If you just arrived at this page by clicking on one of our menu links, we told you not to click here! It will be interesting to see how many of you (we know we would), ignore the instruction. If you landed on this page from a query on a search engine, then this page has done it's job. The purpose of this page is a blatant attempt to raise our results in the search engines that are pertinant to our retail business. We already have a lot of top rankings, but we would like top rankings for some of the terms below. Please follow the links below for items that you may find of interest. The blog items as we add them will feature a desired term, and a product or two. Thanks for visiting. Please come again!

We do encourage you, when in the Seattle area, to drop by our store, as we have a much larger selection in the store, than we plan to get on the web (we need to keep a little bit of mystery and wonder in the shopping experience). If there is a specific item that you want, but don't see, don't hesitate to contact us, as we may be able to get it.

  • Gadgets
  • Activism
  • Books
  • Political Books
  • Gifts
Read down the page to (if you're really bored and need to fall asleep, or maybe you're really curious) see what terms we have attempted to raise our rankings for. You can actually see our results, as we now probably can claim over hundred top ten rankings (note there where 4 or 5 number one rankings that I just listed yesterday, 05/24/07). So if you want to raise your rankings/visibility in the search engines, we can help, just contact us.

Fremont - yes, Wallingford is near Fremont!

For all of you that are familiar with Seattle, you know that Wallingford is right next to the following neighborhoods: Fremont, Ballard, Green Lake/Phinney, and the U-District. So if you are in any of these neighborhoods, you are very close to us in Wallingford. So when visiting North Seattle, be sure to stop in. And for those of you searching for the newest funky/laid-back neighborhood, many people think that Wallingford, the 'Hood That Could, is now funkier than Fremont, the Center of the Universe. It's a lofty comparison indeed for the humble neighborhood of Wallingford. We encourage everyone to visit both, and make your own determination.

cards seattle

We are working on being THE place in Seattle for cutting edge, funny, wacky cards. If you want something like you might find at Hallmark, DON'T come to us! For things like that we actually reccommend the card store Paper Delights down the block from us. If you want cards that push the envelope, that are funny, wacky, we are THE place. Look for an expanded selection coming soon. One of the newest lines we carry which pushes the envelope is Across the Line. Very funny cards!

So if you're in Seattle, and you need out of the ordinary cards, then stop by our store.

Cards Seattle, Greeting Cards

We really want to rank highly for "CARDS", as we sell a LOT of cards and we intend on being Seattle's premier place for edgy, funny, wacky, goofy cards. We are not Hallmark, and NEVER will be. If you want elegant, classy cards, we reccommend Paper Delights just down the street from us - very nice elegant cards, but not that funny. If you want in you're face x-rated, we reccommend the Erotic Bakery, also down the street from us, great selection of full frontal nudity. Our cards walk that line between the two, featuring such great card lines as Across the Line (very, new, VERY funny), Smart Alex, Clayboys, Greetings from Uranus, MikWright, and many more (including local artists). We divide our cards up by sections, religious, potty humor, etc. so it makes it easy for you to find the perfect card. When you think cards, and you're in Seattle, we're the store for you!

Today's Word - T-shirts

Just noticed that we don't rank so highly for the word T-shirts. Well we do have LOTS of t-shirts in the store We have some t-shirts online, but there are MANY more t-shirts in the store. We have a a large selection of old political t-shirts for just $5.00/each.  So be sure to come in and check out all the t-shirts. And if you make t-shirts, especially political ones, bring them in - we do sometimes buy t-shirts outright, and we're almost always to work out a consignment deal for t-shirts.

 Once again today's ranking that we want is t-shirts !

And another term for today - books
Yes, we have books! Lots of them! We love books, and we have a great selection of gift, eco and political books with a selection of other books as well. If you want to support small businesses like us, and there is a book that you really want, let us know! If we don't have it, or wouldn't necessarily order it, we are set up as an Amazon affiliate, and can at least get a commission from the purchase. So support you small local business, and buy your books from us!

Today's term: Bacon
Many people have asked what's the deal with bacon. Well the answer is that we don't know, but bacon is very popular right now. One of the most popular things that we sell is bacon salt , which comes in a variety of mouth watering flavors. We also have a lot of other bacon product - bacon soap, bacon belts, bacon folders, bacon lip balm, not to mention baconaise. So if you like bacon, we have the products for you! Please don't say anything about turkey bacon! It's just not the same!

Why not Wallingford? Yes, Wallingford the 'Hood That Could

Was disappointed to find that our website did not show up in the top ten for the search "gift shop Wallingford" in Google. We we're listed in the 10 places that Google puts up at the top for local searches like this, but we feel our website should have been in the top ten for this also. So this entry is an attempt to rectify that. We are located in Wallingford, the 'Hood That Could. We call Wallingford the 'Hood That Could because Wallingford really is an old time community area that has pulled together to create a better neighborhood for residents and businesses alike. In Wallingford the current Community Council, Chamber and Neighborhood Office have very good working relations (unlike some neighborhoods), and work together on projects which make Wallingford a great community for everyone. Could it be because our own Number Six is VP of the Community Council , and Head Cheese is President of the Chamber ? Perhaps, but I like to think it is because Wallingford is just a great neighborhood. Whatever the case, spend some time in Wallingford, and you'll find an area that's almost like Mayberry RFD, where people know each other and businesses and residents join together to make a more interactive, fun community.

Stephanie Miller

According to Google Analytics we  a lot of people search for the term Stephanie Miller, and we do come up in these rankings, but not high eough to have much impact. Thus we want everyone to know that we have met Stephanie Miller a couple of times, and we do have Stephanie's picture in our photo gallery. And here is Stephanie with our PeaceFlag

For all you Air America fans, here's Mike Malloy with our Peaceflag, and here's Rachael Maddow, and Sam Sedar, and Ron Reagan We do have some pictures of Thom Hartman also, but those have yet to be posted. So if you where searching for Stephanie Miller, you've ended up at a business that she supports, as she has agreed to do a radio ad for us.

The word of the day - STIMULUS as in we need a stimuls package

Help keep our little store in business by providing us with a little stimulus. Remember every little bit helps without YOU, we are in dange of going out of business. So if you like what we do, and how we contribute to the Wallingford neighborhood, please patronize us and provide a little stimulus. Even if we don't manage to stay in business come write things in our guest book, as it will provide us stimulus as we sleep in our car :-(. Also remember that stimulus to us is stimulus to the neighborhood, as we spend a lot of our money with other local businesses.

 NO MATTER WHAT, REMEMBER TO SHOP AND SUPPORT YOUR SMALL LOCAL BUSINESSES, this is some of the best stimulus that can happen at this difficult juncture in time. Thanks for your support!

WE NEED YOUR HELP

The word for the day is stimulus package. We need YOU to provide us with a stimulus package of your own. LOTS of small purchases help us stay in business! We know times are tough for many people, but remember if we all stop spending it only perpetuates the problem.  What we sell is not physically critical for survival, but we do provide humor and laughter that will help get us through tough times. So please come in, and help us to continue to support the Wallingford community. Thanks for all your past support, and we look forward to seeing you when you come in.

So come in with your own stimulus. Thanks!
