App That Rewards You for Daily Steps
wewardapp.com
I've been using this app for a few months and I love it—it's an easy way to get rewarded for the steps you take every day. You'll get a certain number of points per day based on the number of steps you take, then receive gifts when you reach a collective number of points. I recently "cashed" my Wewards out for a $15 Amazon gift card! You can also donate your cash rewards to different charities, which is a great way to give back.
It's free to download and use for iPhone and Android.

If you have a partner who hogs the covers—you'll appreciate this wonderfully oversized blanket bedspread with temperature-regulating technology. Made of 100% cotton muslin, this ultra-breathable blanket looks light and airy, weighs eight pounds—without trapping heat. It keeps you warm in the winter and cool in the summer, and works best without a top sheet. It comes in 17 colors, so there's something for everyone.
A Slow Treat Feeder for Your Dog

Every morning as I'm trying to get ready for work my pup will dramatically bark at me, wanting attention and pets, and that's when this genius product comes in to save the day. I spread peanut butter on it and it buys me another 15 minutes while he enjoys a treat. It's also great for dogs who hate baths, as it suctions to the wall and keeps them occupied while you get them clean.
