Flashlite Friends

[Get It $5]

Flashlite Friends, flashlight holders, flashlight people

How freakin fun are these things! Not only do Flashlight friends from Nite Ize personify flashlights in an uber fun way, they’re also functional. You can bend the appendages in any direction to create unique poses while positioning the angle of light exactly where you need it. 
You don’t need glasses or eyeball surgery to see at night, you just need a little help from your friends; your Flashlite Friends.  If I was 10 years younger with an incandescent light bulb head I would take these Flashlite Friends to dinner and a movie; maybe even let them spend the night! So make some new friends with a couple guys that have a very bright future.

MicroPLB GXL- how much is your life worth?

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA         Does your idea of an outdoor adventure culminate by starving, freezing, or bleeding to death? Of course not! 

Don’t take chances-take the MicroPLB-GXL personal locator beacon (PLB) from Microwave Monolithic’s Inc.

If you’re looking for a meaningful gift for an adventurer that you want to come home alive, look no further than the MicroPLB-GXL. Once “Government-Only” technology, and featured in the new Terminator Salvation movie, this gadget is finally available to the public. Microwave Monolithic’s is “dead-serious” about getting you the smallest, lightest weight, yet most powerful and reliable PLB ever made; settle for only the best when your life is at stake.

YOGA TOES- a new school of thought

[Get It $50]

Yoga Toes, how to fix your foot problems Yoga Toes by YogaPro are perfect for people with feet. 
Seriously, your feet have to carry and balance your entire body weight all day long; so what do you ever do for them? 
Yoga Toes gently stretches and relaxes cramped and stiff feet, strengthening and aligning bent toes and foot muscles while increasing circulation to leave your feet revived & rejuvenated.

When I first tried Yoga Toes, I thought "ok, these are pretty cool", but after using them only a few times I noticed that my feet felt lighter; the same great feeling you get after a massage.  I’ll never go on another hiking trip, let alone a rock climbing adventure without a pair.  If you play sports, dance, or you’re on you’re feet all day, do yourself a favor and pick up some Yoga Toes; your feet will thank you. 
Toga Toes also makes a great gift, especially for someone with a foot fetish.

*Perfect for man gift for Fathers Day!
