Engine failures and flat tires happen all the time. Of course we all hope we are not in that category but I’ve been on the side of the road in the past with a flat. Thankfully for me, it was daytime and not a very busy street. Being stuck on the side of the road is hazardous enough but the chances of a tragic roadside accident happening during the night is a lot higher and especially with these shorter winter days. You can protect yourself, your family, and your vehicle with the SofAlert Road Safety Kit.

We’ve all looked through a peephole before and I think it’s safe to say that the image we see is far from clear. Is the person behind the door really the pizza delivery guy? You can never be too safe, especially if you live in a neighborhood known for home invasions and other types of crime. The Brinno Digital PeepHole Viewer is able to turn your ordinary peephole into a proper identifying tool to help you see the person on the other side of the door.

Marshmallows are a fun and delicious treat not only for kids but adults as well. We all love marshmallows in a nice hot chocolate drink, in desserts, and of course in s’mores and over the camp fires. I’ve seen some colorful marshmallows but what about custom ones with photos of your choice printed on them? Boomf will print your photos on delicious marshmallows and ship them to you for free. The shipping is free, not the custom marshmallows.

Winter is not quite here yet but it sure feels like it in some parts of the country. I moved a few into a new apartment a few months back and although it’s considered an upgrade in terms of style, design, and age but there is one downside to the new place. No more free heating! My electric bill will certainly be feeling the pain soon enough. Each room including the washrooms has an individual thermostat for controlling the heat but I’m thinking of skipping the built-in heating and going for a space heater. Space heaters are very common and pretty boring looking but the Stadler Form MAX Fan Heater at least has the design element down.

One of the guys at work was taking out the trash the other day and one of the massive garbage bags was that full of nothing but coffee pods. It got me thinking about how terrible we are to the environment and the earth. Now, imagine the plastic bottles that make it to the landfills instead of recycling plants? A lot of cities across North America are starting to take action but there is always something more we can do as a community. Boycotting big companies like Nestle would be ideal but you need large numbers of people to take action. Instead, perhaps start with what you and your family & friends can do. The WELLY Water Bottle is a great example.

Christmas is right around the corner and you know what that means? Yep, the bank accounts start to deplete but the gifts whether for yourself, family, or friends will be plentiful. There are literally hundreds of gift options that will come to mind if you start making a list but nobody has time for making long lists so we’re going to help you out and suggest Top Five Things A Techie Should Own. Don’t worry, you don’t have to be a techie to want these. Just about every guy and girl will want the following items under their Christmas tree.

I’m not proud to say it but I have a mild addiction to soda-pop. Sugary water with artificial flavors is not all that great tasting but throw carbonation into the mix and now we’re onto something great. RC Cola, Jones Soda (cream soda), or an ice cold Pepsi are always on standby mode in the refrigerator on a hot summer day. Grab a Snickers chocolate bar to go with it and you have the perfect duo. Many of you have may have heard about SodaSteam which allows you to make carbonated beverages at home. Now Keurig, master of the single-serve coffee pods, is giving single serve sodas a try with their Keurig Kold.

I’m not yet a father but I have plenty of experience when it comes taking care of kids. I got plenty of young cousins and a handful of nephews and nieces. As convenient as a stroller is, they can also be pretty bulky depending on which age the stroller is intended for. The Quinny Longboard Stroller is a new take on the traditional stroller and the perfect solution for traveling long distances. The all-new longboard stroller is just as comfortable as a normal stroller but it also ads the element of longboarding so you can actually travel further and enjoy the sights and sounds of your city.
