Share Lifelike Video of Your Next Ride with the Contour HD Helmet Cam

ContourHD 1080p Wearable Video Camera

Boldly go where no other HD video camera can. Maybe you’re Mike Rowe and like to get down and dirty in tiny crawl spaces with a camera strapped to your head.

A very cool gift for those who enjoy adventure sports and generally riding things that move—think bikers, boarders, skiers, racers, climbers, etc. The ContourHD 1080p Wearable Video Camera captures a point-of-view not typically easy to share with others, in glorious high-def.

Hello Summer, pull up a chair

Soak up the outdoors in the Cabrio Lounge Chair

If I had a yard

Summer is officially here and it’s time to take your sitting outside. Leave the sofa, close the laptop. If I had a yard I’d be in a blue (maybe a chocolate brown—or a green?) Cabrio Lounge Chair with my toes in the grass, the newest issue of Dwell in hand and a cold hefe nearby on the conveniently wide armrests.

If I had a patio

Shopping for patio furniture can be a real trick. The selection hits stores as a seasonal item, often in a limited assortment of colors and styles. By the first day of summer (ahem, today) you’d be hard pressed to find something that you won’t be frowning at come this time next year. Until there was Loll.

Made out of post-consumer recycled plastic (320 milk jugs to be exact), the result is a weatherproof, fade-proof material that lasts a lifetime and doesn’t need to be covered, stored or tended to.

If I had an outdoor furniture company

Loll was developed around the longevity and sustainability of materials being used by a skatepark manufacturer. They figured if it could withstand the elements plus the skaters while looking and functioning exceptionally well year after year without being disassembled, it’d make for some pretty great outdoor furniture.

In addition, they go above and beyond to be green. The furniture (which by the way there are benches, tables chaises and adirondack chairs too) is 100% recyclable. A tree is planted for every order received, they are 1% for the Planet contributors and much more.

The Cabrio Lounge Chair comes in six colors for $319 from Loll.

Lovely day for a Shopnic

The collapsable basket that schwaps open

Get outside!

The weather has gotten all summery. The parks and breezes are stealing our attention—the temptresses that they are, beckoning from out the window.

I resolve to picnic. And I wish I had one of these. It’s a Shopnic basket (shopping+picnic, for the obvious-impaired).

Handy and mighty

Not only is it collapsable, machine washable and springs open like a magician’s hat (watch this video on flickr to see for yourself), it’s also super strong. We’re talking seventy granny smiths from the farmer’s market strong.

The frame is made from ABS plastic, a recyclable and durable plastic (think Legos), and wrapped in a mesh nylon cover. Basically it’s made to last a very long time, which for the price is what we’d expect.

Surprise-nic

The thing just screams spontaneity. Stash one of these in the back of the car, and one day when she least expects it, swing by the market and then head to the park. The resulting smile and moment of speechlessness will be well worth it.

Who couldn’t use a slow afternoon on a blanket in the grass with nothing to worry about but the ants?

Shopnic is $99 and comes in three colors at Lekkerhome.com, a home furnishings store out of Boston with a great collection and fresh little brand.
