Unlike everyday socks which do little to encourage circulation and reduce discomfort during travel, these are the Italian-made socks designed for gradual compression to stimulate blood flow through the legs and feet. Though suitable for everyday wear, they are ideal for maintaining comfort during long periods of immobility through air, rail, and automobile travel which can result in reduced circulation, leading to swelling, pain, and a risk of deep vein thrombosis. The machine-washable latex-free Coolmax/Lycra/nyl on material keeps feet dry and retains elasticity and compression through dozens of washings. Please specify Black or Khaki. Unisex sizes S (Women's 4-7), M (Women's 7 1/2-11, Men's 6 1/2-9 1/2), or L (Men's 10-13). (3/4 oz.)

Every stitch in this handmade women's cardigan was made in one of the last surviving woolen mills in the world. Artisans working near Donegal process the fleeces shorn from locally raised sheep into fine, cream-colored yarn that, when spun, retains its natural oils, resulting in a water-resistant fabric that insulates the wearer against cold, blustery weather. Originating among the fisherfolk of Ireland's west coast, the Aran honeycomb and basket stitch patterns evoke images of the hardworking bee and the fisherman who wishes for a bountiful catch. The cardigan has seven buttons and two front pockets. Imported from Ireland. Women's sizes S, M, L, XL. (1 3/4 lbs.)

Unlike lesser binoculars with fixed focus cameras, these 8X magnification binoculars use special focusing technology that sharpens subjects simultaneously on its integrated 5 megapixel digital camera, ensuring clear images and video. They have fully multi-coated, 30mm objective lenses and use a Bak-4 prism system for superior optical performance, yielding a 320' field of view at 1,000 yards. The eye relief allows them to be used while wearing glasses. Once you've taken a photo, it's easy to review pictures on the 1 1/2" color flip-up LCD. Its replay feature continuously records the last eight to 60 seconds of video, so you can review footage to capture a photograph of quick, precise events. The built-in 16 MB internal memory stores up to 15 pictures at 2560 x 1920 resolution or 20 seconds of continuous video at 640 x 480 resolution at 15 frames per second.

This leather recliner elevates your feet above your heart, a supine seating posture developed by NASA to reduce stress and facilitate oxygen and blood flow throughout astronauts' bodies during take-off. The fully reclined position alleviates spinal pressure and encourages proper spinal alignment and posture. A whisper quiet motor reclines the chair at the touch of a lever, allowing you to sit back and relax while the chair gracefully slides from upright to fully reclined in less than 15 seconds. The buttery-soft, genuine leather upholstery covers the entire chair (including the armrests), a 3" padded headrest provides ideal head and neck support, and the chair's 4"-thick high-density foam cushioning contours to the body for optimal comfort. The chair's base is hand-carved by skilled wood workers from 100% renewable parawood (one of the strongest woods on earth), and is hand-sanded and stained. A powder-coated steel frame ensures years of durable use, and the nickel-plated guide rails enable smooth reclining. Specify Walnut, Dark Walnut, or Maple base and Black or Cognac upholstery. 42 1/2"-62" L x 31 1/2" W x 48 1/2" H. (81 lbs.)

This weather- resistant digital camera detects motion and automatically snaps pictures of birds or other wildlife. When the 1.3 megapixel camera senses motion within its 9" x 12" field-of-view, it instantly captures up to 20 pictures in 20 seconds. The camera mounts to windows, walls, posts, or trees (mounting accessories provided). You can pan and tilt the camera up to 15\u00B0 and the touch of a button projects a laser beam that shows where pictures will be taken, providing a reliable guide for directing the camera at birdbaths or bird feeders. The lens can be focused at 5', 6 1/2' or 10' away from your subject, ensuring clear photographs. The camera automatically enters a "sleep" mode when no motion is detected and shuts off at night, conserving energy for more optimal shooting conditions.

These bars of soap are made using 100% natural lanolin culled from wool fat, renowned for keeping the hands of sheep shearers and wool sorters exceptionally soft since the early 1900s. Lanolin in sheep's wool acts as a natural barrier to water, helping to keep the sheep dry. When used in soap, it helps skin retain its natural moisture and softness--ideal for those with dry skin. Free of the harsh chemicals, artificial colors, and sulfates in typical soaps that can irritate skin, the pure lanolin soap produces a rich lather that cleans deep into pores without removing your skin's natural oils. These extra large bars are tripled milled, a special process that adds density to the soap so it will last longer. Set of three. (5 1/3 oz.)

Unlike lesser microdermabrasion devices that discharge loose crystals and cannot be used around the eyes or mouth, this model has fixed diamond tips for use anywhere on the face. The wand's diamond tips gently abrade and exfoliate the skin and minimize the appearance of age spots and enlarged pores. A vacuum integrated into the wand removes dead skin cells and stimulates blood circulation throughout the face, facilitating collagen and elastin cell production and producing softer, younger-looking skin. A study performed by The Mount Sinai Medical Center proved that the diamond tipped microdermabrasion system diminished fine lines, wrinkles, and blemishes in nearly all patients who used the device twice a week. A comfort control knob provides five sensitivity levels. Includes four diamond tips (two for normal skin and two for sensitive skin). For use twice a week in 10 minute intervals. Plugs into AC. 9 1/2" H x 8" W x 8" D. (3 lbs.)

This is the lightweight brace for plantar fasciitis sufferers that gently pulls the toes back while you sleep to help relieve heel and foot pain and promote healing. Unlike bulky "night splints," the brace slips on like a sock and is held in position by a 2"-wide hook and loop fastener. An adjustable strap lifts the toes up slightly to stretch the plantar fascia ligament throughout the night. The brace's material provides gentle compression to reduce inflammation, and utilizes a patented lining that captures your naturally generated body heat to increase circulation and accelerate the healing process. But unlike other products, it allows your skin to breathe and remain comfortably dry. The non-slip sole assures good traction should you need to get up during the night. Hand wash. Universal design fits on either leg. Please specify unisex sizes XS (3-5), S (6-7), M (8-10), L (11-12), XL (13-14), XXL (15+). (3 1/2 oz.)

This is the advanced robotic sweeper with two heavy-duty brushes that rotate 1,000 times per minute to pick up woodchips, leaves, nuts, bolts, dirt, and more from indoor or outdoor surfaces. Ideal for use in garages and basements and on patios and decks, the unit navigates across surfaces autonomously, sweeping debris toward its high capacity dustbin that is 20% larger than previous models. Made by iRobot, a company founded by roboticists and renowned for its tactical robots used in U.S. military reconnaissance missions, the robotic sweeper has a sensor that redirects it before encountering workbenches, cars, stairs, or ledges. The device begins to clean at the touch of a button and its rugged rubber wheels and swiveling front caster enable optimal cleaning on concrete, wood, or tile floors. Includes AC charger. 3" H x 13" Diam. (6 1/2 lbs.)

These are the fleece-lined waterproof gloves and socks that keep extremities dry and warm down to temperatures as low as -30 F. The socks, also lined with the same fleece, have a patented in-cuff seal that keep feet dry even when submerged. Used by the U.S. military, both the gloves and socks have an outer layer of nylon/Lycra for durability and a comfortable stretch fit, a waterproof middle layer, and an inner layer of expedition- weight, double-velour Polartec fleece that wicks away moisture. The wrist-high gloves conform to your hand easily without stretching and have textured grips for better handholds. Made in the U.S. Black. Gloves. Sizes S (8-9 1/2), M (9-9 1/2), L (9 1/2-10 1/2), and XL (10 1/2-11 1/2). (4 1/2 oz.)

This is the Best Travel Steamer, selected for its superior wrinkle removal after rigorous testing by the Hammacher Institute. Tested on a variety of garments, including a silk scarf, 100% cotton button-up shirt, rayon blouse, 100% wool pants, and a suit jacket, it scored significantly higher than the nearest competing steamer for removing unwanted creases, preserving the unique look and feel of each fiber. Made by Jiffy, this 600-watt steamer produced 178\u00B0 F steam in 2 1/2 minutes that lasted for 17 minutes--longer than any of the other tested models and 10\u00B0 F higher than the nearest competing model.

Plugs into AC with 8' cord. 5 3/4" L x 3 1/4" W x 10 1/2" D. (1 1/2 lbs.)

This is the paper towel holder that dispenses a sheet with a wave of your hand, preventing cross contamination and conserving paper. When the dispenser's infrared sensor is activated, it advances the roll until its optical scanner recognizes the sheet's perforations. It then holds down the paper towel for you to tear off with one hand, preventing germs from being transferred to the unused sheets and keeping the roll from unraveling. The dispenser can be set to advance one sheet, two sheets, or even perforated half-sheets. Requires four C batteries that power the unit for up to one year. Red, Silver or White. 8 1/2" L x 5 1/2" W x 15 1/2" H. (2 1/4 lbs.)

This convection oven earned the highest marks from the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute because it quickly cooked pizzas, cookies, and Cornish hens and maintained a constant cooking temperature. During tests, the oven roasted Cornish hens until the skin was golden brown and the meat was tender and juicy. Unlike lesser models that left frozen pizzas undercooked, this convection oven produced crisp pizza that was cooked evenly throughout, and the dual fans circulate air throughout the unit to eliminate hot and cold spots and decrease cooking times. During tests, its internal temperature varied only 5\u00B0 F, while other units fluctuated by as much as 16.5\u00B0 F, resulting in overcooked cookies. The 1 1/2' cu. oven was the largest of all models; its rotisserie spit accommodates up to a 12-lb. whole chicken and automatically rotates food as it cooks. The best convection oven reaches 500\u00B0 F, it has four cooking modes (bake, convection bake, broil, and rotisserie), and a 120-minute timer. Made from rugged stainless steel with a tempered glass door, the oven promises years of reliable cooking. 14 1/4" H x 23 1/2" W x 21 1/4" D. (58 lbs.)

Winner of the Dr. Toy Best Children's Vacation Products award, this is the building block set that allows children to construct limitless geometric structures while promoting the development of spatial reasoning skills.

Simply add ground coffee to the press pot or fill the infusing basket with loose-leaf tea to brew authentic French press coffee or steep rich, robust tea. The station's digital timer allows you to quickly set your preferred steeping time and it beeps when your beverage is ready to drink. A warming plate under the press pot keeps brewed beverages hot. The press pot and the tea basket are dishwasher safe; kettle is hand-wash only. Station plugs into AC. 15" L x 9 1/4" W x 9" H. (7 1/4 lbs.)

Encased in each of these cufflinks is an authentic, special-issue U.S. postage stamp that commemorates iconic American figures and symbols. The cufflinks are handmade with 10 karat gold-plated backs, and the original postage stamps are carefully laid onto the surface and sealed in an epoxy to preserve the color and quality of each stamp for generations. Choose from two cancelled stamps, the 1947 DC-4 Skymaster or the 1958 Statue of Liberty, that may have cancellation marks and color variances from their travels, or mint-condition Mickey Mantle stamps, issued in 2006 as part of the Baseball Sluggers series to commemorate the "Commerce Comet's" storied career with the N.Y. Yankees. Th e Statue of Liberty was released to celebrate the 72nd anniversary of France's gift to the U.S. and the DC-4 Skymaster was the first U.S. Airmail coil stamp and the last to feature a corporate logo or product. Please specify Mickey Mantle, Statue of Liberty, or DC-4 Skymaster. (1 oz.)

This steam-cleaning vacuum earned the best rating from the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute because it quickly removed grape juice, ketchup, and potting soil from carpets and upholstery. It has a 13" wide cleaning path (the widest of all models tested) and uses steam, a mild detergent, and six powerful rotating brushes to remove deeply imbedded stains. Unlike competing models that only partially removed stains and saturated carpets with a soapy residue, the best steam cleaner lifted every last drop of grape juice and coffee and left behind minimal moisture. Its upholstery tool has a rotating brush that was gentle on fabric yet quickly removed coffee stains from an upholstered chair, unlike a lesser model that damaged the fabric as it cleaned. Scoring highest for ease of use, the best steam-cleaning vacuum only requires that you fill it with water, add the included detergent, and select the type of surface you are cleaning with the touch of a button. It automatically combines the correct amount of cleaning solution and water for optimal stain removal and even cleans hard-surface floors. Plugs into AC. 44" H x 13 1/4" W x 19" D. (27 1/3 lbs.)

Available only from Hammacher Schlemmer, this is the remote controlled personal watercraft that can skim across the water while executing tight turns to negotiate waterborne obstacles or race other boats. The sleek hull cuts through the water with minimum resistance while its dual propellers engage the water just below the surface for optimum thrust, providing speeds up to 12 mph in ideal flat-water conditions. The pistol-grip remote's triggers provides throttle control for both propellers, and during turns, a wheel reduces power to either propeller for vectored thrust, resulting in responsive, tight left or right turns up to 50 yards away. The rechargeable battery provides 10 minutes of operation from a four-hour charge using the included AC adapter. Includes eight AA batteries and boat stand. Ages 14 and up. 18 1/2" L x 11" W x 7 1/4" H. (2 3/4 lbs.)

The only resource of its kind, this oversized book presents 1,037 of the world's most outstanding 21st century architectural designs with 2,500 color photographs, 2,100 schematic drawings, and essays written by experts in the field of architecture. Each building was selected by a panel of designers, architecture curators, and historians, resulting in an unprecedented collection that includes the Beijing National Aquatics Center (the Water Cube from the 2008 Summer Olympics) and lesser-known masterpieces like Too Tall Teahouse, a 67' sq. tea hut built around three massive logs and suspended 20' above the ground in Chino, Japan. The essays detail the design and construction methods used to build each edifice and explore the structures' geographical contexts. Fifty specially commissioned maps and data researched by the London School of Economics allow you to compare the cost, size, and geographical coordinates of each structure. Published by Phaidon Press, renowned publishers of visual art books for 75 years, the book organizes the buildings into six world regions and has extensive indexes that enable easy cross- referencing.

(1 3/4 oz.)

This lightweight bathrobe uses untwisted cotton yarn that provides the same absorbent benefits of heavier terry cloth robes that use bulkier, twisted yarn. Made from 100% cotton harvested from Turkey's Denzili region, famous for growing the world's finest cotton, the "hydrocotton" in these robes uses only 370 grams of fabric per square meter with a 35 warp and 12 weft per inch to absorb water quickly, unlike heavier robes that use 640 grams of fabric per square meter. Its durability is reinforced by polyvinyl alcohol, a special synthetic yarn that strengthens the fabric during construction, resulting in a highly absorbent yet lightweight garment. This kimono-style robe's delicate, soft hand is provided by the waffle-weave pattern. Generously sized to allow for ease of movement and shrinkage after repeated washings (dry flat instead of tumble dry). Sizes S (Men's 42; Women's 6-8), M (Men's 44; Women's 10-12), L (Men's 46; Women's 14-16), XL (Men's 48, Women's 18-20). (2 lbs.)

After rigorous testing by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute, this commuter cup proved to be the best because it is the easiest to drink from and does not leak, even when inverted. It received top marks when analysts were able to turn the commuter cup upside down and shake it vigorously without a single drop escaping. When the button on the lid is pressed, you can sip from anywhere on the rim, eliminating the need to locate a narrow spout when driving. The commuter cup's dual wall design and vacuum insulation ensure optimal temperature retention while preventing the transfer of heat or cold to the exterior.

In cold retention tests, the temperature of ice water increased by only 8\u00B0 F after two hours, while other models allowed the water temperature to increase by as much as 28\u00B0 F. The commuter cup's handleless, slim design ensures ease of portability and allows for use in a car's cup holder. Made from 18/8 stainless steel; 17 oz. capacity. Includes a carrying case and a stainless steel filter for steeping loose-leaf tea. 9 1/4" H x 3" Diam. (13 oz.)

This is the most realistic wreath in the world, professionally strung with the best lights available, guaranteed for life. Only available from Hammacher Schlemmer, the wreath is molded from a live Abies procera, or Noble fir, considered one of the most desired holiday wreaths for its deep blue-green color and symmetrical branch pattern. The actual branches of a Noble fir were used in the polyethylene injection- molding process to replicate the exact growth patterns and distinct, short, wide, and rounded needle tips of the original wreath. Its shape is so realistic, and its needles are so soft, that it was mistaken for a live specimen by tree farmers. Unlike other wreaths that have light strands which fail immediately when one bulb ceases to work, this wreath has strands of advanced integrated circuit lights that withstand the failure or removal of multiple bulbs, ensuring bright, clear, reliable lighting year after year, backed by the rather famous Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee of Complete Satisfaction. All light strands are professionally strung, making the cords practically invisible against the branches. Flame- and crush-resistant for years of use and storage, the needles on the wreath are mixed with PVC tips to soften the overall look and feel of the wreath and to add dimension to its layers. Please specify Clear or Multi-colored lights. 100 lights and 335 tips. Plugs into AC with a 36" cord. 36" Diam. (4 1/2 lbs.)

This memory foam wedge elevates your legs to improve blood circulation, helping to relieve lower back pain, leg cramps, and muscle spasms as you lie supine. Unlike a stack of pillows that requires repeated readjustment and does not provide proper support, the unit has an insert that adjusts from 5" to 9" high and a memory foam surface that contours to the shape of your legs, ensuring proper, constant support throughout the night. The hypoallergenic leg support quickly reverts to its original shape when not in use, ensuring it will neither sag nor settle. The washable antimicrobial cover is made of breathable Coolmax that wicks away moisture. 11" H x 20" W x 25" L. (2 lbs.)

Unlike pet flaps that require you to cut a hole in your door, this patio door insert provides unrestricted passage for your pet yet attaches securely with just a screwdriver.

A security lock installs easily to prevent the door from being opened from the outside; the pet opening may be locked from the inside. A weatherstrip and rubber bumper ensure a tight, yet flexible seal between your fixed and sliding door, and the insert can be removed easily for off-season storage. Adjusts from 77 5/8" to 80 3/8" high to fit all standard patio door openings. Minimal assembly. White. Small. Pet opening: 7" H x 5" W. Door insert: 9 1/2" W x 3/4" D x 80 1/2" H. (13 lbs.)
