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

My husband works in his garage A LOT and, when he saw my new Nova S 50W RGB Floodlight, he was really excited to use it!!

It is the newest product in Nova series with 16 remote-controllable RGB colors, perfect for garden, stage, party, decoration and working in the garage!

We also love to entertain, have people over in the summer and have outdoor parties! This Flood Light is perfect for these events and I LOVE how you can display 16 colors with it! You can create any mood at any time!

Smaller yet stronger, powerful, and built like a tank, the all-new LOFTEK Nova S features a special-made, fully-functional remote, a power supply with waterproof sealant, a 5-foot UL-listed plug, and a reliable LED chip.

It also features a 120° beam angle; vertically-rotatable with an attached adjustable mounting bracket. A built-in memory function automatically saves your settings when the device is turned off.

With powerful 16-color RGB lighting and four pattern modes (flash/strobe/fade/smooth), you can customize your floodlight’s settings to get precise, customized lighting effects, all via remote control.

And my favorite part - it is built to last!!! The LOFTEK NOVA S LED flood light is built with die-cast aluminum housing and impact-resistant tempered glass. It is rated IP66 (completely sealed against dust ingress and moderate water jets) and optimized for heat dispersal and energy efficiency. A sturdy bracket lets you mount the light wherever you want.

Whether you need to illuminate your garden, worksite, stage, party, or holiday display, the LOFTEK Nova S 50W floodlight can do it all!

Give Peace of Mind to Dad with the MyQ Garage from @ChamberlainDIY

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

Ok, I will be honest with you....my husband is kind of a worry wart. He worries if he shut the lights off when he leaves the house, whether he locked every door and window before going to bed and whether we shut off the water in the cabin and locked the door before leaving. And, of course, he also worries whether he shut the garage door when we leave for the weekend. They are all valid worries but I have always wished I could give him peace of mind for Father's Day and one less thing to worry about but didn't know how until now!

This Father's Day, my husband is getting MyQ Garage and now he will have one less thing to worry about when he leaves the house, when we go on vacation or when we need to let someone in our house to check on something!

Chamberlain, the leading maker of garage door openers, offer this awesome solution – MyQ Garage. This DIY device and app can be installed by anyone with a screwdriver and ladder. Once operating, MyQ Garage let’s you check if the garage door is indeed closed from any smartphone. You can even open and close it remotely to let a friend in or have a package stowed away. And the app will alert you if the door opens.

I love that it installs in minutes and works with your home’s Wi-Fi plus it has a free app with no monthly or ongoing service fees so you really are all set once you buy the initial unit.

Included in the box is: Wi-Fi Hub, door sensor, mounting bracket, power cord and instructions for free app download.

However, keep in mind that it is designed to work with garage door openers that use safety reversing sensors located at the bottom of the garage door track.

So make your Dad or husband feel secure and take one less worry away from their already full plate - with MyQ Garage they can control their garage door from anywhere in the world via WI-FI and their smartphone.

It’s the gift of peace of mind....and that is truly priceless.

Buy It:

You can purchase the MyQ Garage for $129.99 from the Chamberlain website.

Great Gift Idea for the Active Dad: LiftMaster Universal Mini Remote Control

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

We are big walkers in this family and I am going in the garage, getting the stroller, grabbing our garage remote from the car and heading out on a walk several times a day. It is such a hassle to have to take the one out of the car every time because I usually forget to put it back in...which poses a problem every time I drive away in the car and have no way to shut the garage door....

That is why I am SO HAPPY to now have the LiftMaster Universal Mini Remote Control! I have a new way to get back into the home after a walk, run or bike ride – and I don't have to remember to grab a different garage remote, bring a house key or risk any one leaving the garage door open.

The Universal Mini Remote Control, developed by LiftMaster, weighs just 1.6 ounces and can easily attach to a key ring, lanyard, backpack or exercise apparel – and makes for the perfect Father’s Day gift. The remote provides an easy way for active homeowners to access their home via the garage, even when they’re on the go.

Plus, it is super simple to program and compatible with more than 90 percent of garage door openers! That is a must for me! And, the Mini Universal Remote Control features two independent buttons to allow the operation of two different garage doors. The Mini Universal Remote also offers optimal security benefits. With a functional and portable design, homeowners never have to worry about leaving a remote in the car, and with LiftMaster's built-in Security+ 2.0®, the remote has increased range and performance.

As one component of LiftMaster's Universal product line, the remote complements the Universal Keyless Entry pad or the 2-Button Universal Remote Control (with visor clip), forming a complete garage access system.

This mini remote control is now an essential for me every time I leave the house on a walk, run, bike ride or even garage saleing. I love that it clips easily on my stroller, clothes or even in my pocket. Plus, it is a great gift idea for any Dad this Father's Day!
