Father's Day

Farther’s Day Gift Guide

Posted on by ourvirtualholiday

Farther’s Day is simply celebrating Father’s Day at a Distance! We all know that the gift is what really matters, though 😉😉. This year, make it extra special with something different that he’ll really want and use! 

Health & Fitness:

  • Aaptiv is an audio-based app for his workouts so he doesn’t have to commit to watching. Put in ear buds or connect a speaker and a personal trainer walks Dad through workouts based on goals he sets for  and 30 new workouts are added every week so the content is always fresh. The app’s standard offer is a 7 day free trial, but we have a special 30 day free trial offer just for Father’s DAy! Click here to sign your dad up and give him a gym he can carry in his pocket!

 

Movies & TV:

Game of Thrones Tankard

  • Game of Thrones The Seven Kingdoms Map Tankard: Everyone all over Westeros is fighting to claim the Iron Throne. But, really, that thing is crazy uncomfortable. When Dad unites the Seven Kingdoms under his name, we recommend this Seven Kingdoms Map Tankard, instead. Rule over everything he sees and drink from an amazing 20oz mug all at once! Resin tankard has removable stainless steel liner that is washable. Officially licensed. 

 

Karate Kid Cobra Kai Bathrobe

  • Karate Kid Cobra Kai Bathrobe:Dad has a different take on the 1984 classic The Karate Kid. In his mind, Daniel LaRusso, also known as “The Karate Kid”, is actually the bully of the movie, and the Cobra Kai kids are just some good old SoCal boys trying to keep some loud-mouth Jersey-boy from bothering them and harassing their girlfriends. And you know what? It’s about time someone stood up and said “I’m a Cobra Kai guy.” Throw on this Karate Kid Cobra Kai Robe and Dad can let his allegiance be known. He can show everyone that he also worked hard, everyday, on his form, technique, and inner power. Just because his team didn’t get a cool montage doesn’t mean that he didn’t work his butt off, too. And by the way, what’s the best way to relax after a hard training session, or another karate tournament victory? Obviously, wearing this comfortable robe after a long, well-earned bath. We mean, honestly, LaRusso broke the rules anyway. The ref clearly says no kicks to the head, and what does he do? He kicks right to the head. Ugh. Celebrate Dad’s allegiance to the real good guys of this movie, and be stylishly comfortable at the same time.

 

The Great Outdoors:

  • Eno Doublenest Hammock:
    The DoubleNest reigns supreme. It’s Eno’s bread-and-butter. It’s Dad’s all-access pass to relaxation. Big enough for two and palatial for one, the DoubleNest still manages to stuff easily into its attached compression sack. Take it anywhere, set it up in seconds and only $69.99.

Great Movies for Father’s Day

Posted on by ourvirtualholiday

We’ve compiled the perfect list of movies to share with Dad. You’ll laugh together (if you tear up we won’t tell) but most of all you will love the shared memories. This year, if you are watching one of these classic films on two different screens at the same time, at least you’ll get to eat all of your own Raisinets.

(Tips below on how to stream with Dad when you’re at a distance)

Our Virtual Holiday’s personal Dad Movie favorites are: 

  • Father’s Day
  • Kramer vs Kramer
  • Paper Moon
  • The Kid
  • Big Fish
  • Daddy Day Care
  • Father of the Bride
  • Mr. Mom
  • Three Men and a Baby
  • Cheaper by the Dozen
  • The Other F-Word
  • Big Daddy
  • Somewhere
  • Parenthood
  • Mrs. Doubtfire
  • Finding Nemo
  • Field of Dreams
  • The Pursuit of Happiness
  • Daddy’s Home

How to stream with Dad when you’re at a distance:

Several (FREE) services allow you to stream movies from any computer to another so that you can set up your own private watch parties with your mom and share these laughs (and tears!) together! We’ve evaluated and compiled the top three based on ease of use and options:

  1. Twoseven: Twoseven was created by a couple in a long-distance relationship who wanted a better way to watch movies together. It is free to join and sync with YouTube, Netflix, HBO, Amazon, Vimeo or personal downloads. Each person watching needs to be able to sign in to the streaming service….either with your own individual accounts or a shared account. For instance, with Netflix you can have several users, if you share an account, you can both log in to the same account and stream together. Text and video functions are build in so you don’t have to be on the phone to interact with your mom while you watch. Additional streaming services like Hulu and Disney+ are available for a small fee ($3/month for a limited time). Con: The platform is only available using Firefox or Chrome web browsers and there are some Chrome extensions you may need to install. But, overall, this platform is extremely straight forward, easy to use and the team behind twoseven are extremely responsive. 
  2. Kast: Kast is a great service that essentially allows you to share your screen and can be used from your desktop or mobile device with their app. You can invite up to 100 people to join your party and you even have the option of making your party public so anyone can join. Video and chat functions are built in so that you can interact as you watch and you can share ANYTHING that you can play on your device….any streaming service, games, videos or just chit chat together. Ads are part of the free service, but you can upgrade to a paid account without ads and a higher video quality for only $4.99/month. 
  3. Zoom: Perhaps the hottest video call/meeting/chat app going right now and one of the best is the ability to screen share. You can gather all of your family members and friends (well, up to 100), pick a movie or TV show to play, share your screen and you’re all at the movies together! Because it is screen sharing, you can play video from any source: Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, a file downloaded to your computer….as long as you can play it on your computer, you can share it! You can also leave the webcams visible so that you and your party can still interact. Zoom is available via any web browser or download the app. Cons: The only downside with Zoom is that the Free plan limits “meetings” to 40 minutes. If you don’t want to upgrade to the $14.99/month plan, you’ll have to pause, start another meeting and regroup and then restart the movie.
