Father’s Day Gift Giveaway: Jabra Wireless Gear!

Father’s Day Gift Giveaway: Jabra Wireless Gear!

Jabra HALO [Amazon]

The Jabra HALO is a wireless Bluetooth stereo headset that allows users to enjoy wireless music and answer phone calls in crystal clear stereo sound.  Featuring A2DP technology, the Jabra HALO gives users the ability to seamlessly connect to any Bluetooth music-playing device – and all 3.5 mm music playing devices – including mobile phones, Mp3 players, laptops, and TVs.  In addition, ensuring that users won’t miss phone calls while listening to music, the HALO fades out music to allow for incoming calls. The HALO features a lightweight (only 3 ounces!) over-the-head design with a foldable headband – small enough to take it wherever you go.  The HALO also has the versatility to switch between wireless and wired connectivity if a device doesn’t support Bluetooth stereo (A2DP) technology.  The device also features Zirene® Power Bass for audio enhancement.


Jabra STONE [Amazon]

The Jabra STONE, the most sleek and stylish Bluetooth on the market allows busy moms to look good on the go. The STONE elegantly wraps behind the ear eliminating the on-face microphone look, combining style and function. Make play dates, speak to colleagues, or make dinner plans for a girl’s night out – all without anyone even knowing you are wearing a Bluetooth device! New noise cancelling technology ensures every phone call will be clear and uninterrupted by whatever noise surrounds you throughout your day.  In addition, the STONE comes with a portable charger so it is always easy to re-charge.


Jabra CRUISER [Amazon]

The Jabra CRUISER is the first Bluetooth wireless speakerphone to feature noise cancelling technology, allowing it to block out background noise from traffic or other passengers while enhancing the quality of your voice. In addition, the CRUISER can play music from the radio and your phone or portable music players (iPod/MP3 players) through your cars stereo system, so you’ll never miss a call because you couldn’t hear your phone. The CRUISER allows you to speak on the phone when you drive in compliance to hands free driving laws, making it extremely useful for moms on the go whether you are driving to soccer practice or going to work.  Never again will you have a frustrating phone call where you have to repeat everything you say because no one can hear you over the kids singing along in the backseat!

Jabra’s Website [Link]

I’ve had all three of these devices for a few weeks now and I can tell you how cool they are until you’ve got them in your hands – the sound is amazing! Best part is if your using these to speak with someone, they can actually hear you! I had these devices synced to my iPhone 3G in less then 2 minutes.

It was that easy!

The Halo works as wireless headphones and also a headset mic. The sound that comes out of these speakers is amazing and crystal clear.

The Stone is a typical bluetooth headset expect the base part of it will recharge the wireless piece this is great for the always on the phone executive or just on the go dad.

It frees up your hands when pushing a stroller too!

The Cruiser is a speaker phone (designed for the car) but will work anyplace – the speaker is at least 5 times louder then the speaker built into the iPhone (meaning you can actually use a speaker phone call).

I love these products so much I wanted to give everyone a shot at winning.  There will be 3 – yes THREE winners 1 prize per person.

The Evolution of Dad DVD giveaway

The Evolution of Dad DVD giveaway

Unless you’ve been living under a rock (or in a cave) the world is changing the role of Dad is changing. The Evolution of Dad (www.evolutionofdad.com) explores how fatherhood has evolved over time, what its impact has been on family and society, and how fatherhood will likely continue to change.

A filmmaker and screenwriter by trade, Glazer happily became the primary caregiver for his kids, but quickly found himself having conflicted feelings about his new role.  Realizing there has never been a documentary film to fully explore what it means to be an American dad, Glazer committed himself to the undertaking.

With expert commentary from leading sociologists, psychiatrists, and family law specialists, as well as profiling some of the most unique and heroic dads of the new millennium, The Evolution of Dad digs deep to uncover the challenges many of today’s fathers are facing and reveals how dads can make a stronger and more positive impact on family life and society as a whole.

As a result, the film is poised to challenge and potentially change many of the misconceptions that people have about what it means to be a father.  Beyond its educational merit, Glazer believes that watching the film for many people will be both emotional and inspirational, allowing them to openly share their feelings about their own experiences with fatherhood.
