Reading Focus Cards
The minute I saw these, I knew I needed them. Sometimes the small font size of books means all the text swims together for me, and I know I can’t be the only one. In the past, I’ve used ereaders and their adjustable text settings as a solution, but I really miss physical books. With cards like this, I can return to the land of physical books! Whee!

Corgi Butt Pillow

So you try and make a pillow mound to protect your back, but you can’t get it just right. Enter this back pillow which also happens to be a CORGI BUTT.
