Father's Day Guide 2022 - Part 2

Still haven't figured out what to get dad for Father's Day this year? Well here are even more great ideas to check out! If you missed my first round of ideas you can find them HERE.



For those Marvel loving dads out there how about something to recognize his favorite character?
  • Get ready to smash into comfort with this oversized throw cover highlighting Hulk's incredible legacy. The raging green monster is busting onto the scene in the form of this gigantic 8-foot Hulk Sherpa blanket.
  • Time for a little mischief. Get wrapped up in some trouble with this Marvel Studios Loki Throw Blanket. Give your living space the comforting touch it deserves with action-packed home decor.
  • From Marvel's Avengers comes Mighty Thor's iconic Mjolnir in the form of this gourmet meat tenderizer. Forge meals with this heavy-duty replica of the divine weapon that pays homage to the God of Thunder.
For the dad that loves to look up at the night sky. With this set he can enjoy the solar system far and near! This galactic drinkware set of 10 Planetary Glasses represents our Solar System, including 8 planets, Pluto, and the Sun.

Fishing subscription boxes make awesome gifts for that special angler in your life, no matter if they're your husband, father, grandfather, step-father, etc. They'll LOVE the gift of bass fishing, whether they are just starting out or have been at it for years. There's no better Father's Day gift than enabling someone's hobby they enjoy. The MONSTERBASS Regional Pros Series is the only bass fishing subscription box to deliver monthly lures and tackle that are hand-selected for where you live and fish.

BALLS cuts through awkwardness with over-the-top tongue-in-cheek British humor. Underneath that sensibility is a dedicated men's intimate grooming company that cares about informing and educating men about proper and necessary grooming and hygiene below the waist. Featuring top-quality micro trimming ceramic blades for precise trimming, and a 6,200RPM motor ideally tuned (not too fast, not too slow) to trim groin hair of all textures and thicknesses, the BALLS™ Trimmer is purpose built to give you the ultimate grooming experience. The BALLS™ Trimmer is perfectly-suited to helping you groom wherever, whenever you need it.

For the dad who spends his weekends grilling up some tasty meals for the family, he needs the O-Yaki Perfectly Portable Grill Set! It has all the barbecue accessories he could want and need for cooking outside. It comes with tongs, carving fork, carving knife, skewers, spatula and a basting brush in a convenient zippered storage case so he can take it with him wherever he goes. You can also find the O-Yaki Perfectly Portable Grill Set on Amazon.

Grill owners should always keep a multipurpose fire extinguisher within reach when barbequing. StaySafe’s 5-in-1 revolutionary, small and easy-to-use, portable fire extinguisher is perfect for grilling season. This nifty little fire-fighting tool is no bigger than a can of hairspray! StaySafe’s 5-in-1 Extinguisher does not require complicated removal of pins, or time-consuming directions. Users simply point and spray to extinguish a grill fire.

We’re all busy and on the go–and the worst feeling in the world is to need to use your phone only to find out it's dead! Users will never be caught off guard again when they’re armed with a Benks Power Bank that conveniently attaches magnetically to the back of the phone to make sure it's always charged. MagClap™ On-Go Power Bank 5000mAh is the essential accessory to have on hand to guarantee the phone is charged–Optimized for the iPhone 13 and 12, this powerful, but lightweight MagSafe compatible device fits perfectly on the back of the phone never blocking the camera.

Twinkly is more than simply Smart Lights that stay up all year outdoors or inside to coordinate colors, pulses and music movement for any occasion or just for those summer nights. These new generation LED light strings are smartphone controllable, and Twinkly has the patent on pairing computer mapping with lighting.

Known as the greenest and most versatile firelogs on the market, Enviro-Log Firelogs are the ultimate firewood substitute.  They are quick and easy to light and don’t need a firestarter to get going. They are made from 100 percent recycled waxed cardboard boxes that are used to transport fruits and vegetables to grocery stores.  Not only are they a recycled product, but when compared to firewood, Enviro-Log Firelogs burn cleaner, emitting 30 percent less greenhouse gases, 80 percent less carbon monoxide and 86 percent less creosote.  Enviro-Log Firelogs are also great for emergency preparedness because they have an infinite shelf life and are safe to cook over.

For the dad that loves going outdoors I recommend EcoBuggy! EcoBuggy provides up to six hours of continuous protection– up to three times longer than most mosquito repellents.​ It's 100 percent plant-based. It does not contain DEET or Picaridin, making it safe for children, pets, fabrics and the environment. ​Only repellent to leverage hydrogel-time-release™ (HTR) Technology – a scientific breakthrough that enhances nature’s own protective elements, gradually releasing the active ingredients over time, ensuring long-lasting performance.

Rule Breaker Snacks are the makers of vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, allergy-friendly, non-GMO and deliciously guilt-free treats. The new limited-edition Strawberry Shortcake Bites feature creamy white chocolate chips, a delectable soft-baked texture, and of course sweet strawberry flavor any dad will love.

These over-sized bags are packed with gourmet coffee (including decaf, French roast) and brew up a great cup of joe with no machines necessary. Monthly subscriptions are available and make great gifts for dads and granddads, or basically anyone who loves coffee.

The Filtr-Grip® Gripper makes removal of a stuck HVAC filter a snap. It's also a great clamp whose wide jaws prevent damage to fragile materials. This unique tool is a great addition to Dad's tool bag on Father’s Day!

Let's Talk About Summer

One of my favorite parts of summer are the memories that are made with friends and family. From trips to the park to vacations here and there summer is always a big part of our year. It's something we start planning way in advance so we don't miss out on going places we really want to see. Another favorite part of planning for summer trips is getting some new gear to take with us. Whether it be accessories to make travel a bit easier or even a new swimsuit for the beach it's always fun getting something new to enjoy. Even when summer is over we still get to enjoy it all through the memories we've made and the gifts that will last a lifetime.

Tech Gifts for the Holidays


Video gaming (and technology in general) has come a long way from when I was growing up. I can still remember the excitement I felt when we got our first Atari. Fast forward (we will leave out the exact number) years later and so much has changed. Yet in some ways it's still the same thanks to AtGames and the Blast! family of products. The Blast! family includes the Atari Flashback Blast! Vol. 1, Atari Flashback Blast! Vol. 2, Activision Flashback Blast!, Legends Flashback Blast! and Bandai Namco Flashback Blast!, all of which come with a USB-powered HDMI dongle that plugs directly into the TV and an ergonomic six-button wireless gamepad. Every Blast! game includes high-definition video output, an intuitive menu system, save and resume game functionality and the ability to rewind a game in progress to recover from a play misstep. An optional second wireless gamepad can be purchased for games that support two players. Blast! family products retail for $19.99-$39.99.



Unlike other power banks, FosPower’s PowerActive 10200 mAh Power Bank not only charges USB-powered technological devices but it is built to withstand tough environments: from the snow and dirt to extreme water resistance for up to 3ft/1m for 30 minutes. This power bank is built tough to last and offer 10200 mAH power. The power bank has built-in short-circuit, over-charge, and over-heat protection. Plus you'll never get lost with the integrated LED flashlight and compass.


Charge five devices at once — at twice the speed of a regular wall charger with the X5 Car Charger. This rapid car charger caters to a car full of friends and family. Two of the ports use intelligent recognition, reading your device then charging as fast as possible from two to 2.4 amps. The remaining three charge ports power up with two amps. With the X5 Car Charger there won't be anymore fighting over the phone charger in the car!


JumpSmart is the most practical vehicle jump starter on the market! Packed in a single, high-powered unit is a 4-mode LED flashlight, power bank, and vehicle jump starter. The JumpSmart can jump start up to a 6-cylinder, 4.0 Liter engine with ease. Its powerful 10000 mAh / 37000 mWh high-grade Lithium-Polymer Battery is compatible with most cars, trucks, SUV’s, boats, motorcycles, lawn mowers and more! Beyond its jump start features, this 8W, 1100 Lumen LED Flashlight has 4-Modes with S.O.S., and a 450ft reach (High Beam, Weak Beam, Strobe, & SOS Modes). The power bank feature can charge any USB device fast at 2.4 amps when you run out of power! Charge, and re-charge up to 1000 times.


The GoFish Cam records in top HD quality, has green LEDs for deep water and night fishing, can be used up to 150M (~500 Feet) depth, and has built in WiFi to easily connect with your Android or iOS mobile device. WIth the GoFish Cam anglers can share their underwater fishing experiences with friends and family at the touch of a button. The strike, the fight, the win, it's all right there.

Charge wirelessly at home or away with myCharge!


Like most kids my daughter has a cell phone that she carries to school with her. It just makes it so much more convenient if she's able to text or call me if she needs to stay after school for an activity. Or if I need to let her know ahead of time I won't be home when she gets off the bus so she doesn't worry. At any rate this mom really likes the convenience of cell phones today. The only downside is like anything else battery operated there's a chance someone may forget to charge their phone overnight and it run out of juice during the day. And that's where things like the Unplugged5K wireless charging powerbank from myCharge come in handy. With this handy device my daughter can charge her phone no matter where she is - and without needing a wall outlet or even charging cables! Her phone is Qi-enabled so she can charge wirelessly. All she has to do is lay her phone on the powerbank and it will sit in her locker and charge itself. Then when she's all done toss it back in her backpack so she always has it with her at school and at home. Let me tell you it's technology at it's best when you really need it.


For me I'm home most of the day so I don't really use a portable charger as much. So the myCharge PowerDisk+ is more my style. I just plug it in next to my laptop where I do my blogging during the day and then lay my phone on top to charge. I like this much better than having to plug it in every time since it's much faster. And I can't tell you how many times I've grabbed my phone forgetting it's plugged in and go to take off with it only to yank on the charging cable. Not good for my phone or the charging cable. With the PowerDisk+ I no longer have that issue. It's also great for having next to the bed on my night stand because if my phone rings at night I can just grab it up and again not worry about the cable. It even has an extra USB port on the side so you can charge a second device at the same time that might not have the Qi-enabled charging capabilities.


Unplugged5K
Powering your phone is simple with the Unplugged5K wireless charging portable powerbank. Extend talk, text and browse with the 5000mAh rechargeable battery that is certified to Qi standard. and can power any Qi-enabled smartphone with its 5-Watt wireless output. Leave your cords behind and simply place any Qi-enabled smartphone on the surface of the powerbank and the smartphone will begin charging on contact. This portable charger gives you the ability to charge 2 devices at once, charge one device via the built-in USB-A port and charge another device wirelessly.

PowerDisk+
The PowerDisk+ offers the fastest wireless charge available. This high-end charging pad is optimized to charge wireless devices quickly, delivering up to 10 Watts of wireless output. The 18 Watt adapter is complete with Qualcomm 3.0 Quick Charge. Set your wireless-enabled smartphone on the secure non-slip base and charging begins on contact. The grip keeps your device in place and continually charging. Charge up to two devices with the bonus USB port on the wireless charging pad.

Buy it: You can find these and other charging devices on the myCharge website.

Playing it safe with Speck


With back to school season in full swing now is the perfect time to think about protecting your devices. From cell phones to tablets to Apple Watches everyone seems to have one (if not multiple) devices on them at any given time. Thanks to Speck you can find protection options for all of your devices all in one place. My husband and I recently got Apple Watches and the first thing that came to my mind was getting a case to help us protect the glass screen. So I immediately went to the Speck website and searched to see what they had available. That's when I found their CandyShell FIT Cases. They easily snap over the glass face of your Apple Watch and keep it protected from any bumps along the way. I love that the cases are sleek looking and don't really add much extra size to our watches. And of course the all around protection!


I not only found a nice case to protect our Apple Watches, I also found the most amazing case to protect my Apple iPhone. It's called the Presidio ULTRA and it gives my phone ultra protection. I'm one of those people that tends to have a case of the "dropsies" now and then so it's important to have a case that will protect my phone from all directions. This case does that and so much more.

The Presidio ULTRA is 15-Foot drop tested and features an IMPACTIUM™ Shock Barrier with 4 layers of protection. The case has a slim rugged design that protects against dirt and dust with 360-degree port protection. Qi wireless charging compatible. Easy on/off IMPACTIUM Ultra Bumper. Independently lab tested with a lifetime limited warranty.

CandyShell Fit features a raised bezel that protects your Apple Watch glass from impact, without impeding touchscreen functionality. This dual-layer Apple Watch case is made up of a hard, impact-resisting exterior and a soft, shock-absorbing interior that guards against bumps, knocks, and other collisions in a surprisingly slim profile. CandyShell Fit’s durable materials flex on and off your Apple Watch easily. Plus, its slim, sleek design adds minimal bulk to your Apple Watch.
