Father's Day Gift Guide: ROKiT phone

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

We all know that Dads can be notoriously hard to shop for on Father's Day. This year, gift him something he'll actually use, a new ROKiT phone.

ROKiT, a people-first telecomms company that launched this spring makes it easier than ever to keep in touch with unlimited wifi calling. With or without a SIM card, dad can reach you anytime he's on wifi. The line of affordable mobile handsets (ranging from $34.99 - $299.99) feature perks including ROK Drive (to help you out when you get a flat) and ROK Health (with telemedicine).

If your dad is keeping up with the latest technological advances, he'll get a kick out of watching videos on his new ROKiT IO Pro 3D with glasses-free 3D technology. Through the ROKFLIX 3D app, he’ll have access to an expansive catalogue of feature films and custom content.

We received the ROKiT IO 3D and we are LOVIN' It!

The name speaks for itself. The screen on this unlocked smartphone has glasses-free built-in 3D capability. That's right - you can watch 3D content without glasses. It includes 4G, 16 GB memory, dual-SIM, and a fingerprint sensor.

Every IO Pro purchase includes:

• 12 months of ROK Talk free: Call any number in the US, plus 60 countries.
• 3 months of ROK Media free: Enjoy music, games, TV, Movies, and the world's largest 3D library, all accessible through your ROK Launch Control app.
• 12 months of ROK Health free: Talk to a doctor 24/7, and save up to 70% off prescription medication.

ROKiT phones are the perfect gift for dads because it's something they'll actually use!

Dads are always looking for fun, outdoor activities to share with their family. Enter gardening. Here are products that make any busy dad’s life better and make great gifts this Father's Day:

· Snip and a Cut: A well-pruned plant not only looks better and blooms more, but it is healthier too. Centurion Brand Pro-Adjustable Bypass Pruner ($20.99) cuts through any size branch, making Dad a hero.

I have been using this pruner everywhere around the outside of my house and so has my husband! It is easy to use and cuts cleanly and quickly without a lot of effort! My bushes are thanking me now!

· Compost Tumbler: What better gift for an eco-friendly dad than a compost tumbler? Composting enriches soil, saves water and reduces landfill waste! The best model for small gardens, the Back Porch, ($199) makes compost in as little as 4-6 weeks.

· Plants of Steel: This year, forget a tie. Pick up a hard-to-kill Plant of Steel ($ varies) from Costa Farms. Caring for these green kids is easy. Choose from five low-maintenance varieties to fit dad’s style. Available at your local grocery or garden retailer.

· Strong, Bigger Plants: Dads are always looking for shortcuts. Enter the new soil additive from Earth Alive - Soil Activator. Simply water into your vegetable garden or flower garden and voila, bigger, strong plants to brag about.

Celebrate Father's Day with Glen Grant Whisky

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Got a whiskey-lovin' Dad on your gift list this Father's Day?

Then give them the gift of Glen Grant 15 Year Old single malt Scotch Whisky! This is the third new aged variant from Glen Grant to reach the states, joining the 12 and 18 year old expressions, which launched last year.

Distilled in 2002 and bottled in 2017, Glen Grant 15 is the creation of Dennis Malcom, Glen Grant’s
legendary Master Distiller and one of the longest tenured master distillers in Scotland. He crafted this 15 year old whisky at 50% ABV batch strength to bring an intensified expression to the signature Glen Grant style, noted for its brilliant golden colour and elegant yet complex taste profile.

The liquid is matured in hand selected, first-fill ex-bourbon casks, imparting a beautifully complex flavour, further enhanced by non-chill filtering for a fuller mouthfeel. The final product offers aromas of citrus fruit and toffee, accompanied by a rich palate of spiced pears, tangerines and vanilla. It leaves a nutty finish with delicate notes of soft fruit.

Founded in 1840 by brothers John and James Grant in Rothes, in Speyside, Scotland, Glen Grant boasts a remarkable, double distillation and unique purification process, which sets its award-winning single malts apart from the competition. Tall slender stills and distinctive purifiers, introduced over a century ago by the ingenious James ‘The Major’ Grant and still used to this day, capture only the finest vapors, producing the refined and seductively smooth taste for which Glen Grant is renowned.

Buy It:

You can purchase Glen Grant 15 Year Old for a suggested retail price of the 750ML is $76.99, though exact product availability and pricing may vary depending on region.

Never Hear About Gutters Again from Your Dad Thanks to Gutter Guard!

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Ok, am I the only one that has a husband who has an obsession with our gutters???!!!

He is constantly talking about them, inspecting them, cleaning them and whining about doing all those things! :)

So when I was thinking of what to get him for Father's Day, I could think of nothing better than a product to help his obsession with our gutters!

So I turned to Stainless Steel Gutter Guard and it may be the best Father's Day gift I have ever given my husband! He was instantly in love! 

Stainless Steel Gutter Guard is a Do-It-Yourself gutter guard for dad’s that don’t want to clean their gutters out any more.

These patented stainless steel gutter guards keep leaves, pine needles and roof sand grit out of your gutter so you never have to clean your gutters out again. They are the only UL Certified gutter guards in North America for rainwater harvesting.

The patented V-Bend Technology (VBT) design allows the system to filter rainwater more effectively than other gutter covers. There are no support mechanisms needed under this high performance VBT stainless steel micro-mesh gutter protection system. This allows 100% of the holes to filter rainwater coming down your roof and into your gutter, whereas all other micro-mesh gutter guards have a mechanized support, blocking as much as 60% of the holes.

My husband instantly was inspecting them and seeing how they worked and instantly wanted to get out there and put them up!!

But what he really freaked out about the most was the Gutter Guard Brush!

The Gutter Guard Brush has bristles on five sides of a six sided block to make it very unique in being able to clean off just about anything, at any angle, on any type of gutter guard. Screw on the end of any extension pole, and then from the ground, just reach up and brush off any leaves, pine needles or small debris off the gutter guard. You can also brush off the sides and bottom of gutters as well.

It’s the first cleaning tool ever made for cleaning off any leaves or pine needles that don’t blow off from a gutter guard and it is designed for all gutter guards.

My husband loved the innovation of this tool and will forever be happier about our gutters thanks to Stainless Steel Gutter Guards and the Gutter Guard Brush!

Buy It:

You can purchase the Stainless Steel Gutter Guards from SamsClub.com and HomeDepot.com

The Gutter Guard brush is for sale also at Sam’s Club and Home Depot
