Here are some of the neatest toys for holiday gifts for your family, friends or just for yourself. A sample of these gadgets is always first used and abused for several months in my travels to make sure they hold up. I like to find unique products that are simple and useful for paddling, camping and safety.
The first is the light cap water bottle. I've used these for festivals, camping and night paddling. The solar panel chargers the LED during the day to give two different colored lights-red and white. The light is bright enough to find your way down a dark trail or light a tent enough for a card game. Really cool GREEN product!

The second item are paddled grips from Yak Grips. They work great on shovels, rakes, and kayak paddles. The non-slip neoprene grips will protect from blisters and slivers. Easy to install and useful for much more than just paddling!
Finally, my favorite gift idea out there. The wind up flashlights come with various cell phone adapters for charging your cell phone. The FM radio, cell charger, siren, and 3 LEDs all charge off the hand crank. Everyone should have one of these in their car this winter.
