SunFounder Arduino Robot Kit – A Cool DIY Robot for Kids
I remember myself using Arduino Uno for an LED cube project and believe me, you can do almost anything with it. When you combine this with DIY kit, even small kids can easily program interactive robots. Having said that, Sunfounder, a very well known manufacturer of STEM gadgets and DIY kits has a wide range of products that use Arduino to build crazy toys and robots. This Arduino robot kit is one of them.
This robot kit features an Arduino nano board, an ultrasonic sensor at the front (the scary looking eyes in the top) and a few servo motors. This is a DIY robotic kit which means you should build it yourself. Fret not, even a small kid could do these construct these DIY kits with ease. The robot could walk like a person, make hand movements and probably it could dance too! It is equipped with an obstacle avoidance feature as well. This programmable robot kit would be a perfect gift for a kid, who is interested in STEM-related stuff.

When it comes to anti-theft backpacks, you must have heard the name XD Design. Their first product, Bobby, started as a crowdfunding campaign and it was a huge success. I think it was over 4 years ago after which the company released newer iterations of Bobby. Today, we are having a look at their Urban backpack.
Bobby Urban is a cut-proof anti-theft bag which is suitable for men and women. Even though they are portraying it as a laptop bag, I feel it more suitable for travel. Bobby Urban is water repellant, has reflective strips to help at night, and features a hidden RFID pocket.
Even though this backpack does not feature many pockets, it can still hold around 27 liters of capacity when fully packed. The normal capacity is 22L. For safety, this gadget backpack features a steel enforced lock embedded on the straps.

If you are looking for a budget Wireless Headphones with an Active Noise Cancellation feature, this Cowin E7 is the best headphones you can get online. The best thing is, it costs just $50 and does not suck. With over 44,000 reviews on Amazon with 4.4/5 star ratings, I can definitely recommend these headphones to you. Here are some features.
Proprietary 40mm Large-aperture Drivers.
Significant noise reduction for travel, work and anywhere in between.
High-quality Built-in Microphone and NFC Technology.

But on the flip side, COWIN E7 is bulky and you may get irritated after wearing it for hours. If that is you, I would recommend you to check out MPOW H12, it is the best headphones I have tested under $50. In fact, I myself use H12 over my Audio Technica ATH SR30BT.
