Whether it is 2022 or 1992 there’s one question all the buyers are looking to answer; what’s will be the hottest favor of the year?

Remember going to a birthday party when you were kid. The visits to Chuck-E-Cheese may have ended a long time ago, but if you play golf, you still get goodie bags.

The collection of cool products make the PGA Show the perfect place to explore what’s new.

Everyone has a tumbler. Drinking water, coffee, or something fun has become an integral part of our society. I bet there’s a couple of these steel cooler cups in your house all adorned with some crazy marketing colors. One nice use of these cups that keep drinks cool is on the course. Another item we use in everyday life is a Bluetooth speaker. Every household owns at least one of these as well.

Vibe has combined these two essential everyday items into one very cool tool. They have speaker tumblers. 24 hours of keeping drinks cool alongside 8 hours of speaker battery life.
