Father’s Day Gift Guide & GIVEAWAY!
**Contest Closed** Congrats to our winner, Vickie Couturier!
Father’s Day is June 21st, do you have the man in your life covered? Here are some fabulous ideas for all those amazing dads out there that we love so much!
Grill Charms(pictured above) make the absolute perfect Father’s Day Gift. After all, BBQ season is in full effect this time of year and these innovative charms are sure to put a smile on the proud Grill Master’s face.
We also love that these smart charms were invented by a fabulous mom entrepreneur! There are lots of cool charms and charm sets available. Grill Charms would make a great present on their own but would also fit perfectly in a BBQ themed gift basket or tucked inside a new grill!

Nothing beats a cool tee for dad! We’re loving the awesome tees available at Ex-Boyfriend Collection. Offering an amazing selection of urban-inspired designs, there’s plenty to choose from at this fun site. Also available are kids tees in similar styles, which we think is a very cool way to do “daddy and me” outfits.
Ex-Boyfriend Collection is a go-to site for cool threads and accessories. We are totally crushing on their messenger bags, which would also make a great gift for dad!
So what is the special daddy in OUR house getting this year? A new pair of kicks! The Coronado from KEEN to be exact. These casual cool shoes are a modern dad must-have. Stylish yet comfy so papa bear can still chase after his cubs.
KEEN is known for their high quality footwear and we are HUGE fans! They have so many great styles for men, women, and children (and an awesome selection of bags too!) If you’re an outdoors loving family, you will absolutely love KEEN!
How cool is this vest? Would you ever guess it’s carrying diapers and all the essentials? Yep, that’s right, this sporty vest is actually a wearable diaper bag! It’s just one of the many cool dad products available at Dad Gear.

If James Bond and Tim the Tool Man Taylor collaborated to make a diaper bag, this would be the end result, theBaggino Diaper Bag . This clever bag was designed by a very practical traveling dad. The Baggino Diaper Bag easily converts from a messenger bag to a changing tool belt, perfect for cramped public changing rooms. There is a compartment for all of the necessities, even water bottles for the grown ups! The combination diaper bag and changing belt comes in three waterproof color choices, and no worries dads, pink is not one of them. The messenger bag style allows you to carry the bag easily with the padded shoulder strap, preventing it from falling down your arm while carrying baby like most tote style bags. There is a place for your cell phone, a very good sized rolled up changing pad and even a special compartment for your baby wipes complete with an opening flap for wipe removal. The only thing that gave me a hard time was there were no compartments big enough to store my cloth diapers, I had to roll them up… but I would imagine that if I were out traveling I probably would not be using and carting around soiled cloth diapers, that would not be ideal.
Bagginooffers the full size messenger bag as well as a junior size and an insulated bottle bag that keeps baby’s bottles cold or hot for up to four hours. Baggino has thought of everything to make traveling more convenient and enjoyable!
Extra Fabulous! One lucky reader will win a Baggino Diaper Bag!
To enter, click over to www.baggino.comand check out all of their smart products. Then, leave a comment on this post telling us why you would love to win a Baggino Diaper Bag for yourself or the man in your life! YOU MAY ENTER ONCE A DAY during the duration of this contest. You have until Father’s Day, June 21st to enter. Winner will be announced on June 22nd and notified via email. Winner will be chosen randomly using random.org.
Good luck and thanks to Baggino for sponsoring this Fab Swag Giveaway!

Oh my goodness! Why didn’t I think of this bag!!!!
We travel quite a bit. My husband is from Europe and all his family is there. So, plans, trains and automobiles! That’s us! Do you know how many disgusting bathrooms we have been in and creatively found ways to change diapers in a sanitary manner?!?
This bag is awesome.

With a diaper bag that doubles as a toolbelt, my husband may even use it without complaint!

What an amazing concept?!?! People are just so clever now-a-days with their great ideas.
My son-in-law is going to be a Daddy again in August and this bag would be perfect for him (and my daughter).
June 8th, 2009 at 6:05 pm
How do people keep coming up with such GREAT ideas!!!! This bag looks AWESOME and the fact that it never has to touch the floor is FANTASTIC!!! My husband would love this bag
June 8th, 2009 at 6:07 pm
Hello! I don’t like setting my purse or changing bag down in most places.
They are cramped and sometimes a bit dirty. This bag changing from a messenger bagto a changing toolbox is great! My husband and I would enjoy sharing this remarkable bag. Love the black one. Many thanks, Cindi

This bag is amazing…I remember one of the worst parts about changing my daughter’s diaps in icky places was finding somewhere to put the diaper bag and feeling like I needed to share my bottle of sanitizer with my bag after I was done! With our son due in a month, I would love to have this bag for my hubby–and me to share of course

Thanks

I love the insulated bottle bag!
Very important for the little ones I have! It would be great for us to have a place to hang the baby’s drink and keep it cool!
June 8th, 2009 at 6:52 pm
wow. it’s funny watching the demo videos… it really is like a tool belt for men! This would be fabulous and handy for my handy dandy hubby… so convenient with all the pockets, neatly organizing the wipes and diapers, etc. If we win this, no more lugging my girly diaper bag with him to the restroom to change the baby
June 8th, 2009 at 7:54 pm
i would love to win one becuase they’re so simple and stylish and don’t even look like a traditional diaper bag
June 8th, 2009 at 8:35 pm
Great bags! My husband may finally want to carry the diaper bag instead of pushing the stroller!
June 8th, 2009 at 9:22 pm
This would be so nice to have ,so Dad can be helful with his own bag,my husband hates to go out with our bag,now he can have a nice one of his own,an pack what he thinks he needs in it too!
June 8th, 2009 at 11:01 pm
This is totally a big my dear husband can get on board with.
In fact, since I’m not really a girly-girl, sounds like my kind of bag!

With this awesome bag, hubby will be the coolest dad on the block! I’m sure he’d love to demonstrate to other dads how it works!
June 22nd, 2009 at 2:57 am
This bag looks like it could hold alot, which is good since I seem to carry everything but the kitchen sink!
