New Blog Template!

May 26th. Got a new blog template that I envision to be the be-all and end-all of blog design, but there will be a gradual phasing in of links and whatnot. I could have done all this offline and popped it in when perfected, but I already accidentally burned that bridge (long story) It will be quite cool when done, but of course that will exceed my attention span several times over, so bear with me.

Obligatory links to our novelty store

The Restless Mouse Company is a mom & pop dealer of retail and wholesale novelties and pop culture artifacts. See us at ThatRestlessMouse.com and our new reseller's site; NoveltyTradingPost.com

The lost dog?



Our supplier is very secretive about where he gets the Retro Magnetic Scotty Dog sets - I try to keep them in stock, but there seems to be an insatiable demand for this sort of little retro toy. So many have been sold over so many years, I wonder how many orphaned scotty dogs are stuck inside heating ducts, in drawers, slightly below ground in the yard, under car seats in wrecking yards, where have I forgotten to look? No matter, we have them at $2.99 a set and call that retail.

What gives?

I was looking at the search logs for last week, seems someone searched for “wholesale novelty company” right here, and got no results! This post will correct that- just click on the “golden handtruck” above!

And for those using sort of generic terms looking for our retail division, buy direct, shop the “golden shopping cart” above for that! I’m talking to you, mister “weird novelty gifts”, “gag playing cards”, “desk toys”, “giant desk toys”….

We are going to have “review posts” here for everything, but I found that I had too many irons in the fire, so guess I better get to my blacksmithing job… There’s nothing worse than an angry blacksmithing “team leader” (sarcastic poke at a major local factory I moonlight at).

Oh no, You will NOT bring that thing in my house…

Wind-up mouse with tail-whipping actionThe thing that creeps me out about this life-size wind-up mouse toy is the way the tail moves as it goes. The one we took for product testing drives the dog NUTS. It kind of creeps people out, my mom’s dog doesn’t get one because it gives her the willies (Mom, not the dog).

The windup mouse toy comes in white, gray, black, or brown fur, you can request your desired color(s) in the comments field when you order, most folks don’t really care, in that case we will send whatever is top of the box. Just $2.29 ea.

Carded with a bullseye on the back, a really fun office toy. These chuckers and flingers are all $3.99 Others are getting $5.99 for them!! That’s excessive. Add to Cart

… So the plan is to post items as blog posts and use these tags and categories to help you find them. It will be amazingly annoying and frustrating. But all good things start out like that.
