Garmin nüvi 2595LMT 5-Inch Portable Bluetooth GPS

I had a 2595LMT and a TomTom 2535 set up in my car at the same time so I could see side by side which one was better. The Garmin won out in almost every respect. There were a few nice things on the TT that Garmin lacks. The TT traffic was much better and had no annoying ads. TT had a few nice options for route configuration, like asking each route if you wanted to use toll roads (very nice in NJ). But the Garmin had a better interface and never crashed. The TT crashed several times and required factory resets to work again. Other reviews on the TT 2535 said the same thing.

NFL Sports Football Action Figures

I bought this for my husband for christmas. He LOVED it. It is super detailed. We are now looking forward to buying more players for this collection and some for my Father-in-law. Only thing I would change is I wish it came packed in a box rather the a soft envelope.Anyway, this piece has excellent detail, which is par for the course with McFarlane’s as a whole. I dont really feel like the fun/educational categories really apply, and i wont ever take it out of the package, so durability will never be an issue. As a collectible, this is a solid piece, and looks great on my wall. ’nuff said.

Graco SnugRider Infant Car Seat Stroller Frame

This stroller is very easy to use and very light! Easy to carry around in car! Definitely recommend getting this if you’re not looking in lugging around a heavy stroller!After my first child, I knew I didn’t want a clunky travel system, and I have no regrets with buying this! It’s very easy to maneuver, light and great to plop the carseat on in a hurry. After my daughter outgrew the carseat, we went straight to a lightweight umbrella stroller.Love this stroller frame. I have the Graco Snugride 30 carseat and thought this would be perfect to use with it b/c its so lightweight. This frame is also really easy to put together. All you have to do is put on the wheels and they just click on. Easiest assembly I’ve ever seen. I’d highly recommend this to anyone that doesn’t want to deal with a full size gigantic travel system stroller for their newborn. If you buy the larger style Graco carseats, you’ll be able to use this stroller frame for longer.

Pyle PL53BL 5.25-Inch 200 Watt Three-Way Speakers

Both OEM door speakers on my ’94 Honda Accord have drastically deteriorated, so I decided to purchase these based on the reviews. After listening to them for the first time, I was very happy with the result. The bass is full without overpowering the mids and highs. For budget speakers, they’re very impressive. I’d recommend these to anyone looking for a cheap and decent-quality alternative to the speakers that came with their vehicle.

Another point to note: Amazon’s “Will this fit my car?” selection tool was incorrect with my car model. It said that 6.5″ speakers would fit, when they clearly don’t. And that 5.25″ speakers wouldn’t fit, when they did. I wouldn’t rely solely on their selection tool when checking whether or not a part will fit your car. Do a search for an online forum on your car instead.

Schwinn Turismo Swivel Single Jogger Stroller

This is a great stroller for the money. It jogs well even when the wheel is not locked and tracks very true. The only thing I don’t like is the material used for the handlebar grip, which doesn’t feel very good if you are hot and/or sweating. Also, the speaker for the MP3 hookup is useless; the speaker in my phone sounds better so I just play directly from the phone. As others mentioned, a hand brake would be nice in addition to the wheel locks since the stroller rolls so smoothly and really picks up speed as you run. If you have long steep hills to go down (which I don’t) it might be a struggle. Overall well worth the money and I would highly recommend it.

Vulli Sophie the Giraffe Teether

This is an ideal first toy, and continues to be a favorite as my grandchildren grow and develop. Tiny hands can easily grasp the neck. Later, the giraffe is a good texture for a teether. As my 2-year-old grandchild grew, Sophie joined his collection of toy animals so he still plays with it. Now, my 3-month-old granddaughter has one of her own and she’s been able to hold it for a month. This may seem a bit spendy for a baby toy but it is very durable and the squeaker still works after 2 years of use. I’m thrifty, but I felt that this was worth the money because it has held up well, and because the children love it. Amazon’s price is good, as I’ve seen them between $22-$24 in stores.

Seiko Men’s SKX173 Automatic Dive Urethane Strap Watch

I purchased this watch for my Son and Husband for Christmas. They both love the watch! They say it is very comfortable to wear, and easy to read. They love the illuminated dial, and can’t wait to go diving with it! My Son collects watches, so he is very picky. He wanted this watch, so that says a lot. The watches were purchased separately, but they both arrived in a very timely manner. I would Highly recommend this seller and product.Agree with many of the fine reviews on this watch, it is a mechanical watch, there is no battery and chip running this thing, and for an automatic movement, it’s very accurate, 2 weeks in, it’s on the money, I wear it all the time, I’ve put a black 4 ring 22mm Zulu band and it looks sick.
