Available in four vibrant colors, these joy-rides are designed for durability, speed and ageless enjoyment. Made in the USA utilizing sustainable practices, the Retro Racer is more than just a sled – it's a resurrected winter tradition, sure to become an heirloom that sparks adventure and creates cherished memories.

WeatherTech – (Floor Liners)

For vehicle owners facing snowy winters, muddy springs and endless summer excursions - an award-winning automotive protection system.

WeatherTech is proud to manufacture superb quality American-made products that support the economy, prioritize the environment and ensure safety. Founded by David MacNeil in 1989, WeatherTech began with a desire to improve existing floor mats, which lead to the development of a superior, tougher floor shield. Today, the company continues to thrive with a team of designers and engineers who design customizable solutions crafted from the highest-quality materials.

Laser measured for a perfect fit to contour the front, side and back of your car's flooring, these rubber-like floor mats provide coverage over carpet and vinyl. The bottom includes a grippy underside to avoid friction or shifting. An advanced top surface pattern helps catch and trap unwanted debris and fluid. Rigid grooves channel and whisk away liquids into a lower reservoir containment system. Designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, these mats are made from durable, flexible thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), which is 100% recyclable and free from latex, PVC and lead. Heavy-duty yet flexible, they present exceptional protection for your vehicle, ensuring both practicality and lasting performance.

Sodapup – (Dog Toys)

For furry dog friends of all sizes and ages, tough toys that won't end up in the garbage - a line of enrichment feeders and gadgets.

With a focus on enrichment, the brand offers three different rubber compounds to suit various chewing habits. From gentle materials for puppies to ultra-durable options for power chewers, there is something for every furry friend. Committed to safety, Sodapup uses FDA-compliant, BPA-free and phthalate-free elements in their mentally stimulating injection-molded toys.

Make mealtime more fun and engaging by choosing a slow feeder tailored to your dog’s needs. This convenient set-up provides the added benefit of slowing down your pup’s eating pace. The eTray is perfect for small or flat-nosed breeds with its shallow grooves, while the eBowl features deeper ridges for larger dogs. Add a sturdy lick mat to your pet’s stocking, developed to match their specific food preferences and temperament.
