UPDATE: NOW A GIVEAWAY – OPEN TO CANADIANS!

So my husband has now decided that there is some value in having a blogger wife: he has finally reaped the benefits of a product review! (Can you believe he didn’t get excited about legwarmers, hair clips, bread cutters or backpacks? What is wrong with him?)

3M sent us a couple of safety products to try out, and sexist as it may be to say, I handed them right over to my husband. I knew he would get more use out of the Rivet High-Impact Safety Glasses and the AO Safety Professional Earmuffs than I would. Hey, I work hard, but I have yet to injure my eyes or ears doing laundry, scrubbing tubs, or washing dishes.

We hear a lot about safety, and while it’s easy sometimes to slack and cut corners, my husband does take care when working outside. Both of these items came in very handy for his whole weed-whacking/push mower/lawn tractor twice-weekly routine. He particularly likes the glasses, because although they meet or exceed all required safety standards, they look just like regular, stylish sunglasses. This way, if anyone drops by, or he leaves them on when running to the gas station, no one can tell the difference. In fact, he’s worn them out in public a few times when unable to locate his regular shades!

The earmuffs also work very well. Again, they meet all safety standards, and have an adjustable headband and comfortable liquid/foam ear cushions. My Dad has actually requested a pair for his birthday later this month…but I’m not saying that he’s getting them! (Don’t want to spoil the surprise…he actually does check out my blog sometimes!) However, I do happen to know that they are on sale at Canadian Tire this week.

There’s never a bad time to think about safety, so take a moment to make sure that you have eye and ear protection for all of the hard workers in your household…whether male or female! (And if they can look stylish too, all the better!)

UPDATE: Since originally posting this, I learned that 3M would like to offer one This Mom Loves reader both of these terrific items, with a total retail value of more than $60! Wouldn’t that make a terrific surprise for the man in your life…or, of course, a great gift for yourself?

  1. The sunglasses are a great idea. Way to go 3M. I am shocked your husband didn't go out in public with the legwarmers. It would be…cute.

  26. Hi Kate!
    I'd love these for my dh; he's an auto mechanic and I swear he's already losing his hearing, and don't even get me started about how many things have flown into or near his eyes! "Cool" glasses at home would be great!

    You really can't have too much stylish safety equipment.
