Water You Thinking?
When it comes to planning a set of gifts, it’s not always about what they are. Sometimes, you gotta consider when they’d be used.
Essentially, you want to give some presents the recipient will enjoy immediately and some that will continue to excite them at various times throughout the year. That way, even in the middle of summer, something will remind your loved one of that sweet, sweet holiday magic!
That’s what these things can be.
They’re waterproof Altec Lansing speakers that float! You can choose between:
The H2O 4 - A simple, straightforward Bluetooth speaker that has great Bluetooth range (100 feet) and pairs in TWS (True Wireless Stereo), making it perfect for blasting This American Life at the pool party! Or, you know, listening to some music. Also, 10 hours of runtime. Not bad, huh?
The Mini LifeJacket or Mini LifeJacket Jolt - Little guys capable of 16 hours of sound. Plus, you can pair more than one together. In fact, you can, apparently, pair up to 50. Which seems excessive. But also maybe rad for a float-trip/Zaireeka listening session. (We’re not sure anyone will get this joke, or if it even makes sense, to be honest.) Oh, and if you’re wondering what the difference is with the Jolt, it’s simple: lights.
The LifeJacket 3 - 30 whole hours of battery life, a built-in mounting system, and True Wireless Stereo pairing. A bit bigger and more powerful than the others, but also very lightweight. Plus, it earns a 4.2 out of 5 based on 660 reviews on Amazon. And that’s at $80! We’ve got it for, umm, quite a bit cheaper.
In fact, we’re offering all these totally giftable speakers at stocking stuffer prices. Like, seriously, our prices are about a quarter of what you’ll find elsewhere.
We should also mention, just because they float doesn’t mean you have to throw them in some water to use them. In other words, they’re a gift for now that will only get more exciting as the weather warms up.
So get one! And give it as a gift! Or just keep it for yourself! We actually don’t care. What’s important to us is the you spending money part.
