Give the Gift of Pain Relief with Bax-si Back Pain Management Device #HolidayGiftGuide

 *DISCLOSURE* Thank you to Bax-si for providing product samples in order to facilitate this post.  All thoughts are strictly my own. 

Do you have someone on your holiday gift list that suffers from back pain?  If so, Bax-si is a clever little device that could offer them years of pain management!


Unlike conventional pain management options, the Bax-si is a non-invasive, easy to use, and affordable way to reduce tension and inflammation.  How does it work? Simply find your sacroiliac joint (SI Joint). Place the Bax-si under the SI Joint on either side of your spine working your way up to four distinct positions for 3 to 5 minutes on each side. The gel head will gently and effectively open the SI joints. It's truly magical!


With consistent use, your back pain will fade, as will usage time, allowing you to regain a more active, pain-free lifestyle.  As you use it more often, therapy time can be reduced to as low as 30 to 45 seconds on each side.


Bax-si comes with two interchangeable gel heads. Start with the level 1 firmness wave head to allow your body to get used to the pressure working your way up to the level 2 firmness wave head.


The custom shape of the Bax-si offers maximum relief in a modern compact design. It mimics a professional physical therapist's technique to release tension which is normally done by hand. The Bax-si helps open the SI joint no matter the shape, age or size of the person seeking pain relief, which means one device can provide relief for the whole family saving money and time at appointments.  You can also find lots of supporting information on the website including videos on how to most effectively use the Bax-si for ultimate relief.

Who wouldn't love the gift of pain relief this holiday season?!  Bax-si is a no-brainer gift idea that is sure to be adored by back pain sufferers for years and years!

Get Into the Spooky Spirit with R.L. Stine Books for Teens and Adults!

 *DISCLOSURE* Thank you to the publisher for providing product samples in order to facilitate this post.  All thoughts are strictly my own. 


Looking for a fun read to get you into the spooky spirit this Fall?  Check out R.L. Stine's latest releases for teens and adults:

Graveyard Club, The: Revenge Game

Definitive horror master R.L. Stine introduces a new cast of devilish teens in a brand new graphic novella!

Parker West is a senior at Grave’s End High, in the sleepy town of Grave’s End, a town surrounded by cemeteries. A place where swarms of bats fill the sky every night, and kids play hide-and-seek amongst tombstones. But none of that feels odd to the locals-- Grave’s End is as sleepy and dead as they come. A lonely hill on the edge of the town in the graveyard becomes the local hangout spot for Parker and his group of friends. They goof off, plan schemes, and form a secret club… the Graveyard Club. Members have to be daring and unafraid to wreak a relatively harmless amount of havoc in the name of fun. But one night, after getting into an argument with a local cop, the kids find themselves in a prank war. But what starts off as mostly harmless practical jokes and tricks escalates into attacks that might put these kids in real, life-threatening danger if they won’t back down first… and Parker’s never been one to give up without a fight. Beloved author R.L. Stine (Goosebumps, Fear Street, Stuff of Nightmares), who put a nostalgic sense of dread in our hearts as children, returns with a brand new original graphic novella–a coming of age horror story for generations new and old.

Stuff of Nightmares: No Holiday for Murder


Two horrific haunts in one chilling collection from the beloved R.L. Stine, penning his first comic series for his adult fans!

If you dare, get into the sinister spirit of the season and join The Nightmare Keeper for two fresh forays into the Stuff of Nightmares universe! First, comic creator Alex Oxaca has been out of the spotlight for decades, and he’ll wish he’d remained in obscurity soon enough… RED MURDER was the smash hit title of the early 2000s, and will come back from the past in more ways than one during the 20th anniversary celebration of the title! A real ax murderer, eerily parallel to the hatchet-wielding killer in the comic, starts chopping down equally real victims, bringing a whole new meaning to HorrorCon. And…as malls continue to die, a down-and-out former mall Santa named Heinrick Fiddler’s rage turns to madness, and he’s dead-set on making sure department store shopping isn’t the only thing that’s deceased in SLAY RIDE! Bestselling Fear Street and Goosebumps author R.L. Stine is joined by Bram Stoker Award-nominated artist Pius Bak (Eat the Rich) and acclaimed artist Adam Gorham (Dune: Blood of the Sardaukar, The Blue Flame) for two standalone tales directly from your most demented dreams!

Stuff of Nightmares: The Monster Makers

The master of horror returns to comics with this fresh reanimation of a horror classic! The iconic R.L. Stine is joined by artist A.L. Kaplan (Maw, Jim Henson's The Storyteller) in this twisted retelling of Frankenstein. You might be familiar with the story of a mad scientist hell-bent on creating life, but what these two demented brothers have made is something else entirely! Horror lovers won’t want to miss this imaginative retelling with more than a few twists, as R.L. Stine takes on one of the most iconic stories in horror history!
