A cool online place to shop: FairIndigo.com

January 16, 2009 By: Amy Category: Babies, His and Hers, Products

Today, so many companies claim that they are “going green” or selling “organic” products. It still leaves me wondering how true that really is. Are these companies really all that transparent about their business practices?

I recently learned about FairIndigo.com and if you read their About page, well, it doesn’t get any more transparent than that. This company stands behind its values. They are a Fair Trade company, paying workers what they’re worth and manufacturing and selling quality recycled and organic products.

A brand new product on the Fair Indigo roster are the Joobles. The Joobles are soft, knitted stuffed animals that would make a perfect baby gift. They are manufactured using eco-friendly dyes and organic yarns.

joobles A cool online place to shop: FairIndigo.com

There is a handful of these adorable stuffed animals to choose from, as well as matching sweater, hat and mitten sets. An excellent gift for the baby.

There are other gift options at FairIndigo.com besides gifts for the baby. They have apparel and accessories for him and her, as well. I believe they offer $5 shipping to boot. Happy shopping!

Zivio Boom by Joby

October 22, 2008 By: Amy Category: Contests, His and Hers, Products

*Congratulations to our winner, Karen!

zivio teaser trim Zivio Boom by Joby

I’ve been using my Zivio Boom Bluetooth for several months now and I love this fabulous little headset! It’s sleek and pretty, to boot. The sound quality is exceptional and I have had no complaints from my callers. I think that can be attributed to the Zivio’s boom. It’s a law here in Chicago that you’re “hands-free” while driving. So, I’m doing it in style!

We’re giving one of these beauties away. Fill out the entry form below for your chance to win. This giveaway ends on Wednesday, November 12th. A winner will be selected randomly and notified via email (check your spam) on the morning of the 13th. We’ll also announce the winner on this post.

*Hint: To enter, we’re asking you a question below. Click HERE and see the “specs” section and then “Why the Boom?” to pick an answer!

Products: MusicSkins

October 07, 2008 By: Eric Category: Products

My old iPod is scratched up like crazy so if I ever get another one, I’ll need some protection. I could get a gel case, a hard acrylic case, or even a leather pouch, but they are all a bit too bulky. One cool alternative is to slap MusicSkins on your device. They are skins made from premium grade 3M vinyl with a high gloss over laminate and adhesive that removes without leaving a residue. Yeah, these are basically durable protective stickers that will protect your iPod or other device from scratches while making it look sweet. You can get designs from groups like Saves The Day, Thrice, Dr. Manhattan, Young Jeezy, Senses Fail, and tons more like Obama and McCain designs. My wife is rocking a red Alkaline Trio design on her iPod while I’ve got a Coheed & Cambria logo on mine. I’ve actually had at least a half dozen of my co-workers comment about the MusicSkin on my iPod and even if some of them think it now looks a bit strange, at least my keys aren’t still scratching it up when I throw it in my pocket.

Ducti Tapebomb Watch

September 27, 2007 By: Eric Category: His and Hers, Products

ducti tapebomb Ducti Tapebomb Watch

It is easy to remember a time in my skateboarding past when shoes would be patched with duct tape. It was functional, durable, and cheap solution to a common problem. I never thought (however) that duct tape would ever be fashionable. Leave it up to Ducti to do just that. The Ducti Tapebomb watch is a great looking watch that featured a band made from duct tape. The distinctive look is sure to turn heads and have people asking all sorts of questions about it.

Electric Gauge Sunglasses

August 02, 2007 By: Eric Category: Dads, Products

electric gauge Electric Gauge Sunglasses

My daughter calls sunglasses “dudes,” so if I’m gonna be “the dude” then I want the most stylish sunglasses I can find. The new Gauge sunglasses from Electric Visual are some of the coolest we’ve seen. I’d even consider getting my daughter a pair of these, but she is a monster that would snap the 8 base grylamide frame in half in seconds flat.

nixon51 30 Nixon 51 30

Every dad needs a functional everyday watch that looks great too. That’s where the new Nixon 51-30 comes in. With a brushed stainless finish, 300M water resistance, and Swiss movement, this is a watch that can survive bath time splashing and a night out on the town.
