« Previous EntriesAll Occasions Cards
Thursday, March 4th, 2010Cards are classy. And let’s be honest, sometimes it’s better for everyone if we just keep our stupid mouths shut and leave it up to an inanimate object to cover our bases. You know, keep us polite. That’s why we all could probably use YouAndMeTheRoyalWe’s All Occasion Cards to say “thank you” and “sorry” on [...]
I’m Sorry
Monday, February 22nd, 2010I find myself reaching for ctrl + z more often than not. Did I just add too much salt? Ctrl + z. Did I just sprain my ankle while casually walking on the sidewalk? Ctrl + z. Did I just eat 20 too many cream puffs? Ctrl + z. Funny thing is, I did all [...]
Toy Fair 2010: Banana Design Lab Snugglies
Thursday, February 18th, 2010Like any convention, Toy Fair was pretty exhausting and it didn’t help that we had lunch 5 hours after I was ready to start stuffing my face. But as I nearly fell asleep, wandering the aisles of crazy people with toys, I stumbled upon the Banana Design Lab booth where I finally got to give [...]
Toy Fair 2010: Violet Gumdrop!
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010Forest and Jenny went together like peas and carrots, but my bestie and I go together like milk and cookies. Mostly because I’d rather be a cookie than a carrot. Just saying. Anyway! You know how I am. Stamp a milk carton onto anything and I’ll come running. Lucky for me, the treasures over the [...]
Anatomical Heart Locket
Monday, February 8th, 2010Do you love someone? Do you want to be with that person forever? Do you want to keep a picture of him or her close to your heart? Then this is not your locket. Perfect for anti-Valentines and fans of anatomy and guts, this heart only has one thing to offer. More heart. It’s stunning [...]
Paper Ribcage
Thursday, February 4th, 2010Cards are a strange accessory to gifts and occasions. They’re nice and all, but how did one create a successful mega industry based on these little pieces of paper? I will never understand. Wait, yes I do. We’re lazy. Fair enough! But if you want to shake it up and give a card with a [...]
A Law And Order Valentine’s Day
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police, who investigate crime; and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories. This is their love.
Everyone’s most desired valentine, Brandon Bird, has revisited the Law and Order Valentine theme for your benefit and your [...]
Skip The Chocolates – Valentine’s Day Box Of Microbes!
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010ThinkGeek’s microbe plushies are pretty great as is. I totally gave Dom salmonella for Christmas once, and it was great! So why not skip the chocolates, the roses and the trashy lingerie and give your loved one a heart-shaped box of all the things Valentine’s Day is made out of, including sperm, egg, penicillin, amoeba [...]
Cthulhu In Love Perfume
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010I’m not really sure what kind of scent would attract the Cthulhu, but according to the scientists of horror of ThinkGeek, it’s something like “an amorphous mix of oppressive, piceous ritual incense, macerated kelp, sea salt, sticky dark ocean plants, and . . . mixed chocolates.” Wow, that’d probably go great with the H.P. Lovecraft [...]
How To Wrap Your Cat
Thursday, January 14th, 2010Ok, so Christmas has passed, but that doesn’t mean we can’t indulge in the fountain of knowledge that is how to wrap one’s cat as a present. Sure it’s cruel, but only if you start wrapping your gifts in September. Plus, that cat is totally digging its wrapping nest. Someone bring me that cat. Quick.
…It [...]
Fuck Christmas
Thursday, December 17th, 2009Before I even began writing I made sure to file this puppy under the “A Dream Come True” category. Mostly because it is. If I had the time and money to invest into a collection of “fuck” ornaments, I’d be an extremely happy person. Mostly because I curse like a sailor. And I love Christmas. [...]
Sharkquidae
Thursday, December 10th, 2009Best shark ever? It’s up for debate. I mean, there’s A LOT of amazing sharks out there, but this one claims to be a centaur that has the ability to explode your ex via thought control. Yeah, that’s pretty impressive. Until it’s “bestness” is decided, you can go buy SteffBomb’s awesome print for a fairly [...]
Hotchocspoon
Monday, December 7th, 2009Those hot cocoa packets that people started putting together as Christmas treats are out and giant blocks of chocolate with a spoon stuck in them are in. And by giant I mean moderately sized for a cup of hot cocoa. It’s definitely a more interesting presentation and while I would love to encourage you to [...]
Scurvy Begone!
Thursday, December 3rd, 2009ScuuuUUUuuuuurrrrrvvyyyy! OooooOOoooOOOooooh! Whatever will you do to cure yourself of this pirate plague? Well, you could drink a little orange juice or simply pop some Scurvy Begone (which is actually just a cool looking bottle of colorful capsules of vitamin C). At least with Scurvy Begone, you not only benefit you and your gums but [...]
Pac-Man Ring Set
Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009Wakka wakka wakka wakka wakka wakka wakka wakka wakka wakka… That’s what you’ll be hearing all day when wearing Rachel Pfeffer‘ s Pac-Man Ring Set. Then again, woman have suffered much worse for the sake of beuaty. Much much worse.

Pie Gate – For The Love Of Pie
Friday, November 27th, 2009Pie is good. Pie is great. And after like a day like Thanksgiving, there’s a whole lot of pie to go around today. I happen to have a couple of slices waiting for me in the fridge. Unfortunately, we were not equipped with the adjustable Pie Gate yesterday to keep all that delicious blueberry goo [...]
The Punch Card
Friday, November 27th, 2009Greeting cards can be a little limiting. It’s not like you walked over to the Hallmark offices and expressed your deepest, truest feelings for them to print millions of copies of just so you can wish Mom a happy birthday. So why not skip the card aisle all together and stick with a more customizable [...]
Beary Froggy Frying Pans
Tuesday, November 24th, 2009Whoever said your frying pans can’t be cute enough to gobble up can go suck a pancake. I mean, not that anyone ever said that. At least not on the record. And well, no, you shouldn’t eat your frying pans. But you can eat the delicious and adorable pancakes you’re about to fry up on [...]
The Pop-Up Book Of Phobias
Monday, November 23rd, 2009When it comes to the gift-giving season, books are a pretty safe bet. However, there is nothing safe about The Pop-Up Book Of Phobias, not even as a gift to yourself. I mean, unless you really know yourself. I happen to know myself as well and I most definitely don’t need this popping out at [...]
