Baby Sherpa Short Haul Diaper Backpack (BabySherpa) A couple of years ago we reviewed the regular Baby Sherpa (see review below) we loved it so much that when Baby Sherpa came out with the Short Haul Diaper Backpack we asked if we could review it too.  The short haul is great for those little trips with the kids.  It still has a deep inside pocket, an insulated pocket that holds bottles, a outside pocket for water bottles, reflective tape for safety and more.  It's a great backpack that's functional, durable and comfortable.  The best part is that the new dads don't feel like they're hauling around their wife's diaper bag.  $85.00

Pampers Gift Certificates (Pampers)  Here's a great gift for a new mom, dad, or friend, it's a gift certificate for diapers!  What new parent doesn't cringe every time they go to the store to purchase diapers!  Well this will lighten their shopping bill considerably! As a parent I know that this is one gift I would use!    Pampers Gift Certificates are now available in one-month (four certificates) to a two-year supply (96 certificates), starting at $45. Unlike other gift cards, new Pampers Gift Certificates are not tied to any particular store or dollar amount and can be redeemed for Jumbo Packs of diapers or potty training pants wherever Pampers are sold in the U.S. They still make a great last-minute gift, stocking stuffer or add-on to other baby gifts. Plus, one size fits all -- Moms can use the Gift Certificates for whatever type and size of Pampers they need and gift-givers aren't left trying to guess.

Looking for a great gift for a new dad?  This product is just amazing.  Imagine being able to snap pictures of your newborn and then print them out immediately!  You could even use them for birth announcements!

This product is amazing" commented our grandmother tester.  We have used this product non-stop since it arrived for review and every tester has raved about it.  As avid digital photographers they loved the ease with which they could print out pictures.  "It's literally a snap!" said our grandfather tester.  "I'm not very savvy with new electronic gadgets, but I just had to put in my media card, select the photos and press the button to print!  The quality of the photos is also amazing!"  All testers agreed that this was a very easy to use product.  They liked the fact that all they had to do was plug it in, put in their memory card, select images and print.  They printed black & white and sepia images, as well as as wallet size pictures.  It inspired them to take out their cameras and snap away, just so that they could print out more!

The PictureMate SNAP by Epson, allows you to print at home or on the go.  At home you home you just plug it in, and on the go you can use batteries.  There is an adjustable 2.5 inch photo viewer and a great editing feature.  You can crop, remove red eye, and even brighten or darken the image -- all without a computer!  The photos print out in 4x6 format in under a minute!  If you want you can even add Disney frames!  Each print is smudge, scratch, water and fade resistant which makes it even better when your dealing with the grandkids! The initial package includes Paper and cartridge for about 20 4" x 6" photos.

Each PictureMate Print Pack contains everything you need to print the photos.  So if you want to send out 150 Christmas cards, you'd purchase the 100 pack - that's ink and paper for just $37.99!  Much less than any photo processing shop! 

All the grandparents and parents that reviewed this product agree that this is hands down one of the best gifts you could receive or get this holiday season! The kids also had a blast -- talk about instant gratification!  We just loved this product!

Baby Sherpa Diaper Backpack (BabySherpa)  When we gave this to our new father tester he was thrilled.  He had a backpack from his first child, but it had begun to fall apart.  He really didn't want to tote his wife's diaper bag when he went out so the timing was perfect!  His favorite features of the backpack were: that it was rugged, that it has a built in cooler, insulated pockets for the bottles a padded pocket to hold his digital camera and an extra big diaper pad!  Some of the other great features this backpack diaper bag includes are interior parent zip pouch for wallet and a key clasp sturdy zippers, cell phone section, reflective tape for safety, and a Bungee X cord for blankets.
