and in the morning… we’re making WAFFLES!

Make Monday mornings magnificent with Dash’s new mini waffle maker! This hot new appliance produces perfect little 4 inch waffles in seconds; an exact single serving size. It’s got a non-stick surface and it’s also cute and compact, so it won’t take up much room in your kitchen.

Don’t worry about overcooking your waffle due to life’s unpredictable distractions. Dash’s mini waffle maker displays an indicator light when your waffle is ready to be taken out, decorated in toppings and soon devoured. Even if you fail to notice the luminescence right away, this gadget turns itself off when your waver is prepared to perfection.

A recipe book and access to Dash’s growing database of recipes is included. Apple pie waffles, churro waffles, and peanut butter french toast waffles are a must try! Save money on buying toaster waffles by cooking up a mass amount of these mini waffles at once and then storing them in the freezer for another miserable morning.

Dash‘s new mini waffle maker will be the trendiest new addition to your turquoise kitchen. Other colors available when ordering through Amazon are pink, white, black, silver, and red. The Dash mini waffle maker is being offered as an add-on item for only $9.99 and being sold inclusively for $14.99 through Amazon Prime. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to make your mornings sweeter.

ChordBuddy Guitar Learning System is training wheels for your guitar

The ChordBuddy Guitar Learning System is designed to help you learn to make chords as you learn to play guitar.

The included instruction book, songbook, DVD, and two-month lesson plan guides you until you learn to make the chords on your own and you’re ready to remove the “training wheels”. The ChordBuddy Guitar Learning System is $59.99 at Sharper Image.

Travel with these disposable sheets, and you’ll never worry about cleanliness again

I’m always a little wary of hotel cleanliness, even when staying in nice, clean hotels. I do things like encase the TV remotes in ziplock baggies, and I throw the comforter in the corner as soon as I enter the room. When I used to have to travel for business and had no control over where I was booked to stay, I was even bit wary of the sheets in some places. Back in the day, I could have used some of these Beantown Bedding disposable sheet sets.

These Beantown laundry-free sheets can be used on a hotel, camp, or dorm bed, and they are sturdy enough that you can use them for days or weeks. When you change the bed or move to your next travel destination, you simply throw away these biodegradable, compostable sheets. They are made of 30% TENCEL / 70% lenzing viscose, and the bacteria-, mold-, and dust mite-resistant TENCEL makes them hypoallergenic. The description says they are a natural white color and are “chemical-free, dye-free, odor-free” – but hey, we all know that even water is a chemical, so I assume they mean free of dangerous chemicals.

A set of two pillowcases is $9.95. Sheet sets to fit cots, twin (regular or extra-long), full, queen, or king mattress start at $19.95; each set includes a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and one or two pillowcases. Order a single set or set up an auto-delivery subscription of these laundry-free sheets at the Beantown Bedding website.

Synchronos watches are custom-printed to perfectly fit you

Synchronos watches aren’t smart watches, but they are clever. They are custom 3d-printed to perfectly fit you. The Alpha watch has a premium mechanical Swiss movement (Sellita-SW210-1) and a scratch- and shatter-resistant crystal. The metal band is custom printed to your exact measurements and has a patent-pending, proprietary 3d-printed clasp mechanism.

When you order, or pre-order for some styles, an Alpha watch, you’ll first receive a scanning kit including a 3d scanner and instructions for precisely measuring your arm. (Online help is available, if needed.) Send that information in to Synchronos, and it will be used to adjust the watch printing pattern before your watch is printed.

Right now, you can order a titanium model for $1999. These are limited to a production run of 10 watches. You’ll be able to travel to the Synchronos studios (at your own expense), where engineers will do a personal fitting for you. You can pre-order the rose gold model ($749, 18k rose gold-plated 316L stainless steel, shipping in March 2018), the Onyx ($499, black ceramic-coated 316L stainless steel, shipping in April 2018), or the stainless ($399, 316L stainless steel, shipping in May 2018).

Jabra updates and expands their Elite line of wireless earbuds

This week @CES, Jabra announced their new Elite Franchise, a line of headphones and earbuds “engineered for superior sound to provide the best combined voice and music experience”. Last year, I reviewed Jabra’s Elite Sport truly wireless earbuds one of my favorite review items of 2017 and my goto headphones for EDC, travel, and working out alike. Jabra is raising the bar this year by not only releasing a next generation set of active sport earbuds but an entire line of Elite wireless headphones.

Jabra is spotlighting three of these new products: Elite 45e, Elite 65t, and Elite Active 65t. The entire Elite line is engineered for outstanding music quality, strong voice capabilities, and the ability to communicate with Alexa, Siri, and Google Now. All of the new Elite products come with a two-year warranty against dust and water ingress (two years for the Elite Active 65t also includes sweat ingress).

The Jabra Elite 65t will be available for $169.99, the Elite Active 65t will be $189.99, and the Jabra Elite 45e will be $99.99.
