FATHER'S DAY GIFT IDEAS 2O18 - PART 2

Father’s Day is getting closer, not many days to go now… so if you haven’t yet sorted your pressies, they here’s a few more gift ideas for you - and of course if you missed the first instalment of the Father’s Day gift guide, you can see it here.


These days we are all pretty reliant on our mobile phones, and with good reason, but as they do not come cheap, it is important to do what ever you can to protect them - and using the right phone case, can literally make or brake a phone, especially if he’s a little ‘dropsy’ like my hubby. So what better gift than a new phone cover. The Lifeproof NEXT phone case, adds next-level protection and style while letting your phone resist water, as well as its drop-proof, dirt-proof and snow-proof. This phone has with its clear case, may not look much, but it is so cleverly designed that the phone can survive drops from 2 metres, yet the case has a slim and sleek shape and weights just 49g. It comes with a transparent back that still shows the phones finish, and in a selection of colours around the edge, from pink, black, green and grey. It also has clever shields to protect ports, mic and speakers from clogging up with dirt. It is also super light, weighing just 49g. 

If he is one to always get the screen scratched or damaged, a better option may be a case a fully enclosed case offering 360 degree protection thanks to an in-built screen protector such as the Lifeproof FRE phone case. And this case really is designed to withstand extremes, being both waterproof, dirt-proof, snow-proof and drop-proof. With the case, the phone can survive drops from 2 metres, and it is sealed from water, dirt, snow and debris, thanks to the shields that also protects ports, microphone and speakers. Plus the case means the phone will also survive being submerged 2 metres into water for an hour. The case featured super stylish, and also very masculine with its black design and little square window at the back to show off the apple logo, along with lime green features around the outer edge of the case. It is however also available in a range of other colour combination, such as pink/purple, grey/green and blue/green. Some in-built screen protectors often make the phone less responsive to touch, but that is far from the case with this FRE cover, and there is no difference in the phone’s responsiveness.

These pone cases are of premium quality, and designed for action and adventure, and the odd drop along the way, but for peace of mind, they come with a one year warranty too.

If he loves music, you cannot go past this incredible Wonderboom speaker from Ultimate Ears. This speaker is about the size of a large coffee mug, but don't be fooled by its little size, as this portable wireless speaker has incredible big sound that is so clear and crisp, and with a big and full bass too - and it easily gets the beat going in my huge family room - and it has an incredible blue tooth reach too, easily connecting with my phone at the other end of the house too. It comes with a little hook, so you can take it with you every where and hang it just where you need it, such as in the garden, or even in the shower as it is also completely waterproof, or perhaps a trip in the pool where it will float! The Wonderboom is so simple to operate, turning the volume up or down, or play pause or skip till you get to your favourite song. It is also quickly and easy to charge, and once you have, you have a massive 10 hours of music. It is available in a cool range of colours including an adorable pink, purple, grey and black. This is seriously an incredible speaker, with such a great sound, and it looks pretty awesome too, so she'll absolutely love this one.

If there is something my hubby appreciates, it a good cup of coffee. Yes, he likes a drink from time to time, but its the coffee that get’s him going in the mornings, so this coffee from Killer Coffee is the perfect gift (plus I get to enjoy it too, bonus.). Killer Coffee prides themselves of being the Strongest Australian Coffee, with all coffee 100% Australian concocted, roasted and brewed. The blends by their Renegade Roasters™, are using three hand-selected Arabica beans for exceptional flavour and death-defying strength. In fact, Killer Coffee has been scientifically tested and the ‘regular Killer blend’ proven to contain 172 mg of caffeine per 100ml making it six times stronger than a regular cup of coffee, and all without being bitter. 

Then there’s the Killer Coffee’s evil twin brother as they say, which is even ‘deadlier’ and definitely not for coffee-novices, as this Killer Coffee Darkerside contains 10 times more caffeine than regular coffee, and again without being bitter. 

We drink a lot of coffee in our house, and really like these, in particular as our morning coffees to get us up and going for the day, or if you need an extra kick in the afternoon. But Personally I probably wouldn’t recommend drinking in the evening, or at least not the Killer Coffee Darkerside, if you don’t want to be kept up all night. Great tasting quality coffee. We’ve definitely moved to the darker side!
