Who doesn't like nostalgia stuff like the Nintendo? The NES Classic Edition ($60) gives you all the nostalgia with none of the hassle. Arriving in November, it's a miniature of the real thing, packing about 30 games into a small palm-sized box — including all three Marios, both Zeldas, a couple Castlevanias, Metroid, Punch-Out (sadly minus Mike), and Tecmo Bowl. It connects to your TV via HDMI, and its controller can be hooked to a Wii Remote for use with Virtual Console games.

Check out this innovative tree house that can be easily hanged, installed, and removed without any negative impact on the environment. Trees & People created the first platform glamping (glamor camping) tree house without any impact to the trees and their environment. DOM'UP is an economical and ecological alternative to tree houses, and meets a growing demand for unusual nights in a natural environment. Check out more information on here.

Here is a really neat little product. The Plume Wi-Fi System does away with this paradigm of distributing your Wi-Fi completely, using a series of tiny Pods scattered throughout your house to ensure coverage, and shifting the routing duties to the cloud. As a result, it's able to respond to varies demands and conditions, optimizing the network in real-time to deliver maximum performance. They don't look too shabby either, in champagne, silver, or black, so unlike that old router, you don't need to hide these behind your desk. They are currently only available for pre-orders for 6 minimum pods for $39 each, so about $234 for all 6 plumes which work great for 2 to 3 bedroom homes.

There seems to never be enough chairs or table space at gatherings. I think having a few Briefcase Picnic Tables would do the job. This outdoor picnic table can be folded and transformed into a briefcase for easy storage and transportation. It's made with lightweight and durable aluminum frame. You can get one on Amazon for about $68.

• Folds compactly for easy storage or transport
• Constructed of high impact wood top, it has an aluminum alloy frame for durability
• Lightweight yet heavy duty
• Combination of aluminum and steel parts for lighter weight and stronger construction
• Tabletop size: 33 1/2"l x 28 1/2"w x 26 1/2"h

I'm sure this will be in my home. The convenience of always-on voice controls meets the power of the world's biggest search engine in Google Home. Like Amazon's Alexa, the Google Assistant lets you ask questions, set times, and control internet devices using your natural language. It also supports Google Cast, meaning you can play songs on any Cast-enabled speaker (including the Home itself), link them together for whole-home audio, and even pick out and start watching TV shows using nothing but your voice. Interchangeable bases let you match the device to your decor, and since developers are getting a look at it months before its official debut, you can count on it having a few surprise features when it launches later this year.

Hermanns company has started the wooden surfboard collection and they're looking for backers on Kickstarter. They want to revive the original Surf-Spirit and to search for an alternative to environmentally harmful material. Why? Because conventional surfboards and how they were constructed are hazardous wastes which can never decompose - not even in a thousand years. So check out these beautiful boards and check out more about the company here.
