Last Minute Valentines Day Gift Ideas, Suggestions, Cards and of course a giveaway

Feb 12, 2011 | Articles

Congrats its less then 48 hours till valentine’s day and what do you have to to show for it? Maybe you picked up a card? hopefully right? cause if your card stores are anything like mine there is nothing left starting tomorrow.  So for you last minute people we’ve got printable cards from Pocoyo [Elly, Pato, Loula, and Pocoyo]. There you go great for kids and ok for your significant others.

Now need those last minute treats? Starters Candy – my wife certainly has a sweet tooth for dark chocolate and I’m sure many others out there do too… she’s not a fancy $40 box of chocolate type of girl, which is good cause I’m sooooo not a spending $40 on chocolate type of guy.  She loves a good old fashion russell stover, willy wonka, hershey’s type of girl (WIN!). For me I’m totally a red licorice dude, and if you’re taking notes I love australian red licorice and dried strawberries.

How about physical gifts that’ll last? Well there is always photos and photo albums with tons of 1 hour labs its a fairly easy task.  Next idea you can pick up a nail or hair gift card, geez have you looked at the prices of those things?! so picking up the tab is a super gift.

For those techies out there you can always walk into any Verizon store and pickup a new bluetooth headset… I’ve always been a big fan of Jabra so the Jabra WAVE in red headset features the most comfortable and stable wearing-style.  Featuring innovative new wind-noise reduction technology and Voice Guidance, the Jabra WAVE is available in three designs exclusively at Verizon Wireless. The WAVE offers even greater comfort than behind-the-ear legacy products, but with a thinner, sleeker design.  The WAVE is available in black and red – and has a corded version in black. $59.99

Which leads us to the giveaway… Yes, its going to end after valentine’s day so you better not count this as the gift.

How to win it… Contest ends 11:59pm EST. February 22nd, 2011.

Celebrate National BUBBLE BATH Day with Pocoyo + Friends! Giveaway

Celebrate National BUBBLE BATH Day with Pocoyo + Friends! Giveaway

Jan 8, 2011 | Articles

Yup you heard right today’s national bubble bath day – thankfully your wife isnt going to kick you out of the house for forgetting… but the kicks might be extra cranky without that quality bath time. I’ve already written about how I do most the bathing in my house, well until my wife thinks my son smells like a gym locker room bag – which translates to you’re doing a bad job now step it up with the scrubbing. One thing I’ve learned is that toys in the tub and playtime is an important part to bathing a toddler, cause its about time in the tub the longer they stay wet the more likely it is that I can clean him.

Pocoyo this new TV show that started up in the states this year is really cute.  You may have seen scenes spliced into Nick Jr. Programing. As you can see the toys are cute and the characters on the show are funny. Ok havent seen it yet? Check out the DVD (it’s part of today’s prize pack as well).

Meet Pocoyo [Amazon] is a cute little intro dvd to the characters and the show and is priced under $8 on amazing. Even the cute bath toys that are sold at Toys R Us all 3 are under $10 [Amazon]. They also have this massive online game which does have some premium services offered for a pay for account which is at Pocoyo¹s online virtual world, www.pocoyoworld.com

We’re giving away a great prize pack of 1 bath toy, the DVD and 14 days premium membership to Pocoyo’s World.
