Bring Your Own Mist with this Backpack and Tank

Hiking in extremely hot conditions is a breeze with the Extremist 2 in 1 mister and tank that provides you with mist in your face or in your tent as you hike!

Compact, lightweight, hands-free and professional-grade, the ExtremeMist PCS creates a continuous cooling cloud of fine mist in front of you, reducing the air temperature up to 30°F. ExtremeMist Personal Cooling System provides 2-in-1 hydration to keep you cool when it’s hot out, allowing you to mist and drink from the same reservoir.

Its high-pressure pump has multiple speeds controlled via wireless remote. On the lower speeds, recommended for hiking, running, and cycling, the PCS uses approximately 1 ¾ to 2 ½ cups per continuous-use hour (leaving you plenty of drinking water), with the battery lasting up to 16 hours of use.

A Blanket for a French Bulldog and Football Fan

For the French Bulldog lover in your life–how about a cozy blanket with sports and of course, French Bulldogs?

Sherpa Fleece is an animal-friendly alternative without compromising the superior quality, comfort and feel. Frenchie fleece blanket BLN GAM $69.00

Stretch Your Favorite Shoes to Fit You Right

I’ve discovered that at a certain age, our feet begin to get bigger. I own many pairs of nice-looking dress shoes that I haven’t been able to fit on my feet and now, voila, they’re all coming back out again. The shoe stretcher is like a pair of shoe horses, but they have a clever little screw so you can push them to stretch.

So far this device has proved to be a valuable asset and has brought back many pairs, both sneakers and leather dress shoes.

Just being able to get one pair to fit better makes this a worthy gift for anyone!

You’re Still Wiping with Paper? Join the Cleaner People with Tushy!

I have always been impressed with how well bidets work to clean up after you use the toilet. I have enjoyed them across the finest hotels in Europe, and on a Japan Airlines Dreamliner headed to Tokyo. Almost every bathroom in Japan has a bidet, and now you can too. The Tushy is a home model, very easy to install and does the same job, using water instead of paper for your after toilet clean up.

It took me ten minutes to unscrew the toilet set and hook the water to the unit then screw the toilet seat back on. SCORE! This is a simple plastic device that really works–if you want hot water you’ll need to spend a whole lot more. But if you want something simple, the Tushy is a good solution to a common problem. TUSHY Classic Bidet Toilet Attachment –$79

Lava Linens: Flax to Linen, the Perfect Material

The Lava Mini linen travel towel rolls to the size of a 12oz glass so it fits perfectly into a small pack. It is also quick to dry and is naturally mildew and mold resistant. These are more expensive than most towels, but they are hand-sewn in Colorado, by Americans, and they are made of a material that’s naturally antimicrobial and odor resistant. This linen is sourced from a longstanding company in France recognized for its craftsmanship and industrial excellence.

With a luxurious feel and a denser weave than all other linen towels on the market, your Lava Mini will become your favorite travel companion for years to come.

You’ll likely find it hard to part with between adventures. That’s okay. It doubles as an excellent in-home hand towel too. Lava Mini 22.5 x 23 $42
