For a man, fatherhood can be one of the most blissful events in his life. That small bundle of joy that comes into his life not only brings with it great pleasures, but also adds a whole new dimension. While mothers

If you are even remotely involved in planning a wedding this year you are probably quite aware of all the online resources and registries for the bride-to-be, like the popular site The Knot. But, what you may not know, is that there is an exclusive online resource for the groom-to-be with wedding tips and advice specifically for him. The Man Registry is considered to be the leading resource for everything on the groom’s side of the wedding, specializing in a wedding gift registry.
In 2007, two brothers and their future-brother-in-law noticed that wedding gifts registered for [...]

Picture it. You’re at the gym, cell phone tucked in your waistband because your yoga pants don’t have a pocket. Your car’s GPS just wants to send you on the freeway so you need your phone’s GPS to get the right surface street directions but you’re stuck with the wheel in one hand and a phone in the other. Altogether, not so smart.
Until this cute, colorful, bendable and flexible little gadget made an appearance: the Bondi. It’s a cell phone holder, propper, safekeeper…

 
There are dozens of ways to use this cute little gadget. In fact, the Bondi comes with 50 [...]

Last year we did a Pet Gift Guide – Because We Love Them and we still do love our pets! But just because you have pets does not mean that your home has to go to the dogs. We have chosen (among other things) some great gift products that your (four legged) loving companion will love and that might also just add a great statement to your home. Plus, some fun games to play with little Fifi or Fluffy. We should really rename this gift guide the Gift Guide for Pet Owners. Enjoy!

 FOR DOGS

 
What Dogs Dream Bed – Designed not [...]

My husband never writes a list for Christmas, or hints about gifts that he would like. Every year, I encourage him to please tell me what he would like and, every year, he says that I always know the right thing to give him (except the one year I gave him a vacuum – if you know my husband it really was the perfect gift, although he did not think so). What he does not realize is that it really would be a whole lot easier if he would help – just a little. If your significant other is anything [...]

 
This is the time of year when celebrations should all be about family. Getting together and enjoying each others company.

Look out retailers. Mobility gives the “Precision Shoppers” the ability to rule this holiday season as they will be equipped with competitive deals from a host of retailers. As smartphones, tablets and iPads have become more affordable and faster, there has been shift from shopping via the PC to the mobile device. More and more consumers are walking around with a small computer in their pockets when they are out shopping. Companies like Amazon, Google, and Westfield Malls have taken notice and developed apps to help make shoppers more confident and position them to get the [...]

My daughters love hot chocolate! But what kid doesn’t, right? Now that it is getting cooler in the mornings, the girls love having their hot chocolate (I usually use Olvaltine or Carnation Instant Breakfast on school days) before school.
I just discovered the easiest way to make a hot chocolate drink that looks like it was made at a French bistro. That is the Froth & Pour Hot Chocolate Pot made exclusively for Williams-Sonoma.
Simply add milk and chocolate mix into the pot and put it in the microwave. Once heated, press the mixing button to whip [...]

Need a great hostess gift that will not only say “thank you for the invitation” but that is also something truly original (that your hostess most probably will never have seen before) AND is practical. AND is something that she will want to use immediately. AND that is fun for guests too?
We’re thinking that the Coasterica™ Coasters are perhaps the only hostess gift that can meet all those requirements and then some… Because the Coasterica all-in-one coasters not only protect furniture, they also serve as drink charms. Simply slip the silicone coasters onto the stemware and the coasters will travel [...]
