Relieve tension and sleep better with Relax Pro by Thync


If you are having trouble sleeping or you’re feeling overly anxious, trying Relax Pro by Thync could be a drug-free and fairly inexpensive way to get some relief. This device stimulates your nerves to trigger a natural mechanism inside your body which signals your autonomic nervous system to allow your mind to tell your body to relax. Sounds fantastic to me! 

You simply select a neurostimulation program to play through the app controlled Pod which you place at the back of your neck. The device itself costs $149 and you can choose to pay month by month for the neurostimulation programs and pads which are $29.oo per month, or get the 12-month plan and pay $19.00 per month.  For the diehards out there…you can spend $429 and get a lifetime subscription and enough pads for 100 sessions.  All plans come with a 30-day money back guarantee.

To dive into the details and get more information on this seemingly too-good-to-be-true gadget, visit www.thync.com.

Luke, I am your toaster


We showed you a Star Wars inspired toaster about seven years ago that burned the image of Darth Vader into the piece of toast. Cool yes, but not as cool as this toaster which is actually shaped like Darth Vader’s helmet!

The Darth Vader Toaster from Pangea Brands is a two slice toaster that is an officially licensed Star Wars product.

In addition to looking cool on its own, it makes your toast look cool too by burning the Star War’s logo into it.

The toaster is made of black plastic in the shape of Darth Vader’s iconic helmet and features a removable crumb tray, an adjustable thermostat, and a quick stop button to pop up the toast.

If you like your toast on the dark side (see what I did there?), grab yourself a Darth Vader Toaster for $39.99 from Amazon where they also sell Death Star and Stormtrooper toasters too.

Firebiner is a carabiner that can make fire


If you like multi-tasking tools, you’ll want to check out the Firebiner from Outdoor Element. The Firebiner is a stainless steel carabiner that’s available in several colors and has a titanium coating. It works like traditional carabiners to let you hook things like your keyring to your belt or bag.

The Firebiner carabiner is rated for 50 lbs, but it also has a few built-in tools that set it apart from an ordinary carabiner.

It has a couple slots that you can use to attach items, a safety blade that can be used to cut different types of cord and fishing line, a bottle opener, screwdriver tip, and a spark Wheel that can help you start a fire.

The spark wheel is made of steel which scratches against a ferro rod to create a spark. The Firebiner comes with a ferro rod already installed along with some extras.

The Firebiner is $14.95 through Outdoor Element where you can read more about it. You can also find info on The Grommet and order through Amazon.

KNOMO’s DropGo is an on the go wireless charger


I’m a big fan of wireless charging (otherwise known as Qi charging) and have been using it on and off since I began using it with a Samsung Galaxy S3 over 4 years ago. I love having a wireless charging dock on my desk at my day job and another one at home next to the bed. But now KNOMO’s DropGo lets me take one with me when I”m mobile.

The KNOMO DropGo is a self-contained inductive wireless charging system that has been designed to slide into a pocket or bag.

The DropGo is compatible with the Samsung S8, Samsung S7, Samsung S7 Edge, Samsung S6, Samsung S6 Edge and with the iPhone 7, iPhone 6S, iPhone 6 using the optional DropGo iPhone wireless charging case. Just slide the device into the DropGo to immediately start charging.

With a capacity of 4500mAh, the DropGo will provide up to 1.5 charges to your device. Once the DropGo’s internal battery has been depleted, you can top it off by plugging in a micro USB cable into the DropGo and your computer.

The DropGo wireless charging power bank is priced at $129 and the iPhone adapter case is $59.00 by itself, or you can buy it in a bundle with the DropGo charger for $145. Visit Knomo for more info.
