Card #3: I Love Mom More Than Dad – Not only is this Jubbling, but the kids are involved scoring you double points dad. Again, scrap paper if you want or folded printer paper will do the job and then let the kids come up with the message and add photos from old magazines. (This sample card is inspired by actual events)

Orbea bicycles are expensive. Their new Grow series for kids is also expensive but will partially counter the high price by adjusting, expanding and growing with our kids. So far, Orbea has a pedal-less Grow 0 model for 1.5 – 4 year olds, the Grow 1 bicycle for 2.5 – 5 year olds, and the Grow 2 models for 4 – 9 year olds that comes in geared (7V) and un-geared (1V) versions. With the Grow 1 & 2, you can adjust the frame length plus the seat and handlebar height.
Although their price is on the high side, $235 (Grow 0) to $340 (Grow 2-7V), all Orbea bikes come standard with a lifetime warranty which will come in handy if you only have one kid now but are planning on having 5 or more. [Treehugger.com]

We suggested it for dads last year and we’re pushing it again this year: homemade Valentines Day cards. Why bother spending $5+ on an overly sentimental Valentines Day card when you can save the money and make one yourself! Handcraft it out of scratch paper if you want – it doesn’t matter because it’s all about the message and that’s where we’d like to help you out. Be sure to check back tomorrow for the next homemade Valentines Day card in the series.
Card #1: Dinner With The One Who Knows You Best
I’m starting to think that LED lighting manufacturers know their products are going to be crazy expensive so they design them to look like little pieces of art. And the Bulled LED lighting series from German company LEDO Technologie is no different. Their 60-watt equivalent LED lights are beautiful to look at and at $150/each, they’d better be.
Check out the LEDO’s website for more information about their LED lights. [Gizmodo]

| Litter-Robot Gizmodo – “Without a doubt the worst part of owning a pet is having to clean up after it, and I’m not talking about food crumbs.” Jubbling – Without a doubt the best reason not to get a pet is if you have to shell out $340 on one of these Litter-Robots because you hate to clean up after your pets. Only upside of the Litter-Robot: it reminds us of the guy choosing to live in the egg-shaped house on the streets of Beijing. |

| Automated Laser Chase Cat Toy Gizmodo – “Instead of having to manually direct a red dot around a room with your hand, this little pod does all the work for you, randomly moving it about at four different speeds.” Jubbling – If pointing a laser pointer around the room for your cat to play with requires too much effort, you probably shouldn’t get a cat. |

| Canine Treadmill Gizmodo – “Unless you happen to have an exercise room with enough space for a treadmill of their own. This smaller version, designed specifically for canines…” Jubbling – So basically, if you haven’t purchased a full blown treadmill for your dog already, here’s a more compact $550 one that is smaller and designed specifically for your dog. |

Two weeks ago, my daughter’s pet hamster Freddy past away and I wasn’t surprised to find hamster coffins available for people that want to send their former buddy off in style. Fortunately, we had an iPhone box and that did the trick nicely.
Pets give so much to their families, especially kids, and all they ask for in return is food, water, affection and a little of our time. Anything we do beyond that is our own consuming fault.
