A Secret Wine Holder for Concerts

The Porto Vino is a backpack or a handbag with a little secret. That’s the concealed vinyl wine container that you can use to bring your favorite vino into any concert, club or venue you want.

While this might not be a favorite product for those in the business of selling expensive drinks at concerts, for a cheap date, it sounds just about perfect! PortoVino DayPack (Black), Backpack with 1.5 liter party pouch reservoir $29.00

The Biggest and Best Blanket

The Kammok Mountain Blanket is a very well-made giant blanket, that has a variety of uses for a camper or a traveler. On one side, a hydrophobic shell, and on the other, ultra-plush fleece, and durable snaps for days. It’s a massive 84″ x 50″. WOW!

Mountain Blanket is both incredibly soft and able to withstand the rugged outdoors. It even comes with a stuff sack that has a fleece side, making for a comfy pillow. Mountain blanket $155

A Better Way to Carry Cosmetics

The Lay n Go, is a new way of transporting all of those little tiny bottles and tubes that make up your travel cosmetic kit. It opens up to lay flat 20 inches across, and has a few elastic bars to put makeup brushes and eyeliners in.

There is a little zippered pouch for electronics too. The whole thing can hold many items and closes up with a drawstring. The company offers different models from $29-38, varying in size and compartments. Lay-n-Go Cosmo (20″) Cosmetic Bag, Black  $29

Sunglasses with Speakers

The Lucyd Loud sunglasses come with a twist. They contain Bluetooth Speakers so you can use them to listen to music or podcasts while protecting your eyes from the sun. This product is still in beta, which means you can’t buy them yet.

But the company is offering anyone who wants to test drive them with a 35% off deal on any pair from their large catalog of eyeglass frames for both prescription and sunglasses. LucydLoud glasses
