Recently, an odd shipment came in to the office. Initially I thought it was a filter of some kind (we sell those things you know). We opened the box and saw…toys. Not a humidifier filter or an orifice….toys. However, these were different. They were the Melissa and Doug Sunny Patch Pool and Sand Toys. There is little doubt that you have heard of Melissa and Doug before. After all, they are the makers of educational and classic children toys. They played a role in the childhood of many people around the world (personally, I loved their puzzles).

After being told that we would now be carrying Melissa and Doug’s line of pool toys for kids, I was ecstatic. We already offer a large array of spa and pool filters, so why not offer the next essential piece to your home swimming pool? These pool and sand toys for kids make having a swimming pool more enjoyable and takes your next beach adventure to another level. Many of the Sunny Patch Toys can be used in a variety of activities that are aimed to stimulate the child’s mind through sequencing, sorting games and more. The Melissa and Doug Sunny Patch Pool and Sand Toys includes, but is not limited to:

The Sand Funnel Sandbox and Beach Toy will provide plenty of excitement at the sandbox or the beach. Pour sand or water through the tower of sea creatures and watch as the different layers funnel, sift, spin and tip. This is ideal for children ages 2+ and features bright, fade-resistant colors.

The Turtle Catch and Hatch Pool Toy is both easy to use and fun, which makes for a great combination. Each plastic egg in this pool toy set fits one baby turtle inside. Toss them in the swimming pool, gather them and watch them “hatch” for a stimulating variety of sequencing, swimming and sorting games. This is perfect for children ages 6+ and adult supervision is required.

The Melissa and Doug Kids Crab Beach Tote Bag is bright, colorful and (you guessed it) adorable! It has a roomy interior and features exterior pockets that allow you to pack everything you need for your next day at the beach. This beach bag also features mesh panels in the bottom so you can “sift” the sand out. Priced at under $15, you get great quality while spending little.

Doulton is one of the world’s largest makers of ceramic filters. For over 185 years, Doulton has been a producer of eco-friendly, reusable cartridge filters with the same goal in mind: Providing safe, healthy, great-tasting drinking water whenever and wherever you need it.

Doultons ceramic filters are world famous for good reason. Fairey Industrial Ceramics Limited (FICL) is the sole manufacturer of the Doulton ceramic water filters.  All of the stages of FICL’s drinking water filter production adhere to rigorous ISO 9001 quality standards. Fairey Industrial Ceramics Limited holds the coveted WRAS and NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) certificates, proving that the drinking water filters have passed the highest international testing standards. High quality standards are why the Doulton brand name is renowned and respected for use in home water filtration systems in the United States and abroad.

The Doulton Super Sterasyl Ceramic Filter reduces water contaminants while improving odor and taste. This ceramic filter is NSF certified for the reduction of taste, odor, particulates, cysts, bacteria, chlorine and Guinea worm.

The Doulton Rio 2000 High-Flow Ceramic Water Filter is the newest product from Doulton. Even in low water pressure areas, the Doulton Rio will provide you with excellent flow rate of up to 520 gallons per hour (in other words, over 8 gallons per minute). The Doulton Rio filter may be cleaned for extended life, but it is recommended that the filter be replaced at least once a year for optimum performance.

Although the Mardi Gras celebrations in New Orleans are the most popular, they’re far from the only city that celebrates this occasion. Dozens of cities (including ten cities in Louisiana alone) have their own Mardi Gras festivities. These celebrations include wearing throw beads, decorative masks, festive costumes and much more. The traditional colors of green, gold and purple are also staples at every celebration. If you are planning on celebrating Mardi Gras this year, there are a few things you should have to truly make this celebration special.

Yum! Delicious, isn’t it? Pictured next to this delectable King Cake, a festive food that is usually consumed during Mardi Gras celebrations, is the Mavea Filter Pitcher. You may wonder why the the Mavea Elemaris XL Purple Water Filter Pitcher is sitting next to it. You’ll need some clean filtered water to wash that delicious King Cake down and this filtered pitcher is perfect for the job. Manufactured from BPA-free plastic, this Mavea Water Filter Pitcher has a distinct design that comes in this elegant purple European style finish. It also features a Smart Meter filter change indicator for your added convenience.

During a night on the town wearing your traditional Mardi Gras beads, you will inevitably get thirsty. It will be very tempting to reach for a drink or a soda, but none of those beverages will properly hydrate your body. We suggest the Vapur Green Reflex Bottle. This completely collapsible and extremely portable water bottle can fit anywhere, which means you don’t have to carry it around. Tuck it in your bag after you finish drinking and resume the festivities.

After the celebration has ended, and you have retired your Mardi Gras mask for the year, you may be tired. Too tired to get up the next morning for work and to function throughout the day. As a result, you’ll go for the coffee. You may be surprised to discover that you’re running low on coffee filters, or even worse, completely out. This is where the Mr. Coffee Permanent Coffee Filter comes in handy.  Stop using the wasteful paper coffee filters in favor of this reusable and permanent coffee filter. It easily cleans and is dishwasher safe, making it a viable option for your home. This coffee filter will probably outlast our coffee maker! How’s that for durability?

The term “Mardi Gras” is French for Fat Tuesday. On this day, observers eat fatty, richer foods before the Lent season. Have you celebrated Mardi Gras before? Share your memories with us in the comments below.

Like many around the country, you are searching for the perfect romantic gift for your significant other. You could always buy roses or a box of chocolate, but how about a gift that truly shows your appreciation for them? We don’t sell candy, jewelry or top-of-the-line gadgets (shocker, I know), but we do offer romantic Valentine’s Day gifts that show how much you truly care about the health and wellness of your significant other.

When you think of romantic gifts, a humidifier does not come to mind (unless you’re me, of course), but a humidifier can be an important household item. For those dealing with congestion, sinus irritation and more, a humidifier makes a big difference. The Crane Pink Drop Shape Humidifier gives you relief from the aforementioned ailments, in a whisper quiet operation that can run up to 24 hours. This sleek humidifier looks great, and works even better.

Our loved ones have strange personality quirks, like weird habits or singing embarrassingly loud in public. No matter how different they may be, there is one important aspect you both share: the need for water to survive and function on this Earth. What better way to make sure they have easy access to this resource than a BPA free, stainless steel alternative to bottled water? The Klean Kanteen Red 18 oz. Bottle is transportable, dishwasher safe and 100% recyclable making this an ideal Valentine’s Day gift.

I admit that an air filter may not come across as the “sexiest” Valentine’s Day gift to get your loved one. However, when you look at the benefits of the Filtrete 6-pack Micro-Allergen Home Air Filter, it is easy to see why I’m recommending it. This 6-pack of filters reduces pollen, smoke, household dust and more. By cleaning the air your loved one(s) breathe; you’re helping to keep their health intact. What’s more important than seeing your loved one healthy and in good spirits?

Other great gift ideas include the Austin Air HM205 Baby’s Breath Allergy Machine that gives your child the rest it deserves. Order now and receive a special GWP pre-filter with your order.

These are also great long distance relationship gifts. We’ll ship it directly to your far away lover on your behalf. I won’t be offended if you didn’t see any gifts that interest you. However, I will be offended if you don’t visit FiltersFast.com and browse through our complete selection of water pitchers, water bottles, humidifiers and air filters for more gift ideas. After you place your order and it is delivered safely into the hands of your loved one, you don’t have to tell him/her that your gift idea came from the filter geek. You can take all the credit for that, my friend. Just remember to look beyond the usual Valentine’s Day gifts, and go for the gift that shows how much you truly care about their well being.
