Oregon Scientific AW133 Grill Right Bluetooth BBQ Thermometer
Family and friends will be over, and that grill is already going. However, it’s already hot outside. What’s the point in standing directly over those hot flames waiting for your food to be cook? Pick up an Oregon Scientific AW133 Grill Right Bluetooth BBQ Thermometer. This BBQ Thermometer allows you to program your choice of cooking modes on the user-friendly app on your compatible smart device, and it will notify you on your phone once your food has reached its desired temperature. This makes grilling much easier and frees up your time so you can enjoy your guests more.  And believe me, that talking thermoter will be a topic for conversation during the whole meal.

Aquabot By Lunatec
July usually brings the heat with it. While sitting out in the sun, waiting on the next hot dog or hamburger to come off of the grill, why not cool yourself down a little bit. The Aquabot makes your water bottle spray 25-feet and has a shower, stream and mist spray patterns to choose from. This is perfect for having impromptu water fights on those really hot days. Now go blast someone and get the war started!  It won't take too long for that food to be ready!

Garmin Vivofit 3 Activity Tracker

Planning and prepping for the entire family to come over can be very time-consuming, and can easily throw you off of your workout routine. However, chances are you’re still getting a workout between cooking, cleaning, bringing out drinks for the cooler, lifting bags of ice, and more, a lot more if it's like our parties! Since this, all adds up to an accidental work-out, before your day even starts strap on a Garmin Vivofit 3 Activity Tracker and compare your accidental workout to your planned routine.  You may just be surprised on just how much activity you're actually cramming into your holiday prep!!!

We all know that the best moments are usually caught unexpectedly, which is why having a GoPro Hero4 Silver Edition HD Action Camera  on hand can capture all of those impromptu moments, (black-mail opportunities), during the festivities. Mount it in an out of the way place so you can pick up random footage that you can surprise your guests with at a later time, or put it on a camera stand and capture as many memories as possible. You can even send the footage to the family as a keepsake, to remind them of the good times you all shared together on this 4th of July.

Luci Outdoor Inflatable Solar Lantern
Now I don’t know about you, but our holiday parties, especially the 4th of July run long into the night. We all look forward to the neighborhood firework displays and have fun shooting off a few of our own. We never have to worry about not having enough light to see by, because we have an assortment of Luci Outdoor Inflatable Lights handy. These are great portable lanterns that we can place anywhere we need some additional illumination and the nice thing about them is after the season is over, we can just deflate them and pack them away for easy storage.

Now that we've given you a few helpful ideas to help make your holiday get-to-gether more enjoyable, get out there and enjoy your independence and freedom. Food, family, fun, and fitness should be your main goals on this holiday.

Happy 4th of July, from everyone here at HeartRateMonitorsUSA.com
