Kevin.. and Bacon! WOW

So Kevin Bacon was in Kent just yesterday!  He and his brother have a musical group, The Bacon Brothers and performed at the Kent stage last night.  We heard he was walking about town so we sent a shout out on FB (should've use twitter!) to tell Kevin just how much we LOVE Bacon!  Really this store was made for these guys.
Besides who isn't a big fan of Kevin Bacon?  The Following?  Awesome!  Foot Loose?  Oh yeah.
Here is to you Kevin and BACON!

I had my daughter write up a review of this (well she did this 4 years ago and I am just getting around to sharing it!  Our information is good, just not timely).

Weird Things Gift List!

 

I asked a couple staff members to come up with our top weird things for gifts.  Jenna and Steve's list:

1) Instant Underpants: These underpants come condensed in a small tin...to expand them, just add water! Stick them in your purse or your pocket and you'll always be prepared for any unexpected accidents.

2) Mustache Comb: Tired of staring at your husband/dad/grandpa/cousin/aunt's unruly mustache? Then give them the gift of grooming made easy with the mustache-sized switchblade comb! You'll have them looking dapper in no time.

3) Fart Bombs: Researchers have spent hundreds of years trying to come up with a way to create the scent of flatulence without having to exert all that effort.  The end result? These XL Fart Bombs! Just break the inner bag and watch the fart bomb inflate and burst with that unmistakable smell as your friends and family react with pure horror/admiration.

4) Chicken Mask: We know. Horse masks are all the rage right now.  Whatever happened to individuality? To independence? To poultry? This chicken mask lets everybody know that you aren't afraid to take a two-legged stand against a four-legged world.  Just don't forget to shake ya tail feather while you're at it.

5) Crazy Cat Lady Board Game: Becoming a true cat lady can be expensive. Between the costs of litter, cat food and vet bills, owning between 3 and 9,000 cats can be a real money-sucker.  That's why we offer the Crazy Cat Lady Board Game! Move across the board while trying to collect more cats than your opponents and live out your cat lady fantasies for a fraction of the cost.

6) Duff Beer Energy Drink: Is it beer? Is it an energy drink? Nobody knows! Just kidding, we know. And it's an orange energy drink that looks exactly like the famous Duff beer from the Simpsons.  Fool your friends into thinking you've just stepped out of Springfield, and fool your parents into thinking you've taken up underage drinking! (And then reassure them immediately thereafter that you are actually not drinking beer and then go clean your room or something)

7) Waitress Action Figure: What's more exciting than taking orders and bringing food to restaurant patrons? Capture all of the adventure of food service with the waitress action figure!  With her magnetic trays and removable apron, you're guaranteed to have hours of fun serving food while complaining about rude customers and less-than-minimum wage!

8) Creepy Doll Head Salt and Pepper Shakers: If you're anything like me, you hate to share your spices The solution to your problem? The Creepy Doll Head Salt and Pepper Shakers! Your dinner guests will think twice before reaching for the salt or pepper as these creepy doll heads stare back at them silently saying "I dare you."

9) Plush Uterus: Stuffed animals are a thing of the past! Instead, we've got plush guts! What's more cuddly than a uterus or more adorable than an appendix? We sure don't know.

10) Squirrel Coffee Cup: As the stress of the holidays starts to wear down our little furry squirrel friends, they've grown tired and slow on their journeys to climb trees and gather nuts.  Our solution? The Squirrel Coffee Cup! Just fill this tiny mug up with your favorite coffee blends, add espresso and hand it off to your squirrel friend!  It'll be just the pick-up they need after late nights of online shopping.

Jenna's Top 5 weird gifts for Christmas 2013

I asked my staff what their top 5 favorites are... here is Jenna's response.

1) Horse mask (I can now look and feel majestic for a fraction of what it would cost to actually transition into a horse)

2) 7 Wonders (it isn't an over-complicated game yet requires a good amount of strategy...it's also different every time so it never gets boring)

3) Head massagers...if you have to ask, you've never used one before

4) WordARound (it's a fast-paced word game and who doesn't like words!?)

5) Cubebots (they are great fidget toys and can be posed in approximately eight zillion different ways)
