Konfidence Swim Jacket for Children

Designed specifically to aid swimming instruction, The Original Konfidence Jacket ($45) helps take the fear out of swimming by providing buoyancy in the water. A great alternative to minimally effective water wings and tubes, the Konfidence Jacket promotes correct swimming position and helps children achieve a face forward position in the water as they learn to paddle and kick. The eight removable floats provide maximum buoyancy when fully inflated and can be removed or partially deflated as the child becomes more confident in the water.

The Original Konfidence Jacket is constructed of high quality, durable neoprene shell with soft Lycra/Poly interior. The wetsuit grade neoprene and unique design assure that The Konfidence Jacket will stay in place and not ride up.

Hardwood Patio Chairs

Featuring a slightly reclined seat and arcing arms, this Strathwood Gibranta Arm Chair ($160) makes a comfortable and handsome addition to uber-boring space you call your backyard.  Two removable cushions add comfort and decorative appeal. The back cushion adjusts to give support high or low, where it’s needed. Corner ties secure the seat cushion to the frame so it won’t blow off in a strong wind. The ribbed design on the seat and back is both attractive and functional. The slats are far enough apart to allow rain water to fall through and dry out and close enough together to provide an even seating surface.

Crafted from durable, earth-friendly eucalyptus hardwood, this furniture is intended for outdoor use in all weather. A beautiful hardwood comparable to teak and with excellent weather-resistant properties, eucalyptus is dense and naturally resistant to rot and insect infestation.

Certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), there is no doubt about the responsible production and consumption of this wood. The rapid growth of eucalyptus trees makes them more readily available and more easily affordable. In addition, furniture constructed of eucalyptus is light enough to move easily and requires no oiling unless to maintain a desired look.

Obsessed With Reading? Kindle Yourself!

We know that even the best books are useless if you can’t read them… and with as many as 620,000 books at the palm of your hand, you can forget about your local library and escape to your very own backyard library with Kindle ($189) – the ultra-cool wireless reading device.

Sleek & Light

Simple to Use, No Computer Required

Unlike most electronic devices, the Kindle was built for tool sheds like yourself.  Kindle is wireless and ready to use right out of the box – no setup, no cables, no software to install, no computer required, no brain-usage, eye-balls not included.

Ergonomic Design

Kindle is easy to hold and read. We designed it with long-form reading in mind. Just be sure to put sunblock on during those long reading stretches…

Precise 5-Way Controller

Kindle has an easy-to-use 5-way controller, enabling precise on-screen navigation for selecting text to highlight or looking up words.  Trust us, these buttons are bigger than your Blackberries buttons.
