### Kammok Glider Kammok’s swoopy rain tarp can be used on its own or stretched over the company’s Roo hammock to make a sheltered outdoor snoozer. However you sling it, you’re saving something—the fastening points form funnels for rainwater which you can collect in detachable plastic bottles, and the company shares a portion of its revenue with African charities. *— Staff Pick: Bryan Gardiner, Senior Associate Editor* $175 | [Kammok Glider](http://www.kammok.com/Kammok-Glider-Rain-Tarp-Weather-Relief-Shelter-p/glider.htm)  Justin Fantl

### One World Futbol Every garage has a box full of soccer balls, basketballs, and volleyballs — almost all of which are deflated.

And for every one you buy, a second is sent to kids in need, from refugee camps to inner cities. *— Staff Pick: Elise Craig, Researcher* $40 | [One World Futbol](http://www.oneworldfutbol.com/)  Justin Fantl
