Cool Valentine’s Day jewelry for women: 14 pieces that are edgy, funky, and anything but traditional.

by Liz Gumbinner | Style + Beauty, Valentine's Day

I have always loved the range of cool Valentine’s Day jewelry for women, like me, who aren’t quite into the traditional stuff. Nothing wrong with a solid sterling Tiffany heart necklace of course! But if you’re shopping for Valentine’s Day...

Exceptional chocolates from Black-owned chocolate companies. For Valentine’s Day and beyond!

by Christina Refford | Food + Recipes, Valentine's Day

I may have just written about 20 of the most delicious Valentine’s food gifts that go beyond a box of chocolates, but that doesn’t mean I don’t also want my own box of beautiful and delicious chocolates for Valentine’s Day. But not just any box of...

14 practical Valentine’s gifts for her that aren’t flowers, but they’re not a case of motor oil, either

by Liz Gumbinner | Valentine's Day

When looking around for practical Valentine’s Day gifts for her — well, we weren’t super impressed. Most women don’t want a vacuum (here honey, clean up after me!) or a gift card for an oil change (seriously, we were pitched that once) and yet...

10+ cool Valentine’s Day gift ideas for boys who might not be into the heart necklaces and sparkly cards.

by Kate Etue | Valentine's Day

Valentine’s Day has a tendency to skew all lace and hearts and traditionally “girly” stuff, so as a mom of boys, I wanted to find some cool gifts just for them. Well, not just for them, because I know a lot of girls would like these too — but...

You can pry this heated, weighted blanket from my not-at-all-cold, dead hands

by Liz Gumbinner | Living

February is hard for me in a zillion ways. Low light, cold temperatures, the biological imperative to eat all the Oreos. (Didn’t Darwin mention Oreos somewhere in his writing? I could swear I remember that from 7th grade biology.) Oh, and then there’s this...

7 adorable Valentine’s Day gifts for babies: An excuse to celebrate something, anything, these days.

by Caroline Siegrist | Valentine's Day

If you ask me, there’s nothing as cheerful as shopping for Valentine’s Day gifts for babies. Necessary? No! Adorable? So much yes. And as a mom of little ones who really needs an excuse for some cheer and celebration — especially with no date night...

16 Valentine’s gifts for friends who could probably use a little extra love this year.

by Christina Refford | Valentine's Day

No matter how I personally feel about the goofily coined term “Galentine’s Day,”  I do agree that this is the year I might send Valentine’s gifts to friends. And I don’t mean friends with benefits! Just…friends. As we are...

Hi! We’re Kristen + Liz!



 Kristen Chase + Liz Gumbinner of Cool Mom Picks We started Cool Mom Picks in 2006 to help make life cooler, more meaningful, and more fun for parents of all kinds.

Trivia: It was called Cool Mom Sh*t for the first two days. (Yeah, we rethought that.)

We had no idea our site would grow to become a major lifestyle network, that we'd end up sharing our finds with the TODAY Show and Martha Stewart, that we'd be able to make a real difference for so many small businesses and women-run companies, or that we'd end up with an incredible community of the coolest readers on the planet. (If we do say so ourselves).

We still love what we do every single day. And we're so glad you're here.
