Do you happen to have a fireplace in your home? An old school fireplace works great to keep your home and everyone in it nice, warm and cozy. The thing is, you would need some suitable place to stash away that bunch of firewood, and with the advancement in modern day technology, why not let that work to your advantage with the $249.95 Foldaway Firewood Rack? This is one firewood rack that is extremely easy to stash away, where you can fold it to just 6.5” wide for convenient storage.

This is made possible thanks to its hinged frame which will fold to 1/10th its size, allowing you to enjoy unobtrusive off-season storage in a garage or shed. The frame itself is sturdy in nature and made out of rust-proof aluminum, where it ensures that the wood within will remain 3″ above the ground so that there is no contact with any kind of ground moisture and crawling insects, a deadly double combination. The cover that comes is made out of reinforced, waterproof 600-denier nylon which will protect the wood from rain and snow, while sporting a couple of side panels that open up to provide access to wood, all the while facilitating airflow and evaporation so that there is no mold and fungus growth.

Now that hardware manufacturers have more or less figured out a way to roll out devices that are thin and svelte, looking sharp from all angles, it is about time to up the ante – and this is achieved through the waterproofing of a particular device. Pyle Audio has already ventured into this particular area, introducing the SurfSound-TALK Bluetooth waterproof speaker and handset, which so happens to be a lightweight and user-friendly Bluetooth speaker/handset.

You could say that the SurfSound-TALK is capable of delivering high end cellphone performance, except that you can be a whole lot less careless with it, since it comes in a portable, waterproof audio device. The SurfSound-TALK is able to let its users connect and stream music, in addition to receiving private phone calls with its waterproof handset. Meeting IP-47 construction standards, this makes it waterproof as well as dustproof, and there is also the inclusion of a rechargeable battery which is capable of delivering up to 8 hours of non-stop music or talk time. Apart from that, there are also convenient telephone options that enables users to answer calls with a handset or speaker phone using Bluetooth connectivity from your smartphone.

Not only that, there is also the additional feature that would enable volume control and song selection straight from the SurfSound-TALK, so that the user is able to keep their phone at a safe distance from the water – definitely a smart move, unless you too, happen to be in possession of a smartphone which is waterproof. Now that would be something, no? Apart from that, it will also play nice with all Bluetooth devices, delivering the ultimate music playing experience from other compatible devices such as MP3 players, portable media players, smartphones or tablets.

Available in blue, white or black shades, the SurfSound-TALK Bluetooth speaker and handset will cost you $64.99 a pop.

There is nothing quite like thinking back of the good old days, especially when you are a whole lot younger and life was simpler then. In fact, the summers in your day tend to be a whole lot longer, don’t you think so? Of course, on the flipside, it would also feel as though your school years were stretched pretty long as well, with each day passing by all too slowly. I am quite sure that many of us too have had fond memories of a gumball machine by the side of a road, or outside a convenience store. Why not bring home a tinge of nostalgia with the $129.99 Gumball Machine?

Needless to say, there has been variations made to the classic gumball machine as we have seen in the past, but this particular Gumball Machine intends to remain true to its calling, sporting a 7.5″ cast metal base, a large 7.5″ clear glass globe and a matching cast metal floor stand. All you need to do is provide it with gumballs of your favorite flavor, and you are good to go. Needless to say, you can also opt to settle for candy or other kinds of small treats, and you hold the power in adjusting the dispensing mechanism so that the amount of goodies dispensed can be varied. If guests whom you do not like happen to drop by but have no choice other than to welcome them in (the in-laws sound familiar to you?), why not ensure it will only accept coins?

As time goes on, the devices around us get more and more complicated. Our phones can perform hundreds of tasks, our mice want to do more than just move the cursor on the screen, and even our clocks aren’t just limited to displaying the time, and waking us up in the morning. But sometimes you don’t need all of the bells-and-whistles.

Sure, this LED Alarm Clock with USB Outlet has one extra function, but it’s a pretty useful one. Usually we have to have a special dock for our phone, or just plug it into the wall, when we want to charge it overnight. However, this simple clock gives you the opportunity to charge any USB device without tying up another outlet.

The clock is about as basic as they come. The digits are displayed in red LEDs, and you can set an alarm to get you out of bed. If the power goes out, the three AA batteries (not included) will keep it going, so that you don’t miss work in the morning. Finally, the two USB ports can be used to charge phones, tablets, and anything else you need. The $78 price does seem a bit steep, since it only adds the one function to an otherwise ordinary clock.

Zombies happen to be part of the undead “family” that does not really strike fear into the hearts of the masses, not unless they start stumbling out in a large group, that is. Of course, where you augment them with super speed just as you find in World War Z, then those are definitely a terrifying bunch to deal with. Let’s just say that should a zombie apocalypse happens one fine day, leaving you with a Walking Dead scenario, then you would do well to be proficient in hand-to-hand combat and weapons, as you would want to dispatch of these brain loving undead quietly so that you draw as little attention to you as possible.

This is where the $129.99 Ka-Bar “Zomstro” Zombie Chopper comes in handy – it has been described to be a “zombie chopping cleaver” for survivors only (but of course!), sporting a fixed blade that measures an impressive 10.25” in length, and is proudly made in the USA out of 1095 Cro-Van steel. It includes zombie green handles, stealth black handles, a backup knife a with 3.25” blade for the more delicate jobs out there, a durable nylon sheath with belt loop and accessory pouch, 9′ of zombie green paracord, and an additional handle mounting hardware, not to mention a Ka-Bar “Zombie Knives” velcro patch. I suppose someone like Daryl Dixon would be most at home with this once his crossbow goes kaput. You know what they say – better safe than sorry, and be prepared!
