Gift Idea: Two today from Silva and Life Venture

The elves got a little behind in the workshop yesterday and, while chasing their tails to catch up, neglected to post a gift idea on Tuesday. So here's two to make up for it:
Silva ex distance pedometer £20
First up the Silva ex distance pedometer £20 compact, lightweight, easy to use and featuring a new, contemporary design with warm colour accents on a glossy white body. A newly designed robust clip secures the unit to the waist belt in the best possible way; just in case, there’s a safety lanyard to prevent accidental loss. The unique built-in filter function prevents unwanted recording of occasional non-related movement during a walk, jog or day at work which assists in accuracy. The ex distance counts both steps and distance.
Next the Lifeventure Mega Trek mug £12 transporting your hot drinks from campsite to car and holding a substantial 500ml of your favourite beverage. This sturdy mug is lined with stainless steel (watch out- some inexpensive models (like the ones you often see at petrol stations) might look like they are made of metal but often have plastic linings which add nothing to the taste of your morning tea). The spill-proof lid is not totally waterproof but it clicks firmly in to place when not in use and helps ensure a spill-free journey. The tapered base means the mug will fit most car cup holders too.
