Happy Father's Day

 

Must Haves For Your Next BBQ

I received these products from Carpathen for review.  They offer a variety of flamping, BBQ and gardening products.  They also have an Amazon store.  Whether you're looking for a last minute Father's Day gift, or just something that will make your summer BBQs tastier and easier, you're going to love these products.

The Z-Smoker Pellet Tube will transform your grill into a smoker.  Due to its small size, this pellet tube smoker fits inside most grills to make it super easy to add a delicious wood smoked flavor to your food without needing an expensive cold smoker.  Just fill the smoker tube with food grade wood pellets in the flavor of your choice and light.  You'll get 5 hours of thin blue smoke that will infuse your meat with an awesome smoky flavor.  Works great with pork, ribs, cured meat, hot dogs, sausages, chicken, cheese, fish and more.

The Z-Smoker kit includes:  

• 1 Smoke tube
• 1 Smoking Guide with Amazing Delicious Recipes and Smoking Tips in digital format
• 1 Meat Temperature Chart (in digital format)
• 1 Marinade
• Rubs and BBQ Sauces Guide (in digital format)
• 1 Pellet Tube Smoker User Guide (hard copy)
• 1 Canvas Bag for Easy Storage

You get everything you need to have a wonderfully delicious BBQ.  You can also find the Z-Smoker on Amazon.

Nothing says summer like roasting hot dogs and marshmallows over a campfire.  These Roasting Sticks make it super easy and convenient to roast these delicious campfire staples.  No need to wander around in the woods searching for suitable branches to clumsily chop for a decent roasting stick.  These roasting sticks are perfect.  

They telescope like a radio antenna to extend from 10" to 34" to create the perfect length.  The fork can rotate independently from the handle with just two fingers on the colored plastic ring.  The handles are made of natural wood and are comfortably pleasant to hold.  And heat is not conducted through the rod, so there's no danger of being burnt from holding them.

The set includes six different ring colors on the handles, making it easy to tell which stick belongs to who.   This is essential when you have more than one child because children fight over everything!  Clean up is super easy, simply wipe with a wet cloth and a little soap.  Then retract the handles and place the sticks back in the included zippered bag.  

They're compact, easy to store and convenient to carry, making it easy to take along with you on all of your adventures.  You can also find these Roasting Sticks on Amazon.

The Perfect Sweater For Every Occasion

I received this product from Oliver Charles for review.

This Crew Neck Sweater ($225) will quickly become your favorite article of clothing.  It's stylish, comfortable, unisex and versatile.  It works just as well for everyday wear when paired with jeans as it does for dressy occasions paired with a skirt or dress pants.  There are six different colors to choose from (undyed, emerald blue, light grey, charcoal, dark red and navy blue), and since it is so soft and comfortable, you're probably going to want one in every color!

This sweater is perfect for all ages.  Sizes range from XXS to XXL and it's actually true to size.  It wears with a slimming professional fit and will shape itself to your body to fit both broader and narrower shoulder lines.  It's roomy in the armpits, so it won't ride up or bunch up when you raise your arms, and it will fit those with longer arms and taller torsos as well.

The sweater is made of khullu, the wool fiber that grows around the neck and belly of the Tibetan yak.  Khullu is known for its durability, comfort and antimicrobial properties.  Yet, it remains soft and luxurious to the touch.  It's soft like cashmere, but easier to care for (it's machine washable) and better for the planet than synthetics.  

3D-knitted in 1 entire piece, there are no seams means there is less fabric waste while the strength is increased.  This also give it greater mobility and comfort.  The hidden aerated knit helps to regulate heat.  It will keep you warm, yet remains breathable.  Another great thing about this sweater is that it doesn't trap odors! 

You'll love this soft and comfortable sweater so much!  It's perfect for even the most sensitive skin, and you will revel in the softness!

Breathe Fresh And Cleaner Air

I received this product from GermGuardian for review.  If you're looking for ideas for Father's Day gifts, then consider giving Dad the gift of fresh, clean air to breathe.  

The GermGuardian AC4825 ($99.99) is a true HEPA air filter that reduces up to 99.97% of harmful germs, dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores and other allergens as small as .3 microns from the air in your home.  Its quiet operation won't disturb you at all.  In fact, you can even use the lowest setting as gentle white noise at night for a quiet, restful sleep.

The UV-C light helps kill airborne viruses such as influenza, staph, rhinovirus and works with Titanium Dioxide to reduce volatile organic compounds.  The pre-filter traps dust, pet hair and other allergens while extending the life of the HEPA filter.  And the activated charcoal filter helps to reduce unwanted odors from pets, smoke, cooking fumes and more.  As a result, the air in your home is fresher, cleaner and far more healthy to breathe.

You can easily customize your air purifier with the 3 speed settings.  It has an ultra quiet mode on the lowest speed setting, and an optional UV-C light on an easy to use top panel.  You can use this air purifier in any room of your house, it's made for medium to large rooms up to 153 sq. feet.  

What better gift could you give Dad than something that will help him be healthier and happier?  He'll love this air purifier!
