solar_squirrel

Harnessing the power of the sun, this squirrel glows brightly when the sun goes down. But be warned—he is not of this planet. The Solar squirrel’s powers are great and he knows no mercy. Step on the flowerbed or, worse yet, eyeball his nut and he will unleash a wrath upon you not seen since biblical times.

solar-lightcup.jpg

These Lightcup drinking vessels feature a solar or dynamo-powered LED lamp fixed underneath the lid that can be used as a flashlight or a warning signal (white or red light settings) when camping, hiking, etc. It’s an interesting idea, but it would be even more helpful if it included a UV light setting to sanitize nasty river water. The dynamo version is pictured after the break.

bigfoot-garden-sculpture.jpg

There must be something cosmically special about your garden because it attracts aliens and mythical woodland creatures. Although, this particular “Bigfoot” is only 2-feet tall. But hey, a Tinyfoot is an even better photo op if you ask me. At any rate, keep that camera close at hand because the way things are going, you never know when Jesus might show up to your BBQ.

sand-goh.jpg

So you have creative vision but you lack the skills necessary to make your sand castle creations come to life—that’s where Sand Goh! comes in. The mold consists of 12 interchangeable blocks that feature four characters: a sea horse, turtle, octopus, and the Sand Goh! boy. When the molds are filled with wet sand and removed, you will be left with a 8-inch high sculpture with 3-D characters ornamenting the sides. If you want to get real creative, you can change out the molds to mix and match heads and bodies—creating your own freakish beach creature in the process.

What better way is there to cool off from the summer heat than jumping on a 13ft Big Wave Trampoline? It’s all fun and games until someone breaks an ankle, gets knocked unconscious and drowns in an inch or two of water.

firefork.jpg
Sharpening a stick and sticking a hot dog on it to cook over an outdoor fire is an old fashioned way to cook outdoors. Get yourself a Firefork and that dog will never have to touch a stick. The spring metal of the Firefork will hold onto the stick. The protective polycarbonate storage cover will even keep it clean while travelling. If keeping things sanitary in the outdoors is a requirement for you, maybe you should look into one.
