Father's Day Gift Round-up Part Deux!!

Not quite done with Father’s Day shopping ideas yet.
Tech Gadgets continued.
For the traveler and the budget-minded dad (or anyone), Balanzza came out with this cool gadget that weighs your baggage so that you know if you are over the limit.

The Balanzza digital scale weighs in pounds or kilograms and holds up to 100 pounds. It’s easy to use! Simply attach the strong Balanzza strap to your luggage, use the handle to lift your luggage with one or two hands, hold it still until you hear the beep which indicates that the weight has been registered and stored on the display, set the luggage down and read the weight. Unlike other luggage scales there are no hooks to deal with and the indication beep make it easier to use and read. Weighing 10 oz and with its compact size, Balanzza is easy to pack on your trip and assist you on your way back. Whether you are returning with souvenirs and gifts or brochures and samples from a business trip your luggage can often weigh more than it did when you left home. The Balanzza digital luggage scale is always with you to help you save money and avoid excess weight surcharges. Requires 2 AAA batteries. MSRP $24.99 www.balanzza.com

Fragrance
Typically this might be in a groming section but it really belongs in a category of its own because unique men’s fragrances are hard to find. You can find a ton of stuff at your department store from Diesel Fuel for LIfe , CK, Ed Hardy/Christian Audigier and other brands at the mass market like Mustang and other older fragrances. But do you really want the man in your life to smell like everyone else? NOPE!!
Instead check out Luckyscent.com for some of the most interesting and innovative fragrance assortments around!

Cereus No 5 is a heady blend for men and sure to capture someone’s attention with notes like Fennel, Italian Bergamot, Lemon Murcia from Spain, Cardamom, Quince, Licorice Bark, Spider Orchid, Haitian Vetiver, Amber, and Cedar. It’s definitely a masculine scent. Not inexpensive by any means, it’s definitely a fragrance that will last and can possibly be worn by those who like to wear a more masculine scent for day or night (women that is)

Escentric Molecules creates highly unique scents– and this one tends to be a bit lighter and more unisex but clean and fresh. There’s a reason why you might want to buy it because the office and daytime should be a time when you should smell clean yet sexy– and Escentric Molecules 02 is just that scent. Silky, subtle, yet still present after several hours, it’s sexy with a slow soft undercurrent of this single ingredient known as ambroxen. If there ever was a scent that could work on just about anyone– and everyone — this is it. $140.00 and worth every penny and worth waiting for if you order it NOW!

Fashion
Men tend to think of Father’s Day fashion as weird shirts and ties. Skip that and give Dad a couple of GREAT things from Vilebrequin, the French men (and boys) leisure fashion line.
We have 3 things to feature from Vilebrequin — and at least one is sure to suit the dad in your life!

Men’s Bahamas swim trunks in navy. $200.00. Available in other colors as well.

This gorgeous pink linen shirt is ideal for summer but could be worn under a lightweight more casual suit or blazer and khakis or jeans. $189.00. Available in white, light blue, blue, lime, pink and orange.
Wine and beverages
Wine and spirits are always a safe bet for men/dads of any age.
Michael David Winery is known for unusual wines like the 7 Deadly Zins and 7 Heavenly Chards (see the 12 Drinks of Christmas posts). Now the winery has 2 new releases that will please serious wine drinkers as well as those who are less so.

For those with a lighter wine taste, Incognito Pink is a blend of Syrah, Mourvedre and Carignane are used to create a tasty lighter pink wine that has a frutiy presentation yet has serious wine value

For a serious enophile, there is the Petite Petit , a Petite Sirah and Petit Verdot blend that is a bit lighter than a Pinot Noir but definitely can hold its own. It’s full of blueberry, plum, violet and chalky tannins to give you a full-bodied presentation.

And for those dads who love to mix up a great drink or fancy themselves a mixologist, this Ultimate Bar Book.from Cole Haan is a great gift and something a man wouldn’t necessarily buy for himself but would love to have. $25.00 from Cole Haan stores.
Have a great Father’s Day to dads of all ages!!
