Elegear Self-inflating Sleeping Pad

Elegear recently launched the upgraded Elegear Self Inflating Sleeping Pad, a 3.1″ ultra-thick memory foam camping pad with a built-in pillow that inflates quickly in just 20 seconds. And it’s perfect for all seasons, making it a great addition to any camping or travel gear collection.

I couldn’t believe the description that when you unrolled it, it automatically inflated itself. And, I still don’t understand how it does it, but I can attest that it really does. The pad is amazingly comfortable, and while not light enough or compact enough for backpacking, it is going to be our “go-to” pad for sleepovers, car camping, etc.

It’s available now on Amazon here.

Flexispot Ergonomic Chair Pro OC14

After seeing the price of some ergonomic chairs pass the $2,000 mark, I began to wonder if I’d ever get another chair to replace the trusty old one that I’ve had for 20+ years. When I saw the FlexiSpot OC14 Pro Plus Mesh Chair, I was hopeful but doubtful that it could live up to the comfort I sought for under $600.00. With dozens of 4–1/2 star reviews, I knew it was worth a try. Read my full review here.

When human motion is detected, the H8 Pro 3K will automatically rotate to track the movement and zoom in up to four times to record the activity so homeowners are always informed and made aware of any unusual activity. Incredibly useful if a family is away from home or to ensure a delivery is never missed as the user can see, hear, and talk to any visitor via a smartphone. Usually, there are particular areas around a home, such as a front door or garage, that need extra surveillance. With the H8 Pro 3K, people can pinpoint up to twelve viewing spots via the EZVIZ App. Even if the camera has changed its monitoring angle after auto-tracking an activity, users can simply tap on the pre-set dots to help it resume its place fast.

Learn more about the H8 camera’s capabilities at the Ezviz website.

StoryPhones

Perfect gift for grandchildren who love to hear stories. There are many reasons why ONANOFF created StoryPhones. But it’s essentially because the company believe in the power of storytelling. Nothing will boost a child’s imagination like a good story. And imagination is essential to help children learn critical lifelong skills. Most kids can use the power of imagination to turn a table and a few blankets into a fort, or a towel into a superhero cape. While this kind of imaginative play might seem like an ordinary part of childhood, it is crucial for kids’ development. It nurtures abilities to develop creativity and problem-solving skills which are useful in later life as adults. For parents it is very important to give children the opportunity to grow and learn through imagination. ONANOFF believes one way in doing this is to try and lessen screentime and introduce audio instead.

With conventional soap dishes, the bar soap slides around, falls down, and slowly degrades into an icky buildup of water and germs. Everything you don’t want with the shower.

Tired of all the wrangling, we invented a way to practice safe soap.

The SoapStandle® is a sleek, innovative device that attaches directly to your soap bar to provide 360º air circulation that allows water to drain and the bar to dry.

That means the next time you take a shower, you won’t come back to a gooey puddle. Instead, you’ll find a clean, dry bar of soap that’s just as good as the first time.
