    For The Beer-loving Guy in Your Life, Gift A Sudski

    Can’t have enough of your favorite drink even in the shower? Bring home the Shower Drink Holder by 30 Watt. This do-it-all shower holder can hold a beer can or other favorite canned beverage. Installation is simple, without the hassle of suction cups, adhesives or wall mounts. The holder sticks to glossy surfaces like glass, mirror, marble and more securely. Just stick this beer holder on your shower wall and enjoy a sip of cold beer at any time. Consider gifting your loved ones a shower wine or beer holder you’ll secretly want for yourself. 30 watt Sudski shower beverage holders are the most fun way to wash up in a communal shower.

    THREE EASY STEPS TO THE PERFECT SHOWER OR BATH EXPERIENCE:

    1. PLACEMENT Keep the lather away from your lager. The only bubbles you want in your beer is carbonation, so pick a spot for you SUDSKI that’s out of your shower’s splash zone.

    2. HOT N’ COLD To maximize your shower experience, make sure the water is hot and the beer is ice cold. You want the best of both worlds. Throw your beer in the freezer and crank the hot water up to 11, if you must.

    3. DOWN THE HATCH Pick a beer that you can finish in 10 minutes or less and save the heavier stuff for bars and breweries. A good lager should do the trick – it’s so fresh and so clean, just like you you’ll feel after stepping out of the best shower of your life.

    HOW TO USE:

    STEP 1: Remove protective film from back of the Sudski holder. Duh, right?

    STEP 2: Place onto flat, shiny, smooth and dry surface. Use thumb to smooth out any air bubbles.

    STEP 3: Wait 24 hours before placing beer into holder.

    HOW TO CLEAN:

    STEP 1: Gently hand wash under warm water while singing it a lullaby.

    STEP 2: Because science says so, allow to dry before reapplying to surface.

    STEP 3: It’s dishwasher safe so you could just pop it in there too.

    For the beer-loving guy in your life, gift a Sudski, the ultimate shower beer holder. Designed for the shower, but compatible with any glossy surface, this drink holder will keep his beer handy wherever he needs it most. No suction cups, adhesives, or wall mounts are needed. The Sudski stays put on any glossy surface using patented grip technology. Available at Target.com and on Amazon. It is an incredibly thoughtful choice for the beer drinker in your life. They’ll be thinking of you nearly every time they’re drinking beer soaking wet and naked.

He aided their rise to a household name, sowing his comical oats there for more than 20 years. During that time, Ryan met Arik Nordby—the creative mastermind behind the Onion’s most popular product at the time: a prank gift box now affectionately known as the Prank Pack, and sold by Prank-O. (Now a child company of 30 Watt, Prank-O was featured on Shark Tank in December 2018 when Ryan and Arik pitched Prank-O to the Sharks.)

    New Children’s Book Tells Story of Self-Identity, Acceptance & Animal Rescue

    Robert Vincent’s real-life tale of son’s black cat saved by a homeless woman

    Author Robert Vincent has written and illustrated “From the Pocket of an Overcoat” (Friendly Falls Press; Archway Publishing from Simon & Schuster), a children’s book inspired by the real-life story of a black cat named Max who was rescued by a homeless woman in Dallas.

    “From the Pocket of an Overcoat” tells the story of an affable cat, Max Buckles, through his adventure of finding a new home and family – and being loved for who he is. He goes from the cozy overcoat pocket of Sally in the city, to the country with Farmer Buckles and his other animals, including his four dogs – Sam, Tots, Scotty, and Junior Buckles. Along the way, Max discovers a true sense of belonging within his new family. As told through the journey of Max the cat, this is a story about self-identity, acceptance, animal rescue and adoption. The inspiration for the story comes from Vincent’s son Matthew, who adopted Max in 2010.

    “I was inspired by the amazing story of the real Max the cat,” notes Vincent. “Almost everyone struggles with self-identity and being loved for their authentic selves. This book embraces those concepts and lets kids – and adults – find solace in the courage of this wonderful black cat.”

    “From the Pocket of an Overcoat” retails for $17.99 and is sold on BN online and Amazon begins from November 22, 2021; it is currently available at Valencia Sport Saddlery and Glenroy’s Equestrian Gifts in Los Angeles. A portion of each book sale will be donated to organizations that promote animal rescue and adoption – The Humane SocietyBest Friends, and Alley Cat Allies.
