If you’ve detested the job of trimming hedges, bushes and shrubs in the past -- we’re totally with you because of those heavy clippers, the danger involved and the fact that there’s always a nasty mess left behind. But now you can put on your happy pants, because we’ve discovered a brilliant new tool that changes this dirty job into (almost) fun – the Garden Groom!

First thing, even before you get it out of the box, you’ll notice how amazingly lightweight your Garden Groom is. Its protection-shielded rotary blade is located on the underside, where it safely chews through the toughest foliage and speedily provides professional-looking results. The rotary head cuts and shreds leaves and branches, and actually vacuums up the cut trimmings as you go -- depositing them into the onboard bin or the large volume collection bag (included). The shredding action reduces waste by 10:1, and the clippings are ideal for recycling into mulch or compost.

All you have to do is plug in your Garden Groom and it's ready to go. You’ll notice immediately that one thing IS missing – and that’s the mess!

It’s so easy - everybody will think you are a professional! You can freeze it, throw it in the oven, and then throw it in the dishwasher for easy clean-up.  We guaranteed this will make everyone smile (BIG!!)....

A few issues ago, we introduced you to a great new product we had found called Freedom Alert. Today, we want to introduce you to Guardian Alert 911 - think of it as the pared down version of Freedom Alert that gives you peace of mind at a cheaper price. Guardian Alert 911 is a miniature pendant that can be pocketed or worn on a lanyard, wrist strap  or belt clip. If you or your loved one needs help, a simple push of the button will have you on the line with a 911 operator in just seconds. Describe who and where you are, the nature of the problem, and help is on the way. This is not just an alert device, but one that accommodates two-way conversations between the owner and the 911 operator.

Can’t you just imagine the sense of safety and security this great product will bring to so many life situations? Emergency response devices such as this most often come with heavy upfront fees in the form of set up charges and an annual contract, plus on-going monthly charges. That is not the case with Guardian Alert 911. Just like the Freedom Alert, the initial purchase price is all you will ever pay.

Small, affordable and safe...it's like having a 911 operator in your pocket! ?

We have found an awesome new product that we wanted to share with you asap! The Tanknanny is a very simple product that provides safe transportation of your portable propane tanks.

Whether it's in the car, on your patio, or the next tailgating party, this innovative grill mate is ready to provide a snug fit for the standard 20 pound propane tank.  

As the matter of fact, after we got our sample in and put it to real-life use, everyone in the office ordered themselves one!

Nobody loves their dog more than you do, but that constant barking sometimes makes you feel and act less-than-loving toward your sweet canine companion. Add to that, the yapping of the dogs next door – which triggers your dog’s barking mechanism, and your neighborhood sounds like a sea lion exhibit at the zoo! Wouldn’t it be great if you could train your dog to be quiet?  But then, you also want him to protect your family and watch over your house -- so sometimes, he needs to bark. What a quandary! No wonder you and your dog are both confused!

Now there is a simple, gentle way to end that aggravating barking. BarkOff is the clever, ultrasonic training aid that lets you control your dog's previously uncontrollable barking. At the very first high-decibel bark, just flip the switch on your BarkOff device, and an ultrasonic signal -- inaudible to human ears – quickly interrupts his barking pattern. This signal quickly clarifies for your dog the difference between nuisance barking and protecting home and family. BarkOff is small enough to fit in your pocket, the size of a TV remote -- so you can take it along, anywhere you take your dog. You won’t be able to hear the signal, but your dog’s sensitive hearing will easily pick it up. He will be distracted, lose interest in barking and quickly calm down. BarkOff is definitely pet friendly and doesn't harm your dog in any way.

Get BarkOff for yourself and your neighbors and change the neighborhood from the Bronx Zoo to the Peaceable Kingdom!

We would rather spend our time talking about cheerful subjects, but there is a reality of life that cannot be avoided. What middle age man or woman hasn’t experienced the horrible thought of their parent lying helplessly on the floor after falling with no way to call for help? That is why we were so jazzed to learn about a new product that provides instant access to help for grandma or grandpa, and, in fact, for other members of the family who might need it. This amazing device is called Freedom Alert, and in short, it will give you and your loved ones peace of mind.

Here is what it does: Push the button on this battery-powered communication device and it connects you to one of four contacts you have programmed in. They are not just alerted, but you are able to talk with them to explain your needs. And what we found particularly helpful is that Freedom Alert can also default to a 911 operator if none of your other contacts are available. Can you just imagine the sense of safety and security this great product will bring to so many life situations? It’s the world’s first programmable two-way voice emergency communicator, and it is so easy to operate. Billed as the ultimate personal emergency response system, it is recommended by doctors and other health care providers across the country.

We know there are many choices for systems like the Freedom Alert, but what sets Freedom Alert apart from the rest is the absence of monthly subscription fees and annual contracts. With the Freedom Alert, you simply pay the $279.95 purchase price, and that's it! Yep, you heard it right - no annual contracts, no set-up charges and no monthly fees. It is also small - the miniature pendant can be pocketed, worn on a lanyard, wrist strap or belt clip - it is affordable, and it is like carrying around your own personal 911 operator! ?

What a small price to pay for peace of mind!
