LAST MINUTE FATHER'S DAY GIFTS: Kenneth Cole Mankind Hero Kit and Anthony’s Fresh Five Kit

Still need a Father's Day Gift?  Fragrance and skin care products are always great gifts....

I have written before that, when I was a kid, I and my sisters (via my Mom) gave my poor Dad the same bad, cheap cologne every Father's Day.  Dads today expect a little more (and rightfully so) than what my Dad received when I was a kid. So, here are two last minute fragrance and skin care gifts that I was sent complimentary for review that you will not be ashamed to give the men in your life for Father's Day.


Kenneth Cole Mankind Hero Father’s Day Kit

Give the special man in your life Kenneth Cole’s latest fragrance kit – MANKIND Hero. Encompassing the power of fresh mountain air accord and rich woods, this luxe kit is the perfect gift for your father figure or hero. The kit includes the fragrance, after shave balm and hand and body wash. The fougere oriental fragrance contains:

· Top: Fresh Mountain Air Accord, Italian Lemon, Coriander Seeds

· Mid: Plum Wood, Lavender, Clary Sage, Vanilla Infusion

· Dry: Coumarin, Amber Woods, White Moss, Musks

Price: $80 (3.4 oz.); Available at Macy’s and Macys.com


Anthony Father’s Day Fresh Five Kit

As of last year, your Dad officially ran out of space to store another tie/tool set/coffee mug. Gift him the gift of great skin and spruce up his daily routine with Anthony’s Fresh Five Kit. Including All Purpose Facial Moisturizer (1 oz), Glycolic Facial Cleanser (1 oz), Shave Cream (1 oz), Invigorating Rush Hair + Body Wash (3.4 oz) and Facial Scrub (2 oz), this kit boasts every grooming product that could possibly be on dad’s wish list.

Enter the Dr Pepper #SummerFUNd GIVEAWAY at Walmart to WIn Prizes from $5 to $5,000 - #ad


Get great taste and a chance to WIN prizes in the Dr Pepper Summer FUNd Giveaway...

My son is a total Dr Pepper lover. Anytime we eat out, no matter where we go, he wants a Cherry Dr Pepper to drink with his meal.  Even last weekend, when we attended a STEM event in Downtown Detroit, he was smiling ear-to-ear when he found out the venue offered Cherry Dr Pepper among their soft drink selections.

So I was very happy when I found out about the Dr Pepper Summer FUNd Giveaway where buying Dr Pepper products at Walmart earns me chances to win a $50, $500, or $5,000 Walmart e-Gift Card plus other prizes including Movie Cash, Gas Cash, Dining Cash, Amusement Park Cash, Zoo Cash, and Vacation Cash.


Your Walmart Dr Pepper Receipt can earn you more chances to WIN!

While I was food shopping at the Walmart store in Dearborn, MI this week, I decided to pick up my son a 12 pack of Cherry Dr. Pepper.  I made sure to hold on to my receipt because I can upload a copy of my Walmart receipt for my Dr Pepper purchase to earn additional game prizes.

Eligible Dr Pepper purchases include -

• Dr Pepper®
• Diet Dr Pepper®
• Dr Pepper® Cherry


After I returned home from shopping at Walmart, I went online at  http://drpepper.com/walmart to sign up and play for a chance to win an instant a $5 Walmart eGift Card.



I entered my contact information and then a screen was displayed for me to do a scratch off to win an instant $5 Walmart eGift Card.

Unfortunately I did not win, but I did receive an email saying that I am registered for the giveaway and I will receive an email letting me know if I won any prizes.


Next, I went back to http://drpepper.com/walmart to upload my Walmart receipt
