Bond, James Bond

Sandbox Threads has just introduced a new Famous Face--James Bond. This is where I would normally insert a bad Bond reference or catch phrase, but I think it's best I just move on and wish you all a Happy Halloween!

A Flickr Page Too!!

In case you want to really study one of the pictures from the Sandbox Threads slideshow, we have also added a Flickr page featuring high quality images of just a hand full of our design possibilities. I'm still working on the math to figure out how many design possibilities.

Sandbox Threads NEW Gallery Slideshow

Sandbox Threads has added a slideshow highlighting many of our designs.

As you probably know, when you buy a shirt from Sandbox Threads, we let you pick between a onesie and a t-shirt, short-sleeve or long-sleeve, in sizes from 3-6 months to 6T, in six different colors, and finally even the color of the design you choose for the shirt. Whew, thats a lot of choices. And if I were smarter and better at math, I'd figure out how many different options all those choices create.

While I work on that, enjoy the slideshow, and remember shopping at Sandbox Threads is FUN!

But How Do You Steer It?

The Sandbox Threads' shirt shown above features a concept drawing from 1947 of a concept motorcycle.

While my parents were visiting last week, I fulfilled an order for what we call the 47 Bohn Motorcycle. My dad pointed out a design flaw--how exactly do you steer that thing? If you look closely, you really can't. None the less, we think the design looks great on a Sandbox Threads shirt.

A Perfect Shirt for Halloween

We are just a couple weeks shy of Halloween, and Sandbox Threads' Frankenstein onesie or shirt makes a perfect statement for this time of year (or anytime of year for that matter). Our son has many Sandbox Threads' cast-offs (my wife claims I "intentionally" mess up certain orders so Ben gets his very own SBT original. I take the 5th.), and his Frankenstein shirt gets more comments and compliments than all other shirts combined (well Charlie Chaplin is a close second).


Happy October, and come on over to Sandbox Threads to find the perfect shirt for your little one.

NEW LOWER PRICE

Sandbox Threads is please to announce that we've lowered our prices. All shirts and onesies are now $17.

HAPPY, HAPPY Sandbox Threader!

We have had many happy customers at Sandbox Threads, but we have to say this may be the happiest Sandbox Threads kid we've seen.

If you'd like to make your little one this happy, you can get the above pictured Jon Stewart onesie and many other hip designs at Sandbox Threads.

Long time....

....but we're still here. The blessing of growing as a business has limited the time I have to make posting on The Thread. Sandbox Threads is doing well, and we have a few big things on the horizon that we will talk to you more about in the month to come.

The designs above (Sock Monkey, Stop Wars, and Chick Magnet) are a few of the quick selling designs that have keep us busy at Sandbox Threads.

Race for the Cure

Often it takes bad news or sad news to give you that good swift kick in the behind to get involved. We at Sandbox Threads have since our inception discussed giving a portion of our sales to "a cause," but, until now, we have not made it a priority.

Unfortunately, the news that gave us the swift kick in the behind was that of a long-time friend's diagnosis of breast cancer. Shortly after processing this unexpected news, Elizabeth and I discussed making The Susan G. Komen for the Cure our "cause."

We don't want to oversell this, or make Sandbox Threads' support of "Team April" (our friend's Race for the Cure team) seem to be a marketing ploy. However, we do want you to know that 5% of all Sandbox Threads sales will be donated to The Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

To find out more about breast cancer, just click on any of the Susan G Komen links in this post. Or if you would like to donate to Team April, please follow this link to donate.

Drool.icio.us

Yesterday and then again today, Drool.icio.us at Babble featured two Sandbox Threads designs. This link today featuring Sandbox Threads' TV Stinks. And this link yesterday featuring President Poopoohead.

Now we are of the belief that any press is good press (especially press on a baby website), but the two posts left us scratching our head. While the sentiments on TV Stinks and on President Poopoohead are different, both designs are statement shirts, and more than likely statement shirts of the parent's beliefs more so than the baby (which we, for the most part, do not see as a problem). Really, what baby would ever choose the face of Bill Murray on their shirt? But we know quite a few parent who have.

Either way though, we want to thank Drool.icio.us for even raising the issue, and pointing their readers toward Sandbox Threads. We're quite certain we have a little something for every one.
