What to Wear Weather Thermometer: Ga Ga or Gag?

Especially during colder months when the heater is on full blast, it can be a difficult and exhausting battle to help your kids make appropriate clothing choices.

Especially during colder months when the heater is on full blast, it can be a difficult and exhausting battle to help your kids make appropriate clothing choices. Have your lil ones resisted putting on an additional layer of long underwear only to complain later about being cold? The Apparel Indicating Weather Thermometer ($21) is geared toward kids to help them learn how to read a thermometer and dress accordingly.

The dial features large, colorful pictures indicating the appropriate clothing to wear for the corresponding temperature. There are three regional face options, so whether you live in the north with colder weather, the south with hotter weather, or somewhere in between, you can help your kids make the right clothing choices. Do you love this thermometer or do you think it's unnecessary?

Pacifier Thermometer: Kid Friendly or Are You Kidding?

At first glance the Pacifier Thermometer from Summer Infant ($8) seems like a genius invention. The device beeps when your infant's temperature reading is complete and will glow red if the temperature registers at 99.9 degrees or higher. Of course, traditional and ear thermometers usually work just fine for testing a lil one's temperature. Would you buy one for the sake of comfort?

YumSugar Gift Guide: The Grill Master

This Christmas season, give the grill master in your life a barbecue-related gift.

This Christmas season, give the grill master in your life a barbecue-related gift. He probably already has a grill, but what about a bbq pit? Or a portable grill? Or a grill pan for grilling indoors?

If he has every type of grill imaginable, give him the accessories that go with it. I'm planning on getting this lighted barbecue-thermometer fork for my bbq king. It's a digital thermometer that shows the temperature of probed meat or fish in just three seconds. A built-in flashlight makes it easy to read in the dark.
