FOR THE ADVENTURER
From hiking a trail to a sunset picnic overlooking the ocean, it is so important to stay hydrated. Whether you are wanting to sip a smoothie or sangria, we love how Yeti helps us make sure our drinks are cold from sun up to sun down. The tumblers are double-wall insulated, which means that even if you are sitting by the bonfire and have warm hands, your drink will stay cold. The Magslider lid found on Yeti’s Ramblers make it easy to open the top but also keep your drink contained. We also love that they are dishwasher safe, because who really wants to do dishes after a day of adventure. From kids bottles to wine tumblers, Yeti has so many different options to make sure all of your beverages are transported for your day of fun.
And if you are headed out for an entire day or on a trip, Yeti has created coolers to make sure your food and drinks stay hot or cold. The Roadie Tundra is virtually indestructible as it is engineered with RockSolid Strength. It also comes with a five year warranty. It can hold 76 cans! If you are needing something smaller, we love Yeti’s Hopper Flip cooler. It comes in a range of sizes and is perfect to pack your picnic or if you are bringing a dish to the block party. We also love that Yeti has several store locations, where you can go in and figure out what size tumbler or cooler you need. Plus we loved getting tips from the Yeti team!
FOR THE FAMILY ALWAYS ON THE GO
We love to explore and even traveling just an hour or two out of town can feel like you’re fully on vacation — plus it’s a little easier to manage then packing for multiple nights. When we load up the car, or suitcase, we have found Aloha Collection to be a fantastic packing solution for us.
Aloha splash-proof bags are lightweight and easy to clean. We love that there are so many sizes and designs. In fact we do different design for each child so they knew exactly what bags are theirs. The Small pouches are perfect for snacks… we keep crackers and fruit, cheese sticks and more so the littles can get to some fuel whenever they feel hungry. In the Mid pouches we designate those for toys and books. The handful of items they each get to bring for the car ride. From stuffed animals to action figures, coloring books and reading, these are a great size to keep them busy.
For mom, the ALOHA Collection pouches are perfect to stow damp swimsuits, post-workout activewear, accident-prone toiletries, make-up, and are most commonly used as a fun clutch! We love all the designs too. It makes us feel like we’re always on vacation!
The ALOHA Collection Day Tripper is the best go-to travel tote, with it’s technical fabric, and expandable full zipper top for all our adventures… grab pouches for stocking stuffers, friend and teacher gifts!
FOR THE ARTIST
Keeping little hands busy whether you’re at a restaurant, traveling to grandma’s for the feast or just need kids to have crafts that provide independence from parents so you can attend to the cooking in the kitchen or socialize with guests, there are many ways for creativity through art activities. Every kid, and most adults, still love to color or get creative tapping into their artistic side. Let’s stick with simple, inexpensive and re-useable, three reasons we love Crayola and especially their Wixels pixelated art sets that can be a stocking stuffer of perfect travel item if going the distance to Grandma’s house to seek out Santa.
The pixel art teaches concentration and patience in a creative way. These are great to put in the bag when you go to a restaurant, travel on the plane, or just need some non-screen activities. Pick up a few and let the creativity flow!
