Hillary in KS Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Ds is turning 15 this week, and has started wearing ties much more often. He really likes the unique ones (Star Wars, Looney Tunes, etc.). Where would I find a brick-and-mortar store that usually carries something like this? (Don't have time to order one online.) Our town only has a WalMart, and their ties were all normal-looking. But I'll be going into the big city on Monday, and will have time to visit something there. Thanks! Hillary :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smrtmama Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Target has some silly ties. Spencer's would, but beware of inappropriate ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 How about Thrift Stores? I'm thinking lots of goofy ties might end up there (I know we've donated several over the years)... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 For future reference (ie Christmas), I order ties from www.WildTies.com for ds17. He has to wear a tie to school everyday! The website has many novelty and themed (holidays, occupations, etc) as well as more traditional ties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamagirl Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I second the thrift store...they always have a large selection of off beat ones for pennies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in MI Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Thrift store!!! We've gotten lots of fun ones there! My ds 12 made a tie out of duct tape and he actually wears it. He always gets comments!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justasque Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Thrift stores. They can be a bonanza for ties. Expect to pay $1.50-$2. EBay is another option, though you may not have time. I have no clue where you'd go to get new ones if not online. Except, now that I think about it, museum stores often have ties that relate to the museum's theme - like Egyptian themes for an ancient history museum, frogs for a natural history museum, etc. We have a large collection of novelty ties, including sports, history, animal, holiday, food, computer, board games, and cartoon themes. Our favorites are Tintin, Bayeaux Tapestry, Scrabble, and many of the computer ones. We particularly enjoy ones that look "normal" at first glance and turn out to be novelty when you look closer or if you "get" the reference.

Caroline Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Are you looking for Goofy as in Mickey's friend? You might try the Disney Store. Also, some malls have kiosks devoted to ties. You might find one there. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
