EyeBuyDirect releases Gaming Glasses Collection
EyeBuyDirect’s Gaming Glasses Collection includes three new styles, all of which feature lightweight frames and thin temple arms that the brand says are comfortable while wearing a headset. You can also purchase glasses with blue light-filtering lenses. The Victory glasses boast rectangular lenses and adjustable nose pads and are available in Matte Black Blue or Gold Olive. The pink or yellow Boss glasses have round lenses, while the Endorphin glasses offer square lenses and come in black or clear.
Baby Brezza launches the Instant Warmer Advanced
Baby Brezza says that its new black Instant Warmer Advanced makes warm water available for formula bottles whenever you need it — the brand says this eliminates time spent waiting for traditional bottle warmers to heat up. The device’s tank holds 50 ounces of water and offers three water temperature options: room temperature, body temperature and warmer than body temperature. According to the brand, you simply press a button to dispense warm water, and the device works with any type of bottle. The Instant Warmer Advanced is also built with an LED nightlight you can turn on and off.
CASETiFY introduces new MagSafe accessories
Last year, CASETiFY released its Re/CASETiFY technology, which uses the materials from old phone cases to make new ones, according to the brand. Now, the brand is implementing the upcycling program into its iPhone 13 MagSafe lineup — CASETiFY’s RE/CASETiFY Impact and Ultra Impact Crush Cases are newly available with Apple MagSafe Connection. CASETiFY also debuted additional MagSafe accessories: a Magnetic Wireless Charger and a Battery Pack Case. The wireless charger snaps onto compatible iPhones or iPhone cases to repower devices, and the Battery Pack Case houses MagSafe battery packs, which the brand says helps prevent scratches or damage while it’s connected to your phone.
