Car Trunk Organizer

 

I’ve recently begun using these lightweight caddies for clothes storage, instead of bureau drawers. I like the flexibility and being able to move things around.

The same is true for these clever collapsible canvas totes, they can be used in the back of your car for storage…or you can bring these lightweight caddies into the store and bring them out full of groceries. Save paper, make it easier! SnapBasket Trunk Caddy collapsible modular organizer and toteir?t=gc0a7 20&l=am2&o=1&a=B079STM29L.

Airplane Blindfold with a Twist

The SeatDreamzzz Sleeping Mask is a very deluxe blindfold you can use for your next airplane trip, and it combines two principals. One, if you are going to get any sleep on a plane, you’ve gotta keep your neck straight.

The Seat Dreamzzz has a strap that goes around the airplane seat’s headrest, anchoring your noggin and putting on that blindfold to allow you to fall asleep. Despite these claims, when I tested this out on a recent flight to London, it was not possible to get it to fit around the Boeing 787’s seatback, and so I couldn’t use it. Others may have a different experience but for me, it was not good. Eliminate the head-bob!?

The ORIGINAL SeatSleeper Travel Head Support Pillow –  $29.99Seatdreamzzz mask that connects to the headrest to keep your head straight.

Soul Emotion wireless earbuds

Look Ma! No Wires on my Headphones

You probably have embraced the Bluetooth headphone thing by now, right? Maybe you finally upgraded to one of the newer iPhones and found that after the 6S iPhone model, there’s no going back, Jack. Now those wired ‘RCA plug’ headphones won’t help you at all.

It’s time for a good pair of wireless earbuds, and here’s a good contender from Soul. The Emotion high performance ‘true Wireless Experience’ earbuds.. Wireless Earbuds, Soul Electronics Emotion Superior High Performance True Wireless Earphone. $49.00
