Coleman LED Quad Lantern

 

The Coleman LED Quad Lantern is considered by many outdoor enthusiasts as one of the best and most versatile lanterns for camping and outdoor use. One of the most unique and clever features of this LED lantern is how it combines an area light with four portable LED panels. You can remove any of the four LED panels and use them separately. For example, when you need a portable light for the bathroom, tent or other area around the campsite.

Each of the four LED panels is a fully functioning light equipped with six, very bright white LED lamps. Each panel has its own rechargeable NiMH battery and an independent on and off switch. The NiMH battery recharges when the removeable panel is stored (re-attached) on the lantern base, and provides up to 1 1/2 hours of light on its own until needing a recharge.

The lantern base requires eight D-cell batteries (not included), which provide an approximate run time of 75 hours for the overall quad lantern. Other features include a main on/off switch located on top of the quad lantern, a wide illumination range of 26 feet, and a limited five-year warranty.

The Coleman LED Quad Lantern base can produce a brilliant 190 lumens of bright light when all four panels are attached. The lantern base requires eight D-cell batteries which will provide up to 75 hours of continuous lighting for the overall quad lantern. The on/off switch at the top of the quad lantern will turn all four panels on and off simultaneously. All combined, the full lantern provides an impressive wide-area lighting range of 26 feet.

The Quad Lantern makes the perfect light for group camping trips or any situation where members of your party might need to head off into smaller groups or by themselves during the night.

Cedes Toothpaste Squeezer

 

They say that in the new capitalist world we live in; there is a niche market for everything. It is exactly this kind of free market economy that had produced the likes of the iPad and the more bizarrely, games like Angry Bird. It is exactly this kind of environment that had given birth to the Cedes toothpaste squeezer, the new must-have among household gadgets.

Like all things good (think Ferrari, pasta and Lamborghini), the Cedes Toothpaste Squeezer originates from Italy and is completely hand-crafted from Perspex based materials. If that is no guarantee of good quality, I don’t know what is.

In a society more often than not defined by it excessive lifestyle, where good food is thrown away and good money spent on the likes of luxury yachts and watches (not to mention aforementioned Angry Bird games), the gadget makes an admirable start in trying to reduce waste. No longer will you have to suffer guiltily because if the waste you are causing by throwing away unfinished tubes of toothpaste because you could never get to the last bits at the bottom. In fact, its usage may not be limited to the bathroom alone!

Think of the numerous tubes of tartar, chili sauce and tomato sauce that you can squeeze the life out of. Now if you could only convince yourself to cough up $300 for it.

Personal Towel Warmer

 

Do you know why I love going to certain restaurants? Sometimes it is not about the food, ambiance or service. Sometimes it is just the fact that they hand out nicely toasted warm towels that just soothe you and make you feel instantly happy.

It is weird, I know, but I have always wondered how they make their towels so nice and warm. Well, the answer has come to me in the shape of the Personal Towel Warmer. The best thing is this little device is only $79.95 so it would make a perfect little present. It’s personable and not too expensive that you would think twice before grabbing it off the shelves.

You can heat up to three towels (of average size) with the Personal Towel Warmer. All it takes is 5 minutes and you have your towels toasted to perfection. Best of all is the fact that the towels will keep warm for at least 20 minutes so you get to enjoy your warm towels for that much longer while enjoying the sensation of snuggling in something so comforting. It is small enough not to take up too much space whenever it is not in use but handy enough that you won’t keep it in storage for too long because you will want it all the time. Even though it is called the Personal Towel Warmer, you can actually use it to warm other items as well such as your blankets or bathrobes.

Just put your towel in the Personal Towel Warmer, close the lid, push the button and wait for nicely warmed towels!
