If you have ever traveled with your pet in the family car you know that it can be a daunting experience. While many dogs are happy to stay put calmly in the back seat, others bounce around wrecking havoc on both the passengers and designated driver. Car rides can become a nightmare!
The Laurel Canyon Animal Company and Dr. Kim Ogden, a nationally known Intuitive Animal Communicator, worked together to create music dogs love to listen to! “Songs to Make Dogs Happy!” is the first researched musical CD, based upon 200 canine participants’ responses to what THEY would like to hear in songs! Perfect for traveling with your four legged friend!

Ready, set, throw! Who doesn’t love a good snowball fight? Now you can be the King (or Queen) of the hill with the SnoFling! This innovative snow thrower allows you to make and pitch those snowballs further without even getting your mitts wet.
Originally invented in the ‘70s, on the Johnny Carson Show, the SnoFling sold over 5,500,000 units in three winter seasons. It now has a tether so it can be hung from the wrist and used while snowboarding, skiing and snowmobiling as well as a built-in horn for signaling and for sporting events.
And let’s face it… anything that helps you get through the cold winter months and makes you laugh and play is worth its weight in snow!

Are you longing for a kinder, gentler, greener world? As the old saying goes, everything begins at home. Odds are, if you live in a North American household, the air inside is more toxic than the air outside - even if you live in the most polluted of cities. You regularly handle the filthiest object in your home - the kitchen sponge, and put the same chemicals on your face that are used in brake fluid and antifreeze.
Worried?
Learn to live a clean, healthy, more economical way with Ellen Sandbeck’s Organic Housekeeping Book. Ellen will teach you how to maintain every part of your home - from living rooms to septic tanks, kitchen floors to bathroom sinks, using safe and simple cleansers. It’s a definite must-read!

If you have ever walked an airport with your carry on suitcase trailing behind you, you know that you arm feels 6 inches longer by the time you get to your gate. Most luggage handles are poorly designed as you bend and twist in a most un-natural fashion!
Put an end to the arm and neck pain with the Travel Tow. This ergonomic rotating handle adapter provides an extremely comfortable way to pull or push your existing wheeled carry-on baggage because it actually rotates a full 360°. You can then position your hand naturally at your side. Ingenious!

Skiing is great family fun and exercise but dragging everyone’s skis and poles to and from the hill can be a challenge. Finally, someone has invented a very simple, yet very effective carrying system to solve this common problem. Hands Free and Ski actually allows skiers of all ages to carry their equipment – even the kids. Love that!
Essentially a patented system of strong durable nylon loops, Hands Free and Ski easily adjusts to all sizes of skis and poles. Versatile, you can carry your equipment in three different positions: in your hand or in one of two shoulder positions.
As an added bonus, you’ll no longer look like the family’s pack mule struggling to balance all those wayward skis and poles when you hit the slopes this year. And that’s worth a whole lot more than the $14.95 retail price tag!

Canadian coffee drinkers take note! Here’s one of the most innovative gadgets to hit our marketplace in years – the Rimroller!
You know what I’m talking about…. It’s the Tim Horton’s Roll up the Rim to Win contest. And we all know how hard it is to actually roll up those coffee cup rims with your bare fingers! The Rimroller, invented by Paul Kind, is essentially a curved clip with two hidden blades that slices the cup rim twice and an internal lip that unrolls the paper edge when it’s pulled up. Push, pull and you’re done.
So here’s the deal. Since I have brought this to your attention, should you win anything from Timmie’s, I’ll be expecting a call to share in the spoils….
