Frugal Neighbor Gifts: Banana Nut Bread - Again!
I made banana nut bread again this year for a frugal neighbor gift but I also include the office staff at my daughter's school. The recipe makes 6 mini loafs so I thought why not. I am a creature of habit and I like to do stuff that I know works and is easy. They are super cute if I do say so myself. These loaf pans you can find at Michael's for a $1. So far they have brought them back year after year. I decided to do all red loaf pans this year and add in some green ribbon I really liked how they turned out, again!

SOL REPUBLIC Tracks Air Headphones Review AND Giveaway!
The SOL REPUBLIC Tracks Air headphones are superb compared to most similarly priced items on the market. For a cool looking pair of headphones under $200 you can't find anything better.
Comfort:
These headphones utilize a new idea in the way headphones are placed on the headband. They actually slide up and down the headband itself. For an on ear pair of headphones they are surprisingly comfortable and do a great job of blocking out ambient noise when listening to music.
Quality:
The build on these headphones are fantastic. The headband is a virtually indestructible plastic and come with zipper carrying case for easy transporting. I especially like the volume controls and multi-function button on the headphone for ease of answering phone calls and switching music tracks both forward and backward.
Sound:
The most important thing of all in my opinion. The SOL REPUBLIC Tracks Air headphones are easily comparable to my Bose headphones that I paid twice as much for a year ago. Overall, the Tracks Air offer good highs that bring out the vocal track without distorting the sound quality, a decent mids section, and a booming bass that gives a sweet bass thump to any track that has it. These headphones perform equally well on all kinds of music from rock to country to classical.
Functionality:
The SOL REPUBLIC Tracks Air headphones also come with a cord enabling you to plug in on airplanes. They also have the ability to connect to 2 different devices at the same time allowing you to switch back and forth between devices seamlessly whether it be a phone call or simply listening to music. I was amazed at the ease of setup of the SOL REPUBLIC Tracks Air headphones. I set up both my devices in 2 minutes and especially like the NFC method of turning on my Bluetooth connection and simply tapping my device on the right earphone for pairing. The SOL REPUBLIC Tracks Air also comes with a USB charging cable allowing you to tap into your devices for charging. These amazing headphones also have a remarkable 12 hour life when fully charged and upon powering up you are advised by a smooth voice on your headphones exactly how much battery life is remaining.
In summary if you want a cost effective pair of wireless headphones with excellent sound quality, durability, stylish look, and awesome functionality than the SOL REPUBLIC Tracks Air are the headphones for you. Do yourself or someone you love, since it is the Christmas season, a favor and put a pair of SOL REPUBLIC Tracks Air headphones under your tree this year and watch the excitement as they power up these amazing ear friendly headphones.
