In Minnesota, winters can be REALLLLLLY LONGGGGGG! If you are looking for a great gift idea for your children this winter that will also give them the exercise they need, you might want to consider getting them a Upper Bounce trampoline and put it in your basement! Parents who have children with tons of energy and especially those with sensory processing disorders find that bouncing on a trampoline is something that helps "regulate" them.

I have some friends that do this and have the space in their open basement and I absolutely LOVE the idea!

As for us, we will be using our new Upper Bounce Rectangular Trampoline outside in our backyard in the spring and WE CAN'T WAIT!!! This trampoline has so much room for jumping so the kids can be safe while jumping and getting out ALL that energy they have!!

Rectangular trampolines are known for their massive bounce due to the independently working springs that work at different rates giving you the highest lift, as well as enables jumper to have better control over their height and landing.

The frame is constructed with heavy duty, rust-resistant Galvanized Steel. It is powder coated Black for extra durability. It also features ultra bounce heavy duty galvanized springs for bursting strength and maximum bouncing, with 4 sturdy W shaped legs using 8 curved poles.

The Top Flex Pole Enclosure System offering amazing stability and durability verses regular poles, in addition to 90 ultra-bounce heavy duty galvanized 7" springs for bursting strength and maximum bouncing! Pole foam sleeves are made of strong vinyl material for added comfort and protection.

The safety pad which protects the jumper from falling on the steel frame or getting hurt from the springs is constructed of strong and high quality material with 450g PVC on top, 310g PE on bottom and 1/2" foam thickness EPE. High quality safety enclosure net has the perfect height with dual closure entry with zipper and buckles which gives forth a 100% assurance that youre safe. Heavy duty premium polypropylene mesh material for the jumping mat has 8 row stitching which provides extra security that prevents the mat from tearing and guarantee to be enjoyed for many years!

Gadgets for Guys Gift Guide

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Got any men in your life who say something about the thermostat eeeevery time they see it? It's either way too hot or way too cold no matter what it is set at!!!

Now what if I told you there was a gadget that not only told you temperature, but also humidity and details about how much air pollution was in your home? That's Foobot, and it's perfect for any man on your list this year! We all know how much guys like home gadgets!

Few know it, but indoor air pollution is much more important to monitor than temperature. The reason is that indoor air pollution is often up to eight times as bad as outdoor pollution, because your walls hold in fumes from cooking, cleaning, perfume, etc. It can lead to headaches and being tired in the short term, and in the long term, do serious damage to your health.

Foobot lights up blue or orange based on how healthy your air is, gives you details about the pollution and tips on how to solve it. It'll help you learn to take care of pollution, like knowing when to open the window, run a purifier or take it easy on the cologne. And for the real gadget fan, it can even connect to smart devices to automatically turn on air filters or run your ventilation when it gets bad.

You can purchase Foobot for $199.99 from the Foobot website. 

And any guy that likes gadgets has most certainly heard all about virtual reality. Thing is, it's actually pretty hard to get into the hobby. The headsets are pretty expensive so your favorite guy is probably missing out.

But now there is Homido and their Homido V2 headset. It works by inserting your smartphone (iPhone or Android) and loading up one of 1,000 apps, that their free Homido Center app helps you find. Then you place the lightweight, comfortable, headset on your head and play VR games, watch videos in 360° and lots of other cool stuff. This video pretty much sums it up:

The BEST news? The headset is under $80 so you don't have to break the bank this holiday season! Give the man of your life hours and hours of VR fun with nothing more than this headset and their phone!

You can purchase the Homido V2 headset for $77.59 from the Homido website.

If you have a fisherman on your gift list this year, consider gifting them the iBobber, the first fish-finding device to utilize Bluetooth Smart and sonar technology giving fishing enthusiasts a clear and reliable way to spot their next catch!

iBobber also includes a Waterbed Mapping mode, illustrating the contour and structure of the waterbed, helping fishers avoid potential snags underwater, target fish more efficiently and see where that “bruiser” may be hiding.

iBobber is lighter, smaller and has a longer battery life compared to other related products on the market.

Currently iBobber works with smartphones and tablets using Bluetooth Smart 4.0 that support iOS (Apple) 6.0, 7.0, and 8.1 operating systems, and phones and tablets for Android that run v4.3 and later. This includes iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 and 6 series, iPad 3 & 4,and Mini, and phones and tablets for Android that run v4.3 and later.

• Trip Log: capture the day’s adventure with details such as date, time, location, conditions, type of fishing (spin, fly, bait, etc.), types of lures used as well as number of fish caught, what kind, how big and more!
• Actionable information: keep track of the most successful spots with GPS-tag location, fish and strike alarms, weather logs and lunar calendar
