If you haven’t listened in to the annual gift guide podcast episode or viewed the products, I will outline a few more additional “fun finds” for the holidays and 2025. Enjoy!
Get the Mozy
Never freeze at an outside event again. Not with this blanket in you get the Mozy
What I like
I really like the opportunity to have a blanket with functionality of walking in it, storing items in it, and bringing to outdoor camping or even sporting events.
What I love
It is not a blanket only, but a product with patented warmth technology and offers a water repellent (moisture repellent) for outside elements too. So it can be used even when the weather isn’t the best with potentially wet seats or of course with chilly weather. This allows you to still be comfortable and warm and remain relatively dry too.
What else to know
I am not sure you will bring this in to stadium or even if it will be permissible. But remember there is tailgating pre and post-game, there are also other sporting events such as your son’s flag football or soccer matches and for all those this may an excellent option.
Coalatree Trailhead Pants
already put these to good use
As a traveler, we also search for the best gear and that includes outfits and people continue to make products for our needs such as a great pair of adventure or traveling pants like these Trailhead Pants.
What I like
The design. Three things you want in pants for any trail or hike – water resistant, stain proof, and stink proof. Allows you to wear more and wash less (or put in laundry bag less). Plus the design also offers deep pockets to carry more too.
What I love
They are multi-purpose. They are not just for heading out on the trails for hiking, camping or being out in nature, but also a great option to wear for long overnight flights as they are comfortable too. The structure, style and flexibility are there. These Coalatree pants make for a great pair of pants, especially when packing light.
What Else to Know
The bottom (ankle) ties, while great for being outdoors with the option to adjust the length of the pants, they do need to be addresses when going for style. It may limit your options on footwear style than adventure or comfort, but that is always your choice.
ICEBREAKER Nordic
Welcome to a new ice cube tray you may want to add to your freezer. The benefits are clearly noticeable.
What I like?
I like the size. The size of the cubes and the size of the tray. This ICEBREAKER Nordic ice cube maker takes up little room in the freezer and the smaller ice cubes can fit in many of my water bottles. Plus, the small squares do look nice inside my cocktails too.
What I love?
I love that after filling it up with my filtered Berkey water, I can close it up and take it to the freezer without spillage. Yes, the closed element takes away spilling water when we are making ice cubes.
What to Know?
The process of opening up the cubes is easy, but sometimes I found the cubes still staying together. If they don’t become the single squares it is a challenge to get them out of the container. Best suggestion once open is to remove all cubes and then refill to refreeze.
NatPat Bug Repellent Stickers
wearing a sticker on this shirt (under beer)
None of us want to be bit by pesky insects when outdoors. Why use a spray if we can get away with just a simple sticker.
What I like.
These are fun. The sticker is a simple design and the product is kid friendly. NatPat stickers come in many styles and multiple options too.
What I love
Simple use and a conversation piece. People were intrigued with what they thought was a cartoon character – even thought it was just an emoji styled sticker. The design and ease of use, make this product also easy to pack, no spillage of a bottle and easy to just keep with your gear, backpack or simple toiletry bag.
What to know
Are they as effective? I cannot confirm or deny the effectiveness compared to certain products. I have enjoyed using my Murphy’s oil in the past, but I can say, on my days wearing the sticker, I did not seem to be concerned by insects (mosquitos) and one days other did have issue. I’d like to keep the faith and will continue to use them and expand into their product base of wellness, cognitive, and allergy relief.
STNKY Laundry Bag
Looking for a solution for dirty clothes when traveling or on an adventure – STNKY Bag can
What I Like
the Laundry Bag itself is washable. Just put it all in the washer, the dirty clothes, the bag and get clean.
What I Love
The bag is odorless, or it is designed to keep the odors inside. This bagis perfect for those adventures when one day is outside and adventurous with a focus to get dirty. These bags allow you to separate your clean clothes in the suitcase, from the sweaty, stinky elements from a day of adventure. Perfect for trips that involve time outside and then evenings in a city with a nice dinner. I wish I had this for all my Mexico travel.
What Else to Know
Once you put articles inside, that’s where they will stay for your adventure…. well unless you plan for mid adventure laundry – which is usually a good option. Just be cognizant of which items go inside, it is typically a one way (in a good way) path.
Final Thoughts
Hope you enjoy these fun finds this holiday season. Remember I detail many more in my latest Holiday Gift Guide on Staying Adventurous. Plus, you can find some inspiring and adventurous books to read along with some quality coffee products for the adventurous on your list on my site too.
Happy Holidays!
Stay finding fun, Craig
