People are pretty picky about their granola these days. Salty or sweet? Eating it dry on the go or with milk? Well Mix My Granola lets you custom make organic granola with a hearty selection of choices. You start off by picking a granola base, then add fruits and nuts, and top it off with any extras like M&Ms, organic gummy bears, or crystallized ginger. Ordering is fairly simple, and you can name and save your granola mix. That way you can reorder it if you like. Nutrition facts based on your mix will also be shown on the packaging of your granola. Pre-mixed granola options are also available and tasty too.

BUILT Hoodie Laptop Case
By now you've probably seen BUILT wine bottle totes and laptop sleeves. These colorful, sleek carriers are made of wetsuit like material making them durable yet functional. The BUILT design team is based in New York's Soho neighborhood and draws inspiration from the movement around them. One new product that I want to feature specifically is the BUILT Hoodie Laptop Case. It's the perfect case for your precious cargo, includes a built-in pocket for cables and cords, and can be put right on the belt at airport security! The Hoodie Laptop Case can hold 7-10" or 15.4" wide laptops and comes in black, red, or micro dot colors. For $35-45 it's a no brainer - grab your hoodie and go.
