Whether you’re ready as a family to face a serious slackline, one that extends 60 feet is going to present a challenge whether you’re a kid or an adult. This slackline kit goes so much further though because it comes with 13 obstacles and accessories to transform it into a wicked ninja line as well. The two-inch-wide slackline can handle from up to 250 pounds, so we’re talking about serious safety here, no matter your age.
The obstacles can be adjusted to make spacing easier at first and more challenging later. You’ll also get a heavy-duty industrial ratchet that can and should be one of your key must-haves. Obstacles include four gymnastic rings, three monkey bars, and a rope ladder. You can also get an obstacle expansion pack that includes a spinning wheel, two traverse rings, and two monkey fists, all of which can be moved apart to make this course more difficult once your kiddos have experience.
This kit features adjustable nylon straps with buckles, locking delta clips, tree protectors, and a carrying bag to take your fun wherever you go. Slacklines are great for improving posture and overall conditioning, per the experts at HopOn Slacklines.

Perhaps the most powerful and portable Bluetooth speaker available today, the JBL Boombox delivers incredible sound accompanied by deep, hard-hitting bass. The holidays are a great time for all sorts of bargains but when someone gets a prime piece of audio gear like the JBL Boombox, it’s time to celebrate.
Incorporated four active transducers and two JBL bass radiators, the JBL Boombox delivers monstrous sound along with bass so low you’ll look around to see why the house is shaking so badly. You’ll not only hear this bass but also see it.
This king of all portable speakers delivers the goods with dual 20mm, high-performance tweeters, and dual four-inch woofers all powered by a tough 30 Watt amplifier. Your neighbors are going to hate the sound level coming from your side of the fence…unless maybe you invite them over.
Another bonus? Consumer Reports just gave this boom box rave reviews too!

I can’t rave enough about how much I love our Instant Pot so I won’t even try. No, wait; I can’t help it. This thing is simply awesome. This best selling model features a microprocessor that monitors pressure, temperature, time, and adjusts heat while cooking. It is seriously the easiest way on the planet to cook a delicious full meal.
For most recipes, simply place the ingredients in (mostly without preparation) then hit the desired time to cook. This works even better with frozen foods; a frozen pork roast will come out amazingly well in just 90 minutes. With an Instant Pot, you’ll have a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, saute pan, yogurt maker, and warmer all in one appliance.
It’s completely easy to clean, features a fingerprint-resistant stainless steel lid, and the components are dishwasher-safe. And even though there are a myriad of recipes online, printed pages don’t gift very well. Pair the Instant Pot with a copy of The Step-By-Step Instant Pot Cookbook for an incredible present to open on Christmas morning.

First off: yes, please.
Second: if you’re not familiar with the work of one Mr. Ralph McQuarrie, it’s safe to say that nothing about Star Wars, not the films, not the merchandise, and certainly not the long-lasting fan base, would have existed if it hadn’t been for this genius. This enormous two-volume collection celebrates the masterpiece artistry that was his life’s work.
George Lucas hired Ralph because of his work on providing illustrations to the national news channels during the Apollo moon missions. See, George wanted someone whom he could work with to produce artwork that might sell the idea of Star Wars to a movie studio. Lucky for him, George found the right guy and the rest is history.
These books feature concepts, production paintings, costumes, posters, album covers, and even Lucasfilm’s annual holiday cards. All of it has been rescanned and re-photographed specifically for this collection. Never-before-seen illustrations numbering in the hundreds are here as well as unpublished interviews and recollections from Ralph’s colleagues and friends.

Maybe you know a man who likes camping or hanging at the beach? Whatever the excuse to recreate in the great outdoors, a good blanket like this one from California Picnic is an essential item. It’s waterproof and made of quality soft-touch acrylic that is non-toxic and friendly to the environment.

Get the game started with this nostalgic set of coasters that look like classic Nintendo Entertainment System game cartridges. Not only will they save the furniture from nasty water rings but they’ll blast you back to the past with their classic 8-bit coolness.
Imagine how impressed all your nerd (that’s a compliment) friends will be with all eight of these double-sided coasters sporting graphics from Donkey Kong, Metroid, The Legend of Zelda, and more. And not only do they look like the old cartridges but they’re the same size as well. Totally fun and retro. Buy them.
Another fun idea is this pair of Super Mario Brothers color-changing coffee mugs, another great gift for the Nintendo junkie.

The League of Regrettable Super-Villians by Jonathan Morris is one of my personal favorite coffee books of all-time. This book is full of unbelievably bad super-villains from the past 50 years. Look, not everyone can live up to the maniacal greatness of Doctor Doom or Lex Luthor or Galactus but you’ve got to at least try to instill fear into the hearts of your wailing victims.
The book contains 100 of the strangest and silliest super-villains ever to hit the pages of a comic book. You’ll be introduced to baddies like MODOK and Egg Fu and (wait for it) Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man. Yeah. It’s as weird as you’re thinking. Many, many more tragically weird villains are in the book that, bless them, tried to create some intense drama. Nice try, guys. Mr. Morris has also written about regrettable superheroes and regrettable sidekicks as well.

Arrrr, me hearties! Be ye ready to launch the adventure of ye lifetime?!? You and your family can talk like pirates all you want when playing Plunder: A Pirate’s Life. Fame and riches await any swashbuckler brave enough to seize the helm and command a fleet flying the Jolly Roger.

It’s not always easy to talk about but using the bathroom with the Squatty Potty makes things flow a lot easier. This version of the popular toilet stool (I get jokes) is made of slim teak wood which not only looks terrific compared to plastic versions but will hold up to water exposure. Hey, sometimes toilets leak.
It’s always easy to make jokes about the Squatty Potty but the bathroom aid is doctor recommended with science to back up using the device. When using the stool, colon health is improved as are symptoms of issues related to using the bathroom like hemorrhoids, constipation, and bloating. You don’t want that stuff left in you, do you? No, of course not. The Squatty Potty will help you with that.
It features a slight slope from front to back that raises the user’s heels to accommodate a more natural position with which to evacuate waste. The stool tucks close to the toilet when not in use but when it’s time to go, simply slide it where you need it, and place your feet on the top. The Squatty Potty is an ingenious device that has boldly given help with something that we all have to do every day.

Beats sound equipment is crazy good. It isn’t meant to be understood, it just is. Beats has their Powerbeats Pro Wireless Earphones on sale this holiday season.
An Apple H1 headphone chip powers the Powerbeats Pro so it not only sounds wild but it pairs with Apple products without any struggle at all. I mean none. They pair up with Android devices as well but I’m just saying that if you have an iPhone, you’re in for a real treat.
Workout, exercise, or heavy yard work, will be made all the better with Powerbeats Pro. Adjustable, secure-fit ear hooks are customizable with multiple ear tip options to ensure these headphones are your personal audio gateway. In other words, there’s equipment included that will personalize these earphones just for you.

No matter how you celebrate the holidays, this classic version of The Night Before Christmas (in coloring book form!) will be a welcome addition. Lavishly illustrated by acclaimed artist Charles Santore, this edition features stunning drawings sure to light up the holiday season. Reading this book to your kids or grandkids while showing them the beautiful artwork will make memories that you’ll remember for years to come.
Fun fact: The Night Before Christmas was first published anonymously in a New York newspaper in 1823 as A Visit from St. Nicholas. In 1844, Clement C. Moore published the poem in an anthology of his own poetry and was credited as the author after that. The family of Dutch poet Henry Livingston, Jr. claimed that he was the true author but unfortunately he passed away years before Moore’s anthology.
The original poem included many Dutch references including several reindeer names such as “Donder” and “Blixem” meaning thunder and lightning, respectively. Those were later anglicized in later editions, unfortunately, to Donner and Blitzen. As a nod to Mr. Livingston, this coloring book version of The Night Before Christmas includes the original Dutch names.

For the foodie in your life, there are lots of reasons to love a digital kitchen scale like this one. If they’re always dieting, or on a food and fitness plan, digital scales can help keep track of food measurements throughout the day – a boon if they’re logging all their foods and tracking points or calories.
If they’re an exacting baker, more and more cookbooks measure ingredients by weight versus cups or fractions of cups. This scale means their next loaf of rustic bread has a greater chance of turning out perfect.
This scale measures up to 33 pounds, and it has a tare function so you can zero it out after placing a bowl or other vessel on it prior to measuring your ingredients. The large digital readout makes things perfectly clear, and it’s accurate up to 0.1 ounces.

Every woman needs a great play coat for wearing out in the Christmas snow, but most puffer jackets make you look, well, puffy. That’s why we’re nuts about this cute winter coat because it doesn’t leave your lady looking like a box. The drawstring waist gives it (and her) some shape while still blocking out the wind and weather.
In addition to the fact that it ships fast and free with your Prime Membership, it’s got a nice cozy hood, and elasticized cuffs to keep her warm. This jacket comes in tons of fun colors from women’s Small to XX-Large.
Think she’d prefer a jacket that could also act as a base layer under a heavier coat? This packable puffer is the perfect option and it’s also available in nearly two dozen colors and patterns in the same range of sizes.

The perfect present for anyone who has a woodshop or workshop that regularly needs cleanup, the DeWALT wet/dry vacuum is a workhorse in a small package. This 10-gallon vacuum can handle all sorts of chores but what really makes it great is that it’s so quiet! Compared to other shop vacs we’ve tested, this one is powerful without sounding like a freight train coming through.
It comes with a variety of attachments for both wet and dry jobs, and another bonus is that they fit in a handy basket that attaches to the vacuum unit. That means when you’re rolling it around, they don’t get knocked onto the floor. Oh, and those wheels? They’re a dream – and easy maneuvering is a must.
The long hose makes it easy to reach those high places for unpleasant cleaning tasks (think cobwebs) and it’s flexible enough to get into tight spots. Need a bigger unit? DeWALT makes a 16-gallon wet/dry vac too, but it isn’t delivered quite as quickly, although in plenty of time for Christmas.
