Canadian Gift Guide

If you’re looking something a little swanky for your Father’s Day or Graduation gift selection, check out Eton’s uber cool Soulra XL – a solar-powered iPod dock.

This handy speaker system takes just a few hours of sun power to blast tunes and charge your iPod or iPhone for hours to come. Get off the grid and throw this thing in your loved one’s room, or trek it outdoors for hours of power-saving fun.

You can also pack it up and tote it on the road. So if your graduate has some summer beach / cabin parties to get to, they can bring the entertainment, no matter how ‘rustic’ their accommodations might be. Dad can take his tunes out on his fishing or camping trip, or listen to his favourite tracks while working around the house. The versatile, lightweight Soulra comes with a comfy carrying handle to make transport easy.

For the record, Eton is a really cool Canadian company that knew how easy it was to be green, long before the rest of us caught up – they’ve been creating innovative energy-efficient / friendly / free tools for years, including mechanical and solar-powered radios, navigators, and emergency tools.

Note: I’m going on a mini-break! I’ll be back sometime next week with more great gift-giving ideas, just in time for Father’s Day 🙂
