Toys for the Geek

It actually surprised me that it was my husband who introduced me to Think Geek. The site is geek haven and sells all cool stuff that only geeks would appreciate :) When I had some extra cash for online shopping, DH actually requested for Dan, the warning stickman:

Our Dan isn’t home. He lives in DH’s office, on the cubicle table. He’s such a cute little fellow, Dan is :)

The site isn’t about just toys; there are among other things apparel, gadgets and office items too. I go Think Geek when I want my eyes to feast on the geeky items. I will highlight some other items another time.

Herro Hachi

Aug

 

I have a cousin who was born here, raised in HK and now lives in BC. They left Manila when she was a toddler and last I saw her was less than ten years ago. Thanks to Facebook, we somehow got reconnected. When she announced she’d leave her 9-5 job to pursue her dream, I did not realize how dedicated she is about that passion. She started designing tees and opened a store in Etsy. At first she did personalized designs which she later offered to other clients. I even had a design, or at least a statement to put on a shirt but we never got around to push it because things got busy during the holidays last year. Here is my beautiful cousin, Kym:

And then just before July ended, she launched her very own Herro Hachi website and already have clients in BC & other parts of the world. This is a testament of how dreams can drive a person to pursue it. Here’s one of the designs she created:

To see her other products and to know more about the brand, visit the website and say hi to Kym! :)
