I’ve been loving a few clothing companies lately that are really doing amazing things for kids and for dads.
Blume – good lord those clothes are tooooooo cute! Who doesnt love a baby in a tie. Matching outfits aren’t just for moms and daughters anymore. With Father’s Day quickly approaching you can stop scrambling to find dad the perfect gift. This Father’s Day your ‘little man’ can buy dad a shirt to match. Blume introduces the “Big Man” collection, the same tie tees in a big new way!
Kourtney Kardashian - Mason wears Blume!
Tori & Dean's Liam
Beckham Boys
Blume is the innovator of the “Little Man” collection- the real handmade ties on tees have been featured in lots of glossy mags like PEOPLE, US Weekly, and OK! with trendsetting celebrity tots like the Beckham Boys, Kourtney Kardashian’s son- Mason, and Tori Spelling’s son – Liam. All the buzz inspired us to enlarge the offerings – literally! Just ask Shaquille O’Neal who got the ball rolling on this new trend when he requested a week’s worth of tie tees to match all the ones his sons had – yes, they all really do own Blume Tie Tees! Little boys hope to grow up to be just like their fathers, until then they can dress like them with Blume!
Blume prides itself on creating comfortable, fun, fashionable items for the whole family. Blume collections can be found in fine stores nationwide like Barneys and online at www.blumeguy.com and www.blumebaby.com. The other cool part is they don’t limit ties to just the boys, they’ve got great little girl tie sets too.We’ve got a great giveaway at the bottom of the post from blume too – we’re giving away a Blume’s Father and Son Tie Tees Set… Just a quick note these aren’t real ties these are part of the shirts.

There is a ton of great items about to hit dadarocks over the next week but I’m really excited to talk about this… Kodak over the course of this week is running a great Facebook event where people can upload pictures of their dads or their kids dads (get it perhaps your husband father to your children). Those photos will be shown on the Kodak.com homepage and on Kodak’s Times Square Billboard in New York City. Check out this Facebook event page http://kodak.ly/shareDadand just upload a picture. This isn’t a contest, there are no prizes, but kodak will be selecting 100 to 200 photos for the kodak.com homepage and then some of those will be on the Kodak billboard in Times Square on Father’s Day – which is pretty cool.
Now on to the Pulse frame [Amazon] – its got a great picture, the ability to sync to Facebook (which is pretty pretty cool), yet the coolest part it has get its own email address… Getting photos on the device is easy as just emailing a photo from your iPhone to your Pulse frame.

With Mother’s day finally here – I hope you atleast got a card… I hope that your child have made cards (if you didnt buy them make one!)…
Here are a few last minute gift ideas for anyone…
The Starbucks package… Start with a gift card, add a mug or a travel mug, drop them into a bag add some tissue paper and a card and bingo. Going for the added special flavor add into the package a high end bag of coffee or tea.
Next up for the women who loves the gym (cause if she doesnt this would be calling them fat otherwise)…
The Gym package… Head over to her gym (she doesnt have one is a sure sign this isnt the right gift for her), add some training sessions, then get her a new gym outfit, new shoes, ect… Maybe she’s into yoga a new yoga mat is always nice and now easier and easier to find – I highly suggest Lululemon Athletica www.lululemon.com for both the outfit and the yoga mat.
Next up for the women who loves to relax and be pampered…
The day spa package… Find a good nearby spa (or one that your wife goes to) and get a giftcard for a message, facial, and whatever else they suggest. Add a $20 bill into the envelope for tips and you’re good to go.
How about the expecting Mom (or just plain expecting)…
You can pick up a book Portraits of Pregnancy: The Birth of a Mother this is great if you add it to a gift certificate for a photo shoot – there are tons of amazing photographers out there – ie. my amazing wife Suzanne Cohen Photography an expecting mother shoot is a one time thing as no two pregnancies will be the same. Plus in 30 years they’ll look great at a wedding slideshow.
Finally the coupon book…
This isn’t one you should buy in the store but you should create 12 coupons (hopefully one that makes sense for each month) with something special on them – 1 pair of new shoes, 1 new outfit, 1 shopping trip where I wont complain about how long it takes to try on the outfits, 1 night out (without the kids), 1 movie date, 1 rated x night – I’m sure you get it by now… but have fun with it and make it things she’ll really want.
Dont forget the basics work too…
Flowers, Candy, Jewelry, and Wine seem to be the staples around here.
