Tip Alert Toilet Seat Alarm

Tip Alert is a toilet seat alarm that reminds him to never leave the toilet seat up again. It's Toilet Training, Phase II. Tip Alert just peels and sticks under the toilet seat and plays three different funny messages so he will never forget again.


There is even a light that flashes every 15 seconds to tell you he has left the seat up in the dark.

The peel and stick adhesive backing attaches easily to the flat underside of the toilet seat, and the unit has a water resistant plastic casing.

Research shows that the lowly toilet seat crops up as “an issue” in two out of every three couple relationships. Seat placement is #5 on women’s top ten list of pet peeves.

Kids Say The Funniest Things

Kids Say The Funniest Things

1. Jack was watching his Mom breast feeding his new baby sister. After a while he asked: "Mom why have you got two? Is one for hot and one for cold milk?"

2. Melanie asked her Granny how old she was. Granny replied she was so old she didn't remember any more. Said Melanie, "If you don't remember you must look in the back of your panties. Mine say five to six."

3. Steven hugged and kissed his Mom goodnight. "I love you so much, that when you die I'm going to bury you outside my bedroom window."

4. Brittany had an earache and wanted a painkiller. She tried in vain to take the lid off the bottle. Seeing her frustration, her Mom explained it was a childproof cap and she'd have to open it for her. Eyes wide with wonder, the little girl asked: "How does it know it's me?"

5. Susan was drinking juice when she got the hiccups. "Please don't give me this juice again," she said, "It makes my teeth cough."

6. Danni stepped onto the bathroom scale and asked: "How much do I cost?"

7. Tammy was with her mother when they met an elderly, rather wrinkled woman her Mom knew. Tammy looked at her for a while and then asked, "Why doesn't your skin fit your face?"

8. Mark was engrossed in a young couple who were hugging and kissing in a restaurant. Without taking his eyes off them, he asked his dad: "Why is he whispering in her mouth?"

9. Clinton was in his bedroom looking worried. When his Mom asked what was troubling him, he replied, "I don't know what'll happen with this bed when I get married. How will my wife fit in?"

10. James was listening to a Bible story. His dad read: "The man named Lot was warned to take his wife and flee out of the city but his wife looked back and was turned to salt." Concerned, James asked: "What happened to the flea?"

Man stole motorbike - part by part

A Chinese man was arrested for stealing a motorcycle - part by part over five years from the factory where he worked.

Zhang, an assembly line worker in a motorcycle factory in Chongqing, had always wanted his own motorbike but could never afford one.

He started stealing parts from the factory warehouse and assembling them at home in 2003, reports the Chongqing Times.

"I don't have that much money, so I came up with the idea of taking the parts home and assembling them on my own," said Zhang.

After five years, he had finally built himself a brand new SUV motorcycle and proudly started driving it on the road.

But, almost immediately, he was pulled up by police who discovered that he had no driving licence or paperwork for the bike.

Zhang admitted theft and was fined the equivalent of £440, put on probation for a year, and ordered to return the motorcycle to the factory.

Geo F Trumper Shaving School






Excerpt from their website

"Shaving knowledge and technique is not instinctive, all men need to learn the art and unfortunately many learn it badly. Common problems such as razor burn, bloodspots, ingrown hairs and redness are more often than not caused by bad shaving technique.

A few years ago, in response to requests from many customers, we set up a shaving school; a one-to-one session with a barber where the customer learns the best technique to use for their skin-type and how to perfect their shave. You can make an appointment by calling one of the shops".

Pressalit Auto Close Toilet Seat


Ladies who has got up in the middle of the night and sat down on the actual toilet because their man has forgotten to put the toilet seat down ewww gross.....well those days are over because there is now the toilet seat that is self closing. (I don't know why it took so long for someone to invent this but they have). They even have a seat for the soccer fan.


"The never ending debate between the sexes has been settled by a toilet seat. Should the toilet seats be left up or down? – this debate has been going on forever. But AutoClose® makes any further discussion unnecessary. Now you don’t have to put the seat down, it closes by itself – completely automatically.

Men no longer have to remember to put the seat down and women can enjoy a bathroom where the seat is already down – AutoClose® takes everybody into consideration and helps bring the harmony back into the bathroom."

Baby Jumping.....strange but true

"Anyone who has a newborn addition to their family can bring their baby along to this festival known as the El Colacho which has taken place on an annual basis since way back in the 1620's. The festival itself is part of the celebrations held all over Spain for the Catholic festival of Corpus Christi and whilst at this particular time many other cities and towns have spectacular processions and a variety of other popular means of revelling and enjoying themselves, there is only one Baby Jumping Festival.

The babes are laid on the ground in swaddling clothes and grown men, yes adult males, dressed as devils jump over the infants and this is supposed to cleanse them of all evil doings. The question of who is protecting the babies from the example being set by the adults begs to be asked but who are we to doubt this traditional combination of religion and Spanish folklore which proves to be great fun, if not a little scary, to watch."

Boys Smarts-Parenting is worth it!

I have a friend that has been raving on about Barry Macdonald who is Best-selling Author of Boy Smarts – Mentoring Boys for Success at School and Boy Smarts Action Study Guide. She has two boys who are really "boys, boys" and she has been following his words of wisdom and has found it very useful. So I thought I would check his website out and share 12 parenting tips he recommends for growing up boys.

Leading boys to become courageous, caring, ethical and healthy

12 t i p s …

1. Understand how the boy-code can restrict your
boy’s emotional development: Don’t be a girl! Don’t
show your feelings! Act tough and dominate!

2. Learn about the unique communication needs of
your boy.

3. Assist boys to develop an emotional vocabulary.
Teach him that courage and empathy are the sources
of real strength.

4. Create an environment where emotions are
accepted. Use an “emotional barometer” when
words are hard to find.


5. Boys often need indirect and action-talk with lots
of quiet time to process their feelings and thoughts.
Respect a boys desire to not want to discuss
emotions.

6. Discuss the gender straitjacket, teasing, bullying,
and other daily stresses.

7. As your boy gets older, seek to understand his
behaviour in a peer context. To expect a boy to be
able to run counter to the prevailing peer culture is to
stake out the moon for a chance glimpse of a jumping
cow.

Make time to get to know and appreciate his choice
in friends. Also, maintain a strong rapport and caring
connection with your boy. It will help you weather
any storm.

8. Build on your boy’s natural desire for adventure
and problem-solving.

Tweenriffic Male Stars

Grooming Hollywood Preteens To Appeal to Young Boys


With the tween market pumping about $50 billion into the U.S. economy annually, entertainment execs are constantly scouting out new actors and entertainers that have the potential to become national and international superstars.

Disney has found one recently that is all but guaranteed to be a huge star, as they’re grooming Kelly Blatz to be a big tween celebrity. One thing unique about Blatz is that Disney looks to target him at the tween male market, which has been largely underserved. To that end, they’ve placed him in a new series named “Aaron Stone.”

Tween females will definitely gravitate toward the young actor, so he could become a huge star if he can draw in both demographics.

New Research Shows Boys Learn More From Men....

I must admit that I love to research so I have decided to change the format of our blog and bring you our readers some interesting articles about......yes you guessed it boys and men. I would love for this to be interactive so please feel free to comment and suggest any interesting articles that you also have come across.

I have found a great article by the Hoover Institute at Stanford University that has done some research (published in 2006)that has shown that boys learn more from male teachers.


STANFORD--A teacher’s gender has large effects on student test performance, and students’ engagement with academic material, reports a new study published in the fall issue of Education Next.

“Learning from a teacher of the opposite gender has a detrimental effect on students’ academic progress. My best estimate is that it lowers test scores for both boys and girls by approximately 4 percent of a standard deviation and has even larger effects on various measures of student engagement,” said the study’s author, Thomas S. Dee, an economist at Swarthmore College

For example, in science, social studies, and English, Dee found that the overall effect of having a female teacher instead of a male raises the achievement of girls by 4 percent of a standard deviation and lowers the achievement of boys by roughly the same amount.

The adverse gender effects have an impact on both boys and girls but fall more heavily on boys in middle school simply because most middle-school teachers are female. According to a U.S. Department of Education survey, more than 90 percent of middle-school reading teachers are female, as are more than 70 percent of the math teachers and nearly 70 percent of the science teachers.

If half of the English teachers insixth, seventh, andeighth grades were male and their effects on learning were additive, said Dee, the gender achievement gap in reading between boys and girls would fall by approximately a third by the end of middle school.

For his research, Dee used the National Education Longitudinal Survey (NELS), which contains data on a nationally representative sample of nearly 25,000eighth graders from 1988. In addition to examining the effect of teacher gender on students’ test score performance, Dee examined teacher perceptions of a student’s performance and student perceptions of the subject taught by a particular teacher. Dee utilized questionnaires that the NELS administered to teachers from two academic subjects for each sample student, which solicited a variety of information about teachers’ background, including gender, and included several questions about how teachers viewed the behavior and performance of the specific students in the study.

When a class is headed by a woman teacher, Dee found that boys are more likely to be seen as disruptive, whereas girls are less likely to be seen as either disruptive or inattentive. When taught by a man, girls were more likely to report that they did not look forward to a subject, that it was not useful for their future, or that they were afraid to ask questions. Notably, he found this dynamic is strongest in science, where student reports indicate that women science teachers are far more effective in promoting girls’ engagement with the subject.

“Simply put, girls have better educational outcomes when taught by women and boys are better off when taught by men,” said Dee.

Shunshades Hat Clip Sunglasses



These Sunshades are a great new product we have just got in at Boys To Men Gifts. They have a unique design that clips the glasses to the brim of your baseball hat.

This is great for a guy like me who wears eyeglasses as I don't have to fiddle around changing glasses over to prescription sunglasses, I just flip them down when I need them and when not required they just flip up. The bonus for me is they are polarized which is perfect for fishing which is my sport of choice.

One of the annoying things about conventional sunglasses is the arms always break and more often than not the screws come lose and eventually fall out. Thankfully with the Sunshades, this will never happen.

This C90 cassette tape is made of weighted non slip rubber, but much larger and heavier than a cassette making it not only cool, but practical too. It is a nice reminder of years gone by and a practical gift for guys of all ages.

A Bad Smell In The Office


I am in the dog house with Beryl today. The Liquid Ass order arrived and I made the mistake of opening it in the office. Just opening the cardboard outer box was enough to leave a smell like a cat litter box that has been left for two weeks.

I had to put the contents into zip lock bags immediately, but the smell is still here. Imagine what this stuff must smell like when you actually open the bottle! Like it says on the website "Liquid ASS is an overwhelming, stinky, funny prank product, and is probably the worst smell you could ever subject your nostrils to". I believe that claim.

A great prank gift for sure, but please don't prank us with it.

Delinquents With Combs


You must have seen them, gangs of youths hanging out on street corners with well groomed hair, helping old ladies across the road even if they didn't want to cross.
Could this be the Delinquents With Combs? This new product has just arrived at the warehouse of boystomengifts.com, and we think it's great. Some of you may remember it being used in the cult movie Grease.

It looks just like a switchblade knife, but instead of a blade, out comes a comb. There is also a safety catch so it doesn't misfire in your pocket.

At only $5.99, tidy hair has never been so fun and affordable.
