Father’s Day Gift & Other Finds/Giveaway by Robin Gorman Newman

Periodically I like to review new products that come to my attention….or at least that are new to me…..so I wanted to share about the following.

With Father’s Day approaching, this is a cool company to keep on your radar for this occasion and others.

Jerky isn’t something we keep in the house regularly, so it was a novelty treat to be offered the opportunity to sample something from this company. We ordered the Bacon & Beer Gift Box, and it did not disappoint. My son eagerly dove in to enjoy with my husband, and I sampled a few of the flavors and really liked as well. I had tried beef and turkey jerky in the past, but never bacon. This was well presented and prepared, and it was a nice touch to have the gift items of a glass and bottle opener.

It comes with a variety of bacon jerky flavors, a coaster, a bottle opener, and a pint glass to wash it down with a tasty brew. (Beer not included.) The gift specifically includes:

And, while we did not sample it, I feel compelled to share their cool top selling jerky bouquet….pictured right. Love this concept! It’s almost too pretty to eat!

The idea for the Manly Man Company® came to Greg Murray after a conversation with his wife Jacquie, for whom he had recently bought a bouquet of flowers: Why isn’t there a gift for men that’s equivalent to flowers? Yes, you can buy men flowers, but the practice isn’t what you might call commonplace. The couple speculated that a bouquet of beef jerky might be the perfect stand-in. Soon after his wife surprised Greg with the very first iteration of what is now called “Man Bouquets”— sticks and sheets of jerky carved into the shape of flowers and roses that are presented inside a pint glass or beer mug “vase”.

After the Murray’s discovered man bouquets were the perfect solution for the dilemma of what to get “him” for Valentine’s Day, during their first week in operation, Greg called a high school friend he also knew from Marine Corps— Ben Wynkoop, to join him and Jacquie as the third Co-Founder, and the company was born.

Embossed Co – Rolling Pins

Looking for a way to entertain kids in the kitchen at this time?

The Embossed Co has the answer.

They make sturdy, wooden rolling pins with varied patterns that will transform your baking into works of art! Their patterns are highly detailed and engraved deep into the wood and come in the traditional size, which produces a large engraving pattern making it very versatile for varied…and even craft.

You may also use them for homemade noodles or pasta. And, they can be used with clay or other art mediums.

I tried out the Floral pattern with birds, pictured, and made sugar and chocolate chip cookies. I was pleased with the results.

The rolling pins are made from 100% pure high-grade solid beech wood and are 100% food-safe and free of BPA or any other toxic substances. As a result, these 3D rolling pins are heirloom-quality and will last a lifetime.

Cleaning them after use is easy. In most cases, you can use a dry brush (without water) in order to remove stuck-on dough. If needed, add water and soap to the brush, and dry well before using again. Do not put the rolling pin in the dishwasher and avoid any prolonged contact with water.

The company donates 15% of our profit to several non-profit organizations that work to supply healthy meals to malnourished families in impoverished communities in developing countries.

The rolling pins make for a lovely gift item. And, if there happens to be a dog lover in your life….the pattern (left) is adorable.
