Is there an open source license that will allow me to include both packages in my product or will I need to find the apache equivalent licensed product of the LGPL libraries? 

The Apache license is compatible with GPLv3 and LGPLv3.  So long as you honor the terms of the LGPLv3 when distributing your file (and the Apache license also, of course, but it's more permissive), you can choose any LGPL-miscible license.

Depending on what you're doing and how much of the various libraries you use, it might well be reasonable to license your project under the Apache 2.0 license, GPLv3, or other licenses like BSD/MIT/etc....
