Must-Have Waterproof Outdoor Tech for Active Families from Motorola Solutions

Specifically, the latest Motorola Talkabout T600 H20 two-way radios are ideal for water adventures when out of cell phone range. Two-way radios are important for communication and safety. These feature NOAA weather updates and alerts and the T600 H20 is completely WATERPROOF and FLOATS, so no need to worry if it accidentally falls off the boat when dad is fishing.

It also comes equipped with a handy water-activated flashlight, which includes a white and red LED (to preserve night vision.) I thought these would make great holiday gifts or for winter gear as we get into the winter months. These are perfect for skiing, fishing, hiking, camping and the weekend trip to the cabin.

Festive Chocolate fix

A sweet chocolate treat for the kiddies will ensure smiles all round


When it comes to gift giving, chocolate is a no-brainer, right? Add to that an element of fun and entertainment and you have the perfect present. As quirky as it is cool, the much-loved Doctor Chocolate Original – decadent hazelnut chocolate in syringe-style packaging – ticks all the boxes. Ideal as a stocking filler or a special occasion sweet treat, Doctor Chocolate promises to bring smiles to young and old.

3 easy ways to entertain your children this holiday season

1. Chalk fun

A pack of coloured chalk, a driveway or outside wall and a wild imagination = hours of creative play. Get the kiddies to let out their inner artists on a large scale. When you’re done, just wash off the chalk with hot soapy water.

2. Head to the local library

Spend an hour or two at your local library, browsing and reading books with your kids, and then borrow a couple for home. Most libraries have story hours and other fun activities during the school holidays, so enquire beforehand to plan.

3. Get baking

There’s not much kids love more than baking. Rustle up some cupcakes or biscuits and take them to the next level by decorating or filling them with Doctor Chocolate Original’s hazelnut deliciousness.
