Octo Respirator Masks
Plenty of DIYers, woodworkers, gardeners, camping enthusiasts, etc. forgets that damage can be done to their respiratory systems when working on yard projects, painting, using toxic chemicals, or doing clean-up work (mold spores). Unfortunately, those contaminants join a host of others — viruses, smoke particles, and silica dust to name a few—in the air.
To add a valuable layer of respiratory protection, OCTO’s respirator mask, is a self-contained face mask that provides above N95 level protection, can be easily sterilized in boiling water, has no replacement parts, and has a 10-shelf life. The ORM can be used while tinkering or doing manly projects around the house (construction, painting) as well as for travel, and to reduce allergy symptoms during high allergy seasons (or filter out pollen in the spring!), and are perfect for outdoor enthusiasts who value maintaining a stocked “go bag/bug out bag” for unexpected emergencies.
Moovit Platoon
One of the most convenient items I tried this year was the Moovit Platoon. Its like a baby stroller for all your goods. Super easy to maneuver and it holds quite a bit. I took it on a camping weekend and it was a lifesaver moving all the camping gear from the truck to the campsite. Rolled over the terrain like silk. Highly recommended if you haul stuff. Can even double as a personal shopping cart.

The Portable All-in-One Table Tennis Set is what you need if you want to play table tennis, but don’t have a proper table! Play anytime, on any table! Complete with a retractable net, 2 high-performance table tennis paddles, and 3 white balls. Includes a premium case for easy storage and travel.
Water-To-Go Water Bottle With Filter
A great gift for guys who like the outdoors is a personal water purifier bottle. It is the gift of health.
- More men are getting outdoors as a way to deal with “Covid cabin fever.”
- Hiking and camping have never been more popular. Campsite bookings have grown 400% compared to the same time last year.
- But they venture outdoors with a heighten sense of safety and health.
- Outdoor water sources carry dangerous pathogens that can ruin outdoor adventure and travel.
Water-to-Go provides a protective shield against those pathogens, eliminating up to 99.9999% of water-borne contaminants like dangerous chemicals, bacteria, parasites, and viruses to keep people healthy wherever they roam outdoors. If there is something in the water that could make you sick, we likely remove it.

KJ Ketterling Sprinkler K-IT
Dad-owned Lego-inspired Sprinkler K-IT that revives your home sprinkler system
For the Sunday warriors, the turf nerds, the landscapers, the gardeners, and green thumbs, your lawn’s sprinkler system is about to get a makeover. Did you know that typical in-ground yard sprinklers sink too deeply into the earth because of the thatch, dirt, dust, and debris blowing in? Plus, you always face running over it with the mower. When any of the above occurs, the whole sprinkler head has to be dug out of the ground, ripping up the area around it to make a mess with mud, water, and debris. Then, you have to remove the head, replace it, add a riser, put the head back together, set it straight, and bury it again.
Whew, we’re getting tired just talking about it!
That’s why dad-owned landscaping brand KJ Ketterling crafted a better way to water your lawn with a well-constructed sprinkler riser system.
Called the K-IT, this simple sprinkler riser system makes maintenance a breeze, it was built on the concept: Elevate, don’t excavate.
QB54
It’s the only football game on the market. It’s an entire game of football built from 2 folding chairs and it’s perfect to take to the beach, backyard or your team’s favorite tailgating spot. It has all aspects of football including completions, touchdowns, interceptions, even kicking the extra point. My brother and I invented this game as kids and created a successful business around it. This is a family business. And the game forms into two chairs when finished playing that you can sit in, its dual purpose.
