Joules Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Picture This Clothing allows kids to order a custom dress with their own coloring design. They can even order one for their doll, too. They are shipping two months out, but if you got the kit for a gift, the sundress would be ready before spring. https://picturethisclothing.com BTW, I saw this on Facebook, so can't really comment to the quality of the product, but it looks cool! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read some comments on a post, and it sounds like they might also be amenable to doing patent prints if you give them information about a patent that you know about (for example, if Great Uncle Harry invented something).

Garga Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I find this thread invaluable for my brother and his family whom I barely know. Also for my dad who has no hobbies and drinks only water, o.j. and milk (bubble wrap calendar on order for office). Sadly, I couldn't find a place to purchase the Extravagant Light Switch, so it will go on my "Pie in the Sky" wishlist along with the Trotify from last year. This year I'm considering a shirt like this for my aforementioned brother.

Garga Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I ordered the bubble wrap calendar today for my ds14 who always make a big deal about popping to death any bubble wrap that is unfortunately enough to make its way into our house. I'll be ordering 2 or maybe 3 pun maps for various people in my family; definitely for DH as he looooooves puns. He's pretty good at puns and a little vain about his pun-making ability. Also, 10 years ago I was decorating the house and said, "Dh, if you lived alone, how would you decorate?" He said, "With lots of maps on the wall." So, the house is decorated with the knick-knacks I like and we have about 4 big framed maps on the wall that DH likes. The pun map will be awesome to add to his map collection. I can't find the person who posted it, but thank you whoever posted it! (Here it is again: http://punmap.com/product/pun-map/) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the guys who make the map at an arts and crafts show yesterday (which is where I first discovered it a few years ago). Guy: "Have you seen our map before?" Me: "I've bought your map before."

Ellesmere Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I've gotten some jewelry from Accessory Alchemy on Etsy -- not the more expensive stuff, but what I got was lovely. A lot of it would work for steampunk fans.I was looking for a vertical pen pouch and found this one. Can be carried in a bag or stands up on a desk. Pairing with some nice pens and I heard about these artist tiles from Kareni.I heard about the Demeter Fragrance Library on the forum and found a crayon scent -- got a sample as a little joke for someone I know who always is sniffing at boxes of crayons. She always sniffs books, too, so I did consider these book themed tea lights. Also -- a SolarPuff Collapsible Light 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanny Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 (edited) Not an item that I "spotted", but something I recommend for consideration, for relatives/friends who live overseas. We have a "magicJack" and have had it for about 3 years now. If you send a magicJack to someone, also send them a lightweight phone that works in the USA. We can call 99% of the phone numbers in the USA free and I think also to Canada, PR and VI, but I only call to the USA. We have a phone number in the USA for it. OT: A childhood friend in UT had his landline number ported to magicJack several years ago. He is an Electronic Engineer and believes the quality and reliability are about the same as he had with his old "POTS" service from his local phone company. I think he saves about USD $30 a month, but I cannot remember how much he saves. He is overseas now and he takes his magicJack with him when he travels and has his home phone number. He pays magicJack about USD$10 a year for them to maintain his phone number like that. Edited December 15, 2016 by Lanny 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
