Since 2014 the Point Two Design Group has mapped over 1,500 cities with plenty more maps in the works. Each of the company’s map art prints is carefully hand-crafted by husband and wife duo Owen de Lancie and Emily Warkentin using mapping techniques they learned while studying architecture together at university. From alleys and airports to oceans and river-ways, you will gain a new appreciation and perspective on familiar cities with intricately-detailed city map art prints that double as modern home decor and conversation starters. Thus, you can gift someone with a personalized keepsake to hang in their home or office that help remind them of some great memories.
Me, personally? I ordered prints of my home region of Long Island, New York and my adopted hometown of Long Beach, New York. Both prints hang proudly in our home. These colorful, eye-catching and accurate prints are recommended for people of all ages, backgrounds and decor preferences.
The Psudo brand was created to do better and be better for our planet, dramatically reducing waste by creating sneakers out of recycled goods. This includes the entire upper part of the shoe which is made from recycled plastic water bottles. The sneakers are made in a Milwaukee-based solar powered shoe factory with materials that are 100 percent locally-sourced, while its packaging is made from 100 percent recycled content. Further distinct about Psudo’s shoes are that the laces and stitching detail seen are actually intricate graphics printed onto the material which is one piece, instead of using typical sneaker products like laces.
Psudo sneakers are offered in both men’s and women’s styles, as priced under $100 for U.S. consumers. I personally recommend the Men’s Court shoes, which are slip-resistant, water-resistant and provide lightweight support for immediate comfort. Personal preferences aside, founder and designer Michael Rich is arguably making the most sustainable sneaker in the world.

A unique Father’s Day gift you can deliver that is simultaneously heartfelt and health-oriented is the gift of good posture. Said posture can be achieved from wearing an Alignmed Posture Shirt, a gold-standard posture corrector sold around the world and worn by thousands of pro athletes; that list of satisfied customers includes Peyton Manning beyond numberous Lakers, Dodgers and Rams. After all, living in good posture can enhance one’s life greatly.
Alignmed is an evidence-based, clinically-developed product that’s gone through nine clinical trials performed at some of the finest orthopedic teaching universities and institutes in the world. Its Posture Shirt features variable stretch neurobands that drape over the shoulders and down the spine to pull the shoulders back, all the while stimulating muscles and nerves as it increases vascularity. One published study done by the University Of Southern California’s Keck School Of Medicine in conjunction with the University Of Denver’s Center For Biomechanics revealed that wearing the Alignmed Posture Shirt while working in front of a computer increased productivity by 13 percent and reduced fatigue by up to 29 percent. Rave reviews have also come from the likes of Time, Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times and Men’s Health.

Tavour
Within the past two months, Washington State-based Tavour has started working with more breweries, and Tavour is now selling more beer across 25 states than at any other point in its six-year history. In conjuction with The Brewers Association, many beer industry leaders are pushing for change. Thus, the old three-tier system of “brewery to distributor to store” is slowly dissolving, and American beer delivery restrictions are being re-evaluated in a very big way.
Altogether Tavour is a company that tries thousands of beers from small craft breweries, ultimately bringing you the beer-related gems you can’t get at the store. It works directly with hundreds of independent breweries to curate craft beer gift boxes with one-of-a-kind selections. In turn with selections as diverse as Matchless Brewing’s Acocalypse Fatigue, the Modist Brewing Co.’s Shook Pineapple, the ColdFire brewing Company’s Italian-Style Pilsner, Lupulin Brewing’s Hooey, and StormBreaker Brewing’s House Martell. This makes Tavour ideal for a Father’s Day gift offering, or really any sort of gift-giving opportunity you may come across for a beer-drinking.
