I found out about these a while ago, but I bought some for my sisters as Christmas presents, so I didn’t want to risk them finding out. Now that I’ve given them as gifts and they were very well received, I figured I’d share the greatness with the good people online.
These things do just what they say. It’s cool, you blow into the top of the candle just how you would to extinguish a flame, and it turns on! Then when you want to turn it off, do the same thing. It’s actually pretty satisfying to be able to turn it on or off with a quick puff of wind.
The light has a great flame-like flicker to it, and the colors are just as different and vivid as the image here shows they are. The yellow/orange looks just like a real flame and the blue is just cool. The candles are made out of something that really feels like wax. They’re a top notch product.

I just finished a coast-to-coast road trip. I started in Oregon and ended up in Florida. It was great. Along the ride, we made use of a great big road atlas not unlike this one.
Not only is this a map, but it highlights America’s top 100 adventure destinations, according to the National Geographic editors. So if you know somebody who does a lot of traveling, this could be a great gift idea for them.

This one comes to you in the middle of my cross-country trip to Florida to start my new job as a wakeboard coach! Today we saw some cool stuff, one was Meteor Crater in Arizona. It was awesome, and of course got us thinking about things in space. So that brings me to this cool telescope.
I didn’t know that telescopes came with GPS, but this thing does. Apparently it figures out where in the world it is operating, then, according to that, it will locate cool stuff in space for you to look at! That’s crazy! I’d love to see one of these in action, but it’s quite spendy, so I’ll have to luck out and meet somebody with one I suppose.
Anyway, this could be a pretty fun gift to give to somebody. Just make sure they’ll let you come over and join in on the fun.
