Daddy wants a new solar charger
When considering your options for a more eco Father's Day (as seems to be the going trend these days), we're liking Sustain Stores for a whole bunch of earth-friendly and guy-friendly high-tech choices.

They've got gadgets like solar chargers and eco flashlights galore, as well as green products for the suburban warrior and his trusty sidekick, the lawn. There's also plenty of home decor, cleaning products and beauty items you'll have fun browsing, and whole section of products under $25.
