The Nookmark Bookmark is described as a reinvention of a traditional bookmark, but I’m not sure how they went from a piece of paper slipped between the pages of a book to this wooden triangular support. The Nookmark “follows the shape of an open book”, and you lay an open book over the apex of

We always travel with our dog, Teddy, and it’s a bit like traveling with a small child. He doesn’t need exactly the same items as a toddler would, but he does have his booster seat, crate, leash, and other items. Food is always a problem too. Normally he eats frozen raw foods, but we take

Continuing on my recent quest for the perfect backpack, I recently asked to review the Toffee Berlin Backpack. Eighteen months ago, I reviewed the Toffee Centennial pack, a red all-canvas model that I carried for a while.
