Pros and cons

What we like

  • Mini punching bag, 3 inches tall, with a suction cup base
  • Two tiny gloves fit over the pointer fingers
  • Mini book of finger boxing moves and boxing trivia
  • Small enough to fit on any desk

What may bother

  • At 3 inches it is a novelty, not exercise
  • The suction cup base needs a smooth surface

Our verdict

78 / 100

A desk-sized joke that gets a laugh every time someone spots it. Give it to a coworker or boxing fan with a sense of humor. Don't use it as a serious fitness gift.

How we score

The CTG score out of 100 is the weighted average of five criteria rated for every product: proven reliability (36%), perceived value (18%), bond and memory (18%), originality (14%) and novelty (14%). Each criterion has its own published scale, identical for every product: it rates generously, because every product in our selection is already good. The score does not depend on the guide. 60 to 69: average gift. 70 to 77: good pick. 78 to 85: safe bet. 86 to 89: favorite. 90 and above: the perfect gift, a label reserved for excellent products that customers like, one winner per occasion. In a guide, the score for the recipient combines this score with the place in the ranking. The budget is an indicative range: the exact price is shown by the store at checkout.
