The Gentlemen’s Beard Balm
Why we love it: This all natural beard balm helps your beard look good and stylish. It doubles as a skin conditioner. It smells pleasant and feels great.
Reassuring review: “I have been using the Gentlemen’s balm for a while on my beard. I love the way it smells. It’s a subtle scent, makes my beard soft, and it smooths the unruly hairs so they don’t go in all directions. This helped when my beard hit the awkward stage of growth towards the beginning. The product is all natural, which I like, it conditions my skin, and I think it even helps my beard grow faster. I don’t use much (about a half-pea sized amount), and it flattens my beard all day. There are no flakes from this product, as I’ve had other products flake and get dry. With ingredients like jojoba, sunflower, chamomile, and shea butter, this is something I feel that’s healthy for my skin and beard hair. Its bay rum scent lingers throughout most of the day and isn’t overpowering. They have a balm that is not scented, too, if that’s your preference, but this is one company that does the bay rum scent authentically. My girlfriend absolutely loves the smell and often plays with my beard when we watch movies. Would definitely recommend this to someone looking for a good beard balm.”

Armor Grip for Tumblers
Why we love it: This grip fits travel cups of any size. It’s sturdy, shockproof, and has a handle so you can hold your cup like a mug. The bottom protects it from dents.
Reassuring review: “This cup holder/protector does not disappoint. We do a lot of traveling in our RV, plus we have a boat. We have often brought this with us and it stays put whether we're riding on the road or sailing on the water. The grip is tough enough for us to hold a full cup of liquid like a beer mug, and the bottom boot is nice. It protects the bottom of the cup since we have dropped and broken numerous tumblers before. The armor grip comes in some different colors so you can mix and match the bottom part and the grip handle. The best thing is it fits in all of the cupholders because the bottom makes it incredibly sturdy. It’s a flexible material, lightweight, yet fully protects your tumbler or glass. My wife has arthritis and the grip is great for her to hold. Being both dishwasher (top rack) and microwave safe makes this really easy to clean and use. For our first purchase we got the black and orange colors, but it comes in many other colors. It makes an original gift for a friend who is often on the go.”

Soft and Cooling Sheet Set
Why we love it: Ruvanti super soft sheet set not only feels good, but looks good. These microfiber sheets are wrinkle free and also fade resistant.
Reassuring review: “I love these sheets! I ordered this sheet set because we tend to get hot at night. The microfiber allows you to stay cool and be comfortable, especially in the warmer months. It comes in both solids and prints and I have already ordered a few other colors and styles. The fitted sheet completely fits my mattress without being too tight and it does not bunch up on the top. I have a foam mattress pad on top of my mattress, and the bottom sheet even stays put over that, as it’s a pain when sheets come up from the corners. So far, these have not faded and the color has not streaked, like many of our other sheet sets we have. Our favorite part is that the sheets are so sioft that it makes us relax immediately upon going to bed and then we float smoothly off to sleep! The sheet set truly complements all my comforters and bedspreads. We have even spilled coffee on the sheets and it thankfully did not stain. I’d highly recommend this sheet set to anyone who is looking for comfortable sheets which won’t break the bank.”

Portable Folding Picnic Table
Why we love it: This portable table is lightweight, a breeze to take with you, and comes with a storage bench below. Perfect for tailgating.
Reassuring review: “I’m so glad we purchased this table. We camp a lot, and this table was an ideal addition because it is easy to pop up, super easy to move, and we love the built-in drink holders. It actually holds a decent amount of food, and it has a little storage shelf underneath. In fact, our smaller dog likes hanging out underneath there, waiting for food to drop. It comes with a tote bag so the storage is ideal and it doesn’t take up much space. We had a pool party at one point and it started raining rather rapidly, so moving this table was fast and drama free. My kids, both teens, will open this up inside and use it for their snacks and soda when they have their video game marathon! It’s beyond easy to transport, lightweight, and looks good. It takes up practically no space when we go camping and can be put away very quickly. The finish and trim on it is alloy steel, so if it’s accidentally knocked over, it’s protected. If I have any friends looking for a portable-type table for camping or whatnot, I would recommend this.”

Men’s Travel Toiletry Bag
Why we love it: This finely crafted toiletry bag is lightweight and durable. It’s made from PU leather and is water resistant. The inside also has mesh compartments for easy organization.
Reassuring review: “I purchased this handy little travel bag several months ago and it still looks brand new. It’s the perfect size, made of durable material, and does just fine - even if the bottom gets wet. This is inevitable in our travels. Even though the bag looks like it’s leather, it is actually not. It is a high quality material that really does capture the essence of leather. My husband retired last year, so this was a great gift for him, as we are now traveling around a lot more often. The bag has a couple of elastic straps inside and it’s great for fitting a disposable razor and a toothbrush. Plenty of room for all of his other toiletries, too. There are various compartments for fitting different sized items and keeping things organized. The zippers are impressively sturdy and it looks like they will hold up for a long time to come. He has the brown bag, which has a nice rugged leather look. It has been a stylish addition to his luggage. My daughter is a flight attendant and now I’m thinking about getting one for her.”
