Diggin’ through the Unison time vaults

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

So I started thinking…What’s the oldest item still in stock here at Unison Gifts? Not that easy to figure out because:

  1. This place consistently sells out its close-out items
  2. We (just me) can’t sort our inventory by date
  3. The “date-created” field wasn’t used in the early days

So I was looking through the web catalog and I came across this doozy-

Super Inexpensive Gold&Glass Eagle FROM THE FUTURE!!!

Super Inexpensive Gold&Glass Eagle FROM THE FUTURE!!!

What is it called? No idea. How big is it? Looks small, but I have no idea to tell you the truth. It didn’t even have a price which technically means it used to be free. Just about the only info I could find in our database was that date it was created. No joke, this product is from the future!!! The date of creation is listed on June 10th, 2020!!!

So instead of finding Unison Gifts oldest item in stock I came across inventory from the year 2020. To celebrate this miraculous find I’ve set the price for this mysterious hand crafted crystalline ambassador of times-not-yet-known at the low low price of $1 if you buy a bunch of them.

Won’t find it at our trade shows. Won’t find it in our print catalog. Discover the future at our online catalog in the OnSale->Crystal&Glass->Animals category.

Edit: Nevermind, it turns out this item is actually one of the oldest in stock items in our warehouse. The 2020 date is just the result of a glitch. On the brighter side, the space-time continuum is still safe.

Off to New York

Two of our finest salesmen are heading off to the Big Apple for the New York Gift Show. I typed their names into Google to find some pictures of them. Unfortunately Steve and Jose have very common first and last names. Even though Google might say otherwise, this is NOT what they look like…

BRAND NEW BLOG!

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

We have a blog! We have a blog! We have a blog???

Ye we do! And this is the place where Unison Gifts can provide the best updates about upcoming shows, new products, and our best deals. We are introducing a new line of novelty hats for the 2010 holiday season that will be debuting on this blog in the very near future. In the meantime, here is a photo of my boss with the hat crudely photoshopped onto her head…

For some reason I thought it would be easier just to photoshop the hat onto my boss's head.

These hats dance and play music. Of course they are amazing!

(Oh, and beware the metal bunny.)
