Happy Holidays

The staff at Wicked Goodz would like to wish everyone a
Happy and Joyous Holiday Season.

Long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away...

... there came the coolest Flash Drives EVER!!! Okay, actually, they come out of Boston, but they're still ridiculously awesome!

We bring you, Series 1 Star Wars mimobots! This limited edition 2GB flashdrive comes in four memorable Star Wars characters; Chewbacca, Darth Vader, R2-D2, and Stormtrooper. Each mimobots comes with audio clips from the movies, wallpapers, icons, and trailers.

I want one of each. I can't wait to see who Series 2 will feature.

Avast, me hearties!

It's that time of year again, when Pirates descend upon our fair city. The ever-popular annual Salem Pirate Faire is back at Winter Island, September 15 & 16. It's a weekend long treasure chest of piratey goodness (or should that be badness)? It's sure to please the whole family, from the Captain right down to your littlest buccaneer. There's music, food, games, merchandise, and of course, Pirates.

Bone up on your pirate-speak for International Talk like a Pirate Day, September 19th. How awesome would it be if you could get the whole office doing it? "Arrrr, where's the quarterly reports?", "Avast! The copier be out of ink again!", "Smith! Bring me my coffee before I keelhaul you, you bilge rat." It'd be grand.

As always we have a treasure trove of booty to please even the scurveyest of dogs. Here's a few of our most recent aquisitions.

A notepad w/stickers, wallet (fer yer booty!), tissues (don't use the hand with the hook!), a candy skull lolly, pirate toss game, magnetic dress-a-pirate set, and a floaty tub toy.

Pirate or Ninja?

It is the question of the ages, who is cooler, Pirates or Ninjas?

Really it's a hard call. They both have their good points and drawbacks.

They both have interesting uniforms. Ninjas often wear similar uniforms of black, masks, and toe-socks!
Of course, Pirates get the bling; with multiple earrings and gaudy necklaces, not to mention ruffly shirts, leather boots, hats, and lots of scarves. No two Pirates seem to look alike, it's an "anything goes" attitude with their wardrobe.

They both get to carry weapons. Although both use knives and swords, Ninjas get specialized items like shuriken and nunchucks! Not to mention kick*ss martial arts skills.
Much cooler than a rusty cutlass and a pistol.

Ninjas drink sake and eat tasty foods like sushi, rice, and ramen (some ninjas eat lots of ramen!). Pirates drink rum (lots of rum) and eat hardtack and dried beef. They also have to worry about scurvy.
I'm thinking the ninjas win that round.

Of course, both lifestyles are fraught with danger. You don't see too many old Pirates or Ninjas. And if you lose an arm or leg your Ninja career is pretty much over, although it doesn't seem to stop a Pirate. Score one for the seadogs!









The best part about Pirates is their symbol; the skull and crossbones. Awesome. It looks good on anything (shirts, flags, shower curtains, aprons...)





No matter your preference, I think we can all agree that both Ninjas and Pirates are pretty freakin cool and we've got the merchandise to prove it!

stick that in your basket

Oh my, it has been awhile since I last posted. Seems I completely skipped March. Ah well.

This month we have Spring to look forward to. I know the official first day of spring was last month but since we still have snow and frigid temps here I'll hold off on working in the garden until I'm sure we're defrosted. Sometime in May, I expect.

We're trying to get into the spring feel here with some fun items for a certain bunny to include in your basket. What says "Spring" more than a colorful basket filled with random candy and stuff!
We love random stuff!

Some of my favorites are this collection of mini toys (paints, modeling clay, markers and crayon).











Who could resist cute little duck-keys? A set of four rubber covers for your keys, so you can tell them apart. I'm going to put some on the hubby's work keys and see how long it takes him to notice (hee hee).












Is this the cutest thing ever?! Look at his happy little face! I love this plastic bank, it's just soooo cute! (squeals)












Yes, bunnies and chicks are very nice. But why have a boring ol' spring plushie when you could have a plush jackalope instead?!












Chocolate eggs and marshmallow peeps are nice, but this stuff won't rot your teeth. Happy Spring!

Love is in the air...

Hello my lovelies! I hope you all have a lovely Valentine's Day. We're waiting with bated breath to see if the first Nor'easter of the season hits us tomorrow. It's been very cold and windy here but we've only had 1.8 inches of snow so far. Usually by this time we average around 16 inches of snow . I'm not sure whether to be thankful or not.

At any rate, my dog and I braved the weather to take pictures of the ice sculptures that have popped up around town thanks to the Salem's So Sweet event. We helped fund the mermaid (my personal favorite).

Some of the other sculputres included a teapot, witch on a broom (gives whole new meaning to the expression "cold as a witch's teat" doesn't it?), a pair of seals, and Harry Potter (did you know Salem is the only North American city mentioned in the series?)!




This is the 5th year Salem has done this festival. I love seeing the ice sculptures, and sampling all the chocolate yummies offered by many of our fine retailers and resturants. Can't wait to see what they do next year!

A new year

Here we are, first post of the new year. We've recovered from the holiday shopping madness, the parties, and the sudden drop in temperature (last week it was 60 and yesterday was a chilly 24!).

Salem pretty much shuts down for the winter. Most of the attractions are closed, and many of the stores downtown will open weekends only. Makes it easy to find a parking spot, but a bit lonely.

This is the time of year we scour catalogs and websites, looking for new and exciting merchandise for our store. We've already spotted a couple of promising items.

We'll keep you updated on all the fun stuff we find, and what's going on in our lovely city. Be sure to check back! See you soon!
