Clongi Compact Folding Umbrella

This is a good and well made umbrella. Unseasonable rains gave me the chance to almost immediately test it in strong wind and driving rain. The umbrella comes with a fabric sleeve to put umbrella in when not in use. The straight forward instructions are attached to the sleeve on a small card and can be easily. There is a fabric wrap that keep the umbrella closed when not in use. There is a push button on handle that opens and closes the umbrella. The action is super quick. It was a little shocking the first time I opened it. In order to completely close the umbrella, I needed to press firmly down on the top of the umbrella body.

Easy@Home Bluetooth Scale

The scale is a sleek looking high tech scale.. The scale is cleverly made and is highly functional with many features to make it so much more than just a scale. The Bluetooth features work well. The phone app for the scale is small, isn't intrusive of you privacy and it connects fast. If you have the app open when walking onto the scale, the app can take the reading from the scale, and prompts if you would like to save the reading. The app can supports multiple profiles for different users, and will track weight and BMI.

MLVOC Hammock Tree Straps

The MLVOC hammock straps are most comparable to Atlas straps in design. They are well made, durable and quality stitching. I am confident that they not fail like less expensive straps. The straps are well packaged. They are smaller (less width) than any strap I've seen. The webbing does not stretch. The loops are easy to to hook into. The length is 10 ft which is average for straps. The design is easy on tress and won't damage bark. The straps are rated for 2000 pounds which is 1000 pounds for each strap. This is the average for weight capacity for straps.This is a good alternative the the higher priced straps from larger names.

Hand Gripper Set by Shadibody

I ordered the hand gripper to improve hand strength.  This is a great set for this purpose. The set comes with a pair of wrist wraps that fit well.
They items are well packaged. The gripper set is good quality for the price. The gripper is easily adjustable, so the resistance can be increased or decreased. The ergonomic design is perfect for all ages and strengths.

VidaKai Loose Leaf Fruit/Tea Infuser Water Bottle

This is a great tea infuser.  While traveling in China we saw similar infusers on many occasions.  the infuse is unique in the fact that the infuser is in the bottom of the bottle.  Infusers that are attached to a lid stop giving an benefit as soon as you take the first suit.  The bottle is well made, easy to clean and can be put in the dishwasher.

Noise Cancelling Earbuds

Leave disposable foam earplugs behind.  This is a fantastic set of earplugs!  My wife immediately attached the carry canister to her key chain.  She uses them often.  They are close at hand and easy to use.  They are comfortable and easy to put in and take out.  I highly recommend these.  My wife even more so!

Mosquito Repellent Patch Natural Lemon Eucalyptus

These are great and easy to use patches. We are constantly using 3 or 4 methods to keep mosquitos at bay. This patch is one of the best products that we have ordered. The natural oils work better than a high concentration of DEET. We keep these in our glove box so that anytime we are out we have them handy. Great product! #mosquitorepellenet

Football baby sleeping bag - 6-18 months

This is a cute and functional sleep sack for baby. Although the bottom fabric is printed with little blue soccer balls and trophies this in no way makes it just a sleeping bag for boys. The material is soft and thick without being bulky. It will be great for warmer months when breathable fabric is extra important.

The zipper allows you to easily check or change a diaper. Snaps on the shoulders make it easy to get a baby in and out. This loses it's appeal after a child learns to undo snaps. The snaps are metal and are well fitting. This is a great alternative to blankets. This would also slow down a child that was starting to climb.

Stainless Steel Tumbler by Marky Products

I refuse to spend money on a Yeti cup. Too expensive! This tumbler does a great job of keeping things hot or cold for hours. I don't need something to remain cold for 12-24 hours. This is a 20oz cup not 30oz. 20oz is great for hot drinks too. Skip the status symbol of the big ticket cups and get one like this that functions well and is a reasonable price. The lid is plastic and fits tightly. I think that it could come open if dropped just right. If you have stronger requirements to protect your liquid, you might want to find a cup with a threaded lid.

CacheAlaska® Panel Hat

The CacheAlaska Panel Hat is a great cap. It easily adjust to the proper size and holds its size. The construction is excellent. The stitching is well done. The fabric of the hat is durable and breathable. The hat would be great for almost any activity where you want some sun protection. Comparable brands of hats are $5 - $10 more and most of those do not have a classic look like CacheAlaska. I received a discount on this product in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. I rely on reviews for just about everything I purchase. I tend to ignore the ones that just rave about a product without giving clear reasons. I pay close attention to critical reviews. Unhappy customers tend to a greater motivation to leave a review than happy customers. While they may be writing out of frustration because they had a bad experience, they will often point out valid concerns the positive reviewers will glaze over or ignore. With any review, I encourage you to read between the lines. If the review is generic and could be written for any product then ignore it. I find reviews valuable, so I strive to leave valuable reviews. If my review helped you in anyway, please take a second to click “Yes” this review helped me.

Yum Yum Fun Healthy Bars & Snacks Variety Box

The Yum Yum Fun Healthy Bars & Snacks Box is a huge hit at our house with my wife and our college student. Not only does the box have some of our favorites, there are new products that are new favorites. These snacks are perfect to grab on the go or to keep in a bag or a backpack. There would be no way to eat everything if we purchased whole boxes of each item. All products are quality, name brand items, that are delicious! #YUMYUMFUN

Live Infinity Double Outdoor Camping Hammocks

The market is filled with companies selling hammocks. The Live Infinity Double Camping Hammock performs as well as a few of my "name brand" hammocks that cost 3 to 4 times more. The hammock is well constructed. The two included carabiners are solid and the two ropes didn't have any stretch. The hammock is lightweight, strong, durable and good quality craftsmanship. It is not lightweight enough that I will be using this as my backpacking hammock. It's perfect for the back yard or camping! #liveinfinitely

Easy@Home Digital Thermometer

The Easy@Home digital thermometer arrived in a plastic case with an owner manual included. It is lightweight. The waterproof thermometer is super flexible and has a comfortable tip. The read time is good, it took about 15 seconds to read and alert me with an alarm beep to signal it is complete. The thermometer is easy to use. A large screen and and readable numbers. There is a set of colored LED lights (red, yellow and green) that allow a quick read of the temperature range. I think this is best suited for children and adults or as a rectal thermometer for infants.

Liquid Savvy's 18 oz Insulated Bottle

This is a great stainless steel wide mouth water bottle. This is the second Liquid Savvy bottle I have purchased. Family members keep asking for one! This is a great size wide mouth. I have a few expensive well known name water bottles and the mouth is huge! I have to buy after market tops to narrow the top. Liquid Savvy has made a great bottle and the extras make it versatile. Each lid gives you a different way to carry or drink from the bottle. Solid and well made. My other Liquid Savvy bottle is 32 ounces. Both are great!

This is a quality product, it is compact, the aluminum styling that you would expect from Apple.

Heat/Cut Resistant Grill & Gardening Red Gloves

My last pair of grilling gloves was good up too 500 degrees and were bulky. It was hard to do anything but grip a spatula. The Heat Hunter gloves are amazing! They are good to over 900 degrees. This allows me to do everything I want to do at the grill without pulling my hand away because it heats up. They also are a more natural fit. You can cut or perform finer motor skills more easily than the gloves you see in the As Seen on TV aisle.
These are my new go to gloves!

Easy@Home Deluxe TENS Unit Muscle Stimulator

The Easy@Home Deluxe Tens Unit works well. There are several presets and option to program your own settings. While the instructions offer basic details of operation, I would not recommend experimenting on your own without directions from a physician. The pads can be cleaned to extend their life. I you use the device long term you may need to but replacement pads. This is appears to work as well as high priced medical devices based on my experience and results.

Gear Ultimate Herb Grinder, Large 2.5 Inch 4 Piece Anodized Aluminum with Pollen Catcher and Scraper, Best Herb Crusher for Tobacco, Weed, Tea, Herbs and Spices

The Gear Ultimate Herb Grinder is a well made, solid tool to use in grinding any herb. I have used the grinder in my kitchen for dried and fresh herbs. This grinder is perfect to prepare just the herbs you will use for that meal. The grinder is easy to clean. It is thoughtfully and solidly constructed. I either rinse or or wash my grinder in the dishwasher.

CuliChef Silicone & Stainless Steel Spatula

I do not know if I have ever held a silicone and stainless steel kitchen utensil with as much heft as these tools. This is absolutely solid and well made! The large flat spatula is nicely weighted (no easily knocking it to the floor).  The tool has some flexibility but still are strong enough to stir, turn, flip or muscle whatever you are preparing.  I'm impressed with this kitchen utensil.
