What's this?

Loungers, I need some help with our Amazon promos.

Christmas shopping season is almost upon is, and I really want to leverage our Amazon affiliation, which we previously haven't had on the site in November/December.

Click a TSL Amazon button, order from Amazon, we get a percentage, yada-yada-yada. It's been pretty good for us so far, but we want to kick it into high gear for Christmas shopping season.

One thing I want to do is promote specific products on Amazon. (We have the capability to link to individual products for our Amazon affiliation.)

So here's what I'm looking for from you: what have you bought on Amazon recently that is really cool, that the average person doesn't know about and might appreciate receiving as a gift?

I'll go first: the Halo Bolt Portable Charger & Car Jump Starter w/ LED Floodlight & Cell Phone Charger. Rather than carry jumper cables, carry something that can quickly and easily jump your car, plus do things like charge devices, provide power, etc. etc. My wife (no-SHUN rule) got one of these, and with 7 cars in the family, we often have trouble getting one or more of the older cars to start. This thing is super-handy, and the ladies love it because it means they can jump start their own car without having to ask some stranger to provide a jumper cable hookup.

(Caveat: don't buy it off Amazon; QVC sells them WAY cheaper. This is just an example off the top of my head.)

What have you bought on Amazon that you think would make a great gift and a good promo item for us?
