“For the Man Who Has Everything . . . “

Talk about an over-used phrase!

It happens every year at this time as retailers gear up for Father’s Day.  The big question:  How do you break through to the consumer who is content to buy Dad another garish tie or the latest John Grisham hard-cover?

Mothers Day has become pretty much a no-brainer, at this point.  Flowers, chocolate, brunch—it doesn’t take much to thank Mom, because you wouldn’t dare presume to know what she needs.  But Dad is a different story.  He’s the grand prize for most gift-sellers, this time of year. 

But, what exactly do merchants need to do to convince Bud, Princess, and the Little Woman to look past the wallets and socks to those high-end, Unique gifts that so many stores and on-line catalogs count on selling during the other holiday for men?

Well, here’s a sample of this year’s best gift ideas.

The new kid on the block this Father’s Day is an on-line catalog company called, High Roller Toys.  An upscale purveyor of Unique Gifts, this is what they are pushing for their first Father’s Day.

5 Minute Fishing Machine!

Got a fisherman in your life with poor impulse control?  Well, now he can feed that impulse to hit the water and drop his line with just a few minutes of preparation.  This inflatable boat goes from the trunk of the car to a unique watercraft in only 5 minutes, thanks to its patent pending folding frame.  Given a 9.7 rating (out of 10) by the North American Fishing Club, this award-winning shallow-draft, catamaran angler will maneuver into those hard to reach spots where the fish are hiding, while providing superior stability over traditional hard hulled boats—and unlike similar  boats, it also has a full floor… which acts as a “safety net” to catch any gear you might drop and it lets you carry more fishing tackle and supplies than the others, too.

It comes with a pair of 8-foot rowing oars to get you wherever you need to go, but also features a motor mount. Attach a 3hp gas or electric outboard if you like, and it’ll rip across the water … plenty enough speed to gain headway against tides and winds.

Red Jade Tranquility Monkeys

In Chinese culture it is said that, “Gold has a value, but jade is invaluable.”

For centuries, the Chinese have revered jade for its steady pulse  of healing energy.  Jade is thought to be beneficial to the heart, in both physical and spiritual senses.  It is considered the health, wealth, and longevity stone, and is also used to summon courage, wisdom, justice, mercy, emotional balance, stamina, love, fidelity, humility, generosity, peace, and harmony. When in contact with the human body, this much admired stone has the unusual characteristic of absorbing heat from its “host,” which causes it to emit long-wave bio-spectrums that penetrate the body.  All colors of jade are said to “mellow one’s existence,” ridding the beneficiary of negative thought and energy.

Red Jade, which is a particularly passionate and active stone, is not recommended for long exposure, as would be the case with jewelry, because its intense stimulating effect can cause agitation.  But, it is frequently used to fashion powerful, mystical statues, such as the famous “Tranquility Monkeys” of southern China.  These rare statuettes have been an effective source of power and protection for generations, and, though few in number, are becoming available the U.S.

 While supplies last, High Roller Toys, the upscale purveyor of unique gifts for men & women, is offering unique, one-of-a-kind, hand-carved Tranquility Monkeys, imported from China.

Also known as “Thinker Monkeys,” these pairs of red jade beauties possess all the healing and protective powers that Chinese mystics have venerated for centuries.  Especially attractive (and powerful) when bathed in their own warming display light, the “Thinkers” will bring tranquility, serenity, and health to all who are fortunate to behold their power.

Night Vision Watch

There is nothing new about “Glow in the Dark” watches.  They were popularized decades ago, before people became aware of the serious health risks posed by their radium dials. Now, Tritium (H3), an isotope of Hydrogen, is being used as a self-powered light source to replace radioactive materials such as Radium with dazzling results.  The physics is quite interesting.

When Tritium gas undergoes beta decay, it releases electrons that will stimulate phosphor, to fluoresce.  This creates a self-sustaining source of light that can last up to 25 years.  Coat the inside of a glass vial with phosphor and fill the vial with Tritium gas, and, voila!–sustainable light that requires no batteries, recharging, solar power, or any other energy source.  Make the vials small enough, and fasten them to the face and hands of a watch, and you have an incomparable night vision watch.

Now, High Roller Toys, the upscale retailer of unique gifts for men and women, is offering this marvel of modern science in a rugged titanium-encased chronograph watch that is state of the art.

Oh, come on!  How can you possibly get gas-filled vials that small?

With Swiss precision, that’s how.

The process is fascinating.  During manufacture, a length of microscopically fine borosilicate glass tube which has had the inside surface coated with phosphor is filled with Tritium gas at high pressure.  The tube is then fused into tiny incremental sections with a CO2 laser, creating microscopic glass vials.  Borosilicate is preferred because it is a type of glass noted for its strength and resistance to breakage. The vials are then affixed to the face and hands of this handsome timepiece which has all the features you would expect from a high-quality, multipurpose, sportsman’s watch.

You really have to see this watch (in the dark) to fully appreciate it.
