HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

There's too much blood in my caffiene system...

Ahhh, coffee... I can't get through the day without a good cuppa joe. And I'm betting you're going to buy at least one mug for somebody on your list. It's a great gift for anyone, I mean, everybody drinks! Here's a selection of coffee (or tea) mugs for your shopping pleasure.

Shakespearean Mugs of Love & Lust.
These white ceramic mugs are covered with color text depicting quotes from some of the Bard's works. The Shakespearean Love Mug will show off your romantic, sensitive side with quotes such as, "My heart is ever at your service" and "I love you with so much of my heart that none is left to protest."
Show off your other side with the Shakespearean Naughty Mug, covered in the Bard's words for your naughty bits and what you do with them. My personal favorites? "Making the beast with two backs" and "three inch fool".


Mugs that do stuff!
These mugs all have images that change when a hot liquid is poured in.
The Herny the VIII disappearing wives mug is a classy black mug with Henry in full color and his six wives in black & white. Pour in a hot drink and watch his wives disappear faster than he could marry them.
Vincent Van Gogh disappearing ear mug. Yup, you guessed it. Pour hot liquid into this full color mug and watch as Vinnie's ear fades away.

Our ever popular disappearing Civil Liberties mug is joined by the Global Warming mug. This bright blue and green map of the world shows what we're in store for when the polar ice caps melt. Pour in a hot beverage and watch the coastlines disappear. So long, California!
Then there's our Cheshire Cat mug. Black and white illustration of Alice and the Cheshire Cat along with the quote, "Well, I've often seen a cat without a grin, but a grin without a cat! It's the most curious thing!" The enigmatic kitty fades away when a hot liquid is poured in, leaving Alice alone with his toothy grin. Curious indeed.

Last but not least is the Descartes mug for the philosopher in you. Descartes said, "I think, therefore I am." But when asked if he'd like coffee and replied, "I think not", he disappeared. Ponder that over your morning cup.


Retro inspired images grace these full color mugs. Sweet 1950's housewives smile sweetly even as they threaten, "I haven't had my coffee yet. Don't make me kill you." and suggest you, "Drink Coffee. Do stupid things faster with more energy" Well, mom always did know best.


Injest a bit of history with your daily dose of caffiene with the 1674 Women's Petition against coffee and the 1674 Men's answer in Defense of Coffee mugs. These are nice looking 2 color mugs with wrap around text and illustrations. So whether you're all for the "indulgent & invigorating spiritualescency" or against that "nasty, bitter, stinking, nauseous puddle-water" these are sure to strike your fancy.


Each of these mugs are under $10!!! How awesome is that? You can afford to get a great mug, and some cocoa to go with! Sweet!

It's just what I wanted!

Admit it, you know that's the reaction you want from your gift recipient, even if it is just Carl from the office.

We have lots of inexpensive gifts for even the pickiest person on your list.

Know someone who always wanted to be a pirate? We have a vast selection of pirate related items. (heh heh, avast! pirates! get it?) For the little buccaneer there's pirate tattoos and stickers, a jolly roger washcloth, or a pirate rubber duckie. For the lady of the seas we have sheer scarves with skulls in black, white or red, a canvass tote bag for holding her booty and even a skull & crossbones apron for time in the galley. We also have a Jolly Roger flag (3'x5', perfect for the family sloop), skull cellphone charms, wrapping paper, wallet, clock, 2 different styles of lunchboxes, and lots more. Arrrrr, maties!

Got a sushi addict in your life? How about a set of 4 placemats? They're wasabi green and covered in lifelike full color pieces of sashimi. Do they need help deciding things? Try our Fortune Cookie, an oversize fortune cookie that works like a Magic 8 ball. Want something a little nicer? We have 5" high Buddahs in assorted colors, accented with gold. Bring a little luck with a magnetic notepad of the Maneki Neko, or Lucky Cat.
Can't figure out what to get that surly teen? We have an assortment of anime and comic related items featuring Naruto, FullMetal Alchemist, Emily the Strange, Lenore, Speed Racer, Wonder Woman, and Invader Zim. We also have lots of cool purses/bags (how about one shaped like dice?), wristbands, watches, jewelry and cell phones covers.



Need a gift for Yankee Swap or Secret Santa? Don't get caught giving another lame set of bath gels or desk calendar that no one wants. Try the "foot in the door" red high heel shoe doorstop. Practical and so couture. Or go nostalgic with a Sea Monkey kit, the world's only instant pets! A matching pair of authentic pink lawn flamingos will perk up any dull holiday get-together.


What do you get Dad? The last thing the poor guy needs is another tie, all-in-one tool, or socks. He's got a drawer full of them. Buy him something he'll really like. Like keychains with a real working calculator, level, or tape measure. Show you know he's a man's man with a John Wayne coffee mug or glass. Of course, real men like to be real clean. Get him the Bag o' Balls gift pack, with two soaps, body wash, lip balm and skin cream. Cleanliness without any frou-frou girly smell.We carry a fun selection of books for the crafty, including Stitch-n-Bitch, Generation T (108 ways to transform a t-shirt), and Subversive Cross stitch. We also have The Acme Catalog (so that's how the coyote gets all that cool stuff!), The Twinkie Cookbook, and Duct Shui; the way of the tape.












Is there anyone who doesn't know someone who loves Elvis? I didn't think so. We have Elvis mugs, glasses, gorgeous purses and totebags, wallets and more. There's other americana such as Marilyn Monroe and John Wayne mugs, lunchboxes and accessories and replicas of vintage movie posters.

No matter who is on your list, we have a gift for them!

It's a wrap!

What time is it? Well, according to the martini clock, it's Happy Hour! The stem is a swinging pendulum and the second hand is accented with a cocktail olive!




So it's time to party, but how will you know when the hor'deuves are done? Why, with this fun kitchen timer, of course! When the time is up, this blender plays an assortment of classic game show tunes as the "ice" is stirred up.
