Phoenician ladies are counting down the days to celebrate Valentine’s. Not only do we hope for some extravagances from our significant other, but we also like to pamper our special guy on February 14th. When our men are also dads to our mini-me's, we have double the need for gift-giving.
This year, we have a list of must-haves for the ones that make our hearts flutter:
Have fun with Bug-A-Salt - Whether a gun enthusiast or not, this modern-day fly swatter is a must! Especially in Arizona, where flies will soon be taking over the Valley, a new nontoxic way to eliminate pesky bugs is welcomed at homes everywhere. It’s simple to use: A miniaturized shotgun effect is generated through this ingenious design. Ordinary table salt is utilized as a lethal projectile with accuracy range of within 3 feet. Bugs will remain whole for easy clean up. https://bugasalt.com
Make them pretty with BeautyCounter – Some men are open their love of beauty products and some men prefer to quietly samples our goods, but there is no denying men in Phoenix appreciate the ability to have great beauty products at their disposal. This year, BeautyCounter has been all the rage – and they have two products that your man is sure to love.
