Gifting Green for Father's Day

We don't think we'd be too far off in saying that most dads out there enjoy gadgets. If you're looking for a last-minute gift to show Dad you care, consider one of these techie gizmos that will help contribute to a better earth:


Kill-a-Watt: Use one of these power meters to find out which appliances are the energy abusers in your house!


You simply plug this device into a 3-prong grounded outlet, and plug your appliance, computer, lamp, or other electrical product into the device and you'll find out how efficient (or wasteful) they really are! On the large LCD display you can monitor he kilowatt hour consumption of an item to learn how much it costs to run. You can determine your electrical expenses by day, week, or month!


(Let Dad turn this into a fun hunt to find out how much energy your appliances are sucking with the kids on Father's Day!)

Smart Strip: Plug your electronics into one of these smart power strips to eliminate vampire loads and save money! Stop paying for electricity that you're not using. The smart strip uses technology to shut the electric current off when an appliance isn't being used, because they still pull electricity from the grid (they're so smart they know when to turn on and off!).

One other potential gift we could not resist telling you about for Dad is the "MAN's LUNCHBOX". We heard through the grapevine that men are packing their lunches, or hoping to, but it's not manly to pack a lunch in a visible manner. As the manufacturing company, KoKo, puts it,

“There was no lunch bag available for the average working man – the man who’s sick of fast food and high-priced take out, the man who’s concerned about what he eats but doesn’t want everyone to know, the man who wants to bring his lunch but has to resort to a plastic bag”, states Andrew Menceles, president of Cosmoda Corporation and creator of the KOKO brand. “FreshPocket™ is the MAN’S lunchbox, the first lunchbox designed for the average working man”.

The Man's Lunchbox is another gift that shows Dad you care!
