I’ve had a db clay wallet for almost a year now and I love it. It’s virtually indestructible and looks super cool. The wallet is also made of db clay’s eco-friendly custom synthetic textile called Tope. It is similar to a vinyl canvas, biodegradable, and produced using zero toxic materials.

Casio’s newest timepiece: The Wave Ceptor WV430
Posted by Amy on June 11, 2008

*Update: Congratulations to Theresa who said “I can tell time and know that a quarter to 5 is 15 minutes to 5 and not 25 to 5. I can read a watch face with hands.” She’s the winner of our Casio Wave Ceptor giveaway. Thanks to all who have entered and make sure to bookmark ParentSphere.net for more giveaway opportunities.
I like to see a man wearing a nice watch. Ok, let me rephrase that. I like to see my husband wearing a nice watch. The brand new Casio Wave Ceptor WVA430J is pretty sleek-looking and sophisticated, in my opinion. I’ve even went so far as to include it in my “”Cool Dude’s Gift Guide”.
* The Wave Ceptor WV430J-1AJF also features a perpetual calendar, eliminating the need to adjust your watch for calendar month to month inconsistencies and Leap Year.
* Additional features include 3 daily alarms, LED light with afterglow, stopwatch, and 100M water resistance among others.
* Suggested retail: $99.95
We’re giving one away! Enter to win this snazzy timepiece - right here, right now. Giveaway ends Sunday, June 15th. A winner will be chosen randomly and notified via email.

The Cool Dude’s Gift Guide (by the cool dude’s wifey)
Posted by Amy on June 11, 2008
The Cool Dude’s Gift Guide is my answer to Eric’s “I want, I want” list.

The Courier Retro Stripe Diaper Bag from DadGear (MSRP $62.99)
Come on, don’t expect him to carry around your cute Lava Tote from DaisyGear (although, I wouldn’t mind having one of those!)

The Childhood Chores wallet from DB Clay (MSRP $48)
When he pulls it out of his pocket, he’ll instantly be reminded of his little rug rats.
Don’t knock it till you try it. My husband has one with manequin heads all over it and the guys think it’s the coolest.

The Nixon Canton Belt (MSRP $49.99)
If you’re going to get him a belt, the least you can do is make sure it’s a cool brand.

The Santa Cruz Mens Crocs (MSRP $49.99)
Yes. I said it. Crocs.
My husband has been pointing these out to me for weeks now. Is there still time?

The Timbuk2 Blogger Bag (MSRP $100)
Is he a blogger? Is he always on the go?
Nuff said.

Nintendo Wii (MSRP: $249.99)
Wii have one. (Like that?) It’s amazing. Maybe now he’ll get me THIS and the kid THIS. She likes Cars, what can I say?
Oh, right. This is about HIM not us. Moving right along…

Mr. Beer Premium Edition home brewing kit (MSRP: $39.99 - Target)
Even if he isn’t a beer connoisseur, this kit will make him cool amongst his friends.
THIS might help too. Trust me.

Microsoft Zune (MSRP $249.99)
No, not an iPod. Very similar, of course but manufactured by a different company. But you already knew that because you are COOL.
You could give him one of THESE along with it.

Cameron’s Grillslinger BBQ Tool Belt (MSRP $65)
Maybe he’s not into working on cars but really into seasoning that steak?
At any rate, your cooking man will be good to go with his BBQ tool belt.

Apple’s iPhone 3G (MSRP $199)
It will be here July 11th. He’ll have to wait.
SO worth the wait.
…and YES, you read correctly. The new iPhone is only one hundred ninety-nine dollars.

If he’s impatient, he could go for the Moto Q (MSRP $449.99)
It’s a Windows Mobile Smartphone with GPS.

Modern Dad’s Handbook (MSRP $29.99)
Maybe he likes to read. He might like this book by John Badalament.
He could really learn some sweet parenting skills from this book.

The Tom Tom ONE 130 GPS (MSRP $199.99)
For the directionally challenged dad? How about the dad who DOESN’T like to ask for directions?
…and last but not least…

Casio’s Waveceptor WVA-430
Pretty sweet new timepiece from Casio.
So, there you have it. Ladies, I hope this helps you on your Dad’s day shopping endeavor. Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.
What will you surprise your cool dude with this Father’s Day?
