BYBlight 9 LED Mini Aluminum Flashlight



This is a very nice lightweight 4 pack of flashlights. The only complaint I have is that the strap can not fit around your wrist but I guess you could attach it to one of those stretchy coiled bracelet things if you had too. Great for camping, scouts, emergencies, power outages.

We really like that these are color coded so each family member knows which one is theirs. They take 3 AAA batteries each which are not included. Small and compact will fit in tackle box, purse, pocket, drawer, glove compartment, etc.


The 4 pack of BYB Super Bright Flashlights can be found on Amazon.

Solar Camping Lantern






This is an awesome product to have on hand. You just never know when you will need a light when there is no power available. This can be charged with a USB or you can let it charge with the sun.

Great for camping, fishing, hiking, emergencies, and power outages.

My girls love to use this in their rooms as a night light sometimes when they are pretending to camp.

I was very surprised by how bright the light actually is. Much better then expected.



This solar lantern can be found on Amazon. My readers can get a discount. You can purchase the lantern for $9.99 using the code JXGHI872



What the Bright Outdoors has to say about their product.

The Bright Outdoors Solar Lantern is a super versatile, super bright light that suits any outdoors activity. Solar powered, you can simply leave it to soak up the sun's rays or plug in to a USB outlet for 6-10 hours of light. 

The ingenious design creates 3 products in one: leave closed for a directional flashlight or pull open for a lantern that lights up the campsite or yard. If you need to charge your phone or other device, simply plug into the power bank (will charge the average smartphone about 50%) 2 different brightness modes let you control the battery life. And there's even an SOS flash setting for when things get rough.

Clever design gives big light (65 lumens) from a package that folds down to just 2 inches high and 3 inches wide. It easily fits in your backpack, cupboard, glove compartment or just about anywhere!

What AYL has to say about their product.

AYL LED CREE XML T6 Emergency Tactical Adjustable Focus Torch Flashlight; When Safety, Versatility and Security Matter!Does the idea of carrying a bulky flashlight turn you off?Or are you concerned about the cost of replacing flashlight batteries on a regular basis?

Don't be caught with a dead battery


My husband was super surprised by how small this jump starter was and how much it can do besides just jump starting your vehicle. From a flashlight, SOS, to charging capabilities this is a really nice piece of equipment to have.

Think about your teen or college drivers out there, we want them to be able to get home safely and having one of these in their vehicles can be a great resource for some emergencies.

I love that this is so light. The jump starters we have had in the past are huge, heavy, and bulky, plus they don't fit anywhere and just roll around the vehicle but this one can be tucked into a glove compartment, under a seat, or in some pouch at the back of your car for safe keeping when it is needed.

A Light to Lead the Way




This is a great item to have with the coming cold months ahead. During power outages it is nice to have candles but with children around a light lantern is a safer option.

Great for camping, fishing, emergencies, power outages, or just for fun for the kids to use at night. Works on 3 D batteries not included. This can be sat on a surface or hung if needed.

Hand Pruning Saw




















Finally the perfect pruner for the tree out front that the neighbors kids pretty much killed. My husband thought that the tree might just be shocked but of course it wasn't the case and we need to trim off  some more and then he wants to give it another year before we give up on it all of the way.

Candles make a great gift



One thing our family and most of our friends love are candles. Always a great gift. Scentiments Candles come in a mason jar for the homemade from the heart look. These burn for quite a while and when you are done the jar is reusable, either to make your own candles or to even use for craft items. Some people even like to drink out of mason jars so there is another use for the empty jar when done.

I really like how you can order Happy Birthday Candles, Family, and Friend Candles in different scents to fit the person it is intended for. Cute and whimsical. A gift sure to please.


You can find the Scentiments Candles on Amazon.
