Gifts for Dad & ALL the Men in Your Life!

June 22, 2015

 

Father’s Day isn’t the only time you need a great gift for Dad, right? I’ve been reviewing a few items I was sent & I’ve put together a short list of awesome gifts that Dad (and all the men in your life), will love receiving no matter what day it is!

 Gift Guide 

Tech – We all have techies in our lives, right? Whether it’s your dad, husband, brother or friend-we all know someone that just can’t get enough tech!  Here’s something the guys will really like, via my affiliate link:  Lepow POKI Portable External Battery Pack and Power Bank 10,000 mAh – Compatible with Apple iPhone, Apple iPad, Samsung and Other Smart Devices (Mint Green)

What I like about the Lepow Poki, besides the terrific color, is that it’s an ultra slim and lightweight portable charger; 30 percent lighter than batteries of the same power capacity-perfect for travel. It’s also the fastest portable battery charger in the industry & it quickly and safely juices up your iPhone, iPad, and Droid devices. I attended a tech meet up recently and got to speak to the folks behind Lepow. I was impressed with their products & the 18 month warranty!

Maybe Dad isn’t a fan of Mint, no worries, another Lepow device I’m lovin’ on right now is the Lepow Virtue Portable Charger External Battery Pack with Fast 2.1A Output, Heart-shape LED Battery Indicator – Ultra Portable, Compact, Lightweight, Fast Charging and Compatible with Apple iPhone, iPad, Samsung and Tablets – 9000mAh Orange

The Lepow Virtue Charger can definitely get the job done. Dad can slip it in his pocket and it will give his phone at least 3-4 full charges. Also works with his other devices… he won’t leave home without it! Just like the Poki, the Virtue also comes with an 18 month warranty- I LOVE that! Lepow is a company I’ll be watching closely, they have some very interesting products I can’t wait to get my hands on! 

 

Social Good Fashion – Another company that I am really feelin’ right now is Sevenly. I’m big into supporting social good causes, and Sevenly fits the bill. Instead of just buying Dad a tee at the mall, why not order one from Sevenly and give back? Sevenly exists to bring funding and awareness to the world’s greatest causes. Every item purchased on Sevenly.org gives $7 to a designated charity.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         be_the_change-5_largefamily-5_large 

So not only will Dad get a cool tee, but he’ll be helping support awesome causes like Habitat for Humanity. That’s a win-win in my book!

While I’m talking about Sevenly, I must mention something for the ladies:  CAUSEBOX by Sevenly.  CAUSEBOX is the the world’s first subscription box for socially conscious goods. Seasonly curated for women by Sevenly; every product in the box gives back, tells a story & has an impact. Every quarter you receive $150+ worth of socially conscious products from companies with hearts to change the world, and you only pay $49.95. Every CAUSEBOX donates 7% to world-changing causes and charities which reflect Sevenly’s belief that People Matter™ – the CAUSEBOX helps provide jobs, meals, education, clean water, and more to countless women, men, and children around the world. It’s so exciting opening the box & not knowing what goodies are inside! Get the box that makes a difference.

Food – The last item I want to share with you will definitely get Dad’s full attention. You know that old saying, “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach” … well, for my Northern California readers, allow me to introduce you to TableRunner. Have you ever wished you could have your own personal chef?! I know I have, and TableRunner is like having my very own chef. With TableRunner, you can have chef prepared meals-made with local ingredients-delivered right to your front door!

Every week the chefs prepare a new menu inspired by local, seasonal produce. Choose the meals you want off their website. They plan, prep, and cook each meal, all you have to do is heat it up & enjoy. The menu is different each week & you can choose between 4, 6, or 8 meals per week.

I don’t know about you, but I can’t afford my own personal chef…  I CAN afford TableRunner. Dad will love the menu with everything from Pesto Crusted Chicken Breast, with Thyme Roasted Mushroom Quinoa and Lemon Olive Oil Broccolini to Balsamic Glazed Short Ribs, Aged Wisconsin Cheddar Grits, Caramelized Cauliflower to the special menu item they’ll be serving up this week. In honor of our Golden State Warriors winning the NBA Finals (#GoWarriors), TableRunner has added Steph Curry Chicken to the menu! 10446119_1496536967235441_8233072994182637800_o                                                                                             

I like the convenience of these meals, they’re made with local ingredients, by real chefs! I know what you’re saying, “But what about taste?” ... you gotta taste them to believe how incredibly delicious they are.  I’ll take a TableRunner meal any day of the week- THAT’S how good they taste. Big thumbs up to TableRunner! (Did I mention the free delivery? Yep, no delivery charges!) 

Big shout-out to all the brands I discussed today- I’m honored to share all the good work you’re doing with my readers. Thank you for allowing me to review your products.
