TONS O' NEW STUFF!

This week Archie McPhee welcomes an assortment of new items sure to make your inner inventor start scheming feverishly. Whose mind wouldn’t run wild with ideas upon seeing things like the left wing of a toy airplane, a toy steering wheel with a horn that makes 4 different noises, training wheels, glass magnifying lenses, rainbow magnetic sheets, metal ice cream scoops, magnetic chip clips, blindingly neon ivy league caps, and tiny [but very study!] poster tubes? If only Rube Goldberg were here to feast his eyes upon our bounty.

TOMBSTONE CUPS, SPONGEBOB AND TOAST NOTES!

Welcome to Archie McPhee, the land of new stuff for you to see, touch, experience, and buy! New in stock this week are delightfully morbid tombstone shaped cups complete with black flexi-straws. Perfect for those over the hill parties or goth picnics. We have a wonderfully detailed assortment of small Spongebob Squarepants figures. Choose your favorite character or collect them all! Have you ever been sitting at breakfast and when a brilliant idea or important task springs to mind, but you’ve got no way to jot it down before you’ve forgotten it forever? Well suffer no longer thanks to Toast Notes! Now, beside your breakfast platter, keep an attractive piece of plastic toast with a post-it-note butter pat in the center. Too cool! And finally, for those of you with green thumbs, spruce up your potted plants with attractive pink flamingoes or garden gnomes on little metal spikes that enable them to stand up in the soil. Archie McPhee, making the ordinary extraordinary for 25 years and counting.

BAGUETTES, VINTAGE CLOWNS AND DOG HOUSES!

Some say our merchandise sounds too good to be true. Well, seeing is believing at Archie McPhee and this week we have even more new items for you to come over and check out. Have you ever missed out on a delicious baguette because you simply didn’t have a bag that was long enough? Well guess what, now you can go to your favorite bakery with your head held high and buy all the baguettes you want without worrying about them getting damaged or going stale thanks to our handy dandy Stay Fresh Baguette Bags. They’re made of durable canvas with plastic lining, draw strings and two sets of snaps along the length of the bag so you can shorten it to accommodate the length of the baguette OR the size of your appetite. Bon appetit!

After you’ve dealt with you baguette situation it’s time to take issue with those drab naked walls. We’ve got an assortment of vintage clown prints from 1965 with faces that even a mother might have trouble loving. Scared of clowns? We know how you feel. These colorful frowning and grinning mugs will either push you right over the edge or perhaps help you face your coulrophbia once and for all.

Last but not least we have little doghouses with motion detectors. Pass in front of the detector and the doghouse will immediately start to bark and shake violently. They’re perfect for protecting your otherwise vulnerable dishes of candy or loose change.

Can you believe it’s already June? That means the spectacular Archie McPhee Sidewalk Sale is only one month away! Mark your calendars. On Sunday July 13th there will be deals aplenty so clean out your cars because the more space you have, the more amazing stuff you’ll get to take away. It’s a freakout!

NEW STUFF!

There’s always something new at Archie McPhee! We’ve got snakeskin bowler wrist braces so that you can bowl with control AND style! We also now have sippin’ bowls! Enhance your breakfast experience with a bowl that lets you sip the milk from a built-in straw instead of tipping the bowl and spilling the milk all over your finery. Speaking of finery, we’ve got a lovely selection of bowties in stock. And while you’re checking out the bowties, you should also take a look at our custom made wrist cuffs and swanky switch plate covers! It’s a veritable wonderland of flare over here!

NEW STORE HOURS ON SUNDAYS

Beginning in May, the Sunday hours for the store will be 11 am - 6 pm.

NEW STUFF!

If you haven’t been to Archie’s lately there are some new items that you are missing out on. We now have an amazing selection of tiny Japanese food erasers that are so highly detailed and pleasing to the eye, it would break your heart to actually use them. As if that weren’t enough, we’re also selling collectible sets of miniatures. From the tiniest of desserts and meals to sets of personal accessories and party supplies, these MUST be seen in person to be truly appreciated. The level of detail on these sets makes the erasers seem primitive, and that’s saying something. Come check them out! Who wouldn’t want a complete lobster or sushi dinner the size of their thumb or a Thumbelina-size birthday party complete with cake, presents, and balloons?

CLICK!

Recently Steve had a customer who told him about a rather unusual discovery she recently made quite inadvertently. It seems she was in bed one evening watching a dvd. At some point she decided to use her dvd player’s remote control to advance the movie when something very unexpected happened. Her dvd player remote activated her remote controlled hopping yodelling lederhosen. Needless to say this was very unexpected and it wasn’t a fluke. Apparently her dvd remote consistently activates her lederhosen. And it isn’t even shaped like a knockwurst! Isn’t that cheating somehow?

PUBLIC APPEARANCES

WHIPPED CREAM AND OTHER DELIGHTS

Lately we’ve been playing lots of Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass at the store and the customers are really getting into it. Each time we put on the tape people can be seen bopping around the store and some even come up to the counter to ask if it is indeed Herb Alpert because they’ve not heard him for so long. After finding out that it is, they invariably break into stories about how much they like him or, even more often, how much their parents liked him. So we’re having some nice moments with customers reminiscing fondly about good times and good music.
