Maui Jim got its start in 1980 as a small company selling sunglasses on the beach in Lahaina, Hawaii. Seeing a need in the market for technology that could combat intense glare and harmful UV while bringing the brilliant colours of the island to life, we engineered the revolutionary PolarizedPlus2® lens. Incorporated into seven new sunglass styles, our Classic Collection was introduced. We now offer over 125 styles of sunglasses, 100% of which are polarized and protect from 100% of UVA and UVB rays.

Glider Gloves | Warm, Precise, 10 Finger Touch Response
Glider Gloves are the warmest touch screen compatible gloves for men and women. Made with a blend of conductive materials, you can enjoy amazing touch response along your entire hand and all 10 fingers. Glider gloves have so much accuracy and precision, your frozen fingers will warm up to the idea of touch, tap, text, pinch, and glide!
We are a Canadian company based in Toronto. Trust us, we know cold!
THE PROBLEM:
Traditional gloves are not compatible with a touch screen device which means no texting, typing, answering phone calls, etc. with gloves on.
WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN?
Capacitive touch screens work by passing a small current across their surface; when the user presses a finger to the screen, that current is altered and fluctuates. But with normal gloves, the user’s fingers are insulated, and the screen doesn’t register any fluctuations.
THE SOLUTION:
Glider Gloves touch screen friendly gloves are your best solution. We have added conductive yarns to the mix of materials allowing your body’s natural electric capacitance to pass through so that you don’t have to take your gloves off – a simple solution to a frustrating problem.
HOW TO USE GLIDER GLOVES:
Using Glider Gloves is as simple a putting your hand in a glove. The rest is science. Making use of the conductive yarns built into the glove, your body’s natural electric capacitance will now be able to pass through giving you freedom to touch and interact. Type emails in seconds, play Angry Birds with ease, use any part of your hand or finger almost as if you didn’t even have gloves on in the first place.

Imagine slipping into superbly-soft bamboo eco friendly fabric that keeps you cool in the summer, warm in the winter, is hyperallogenic, sweat and bacteria resistant, odour free and provides UV protection…
Introducing Boody Bamboo Eco Wear – the game-changing Australian brand of fashion underwear and outerwear, Meets the needs of women and men who want a fashionable garment that fits perfectly, Boody looks and feels fabulous, is healthy to wear and doesn’t ‘cost the earth’. It can be worn for travel, working out or for everyday comfort.
Boody fabric has been exclusively sourced and developed with up to 95% organic and chemical free bamboo yarn mixed with a touch of nylon and elastin to create a fabric that is soft, stretchy and wrinkle free. The seam free garments wash and wear beautifully, lasting much longer than cotton garments.
Boody is also hypoallergenic. The bamboo fibres naturally contain many micro-gaps which provide substantial ventilation and moisture absorption. It’s these micro-gaps in the yarn which make it highly breathable, helping you keep cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Bamboo fibre is hydroscopic – moisture is shunted away from the body and evaporated rapidly allowing your skin to breathe more easily. It’s also quick drying after washing, and durable – meaning that no matter how many times you wash and wear, bamboo lives on .
Bamboo thrives naturally without pesticides because it contains a super antifungal and antibacterial bio agent named Bamboo Kun. The most noticeable benefit is that Bamboo cloth is odour free – odour being an unpleasant by-product of bacteria proliferation. So Boody will keep you fresh all day every day.
Born in Australia, now loved worldwide, Boody bamboo fabric is renowned for its moisture absorbency, breathability and antibacterial qualities so it’s the perfect fit for you – and the planet.

WaterField Unveils the Ranger iPhone X Case—an Innovative Leather Holster for Active Professionals
See more at : www.sfbags.com/products/ranger-iphone-x-case
The unique magnetic systems really set the Ranger iPhone X case apart. You can strap the case onto a belt or just about anything else .
WaterField Designs unveils the Ranger iPhone X case: a slim, full-grain leather iPhone holster with an innovative fastener for enhanced security and hidden, rare-earth magnets to attach the case to belts, pants or straps. The quick-access Ranger is tough enough for trade workers on the job site and stylish enough for professionals at the office.
WaterField Designs, a leader in custom laptop sleeves, bags and cases for digital-minded professionals, announces the Ranger iPhone X Case, a leather iPhone holster with a modern upgrade worthy of the sophisticated iPhone X. The innovative Fidlock closure keeps the iPhone safeguarded inside, and strong, Neodymium rare-earth magnets securely fasten the case to clothing or straps. Both rugged and refined, the premium leather Ranger combines hands-free convenience with easy iPhone access, an ideal combination for active workers and professionals.
“The unique magnetic systems really set the Ranger iPhone X case apart,” explained company owner Gary Waterfield. “You can strap the case onto a belt or just about anything else — contractors to their work vests, surgeons to their scrubs, professionals to a suit or strap. It’s so versatile, and the full-grain leather gets better and better looking with use.”
Well-thought out details make the Ranger iPhone X case as functional as it is handsome:
Scratch-free Ultrasuede® lining adds cushioning and helps clean the iPhone screen as users insert and remove it from the case.
Bottom opening allows users to keep ear buds connected and keeps text and call notifications audible when the iPhone is inside the case.
Side openings provide easy access to volume and sleep buttons.
Tapered sides ease iPhone removal.
Front leather pocket can hold earbuds or cash and a key.
Self-finding, Neodymium rare-earth magnetic attachment system easily clamps on to clothing or straps and remains in place.
Fidlock fastener uses award-winning technology to secure flap: two strong magnets easily find each other for convenient, effortless closing; to open, users pull down leather tab to release a mechanical snap, enhancing security.
In black or chocolate naturally-tanned, full-grain leather that ages beautifully, the Ranger iPhone X Case pairs as well with workpants as it does with a suit.
The holster-style WaterField Designs Ranger iPhone X Case joins a collection of WaterField iPhone Cases that address an array of style and functionality preferences: the minimalist Suede Jacket, the Finn Wallet, the Cycling Ride and Cycling Club Pouches, and the new iPhone Camera Bag.

ABOUT NOGGINS
Noggins were created by an Occupational Therapist working in the field of Pediatrics. The selling of Noggins began as a small retail business in May of 2017. The idea came out of an observed trend that many children were positioning, grasping, and ultimately using scissors incorrectly. At first, the Noggins were magnets to be stuck onto scissor blades, and referred to as “Chompers”. After a series of transitions, and new designs, Noggins became the repositionable, butterflied stickers, seen today.
Nogginsland, Inc. now sells Noggins and other accessories, and delivers world class services and products. Children are welcome to Nogginsland, the beautiful world of Noggins, where your imagination runs free and becomes reality. Browse and enjoy our Noggins and accessories at the best possible prices.

Take children on a 13.7 billion year journey this Christmas www.whatonearthbooks.com/santa
Teaching children the history of the world needs to be an exciting, informative journey. This Christmas parents can take their children on a voyage through 13.7 billion years of history with over 5000 illustrations by purchasing this unique gift set – The What on Earth? Timeline Collection – for their inquisitive youngsters.
Forget boring facts and figures; The What on Earth? Timeline Collection brings world-changing events from the Big Bang to the Battle of the Somme to life through a trove of imaginative imagery and interactive activities, in a 3 or 6-book set.
From the 2-metre-long illustrated fold-out timelines (each featuring over 1,000 illustrations) to newspaper articles, quiz questions and crosswords, the What on Earth? Timeline Collection makes learning fun and memorable.
This unique series is the brainchild of author Christopher Lloyd and illustrator Andy Forshaw. Christopher is an author, educator, and historian, with a double first from Cambridge. Passionate about communicating the complexities of world history through visual timelines, Lloyd has sold over 1 million copies worldwide in 15 languages – there has even been an 18-part television adaptation in Japan. His Timeline series recently won the prestigious Parents’ Choice Foundation Gold Medal for Non-Fiction.
Central St Martins College graduate Andy, meanwhile, has contributed more than 5,000 hand-drawn and critically acclaimed designs to this exquisite gift set.
The What on Earth? Timeline Collection has been widely praised by parents, with one mum commenting: “This is a really impressive publication. To call it a book though might be a slightly misleading. In fact this is an intellectual “Where’s Wally”; the amount of information included is quite phenomenal.”
Covering 6 terrific topics:
The Big History Timeline Wallbook – the explosive history of the universe from the Big Bang to the present day
The Nature Timeline Wallbook – the incredible story of nature from the dawn of life

THIS NEW SUBSCRIPTION BOX WANTS TO HELP YOU RAISE FEMINIST KIDS
www.thelittlefeminist.com
The Little Feminist, a children’s book and activity subscription that focuses on diversity and gender equality, launches for pre-sales today.
“The Little Feminist started because, now more than ever, children of all genders and backgrounds must believe in their dreams. But if our kids don’t see heroes that look like them, it’s going to be hard for them to believe their dreams really are possible.” says Founder Brittany Murlas, who left her job as CMO of BabyList.com to start the company.
Of the children’s books published each year, just 31% have female central characters,[1] and in the last 5 years only 13% of children’s books feature a person of color.[2]
“Finding children’s books that feature a strong female or person of color is really hard, finding great stories among them is even harder. We do months of research so parents can take a break,” says Murlas.
Three and six month subscriptions are available for purchase at thelittlefeminist.com, and the first book box will ship in February. For those gifting a subscription, The Little Feminist offers a pop-out activity gift certificate that will arrive in time for the holidays.
About The Little Feminist
The Little Feminist is a children’s book and activity subscription box that focuses on diversity and gender equality, teaching 3-7-year-old girls and boys (yes, boys can be feminists too!) empathy and perseverance. Books-of-the-month are selected by a team of educators, librarians, and parents, who then create a suite of hands-on activities to accompany each book. Whether it’s treasure hunts or DIY musical instruments, the goal of the included activities is to make the stories come alive for both children and families. The Little Feminist boxes are $35, and shipping is free.

Classic Biography Of Santa Rediscovered
In Time For The Holidays
Nearly a century ago an accomplished magazine and newspaper reporter, Sarah Addington, wrote a special story for the popular magazine, The Ladies’ Home Journal. It revealed the backstory of how Santa Claus came to be. It was published as a book in 1922 but the classic eventually disappeared.
Available at Amazon on :- www.amazon.com/Boy-Who-Lived-Pudding-Lane
Now for the first time in years, a new generation will get to appreciate the creative and insightful tale as Pamela McColl’s Grafton & Scratch Publishers has re-released this charming book, The Boy Who Lived In Pudding Lane (October 2017).
“Families and children will really love the words and illustrations in this beautiful book,” says McColl. “The message is timeless, meaningful, and inspiring.”
Indeed, she knows about holiday classics. Five years ago she published a unique version of ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas. She released it with a few edits to the words and pictures, removing references to Santa smoking a pipe. The controversial smoke-free Santa was embraced by many and received national media coverage on The View, The Colbert Show, The Today Show and Live with Kelly and Michael. It also was featured in USA Today, Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, Associated Press, Vanity Fair, National Review, and the New York Post.
So why did Addington pen the Boy Who Lived in Pudding Lane?
“To shed light, then, on the life of a popular idol, shamefully neglected by historians, is the purpose of this little study, which has been carefully and scientifically compiled from original sources,” she wrote in 1921.
“This brief biography of a great hero, Santa Claus, is entered upon with the reverence due to the nature of the undertaking, and with the timidity that necessarily arises from the fact that it is breaking of new ground.
“Just why historians have, in all epic accounts, ignored probably the greatest international figure that ever existed, is a mystery to the author, for whom the antecedents, early life, and young manhood of Santa Claus have always been immensely fascinating. Nevertheless, the life of this great man has never been written.”
The original illustrations by Gertrude A. Kay have been restored and enlivened for the delight of children of all ages by award-winning designer Elisa Gutierez.
We come to discover:
• Santa’s tradition of giving toys to children on Christmas Eve began when Santa was just a boy.
• Santa weds Bessie, the niece of the candlestick-maker; the King and Queen attend the wedding.
• Santa, the son of a poor baker, used to give away the sweet cookies from his father’s shop.
• His wife helped him make toys and candy “until she said she thought she’d turn in to candy.”
• Santa’s mother made 12 red suits for him when he left to work in the North Pole, “each one a bit larger than the former one, for it was supposed that Santa would get just a little stouter each year.”
• Mother Goose lobbied the King on Santa’s behalf and the King agreed to financially sponsor his toy-making, in part because he “feels very much indebted to you for teaching the Queen to make tarts.” But he had to relocate to the North Country.
• Santa was always roly-poly, even as a boy.
• The first Christmas Santa displayed his talents was when he made toys for his siblings — two sets of twin boys, or as his mom called them – “the batches.”
“Addington wrote The Boy Who Lived in Pudding Lane to satisfy her curiosity, for she had to know where Santa Claus lived as a young boy and what his family was like, and how Santa got started in the enchanting pastime of toy-making and gift-giving,” says McColl. Thanks to Grafton & Scratch Publishers, this charming 1922 edition is now back in print for new generations to enjoy.
