TVLA
The Align[Mat] Cork
Resolution: Kick your asanas up a level.
Not only does this beautiful yoga mat give you artfully rendered guidelines to help you stay aligned while you practice, the cork surface is grippy and soft. That means you can practice without a mat towel (even if you sweat buckets) and get a better feel for the surface. It will make you want to go to yoga class.

UBCO
2×2 Electric Bike
Resolution: Use less gas.
This electric motorcycle from the wilds of New Zealand gives you the ability to ride roads and trails without spewing out exhaust. And it’s designed to haul a bunch of gear (up to 330 pounds carry weight) with you thanks to well-balanced front and rear racks. Tipping the scales at about 150 pounds, the bike crushes in gnarly terrain up to 30 mph and claims a 75-mile range (though plan for a bit less). Explore on it straight out the door or head out from a basecamp in the woods.

Solo Stove
Pi Prime Pizza Oven
Resolution: Up your pizza game.
Nothing beats that cheesy Italian goodness straight out of the oven in your backyard or camp. The problem is many camp pizza ovens are tricky to manage. Not so with the propane-fueled Pi Prime, which makes it easy to rotate that pie as it cooks and provides the heat to achieve pizza perfection.
