Good sleep...what a wonderful gift. For the past two decades, having survived a series of hand-me down/found on the street corner/don't look at it with a black light/used mattresses, our sore backs decided it was time to adult up and get a decent mattress. The pets were also getting sick of having to shove us over to the very edges so they would have more room to stretch out every night. We did much research and decided upon a Purple Mattress. Apparently, Goldilocks approves. (Or so their YouTube promotional video told us.) They will ship it right to Alaska for us! (For $300 extra dollars. Free shipping to the lower 48 though! Ugh..shipping in Alaska.) We wanted to upgrade to a King so that we don't have to touch each other once we are married, since we heard that's what happens, and also to make more room for the pets. They can stretch out, we can stretch out, our backs don't hurt, everyone is happy.

Along with our new bed, wouldn't it be nice to actually have high quality bedding? Instead of used bedding purchased from the dollar bin at a thrift store? We've been day-dreaming of being wrapped in these Sheex Performance bedding sets since first reading about them. We figured, why not throw them on our registry and see if fate will bring high-tech bedding to Alaska for our sleeping pleasure? These sheets are a double whammy too! They are reversible, one side for cold weather, the other side for warm weather. Boom! (Which is great for us trying to downsize our possessions...having one or two quality multipurpose items as opposed to a closet full of crappy ones.)

Andrew snores. Brittney is a light sleeper. They say a snoring partner can cause a divorce. Nobody wants that. Brittney has been sleeping for the past 5 years with ear plugs. But recently her ferret decided to eat one, and almost died. Two thousand dollars of vet/hotel/and gasoline bills later, the ferret survived. (Yay!) But, now earplugs are a hazard in the house. Brittney pulls them out while sleeping and they get caught in clothes and sometimes accidently dragged around the house. Hush will come to the rescue! Smart Earplugs...that have to be put back in the charger in the morning. They block noise, AND play ambient sounds for wonderful, wonderful sleep. If they get pulled out and lost in the middle of the night, they are equipped with technology to find their location. No sleepless angry nights. No expensive almost dead ferrets who dined on misplaced earplugs. What a win win.

Another option for the snoring protection vs. ferret death trap dilemma...(see, Hush Earplugs gift option)...Kokoon, the world's first sleep sensing headphones. These high tech headphones, noise blockers, white noise producers, sleep cycle sensors would also prevent a snoring related divorce from lack of sleep caused insanity due to not being able to use foam earplugs anymore or risk ferret death by earplug ingestion. (Those crazy weasels...foam is NOT a food!)

We have ferrets and dogs already...help us expand our critters to include red wiggler worms! We have a big yard with big potential and are beginning to develop it more and make a food garden and flower beds. Our soil is lacking though, and compost is EXPENSIVE to buy up here. So, we want to make our own! We can turn our kitchen scraps into compost year round inside our house with this worm factory composting bin.

Worms! Glorious, live worms to fill up our new worm composter. They will be the newest members of the Tho-mata household. :P

The most beautiful composter in the world, according to the maker. It is quite beautiful for an outdoor composter. We would like to put it in our yard for more composting adventures. Made in the USA!

Part Puzzle, Part Magic, Keep your ring close to your heart. Due to Brittney's job as a massage therapist, she has to wash her hands constantly and can't wear her wedding ring a majority of the day. We don't want her to lose her ring...this ring holding necklace is the perfect solution. You can slip the ring off and on, without taking off the necklace, and it securely holds the ring. Perfect.

A stylish dog crate that doubles as an end table. Function and style. Rufus will love it. (He would probalby actually love it more if we just didn't put him in a kennel at all when we left the house so he could get into the garbage and get all the snacks. But, he gets plenty of snacks, so don't feel bad.)

We camp every weekend in the summer. This camp stove looks amazing. It cooks AND charges your phone or camera. We want.
