The indestructible carbon fiber wallet

I admit it, I’ve sported the big ol’ “grandpa wallet” for way too long. (Not exactly stylish, I know.) It was actually my chiropractor that first got me re-thinking my choice of wallets. Apparently sitting on that thing 8 hours/day has wreaked havoc on my lower back.

That’s why a group of engineers put their heads together to design a better wallet. The result is the Karben Wallet.

Fabricated from aerospace-grade carbon fiber, the Karben wallet is not only stylish, it’s 5X stronger than steel and feather-light. It is also ultra-compact, just slightly larger than a standard credit card and can securely hold up to 12 cards. On top of that, Karben also blocks RFID signals to prevent thieves from stealing your card info and identity.

It’s time to upgrade your wallet! (Karben makes a great gift too…)

When was the last time you backed up your photos? Think about it… These are some of the most valuable files on your computer and your phone. If any of your devices crashed today, how many irreplaceable memories would you lose?

(Like the time my daughter dropped my iPhone into the Pacific Ocean while on vacation… Every photo from our trip — plus tons more — gone forever.)

ThePhotoStick OMNI backs up all the photos and videos stored on your smartphone, tablet or computer with one touch of a button. So easy!

ThePhotoStick OMNI is a perfect gift for anyone who wants to keep their memories safe.

All-day wireless audio on the go

Unless you’ve been living in a cave, I’m sure you’ve heard people raving about their AirPods. You see people with them everywhere and they’ve quickly become the hottest must-have for iPhone owners and Apple fans.

While wireless headphones are nothing new, Apple raised the bar with compact size, sound quality, battery life, voice activated “Hey Siri” access, and now active noise cancellation with AirPods Pro.

The all-around best flashlight we’ve tested

I used to think all flashlights were pretty much the same, but the 1TAC TC1200 proved me wrong. It’s hands-down the best flashlight I’ve tested. I loved it so much I bought 3 to keep in each of our vehicles and 2 more for our house. I’ve been giving them away as gifts to every guy I know it’s a hit every time.

What makes it different? The array of advanced CREE XML2 LEDs crank out 1200 lumens with a zoomable lens. It’s machined out of aircraft grade aluminum and is lightweight, compact and waterproof. On top of that, it has a magnetic base and 5 lighting modes (high, medium, low, strobe and SOS).

Trust me, you need at least 2 of these in your life!

Rugged + Precision: Huusk Japanese knives

Whether on the trail or in the kitchen, every man knows that an exceptional blade is essential.

That’s why Huusk set out to design one of the finest and most versatile knives you can buy at an excellent value.

What makes Huusk superior? The design features a precision laser-carved index finger hole for excellent control and perfect balance. Premium stainless steel offers rugged strength and durability while preserving an extremely sharp edge for reliable performance. Painstaking effort was put into designing the perfect handle, with a shape and contour that ensures a comfortable and secure feel in your hand — even when wet.

I own several Huusk knives — one for my kitchen conquests, one lives in my glovebox, and one is an essential part of my camping gear — they’ve never let me down.

Hardens in 4 seconds, 50x stronger than glue

Let’s face it, most glues and adhesives kind of suck… They’re messy and they never seem to hold like they should. Bondic is way better than glue.

Check this out:

Bondic was invented by a dentist who was inspired by the incredibly-strong, UV-cured bonding compounds he used on the job. He teamed up with a chemical engineer and together they developed an ingenious liquid plastic “welding” compound that’s 50X stronger than glue.

You apply the liquid formula to the damaged area, shine the special UV light on it, and it hardens into rock-solid clear plastic in 4 seconds. You can use it to bond, fix, build/re-build, and even fill virtually anything. Once hardened, you can sand, shape and even paint it.

This is an awesome gift for anyone who’s into DIY, hobbies, crafts and jewelry making.

Smear-free “Carbon NanoTech” eyewear cleaner

Seriously, why is it sooo dang hard to get glasses clean? Cloths, wipes, sprays… your shirt… (you know you do it!) You just end up chasing the crud around your lenses.

Peeps cleans lenses unlike anything else.

How? By utilizing the same innovative molecular-carbon cleaning technology used by NASA on their ultra-high-definition optics.

The dual carbon microfiber cleaning pads actually trap and eliminate oil and fingerprints (instead of smearing them around like cloths and sprays).

When you’re finished cleaning, the patented case recharges the cleaning pads with new carbon molecules for the next use. (Independently lab tested for up to 500 cleanings.)

Peeps is a great gift for anyone with eyeglasses or sunglasses.

Smear-free “Carbon NanoTech” screen cleaner

I don’t know about you, but I can’t stand smudgy, finger-printy screens. It really grosses me out, especially when I think about all the germs festering there.

From the inventors of the popular Peeps eyeglass cleaner, ScreenKlean was designed to keep your screens clean and crystal clear.

ScreenKlean uses patented carbon molecular technology to safely remove dirt, oil, fingerprints and more from ALL screens. (NASA actually uses this technology on the International Space Station.)

The self-cleaning water bottle that purifies water in minutes

I keep an insulated water bottle with me pretty much wherever I go, but I have to admit I’m kind of a water snob. If my water isn’t icy-cold and fresh-tasting, I won’t drink it. (What can I say, our local Rocky Mountain water has me spoiled!)

A friend of mine turned me on to the UVBrite Bottle. It’s an insulated water bottle that purifies your water with powerful UV-C LED technology. In fact, it neutralizes up to 99.9999% of harmful bio-contaminants hiding in your water in seconds at the touch of a button. It kills bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa & microbes so you can drink from any water source in the world with total peace of mind.

I absolutely love mine and highly recommend UVBrite bottles to anyone who enjoys pure water.

The ultimate key organizer

I never really thought that keys could be sleek and sexy, but I stand corrected. KeySmart has actually pulled it off!

I hate having a big spiky wad of keys in my pocket… and I’m definitely not a fan of my keys jingling like Santa’s sleigh when I walk, so when I first saw KeySmart I knew I had to have one.

It keeps up to 14 keys compact, organized, and jingle-free. Plus, you can easily attach your car key fob too. (I’ve also discovered how well it works to keep keep my keys quiet and contained when hitting local trails for a run or a hike. It’s a game-changer!)

I think we can all agree that a big ol’ janitor-style keyring isn’t the look most people are going for. Giving KeySmart is a great way to level-up anyone’s key chain.

Diagnose car problems with your smartphone

Protect yourself from shady mechanics. If you’ve ever taken your car in because your Check Engine light came on, only to be broadsided with a long list of repairs, it’s easy to feel like you’re being taken advantage of.

FIXD was invented by a group of engineering students at Georgia Tech who were tired of feeling pushed around by auto mechanics. They developed a special wireless bluetooth sensor and a smartphone app that’s really cool — FIXD shows you what’s going on with your car, in plain English.

Their invention has transformed how millions of people worldwide take care of their vehicles. It’s like having a mechanic in the car with you at all times.

I have three FIXD — one in each of our family’s vehicles. They’re awesome! I’m not a car person, so I love the peace of mind I get from knowing what’s going on under the hood.

FIXD is a great gift for any driver.

The “7-in-1” phone charger that could save your life

The React is a phone charger for your car that’s actually a 7-in-1 safety device. It was designed by auto safety experts with features to help drivers escape their vehicle in an emergency.

In a crash, seat belts can jam, doors can get stuck, and windows won’t budge. What would you do?

For years, experts have urged drivers to carry window smashers and seat belt cutters in their vehicles, but the problem is, even if you are one of the few drivers that carry these safety devices, you probably have yours in your glove box (or worse, your trunk) — dangerously far out of reach during in an accident.

Safety devices are useless if you can’t reach them in an emergency!

What’s ingenious about React is that it works as a USB charger for your phone, so you keep it plugged into your dash — always within reach when precious seconds count.

React’s 7 life-saving and everyday features:

• Razor-sharp Seat Belt Cutter
• Steel Tip Window Breaker
• USB Quick-Charger
• Long-lasting (2200mAh) Power Bank
• Ultra-bright (140 Lumen) LED Flashlight
• Strobing Red SOS Beacon
• Long-range Safety Siren

Give the gift of driving safety.

The Inflate-R portable pump has the power to inflate car tires, bike tires, soccer balls, pool toys and more in minutes.

Inflate-R’s features:

• Pumps up to 150 PSI
• Digital Pressure Guage with auto shut-off
• Built-in 2000mAh Power Bank for charging multiple phones in case of emergency

Inflate-R makes an awesome gift for any driver or cyclist!

Protect your loved ones during roadside emergencies

A friend showed me these 1TAC Safety Discs and I think they’re super smart. Many first-responders have started carrying these LED discs because they can be seen from over 5,000 feet away, they’re waterproof, and they’re durable enough to withstand being run over by a truck and still continue to shine.

I don’t consider myself to be paranoid, but having a family has definitely made me more safety conscious… especially with four drivers in our household. I learned that over 1,000 people are killed every year in roadside accidents — just because oncoming traffic didn’t see them.

That statistic freaked me out.

I surely don’t want something like changing a flat tire to risk the life of someone I love — especially when it’s so easily avoidable!

Show them you care and give the gift of safety.

Your toothbrush is likely crawling with over 100 million germs right now. ^[ref] So disgusting! I haven’t looked at my toothbrush the same way since I read that.

According Johns Hopkins University “Proper stimulation of the LI 4 pressure point is effective in relieving headaches, pain of the eyes, toothaches, jaw pain, and pain of the limbs and bones.” [ref]

Quickly relax and relieve neck pain at home

I have to admit, when I first saw The Neck Hammock I thought “what the heck is THAT?”

But then I watched their video…

As someone who’s struggled with neck pain on and off for years, the gentle neck decompression provided by The Neck Hammock looked pretty heavenly — and reviews were good — so I bought one to try.

Neck Hammock feels awesome! The sensation is hard to describe… it kind of feels like your head is floating while your neck is gently stretched and tension is relieved. For me, a 5–10 minute session is all it takes to kill my neck pain and headaches.

If someone you know struggles with neck pain, tension, headaches or stress, get them one of these!

Portable “10-in-1” vehicle jump starter

If you’ve ever been stuck with a car that won’t start, you know just how helpless that feels. It’s a risk asking strangers to help, and even worse if no one is around.

I got stuck with a dead battery once in an off-site airport parking lot. It was close to midnight after a long flight home and there wasn’t a soul around to help. I had to call the parking lot service number and it took over an hour for them to respond. After that, I vowed that would never happen to me again.

I now carry JumpSmart in each of our family’s vehicles. JumpSmart is powerful enough to jump start nearly any engine — plus it’s a flashlight, power bank, and more so it’s a life saver in a variety of situations.

JumpSmart’s features:

• Powerful 8000 mAh Lithium-Polymer Jump Starter

JumpSmart makes a brilliant gift for any driver!
