NEWS – This week we are bringing you information about six different crowdfunding campaigns that are currently running on Kickstarter and Indiegogo that will be of interest to wallet fans, pet lovers, and more.
The Monk Manual Planner: A Daily System for Being + Doing
What is it?
The Monk Manual is a 90-day planner that is designed to help you focus on the important things and get things done.
Why is it cool?
I like the Monk Manual Planner because it’s a well-made notebook. I know this because they sent me an early production sample. I like that the manual combines several things into one notebook. There’s a planner, habit tracker, reflection area (think gratitude journal), and more. It’s A5-ish sized (8.3in x 5.8in) and it lays flat when it’s open. Yay!
Where can I find more info?
The Monk Manual Planner campaign ends on 11/27/18 and they have already met their funding goal of $10,000. You can pre-order a Monk Manual Planner starting at $29. After the Monk Manual Planner campaign ends, rewards are estimated to start shipping in December 2018. Visit their Kickstarter page for all the details.
POLAR SEAL heated T-Shirts
What is it?
POLAR SEAL heated T-Shirts are exactly what you guess they are, they are t-shirts that are heated to…well…keep you warm!
Why is it cool?
I like the POLAR SEAL heated T-Shirts because I’m cold natured. It doesn’t matter if it’s 100F degrees outside, I’ll probably be wearing a sweater when I’m indoors because air conditioning can make me chill. These t-shirts from POLAR SEAL come in long and short versions and in sizes for men and women. They heat up the upper back area with the touch of a button and can continue heating for up to 8hrs on a charge of a 10,000 mAh battery pack.
What to consider before pledging
A battery pack is NOT included with the t-shirt. You’re on your own to supply a USB battery pack.
Where can I find more info?
The POLAR SEAL heated T-Shirts campaign ends on 11/14/18 and they more than halfway to meeting their funding goal of $40,000. You can pre-order a POLAR SEAL heated T-Shirt starting at $89.

VAVA Mobile Pet Cam
What is it?
The VAVA Mobile Pet Cam is a like a small camera that you can control remotely.
Why is it cool?
I like the VAVA Mobile Pet Cam because unlike home security cameras, this camera is mobile. Using an app, you can roll it around your home to check in on your pets. It has 2-way audio with bark alerts, a built-in treat dispenser, and a laser pointer for cat chasing fun. It even has drop detection sensors like a Roomba robot vacuum so you won’t accidentally send it falling down stairs.
Where can I find more info?
The VAVA Mobile Pet Cam campaign ends on 11/22/18 and they are within a few $’s of meeting their funding goal of $25,000. You can pre-order a VAVA Mobile Pet Cam starting at $149.

MAKERphone
What is it?
The MAKERphone is a DIY kit that allows you to build your own working mobile phone.
Why is it cool?
I like the MAKERphone because it’s a kit that includes everything you need to build your own working mobile phone that will help you learn soldering skills and Python programming skills. You’ll even be able to play games and other basic apps.
Where can I find more info?
The MAKERphone campaign ends on 11/22/18 and they have already met their funding goal of $15,000. You can pre-order a MAKERphone starting at $94. After the MAKERphone campaign ends, rewards are estimated to start shipping in March 2019. Visit their Kickstarter page for all the details.
Wallor 2.0 wallet
What is it?
The Wallor 2.0 is a smart wallet with features that include wireless charger, RFID protection, GPS tracking, and more.
Why is it cool?
I like the Wallor 2.0 because it’s been designed with every feature you can think of that might be needed for a wallet. First of all, it holds cash and cards and the cards are protected from RFID scanners. And then it’s protected from theft or loss because you can find it anywhere in the world by it’s built-in global GPS tracker. But one of the coolest features is that the Wallor wallet can become a wireless charger for your wireless charging compatible phone. Just place the phone on top of the wallet and it will charge it.
Where can I find more info?

Trayvax OG 2.0 Multifunctional wallet
What is it?
It’s been 5 years since the Trayvax Original went live on Kickstarter. For their 5 year anniversary, they upgraded the Original to the OG 2.0. The OG 2.0 Multifunctional wallet is a new wallet from Trayvax that can hold up to 15 cards plus cash.
Why is it cool?
I like the OG 2.0 Multifunctional wallet because I know that Trayvax makes a rugged minimalist wallet that is made to stand the test of time. This new version includes some nice features like a pry bar and a security clasp that keeps the cards secure.
Where can I find more info?

NEWS – The Lofree QTV Wireless Speaker is a 5W 40mm Bluetooth 4.0 speaker designed just like a tiny retro TV. It’s a speaker. It’s an alarm clock. It’s a timer. It’s cool! This cute speaker was reviewed at CNET and according to Mr. Broida, the speaker only shows 24-hour time and the screen goes dark after a certain duration to preserve the battery, but it sounds pretty good for its size and has two customizable alarms which allow you to record a snippet of music or your voice to play when the alarm goes off. It looks like you can use the antenna to silence the alarm and the top dial to adjust the volume (when music is playing) or set the clock, alarm, or time.
