Review: Hammacher Schlemmer - Digital Polaroid Camera

When I seen this company and was giving the chance to do a review, I thought it was going to be so hard to pick what I wanted. Because if you are looking for a great variety of high tech, unique gifts, Hammacher Schlemmer is the place to be.  There is a little something for everyone.  You will not find any higher quality gifts than you will with this company. The Hammacher Schlemmer website is very easy to use.  You can focus on the delight of the products.  Navigating around is very natural.  You can shop by many different occasions and categories.  Every product comes with a great picture and description of its function. 

The product that I picked to review is the Digital Polaroid Camera. I have never seen anything like this in stores it was great and I knew when I seen it, I had to have it. The camera prints the photos as your want them and the best part is the paper is a sticker. I was in heaven. I am photographer and I love my camera but this one is easier for me to grab and just snap a photo because it is not as big as my Canon. The camera came in real handy on Thanksgiving. Everyone that has seen my camera ask me where I got and of crouse I am quick to tell them all about Hammacher Schlemmer. There is a lot of stuff on this site that I would love to buy and I know I will be back many more time to this site. Hammacher Schlemmer will be my go to place for all my birthday and Christmas needs when it come to adults in my family. And hopefully my Halloween and Christmas stuff for next year. I love this time of year and they have lots of seasonal stuff for Christmas.
Here is a little bit about the camera:
Developed by Polaroid, inventors of the instant film camera, this is the digital camera that can shoot and print photos by itself. In less than a minute and without messy ink cartridges, the 10 megapixel camera's integrated printer produces vibrant 2" x 3" borderless color snapshots using patented paper embedded with colored dye crystals. The prints are smudge- and tear-proof, fade- and water-resistant, and have a peel-off backing for display as stickers. The compact camera has a 6X digital zoom, shoots video with audio, and can save files to an SD memory card up to 32 GB (sold separately). Before printing, images can be viewed and cropped on the 3" color LCD screen. Rechargeable lithium-ion battery charges in one hour using the included AC adapter. Includes USB cable and 10 sheets of paper. 4 3/4" x 3" x 1 1/2" (14 1/2 oz.)

The Truth's Thoughts:
I really was in a big "WOW" moment when I came across a chance to review these shoes. I have never seen anything like them before and was so ready to do this one. It was my first pair of shoes to review, and I am glad I did the best shoes. They are really cool how the tops of the shoes unzip from the sole, this is so you can change the style of the shoe a long with your clothes. You will always be able to make your shoes match your outfits with these shoe. The best part is you don't have to have 50 different pairs of shoes taken up space you don't have in the first place. Buy one pair of the Zipz Shoes then but different tips. DESIGN~ZIP~LOVE!!!!!! What a great motto or saying to go with these shoes. Always remember that saying when looking over their website. You can get high top, low top, or just slip on shoes. There is a shoes style and design to fit anyone from all ages both young and old.

Review & Giveaway: Humangear


We were given the 1.25 oz and 2 oz sizes as a gift. They are easy to fill and I really like the grippe  nonslip material they're made of--feels good in your hand, although it also collects lint and cat hair (no worries, that stuff washes right off with water). They come in tasteful pastel shades--very cool, sleek design. They're soft so it's super easy to squeeze out the contents, and there's a cool valve at the tip that shuts off the flow as soon as you stop squeezing  I've always hated how my previous travel containers get mucked up with gunk at the opening, and this valve seems to really stop that. So far they seem totally leak-proof  I also love the large opening - easy to pour stuff in. So far I have used them for shampoo and lotion. They have little selector dials on them so you can label the contents. The big size has a suction cup on it to stick it to the shower wall--works much better than we expected it to. The little size holds about a weekend trip's worth of shampoo/conditioner etc. and is nice and light for backpackers.
