SOL Republics’ Master Tracks<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"SOL<\/p>\n

Dad or grad would appreciate SOL Republic’s headphones. \u00a0Watch movies on your phone or tablet or listen to music cushioned inside these very comfortable earphones which deliver superior sound. \u00a0Great for home, car travel and air travel. \u00a0 We have tested the quality of SOL Republic headphones and the sound is phenomenal. \u00a0We also like the way the headphones are crafted, they include a slider feature, which works great for larger or smaller heads.<\/p>\n

SOL Republic’s Air headphones sell for $114.99 at\u00a0Amazon.<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

Bactrack Breathalyzer<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Bactrack<\/p>\n

The Backtrac Breathalyzer is one of those tools you don’t need to often, but when you have it, it can help make clear the difference between life and death. \u00a0Hanging out at a club…or even someone’s apartment\/house can be fun, but all to often we do not realize how the alcohol we consumed affects our capacity to react. \u00a0The Backtrac Breathalyzer can tell you in seconds, simply by breathing into its funnel. \u00a0Not only will it tell you your alcohol score (compared against the legal driving limit), but it will tell you extra information about your ability to concentrate, walk, etc.<\/p>\n

Backtrac links up with your phone via Bluetooth to give you your score and an education you hopefully won’t forget.<\/p>\n

The BacTrack Breathalyzer sells for $149.99 at the Bactrack website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

iGrill Mini<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"IGrill<\/p>\n

Now, some dads will argue that grilling meat on the grill is an art. \u00a0But wouldn’t it be nice if they could enjoy a gathering away from the grill and be notified when their meat has reached the right temperature? \u00a0And what about high school or college graduates, wouldn’t they appreciate having some help in barbecuing meats to boost their confidence? \u00a0The iGrill mini is another great Bluetooth device that hooks up with your iPhone or iPad to tell you how your meat is doing on the grill. \u00a0Once the temperature is reached, you will be notified via your phone\/tablet. \u00a0The iGrill Mini is a great way to stay on top of things while still enjoying the company you are with.<\/div>\n

Philips WeCall Conference Speaker<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Philips<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Think it’s a little unusual to give a conference speaker to your Dad or Grad? \u00a0Here’s why it’s a good idea. \u00a0Wouldn’t be easier to turn set your cellphone down and speak to someone hands free? \u00a0Yes, you can do that with your phone’s built-in speaker phone, but it’s limited at what it can do. \u00a0Your phone is built with one microphone and it’s not \u00a0very directional. \u00a0So as you move about your room, you become harder to hear. \u00a0With the Philips WeCall, it can pick up your voice from 15 feet away and with its 4 microphones, it can pick up voices from 360 degrees around. \u00a0Connecting to your phone via Bluetooth and its rechargeable battery lasting up to 8 hours, the Philips WeCall is handy little device. \u00a0And it’s perfect for picking up voices in a conference room or all your family on a conference call.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
The Philips WeCall retails for $149.99 at\u00a0Amazon<\/a>\"\".<\/div>\n

Well Done Dads & Grads!<\/span><\/h2>\n

Congratulations to all the graduates out there…job well done! \u00a0And congratulations parents for all of the extra effort you gave to help your kids be successful. \u00a0Before you were a parent, you probably never thought you’d be going “back to school” again through your children!<\/p>\n

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads (biologically or not). \u00a0You play an important role in the family and have more of an impact than you’ll ever know. \u00a0Enjoy your day!<\/p>\n
