Flip-It caps let you use every last drop from bottles

toss it 2

Whether it’s lotion, ketchup, syrup, or something else, we’ve all experienced that moment when we squeeze a bottle and nothing comes out of the spout even though there’s product still left inside the bottle.

As some of you who read the Gadgeteer on a regular basis may have seen, I previously reviewed the Turtle Beach XO THREE gaming headset. If you read my summary on that review you saw one of my issues with the XO THREE, or any gaming headset in general, is the lack of a removable/replaceable

Radius insect repellant keeps mosquitoes away without having to apply chemicals to yourself

radius insect repellent

I’m always the prime target for mosquitoes;  I’ve spent most of my summers covered in itchy bites.  I’ve found the true cure for mosquitoes is living over 100 feet in the air – it’s apparently too high for them to fly, and they aren’t strong enough to push the elevator call button.  😉  But even

sixdefly flame bulb

The SIXDEFLY LED bulb screws into any E26 fixture (this is the normal size used in most US fixtures), and it uses 4W of electricity to produce 300 lumens of 1900-2200K light.  The bulb has three modes:  standard, flame, and breathing.  Apparently, you switch the light switch on/off to switch between the three modes.  For best

IQAir Atem personal air purifier review

IQAir Atem 10

I suffer from seasonal allergies and live in an area where avoiding the trees and grasses that are the catalyst for my symptoms is impossible.  The dry air in Colorado also makes for a very dusty indoor environment so between the great outdoors and the dusty indoors, my stuffiness and irritated eyes are on round the clock.
