Great Apple quality iOS device for the money. Not as slim or powerful as the pro series, but for the money, you can’t get another Apple iOS device cheaper and new.

Echo dots are a great first step into a smart connected home, especially if you already have Amazon prime and shop with amazon.

Good enough quality diffuser for the price. Don't really care for the way it attaches to the flash as it blocks the flash hinge from rotating all the way so you can always get it at the right angle. For the money though, it works.

Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G Standard Lens: Whether you're a beginner or professional, you'll love this compact, lightweight lens from Nikon. The normal angle of view captures approximately what the human eye sees, making it a great all-around lens. Plus, the f/1.8 maximum aperture is ideal for creating softly blurred backgrounds and shooting in low light.
 
Fantastic lens for the $

I've owned this lens before on another camera and it was awesome. Bought it again when I got another Nikon and it never fails to impress. Excellent quality optics for the price.

I bought an apple TV back when I used iOS devices and its been a great media streaming device ever since. I have several Chromecast through my home, but the Apple TV is always my go-to "make my dumb TV smart" streaming media player. Having an optical audio port makes all the difference with my home entertainment system compared to other streaming devices.

Picked two of these up on clearance, plus the hub that syncs multiple speakers. They have pretty good sound, though not as good of sound quality as some other I've heard or my home entertainment system. I wish there was a way to add other systems into the mix, but the variety of speakers Samsung offers and the ease of set up is great. I'll definitely pick up the other Samsung speakers that work with the system.

Great beginner macro lens for the price. Low light performance isn't as good as the 50mm 1.8 or 35mm 1.8 for the price, but still does a great job and the minimum focus distance can't be beat.

Will this lens take good macro style shots?

Will it focus up close for detailed pictures of flowers, etc?
Yes. I use this as a macro lens and with a 6" minimum focus distance, you can get 2" away from your subject for awesome macro shots.
