The EE Gift Shop

[NancysSummerSip]

I got this idea from the fridge thread, and from something I saw this past weekend. While jogging around and warming up for the local Race for the Cure, I noticed that the Komen Foundation had really expanded their line of RFTC items. What started as a table of shirts, keychains, pens and mugs is now a tractor-trailer's worth of pink-hued, beribboned gear.

So I thought, "What if EE had a gift shop? What could we sell there to make some money?"

If there were bumper stickers, mugs and T-shirts, what would they say?
How about popular magazines/books? What titles would the gift shop offer?
Games? Videos? Gadgets?

Day Trips to Take on the Short Bus (a book, or magazine, or just scraps of paper since we have short attenti.....ooohhhh, shiny!)

[NancysSummerSip]

Thanks! I totally forgot about short bus ticket sales!

[KaraBoo]

The ability to buy your very own "J Stick"

[Chocolate Lover]

Bumper stickers: "
WTE just happened?!"
"SMURF!!!"
"AA is for quitters"

my 1st 3 thoughts.....

Trying to think of a coffee mug as good as Seattle's "I rode the SLUT" (I wanted to ask my Uncle to get me one since he lives there, but he's a little too religious. Maybe I should ask Donna if they still sell them? AND...it's not dirty, it's the South Lake Union Trolley or something like that Residents were protesting)

[Apple]

"I Hit POM" coffee mugs

[Peace Of Mind]

Drunk and horny bobble heads.

More bumper stickers;

"Walla!"
"Bite me!"
"It's COKE dammit!"
"Potato/Potahto/Vodka"

[The J]

Bumper sticker:

"Tailgaters make me stabby!"

Mr. Dark doll; like a Mr. Potato Head, with interchangeable pants, hair styles, etc.

Seperately of course. But the happy face named Fred will be there.

Think of Tina and MM for the drunk ones and Omni making thrusting motions or holding his Smurf, or TD with his harem. Do you see it now?

Apple, I exalted you, sweetie! I wish you could play more!!

[Peace Of Mind]

I can see a Dark doll in parachute pants or the one in the pink teddy and pearls. Those would be best sellers.

[Peace Of Mind]

As far as a game I'd think the Whack a Troll would be a huge hit.

[NancysSummerSip]

I wonder if a miniature couch from the Shack, complete with mystery stains, would sell?

How about a complete collection of Tina's favorite adult beverages, packed in a collectible carton with room for, oh, about 48 bottles?

A set of beer coasters, "The Best of the EE Avatars" collection.

And side-by-side on the bookshelf: the Cheesipedia and Iowa Swirl's "White Trash Translation Guide."

[KaraBoo]

The store needs to have a cafe as well - Nancy, you and Miss R can set up shop!

[NancysSummerSip]

I just PM'ed her and asked her to come over. Yooper pasties, truffles, margaritas..I think those three would about cover the necessary food groups, no?

[MB-NY]

Iowa Swirl's "White Trash Translation Guide."

--LOL-- That's just perfect Nancy.

How about another board game? The Doow Game; the first player to get his Toyota around the board without being recalled wins.

[ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ]

Packages of trail mix from Earth Muffins Coffee Shop.

Charms/keychains with mini Omni-couches, wine bottles, chocolates..........

I love it! And there would be floor mats that cause you to crash or lose a turn.

[Peace Of Mind]

Oh! And a penguin pirate with a whip that says "Arggggh. I want to plunder your booty!" when you push a button.

[Deleted]

K, I'm game to set up the cafe. Yooper pasties, truffles, margaritas...sounds like a balanced diet to me.

The Doow Game

As long as it comes with this disclaimer:
"Can accommodate up to 4 players, but don't be surprised if one player decides to hog all the fun."

[Mad Dawg Wiccan]

Bumperstickers, shirts, caps, and mugs:

SMURF HAPPENS!

[MB-NY]

How could we forget that we'll need an Adult section in the shop.

MU's Insta-Date; air pump sold separately.

Batteries; by the case.

Z-Packs; strong, medium and light strength.
