I've always loved Kikkerland Design, because guaranteed, every time you click over you'll see something you never noticed before that you kind of have to have. Or at this time of year, that you have to give to someone else. Then hope the…

We hope you're having a wonderful, peaceful, joyous Mother's Day filled with lots of love. And if you don't see this today because you're totally unplugged? We wouldn't blame you one bit. -Liz, Kristen, and everyone at Cool Mom Tech [via…

Dear Mom: You worked hard to make opportunities for me. You still do. So I'll honor you this Mother's Day with a gift that helps make opportunities for other mothers and their kids. Bonus: This personalized giving option happens entirely…

I love finding interesting gifts for camera lovers that aren't necessarily $500 lenses. The retro camera candles I recently found made me super happy, and now here's one more gift that's doing the same--just in time for Mother's Day. Flo…

This year, my husband and I decided to have a low key Valentine's Day, which is perfectly fine with me since I'm busy printing hundreds of last-minute classroom valentines for my kids. I'm probably still going to buy a little gift becaus…

QR codes can do a lot of fancy things, like providing exclusive information or great discount codes for lattes. But I happen to love them best when they're wearable in silver and gold, and carrying a secret message just for you. The QR C…

If you're like me, you have a love-hate relationship with auto-complete and autocorrect, which have given me giggles and conversely, near heart stops when I see what pops up as I type. Or um, accidentally send. Oops. But my feelings for …

Merry Christmas cool techie mamas and papas! May your families be happy and healthy, may your home be magically cleaned by fairies tonight, and may all your tech gifts come with batteries pre-installed. Enjoy your day, and we look forwar…

It's the home stretch for us Christmas revelers, and if you're anything like me, 'Twas the night before Christmas" is a holiday tradition. And if you're like me, you still have a check list of "to do's" that rivals Santa's tonight. That'…

Waking up on Christmas Eve with the stress of needing a couple more gifts for those "hard to buy" people is no fun at all. So, let me play Helpful Elf by telling you about a great last-minute, charitable gift that will fill your recipien…

Before kids, we looked forward to spending our Christmas holidays catching up on every Oscar-contender in the theater. Now though? We're more likely to stay home and watch the Christmas classics, or sharing our own childhood favorites wi…

It's December 1st and despite pulling together some of the very best printable advent calendars out there, we're out of ink. And I'm out of time if my back-up plan was to purchase something great online. Thankfully, like a Christmas mira…

If you've mustered enough energy from yesterday's all-out turkey fest to hit the stores today, we're sure you'll be snagging some incredible Black Friday tech deals. But since it can be a little overwhelming to keep track of all the disc…

I'm all for baby Halloween costumes that are quick, clever, and possibly made by someone else. (Let's face it, you'll be lucky if a baby lets you get one good picture in before melting down.) And that is why I'm all over this awesome R2-…

We're all longtime fans of Pingg , the free ecard site with their designs created by independent artists and designers. It's been a while since we checked in, and now they've got so many cool new options especially for any summer parties…

We've covered virtual cupcake baking apps and even cupcake ATM machines . But if you love cupcakes (and, really, who doesn't?), here's the killer iPad app you've been waiting for. The Food Network Cupcakes! is pretty much the best thing …

Pat the Bunny is a baby book staple in most households, including mine, where I got at least three copies at my baby shower. After all, it's one of the very first interactive books. So not surprisingly he's finally gone digital with a fu…

My fellow geeks, we are a truly persnickety bunch, especially when it comes to social media. It takes a lot to earn our Likes, even more to earn our Shares, and a truly hilarious and Tina Fey-esque miracle to merit a DM. These cards? Tot…

Valentine's Day cards for your beloved geek can be hard to come by, especially if you don't want a 24-pack of tear-off Lego/Star Wars figures saying, "Valentine, you're the Obi-Wan for me!" This Etsy shop may have one of the most chic co…
