misosouper, a shopping blog

Yeah, you want to be one; but with papers fluttering all over your office, you don’t even have room to crack your whip.  That’s sad.  I’m here to help you get your shit together in the new year.

This week, misosouper and Knock Knock are gifting one lucky winner with an entire set of their task clips–48 in all.  These bright, shiny Utility, Timing, Importance, and Poopy butterfly doohickeys will, in Knock Knock’s words, let you “appear more productive than you actually are” and “look good without getting much done.”  (I swear, it’s as if Knock Knock’s creative department burrowed deep into my brain, sucked out the marrow, and plagiarized the mantras of my life.  Oprah I’m not. {Even though I love you Oprah, and if you called me, I’d be on the next plane to your show.  We could give away Knock Knock clips like you gave away cars:  one for you, and for you…})

To win, leave a comment on this post, explaining which Knock Knock gift you’d most like to give, to whom you’d give it, and why.  (No space/word/character limits this time.  It’s a free for all!)  And these better be funny, people, considering you’re writing about a company that sells products like the “Things You Do That Piss Me Off” notepad, the “Sex Report Card” magnet, the “How To Traumatize Your Children” manual, and the Choose Your Religion Wheel O’ Wisdom.

And you better not Paper Voodoo doll me to win this thing, either.  Chances are I’m cursing my disheveled desk, staring longingly at my patent whip, and weeping over the fact that I’ll never be on Oprah, paper voodooing you right back.

the fine print:

And he probably writes your name, address, and other vital statistics–if you know what I mean–in this little book.

Sadly, the boutique Indie Fixx–which is like the lovingly curated Frick Collection next to Etsy’s sprawling Met–is in the process of closing up shop. Their parting gift to us is 10-50% off all merchandise (no coupon necessary), with all orders receiving a sweet Chocolate Bon Bon soap. Here’s what I would–will–buy:  favorite prints from Jess Gonacha and Wolfie and the Sneak, letterpressed cards, and some treats to stash in the closet for future holidays.

I love Ez; she adores beautiful stuff, she makes beautiful stuff, and she offers it up to us on a daily basis.  Plus, she turned thirty a couple of weeks before I will, so that makes her my (ever so slightly) older, wiser birthday buddy.

Like me, Ez loves the free; her lovely downloadable paperie is full of objects like labels, library cards, and notebooks, including this sentimental bird card that I’m sending straight to my mama.

Today is your last chance to enter our giveaway for six sweet and snarky wine gift tags, courtesy of our friends at popptags.  All we need from you is to sign up for misosouper’s RSS feed, then leave a comment here noting that you’ve subscribed.  (If you’re already a subscriber, just leave a note to that effect.)  The contest closes at 11:59 pm EST.

And that’s what we’re all about at misosouper:  encouraging you to encourage others to drink more wine this holiday season.  Cheers!
