THE RAZOR'S EDGE IS WHERE YOU WANT TO BE

The Razor Hovertrax Prizma is the ultimate in electric-powered fun. The colorful LED lighted wheel hubs and front-facing light bars create a prism of pulsing color that makes you feel like you're hovering over a virtual rainbow wherever you go. The UL certified 25.2v lithium-ion battery pack offers up to 40 minutes of continuous movement on a single charge, while an indicator light keeps track of the battery level for you. Enjoy the smooth ride as you reach speeds up to 9 mph with the dual 150-watt brushless hub motors. Select either Training or Normal mode depending on your skill level. The mode indicator, plus the antislip rubber foot pads and Razor's EverBalance technology, empower riders of all levels to hover with confidence.

The patented Razor Hovertrax Prizma is UL 2272 certified, meets both the industry's highest electrical safety standards and Razor's commitment to excellence. In other words, accept no imitations.

LOCKDOWN LISTENING WITH AUDIO TECHNICA

Being an individual of a certain age--past it, actually--I still relish listening to my records. After all, it took years, and plenty of dough, to accumulate all of those albums. Plus, with the pandemic still raging, an old guy like me needs something to help pass the lockdown hours. So, we turned to Audio-Technica and its AT-LP60XBT, which provides all the great features of the redesigned AT-LP60X fully automatic belt-drive stereo turntable with the added convenience of Bluetooth wireless connectivity (as it pairs with speakers, headphones, or other wireless devices). With its CSR BT chipset, the turntable is even able to connect to devices that support the aptX codec, offering much-improved sound quality over the standard SBC code.

Of course, the AT-LP60XBT also can be operated just like a regular turntable with a traditional wired connection. Either way, you get outstanding audio with the ease of automatic operation controlled by front-panel start, stop, and tonearm lift buttons.

Audio-Technica has been a leader in phono cartridge design for more than 50 years, and that expertise shows in the AT-LP60XBT's Dual Magnet cartridge with replaceable stylus. The cartridge is integrated into the headshell for assured performance and ease of setup.

The AT-LP60XBT plays both 33-1/3 and 45 RPM records and comes with a 45 RPM adapter, a detachable dual RCA output cable (for wired connection), and a removable hinged dust cover. The turntable is available in black, white/black, and red/black.

LINKING SENIORS WITH THEIR LOVING FAMILIES

It is a sad truth that this is a challenging time for our seniors and loved ones in residential settings. For many, COVID restrictions and other health concerns have made being in the same physical space an impossibility. Social distancing guidelines make it more complicated to stay in touch, especially with those who do not use social media or video chat.

Familink aims to bring us a little closer with its completely plug-and-play photo frame, making picture sharing fun, easy, and uncomplicated. Perfect for those who are less than tech savvy or lacking Internet, the Familink Frame uses a 3G/4G SIM card, which works in more than 100 countries, and comes completely configured and installed. Family and friends can send pictures and messages through email, WhatsApp, or Facebook Messenger, and they appear instantaneously on the digital frame. WiFi is not required, so this gift is ideal for places where Internet is not available.

Photos received by seniors are perfect conversation starters for phone calls and, what's more, they are daily reminders that family remains close at heart even if face-to-face visits are not happening. It's a simple way to stay in touch during these uncertain times.

Priced at $169, the Familink Frame is available on Amazon and includes three months of use of the 3G/4G SIM card. In 3G, users may receive 10 photos per day, or an unlimited number if connected to WiFi. After the first three months, the SIM card can be renewed for $6.90/month. If a WiFi connection is available, the frame can continue to be used at no additional charge.

WHY GOLFERS WANT TO BE IN THE SANDTRAP

For lovers of the links, In The Sand Golf provides personalized gifts featuring incredible aerial photographs--of sand traps formed as letters of the alphabet--taken by its founder, Mary Whitworth, who noticed a lack of originality in the golf gift market and was tired of the same old golf t-shirts she would gift her husband. As a pilot and photographer, she searched the Florida panhandle for sand traps to spell out her husband's name, and now she does it for her customers.

Personalized products retail from a range of $10-$60, and include Hole In One Zen Garden; Personalized Golf Name Frame for Sand Trap Photos (described above and our personal favorite); Gift Set (Wooden Tray, 2 Mugs & 2 Coasters); Sandstone Coaster Set in Wood

Box; In The Sand Golf Collection Coffee Table Book; and lots more. See for yourself at inthesandgolf.com or call (800)723-7425.

SECURE LUGGAGE MAKES FOR SECURE TRAVEL

As the folks at Delsey like to say, "The journey continues..." at this juncture with the Executive Collection, specifically the 29" Expandable Upright, an ultra secure piece of luggage in which the TSA-accepted combination lock enables you to secure your luggage with your own three-digit code while allowing TSAto open It using a special key, without damaging it. The bag also is equipped with Delsey's patented zip Securitech system, which is three times more resistant to break-in than a conventional zipper.

This checked-size Upright-31.75" H x 20.5" W x 13.5" D, 11.4 lbs.--features nine pockets: three on the outside, and six inside of the main compartment, allowing for maximum organization. Tapered expansion allows for packing flexibility, perfect if you plan on bringing souvenirs back from your journey. The Flex-height trolley system is adjustable to three heights for a customized level of comfort, with handles on three different sides: top, side, and bottom, facilitating comfort when lifting a fully packed case.

Each component and material used was hand selected with ultra-durability in mind. Featuring a Deal-Advanced wheel system, the back wheel is 25% larger and enhanced for durability to allow for two- or four-wheel use. Additionally, this collection is constructed of Ever-Last, a lightweight, durable ballistic nylon fabric built to resist dirt, wear, and moisture.

ANOTHER REASON TO BE GLAD YOU'RE MR. & MRS.

Perfect for a wedding or anniversary gift--and, of course, a Christmas present--the elegantly embroidered Mr. and Mrs. Silk Pillowcases from Celestial Silk are made with 25 momme pure mulberry silk. A hidden zipper closure helps keep it neatly arranged on the pillow for a polished look.

The embroidered letters are an elegant cursive style with an understated size--ideal for making a romantic statement, but small enough that the lettering doesn't interfere with the smooth texture of the silk. Sleeping on these pillowcases remains an exercise of extreme comfort.

A 25 momme silk is thicker and more durable and luxurious than lighter momme weights. Able to withstand daily usage and regular laundering, this denser weave provides almost 30% more silk than its economical counterparts. Carefully wrapped in white tissue paper, the set arrives in a black embossed gift box with Celestial Silk gold lettering.

We all know that sleep plays an important role in our physical health. Yet, so many of us are unable to get a good night's sleep. The culprit often is our mattress. When it comes time to replace it, trying to find the right match can be a daunting task.
