My mom made all my baby food herself, at least that’s what she says. While I have no real proof she did this, I also have no reason to doubt her claim. I wonder if the Peppy Perfect Puree Blender would have made it easier to make all that baby food? You just steam your veggies before tossing them in, and you can blend most fruits just as they are.

I’m picturing this Moonlight Cushion in a child’s room as a night light. The cushion is white when off and cycles through pink, purple, yellow and green. Just tap the centre of the cushion to turn it on and off.brings it to life or switches it off, so there’s no need to access the battery pack during normal use. The pillow is powered by a battery pack that sits tucked away inside a zip-up pouch. An internal, low energy LED light source illuminates the whole cushion with a gently shifting light that shifts between the various colours.

Okay…so these Smith Optics Approach Sunglasses are gadget-y at best. But I’m going to argue that sunglasses with interchangeable lenses are most certainly gadget-like, and more than that, necessary for summer. The Approach comes in 5 different frame/colour combination, and each pair comes with 2 additional sets of interchangeable lenses. You basically end up with 3 pairs of sunglasses for the price of one.

it’s a pair of hardcore, interchangeable-lens sunglasses designed for running, cycling, and paddling—just downsized and redesigned to fit the smaller (but, as someone’s wife tells him, more efficient) cranial capacity. The Approach comes with three lens tints, an adjustable nosepiece, and grippy rubber at the temples, brow, and nose to keep the glasses from slipping.

I have an old-school tire pressure gage. You know the kind, that you press into the tire valve and it shoots the gage to the number representing the pressure? It works, of course. But this Digital Pressure Gauge seems so much easier to use and read. Am I being lazy? Who cares. It’s cute, I’m getting it.

It measures pressures from 0 to 99.9 psi in increments of 0.1 psi, so can be used for cars, SUV’s, light trucks and motorcycles. It has an automatic shut-off feature to preserve batteries.

I’ve talked about drink chillers before…but not a chiller that can cool drinks as quickly as the the Cooper Cooler 1 Minute Drinks Chiller. When I saw this gizmo, I immediately thought of those impromptu get togethers or unexpected visitors. It cools cans of soda to 38 F in just one minute, and can chill a bottle of white wine to the low-50s F in less than four minutes! This chiller may just be my new best friend.

Eliminating the wait associated with trying to rapidly cool packaged beverages, this device chills drinks 90 times faster than a refrigerator, and 40 times faster than a freezer (without risk of freezing).

I don’t own a GM vehicle. I have a Dodge. I also have CAA because since I have a Dodge, I’ve never been able to get OnStar. Until now. Like the OnStar system that has been available in GM cars for 15 years, the OnStar FMV mirror links the vehicle to OnStar Advisors through a built-in cellular device. No I know we all love gadgets, but the wiring and installation of OnStar FMV requires special technical skill, so make sure you have it installed by a professional. Once you’ve got it all hooked up just push the blue button and you’ll be able to speak to an Advisor who can help you choose the right subscription. OnStar subscriptions fees start at $18.95 a month or $199 a year.

OnStar FMV (For My Vehicle) brings our powerfully simple services to a whole new audience — people whose vehicles weren’t originally equipped with OnStar.¹ Now, nearly anyone can be safely connected in ways they never thought possible, with services such as Automatic Crash Response,² Turn-by-Turn Navigation³ and Hands-Free Calling.⁴ Most important, you can talk to a real person whenever you need a hand, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
