BHEESTIE Moisture Removal Bag                                    

This BHEESTIE is something of a wonder. What’s it do? Saves your electronic gizmo after its been dunked, doused or dipped in water. Or, even if it’s just been exposed to excess moisture from sweaty hands, fog or who-knows-what.

It removes moisture from personal electronics: cell phones, cameras, iPods®, watches, etc. The BHEESTIE bag™ is designed to help electronics function properly and prevent corrosion due to everyday moisture, or to save electronics after accidental soakings.

How’s it work? You turn the device off, drop it in the bag and seal it. The gizmo should dry overnight. The bag itself contains beads that absorb moisture by bonding with water.

The bags last about a year and, although there’s no guarantee that your electronic gizmo will be saved, this BHEESTIE may offer your best chance of having it survive.

The iPhone fits snuggly inside the Traveler, which folds protection while traveling. You flip the Traveler open and it makes a stand for browsing music, viewing photos and movies, or playing Podcasts. It’ll connect to Bluetooth, ear phones, or power adapters, as well.

The company makes Travelers for iPod Touch and Nano, as well.

A $20 Ski Rack

Now, here’s something novel—a $20 ski rack from a company calling itself Raxstars. All you need is a car with a roof rack equipped with cross bars.

The rack attaches to your vehicle’s luggage bars with a clamp and a hook. It carries a pair of skis and poles.

And, how about this: it not only goes on and off easily, but it can be stored in the glove compartment.

A carrier that functions with luggage racks without crossbars, and a snowboard carrier are in the works.
