Impressive to look at.  Colorization was slightly off-kilter, which annoyed my son (the recipient) greatly and one of the screws for the legs was stripped.  Used super glue and all is well there.  Easy to assemble.  Would have appreciated the state boundaries to be more defined/easier to see.  I think it is overpriced but it is a lovely life-time globe.

Great for irritating my cats and my son! :) Yes, I know, that's not what it was intended for, but....

I read his book.  The one thing I didn't like was on page 252 253 254 255. Mark Anthony said that wasn't his son in the picture said Your son is not On The wall or sofa your son is dead.  I'm sorry I just don't agree.  I said this on his facebook page and now I'm blocked!  Seems to me someone could of answered my concern.  Now I'm blocked.  To me it's not promoting his book signing block me. Hey!!!  We lost our son and im reading everybook available . I just didn't like or agree with what he said to Alex.  Spirts do show them self's in all kinds of ways

My son sounded like a 13yr old girl at a Taylor Swift concert when he opened this gift. The week after winter break I was asked to hide it from him before school every day. Oops.

We bought 2, and got the same item. My son was very disappointed.

Great present, but my son in law did not appreciate that I was trying to help him with a time sapping chore.

My 5-year-old got this toy as a Christmas gift this year and I'm not impressed. The most annoying thing is that the light is controlled by a large, very sensitive button right on the front of the toy.  It gets pushed very easily (especially when it's in the car with a bunch of other gifts!) and has about 6 different lighting choices each of which require a push of that button.  It kept getting turned on and I would have to push the button a zillion times to turn it off.  Additionally, the images that the kids doodle really don't show up that well.  And I know at least my son doesn't want to go sit in a dark room just to play with a toy.  I'm glad we didn't buy it ourselves or I would be seeking a refund.

My son was dissappointed that there were duplicates even though the description said otherwise.

Got this as a gift. My 22 month old son loves to press a button and dance to the music, over and over again. We've got quite a few of these battery-powered sound-and-music toys, but this has probably been his favorite for the past few months.

But as some other reviewers have noted, the software inside the toy apparently crashes pretty often. The toy will sometimes spontaneously make a grating, continuous "BRRRRRR" noise. It does this in the few minutes after someone has stopped playing with it, when it's not being touched at all. The noise frightens my son, and it happens just about every day that he plays with it, sometimes more than once a day.

The toy offers the feature of choosing one letter to trigger the phrase "That's the first letter of YOUR name." But the package doesn't include the instructions for setting that up. Buyers are directed to the maker's website, which will only tell how to do after signing up for the maker's mailing list. That's scummy, that's not what's advertized, IMHO. In the internet age, it's also kind of pointless (one of these very reviews very helpfully gives away the big secret). There's a ton of print on the bottom of the toy already; that's where those instructions belong.

A word of caution to mothers: my 10-year-old son has been playing this game quite diligently, and enjoying it, but right now he's in his room crying because it's such a frustrating game. He is usually quite good at video games, but this one requires a lot of time and is maybe not very kind. He has been trying to defeat the game, and following the instructions winning battle after battle, but also dying in between victories. He finally made it to the big final battle and won, but the game says he has to do it all over again and get a perfect score in order to pass, meaning no deaths in between.  That was too big of a let down for him, and I can understand why.  He was so excited to make it that far and win, only to be told he has to do it all over again!  How frustrating.  Anyway, he was so upset, he told me to go do a negative review on the game. :)

I ordered this stamp set as part of a gift for one of my crafting friends.  I was extremely annoyed when I went to wrap these that the stamps have been used. Obviously I cannot give these as a gift which makes me pretty mad.

I give this item 3 stars because I sent this package to a friend who lost her father. About a week later, after not getting a thank you (which is out of character for my friend) I reached out to see if she had received the package (very tacky), she said she had been wondering who sent it for days. I filled out the message that was supposed to be sent along with the package, but apparently it never got to her. I read that others had this problem in the reviews, but was hoping it had been fixed, but no it has not. She said she enjoyed the package, but it would have been nice to have my message go along with the package so I would not have to ask if she got it, which can be pretty awkward and tacky especially during such a touchy time.&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Art-of-Appreciation-Gift-Baskets-Small-With-Heartfelt-Sympathy/dp/B000YAH13A/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Art of Appreciation Gift Baskets Small With Heartfelt Sympathy</a>

Others reviews have complained about lack of stuffing, but I thought it was fine. However, I have a major problem with the fact that there were very sharp plastic pieces in his fingers and the tufts on his head. They were poking through the material and could have seriously injured a small child!! We were able to pull them out but someone not noticing them could unknowingly give the to a small child.

The ornaments are fine - pretty standard - not fancy or too heavy - BUT I now receive Bradford Exchange (snail) mail offers, catalogs, etc. at least once a week.  What a waste.  My biggest frustration is that they used my name & address for their mailing lists based on a gift purchase at Christmas.  Personally, I have no interest in their products and resent having my name used on mailing lists (now getting a lot more junk mail with the same name and address info as the order).

So again, as others have indicated, the gift arrived to the recipient without the designated verbiage to indicate that it was a birthday gift from me.  The recipient had no idea who it was from and I had to ask if it had been received.  This is inexcusable.  It's embarrassing to have to ask if an individual has received your gift and equally as embarrassing for the recipient to receive a gift and have no way to know who to thank.

Sent the wrong item, son was disappointed it wasn't the character pictured like he wanted.

At first this clock alarm was loud and did the job. After 3 weeks of daily use, however, the loud ring became an annoying (but not annoying enough) hum. It sounds more like an angry bee. Which is not going to wake up the target for my purchase--a teenage boy who tends to stay up too late doing god know what on his computer. I am now searching for an alarm clock that is remotely triggered, records an alarm with my angry voice, is encased in titanium and bolted to the foundation and wall, and virtually indestructible by a teenager who is looking for the snooze button. In fact, who invented the snooze button? because thanks a million. For nine more minutes of torture. Just get the heck out of bed, kid, ok?
