Although I think it's quite gross to eat a jelly bean not knowing you're going to get one that tastes like a normal piece of candy or a stinky sock, a rotten egg, and grass. They were absolutely tickled. They sorted the jelly beans by color and then took turns deciding who was going to eat what pair combination hoping to get one of each. I think the other part of the game was seeing who could say 'ewww' the loudest when they bit into the 'wrong' one! They continue to ask for them, so I'll continue to buy them, but I won't be eating them. Fun for the girls and their friends. And it really kept them entertained for a good 30 minutes." — MS MONIQUE

It's great to casually doodle in while passing time since you don't have to think of what to draw, but it also can be really helpful when brainstorming for creative projects.

Plus, it's small and super portable! Highly recommend!"

Welcome to Shark Week 2025 on the Discovery Channel; here's how to watch
The Discovery Channel is getting in on the celebration of the 50th anniversary of "Jaws" when its annual "Shark Week" hits the air this week. The goal of "Shark Week" has always been education and reducing the fears with biologists, conservationists and field researchers. However, while Discovery is not going full Sharknado on us this year, there's going to be a little nightmare fuel with shows like "Great White Reign of Terror" and 'Florida's Death Beach." Steve Kessel, director of marine research at Chicago's Shedd Aquarium, applauds the educational possibilities of Shark Week, even when the outlandish outweighs the science. 'Since Shark Week started, it's gone in waves of more educational and more sensational," Kessel says. 'Shark Week has the power to change perceptions, but there's also fearmongering, because people love to be scared; they love the horror.' Here's what you need to know about Shark Week. Shark tracked off Jersey Shore: Great white shark tracked off Jersey Shore on 1st day of summer, anniversary of Jaws release When is Shark Week? Shark Week runs from July 20 through July 26. The programming begins at 8 each night. How to watch Shark Week? Shark Week (July 20-26) airs on the Discovery Channel and streams on Discovery+ and HBO Max.

For the 37th annual Shark Week, there's going to be something special – Dancing With the Sharks. According to the show with television personality Tom Bergeron features an underwater dance competition between expert divers and their shark partners. Blending skill, grace and the daring pursuit of the ultimate underwater thrill, five divers will compete to show off their skills during epic underwater dances. "Jaws" gets its due with "Surviving Jaws,' which features marine biologist Tom 'The Blowfish' Hird and predator ecologist Michelle Jewell diving with great white sharks to answer movie-related questions such as "Does skinny-dipping really attract great white sharks?" There's also "How to Survive a Shark Attack," "Great White Sex Battle," "Frankenshark" and "Attack of the Devil Shark." For a full list of programs, go to the Shark Week website. Are there copycats of Shark Week? Since the Discovery Channel has had such great success, you had to know there would be copies. National Geographic's SharkFest began in 2012 as a one-week TV event and has since grown into a multiweek shark TV celebration with 25 hours of predator programming that streams on Disney+ and Hulu, this year through July 21. Netflix dives into the summer shark frenzy in 2025 with two major projects. "Shark Whisperer," a documentary following the controversial social media star and marine activist Ocean Ramsey, who interacts with great whites and tiger sharks in viral videos. Also, there's the competition "All the Sharks," which pits shark enthusiasts in a race to photograph rare species, combining conservation with competition and showcasing cool sharks.

Because they're powered by the sun, you never need to worry about running out of battery or turning them on at night. It all happens automatically! Promising review: "I love these — smooth light shades show just enough light on the garden without extra lines showing on the ground. I like that there are three lengths of stakes to use. I used the smallest stake in the dirt at first. But now I must add stones/rocks, so I might have to change the length of the stakes too so it is a good idea to have that option. I have received a lot of compliments on the lights as it is rare to find the lights without distortion (details on the lamps)." —TeriGet it from Amazon for $32.93+ (available in packs of four or eight). A glassworks wind chime for adding some gorgeous color to your outdoor space. Nearly all wind chimes are metal or neutral tones — which is fine! — but it's refreshing to find an option that has a bit more flair. A fully insulated, aesthetically pleasing cooler that can hold a lot of your favorite bevvies, thanks to its 45 quart capacity. There's a drainage spout and built-in bottle opener, and you can prop the lid open for easy access, or keep it closed if you want your ice to last as long as possible. Some interlocking teak tiles to section off a special area of your backyard. No tools or glue are required. The tiles just snap together. Teak is also a preferred wood for all outdoor stuff because of its ability to survive through all types of weather. It is one of the few woods around that contains a natural oil that repels water. Bare Decor is a small business in Illinois making teak furniture and review: "Living in Hawaii, you have to select wise items that are weather-, salt-, and red dirt–proof, etc... In total I ordered 11 boxes to complete my yoga deck. I have a few left over to make steps on the back. Very pleased and happy. May order more for an outdoor shower project!" —AdazzleGet 10 square feet from Amazon for $77.99. A set of nine solar-powered jar lanterns filled with string lights so you can create a fairy-like outdoor experience every time the sun goes down. The battery life can be maintained for more than 500 cycles of charging, so these will be the star of the show for at least a few summers. A retro cornhole set to keep guests entertained. This will be the VIP when everyone's waiting around for their burgers to come off the grill during dinner time. A handcrafted wind bell that's like if modernism and bohemianism had a baby. This chime just has vibes, man. TheCraaft is a woman-owned small business based in Sedona, Arizona making handmade modern wind review: "Upon receiving this, I will be ordering more as gifts. Well made, packaged with care. Overall love this." —Joyce Carpenter Get it from TheCraaft on Etsy for $78 (available with four different clapper color options). A two-pack of solar-powered outdoor lantern lights to add just the right amount of illumination to your backyard. Because they don't require electricity, you can hang them and then not worry about maintenance. Promising review: "My goodness, I did not expect to love these lanterns as much as I do. They are very, very good quality and display lots of light. I hung both of them between my small patio and English garden, and they provided enough light for both areas. I received them late afternoon, so they got about four hours in the sun. At 9 p.m., both came on like clockwork. I got up at 3 a.m. to check if they were still on, and they were as bright as ever. They are so dang cute and unique in my yard. I will be buying more. Love, Love, Love them." —Dog TailorGet it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in three styles).

This JBL Party Speaker Just Hit a Record Low, Amazon Clears Out Stock Before Back to School
For real summer parties, small portable Bluetooth speakers simply don't cut it to get an entire crowd dancing. There are, however, larger portable ones that have gained much popularity for breathing life into parties. The JBL PartyBox 710 has established itself as a top choice (and our favorite choice) for anyone looking to create instant atmosphere among friends. Right now, the JBL PartyBox 710 is on sale at Amazon for only $599, close to $250 off its usual price of $850. That's the cheapest this party speaker has ever been on Amazon, and it's available as a limited time offer that's sure to sell out quickly. See at Amazon The big speaker blasts 800 watts of JBL Original Pro Sound from its twin 2.75-inch tweeters and pair of 8-inch woofers. The result is sound that's not just loud but also packed with detail and bass that you can feel. It's engineered to deliver authentic high-fidelity sound over large spaces, and it can transform a backyard or even outdoor area into an actual event. The PartyBox 710 doesn't hold back when it comes to light either: The built-in party lighting system can transform any environment into a concert or club with programmable and dynamic strobe effects and multicolor LED patterns. You can sync the lights to your music and create a starry night effect or switch to fast club-style flashes, all manageable either on the simple top panel or right from the PartyBox mobile app. With its sturdy handle and smooth-spinning wheels, it's built to roll with you – out to the patio, the park or wherever the party goes. The durable construction features IPX4 splash resistance so if a drink gets spilled or there's some unexpected rain, the music won't stop. It connects simply via Bluetooth to phones, tablets, and laptops for wireless control over playlists and volume. A dedicated PartyBox app enables real-time customization of lights, EQ settings, and music, while physical jacks make it simple to connect mics or instruments for karaoke and live performances. If you're looking to take your summer parties to the next level, this all-time low price on the JBL PartyBox 710 is one of the year's best audio opportunities. See at Amazon
