Tech Gifts for Mother's Day

Now is a time of panic for the tech savvy sons of the world out there. What do you get your Mom for Mother's Day? You don't know anything about candles and can never seem to pick the right card. Well, we’ve been getting many questions lately about the best gifts for Mother's day and it's time for me to help out. Mother’s day is around the corner and we have lots of great gift ideas for Mom this year. Most people wouldn’t think to get Mom a tech gift or optic gift but Mom’s love useful gadgets just as much as Dad’s do.

Besides, it’s always a great idea to get Mom something she wasn’t expecting. Everyone does flowers and brunch. Be a little bolder this year. Your mother deserves it.

Is your Mom a bit of a nosy Nelly? Well, then she’ll love the Nikon Monarch ATB 8x42 Waterproof Binoculars. They’re a great multi-purpose set of binoculars suited for birding, astronomy, hunting and spying. Nikon’s high quality optics ensure the most optimal image quality. Is also has Nikon’s well known durability that’s built to last.

Believe it or not, we sell a lot of riflescopes to women. Many people don’t think that women like to hunt, but our research has shown that they do and they appreciate high quality hunting optics. I have a female cousin that loves to go up to Canada and hunt bear.The Leupold VX-II 3-9x33mm Rimfire EFR Matte Rifle Scope is the perfect scope for Mom’s out there who like to hunt. It’s great for many applications such as woods hunting, varmint hunting and grandkid hunting.

If Mom likes to golf, then she’ll definitely need the Nikon LR800 Rangefinder. It's compact and features great Nikon optics. It’s perfect for those nice warm days out on the golfing green.

Mom hasn’t joined the Digital Camera revolution yet? Then the Nikon CoolPix Hunting Camera System is perfect for her, even if she doesn’t hunt. The Nikon Coolpix L15 is a great point and shoot camera that features 8mp of image quality, perfect for blown up pictures of the grandkids. The package comes with a useful protective Pelican case as well as a Gorillapod tripod for when you want to set up for family photos.

Put a stop to your Mom always asking for directions or getting lost. I recommend the Garmin Nuvi 350 Car Navigation system. It’s easy to install and even easier to use so your mom doesn’t get lost again.

If your Mom is advancing in years, she may be starting to have back problems. To help her feel a little better and ease the pain, I recommend the Human touch back massager. It’s sure to help with things and will make you look like a very thoughtful son. It's cheaper than buying her a spa day.

Most kids have a huge interest in the stars and galaxies that populate the skies above us. The Celestron SkyScout Personal Planetarium Handheld GPS Sky Guide will turn Grandma into an instant expert. The Celestron Skyscout will tell her what anything in the sky is by just pointing at it. It’s also filled with tons of fact about the major objects in the sky.

I don’t know about you, but my garage door and the front bumper of my car have had a few run ins with my Mom’s car when she’s come to visit. I highly recommend the ATN Autopark 2000 Backup Safety Car Parking System. It will keep her from the embarrassment of running into anything again. Heck, get her two, one for the front and one for the back just to be safe!

Best Easter Gifts for Boys

So, what do boys want for Easter that OpticsPlanet sells? You’d be surprised. This year, science and outdoors activities are becoming increasingly popular. A lot of kids are asking for microscopes, telescopes, binoculars and digital cameras.

The best Easter gift that OpticsPlanet has for the budding geologist is the Meade 28 Piece Children’s Microscope Kit. It’s a great and inexpensive way to encourage your child’s interest in science without having to invest too much money.

As far as a telescope for the budding astronomer, your best bet is the Bushnell 3” Reflector. It’s the best entry level telescope and is available in a variety of kits to help an interested child get started with stargazing.

For the budding bird watcher, I recommend the Tasco 8x21 Specialty Binoculars. They’re inexpensive and they're a very boyish blue color. The ultimate boy gift. Perfect for bird watching and adventures with friends.

For the next Pulitzer Prize winning photographer in your brood, I recommend the Nikon Compact Cool Pix L15 8MP Digital Camera. Our special set comes with a Pelican hard case that will help your son to take good care of the camera as well as a Gorillapod Tripod that can be put almost anywhere. Best of all, he or she can put cool hunting camouflage decals on the camera that are included in the package. It's also inexpensive so you don't have to get too angry if he loses or breaks it.

Meeting the Easter Bunny

I had to drive four hours to the middle of no where to meet the Easter Bunny in his burrow. I was shocked at how nice his burrow was. I was expecting a dirt hole in the ground, but it was practically a McMansion. More Hobbiton than dirt hole.

We had a very fruitful meeting. We laid out our plans for Easter. The Easter Bunny is so happy to finally have someone helping him out with logistics and gift selection help.

So, what exactly will I be doing for the Easter Bunny?

I'll be helping parents choose the best gifts for Easter for their kids. Such as the best products to fit into an Easter Basket, the best products to educate instead of fatten and the best products to ensure you have fantastic Easter!

I'll also be helping the Easter Bunny out with logistics the same way I helped out Santa Claus last Christmas. OpticsPlanet will become a distribution point for the Easter Bunny to ensure he gets the most baskets to the most kids on Easter Sunday.

Check back soon for the Best Gifts for Easter for boys and the Best Gifts for Easter for girls.

Brief History of Valentine's Day

By this point before Valentine's Day, many men are shaking their heads, wondering: who came up with ridiculous holiday that seems to only exist to make us look bad? Believe it or not, Valentine's Day has a long and rather interesting history.

Did You Know That:

There are actually 11 St. Valentine's? But the actual Valentine's Day is based on the martyrs Valentine of Rome and Valentine of Terni.

Valentine's Day has its roots in ancient February fertility festivals that can trace their history back to the Greco-Roman era.

The first time Valentine's Day was mentioned in print with romantic associations was in 1382 in a work by the English author Geoffrey Chaucer called Parlement of Foules.

The modern commercialization of Valentine's Day can be traced to 1840's America when Esther Howland, a daughter of a prominent stationer, began to produce Valentine's Greeting Cards. This proves that Valentine's Day may actually be a conspiracy against men spearheaded by the Greeting Card Companies.

Valentine's Day is celebrated all over the world and most cultures have a similarly related holiday to do with Love and Romance. Some countries, such as Saudi Arabia have declared war on Valentine's Day. Just this year, the religious police in Saudi Arabia banned the sale of all Valentine's Day related merchandise because it's 'un-Islamic.' According to the venerable BBC, this has created a black market for Valentine's Day Related Merchandise.

How did Cupid get associated with Valentine's Day? Well, Cupid happens to be the Roman God of Love and Sex. Because of this, he has been popularly associated with Valentine's Day as a naked person who flies around shooting people with love arrows.

I've met Cupid, and let me assure you; he wears clothes.
