Water Jet Propelled Road Rocket
Summer time is here yet again, so what better way than to entertain yourself outdoors with the Water Jet Propelled Road Rocket?

Modeled after the road rockets that once sped across Utahs famed Bonneville Salt Flats, the racers missile-shaped fuselage is vacuum formed PVC and has dual airfoils that enable it to travel up to 150′ on a paved, level outdoor surface. Includes an air pump with an integrated pressure gauge and two sheets of decals for customizing your racer. For ages 7 and up.

Grill Charms to the fore
I know that the 4th of July weekend is already over, but it makes perfect sense that having a cook out under the stars is not meant for just that particular day as you can always hold one to celebrate a birthday or an anniversary. The Grill Charms are similar in concept to wine charms, offering dime-sized solid stainless steel charms that are placed in your food BEFORE grilling.
The stems are serrated to hold securely while grilling, moving and flipping. Grill Charm your food prior to cooking to distinguish spices and flavors, steak temperatures, or to avoid health or allergy issues. When dinner comes off the grill everyone knows which one is theirs! With The Steak Collection, when still uncooked, you Grill Charm your steak or burger with the desired charm (MR for Medium Rare etc…) then when the food comes off the grill, you don’t have to cut into all the beautiful food to try to find the one you want. You simply look for your Grill Charm.
Sounds like the perfect device to prevent arguments between people who can’t make up their mind on which is their food and which isn’t. Just make sure you don’t end up swallowing your Grill Charm along with your barbecued chicken.

The Square Solar Shoji Lantern great for pool parties

However, there are the ones that stand out from the rest, like these cute little lamps.
