The OG Man In Our Life - A Father's Day Product Review Guide

"Dads are most ordinary men turned by love into heroes, adventurers, storyteller, singers of song."--Pam Brown

Edible Skinny would like to take this moment to thank Dads (yeah, all Dads) for all they do!

From being our rock to teaching us to rock it out! From teaching us the rules to teaching us the importance of breaking them.

We never say it enough, but we are forever grateful for our forever lessons from learning to tie our shoes to the art of negotiating. And in honor of the original King of the Castle, here are some Father's Day suggestions for the OG man in our life!

For the Artsy On-The-Go Dad - Capture (V3) Camera Clip ($69.95)

This simple hack is Auh-Mazing for your Canon Rebel toting Dad! The all-new Capture is the most secure, convenient, accessible way to carry your camera. Unlike a standard camera strap, Capture keeps your camera rigidly stable while hiking, biking, or moving around the studio. Unlike a clunky camera bag, Capture keeps your camera instantly accessible with the click of a button. Includes 2 components: a metal clip that clamps to any backpack strap, belt, or bag, and an Arca tripod-compatible plate that screws into the bottom of your camera. Your camera locks into the clip, where it is held securely. Press the lockable quick-release button to remove. Holds well over 200 lbs., making it strong enough for the heaviest of pro camera/lens combinations. Their Version 3 updates have evolved Capture be way smaller and way lighter, with all-metal build. So here's to the perfect gift for the Dad that wants to capture every moment (with Capture of course)!

For The Always Looking For the Next Great Spotify Playlist Dad - Decibulz's Wireless Headphones ($64.99)

Decibulz's Bluetooth Wireless earphones were created so you can take your music with you no matter what you're doing! Whether it's running, working out, or relaxing at Urth Caffe, Decibullz allows you to listen to what you love while doing what you love. After sampling them for a few days, we couldn't believe it we ever listened to music with corded headphones.... Decibulz's earphones can be "thermofitted" to the unique shape of your ea. Similar to moulding a mouth guard you put the earplugs in hot water for 5 minutes, take them out, wait 30 seconds, and then mold the warm and pliable plastic to the exact shape of your ear. The result? Extreme noise isolating earphones that fit comfortably and won't ever fall out, whether you're running or doing backflips. These Bluetooth Wireless earphones are sweat and water resistant. And if you mess up the molding process, just put the earbuds back in hot water and start over. So help Dad cut those cords in style with Decibulz.

For the Swirling Whirling Wine Dad - Castello del Poggio Moscato ($13.00 per 750mL Bottle)

Hello, to the Sweet Life! Americans obsession with Italian wines are not ending anytime soon, so let Dad embrace it with style. A product of "spensieratezza," the Italian word expressing lighthearted carefreeness, this below fifteen dollar bottle of wine is mildly (and we mean mildly) sweet with hints of honey, musk, and white peaches on the nose. With colors of deep cornfields and golden sunset reflections, its taste is light on the palate with low minerality recalling hints of white tuberoses and honey. This is the perfect wine to sip after a surf sesh! Pairs perfectly with savory BBQ, spicy dishes, salads, guilt free desserts, and Santa Monica sunsets! Saluti!
