February Vacation With DealDash

 

 

Do you have school aged kids? If you do, you are either excited or dreading February vacation. If you are planning a trip, look to DealDash for some inspiration.

If you’re still reading, I assume that means that you have school aged children. In my county our February vacation is later on this month, the week of the 21st, which also coincidentally is my (and also my husband’s!) birthday. So we look forward to February vacation, since the kids are off of school for the week we always get to take a trip for our birthdays. I know some people don’t look forward to February vacation, though, so let’s look to DealDash and see what sorts of things we can use on February vacation.

If you’re heading out on a trip for February vacation, of course you are going to need luggage, or maybe just some smaller travel bags for a weekend trip. Well, DealDash has you covered on both of those items! If you go to this link here, you will find all sorts of different luggage and travel bags that you can use for your trip.

If you happen to be going somewhere warm with a beach area, how about a fun family activity? DealDash has many different types and styles of metal detectors. I remember how much fun I had when I was a kid and my family would go to the beach and use the metal detector together and find all sorts of great stuff in the sand. If you and your family haven’t tried using a metal detector together, give it a try, it’s lots of fun! Check out the metal detectors at this link here.

Finally, how about doing some bird, whale, or animal watching on your February vacation? Kids of all ages love animals, and it’s so fun to see how excited they are when you get to see the animals in their natural environment. No matter if you’re going to a distant location or just staying in your own neighborhood animal watching with binoculars is great fun for kids and adults alike. DealDash has many different choices of binoculars to choose from at this link here.

Always remember the great part of DealDash – if you aren’t the winner, you can always BIN (Buy it Now), get all of your bids back, and get free (and fast) shipping on your item. Remember, if you have ever “over bid” just hit the BIN button, pay retail price for the item, and DealDash will when refund all of the bids you used on that item, and you can try again another day.

 

So if you would like to get some things for your February vacation check out the auctions on DealDash. It’s a great way to get what you need and have a great time bidding as well. See you on DealDash everyone! Good luck and happy bidding.

 

HAPPY 4th of JULY from DealDash & Coleman

What activities do you think about when you think about the 4th of July? Grilling? Camping? All things outdoors?

Coleman has products for the whole family to enjoy the 4th of July together. Let’s start with grills! Do you ever travel to a relative’s house for the 4th of July only to find out that they don’t have a grill? Well, not to worry! Coleman makes an awesome portable grill that you can travel with. Be it to the relatives, tailgating, or camping, the Coleman Roadtrip LXX Grill is what you need for grilling on the go.

 

Speaking of camping, do you ever go camping on 4th of July weekend? One of my closest friends is going camping up in New Hampshire for the long weekend, and I told her about an awesome Coleman product that she HAS to pick up before she goes — The Grilltop Camping Coffeemaker! The camping coffeemaker is one of the best camping “luxuries” that I can think of,  camping coffeemaker the brews drip coffee just like you have at home, and it’s compatible with two- and three-burner camp stoves. You can also use the camping coffeemaker as a warmer for hot cocoa, hot cider or instant soup. The solid steel base can be placed atop a burner for delicious drip coffee without grinds, spills or messes. The Coleman Coffeemaker’s removable, swing-out filter basket lets you change out coffee flavor or customize coffee strength, just like you would at home.

If you’re going to be camping make sure you pick up some essential gear – Coleman has a great selection of sleeping bags, coolers, lanterns, and more! Make sure that you are getting the best items that you can easily afford, being comfortable out in the wild is priceless!

 

Camping isn’t everyone’s idea of a fun 4th of July, of course. If your idea of fun centers more around home than the wilderness then you could give the Coleman Back Home 12’x10′ Instant Screened Canopy a try. It’s a great portable shelter that is very easy to set up and takes less than three minutes to assemble. It’s great for an afternoon at the lake, tailgating at the football game, or even just in your backyard at home. Worried about eating your 4th of July hot dogs and burgers amidst the bees and bugs? The Coleman Canopy comes with an accessory screen that protects you from insects and dust – now pass the burgers over!

 

 

 

If you’re ready to have a great 4th of July celebration at home or at a campsite, head on over to DealDash. There are great Coleman auctions starting soon. Be sure that you have enough bids in your account to stack your Bid Buddy up to the Buy It Now (BIN) price. Just remember, if you don’t win the auction you can always BIN the item and get all of your bids back instantly. Good luck and happy bidding everyone.

 

 

 

Enjoying the Outdoors with Ozark Trail

If you’re like me, you are planning some fun outdoors activities with your family this summer. Some of the best family trips I remember taking when I was a kid have something to do with camping!

Be it a full-on camping vacation or just a night out under the stars in your backyard, camping is great for making lasting memories with your family.  If you are looking for a great tent to get you started, try an Ozark Trail tent. Ozark Trail is a well-known brand name on the camping circuit, having been around for quite a while. Ozark Trail tents offer a range of tents for various camping purposes, which include among others differing sizes of cabin tents for the family camping trip such as the 4-Person Tunnel Tent or for those that require a little more space, try the Ozark Trail 10-Person Tent , a true family tent which offers spacious accommodation for large groups such as extended family and friends.

 

If you’re a camping “newbie” here are a few helpful hints and tricks to get you started in the right direction-

  • Make sure that you stay hydrated, Three to five quarts of water per day will prevent dehydration, which can cause headaches, nausea and muscle cramps.
  • Even if it’s hot during the day it can get chilly at night. Fill your water bottle with boiling hot water, wrap it in a towel, and put it in your sleeping bag a few minutes before you climb in. This makes for toasty warm sleeping quarters.
  • Practice pitching your tent before you leave. Even though  Ozark Trail brand tents are easy to assemble it will give you peace of mind to know that you can successfully pitch your tent before you leave for your trip.
  • If comfort is a must, consider a cot system and a larger tent. They require more room, but cots paired with pads and a sleeping bag can make for a wonderful night’s sleep.
  • If cots aren’t your thing, be sure to at least put a tarp on the ground before you pitch your tent, it will provide a slight cushion as well as protecting you from dampness.

Camping isn’t everyone’s passion, of course. If your idea of fun centers more around home than the wilderness then you could give Ozark Trail‘s Express Canopy a try. It’s a great portable shelter that’s easy to put up and take down. It’s great for an afternoon at the lake, tailgating at the football game, or even just in your backyard at home. My personal favorite use for the Express Canopy is in the backyard as a sun shade for my kids when they play outside in the summer. There’s nothing worse than cranky kids with sunburns, and the Express Canopy shades them from the sun but still let’s them play with all of the fun outdoor summer toys like the sandbox and water table.

 

It doesn’t matter if tent camping or a canopy in the backyard is more your style, I think that we can all agree that  Ozark Trail Chair or the Ozark Trail camping chair could be useful in both situations. They are both light, portable chairs that are weatherproof and comfortable to sit on. These chairs are great to stick in your trunk if you’re going to the beach. They fold almost flat like an umbrella and pop right open ready to sit on.

 

If you’re ready to explore the world (or just your own backyard!) Head on over to DealDash. There are great Ozark Trail auctions starting soon. Be sure that you have enough bids in your account to stack your Bid Buddy up to the Buy It Now (BIN) price. Just remember, if you don’t win the auction you can always BIN the item and get all of your bids back instantly. Good luck and happy bidding everyone.
