At
first I thought, okay, there's no way a guy is going
to wear something called a "diaper vest."
But now that I see it, I'm having second thoughts.
It looks like a totally cool and normal-looking
vest that you'd find at EMS, yet it has hidden pockets
and functionality that make this a great vest for
Dads.
Made
by DadGear (you may remember them from other reviews
we've done, they make a great backpack), this vest
sports pockets for wipes, diapers and bottles.
Buy it on the DadGear site. It sells for $82,
but you can use coupon code MWS15 for 15%

A funny stocking stuffer
My
hubby was the one who told me about this duo. And
as one reviewer on Amazon states, "It's hard
to describe how Flight of the Conchords is so funny
in the same way it's hard to describe how certain
faces Dwight, Jim, Or Pam make to the camera on The
Office are funny." So true. This duo is so hysterically
funny and I can't even really explain why. Check them
out - they have their first season on DVD now and
a CD coming out soon.
The First Season is just available on Amazon
for $19.99. Eligible for free shipping on purchases
over $25. And if you want to check them out, do a
search on iTunes and listen to one of their songs.
(Or YouTube, they're all over there as well.)
Replace
his old iPod with a shiny new toy
Of
course, there's nothing wrong with the old iPod, but
the new
iPod touch is just so much cooler. (Don't you
love how they suck you in with new technology each
year?) The new iPod is loaded with the same functionality
as the iPhone - touch screen and a wider flip screen
are some of the great features. Also - it's more than
an iPod as it's loaded with Safari (to browse the
web), YouTube (watch videos online!) and a direct
link to iTunes to download music at will. (dangerous...)
The 8GB is currently priced at $299; the 16GB at $399.
You can find it online at Amazon and elsewhere. After
buying my iPhone from AT&T only to have the price
drop and be told that Apple would only give credit
to those who bought from the Apple
store, I'm only recommending purchasing
from there. (If their products weren't so amazing,
I'd have to boycott. But considering how awesome every
piece of hardware and software they put out is, I'll
be buying from there in the future.)
Additionally , they offer free engraving on their
site.
Universal
Remote
Seriously,
what is it with men and remotes? I don't even know
what to say about this one because the appeal eludes
me. But it's shiny and cool looking, has a great
interface ("watch TV." or "Play a
DVD" are some of your options).
Your
hubby's bound to love it and it's great for the
TV room as it eliminates unneccessary remotes! I've
seen these Harmony Universal remotes recommended
on several gadget sites. They make different models,
this one is the 520. CNet rated the 550 as one of
its top picks this year.
This
daypack/backpack serves two functions: it's a diaper
bag and a baby carrier. It's made by Kelty, who is
known for their outdoor products. It's a good carrier
for hiking with baby in tow, and it's nice and manly
looking for Dad. What's also great about it is that
it's a backpack as well.
The backpack not only detaches but it's fully loaded
for baby travel -- side pouches for bottles, wipes
pocket and tons of other sections for organizational
needs. The carrier itself has a "rear view mirror"
to see how baby is doing, and a rain cover to protect
baby.
The
Sirius Stiletto 100 makes on-the-go music easy as
cake.
A neat little tool, this hardware allows you to connect
to Sirius' radio program on the road from any Wi-Fi
network. Great for traveling or long-commuting Dads.
Whitney loves the holiday season and everything that
comes with it: spiced wine, pumpkin pie, giving gifts
to loved ones, decorating the tree and shopping for
her boys.
This year, Whitney hopes Santa will bring her 8 hours
of uninterrupted sleep.
