We’ll Live Like Kings

If there is one thing that more than three decades of life has made indisputably clear for me, it’s this:  I don’t want to have to get up.  And since I haven’t yet mastered Homer Simpson’s move…

the only rational conclusion is that some sort of ambulatory assistant is essential.  However, as previously established, I don’t trust robots, even robot housekeepers.

Plus, the cost of oil these days!  It just doesn’t fit in the budget.  But there’s one choice that is both adorable AND willing to work for fruit:  monkey butlers.*

How many monkey butlers will there be? One at first, but he’ll train others.

Our newest design will class up your life and help you dream really, really small.  Available  as a poster, t-shirt, or phone case.  It’s alright.

* An anthropologist sister of mine tells me this is a chimpanzee, and that chimps are apes, not monkeys.  This is an important distinction that I definitely care about even a tiny bit, so please feel free to imagine the “The More You Know” rainbow and music in your head.  This post already has enough irrelevant graphics.

Fingerprint Balloon House Guestbook

For those whose wedding date has already passed, but who still want a fingerprint guestbook of their own, we’ve got an option you might want to consider: the Fingerprint Balloon House.  You just need to purchase and move into a new home first, but really, that’s a small price to pay for something so memorable!

Of course, it’s perfectly appropriate for a wedding guestbook too.  The Fingerprint Balloon House guestbook comes on poster paper or canvas in several different colors, and can be sized to fit the number of guests at your housewarming, wedding, or adventure club meeting.  (See our instructions for customizing, sizing, and using a fingerprint guestbook here.)  It’s unique and memorable, and your friends and family are going to love knowing that they’re a part of it.

By the way, in case you were wondering, this is not remotely similar to nor inspired by any copyrighted animated feature films.  It’s’ just something you can proudly hang in your home for years to com-

Ford That River

If you grew up when we did, playing Oregon Trail was pretty much mandatory.  At least we learned a lot of survival skills from our play:  ammo is more important than food; rabbits are impossible to shoot; and there is no way to get a wagon across a stream without potentially killing somebody.  In fact, you pretty much can’t do anything without potentially killing somebody.

Well, we made a series of designs reflecting some of our favorite Oregon Trail moments.  There’s the “Rampage” (don’t pretend like you haven’t done it):

oregon_trail_rampage

(available as a dark t-shirt, light t-shirtmouse pad, mug, notebook, bag, and playing cards)

The “Superman” (no human could manage such a feat!):

oregon_trail_more_than_200lbs

(available as a colored t-shirt, white t-shirtapron, bag, and bumper sticker)

And the “Inevitable” (sorry about the cholera):

oregon_trail_tombstone

(make and customize your t-shirt here)

Get yourself some classic Oregon Trail gear, and don’t forget to pour a little out for all those buffalo left along the way.

Beach Fingerprint Balloon Guestbook

We live in New York City, where beaches are few and far between.   And unless you like cold water, they aren’t much fun for most of the year anyway.  But I’ve been to some great beaches in other parts of the world – beaches you might actually want to get married on – which is why we understood when someone* requested a beach version of our popular Fingerprint Balloon Couple Guestbook.

Heather put together a beautiful design featuring sand, waves, and the happy couple flying off into the sky together.  We hope you like it!

Aisle 3

Before Heather was a renowned Zazzle image-smith, she was a college student who made awesome art for fun.  (Also, to satisfy degree requirements.)  This poster was originally made as a woodblock print, which means it was carved out of wood and then ink was applied and then some other stuff happened and then we had a poster to hang in our apartment.

You should probably get the details from her.

Anyway, it is a super cool design and we’re proud to offer it as a poster option on Zazzle.  Several of our friends have bought one and it looks great in person!  Very colorful and fun, and no wood carving required.

Fingerprint Balloon Couple Guestbook

We’ve had a lot of success with our Fingerprint Tree guestbook, but there’s lots of other options too.  One of our favorites is the Fingerprint Balloon Couple guestbook series, which features a silhouette of newlyweds about to fly away:

We really love the imagery of your friends and family helping lift you up.  Marriage is an exciting new adventure, and your loved ones are always there to give you a hand (or maybe just a finger).  With the Fingerprint Balloon guestbooks, you’ll have a guestbook that you will really love and can proudly display for a lifetime.

This guestbook is available in black and white or color on poster paper wrapped canvas, and wood.  And if you’re having a beach wedding, check out our new Beach Fingerprint Balloon Couple guestbook.
