My friend has a little boy who loves hurricanes and tornadoes, volcanoes and shipwrecks. He is the fantasy demographic of The Weather Channel and National Geographic. Whenever I see a TV special I know this boy will love — or an educational toy — I email his father. This week he’s enthralled by the sinking of the Titanic and next week it might be Iceland’s sputtering volcano that’s powerful enough to stop airplanes.
Whatever the fascination, I keep my eye out for his favorite stuff. That’s what friends do for friends. And parents do for other parents.
So I am absolutely thrilled that WallCandy Arts has just added a Facebook “Like” button and a Twitter sharing button on all of its products. It’s just like if you are in a cool store, the kind that doesn’t just sell that mass-marketed stuff that every place has, and you see something you JUST KNOW your friends will like. You rummage through your wallet for the back of a business card to scrawl down the Website to look up later and then email to them.
Well, when you are window shopping from home and the computer screen is your window, one click will share everything you want to share. Your favorite removable chalkboard decals, your favorite erasable whiteboard decals and your favorite glow-in-the-dark decals!
These Facebook and Twitter buttons are even ideal if YOU want to drop hints to your friends and relatives about what might look fantastic in the baby’s room or your son and daughter’s room when they go through their next phase.
And speaking of phases, if your son happens to be into race cars right now, he’ll surely love these new Race-Me designs that bring the racetrack right into the bedroom. More details to come, but here’s a sneak peek!
Race-Me car decals hit the ground running on May 12!
When we developed our stylish line of removable wall decals, we never imagined that they might become an essential item in Daddy’s toolbox. Well, the worlds of home decorating and home repair have officially merged!
If you type in “How to Fix a Wall” on the YouTube searchbar, you’ll get 368 video listings for drywall and spackle and putty. But our guy avoids the mess and has a lot more fun with the WallCandy method.
Our Monster Patrol characters, like all our wall stickers, are thick and durable and won’t show any pesky and unsightly air bubbles when you smooth them with your hand.
I love this guy’s revelation that he doesn’t even know the real way to patch a wall. Whether he’s joking or not, there definitely is a sharp decline in the modern male’s knowledge of home and car repair compared to our fathers and grandfathers.
Dockers, the khakis company, just launched its sarcastic “Wear the Pants” campaign inferring that men need to go back to their traditional ways.
Hey, there’s no harm in taking an auto repair class or spending a few more hours at Home Depot a week. But there’s no need to give up the decorating component of home improvement.
My sources say that most women dig guys who are into wall decals. What do you think?
