Iceless Backyard Skating Rink


Backyard ice skating- it’s not just for people in Minnesota anymore! That should be the slogan. Well with the NHL’s expansion into warmer climates like Las Vegas and the South, there’s definitely more interest in playing at home. No need to head out to an ice skating rink or wait for a pond to freeze (or have Dad stand outside with a garden hose for hours before Zamboni’ing it with a broom handle and a bucket of water), skate anytime year round, anywhere with the Iceless Skating Rink. But how does it work? I’m glad you asked.

Magic. It works by magic. The magic of durable polymer panels that is. These magical panels are infused with a slick-enhancing agent which keeps them, well, slick. No need to spray anything on them to keep them slippery. You can use any standard ice skates on it. The 12 included panels interlock to form a 15′ by 23′ rink or 11.5′ by 30′ rink. Or line ’em all up into one long row to practice your speed skating. You can even use it indoors, perhaps in a garage or basement or living room if you’re cool. Also works for practicing figure skating so you can Triple Lutz all day every day 365 baby.

Bubble Dome Tents


Sleep in a bubble this Summer with a inflatable Bubble Tent. Just inflate the dome tent with the included blower and enter the dome of awesomeness. Like baking soda, it has 1001 uses. Set it up on the beach, in your yard, camping, festivals, picnics, and anywhere else outdoors. Gives you the ability to see all around you and yet be protected from the elements- no more wind, bugs, blowing sand, rain, bird poop, noise, smells. Unlike baking soda, it won’t make a volcano when you mix it with vinegar, but you could bring baking soda into the dome and then you have a total of 2002 uses between the 2.

It’s like living in a snow globe (and you could set it up in the Winter too, which is probably really cool when it snows, like a reverse snow globe). Comes in a few different sizes with room for a table or sleeping bag or bedding and has an entrance tube with a door for easy access. Imagine camping out in this tent and looking up and seeing all the stars. It’s like living in the transparent future space pod we all dreamed of.

14 Ridiculously Awesome Pool Floats You Want to Get This Summer

Summer is in full swing, and that means it’s hot outside! With those 100 degree days upon us, it’s time to hit the pool! And what’s better than relaxing poolside? Relaxing inside the pool! On a float of course. I love pool floats; they’re comfy, fun, and perfect for sunbathing on.

I’m so excited for all the summer fun that pool floats provide and I’ve made a list of my favorite 14 pool floats that you should try out this summer! If you can’t find one you love here, remember there’s lots more out there to look at! You can find pool floats anywhere and everywhere during the summer!

Watermelon Pool Float


Fruity and fun, this round pool float is a summer treat. Make sure you’re sipping on a watermelon smoothie or munching on a watermelon slice while you sit in the sun in the pool while lounging on your pool float.

Unicorn Pool Float


This float is absolutely fabulous! It’s really hard to pick an absolute favorite on this list, but if I had to pick one, it might just be this unicorn. It’s perfect for kids with an active imagination and those of you adults who just want some fab fun in your summer.

Tiger Pool Float


Another animal float, this time better suited for those with more adventurous sides. It’s cute, wild, and perfect for floating down the lazy river at the water park. Pretend you’re in the jungle, surrounded by real tigers. (Unless you’re scared of real tigers, maybe it’s better to just keep thinking of it as a lazy river.)

Pretzel Pool Float


Yum, another food float! I know I get hungry when spending an afternoon at the pool. Perhaps a good, salty, savory pretzel is in order? Someone go get me pretzel bites, those things are delicious. Ever go to the mall and get a cup of those? Sorry, I’m getting off-topic. This pool float is twisty fun.

Popsicle Pool Float


What’s better than floating in the pool? Floating in the pool while snacking on a popsicle! For the really burning hot days, popsicles are a perfect treat. Jump off your popsicle pool float and get into the water to cool off if you’re still hot. Or dump a box of popsicles on your head. That should do the trick.

Pizza Pool Float


Who doesn’t love a nice slice of pizza? It’s hot, greasy, and melts in your mouth. All that delectable cheese, pepperoni, sausage, sauce, yum yum. I’m not so sure I’d want to eat a slice of pizza in the pool, but maybe this pizza pool float will suffice.

Pineapple Pool Float


Raise your hand if you like pineapples! Sorry, my hand’s not raised. I don’t really understand the appeal of this yellow fruit, and I definitely don’t understand the people who put it on pizza, but I’m a huge fan of this pool float. It’s absolutely adorable!

Pegasus Pool Float


Pegasus vs unicorn, they’re both fictional, mythical creatures. They’re both majestic and I wish they were real, but which one is better? Well, the pegasus can fly, so it’s obviously better, right? Whatever your choice is, you have to admit that this pool float is amazing. It will automatically transport you to a fictional land.

Giraffe Pool Float


I can’t wait to jump in the pool and wrap my arms around this giraffe. It’s so lovable looking, like it just needs a great big hug. Take this lovable giraffe to the watering hole in the Savannah (or your local city pool.)

Flamingo Pool Float


This one is a classic. I see flamingo pool floats everywhere, and for good reason! They’re bright, pink, eye-catching, and they’re sure to be the talk of the pool. Your neighbors will be envious when they see you on this flamingo pool float. While you’re at it, get some flamingo lawn ornaments. Those are still popular, right?

Donut Pool Float


Mmm, there’s so much good food on this list. I mean…good pool floats. Who can resist this donut? It’s too eatable looking to be a pool float right? I’m going to go grab a donut and I’ll be right back. Someone finish inflating this float for me.

Cactus Pool Float


Be careful, you don’t want to get poked. Oh wait, it’s just a cactus pool float! Keep it away from a real cactus though, or you might be in for some trouble. Keep some duct tape on hand, you know, just in case…you don’t want to get into a prickly situation.

Banana Pool Float


Bananas are by far my favorite fruit. They’re so sweet, and as far as food aesthetics go, I think they’re pretty good-looking. Until they get too spotty though, and by the time they’re brown, it’s time for banana bread! Anyway, since I’m on the subject of bananas, take a look at this banana pool float. It’s banana slammin’ goodness.

Avocado Pool Float


Avocados are one of the healthiest foods on the planets, and unlike some other healthy foods, they actually taste great! Put them on sandwiches, burgers, salads, toast, even eat them all alone! They’re that good! And while you’re at it, eat an avocado while lounging in the sun on this avocado pool float! Are you being extra healthy if you lounge on an avocado? Do you absorb the avocado’s powers? Just kidding.

Did you see a pool float that caught your eye? Yes? Well, what are you waiting for? Go out and grab that thing and get in the pool! Get off the couch and stop reading this! It’s time to go outside, summer is calling! I hope you have a wonderful summer and lots of fun at the pool on your brand new awesome pool float.

Beach Sunshade with iPad Holder


The beach is for maximum relaxation, not for being bothered with pesky “work” like having to hold up your iPad or Kindle. Well put your well tanned arms down because this Sunshade with Tablet Holder does the work for you. The adjustable canopy not only blocks the sun’s rays (with 50+ UPF protection) but it also has a strap on the underside to hold your device. And with the shade it provides, there’s no glare so even your eyes can relax.

The days of holding a towel over your head so you can post selfies of your legs in front of the ocean or pool to Facebook or Instagram are over with this sunshade (we’re talking about the towel part- obviously you’re still going to post pictures of your legs because what’s the point if you can’t make your friends jealous of your location?).

This canopy comes with a comfy looking canvas headrest if you just want to lay out on a towel (or directly on the sand if you’re one of those types) but it can also clip onto most chairs and beach loungers. So you can not only use it by the beach but also poolside, in your yard, or on your boat. It folds flat for compact storage and it’s easy to bring down to the sand because it includes a carrying backpack (the whole thing weighs in at a sand hauling friendly 7 pounds). It even includes a pair of sand spikes in case it gets windy. So get out there and get busy relaxing.

Awesome Amphibious ATV Arrives Almost Anywhere

amphibious atv on water
When most ATV’s claim they can go over water, they’re usually talking about a shallow stream or perhaps a large puddle. This ATV really does go over the water because it basically becomes a jetski. The Amphibious ATV is the first high-speed all-terrain vehicle that can go up to 45mph on both land and sea.
amphibious atv on land
The ATV is powered by a 140hp BMW engine with rear wheel drive. Independent coil springs, 12″ diameter aluminum wheels, and 8.5″ of ground clearance let you ride over the toughest of terrain. Even water. When you enter water, engage the retraction system and boom goes the dynamite:

Up goes the wheels, rising above the waterline at an angle. The wheels take less than 5 seconds to rotate. Meanwhile, the engine power is transferred to a Gibbs jet drive for high speed water escapes (because that’s what this is made for, escaping, right?)
amphibious atv controls
The ATV can hold two riders weighing up to 350 lbs (total). It takes unleaded gas in it’s 15 gallon tank for 3 hours of water operation and 250 miles on land. Comes in choice of 5 colors too. Just $49,000, Mr. Bond.

Bubble Blowing R2-D2

bubble blowing r2d2
We made our annual pilgrimage to the International Toy Fair this year at New York City’s Javits Center and found a few cool new items for you to get a first glimpse of. As I’m sure you’re aware, with the coming Star Wars moving slated for December (that would be The Force Awakens for anyone living in a bubble), Star Wars items are projected to be hot. They always are anyway. And speaking of living in a bubble, we spotted this sweet bubble blowing R2-D2.
bubble r2
This thing is pretty substantially sized- close to 2 feet tall by our estimations. Fill it up with bubble solutions and let the good times pop. R2 put out a rapid stream of non-stop bubbles, a pretty impressive amount actually. It lights up and makes sounds too- his trademark bleeps and bloops. On his front there are a few different settings:

You can choose straight, oscillate, or random. Let’s get a reverse angle peek at that bubble blowing droid, shall we?

Like it? Well you’ll have to wait. The R2-D2 Bubble Machine is being produced by Imperial Toy (appropriately named, sort of?) and will be released sometime this Fall.
