{KSL Ch 5 Father's Day Fun}
Hats off to the KSL News morning staff. Those guys are amazing & great at what they do. Every time my alarm goes off at 4 AM so I can make it downtown for a 5:45 AM segment I wonder how they do it! Lori Prichard is my main gal (and great reporter) and it seems like every time I sit down with her I ask her the same questions...
#1 How does she get up SO early everyday? She has to be to the newsroom around 4 AM or something crazy.
Answer: She goes to bed at 7PM (if she can) and her husband puts the kids to bed.
#2 When she was in college is this what she imagined?
Answer: NO. Then I say, "I don't know how you do it." Crazy hours, doing TV hair and makeup everyday, trying to figure out what to wear. Ah, I'm tired just thinking about it.:)
#3 What happens after I leave this morning?
Her answer on this one varies, but I always like to hear about whats going down in the newsroom.
So, for me...there's nothing like the thrill of early morning television especially if you don't call yourself an early morning person & we'll be at it bright and early talking about Father's Day Gift ideas!
The Photog Dad's Dream...
Camera Coats: Ditch Your Bag!
Get 20% off your order!
Code: Dad20 Expires: June 17, 2013
Toads's Take:
I had to kick off this Father's Day post with my favorite item...the Camera Coat! Last summer while camping with my family I stuck a Camera Coat (the Alpine Nylon Black Vest) on my brother Peter's Canon. (Sidenote: He runs his own media business -Vivid Frame Media, Portland OR) and is around A LOT of cameras.) I'd been telling him how great they are, but now I had to prove it. After a day he said, "Toad, this Camera Coat really is great!" Thanks Pete.:)
The company's info:
Anyone with an SLR camera needs one of these...especially guys who don't like to carry around bulky bags. How many times have your man left your camera at home because its too much trouble? Camera Coats make taking your SLR with you a cinch. Camera Coats are padded & protective whether your camera is around your neck hiking or in your backpack. $30-65. www.cameracoats.com
Swiss Stays Collar: The Perfect Collar!
Toad's Take:
Here is the perfect gift for the business man. One guy I know comes right to my mind...no, not the husband...my brother Travis. The world has not met a more dapper dude. I know exactly what I'll be sticking in the mail for him this Father's Day! These are adjustable collar stays. (Too bad they don't make these for ladies skirts!:))

Personalized Ties via Daddy Scrubs:
Toad's Take:
#1, this is not my father. #2, if any single ladies are out there and like the model type this guy looks like he might make some cute babies! ;)

Wikki Stix Fixables- For Mr. Fix-It Dad:
Toad's Take:
Duck Tape Dads. These Fixables would be great to give to an "out in the shop" type of Dad for Father's Day. In fact, my Father-In-Law who has every sort of gadget may actually NOT have some of these! Yahoo!
PS I'm taking these to church on Sunday for my boys sit and play with. I think will be on the same page as pipe cleaners, but they stick really well and will be F.U.N.
The Company Info:
Move over duct tape! For the Dad who likes to work in the garage or fix things around the house, Wikki Stix Fixables® are a reusable, affordable solution to so many minor household issues! Fixables are great for organizing the workshop to keep nails, tacks, nuts, bolts, washers, and any small hardware in order and ready for use. Extension cords can be wound up and secured with Wikki Stix to keep them from getting tangled or unwound, too! Dad will love this inexpensive organizing solution!
$4.95 for 24!
The Klitch for the Sporty Dad:
Toad's Take:
Such a simple solution to an awkward problem. Bob (the husband of the house) will be using one of ASAP.
The Company Info:
The Klitch is the hottest new thing on the fitness/sports scene! Great for Dads who play sports, work out, or have an active lifestyle. The Klitch is a footwear clip that allows you to secure any pair of extra sneakers to the outside of your gym bag or backpack. This avoids getting the inside of your bag dirty, smelly, and full. The Klitch can be used for any type of footwear up to 10 pounds.
But don't go too far!!
My next post will be feature AWESOME Dad's day gift from our own Wasatach Farmer's Market Store!
We will have many happy pappy's this Father's Day! :)
XOXO-
Emily aka "Toad"
