Give Dad a Swig for Father’s Day

Check out my Greensender water bottle giveaway!

Every year my sister and I struggle over what to get my Dad for Father’s Day.  We always go through the same dance when that day draws near.  You know the familiar ” should we get him clothes?”  My sister then replies, ” he doesn’t need any clothes.”  We go through this question and answer period for a few minutes and always draw the same conclusion. He has everything.  So, what do you get a Dad that has everything or something that is at least useful other than a tie or shirt?

How about a Greensender personalized water bottle with a logo of his favorite past-time such as fishing or golf?    Now, there is a gift that is  good for your health as well as the planet.  Don’t you remember health class where the teacher would drum it into our heads  that you should drink at least eight glasses of water a day?  But why is having your own water bottle good for the planet?  According to the Clean Air Council, Americans throw away 2.5 million water bottles hourly. Shocking, isn’t it?

So how do you order? Head on over to the bottle shop, where you can choose the color of your bottle, size, and whether you want a name on the bottle as well as the font type. Maybe you want the golf  image like the bottle shown above?  There are 20 different images to choose from. Don’t see one you like and have one that you would like to use, just contact the company.

What I love about Greensender is the ease in ordering your own personalized bottle.  Just a few clicks and your personalized bottle is done.  The cost the bottles are as follows: $18  for 17 ounce bottle, $22 for the 20 ounce bottle and $25 for the 34 ounce bottle.  If you want to personalize it, there is an additional $3 charge.  Want artwork?  Add another $3.  Since BYOB in the form of your own water bottle is so vogue these days, it pays to have it personalized so no one else can claim your bottle.

Concerned about the bottle? Each bottle is a durable aluminum Sigg bottle.  According to the Company, Sigg bottles are the number one brand of reusable water bottles in the world.   For more information about these bottle, see here.

Greensender is not just about the water bottles.  Check out their other products: Mini G Deluxe Baby Gift Package (starting off on the right green foot…), Campus green college care package, and Company and Event gift packages.

With all the water bottles out there, why Greensender? I have known Michael Aaron, the  CEO of the Company, for over a year  and really like his philosophy.  Plus, he always has a smile on his face every time I see him!  (Because he loves what he does. )

To kick off Father’s Day gift searching, Greensender is giving away a 20 ounce bottle with the name of your choice, color of bottle, and one of the 20 artwork designs listed on the “bottle shop” page to one lucky Green Talk reader for a dad in their lives. (This can include any male in your life who is a dad such as an uncle, husband, brother, friend, father including yourself if you are a dad.)     All you have to do is the following:

• You must be over 18 and live in the US.

• Leave me a comment here telling me what you love about this dad in your life.

• To double your chances consider joining my Feedburner email list or subscribe to my RSS feed. Both subscriptions are listed on the upper right hand column. Be sure to come back and leave a separate additional comment to tell me which one you joined. If you are already a member, just say so.

• To triple  your chances of winning, twitter about this contest and come back and leave a separate additional comment of the url (weblink) of your twitter comment.

• You must enter by Thursday,  June 11, 2009  6 PM EST  to win. A winner will be chosen at random on Friday, June 12, 2009.   Good Luck everyone.

• Note:  Due to the time constraints of the contest, you may not be able to give the bottle to your “dad” in your life on Father’s Day.

Love the Greensender water bottle concept but don’t want to bank on winning the Contest?  Or need it in time for Father’s Day? (Order by:  Monday the 8th for West Coast orders and Wednesday the 10th for East Coast orders to guarantee delivery prior to Father’s Day.)  Maybe you are thinking about graduation or teachers’ gifts?  Whatever the reason, head over to the website and order which bottle you like.  While you are there, just enter “GreenTalk” in the Special Instructions box and the Company will include a Greensender organic cotton t-shirt with your order.  Be sure to include your size and gender to receive the appropriate size t-shirt.

So, if you are like me who struggles with Father’s Day, birthday or graduation presents, a Greensender bottle is the perfect gift!
