Also from Guide Lights and Gadgets:

"THE TOUGHEST PHONE CASE IN AMERICA;"

This is the name our motorcycle accessories partner gives this case, and, yes, there are no better judges of toughness than bikers! This heavy-duty case is constructed of premium cowhide, and it is semi-rigid in design.

This means the compartments hold their shape. It has two main full-width compartments that open horizontally, and a half-height zipper compartment on one side. It Comes with a shoulder/crossbody strap and built-in loops for attaching to belt, pack, or purse. The case is big enough to accommodate a 6.75-inch phone and also has room for a Victor Stream, wallet, and accessories. Retails for $25.

TALKING OXIMETER; An oximeter measures blood oxygen absorption level as a percentage. This measurement became very important during COVID 19, but there was simply not a good quality talking unit on the market. This oximeter, however finally meets the needs of blind consumers, providing accurate readings with clear and accurate speech. This medical-grade unit takes only 30 seconds for a measurement.

Retails for $50.

RFID ZIP-AROUND LEATHER WALET.

This wallet meets great expectations!

(1) It has a zipper that goes entirely around the wallet, which means that it stays closed and nothing will fall out;

(2) It has true RFID protection, not just those "paper" sleeves that are always falling out of too many "RFID" products;

(3) It is deep enough to hold bills securely in two compartments;

(4) It has plenty of credit card card slots;

(5) It is fashion-appropriate for both men and for women.

Retails for $35.

But wait! There’s more!

Inside that wallet is a crisp $50 bill

And! Also included in this bag,  “Wait for it”!

A mini bottle of Johnny Walker Blue Label.
