Though worth reading for the laughs I'll be honest, this is a shameless plug for my friend Carla Dodd's new business. It is too late for me to get any of Carla's stuff sent over in time for the holiday but prople in America have plenty of time to order. Anyone launching a new business particularly at a time like this, deserves a helping hand.
From Boggart Blog's friend Carla Dodd, I'm delighted to bring you some fun, unique gift ideas for your Christmas list and beyond. I've recently opened a new store at Café Press called Carla's Corner (www.cafepress.com/carlascorner) with shirts, mugs, greeting and note cards, tote bags, and shirts of all sizes.
Here are a few samples:
"Frostafarian" snowman complete with stocking cap and dreadlocks.
This sounds great (see below) although Carla tells me her brother thought the Dread Snowman should be holding a massive joint but she decided to pass on that idea :- Ian
Grownup humor for babies, including "I'm at the grownups table and you're not"
Cute ideas for kids: snowgirls, Christmas trees, and slogans
Designated driver t-shirts to honor the person who keeps you safe
Gifts for the wine lover, the cat lover, and the computer systems guy
Humor for women of all sizes
"Fiftylicious" shirts for those celebrating half a century
...much more at the shop!
"I am truly thankful this holiday season to take a longtime hobby and turn it into a business with an excellent company like Café Press. Thanks to all of you for your encouragement, support, and friendship in the past and present."
love
Carla
Ian says,
Dread Snowman sounds great but he can't compete with the novelty toy in our house, Uncle Windy The Farting Gnome. He has a movement sensor to control his fart-noise generator so we stand him in the hallway and when anyone passes he rips one off for them. What a pity smells can't be digitized but good luck to Carla with her venture.
Please take a look at Carla's Corner, and e-mail the address to your friends. You'll be helping a fun person. It may be late to get her gifts shipped over now but you can all link to her page or mail it to your contacts across the pond.

made me laugh more than your gnome...
Will check out your friend's site...
(Nice to see you again, stranger.)
My Grandma used to have a model dog that if you lifted its tail a cigarette came out of the hole in its bottom.
Ive had trouble with gather messing up links before which is why I usually put the link in text next to the automatically generated link. You can cut and paste it then :)
Try this Carla's Corner
www.cafepress.com/carlascorner
Or stick http:// in front of it and type or paste it into your task bar.
Dread Snowman appeals to me because I love Reggae and Ska.
Stranger - se my comments above on failed link. This site gets more of a pain in the arse every time I log in. And then there is the issue of poor traffic performance. I will stay around though, even if I am not seen often.
Hi ;-)
Any idea why that "www.gather.com" is getting inserted ahead of the URL I want to link to. Are gather so desperate now they want to stop people escaping once they are in?
