The cost on this. 40 bucks. Finally check out this cool hands free neck massager that he can even use while sitting at his desk. We found that for just 49 99 and don't forget to check online to for good deals, retailers like Target Macy's and lows. They're advertising the Father's Day gifts already, those sales and in addition to that, there already slashing prices that we've been reporting due to the glut of inventory they have. So there are *** lot of savings out there. We're going to put the links to all this stuff on my website, Rawson Reports dot com back to you.
