So, you probably don’t want to spend the cash on a trendy Fjallraven Kanken backpack for your girl friend or sister (or maybe you do; in which case I’ll drop a link to the backpacks here). Why not get her a cool branded Fjallraven Kanken key ring instead?

The key rings, as well as the backpacks, come in tons of colors, so you’ll definitely find the perfect one for your girl friend or sister. Plus, Fjallraven products are all literally built with the traveler in mind. The whole Fjallraven clothing and practical accessory brand revolves around the outdoors, hiking and adventuring.

What’s remarkably surprising about this moon lamp is its decoration versatility. It would look good in an earthly, modest, minimalist home, and, at the same time, it would also suit the edgy TikToker friend whose bedroom is lit up with LED lights.

The moon lamp is wireless, USB rechargeable and has touch control brightness levels.

5. Portable French Press Coffee and Tea Maker
