Sweet Salem

Wow! can you believe February is here already? Next week is the 6th annual "Salem's So Sweet"chocolate and ice sculpture festival. The sculptures last year were just stunning, I can't wait to see what they do this year.

Besides the ice sculptures, there's also chocolate & wine tastings, a blood drive, a raffle and many of the stores are giving away yummies and special discounts.

Wicked Goodz will have free candy plus a special gift with purchase of $20 or more. And of course, we have the most interesting gifts for your sweetie.

Where else can you get an "I love You" toast stamp,

"Love Toss" flinging cupid game,

"Scorned Woman" fudge (chocolate with a hint of jalepeno),


"Dirty Girl" bath products, and retro valentine stickers? No where else! Come on in, we've got what you want.

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!
