Pokémon Ombre Mini Backpack by Loungefly

Rare Candies not included.

In the wise words of Professor Oak, there’s a time and place to use everything in your PokĂ©mon bag. Sure, this thing can’t fit a bicycle inside (seriously, what shrinking technology do they have in the Kanto region?), but it can be used to hold your necessities for a trip to class. Whether you’re part of the Generation 1 fans, or you know a young trainer starting their quest to be the very best, this PokĂ©mon Ombre Mini Backpack has you covered! Trainers will find a colorful collage of fan-favorite monsters from multiple eras of pocket monsters, all organized by color. Now, if only memorizing the periodic table of elements was as easy as the PokĂ© Rap.


Red Ranger Power Sword Letter Opener by Icon Heroes

Morphing mail time into something more exciting!

Whether you’re a teenager with attitude or you just teach them, this Red Ranger Power Sword Letter Opener is a detailed recreation and an awesome way to make paperwork more exciting.

And hey — once you’re finished with all that filing, you can hit up the local juice bar. Sounds like a win to us!

You don’t know the power of the dark roast.
