Hey everyone! Its that time of year again and I’m hitting the road with some really fun gift ideas. All of which are great stocking stuffers! I’ll start off with something that everyone needs or wants and that’s cell phones.
Kyocera Hydro
Did you know that 82 million cellphones are damaged because of water and moisture? Yes! Its true! But that’s not the case for the new Kyocera Hydro from Boost Mobile. It’s the first waterproof Android smartphone available without a contract. Hydro offers all of the latest Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich features of a touchscreen smartphone with the added peace of mind that waterproofing can offer. Whether you get caught in a rainstorm or drop it in a puddle, sink or toilet, Hydro has you covered. It’s “oops proof” because let’s face it: life is full of accidents. And for only $99.99 on Boost Mobile’s Android Monthly Unlimited Plan with Shrinking Payments, you can get it for as little as $40 a month without a contract! Get all the deets for yourself at Boost Mobile.
Sodastream
You more than likely have family and friends coming over for the holidays, so you want to make sure that you’ll keep their thirsts adequately handled. That’s where the new SodaStream Revolution comes in. It’s a new, innovative soda maker with breakthroughs in both function and design. The Revolution is the first electrically powered soda maker for SodaStream, and offers many new features, like:
“Touch-button” activation providing a choice of carbonation levels (low, medium, high, turbo)
“Snap-n-lock” mechanism for easy bottle insertion and removal
LED display indicating carbonation progress and CO2 usage status
“The Revolution takes home soda making to the next level, and consumers will love the new features and the improved user experience,” stated Daniel Birnbaum, CEO of SodaStream. “With these patent-pending, technological advances our users will be empowered to make their own soda faster and more efficiently than ever before. The bottle simply clicks into place and carbonates at the single push of a button, offering a consistent level of fizz each time.”
Your family will love this because you’re not hauling bottles and cans from the store to your home to the trash. The environment will love it too! Plus, most of all, its fun making your own sodas! Get your very own Sodastream Revolution.

Just when you thought it was safe to send that picture… Snapchat, the 9th most popular app on Apple’s App store, has just admitted there’s a problem. Well, a problem if you’re worried about your picture really not being deleted as promised by the app. A Utah forensics company has found a flaw in the picture/video app.
You’ve heard the saying “Change the clocks, Change the batteries.” It’s important. Think about it, every time firefighters answer a call, they put their lives on the line. The risk increases if they have to enter a burning home to rescue those inside who did not have enough time to escape. Affirm your commitment to the firefighting community… take the Be A Hero, Save A Hero Pledge and promise to make home fire safety a priority. Kidde will make a donation to National Fallen Firefighters Foundation and Help the Good Guys, organizations that are dedicated to helping the families of injured and fallen firefighters, on behalf of every person who takes the pledge and share it on social media.

Did you know you should change your fridge’s water filter ever six months? YES! I’s true! You need to have great tasting water. The GE replacement water filter model MWF does more than make water smell and taste better by removing chlorine taste and odor. It also reduces waterborne contaminants such as mercury, lead and select herbicides and pesticides. Its compact design allows for easy, tool-free installation and removal. This refrigerator filter is eligible for GE’s SmartOrder replenishment program, which allows consumers to set up automatic reorders so they receive water filters every six months without having to physically go to a store or go online to purchase one. They’ve got a great deal going on right now too. Go to
