Awesome gifts! That jump rope would make a great stocking stuffer and an easy travel accessory for working out on the go. I personally need that fork so I can put the breaks on my warp speed eating haha!
OMG this are AMAZING!!!! That fork would kick my ass because I wolf down my food in about 10 seconds! LOL! Bah ha ha! I realized, Whitney just said the same thing!!
I think I might want to get my sister that jump rope because she lives in FRIGID cold temperatures, she isn’t always going to want to go outside and hike!
Haha, the hapifork is kind of funny. I think if anything eating with that big old thing would be reminder enough to go slow:)
