Me and my husband are survivalists and somewhat obsessed with collecting multi-functional knives. Survival Hax came out with an awesome knife that is absolutely perfect to carry around for everyday use!
The Survival Hax foldin knife is made of strong titanum steel with a durable black plastic handle. It is 4.5" folded and flips out to a total length of 7.5" . The blade is partially serrated and is large enough to cut through small tree branches while still being small enough to be agile. The blade is 1" wide with a thickness of 1/10" and a hardness of 58 HRC. The handle is titanium coated and can easily break glass if you were ever in that situation. A handy belt clip and bottle opener is on the side of the case to easily carry for an EDC (Every Day Carry) knife.
A handy 1/4 hex drive flips out the opposite end that you can easily insert the included screwdriver tips into. On one side is two sizes of flathead bits, the other side has two sizes of phillips tips to cover your everyday needs. The bits are held in the slots securely with magnetic strips. This knife is very easy to use and can easily fit in your pocket or clipped on your pocket without taking much room up at all. I absolutely love this knife and all the different functions! This really is a high quality, very useful knife that would make a perfect gift for anybody!

As I'm currently 6 months pregnant, I'm starting to stock up on baby gear. Lately, I've become obsessed with pacifier clips! They come in so many different cute designs, but these pacifier clips from Turtles are so absolutely adorable!!
The Turtles pacifier clips set has three clips and includes a bonus gift of a pacifier case! The clips are absolutely adorable with a different design on each side. There's a blue diamond/ red owl, green with stars/ colored owls, and black n white cat/ white n black cat designs. The clips are nickel-free metal with plastic alligator teeth to prevent tearing of clothing and lock on very securely. The loops are cloth and can accommodate any pacifier size, however they are not elastic. They can easily hold a blanket or small toy as well!
The included gift of a pacifier case can easily hold two pacifiers along with the clips and closes airtight to help keep them sanitary. The case easily attaches onto a stroller or carrier handle to keep pacifiers within easy reach. I absolutely love how cute the designs are on the clips and I love the included pacifier holder case! They're going to really make my life easier with the new baby! If you'd like some adorable clips, you can get some here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B015UEX1RO #TurtlusPacifierClip

When we go on car trips, I always use one of our phones for maps to help us easily find the best route. Usually, I end up just holding the phone or setting it on the dash where it tends to slide around since I usually let my husband drive. I was thrilled to try out this long arm car mount by Liansing!
The Liansing Universal car mount came in a small box that is perfect for gifting. It consists of two pieces that you need to put together. To install, you simply unscrew a round gear on the base of the clip and place the ball of the arm inside ans then tighten. The arm is very flexible and can really be adjusted to absolutely any angle you may desire. The suction cup has a pressure lever on it and is really strong. It held my phone with no problem for a long 3 hour car trip without moving at all. The clamps were very strong and rubberized on the corners so it didn't damage my phone at all. I have a Moto G phone with a thick case on it and it fit perfectly in the grips. The swivel ball on the grip helped me move my phone around to even more angles. I was always able to have my phone perfectly positioned for the whole trip and was able to easily re-adjust it whenever I needed to. I absolutely love this mount! I'm never taking a long trip without it!

My family absolutely loves camping! We usually go quite a few times a year and have just about every gadget and gizmo you can think of for tent camping. However, one thing we didn't have was a hammock!
Rallt makes a wonderful ultralight hammock that is perfect for camping, hiking or just lounging in your backyard. Everything you need to get set up is included right in the package- the hammock, carabiners and rope. The whole setup weighs less than a pound and packs up into a tiny 6" x 6" x 4" package that will easily fit in a backpack or among other camping gear without taking up too much room at all. The 6mm polypropylene rope does not stretch and each rope measures 10' so you can string up between trees up to 20 feet away from each other! The hammock itself is 9' long and 4'7" wide and made of a strong 210 nylon fabric that is tear-resistant and can hold up to 400 pounds!This hammock guarantees that you won't end up on the ground in the middle of the night! The hammock folds up into a little pouch that is sewn onto the hammock itself.
Installing the hammock was very easy and we had it done within 5 minutes. We simply looped a rope around a tree and tied it to the carabiner with a square knot. Then we repeated on the other side, and it was completely set up. My six year old son just couldn't wait to climb into it and it was near impossible to get him out of it! The hammock is very comfortable and feels very secure. When it came time to putting it away, it was very easy to roll back up and stuff into the attached pouch on the hammock! This hammock was super easy to setup and take down, me and my family absolutely love it!

My family loves to go camping. A true must have item is a lantern, otherwise you're outta luck after dark! The LED lantern by Vodiy covers all of our basic needs and is safer than our other kerosene lanterns. I have a six year old son and he's forbidden from touching our glass-domed kerosene lanterns. However, this lantern seems completely safe for him to use- even unsupervised! Made of a durable military grade materials, the triple sealed base makes it rain, moisture and condensation proof. The rubberized coating on the top and bottom is meant to withstand even the most drastic of dropping. There's even a removable outer globe that is of a soft plastic type material guaranteed not to break. The lantern is very small and easy to use with a convenient carrying handle as well. Overall, this lantern is very safe for kids to use by themselves and can withstand habitual clumsiness.
The lantern also has six lighting modes to suit all your different needs. There's 4 white light modes- high, med, low and SOS flashing. Then there's also two red light modes- red light still and flashing. Each can be cycled through by pressing the lit green button. To turn off, you just press and hold the button for 2 seconds. The lantern runs off of 3 D batteries and can last up to 6 days of solid lighting.
I absolutely love this lantern and my six year old has officially made it "his". I feel completely safe letting him run around on his own with this lantern! There's no risk of broken glass or getting burned!! If you'd like to get one for yourself, they're available here- http://vodiystore.com/collections/frontpage/products/fonuslight-led-lantern #VODIY

As I'm expecting my second lil boy in just a few months, I'm starting to really look into slings and carriers. The Mamaway Baby Sling exceeded my expectations in what I was looking for in a sling! Baby slings are a very widely encouraged way to keep your baby close to you. They have so many benefits, it's hard to list them all! They help reduce crying by being more comfortable for babies than the traditional carriers and they develop a sense of security and trust by being closer to you. They also promote learning by letting the baby view all your activities and learning from you rather than staring at a ceiling or wall from a crib or stroller. Baby slings are also ideal for breastfeeding by improving their posture and frequency of breastfeeding while still staying discreet. Wearing a baby in a sling will also ease the strain on your back!
The Mamaway baby sling came in a nice pewter gray color with pink stitching. It is very well made from 100% Pima cotton and is of a very sturdy and durable material. The stitching is very tightly done and overall, the whole thing is very sturdy and high quality! The sling is breathable, allergy-free, and soft enough to not irritate your baby's sensitive skin. The rings are made of a plastic like material and are smooth to the touch in case the lil one decides to teeth or play with them.
Putting the sling on can take a little bit of practice but it's pretty easy once you figure it out. You basically set the ring over one shoulder, loop around behind your back and then around over your belly to thread through the loops. There's several different ways you can position the baby, mainly depends on size, activity and preference. I absolutely love this baby sling, and I'm super excited about using it soon! I love the color and the style of it! They also have a ton of other different colors too! If you'd like a high quality baby sling, you can get one here: http://www.amztk.com/ring-sling #Mamaway

I was recently introduced to Akeekah baby product by trying out some of their bandana bibs. The bibs were of absolutely great quality and so adorable! The quality of these pacifier clips definitely met my expectations, and I'm definitely an Akeekah fan now! The pacifier clips some in a 4 pack and have double sided designs perfect for either gender. There's a black n white polka dot with black n white chevrons on the other side, an orange polka dot with green chevrons on the other side, a red white n blue geometric design with red zig zags on the revers and a rainbow polka dot with rainbow zig zags on the other side. I absolutely love all the designs and look forward to pairing them with the perfect outfits! The material is 100% polyester, grosgrain ribbon with top notch stitching, resulting in maximum strength and color richness. They're very sturdy and can definitely stand up to a lot of handling from the little one.
The clip is very durable and secure to use without damaging clothing. It's made of a plastic material that is safer than metal if they decide to mouth it. You can attach these handy clips basically anywhere- on clothing, strollers, blankets, carriers, or even on you! To attach the clip, you have to pull up a lever to open the alligator mouth. Once they're on something, they're there to stay and it takes quite a bit of effort to pull it off. I found that if you double the elastic loop around the pacifier, it stays on much more secure, otherwise it's too loose. But if you double it, it's there to stay and is on very tight and secure. I actually think that's a good option since you can make the loop fit pretty much any pacifier shape or size out there!
Overall, these clips surpassed my expectations and I'm a true Akeekah fan now! They really do have top quality baby products! If you'd like a high quality adorable pacifier clip set, you can get these here: http://www.amztk.com/akeekahpacifierclips #akeekahbaby

I just got my first microfiber towel a few weeks ago, and absolutely fell in love with it! This is my third microfiber towel, and let me say, I've fallen in love all over again! I think this one may be my favorite one!
The Globe Trot microfiber towel is incredibly soft! I absolutely love the color scheme of a charcoal grey with vibrant blue stitching around the edges. The stitching is very tight and well done and i don't see it coming undone over even the most rigorous of use. This towel is very large, it measures 57" x 27" and seems even larger than an average bath towel. I absolutely love that it can give me the full coverage I need. There's nothing worse than a too small towel!
The towel also comes in a neat little 5" x 7" storage bag that has a mesh side to help keep it dry if you put it up slightly damp. The pouch is nice and compact and can easily fit in a gym bag or purse without taking up much room at all. It's actually quite easy to fold back up into the tiny little pouch. This towel dries super fast! I tried it out after a shower and it was barely wet. I hung dry it for about 30 minutes and it seemed completely dry. I absolutely love this towel! It's the largest one I have, yet it folds up into the most compact little package! This towel is absolutely perfect for the gym, camping or even just everyday use! If you'd like a sharp looking microfiber towel that's also compact, you can get one here: http://www.amazon.com/Globe-Microfiber-Travel-Towel/dp/B018HL4ZUY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453921821&sr=8-1&keywords=microfiber+towel+B018HL4ZUY #TravelTowel

In this cold weather, my husband likes to take a big cup of coffee to work with him to sip on in the shop. One of his common complaints is that his current bottle is too small and he has to drink coffee out of a straw unless he takes the lid off. He works with granite, and there's a lot of rock dust floating around so he prefers to keep the lid on.
Royal Flask makes an awesome 30 oz flask that is sure to please my husband! Way larger than the average 24 oz tumbler, this king sized flask will keep him sipping coffee all day long! Made of stainless steel, this tumbler won't leak, spill or rust ever! It has double walled insulation to keep hot drinks hot for 12 hours and cold drinks cold for up to 24 hours as well as keeping the tumbler from sweating. One of my pet peeves is that a lot of bottles have weird nooks and crannies that are near impossible to clean. This results in a funky smell after a while that I just can't ever get rid of. This Royal Flask tumbler is remarkably easy to clean and I haven't noticed any funky odors whatsoever.
The lid is vacuum sealed and has a handy sipping spout, so no more drinking coffee out of a straw for my husband! He can definitely feel a little manlier drinking out of this one! The lid is also dishwasher safe, but not too sure if the tumbler itself is. It's so easy to clean that it really doesn't matter to me though. My husband absolutely LOVES this tumbler and it's the only one he'll take to work now!

I have a huge storage problem! There's tubs of clothes that my son has grown out of, but I need to save them since I'm currently pregnant with my second lil boy. Then me and my husband both have clothes that don't quite fit, but we can't seem to get rid of them no matter how many times we go through them. And of course I have a bunch of extra blankets that we keep for the colder times. We've had a pretty mild winter here in Texas, so I never really had to drag out the heavy blankets. They just take up a lot of room in the closet and laundry room. A wonderful storage solution is vacuum storage bags!
Mr Stimer makes a wondorously easy vacuum storage bag set. There's three vacuum seal storage bags in each set. They each measure 24"x32" and are plenty big enough to fit a large comforter, pillows, a ton of clothes or pretty much anything else in them. The bags are made of 70 micron thick high quality hypoallergenic plastic that also helps to prevent mold, mildew and bacteria from entering the bags. They'll keep whatever you put in them fresh, clean and sterile.
The vacuum storage bags are so easy to use! I put one of my large comforters in one. It fit in very easily without having to cram it in there. I used a handy little tool that came with the bag to help seal the ziplock end. Then, I simply unscrewed the round cap, sucked all the air out with my regular house vacuum and screwed the cap back on. The round seal part has a stopper that only allows air to flow in not out, so no air went gushing in when i removed my vacuum hose. It only took about 10 seconds for my vacuum to suck all the air out and it was strangely satisfying watching my blanket shrink before my eyes. My blanket went from being about 6 inches thick to less than three! It was incredibly compact! I can very easily store this blanket on a shelf or under my bed without it taking up much room at all. I'm going to have to get more of these and go on a spring cleaning spree!! I love these! These would also be great to use to save space when traveling too!
