Ever been in the middle of a workout–sopping with sweat, moving like a finely tuned athletic machine, killing the workout–and you start feeling your headband slide up toward the crown of your head. One more push up and swoop–it pops off, leaving your hair free to adhere to your sweaty face and tickle your eye balls (trust me, that isn’t pleasant). This scenario is why Amy Crouse created the Bolder Band, and headband that won’t slip off your head.
There are no neckties in this gift list. Not even funny ones. But there are some other fun items that will make your dad chuckle, and
that he’ll likely use at least sometime between now and next Father’s
Day and maybe even longer. Here are 10 fun Father’s Day gifts for new
dads, old dads, geek dads, golfer dads, foodie dads, and even single
dads….
Get ready, my friends. Get ready to feel all kinds of emotions. Get ready to love, to cry, to hate, to look away, to stop this video in disgust only to start playing it again because you can’t resist keep looking at it. Get ready for every single Nicolas Cage laugh ever compiled in one single video. Enjoy.
I used to scrapbook—yes, I used to take the time to shape photos and
place them over decorative and themed backgrounds and then write
paragraphs of descriptions on each page. That was well before I had
children, when I had time to print pictures and when I had time to sit
and look at them. Since photography has gone digital, my hope has been
to compile photo books for each year’s worth of photos, but I’m seven
years behind schedule. And apparently not up to speed with a new form of
capturing life’s moments. Shapify allows you to create three
dimensional figurines of you and your family. Now you can turn yourself
into an actual 3D selfie.
When you hear "barefoot" or "minimalist" shoes, you probably think of the Vibram FiveFingers.

However, there are other barefoot shoes out there, and for those who still love running "faux naturale," despite recent scrutiny, check out these five alternatives to the big daddy Vibram.
"We combine play with innovative technology to address real-world issues in a meaningful fun way." That’s what Uncharted Play’s website says, and with a product like the SOCCKET Soccer Ball, the ball that generates energy and can charge small electrical devices, they’re living up to that statement.
The annual “Chimelong 10,000 People’s Bikini” event at Guangzhou, China’s Chimelong Water Park involved thousands of bikini-clad girls assembling to form the shape of a leaping dolphin. The stunt’s stated porpoise, er, purpose was to raise awareness of environmental causes.
Pet companies have finally realized that the toys most dogs love make a
noise that’s not a squeak. It’s the crisp, crunchy, crackly sound of a
PET (as in Polyethylene terephthalate)
bottle, the kind that water, soda, and other beverages are generally
bottled in. Whether it’s a preferred sound or the feel of the crunch
that attracts a dog to a water bottle, I can’t say, but dogs love ’em. The question is do you want your dog chewing on a potentially harmful
bottle?
We believe cat cafés were originally a Japanese concept;
at least the world press has given the Japanese credit for them.
According to reports, they are very popular in Tokyo, where a soul can
readily get a yen for cat cuddling in the anonymity of the city. So
too, the folks in New York City might want to get a little free love
during their coffee or tea breaks, but a tip may be required. Cat cafés will open in the U.S. this year, but the competition for the very first cat café is close…
