Did you ever forget a really important date… like your anniversary? Your wife’s birthday? Kinda awkward, eh? Ever go to buy your wife a bra for Valentine’s Day (oh yeah, that’s coming up) and… can’t remember her size? Yeah, so pathetic.
Well, fear not! We recently heard about a new product (thanks to Tyler Wainright of Building Camelot!) called THE LITTLE PINK CARD, “a nifty, wallet-sized card that assists your husband, boyfriend, or significant other in always buying you the perfect gift” and in remembering important dates.
As you can tell from the picture, it’s pretty self-explanatory; but it’s a good lifeline for guys who just can’t seem to remember these critical pieces of information despite their life depending on it. So, we dropped a line to the fine folks over at THE LITTLE PINK CARD and asked if we could do a giveaway with them… and so…
With Valentines Day right around the corner, THE FATHER LIFE and THE LITTLE PINK CARD are happy to bring you our “Help! I Forgot Our Anniversary!” Contest!
Here’s how it works:
- Post your most pathetic “I Forgot _____” story! We’ll read ’em all and choose the 4 funniest/most pathetic stories about a time you forgot your anniversary, got you wife a flower she was allergic to, etc… you get the idea.
- Have fun! This isn’t meant to humiliate us guys. It’s good to enjoy a good laugh reading these.
- The last day to post your story is Thursday, February 12th.
Here’s what you can win:

It was out 4th Anniversary, my wife was pregnant with our first child and we thought that since this would be the last chance to enjoy a really nice meal for a while we decieded to really do up the anniversary and go all out. We dressed to the nines and headed to Ruth Chris Steakhouse, proceeded to roll up a near $300 tab and at the end of the evening the bill came.
I reached for my wallet and it wasn’t where it normaly was… other pocket? Not there either… hrmmm..
Well, it was November so I went to coat check to see if it was in my coat pocket… nope. Oh Crap.
I run out to the car to see if many it was in the console, but alas my wallat was MIA. No problem, my wife has her purse… oh wait, not she doesn’t… Oh Crap.
So I was forced to leave my wife sitting in Ruth Chris, alone, while I drove back to the house to hopefully find my wallet. 45 minutes later I arrive back at Ruth Chris with wallet in hand.
I don’t forget my wallet anymore. DOH!
Is it me or is it crazy that they forgot to include “HER BIRTHDAY” on that list?
Designed by a guy 😉
Hmmm… good question – especially since it wasn’t designed by a guy! I think they let you pick what you want on your card from a list of choices… -B
Ben – Great contest! Oh, and thanks for the mention. I’m one of the lucky ones since I haven’t forgotten my anniversary…yet anyway 🙂
To answer @Mommy Niri’s question – I think you have to fill out what you see on the card but they do have a blank link that you can type anything you want. That would be a great place to include her birthday. I think once the Pink Card gains popularity you’ll probably be able to pick an choose what you want printed on the card.
Have a great weekend and I can’t wait to see who wins…poor guy!
I do think birthday should be something listed as it is an important date that is sometimes forgotten.
Great site dads.
