DOWNTOWN’S Valentine’s Day Gift Guide 2022

 
Let us endeavor to make 2022 the year of Love, for there has been no greater time when love is so very needed.
 
“Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments; Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O, no! it is an ever-fixed mark,
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.
Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle’s compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom. 
If this be error and upon me prov’d,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.”
-William Shakespeare, Sonnet 116

Father’s Day Gift Guide 2018

https://www.pexels.com/photo/sea-sunny-beach-sand-38302/

It’s almost time for that special day of the year in which we honor the father figures in our lives. Whether you celebrate Father’s Day with your dad, uncle, grandpa, or any person who is a father figure in your life, it’s always nice to get that person a little something. Whether big or small, a gift is a nice way to show appreciation for the all that this person contributes to your life. If you’re stuck on what to buy, or if you just need a little bit of inspiration, we’ve curated a gift guide with ideas for every type of dad. 

FATHER’S DAY GIFT GUIDE

1. FOR THE STYLISH DAD – GUCCI PURSUIT 72 SLIDE SANDAL 

For the stylish dad, you truly can’t go wrong with anything Gucci. Not only are these shoes stylish, but comfortable. Plus, a good pair of slides is so convenient to just slip on and get out the door when dad-duties need to be fulfilled. 

 2. FOR THE WORKING DAD – MONOGRAMMED BRIEFCASE (THOUGHTFULLY GIVEN ON ETSY.COM)

Here at Downtown Magazine, we love to support small businesses. Etsy is a great place to find the most unique and personalized gifts. This briefcase is so stylish, yet classic, and with your dad’s initials monogrammed onto this briefcase, it will be a truly special and timeless gift.

3. FOR THE FUNNY DAD – TRAVIS MATHEW DAD BOD T-SHIRT

For all of the goofy dads out there, this t-shirt is perfect. Why go to the gym and cut out carbs for a ‘Dad-Bod’ when you can just toss on this tee and call it a day? You’ll not only be giving your dad a dazzling blue tee for those sweltering summer days, but you’ll also give him a good ‘LOL’.

4. FOR THE OUTDOORSY DAD – MANCRATES OUTDOOR SURVIVAL CRATE

For all of the dads who love to kick it outside on the campgrounds, you couldn’t find a more perfect gift than this. ManCrates will do all of the work for you; in this gift basket, you will receive items such as a cook set, various tools, a compass (how vintage!), and even some beef jerky!

5. FOR THE STAY AT HOME DAD – HP SPROCKET PHOTO PRINTER

 

It’s so important to capture the happy moments in life, and now that everyone does so on their phones, it’s even more important that we print out our photos for safekeeping. You just never know when you’ll accidentally drop your precious iPhone into the toilet (goodbye, 3,000 pictures!), which is why it’s even more important to develop your photos! This HP gadget makes it super easy to do so, straight from your phone, in high quality. This gadget is such a great idea for the stay at home dad who loves to capture life’s best moments with his kids.

 

6. FOR THE WORK AT HOME DAD – KEURIG STAINLESS STEEL TRAVEL MUG 

 

Nothing is more annoying than having to reheat your coffee all morning (I know, first world problems). This Keurig mug will keep your coffee hot all morning. If your dad works from home, this mug will keep his morning cup of joe at just the right temperature, so he won’t have to keep leaving his work to microwave his drink!

7. FOR THE DAD ON THE GO – DR. SCHOLL’S RHYTHMS MEMORY FOAM SNEAKER

For the dad who juggles work, school pick-ups, and lots of time on his feet, these shoes are the perfect, fashionable choice. Not only are these memory foam sneakers going to look snazzy with any outfit your dad dons, but his feet will feel like they are resting on clouds all day. Nobody does comfort better than Dr. Scholl’s, and your dad’s on-the-go feet will thank you.

8. FOR THE ADVENTUROUS DAD – https://www.cloud9living.com/new-york

If your dad would rather experience his gift than open it, Cloud 9 Living is a great platform to find various of amazing activities for your dad to experience. From helicopter flying to scenic cruises, to spa packages, you will find an experience that your dad will remember and cherish for life.

9. FOR THE OVERWORKED DAD http://www.havenspa.nyc/

 

Give Dad a massage gift certificate from Haven Spa. Incorporates long, gliding strokes and kneading techniques on the upper layers of the muscles. This massage relaxes muscles, improves circulation, increases the range of motion, and stimulates the skin and nervous system. It enhances balance and harmony while creating a sense of relaxed well-being. Haven’s Signature massage oils reduce excessive friction and nourish your skin. Pressure can be light to medium.

10. FOR THE DAD who loves to Sail  https://www.sail-nyc.com/tag/america-2-0/

Book Dad in for a calm, warm summer night, with Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto’s Sushi and Sake Sunset Sail. This light dinner sail features a refreshing assortment of four sake flights that are perfectly paired with two plates of sushi. Dinner is served on New York’s newest and most sophisticated schooner, America 2.0. While relaxing and enjoying the calming waves as they brush against the boat, you will observe the New York skyline, Battery Park, Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty.

15 Items to Bring With You On Vacation – To Help Your Baby Feel At Home

travel with baby
15 items when traveling with baby

 

When it comes to embarking on that trip or vacation, travel with baby making them comfortable and at home is all you want to make them feel. Babies and kids, in general, can take some considerable time to adjust to new locations. The task falls on you to bring with you accessories that will make your baby most comfortable and most important of all, make her feel like she is at home. This task can prove to be quite daunting and may even brew unwarranted stress which is all but what we want.

But not to worry I got your back on this.

Travel with Baby
15 items when traveling with baby

In this article, I will take you through the items you should most definitely bring with you as you travel with baby. This will help you get that well-deserved break from your daily routine. The vacation will remain to be much fun for you and your baby just as it should be.

 

Here is what you should carry:

 

Baby travel accessories

1. Car seat

 

travel with baby
15 items when traveling with the baby

This has to be the one most vital accessory that you cannot leave out from your packing list. A travel car seat will help strap in your baby on the car seat, bus, train or even plane that is if you have paid for the seat. It is a good security measure and can interestingly double up as an extra seat for your baby once, you arrive at your desired destination. 

 

2. Push Chair

 

A pushchair is a great addition to what you should bring as you travel with a baby. Choosing an all-terrain push-chair would be a good fit especially if you are not very sure of your destination’s terrain. This will help you get out the most of great outdoors in your destination without any upset whatsoever.

 

3. Baby carrier

travel with baby
15 items when traveling with the baby

A baby carrier is an exceptional choice especially if your vacation will involve outdoor activities such as hiking in the mountains or in the woods. Go for carriers that can cope with any weather thrown at them. Baby carriers can also come in handy when in busy terminals, airports or crowded cities.

 

4. Backpack

 Backpacks serve as a perfect carrier to keep all day stuff in. Backpacks are less bulky as compared to baby bags and several come with large compartments that suit storage of nappies and baby wipes. It can also hold toys and extra spare clothes.

 

5. Special blanket

travel with baby

The baby will be settled and be comfortable as you travel with a baby, if they can smell the home scent, so make sure to throw in that special blanket that smells of home, on your packing list. The blanket will provide good comfort, warmth, and shade

6. Stroller

A stroller will help you travel with your toddler in great style and can be your best friend as you take the vacation. Take time to invest in a good quality stroller, if you do not own one already.

 

Food and drink supplies

 

7. Bottled Milk

travel with baby
15 items when traveling with baby

Bringing breast milk or formula with you for the vacation is a great idea and you should make sure to carry plenty. Babies will not mind drinking from the bottle as you travel with baby especially in planes. You can also throw in a manual breast pump, the reason being that they do not attract a lot of attention and are easier to carry

 

8. Snacks

travel with baby
15 items when traveling with baby

As you travel bring with you plenty of snacks. Consider bringing with you easily clean up snacks such as apples, rice cakes, fruit bars. Bring with you more than you may think you need.

Clothing

 

9. Hats

 Pack some wide-brimmed hat for your baby to keep off the menacing sun from your baby’s face and neck.

 

10. Warm clothes

 

If you are traveling to a chilly destination bring warm clothes with you just to keep your baby warm and comfy. Carrying warm clothes even in relatively warm destinations is a great idea as the weather can drastically change for the worse and it is good to be prepared at all times. 

 

Bed and bath supplies

 

11. Bath toys

15 items when traveling with baby

  Bringing bath toys can be a great way to distract your baby as you bath him in a new environment and believe me, it will be considerably easier to clean your baby.

12. Bath plug

 Bath plugs are a creative way of turning a basin into a bathtub. Go for universal bath plugs 

 

Other baby accessories

13. Pacifiers

 

In case you are traveling by train or by air, pacifiers will be a great accessory to keep your baby calm and placid and can even give you the added benefit of putting the baby to sleep. 

14. Sunscreen
