The Drink Dispensing Driver.
The Remote Controlled
Rolling Beverage Cooler.
This amusing remote-controlled cooler can roll across a patio, rug, or
kitchen floor to deliver a well-timed beverage to parched party guests.
With room for 12 cans or bottles and ice, the cooler rolls on four sturdy
underside wheels up to 40' from the host at the controls. The remote’s
simple controls send the cooler forward, backward, and left or right.
With sides of water-resistant insulated vinyl and a secure zippered
lid, beverages stay cold for hours. The cooler can be carried with the
removable shoulder strap and collapses to just 61/2" tall for storage.
Sturdy construction can transport 22 lbs. of drinks and ice. Requires
one 9-volt battery and six C batteries. 131/4" H x 12" diam. (7 lbs.)
Item 76019
“157 yards to
green center”
This is the drink-dispensing golf club that allows golfers to
discreetly get a head start on the 19th hole while still on the
course. The unit’s club head and shaft give the appearance of a
typical driver, yet it dispenses 1-oz. per second from a spout in
the club head with the touch of a button. When inside a golf bag,
the drink dispensing driver helps golfers maintain the illusion
of proper course etiquette and won’t draw a second look from
even the most astute course officials. The driver is connected to
an insulated cooler that stores inconspicuously inside a golf bag
and keeps up to 54 oz. of refreshments cool or warm for up to
five hours. Drink dispensing is powered by the four included AA
batteries. 161/2" L x 83/4" W x 41/2" D. (31/4 lbs.)

The Distance Calculating
Talking Golf Caddy.
This is the palm-sized GPS unit that verbally tells golfers how far they
are from the green to help improve club and shot selections. The device
automatically recognizes the golf course and hole you are playing from
its pre-loaded database of 35,000 courses. With a press
of a button, the GPS announces the remaining distance to the front,
back, or center of the green in a clear female voice—accurate to within
nine feet—as the data is simultaneously displayed on its monochrome
LCD screen. It can also measure the length of drives. Small enough
to clip unobtrusively to a visor, belt, or golf bag, the device can speak
in one of eight languages. No subscription required; up to 5,000
additional golf courses can be downloaded from the manufacturer’s
web site. Operates for nine hours after a two-hour charge using the
included USB/AC adapter. 13/4" H x 13/4" H x 1/2" D. (1 oz.)

also be set to alert you when you’ve unknowingly left the iPhone behind

sounding the alarm when the devices are more than 25' apart. The app
can also help you to locate the keychain device if it is ever misplaced.

battery that can sustain prolonged use for movie marathons or
extended travel. The battery can be turned off so it is available
only when needed. The ultra-thin case adds less than 1/2" to
an iPad’s thickness and its articulated leather-like cover folds
under to prop an iPad in landscape mode. The soft suedelined interior protects an iPad from scratches. The battery

The Cordless Neuromuscular
Back Pain Reliever.
This streamlined cordless electrotherapy system delivers hours
of drug-free pain relief from lower back pain. As powerful as
professional equipment, the device employs
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation
(TENS), harmless electrical pulses that block
pain signals passing through nerves to the brain.
The system also increases blood flow to the area
to promote healing and relaxation. According
to the American Physical Therapy Association,
Remote
TENS therapy can be an effective element of pain
management for low-intensity discomfort. The compact threebutton remote control initiates/ends a 30-minute treatment session
and adjusts the intensity of stimulation. Unlike TENS systems with
multiple electrode cords and tethered battery packs, this thin unit
doesn’t impede movement, can be worn under clothing, and need
not be removed between treatments. The adhesive electrode pads
stay securely in place for up to 5 applications. Includes 40 gel pads
(about a three month supply), two AAA batteries that provide up to
150 30-minute treatments, CR2032 battery for remote, and storage
box. 71/2" L x 3" W x 3/4" D. (43/4 oz.)
Item 83521
The Gentleman’s 20 Watch Valet.
This is the handmade woodgrain valet that holds 20 watches, protecting
them against dust and scratches and preserving your investment in treasured
timepieces. Made of engineered wood with a matte cherrywood finish and lined
with soft felt, the case has two levels of compartments, each containing a plump
mini pillow for cradling valuables and ensuring leather watch bands retain their
shape. The top layer of ten watches is visible through a 51/2" x 111/2" clear viewing
pane in the case lid; a drawer underneath holds the second layer of ten. The snug
compartments can also store and protect bracelets, necklaces, and medals. The
cabinet has polished metal hardware and hinges and a dual trigger closure with
key lock that secures the lid. 141/2" L x 81/2" W x 61/2" D. (61/2 lbs.)

The Heat Therapy Neck Massager.
This is the collar that helps to relieve neck tension using vibrating
massage, electric stimulation, and heat therapy. Used by professional
therapists, it is ideal for helping to relieve muscle pain and strain from
driving, flying, or office work. Slipping around the neck comfortably
and controlled from the included infrared remote, the massager’s six
vibration modes promote relaxation. Twin metal conductors built into
the collar send six intensity levels of harmless low-frequency electrical
pulses into the neck’s tissue that block pain signals passing through
nerves to the brain, increasing blood flow to promote healing. Two
elements built into the collar provide three levels of far-infrared heat
that penetrates neck muscles for optimal relaxation. You can select
sessions in 5-minute increments up to 30 minutes. Its rechargeable
battery provides up to 21/2 hours of operation from a six-hour charge
using the included AC adapter. 93/4" L x 9" W x 21/2" H. (11/4 lbs.)

The Finger Swipe Headphones.
These are the wireless Bluetooth headphones that are controlled with the swipe of a finger.
Unlike typical wireless headphones that leave users fumbling blindly for buttons, this model
incorporates the same sensitive touchpads found in smartphones and tablets. Sliding a finger

advances or rewinds a track. The music stops when an incoming call is received, allowing the
wearer to answer using the unit’s built-in microphone. With a frequency response of 20Hz to
2KHz, the 40mm drivers deliver rich sound from any audio source, while soft padding on the
ear cups and headpiece lets users listen for hours in comfort. The earphones fold down for

hours of listening from a one-hour charge with the included USB cable. An auxiliary port and
