The problem with Valentine’s day is that its become a horrible holiday – it is forced down peoples throats as the one day a year you should show your romantic partner that you care. Really?! why isnt this everyday – ok ok how about twice a week and on your birthdays?
No huh… we gotta do this — we gotta do this holiday — so lets get it right.
1) yes you need a card or two – and you totally need a card from the kids
2) the gift – this could be optional depending on who your wife is or what the situation is… my wife always you dont have to get me anything – and if I dont get her anything I might as well buy myself ear plugs because I’ll hear about it for the next 3 months about how I didn’t get her anything – so I guess my advice just get something…. ok maybe just something – because then you’ll get yelled at about who picked this out — so you might need to spending 3 minutes maybe 6 minutes thinking what does she use or need?
–Quick suggestions:
Spa treatments — my wife doesnt go for the massages but she loves facials.
Jewelry — my wife is super picky so I’m avoiding this one from now on… has never worked out for me.
Clothing — my wife loves fashion but my tastes have a lot that is to be desired…. so you can go and ask for help just make sure you know the right size.
TIP: check the dirty clothing for her current size.
Technology — my wife loves her iphone, ipad, camera & lens but I’m not sure that screams valentine’s day to her but yours might love a new iPad.
Candy — my wife loves chocolate and thats about it.
Liquor — my wife loves champagne picking up one of those fancy bottles is always great.
Travel — who’s wife wouldnt love a night away (with you or without you :P) maybe even if its a local city for a one night hotel or a trip to a remote island.
Gift Cards — my wife likes this as much as having a screaming toddler keeping her up all night. avoid these unless its your last choice.
3) Flowers – this is MUST as in… do not pass go – do not collect $200! Here’s a trick you’re never going to go wrong with Long Stem Roses Red or Pink Roses.

Founded by French designer Rebecca Campora, 7 A.M. ENFANT offers a wide selection of versatile, urban and stylish baby accessories combining good design, fashion and versatility. Rebecca Campora’s philosophy is to understand parents’ desires and needs and create products that are innovative, functional and full of contemporary style. Made of the finest materials and outstanding craftsmanship with extreme attention to detail, 7 A.M. ENFANT contemporary concept brings together innovation, quality, form, function and unique looks. For additional information visit www.7amenfant.com.
On these bitter cold days in NYC or anywhere for that matter this is a MUST have for babies and toddlers still rolling in a stroller. The way 7am Enfant products work are in a universal style so really its about fitting the right product to the size of the child. The favorite of my child was the Blanket 212 Evolution that opens in the middle – we used to call him the baby burrito in it. When its sub-arctic cold like this week the WarmMuffs are a total must – if you’re wearing leather gloves its amazing and if you’re bare knuckling it they help to make it manageable to push the stroller without having to stop every 2 minutes to blow onto your hands. Their newest addition is their diaper bag… I like it cause it half looks like a duffle bag – so it passes the lets only have 1 diaper bag test.
WARMMUFFS [7AM Enfant]
Designed for the perfect ergonomic hand position on a stroller, 7A.M. ENFANT Warmmuffs keeps hands warm without gloves! Parents and caregivers can comfortably hold on to the stroller while keeping hands warm, never looking for a misplaced glove.
Polochon Bag [7AM Enfant | Amazon]
Dads won’t mind sporting this diaper bag with its round shape reminiscent of a favorite duffle bag. The Polochon Bag features fleece and nylon cushioned changing mat, attached zippered pouch, double cushioned handles, two stroller strap rings and detachable shoulder strap.
Utilizing a five-point harness system, the Blanket 212 Evolution is an innovation for the outdoors, adapting universally to both car-seats and strollers, with a hood featuring a safe elasticized system, and front zippers allow it to be folded back on warmer days. A water repellent shell and ultra-soft premium insulation make it a must-have.
Thanks to 7AM Enfant we have an amazing prize pack which includes Metallic Prussian Blue Polochon bag, warmmuffs and Blanket 212 Evolution.

Everything in this life is about customization… we rarely take anything off the shelf and I love this and itssooo done and perfect. Why? Because we all want to be individuals… we teach this to our children to feel comfortable in our own skin, clothes, and in situations.
When smartphones started it was hard to find cool cases – now there is a million cases… then you noticed that those “cool” cases never really protected the phone. Enter Otterbox – this case is like the Fort Knox of cases… this is the brand that made it cool that made dropping your iphone not cost you $600 for a new iphone.
But with that security came a very limited scale of colors and designs… but now Otterbox has stepped it up with Mix-n-Match Smartphone Cases — talk about a game changer… Over to the right is what custom Otterbox I’d rock – taking the colors of DaDa Rocks with what is my favorite mobile phone the iPhone 5. If you’re wondering its Gunmetal Grey / Glow Green / Black – pretty cool right?. All the protection you know and love with the ability to purchase one case that has the design colors you want.
