Infinity Strap®

Amir Zaki has been a yoga practitioner in Southern California for over a decade. But when he used a typical yoga strap for stretching and poses, he found the prop to be clunky, sometimes painful, and not helpful. Looking for a solution, he cut up a traditional strap and sewed it with his home sewing machine. A new product was born, and business is now booming. Check out all of the Infinity Strap yoga props perfect for the yogi in your life

SkateXS®

Bryan Tracey, founder of SkateXS, got the idea for his business from his 6-year-old son who was interested in skateboarding. Tracy searched for a properly sized skateboard with quality components. All he could find were full size boards or toy store options. Finding smaller, quality boards turned out to be a universal challenge that he set out to solve. Check out the SkateXS inventory of custom-made boards for the small skateboarder in your life.
