I can personally vouch for these heels since I recieved them as a gift myself this past year and absolutely love them. I am normally hesitant about ordering shoes online, but these fit me perfectly and are suprisingly comfortable! The heels measure 3in high and add a great pop of color to an outfit. Not a fan of heels but like the pattern? The are also avaliable as flats, combat boots and creepers.

3D Printers
Lulzbot Mini
$1,250.00
$100 off for Black Friday Weekend
This is my personal reccomendation for a first 3D desktop printer for someone looking for minimal installation effort. When I purchased this I plugged it into the wall and into my computer and it worked flawlessly on my first print. I am a big fan of the Lulzbot brand and highly reccomend it for a gift for a first time 3D printer.
