Are These Friendly Aliens The New Garden Gnomes?

Published

Like many people this time of year, I have been spending a lot of time online looking for things to do around the yard. Eventually, my attention turned to the garden, where I stumbled upon this popular product on Amazon:

Qingo Fairy Garden Accessories Glow in Dark Tree Elves Garden Decor Miniature Luminous Ghost 10pcs kit for Micro Landscape Gnomes Garden Decoration Outdoor Patio Lawn Yard Kit — $11.98

As you can imagine, my attention was immediately arrested. Most of the top products on Amazon in the gardening category are either flower beds or hoses. What dimension did this 10-pack of extraterrestrial critters come from?

The description does not give many helpful details. They are variously called gnomes, fairies, and tree elves, but the word “alien” is mysteriously absent. Is that intentional?

I decided I had to do some digging. These are obviously popular purchases, as evidenced not only by their high sales rank but also by the fact that versions of the creatures are listed by several competing Amazon sellers. These include LYT and LOVONLIVE.

LYT Garden gnome Statue Statue, Princess Mononoke Luminous Tree Spirit Elves Little Jade Gardening Potted Plants, Ten Packs, for Terrace, Balcony, Yard, Lawn Decoration (White) (10Pcs) — $10.66

This is where I find my answer. As prominently displayed in the title text for the LYT figurines, these little guys are from “Princess Mononoke,” a 1997 Japanese film from Studio Ghibli. It turns out the original Qingo listing was correct: They are in fact “tree elves,” and their presence around flora indicates healthy and thriving plant life.

I feel edified having discovered this factoid, but after reading many customer reviews, it does not seem all that important. Most Americans treat the set as a bunch of friendly aliens. You do not need to be familiar with Japanese animated movies to spruce up your garden with these adorable inch-high statuettes. I am fairly certain they don’t bite.

At $9, This Silly Plush Turkey Hat Is A Must-Own

Published

on

In 2022, Santa hats are out. Silly turkey hats are in.

I was on Amazon looking for things to do over Thanksgiving with relatives (eventually landing on the brand new game Christmas Categories) when I came across this:

Kangaroo Plush Thanksgiving Day Roasted Turkey Hat Tan — $8.95

My first thought was that it creates the perfect opportunity for someone in the family to recreate the classic Monica turkey head scene from Friends:

Then I realized that there are many ways you can have fun with the turkey hat Thanksgiving. When you play games, you can decide in advance that the loser has to wear the turkey hat. Or perhaps you can start a tradition that whoever carves the turkey each year gets to wear the turkey hat. The possibilities are endless!

No matter how you are spending the holiday this year (with funny turkey hat, or sans funny turkey hat), the We Know Products team wishes you a very happy Thanksgiving!

Keep Comfort Within Arm’s Reach With NAIPO’s New Handheld Massager

Published

on

If you go on Amazon and search for “handheld massager,” you will find dozens and dozens of clones of the same $100 massage gun. My immediate reaction upon seeing this was that there is no longer any innovation in the massager industry. Instead of actually investing in R&D to come up with more advanced ways to help customers, massager companies seem content to copy one another and compete on price.

One company gives me hope. That company is NAIPO, a well-known massager brand whose stated mission is to help people all over the world “Find Well-being.” NAIPO’s latest handheld massager features a brand new design that provides added value for the user. While it is still a percussion massager, its sleek comfort-grip handle grants access to otherwise inaccessible areas of the body. It also features 5 interchangeable massager heads so that you are able to treat each acupuncture point with the best possible massage.

This attention to detail creates a truly customizable experience. After a workout or just a long day at work, you can choose from 5 different speed levels and 5 different working modes, from gentle relaxation to vigorous, deep-tissue massage. By virtue of the extended front grip, you can give exactly the right type of massage to previously neglected muscles all over your body.

A common complaint about percussion massagers is the noise level that can make it awkward or even impossible to use in public. The new NAIPO handheld massager is different. Unlike its competitors, it provides amazing results with only a single massage head. This has the twin effect of reducing noise levels and making it lighter and therefore less unwieldy, a huge plus especially for older users.

The NAIPO XF-5120 handheld massager will be available for purchase soon, and at $52.99 it is inarguably cheaper than similar products on the market. You get your very own either at NAIPO’s own storefront on naipocare.com or on Walmart.com. Stay tuned for more updates!
