Merch to Purch Online Item: "Seriously, Who throws a shoe?" T-Shirt
Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Thu, Dec 18, 2008 at 10:25 AM
Leave it to the retail world to turn a profit on the now famous shoe-throwing incident involving President Bush. Cafe Press, an online retailer of pop culture fads, has come up with this T-shirt depicting Bush being pelted with a shoe with the wording, "Seriously, Who throws a shoe?" The shirt comes in a range of colors, from military green to royal blue and is 100-percent cotton.
For a mere $28.99, this would be my pick for anyone who thinks Bush is an idiot. Seriously, who else would get a shoe thrown at him?
Order here.

Merch to Purch / Sales Artsy Item: Paintings at Fifteen Ten
Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Wed, Dec 17, 2008 at 10:23 AM
Recently I was helping a co-worker brainstorm ideas for a gift for his new girlfriend. Of course, my first suggestion was jewelry, because what girl wouldn't like a little bling, but he immediately shot down that idea. In fact, he shot down every suggestion I had, until I had my moment of brilliance: a piece of artwork. It takes some thought to pick out the perfect piece of art, and its message is simple: "I think you're cool."
Here are some paintings for sale at Fifteen Ten — Uncommon Home Antiques. The cool thing about these colorful pieces of art is that there aren't any rock-solid prices — you can make your own offer.
Oh, and by the way, everything in the store is 50 percent off.

Merch to Purch Fido Item: "Bristle Bone"
Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Mon, Dec 15, 2008 at 10:00 AM
One of the hottest products at dog boutique That’s Haute! is the “Bristle Bone” by Premier pet products. It brushes the dog's teeth and massages his gums while the dog tries to eat the gnawhide ring. The bone itself is very rugged and made of nylon so the bone itself is a chew toy. One end of the bone unscrews so pet parents can substitute other treats if they choose. $14.99 for the small
and $19.98 for the large. (The large is meant for dogs 40 lbs and up.)
