NEWS – I have a couple of double-outlet car chargers in my car, but I’ve never seen an “extension cord” charger for a car, much less one with five outlets!  The RapidX X5 Car Charger has five USB ports, and you can use them all at once to charge everybody’s mobile devices on your car trip.

The RapidX X5 has five intelligent USB port that detects your device and deliver the fastest possible charge, up to 10.8 amps overall.  Two of the ports use intelligent recognition, reading your device then charging as fast as possible from two to 2.4 amps. The remaining three charge ports power up with two amps.  RapidX says the X5 charges up to twice the speed of most chargers.  It works with 12v-24v vehicle outlets and cigarette lighters.  The plug end has two USB ports for front seat users.  Three more ports are at the end of a 5-ft extension cord for backseat users.  The X5 is made of plastic and metal and is available in black with blue or green accents or in white with red or orange accents.  The RapidX X5 Car Charger is normally $24.95, but it is only $19.95 at the time of writing.  Order the RapidX X5 from The Grommet.

BittBoy is a better version of the original Game Boy

NEWS – This little handheld game device sure brings back a lot of fond memories of playing Castlevania and Prince of Persia. I still have my original Game Boy, but the BittBoy looks like a lot more fun than that old game player due to the color display and ability to hold lots of games on a single flash memory card. The BittBoy is smaller than Nintendo’s Game Boy, features a 2.4 inch IPS display, a micro SD card slot and it can play 99% of Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and NES games (.gbc, .gb, and .nes rom files) that you can find with some creative Googling. They are sending me one to review soon (Yay!), but you can pre-order a BittBoy for $39.99 until 12/20/18 on Bittboy.com. After that date, the price goes up to $59.99.

Make an interesting collage of photos instantly for your wall using the Modular Magnet Frame System

NEWS – I see photos of expertly decorated walls using a collage of photos and would love to recreate such designs on my wall but I’m not sure how to go about it. Who’s with me? Well, the Modular Magnetic Frame System by Magnaframe is here to help us out albeit with tiny special sized frames. You buy a set of either four frames that accommodate classic 4″ x 6″ print size photos, six frames that accommodate Polaroids, or six frames that accommodate 4″ x 4″ Instagram print sizes.  One frame of the set is screwed into the wall and has an integrated leveler and the other frames connect magnetically to it in any configuration (each frame in a set has neodymium magnets embedded into the perimeter). If you don’t like the configuration or get tired of it, you can rearrange them instantly! You can continually build onto your collage with additional frame packages. Each of the Modular Magnetic Frame System sets comes in black or white and are available from the Grommet for $49.99 per set.

You’ll always have a pair and a spare of socks with SoloSocks

NEWS – When my daughter was younger, I bought her socks from a company called LittleMissMatched.  Each set included three socks of different designs but with the same color combinations.  You could use any two of the socks for a pair of purposefully mis-matched socks.  They were really popular with girls back then, and I’m sure many mothers liked them as much as I did because it was easier when you didn’t have to worry about pairing up socks as part of laundry.

Well, now it seems two friends, Alexander Morabbi Wulsch and Adam Kuskner, got the idea that men could benefit from color-coordinated, purposefully mis-matched socks and created a line called SoloSocks.  Their sets consist of seven socks in one color combination.  The socks are made of 80% organic combed cotton, 17% polyamide, and 3% diabetes-friendly elasthane.  They have hand-linked toe seams allow for a flat seam and a comfortable fit.  They are one-size-fits U.S. men’s 7-12.

You’ll reduce waste because you’ll no longer have to throw out a sock when you lose one sock.  The packaging even converts into a set organizer for your drawer, so you’ll reduce waste there, too.  The socks are available in sets of seven in blue, navy, red, purple, or yellow combinations.  A set of seven SoloSocks is $39.95 at The Grommet.
