There are times when you need a serious gift, and we have you covered First, check out our list of books just perfect for the microwave engineer in your life. You can order them from the handy Amazon links embedded in the list, or you may be able to have your local book store order them for you.
Update for September 2022! For the more discriminating gift-giver, we have set up a Microwaves101 gift shop over on RedBubble. That site will print your logo (or rather, our logo) on pretty much anything you want. We're starting small, with a version of our classic "Fite Microwave Stupidity" mug, and a new, "tall" version. It comes in your choice of colors, so long as you choose white mug with red text.
The pricing will vary a bit depending on which mug you get, how many you order, and whatever sales RedBubble might be running, but the mugs generally run around US $15 to $18. You'll have to pay shipping, too, unless you order a whole bunch of things (which we encourage you to do!)
If all that's too much for you, we also offer a two-pack of Microwaves 101 stickers for a mere US $2.00 or so. Shown here on a classic grey insulated bottle (NOT included), you can obviously feel free to put the stickers anywhere you like. Perhaps the best place to put them is on your company laptop.
Need the logo on something else, like a shower curtain or baby clothes or notebook? Drop us a line, we'll see what we can do.
Gifts that say "I hate you"
So far, we have a perfect record on this gift. No one has ever ordered one... and that's fine with us!
Does your office have a lame "grab bag" where you have to bring in a <$15 gift? Don't know what to get, now that Mr. T lunchboxes have become "collectible?" We have the perfect gift, it's called the WoodMonster, and it comes ready to assemble from P-N Designs! It's this year's must-have gift, so order now before we run out of forests to supply the raw materials for this gem!
The WoodMonster in its natural habitat...
The WoodMonster has everything you want in a joke gift. It literally looks like you made it yourself, but we'll send a receipt so you can prove you didn't. It comes with instructions for assembly, yet no one will ever assemble it. If someone follows the directions they will lose a finger or burn down the house. When you are done laughing at its pitifulness, use it for kindling under your Yule Log!
It's "fun for boys and girls of all ages", so you can give it to your boss's twelve year old kid. It won't be your fault if he ends up in "Juvey!"
No two WoodMonsters are the same, they are made from recycled building products such as cut-up pallets, and may already have been painted or have nails in them. These fine WoodMonster kits have not been outsourced to Pakistan, but to keep costs low all artwork is done by underage workers for extremely low pay!
Below are the Genuine WoodMonster instructions which will be included with your purchase. We will also include information on the "Legend of the WoodMonster", which we won't print here (we don't want to give away the entire gag here, do we?)
The sooner you place your order, the sooner you'll get the stuff!
