My wife loves photos. Truth be told I take 99% of the photos that we have, so I like photos too. She is the more creative gift giver in the house without a doubt and calendars, cards or photo reprints are her go to gifts. Rite Aid has some groovy coupons that they asked me to share with you and offered up a canvas print and some customized photo cards for one lucky winner also.
The Deck by SOL Republic is their first Bluetooth speaker. Back in the day I had speakers that were 4’ tall, massive black and tan things that weighed 30 pounds each. They were a different kind of speaker. The Deck by SOL Republic provides outstanding sound, weighs about 2 pounds and has a couple of neat features that you wouldn’t expect.

Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day are bookend holidays. You’ve got major religious holidays between them and all sorts of retail sales, family obligations and social events jammed in too. The bookend dates, and the New Years Resolutions that follow, highlight things that we could and in some cases should do every day.

I’ve never had a Duck Dynasty or ZZ Top style beard, but I bet it’s one I could do with ease. The MicroTouch ONE is the modern version of the classic safety razor. For my shave it’s a step up from waxing but not quite as good as how we’re doing it now.

Our four-year old boy loves the family tablet. It was a handy potty training device and quite useful when on road trips. However recently it has become an issue because of one word: YouTube. One day he discovered an ‘R’ rated, unauthorized version of a cartoon that he loves. We were in the same room and turned it off immediately; but it was apparent that the learning aspect of tablets comes with a side that we don’t want him to be exposed to. Enter the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3. It was created by someone who needed a kid’s tablet while not worrying about the wrong kind of barnyard video spoiling the fun.

As the dad to a 4 year old we know Jake and the Never Land Pirates. And by know I mean love, he loves the characters and we don’t even have cable. He gets all of his Never Land knowledge from friends and his one trip to Walt Disney World. Jake and the Never Land Pirates Shipwreck Beach Treasure Hunt game is a game that combines matching, a little bit of sleuthing and physical activity.
