Must-Haves

Boy Toys

With the holidays right around the corner, we know you must be agonizing over what to buy "the man in your life" this season. For some reason they're always the most challenging to buy for, and that's why we've enlisted the help of the gift-giving gurus from www.thepinkpuppy.com for this special task. Whether he's your husband, father, uncle or son, we think these gift ideas are sure to make you the apple of his eye.

Noteworthy

You may not have given any thought to buying stationery for the man in your life, but we're here to recommend it. Of course there's a place for monogrammed stationery in every man's professional life, but wouldn't it be fun to introduce him to a casual, whimsical note card for everyday occasions?

We happen to adore the "aviators" and the "tv chair," as well as the fact that you can personalize them if you want.

So, order him a set of note cards and a roll of commemorative football stamps and we promise he'll take note of this incredibly thoughtful gift.

Watch Out A trendy twist on a classic gift a watch! Introduce him to the world of fashion with a celebrity favorite a Red Monkey Design. With just enough edge and a hint of rock & roll, any one of these would make the perfect addition to his wardrobe. After sporting his watch for a few weeks, you may find him looking for a skin care regimen and a salmon shirt it will bring out the "faconnable" in all of them!

Handle With Care We've found the perfect carry all that will redefine running errands for all papas! A perfect something for that "Dad to Be" or new daddy, this bag comes equipped with ten compartments, a changing pad, clips for his keys, as well as The Baby Owner's Manual and a rather hilarious onesie that teaches him the do's and don'ts of baby handling!

It's a Wrap Want to buy him something that is two gifts in one? This season Burberry is sporting a scarf that is charming, sophisticated and reversible. Yep, it's check on one side and pinstripe on the other how collegiate! With the predictions of a cold winter in our future, why not give him something (other than yourself) to keep him warm.

A-men-ity Think he's cool now? Wait until he tries aMENity's cooling aftershave lotion. Say good-bye to redness and irritation and hello to a soft, smooth kissable face. Don't just stop with one product let him try all of them (including their Original Pink Shave Cream 25% of profits benefit breast cancer research). Let's face it you want him to have this gift just as much as he'll want it for himself!

Gadget of the Week 11.07.04 - The First Years 900MHz Attachable Monitor

Gadget of the Week: The First Years 900MHz Attachable Monitor

The First Years' new attachable monitor is a huge improvement on child monitors.

Because babies don't just sleep in cribs, this monitor attaches to almost anything - such as bouncy seats, carriers, strollers and swings. While most monitors allow you to attach the parent unit to your belt, this is the first monitor we've seen with a portable child unit that can be attached as well.
