Spring is heating up and I’m back with my latest video. It was almost exactly a year ago that I posted a Temu haul, and I’m doing it again in 2026. A UV sensor bracelet? A rotating stapler? This is a fun collection of cheap-ish gadgets from Temu. I also have the latest F2 taste test and more Amazon deals for you, so let’s dive in!
NEW VIDEO ALERT 📽️
7 Temu Gadget Under $7
For my latest video, I’m back with another batch of inexpensive Temu finds, and this time I tested 7 products that were all under $7.
This lineup had a pretty wide range of items, including a tiny 9V battery flashlight, a UV color-changing bracelet, a pocket slingshot, a fluorescent “flame stone,” a rotating stapler, a collapsible silicone cup, and a wearable wrist projection lamp.
As with past Temu hauls I’ve done, the results were mixed. A couple of items were more useful than I expected, a couple were pretty underwhelming, and at least one had me wondering what the point was at all.
I always enjoy testing these random low-cost products because you never really know what you’re going to get. Sometimes they surprise me, sometimes they disappoint me, and sometimes they’re just strange enough to make the test worthwhile.
You can check out the full video at the link below.

DEALS 🏷️
Convertible Ottoman: 15% Off

You may recall my review of this interesting piece of furniture from a few years ago. It can convert to an ottoman, chair, recliner, and bed fairly easily. Some of those configurations are better than others, but they are all available if you need them. The current price is 15% off the usual cost, but it’s considerably less than I paid for it over 3 years ago! If you’re still on the fence, check out my review here.
Better Breader: 38% Off
In early 2025, I tested out this clever gadget that allows you to bread food quickly. The design is simple but it’s surprisingly effective. Some people noted that it was a bit small for their needs, and now they have this model which is their newer XL version. If you want to see it in action, check out my review.
Bird Feeder with AI Camera: 50% Off*
The arrival of warm weather also sees the arrival of birds, and this is a popular bird feeder which includes a camera with live streaming, auto capture, and motion detection. The sale price isn’t quite 50% according to my tracker, but it’s still about $30 cheaper than usual.
Quick Tip: Make a small backup kit for your car
One thing I thought about while testing the collapsible cup in this video is that some cheap gadgets are better as backup items than everyday tools.
A collapsible cup may not be something I’d use every day, but it could make sense in a glove box or backpack along with napkins, hand wipes, a small flashlight, a plastic fork/spoon, bandages, and a couple of zip-top bags. It doesn’t need to be fancy. The point is to have a few small things ready for those random moments when you actually need them. I still keep an old pair of sweats and shoes in my trunk in case I find myself needing to change a tire in the rain!
FREAKIN’ 2
Trying Sodas From Around the World
It was a recent trip to World Market where I found a treasure trove of brand-name sodas from the around the world with flavor combos I’ve never had before. I tested them out and ranked them over on Freakin’ 2. Strawberry Coke or Raspberry Pepsi anyone?
ON THIS DATE 🗓️
Temu Haul (2025)
One year ago this week I posted another Temu haul, in which I tried out 5 interesting gadgets. These included a wrist thermostat, sandwich maker, phone gripper, beverage divider, and ice cup. If today’s Temu haul left you wanting more, this is an ideal follow-up!
Well that’s about it for this week. I hope you enjoy watching my Temu Haul as much as I enjoyed filming it. I’ll be back with one or two new F2 videos this week and my next review in 7 days.
Until next time,
James
