October Notes

The new website is up and running and I couldn’t be more thrilled, Sarah and Domina built an amazing site which shows off the best of Fantasy Gifts Minnesota, with this blog, location pages and being able to highlight the in store items on our home page and yet have the ability to offer thousands of items  that we are unable to carry in our stores we have the best of both worlds!!!

The site also has links to our zillions of social media pages, yes I indulged in a bit of exaggeration there but we do have a Facebook page for each store in addition to the link to umbrella Fantasy Gifts Facebook page, then there are the individual Yelp, Google+ pages the Pinterest, Instagram and Twitter pages for Fantasy Gifts and the Great Northern Sexcast ( our Podcast)  It takes three of us to try and keep up with all of them!!!

Our Video streaming service  https://vod.fantasygiftsmn.com/dispatcher/frontDoor?theaterId=77479&genreId=101&locale=en and the Podcast have links and I am working on the information pages but honestly Planned Parenthood and other have such a wonderful amount of updated information that going to their pages is highly recommended. https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn  

In the warehouse right now the folks are going thru the smooshed order from Sportsheets, its like someone dropped another pallet on top of the ones we got. Swiss Navy lubricants too a couple of days to price and get out and a whole bunch of dildos are out to the store too in the past week or so.  I sometimes fantasize about a target sized store with every item from all of our best suppliers and small boutique areas for the specialty vendors, I would have the most fun designing that! We could have 3000 square feet of just lubricants!! and the book section would gorgeous but it’s not practical in today’s retail environment which is why we have a website partner to have huge online store.  Im rather fond of this item from Sportsheets  http://www.fantasygiftsmn.com/product/CNVELD-SS771-02/sportsheets-rose-crystal-crop-black

The Halloween accessories are out int he stores, we like almost any other retailer can no longer compete with the pop up halloween stores with costumes even though ours were almost always less expensive for the same item. We do have stockings, wigs and a few items that you won’t find in the other stores so if you are going for a risque costume check us out.

Fantasy Gifts will be at Crypticon this year, the staff is busy building our pop up sales booth in the back of the warehouse right now. It’s our favorite holiday around the FG office! http://crypticonminneapolis.com/
