Beat Holiday Aches, Pain, and Holiday Gift Giving Dilemmas..

Manly Man Item: Heavenly Accupressure Mat

Heavenly Acupressure Mat, $39.95

Manly Man Highlights:

Sweden’s #1 Chrismas gift now available in the US
Relieves Stress and Tension
Targets Back and Neck Pain
Increase Blood Circulation
Sleep Better
Relax Deeper

Manly Man Details:
The Heavenly Acupressure Mat has arrived in the U.S. just in time to help people relieve the physical and emotional pains of everyday life, along with the headache of ‘what to give’ for the holidays. It is the newest wellness product on the market to address Americans’ growing interest in natural health and personal care. The Heavenly Mat uses the principles of acupressure to help relieve stress, anxiety, insomnia, and chronic back or neck pain, while at the same time increasing relaxation and an overall sense of well-being.

Chief Blonde Remarks: I am giving this to my husband for Christmas. He has the worst back and simply cannot wait to try this mat. It’s his gift so I didn’t let him try the Heavenly Acupressure Mat. What I like about the Mat, is its affordability, $39.95 is a very reasonable price for a mat which does so much. The acupressure mat works by applying non-penetrative acupressure on numerous points over an area of the body. The pressure stimulates the release of endorphins and oxytocin, the body’s natural pain relieving and ‘feel-good’ hormones. The mat is also very portable and can easily slip under a bed or behind a door. It’s an excellent gift for young and old and everyone will appreciate that you took the time to focus on their health.

Got Cold Feet?

Classic Black Wool Merino Socks by Blacksocks

Manly Man Highlights:

Unique Blacksocks sock/month program $140/year or $16 for a trial pair
Merino wool has a wonderful silky feel versus standard wool socks
Merino wool socks are used by athletes, skiers, hikers and mountain climbers due to its ability to draw moisture away from the skin

Manly Man Details: Known for its innovative “sockscription” service that delivers socks to your door year round, Blacksocks carries men’s socks, fine undershirts, a line of boxer shorts and briefs, and travel shave kits, all available via subscription. Manufactured in Northern Italy in accordance with the Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, Blacksocks socks are allergy-proof and thoroughly tested for quality

Cheif Blonde Remarks: We have previously reviewed Blacksocks underwear in our 2009 I NEED one more Gift Holiday Gift Guide. I love their subscription service that delivers men’s essentials right to your home. You can buy the subscription as a gift so this is the perfect gift for the businessman or a son/brother who lives away from home. These new socks really are as soft as the company claims. My husband has yet to wear them (as they are a Christmas gift) but I can tell you with the nice long length and the warmth combined, he will LOVE them.

Sleep easier knowing you won’t miss that important meeting…

Manly Man Article: Amplicom USA’s new TCL 200 Digital alarm clock with Vibrating Pad

TCL 200 Digital alarm clock with Vibrating Pad $124.95

Manly Man Highlights:

Adjustable volume and tone controls
Large, easy-to-see illuminated numerals and easy-to-use controls
5 different alarm patterns to choose from
Batteries for power-outage alarm back-up
Plug-in connection for any phone so that the shaker will also vibrate or audibly signal to notify of an incoming call
Snooze button with choice of delays: 0,5 or 15 minutes

Announces the time and alarm time in a choice of five languages:
English, Spanish, French, German or Italian
Allows user(s) to program multiple alarms
Can be programmed to sound/vibrate only on selected days of the week

Manly Man Details: AMPLICOM USA, (www.amplicomusa.com), is introducing a new line of ALARM CLOCKS with the FIRST EVER WIRELESS VIBRATING PAD. This is a chargeable pad that slips under the pillow and vibrates to wake the sleeper up. (It also has an extra loud 90 dB ringer, so there’s the option to use that, the shaker pad, or both.) Obviously, these TCL SERIES ALARM CLOCKS are a great way for grandparents who have hearing loss to keep on track and keep their independence. But they’re also great for sleep deprived high school and college students who are trying to establish theirs! Or for anyone who has ever slept through their alarm and missed an important meeting, flight or class.

The clocks come in analogue and digital versions, the latter of which includes a “talking” feature for low vision users. And they connect to your telephone too so that you can be alerted to incoming calls if you so choose.

Chief Blonde Remarks: This alarm clock is definitely for the hard to wake. Do you know how loud 90db is? Sound at that level is the equivalent of a lawn mower driving into your bedroom. Do you think that might wake you up? YEAH, I think so. Every teenager should have one of these. Couple that with the wireless vibrating pad and even the hardest to wake person should be jumping out of bed. This clock is small enough to travel with and if you don’t want all the noise and shaking, you can still use the bright flashing LED light to wake you up. The company advertises this clock as one that an older person would like as well…I guess I qualify and I do. Loud, shaking, and blinking.. this baby will leave no one in the house sleeping!
