Galison/Mudpuppy online bestsellers of 2011

2012-01-05T12:38:28-05:00

We know that what people pick up on impulse in stores is not always the same as what appeals to online shoppers. Nevertheless, it's always fun to guess what the most popular products on our website are.

To be fair, sometimes we have too many titles competing--like Meryl Streep in various roles contending for an Academy Award. Mudpuppy Magnetic Figures are incredibly popular, but there are so many different titles to choose from...

So here are the deserving winners---most units sold on www.galison.com in 2011:

Gennine D. Zlatkis's illustrations and Galison design made this Avian Friends Pocket Planner a winner!

On the Mudpuppy side, Playful Patterns Magnetic Letters spelled V-E-R-Y- P-O-P-U-L-A-R!

And now they are available as sets of Playful Patterns Lowercase Letters and Playful Patterns Numbers, 2!

It will be fun to see what 2012 brings!

Galison/Mudpuppy Holiday Party

2011-12-23T08:05:00-05:00

The annual Galison/Mudpuppy holiday party took place last week.

We celebrated the approaching holiday season with a get together at our New York offices. Everyone chipped in and brought a dish to share. And there was a little champagne, and, the ever festive, egg nog too!

The office had a blast taking a little break and enjoying the creations brought in, to kick off the season.

Happy Holidays from the Galison/Mudpuppy family to yours!

Galison has a Midnight Bloom sale on the shortest day of the year!

2011-12-22T03:23:00-05:00

Today is the Winter Solstice. Just when there's the day's light is shortest, we thought about the far north's long summer nights and their midnight sun.

In honor of all this light and dark, we've put the Midnight Bloom pattern on SALE!

This file tote, for example, is a stylish way to organize paperwork, and it's now half price!

The matching memo mousepad, also on sale, is one of my own favorites--always handy for writing down coupon codes and temporary passwords while doing some midnight shopping! There are matching sticky notes, decorative business card files, and pencil cups, too.

But the best thing of all is that from now on, days will get longer!
