Road Trip Gear Part 1


.
Now that summer is here, road trip season has begun in earnest. We've got so many items that'll make your road trip adventure easier and more fun to tell you about that we've had to break the list in two! Let's get started!

Nabee Compression Socks
When it comes to compression socks, most travelers know that they should be worn on long flights to help keep legs and feet healthy and comfortable. But they can also be utilized on land-based road trips where a lengthy drive might be involved. Nabee Compression Socks are of medical quality, feature graduated compression and are made of super soft material that is comfortable to wear all day. And unlike most compression socks that are only available in beige or black, Nabee offers a range of exciting designs, like the stars-and-stripes of the Freedom version. Other fun patterns include Shamrock, Cotton Candy, Bubblegum, Bubbles, various stripes designs and 11 choices of solid colors. And since these were designed by nurses, there's even an EKG design! So you'll look totally cool while fighting leg swelling, spider and varicose veins and overall pain and soreness. https://nabeesocks.com/collections/compression-socks

The U-Stand
Heading to the beach and wish there was a convenient way to utilize your beach umbrella? Now having shade anywhere is easy with the U-Stand. The U of course stands for umbrella, and you will need to have your own beach umbrella to pair with the U-Stand. The U-Stand is a sturdy portable base that, when filled with sand (about 90 lbs.) or water (about 60 lbs.) or ice and cold drinks (about 50 lbs.) will hold your umbrella in place while you relax beneath it. Very easy to set up, the U-Stand weighs only four pounds empty, comes with a carrying strap, and has four drink holders. When set up properly the U-Stand can withstand winds up to 40 MPH. Available in numerous colors. https://www.theustand.com/

Hasty Baker Card Game
Whether your road trip finds you staying in an RV, a motel room or a rustic cabin, there'll come a time of day when you're ready to relax and reflect on the day's adventure while also keeping the fun going. If you've got half an hour or so you've got time to play Hasty Baker, a "deliciously fun" card game for two to six players. All about gathering the "ingredients" to "make" recipes like berry cheesecake, chocolate chip cookies, cream puffs, donuts or even a "create your own" recipe, players race to be the first to earn five points by drawing and discarding various cards. There's some sneakiness in play here too; there's a way that players can steal another player's ingredient, take two cards from another player or deem a particular ingredient spoiled and therefore unusable. And if you're lucky enough to draw the Hasty Baker card, you get two additional actions for that turn. Hint: The Hasty Baker Card Game will have you craving some dessert for real, so maybe take some cookie dough along with you, and make some cookies between rounds of the game. Family fun from GoChuckle. https://hastybaker.com/
