I have always, forever, long-time desired to have that packaging that we’ve all seen, or been lucky enough to receive, wrapped around our purchase lovingly, elevating it to a status of further enticement to delicious opening, while tempting you to set it unopened, on a shelf, itself enough beauty to behold. Yeah, that. I’ve tried [...]

As far as I can tell, they’ve been planning for this moment since before the last holiday season. Many of them support themselves financially with these sales. They [...]

The Deal: I was going to give away a I WANNA ROCK shirt to the person who sent me the bestest photo of themselves in a tinyrun shirt. This limited the amount of entries right out to the tried and true believers who’ve been around. Seemed fair at the time to throw a [...]

He was already high on the prospect that I was finally convinced to resurrect the much loved embroidered bacon [...]
