This week is mostly about Fathers.  Yesterday we pretty much did the “fashion” with NUMBER:lab.  So easy to like and to wear their clothing!  Todays post is about other fun eco gifts for Dad. This is a fun list combined from Inhabitots Green Father’s Day Gift Guide (by Desmond Williams, 06/13/10) and Ecouterrs - 14 Green Father’s Day Gifts for Eco-Savvy Dads (by Jasmin Malik Chua, 06/12/11.)  Although it may not be the right gift for your dad it makes for some fun reading! 

“Dads have come a long way since the days of the stereotypical cigar chomping, garage tinkering, newspaper-at-the-breakfast-table men of the recent past. Nowadays more and more dads are becoming nurturing, early adapting, fashion forward, artistic, eco-responsible individuals. In other words, we’re not our dads dads. So on this Fathers Day let’s celebrate with green-minded, stylish, thoughtful gifts that fit the bill. From recycled necktie wallets to wooden harddrives, here are a few of our favorite eco gifts for the modern dad.” Pictures above- links below.

The iGrill is available at Apple stores and through the product website, for US$99.99. It currently comes only in white, although a black version is coming out in February, along with custom skins “in a variety of colors and styles to express your individual mood” (oh, brother). An Android version is also in the works.  the iGrill also works as a stand-alone tool. Sealed controls allow you to enter the desired temperature directly on the device itself, which has its own LED temperature display, and which will beep when the meat is done. If you do take advantage of its Bluetooth feature, it will be able to communicate with your chosen i-whatzit from a range of over 200 feet (61 meters.)
