NEET CABLE KEEPER
$25

Handy gift idea for almost anyone

The Neet Cable Keeper is a 1.5-inch-diameter Spandex sleeve to contain the tangle of wires behind your TV or desk. The Keeper has a zipper on the side to make gathering the wires easy.

There are 12 exit points for your cables along the 4-foot length of the Keeper. A structured wire is sewn in so you can bend the Keeper and it will hold its shape.

This gift is for almost anyone who uses electronics.

LUMINAID PACKLITE 12
$22.95

An addition for the car emergency kit

The LuminAID is a small inflatable solar-powered lantern. It charges its internal battery via a small solar panel. Once charged, the lantern will run for up to 12 hours on the low-light setting and it will hold a charge for two years.

There are four brightness settings plus a flashing beacon for emergency locating. It collapses to about the size of a drink coaster for storage.

This is a perfect accessory for camping, hunting or just to keep in the house or car for emergencies.

MYCHARGE HUBPLUS PORTABLE CHARGER
