A travel tray equipped with a dry-erase board, tablet stand,and plenty of pockets
Now your kid can have anything and everything they'd ever need to be entertained on long car rides (or even just on the way to school, if we're being honest). It's available in nine colors/patterns.
Promising review: "This thing is great — it gives him a drink holder, a spot to put markers or whatever, a built-in whiteboard, a table for drawing or eating his snacks, a place to prop up his tablet if he's just going to watch a movie, storage for the markers and whatnot when not in use, and the strap around his back keeps it in place (doesn't need to be very tight, but just having it there stops it from slipping). Seriously, this is great." — Kelly C, 7/25/2023

A peanut butter knife so you can scrape every last glob out of the jar
Promising review: "OK, when I saw this suggested to me, I thought why would I spend $13 for a butter knife. But I use a LOT of natural crunchy peanut butter and if you do too, you know what a hassle it is to stir is with your standard butter knife and have the oil all over the place. Well, no more. This thing is one of the best purchases I made this year. It's long enough and sturdy enough that stirring natural peanut butter is effortless. Gets to the bottom of the jar without getting anything on your hands. Same goes for mayo, mustard, whatever. Buy it. Just buy it. You won't regret it." — Amazon Customer, 7/20/2023
