This week I’m bringing you five crowdfunding campaigns that include two products that shrink in size when you need to travel. Click through to see more info about these crowdfunded products as well as three others.
MYMUG: The Last Mug You’ll Ever Need. Century Guaranteed!
What is it?
MYMUG is an insulated beverage holder that is made of a virtually unbreakable composite material that 100% FDA approved, BPA and BPS free, dishwasher safe, can be used in the microwave, and is guaranteed for a century.
Why do I like them?
Making Modern sent me a sample of the MYMUG and I really like the modern look and feel. I also like the slots in the base that allow water to drain when you wash it in a dishwasher. The fact that you can drop it without worrying that it will break is a big plus too. It’s also great that it’s made right here in the US and each mug features a lifetime warranty against defects. The $5 drink-through lid is a nice touch too.
Where can I find more info?
The MYMUG campaign ends in 26 days and they working on reaching their funding goal of $20,000. You can pre-order a MYMUG starting at $10. After the MYMUG campaign ends, rewards are estimated to start shipping in February 2018. Visit their Kickstarter page for all the details.
The Mindful Notebook by Corso
What is it?
The Mindful Notebook is a 240 page A5 sized hardback notebook that helps you unplug and write down your thoughts and task lists.
Why do I like them?
Corso sent me a sample of the Mindful Notebook to check out and I was impressed by the look and feel. Each lined page has a thought or quote at the top and there’s a section at the bottom that is dedicated to listing what you’re grateful for that day.
Where can I find more info?
The Mindful Notebook campaign ends in 18 days and they have already met their funding goal of $10,000. You can pre-order a Mindful Notebook starting at $28. After The Mindful Notebook campaign ends, rewards are estimated to start shipping in December 2017. Visit their Kickstarter page for all the details.
Neofit Roller: The Foam Roller That Goes Anywhere
What is it?
Neofit is a portable version of a foam roller that you can use for self-massage to help with tight muscles and sore areas that are also known as “trigger points”. The Neofit opens to 12 inches and collapses down to a super compact 4 inches.
Why do I like them?
First of all, I don’t personally use foam rollers, but my better half does ALL THE TIME. We have 2 of them in our basement living room and they are each over 3 feet long and 6 or so inches long. They are like a log and take up space. I’d love to get Jeanne one of the Neofit rollers to take the place of the regular rollers that she has because they look like they will do the same thing but take up a fraction of the space.
Where can I find more info?
The Neofit Roller campaign ends in 29 days and they have already met their funding goal of $30,000. You can pre-order a Neofit Roller starting at $49. After The Neofit Roller campaign ends, rewards are estimated to start shipping in July 2018. Visit their Kickstarter page for all the details.
MagC: Wireless MacBook Charging
What is it?
MagC is a wireless charging case that has been designed to clip to the bottom of a MacBook. It will charge your iPhone 8 and iPhone X devices and other Qi devices too.
Why do I like them?
I’ve been a fan of Qi wireless charging for years and would love to have that capability for my MacBook too. The MagC wireless charger looks really interesting and it’s being made by the same people who created the TarDisk so at least you know that it’s not from a company who has never made a product before.
Where can I find more info?
The MagC campaign ends in 56 days and they have already met their funding goal of $1,000. You can pre-order a MagC starting at $139. After The MagC campaign ends, rewards are estimated to start shipping in March 2018. Visit their Kickstarter page for all the details.
Jammy – Super Portable Digital Guitar
What is it?
Jammy is a travel-sized steel stringed digital guitar.
Why do I like them?
I’m a sucker for small musical instruments. I have owned small keyboards, travel guitars, ukuleles, and even other miniature digital guitars like the Jamstik. I think the Jammy looks like it might be better than the Jamstik because it opens to a larger size. The Jamstik was cool, but it was really small and slightly awkward to use. The Jammy looks like it might solve that problem while remaining very portable and travel-friendly. You don’t even need an app to play music on it because it’s a MIDI instrument. Just plug in headphones and play.
Where can I find more info?
The Jammy campaign ends in 56 days and they have already met their funding goal of $50,000. You can pre-order a Jammy starting at $349. After The Jammy campaign ends, rewards are estimated to start shipping in April 2018. Visit their Indiegogo page for all the details.
