I have had several Garmin’s ( hand held and car) over the years. I just needed an upgrade and want one with Lifetime Maps & Traffic. The device arrived with a “2595LM” log. I bought I ordered an 2595LMT. I was concerned and contacted Garmin. Garmin at times seems to be the Blackberry in the Apple world, good but dedicated to being #2. Their products always seem to have an issue. Why they did not brand this as LMT on the device is beyond me.its a great upgrade from the nuvi i bought in 2006. awesome upgrades but still has the easy to use features that you love with the nuvi. Have had tomtoms and other units but have alwise hated them. GARMIN NUVI is the ultimate GPS unit and this is just another example of why not to use nothing else.

NFL Sports Football Action Figures
I bought this for my husband for christmas. He LOVED it. It is super detailed. We are now looking forward to buying more players for this collection and some for my Father-in-law. Only thing I would change is I wish it came packed in a box rather the a soft envelope.Anyway, this piece has excellent detail, which is par for the course with McFarlane’s as a whole. I dont really feel like the fun/educational categories really apply, and i wont ever take it out of the package, so durability will never be an issue. As a collectible, this is a solid piece, and looks great on my wall. ’nuff said.

Graco SnugRider Infant Car Seat Stroller Frame
We got the whole system, and it does the job well. The stroller is light and easy to open and collapse. It fits against the back of the back seat of our Vue and we bungee cord it up against the back seat to save as much space in the cargo hold as possible. The basket beneath where the infant carrier sits is huge- tons of space for stuff. The handle it tall enough for daddy to comfortably use the stroller (he’s 5′ 11″). The main con is steering, especially one handed- it’s tough. But all in all, a good product.It works very well as a travel stroller. It’s very easy to fold/unfold and install/remove the car seat. While the ride is not as smooth as the larger stroller, junior does not seem to be disturbed by any jostling. It’s very light and easy to lug around an airport.

Pyle PL53BL 5.25-Inch 200 Watt Three-Way Speakers
I just replaced my blown factory door speakers with these in my 98 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP. I was looking for something inexpensive and hoping they’d sound better than stock. I still have the factory radio installed and these speakers actually sound pretty good. I’m getting a new head unit in less than a week and I’m hoping these speakers sound even better.
If you’re someone looking for the best audio system in your car you’ll obviously spend more, but for those who need to replace their stock speakers for cheap and still want good sound, get these. Seriously these are great. The bass thumps pretty good, definitely an upgrade from most stock speakers for cars before 02.

Schwinn Turismo Swivel Single Jogger Stroller
This is a great stroller for the money. It jogs well even when the wheel is not locked and tracks very true. The only thing I don’t like is the material used for the handlebar grip, which doesn’t feel very good if you are hot and/or sweating. Also, the speaker for the MP3 hookup is useless; the speaker in my phone sounds better so I just play directly from the phone. As others mentioned, a hand brake would be nice in addition to the wheel locks since the stroller rolls so smoothly and really picks up speed as you run. If you have long steep hills to go down (which I don’t) it might be a struggle. Overall well worth the money and I would highly recommend it.

Vulli Sophie the Giraffe Teether
My son has been happily chewing on this toy since he was 4 months old. It is made of rubber material so it is easy to clean. Be warned that it squeaks (I didn’t realize that before purchasing) & therefore would probably not work well in a home with a dog.I got this for my infant son, so far he likes it. He is 3 months old tho and hasn’t started teething yet. He likes to hold it and make it squeak. The squeaker is kind of annoying cuz it sounds like the ones that you would find in a dogs chew toy. But overall it’s great and worth the money as long as my son likes it.

Seiko Men’s SKX173 Automatic Dive Urethane Strap Watch
I almost fell into the trap of purchasing one of those fancy “military grade” watches when I found this classic Seiko diver’s watch on Amazon. I wanted a rugged, no nonsense timepiece that does what it’s supposed to do and nothing else and this watch delivers. And does it look good! The shine on the case is outstanding. The crystal is even bevelled around the edge giving it that extra touch of class. This is as solid a watch as you can find at any price point, so don’t let the relatively low price fool you. And the movement of the second hand is so cool! The last time I saw the second hand move so smoothly was on a Rolex. And you do have to wear this watch at least eight hours a day or it will stop. It’s an automatic. Besides, you won’t want to take it off. If you want a manly watch, this is it.

Razor E200 Electric Scooter
This was a Santa gift for our 10 year old daughter. She wanted one really bad.
She wanted a pink one but I chose to get the scooter that held more weight because I knew her sister would want to ride it (and everyone else would want to). So glad I did and worth the extra money. It’s solid and fast. She loves it. Loves the green color with a green Razor helmet to match. She is a tiny little 10 year old at 67 lbs, but has full command over the scooter and it really zips around.So far, so good. Read many reviews on this scooter before purchasing for 11 yr old son for Christmas. Some older reviews indicate difficult to assemble. That was not our experience. It’s a quick and zippy scooter. We live in a rural area, so street or sidewalk use is not going to be applicable, but up and down the driveway in the past week has been fine. I look to see him use this much more in the summertime around the yard and when we travel to campgrounds.

Giordano Rapido Single Speed Road Bike
I bought this bike speculating on its durability and style. I liked what I saw and for the price, it was by far the best deal, even after searching the local shops and finding nothing cheaper than $200. In the end, it arrived and I loved the look. I’m inept at setting it up and didn’t have the right tools, but for 10 bucks, I got it fixed and checked for saftey at a local shop and it was good to go. I love using it in the city and have been receiving compliments left and right about it. Overall, the bike has little flaws and I’ve gotten used to the feel. It moves well too – I can go slow with ease or speed up to catch a light. Perfect city bike.

Rockport Men’s World Tour Classic Walking Shoe
Having owned Rockport shoes before, I knew my shoe size with that company. So I was fairly certain whatever I ordered in my same size would fit, and they did. But I wasn’t ready for how well they would fit. These are among the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever had. In addition, my friends have asked where I got them, since they look so classy. For the price especially, I couldn’t be more pleased. Back in the ’50s there was that advertisement for cigarettes that ran, “I’d walk a mile for a Camel.” I could walk many miles in these shoes and hardly get tired. Very highly recommended.
