 to get 40% off! 
     
     
    I just paired it with my phone, left it in my bedroom, and could still hear it over the sound of washing dishes in the kitchen. It is actually louder than our 30 inch tall Bluetooth speaker. It pairs easily. You can use it for music, or if you want you can use it for phone calls. I really like that aspect of it because when my son is away from home he often calls me while I am busy doing stuff around the house. So it makes it easier for me to do more than one thing at a time.
    I was really caught off guard by the ONVA Portable Bluetooth Speaker. I love when you get a product and your expectations are exceeded! By far this is the best Bluetooth portable speaker I have tested out yet! 


    ONVO AJ-81 Black Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker Specs

     

     


    • Crystal clear deep bass 3W + 3W HD loud speakers with 2 inches premium drivers for both active outdoor and indoor use.

    • Built-in Li-Ion Rechargeable 1000mAh Battery for about 4~6 hours of playtime.

    • Compatibility for Android, iPhone, iPad, Tablets, Smartphones, iPods, MP3, MP4.

    • Plays all Audio devices through 3.5mm audio cable, which is included. A micro USB cable is also included for charging the battery, it plays while charging

    • Supports Wireless Music Streaming via New Bluetooth v4.0 Technology and powerful NFC function.


     This will be my new kitchen speaker. I love to dance while I wash dishes, clean and cook. Usually I pass these off to the kids, but not this time! This one is all mine! With as loud as it is I can even take it outside for pool time so we can have music while playing in the pool. I've tried others while at the pool, but they were never loud enough. The ONVO Bluetooth Speaker is loud enough to hear over the kids playing!

      Ohuhu Electronic Bug Fly Zapper Mosquito Killer



      This Ohuhu Electronic Bug Fly Zapper Mosquito Killer is a lot better than I was expecting. I had used a solar bug zapper in the past that didn't seem to do anything. So I wasn't sure what to expect out of this. The pictures made it look like it was meant to be at a gas station or something. I just wasn't sure it would help with our issue of house flies.

      We live in a rural area, but we have trash pick up. The problem is the only convenient place to put our outdoor trash can is right by our back deck. I have back issues and if I want to be able to take the trash our, moving the outdoor trash can anywhere else is not a possibility.

      Unfortunately flies get into the trash, then when we have nice weather and I want to open the back door we end up with flies in the house. These aren't your average flies either. These are brave, land on your face, and land on your cup of coffee with it 2 inches from your mouth kind of flies which are a pain in the butt. Surprisingly this Ohuhu bug zapper works beyond what I was expecting.



      What You Need to Know About the Ohuhu Bug Zapper:


      - Works on at least flies, moths, and mosquitoes.

      - Works fast.

      - Draws in the bugs quickly.

      - Occasionally you will see a bug get zapped and it will smoke a tiny bit. This is normal since it is zapping the fly.

      - Tray is easily removed to dump dead bugs.

      - Bugs stuck to the zapper fall off if you tap the front of the zapper.

      - Indoor or Outdoor We've had success using in our kitchen, bedroom, and back deck.

      - Can be hung or just sat on the floor.

      - Powerful 20 Watt: Two 10 Watt UV light emits wavelength light to effectively attract insects towards the electricity panes with up to 10,000 working hour lifespan

      Covers up to a range of 320 square feet.






      Overall this Ohuhu Electronic Bug Zapper is awesome. I am so glad we got it. Flies are nasty creatures, and other than tics, they are my least favorite bug. I am glad to know that we now have an easy way to get rid of them without me spraying poison around my home or my dog chasing them down and eating them like they are a snack! You can get your own bug zapper here.

      I got these iJoy Matte Finish Premium Rechargeable Bluetooth Wireless Headphones for my 10 year old to go with his new phone. I have realized that any headphones with cords or wires are a no go in or house. They always end up with shorts in the wires. Headphones are without a doubt a must around here. With three kids, all 3 with tablets, and 2 with phones I just don't want to hear the constant noise from the devices. We have tried lots of Bluetooth headphones and ear buds. These are a very cool set.



      What you need to know:

      • These are Bluetooth so no wires
      • Volume and sound can be changed on the side of the headphones. Every button you need is right there for you.

      • Adjustable for comfort. I tried them on myself, and my 10 and 12 year old's both tried them too. Good fit for all 3 of us.

      • You can insert a micro sd card if you don't want to have to deal with bluetooth.

      • They withstand my son walking about 40 feet from his tablet with no issues.

      • They look very nice. Color on the Orange is great, and the silicone type feel is nice.

      • Collapsible

      • Battery Life is 6-8 hours

      • Come in multiple colors for everyone in your house! 






      Overall the iJoy Matte Finish Premium Rechargeable Bluetooth Wireless Headphones are awesome. Especially if you don't want to pay an arm and a leg for a pair. If you want to get your own pair you can find them here.

      I-Mate 7-day Programmable Digital Timer Switch



      Are you tired of having to remember to turn something on or off every night? Would like to know that you don't have to worry about remembering an extra thing to do at the end of a long day? I know I had a bad habit of forgetting to turn off the aquarium every night. By the time the day is over, I get the kids in bed, and manage to clean up a bit of the mess around the house my poor fishes are the last thing on my mind.






      Don't worry they are well cared for, they just have no sense of day or night. I always remember to turn it on in the mornings because that is when I feed them, but I just hate the hassle of remembering to turn it off at night. So this I Mate Programmable Digital Timer Switch is now making my life easier and my fish might actually start knowing what it is like to have a full night of dark.

      This digital time is easy to set up, and best of all, once you have it set up you don't have to worry about it anymore! It just keeps on working without giving it another thought.






      Since my fish light is plugged into a power strip, I just plug the power strip into the timer. At Christmas time we put our Christmas tree near this same spot, so we will now be able to plug our Christmas tree lights into the power strip and the timer will turn them off at the same time it turns off the aquarium.

      So no matter if you are looking for something to turn off your computer, your kid's video game system, Christmas lights, your lamp, or even just to keep your house lit while you are on vacation the I-Mate Programmable Digital Timer is your solution. You can find one for yourself here.

      LIG Group Bluetooth 3.0 Portable Wireless Speaker Review



      I've been getting really big into getting Bluetooth speakers lately. I love having one in every room. Having a house with 5 people in it can get a bit noisy, and I have found to gain some control over the madness the best thing to do is turn on some music.

      Time to clean, turn on music.
      Time to brush teeth, turn on some music!
      Time to go play in the pool, turn on some music.

      Music is really the best medicine, and the best attention gainer. When the kids are fussing with each other, blasting a song always makes them stop.





      LIG Group Bluetooth 3.0 Portable Wireless Speaker

      For a small speaker I was pleasantly surprised by the loudness of this LIG Bluetooth speaker. The volume is loud enough to drown out the sounds of Minecraft which is always going in our house. It is also loud enough to still hear while the kids are playing loudly in the pool. 

      The Bluetooth connects easily. No issues at all, and we have connected 4 different devices to it and all connected easily. 

      The LIG Bluetooth speaker is super light weight. Only half a pound. It's also water resistant, not water proof, but this certainly helps when I am by the pool and have to deal with the occasional splash. 

      The only con to this device is the radio feature. If you are living in the city you probably won't have an issue. However I live in the country, very rural. I get all of 2 channels. I get a religious channel and a talk radio channel. So the radio part is pointless for me. 

      That one con though was not a big one. I can easily play youtube videos, pandora, or other music playlists from my phone. 

      If you would like to try this out, you can find it here. For the price and size it is a great bluetooth speaker!
