June is the month of dads and grads. We recognize dad for all that he does throughout the year on Father’s Day, and celebrate students graduating throughout the country for all they have accomplished in school. Now, it’s time to find the perfect gifts to honor both of these important occasions.

This year, try skipping the usual suspects and opt for tech gifts that fit their style and personality. Emmy-award winning technology and trends expert Brett Larson has the scoop on five great gifts for every dad and grad on your list.

1. SunBriteTV’s Signature Series SB-4660HD. Dads will love SunBriteTV’s all-weather television, designed for permanent outdoor use. It successfully transforms any backyard into a modern entertainment space for all occasions. A SunBriteTV is the ideal social upgrade for sporting events, award show viewing parties or even family movie nights under the stars.

2. LG TONE+ Wireless Stereo Headset. It offers the high-quality listening experience of stereo sound with the convenience of Bluetooth wireless technology. The headset is lightweight and easy to wear, allowing the user to stay connected and multi-task — whether making calls on the go or listening to music while working out. It even has noise-canceling technology for crystal-clear calls and a long-lasting battery.

Swatting at gnats and bugs all day is literally — and figuratively — a pain in the neck. But did you know that the same product you use to massage away those aches and pains can also keep those pesky bugs away in the first place?

W.F. Young, Inc., the marketers of Absorbine Jr. Pain Relieving Liquid, often hear just that.

“We noticed an increase in the number of inquiries to our customer service department regarding Absorbine Jr. and its ability to help with gnats,” said Robert J. Wallace, Vice President of Sales at W.F. Young, Inc. “We do not market or make any claims that Absorbine Jr. helps in this way, but it became a word-of-mouth phenomenon. We also heard from our retailers that they couldn’t keep the product on their shelves.”

Shinn Bussel, a general merchandise/drug manager at the Schnuck’s supermarket in Betendorf, Iowa, is just one of those retailers amazed at the product’s popularity. “After watching Absorbine Jr. fly off the shelves, I decided to try it myself and was amazed,” she said. “I don’t know what makes the product so effective, but the swarming gnats left me alone.”

So what’s the secret? The product, originally intended to provide temporary relief of muscle aches, pains, strains, backache and arthritis, is believed to drive gnats away with its unique scent, which comes from natural menthol, absinthium oil, wormwood oil and other herbal ingredients.

The discovery of Absorbine Jr.’s dual purpose has left the pain reliever in high demand. Luckily, the makers have dramatically increased production to meet the influx of new customers eager to experience its many benefits.

“People now know that they can depend on Absorbine Jr. to be there to help them not only with their muscle aches and pains, but those pain-in-the-neck gnats,” said Wallace.
