MustBuyGifts (a shopper's review)

By $Zero

cash

While we've been scouring the web for MustReadBloggers, we've also come across quite a few great MustBuyGifts for this holiday season.

Well, one, anyway.

So, after a bit more research, I'll begin to blog about it.

Stay tuned.

It's an utterly amazing pen.

...

Meanwhile, a question. Have _you_ stumbled upon any exceptional gift ideas in your travels lately?

It seems like there always used to be _lots_ of cool stuff out there, but not so much anymore (except for the one thing I mentioned earlier -- it's a truly fascinating product).

When I was younger, it always seemed like there would be five or ten MustBuyGifts competing for the holiday shopper's attention and wallet. Not so much anymore.

I mean, can you name even one big-deal consumer product these days?

Anyway, if you HAVE spotted a really neat new item this year, be sure to let us know in the comments and perhaps we'll add it to this wonderfully evolving review.

(Or my shopping list!)

So... now maybe you're finally getting the joke regarding the double meaning of the title of this blog entry, huh?

For full effect, repeat it out-loud while doing your best William Shatner imitation. *

"Must... Buy... Gifts..."




* I did so, and it was so absolutely hilarious to moi that I decided to hurry over to our internet hosting company to register the MustBuyGifts domain (all the while imagining Shatner doing the double entendre advertising campaign).

But the domain was already taken.

Oddly enough, it's not being used AT ALL. **

Yikes.

What a waste of a great marketing tool.


** It's not even parked as an ad for itself.


Anyway, I _was_ able to register MustBuyTees.com, FWIW.




Is Kevin Pollak a master impressionist, or what?

And if you think his Kirk was good, you just _gotta'_ hear his Christopher Walken.

Whoa.

If you scroll all the way down to the bottom of the blog their may be an ad rotating for the product that I'm currently researching.

It's an absolutely amazing pen.

Definitely a technological wonder if I ever saw one.

And funny, too.

You have to see the draw a piano demonstration to really understand how great the product is.

Okay, this is weird. Last night I tried to leave a comment here about buying tee shirts at Cafe Press, but my intertoobs connection disappeared before I hit send. Couldn't get it back, so I just went to bed. Today I come back, and what do I see? You've updated your post and now have a tee shirt blog!

In any case, the best thing about buying stuff at CP is that they include a TON of bubble wrap in their packaging, so Miz 15 and I have a pop pop poppin' party when we get sumpin.

Don't forget the bubble wrap!!

Well, hey, if they've got good tee shirts (and or blogs) let's invite them over to the newly forming/evolving MustBuyTees.com!

Wait until you see the marketing we're gonna be doing with the ImproveSomething shirt.

It's gonna be quite the campaign.

You see, that utterly simple but bland design is merely version #1.

There are MANY more versions to come.

Many more versions to evolve!

Hence the name of the shirt.

Eventually, that first version will be like the first Simpson episodes on the Tracey Ullman Show.

Remember those?

Whoa.
