To Love or Not to Love: Valentine’s Day

Valentine's Day infographic

 

With Valentine’s Day on the minds of many today, there is a definite rift between those who are all about the love, and those who could care less about the holiday.

Take my visit to the local Trader Joe’s during lunchtime today, where I saw about six men crowded in the flower section, examining bouquets. With love in the air today, how could they not visit the corner full of beautiful blooms?

Or do you feel the urge to burn through all the flowers, chocolates, balloons and hearts galore today with lasers shooting from your eyes?

Well, you’re not the only one – but you don’t share the sentiments of most people for this holiday. According to the CafePress Cultural Barometer®, which tracked the sales of Valentine’s Day gear off of CafePress.com over the last four years, love reigns supreme in the minds (and hearts) of our users. Observe our infographic: since 2008, pro-Valentine’s Day products have outsold anti-Valentine’s Day gear, 75% to 25%.

So what say you on this dreamy 14th day of February? Are you a lover or a fighter?

Go Loco For Coco! $10* Conan T-Shirt Flash Sale

Team Coco t-shirtOnce upon a time, there was an extremely tall, slightly awkward, ginger-haired comedian who loved to make people laugh on his late night talk show.

Yes, you probably guessed I was talking about Conan O’Brien. Tall, red-haired men are few and far between.

But what you may not know is that Conan has a CafePress shop – and yes, the Team Coco shop is just as great as you’d expect – designs featuring the Ginja Ninja, Dancing Taco and Mr. O’Brien’s pretty mug plastered all over the place. If you have a design in mind, create one yourself at the Team Coco Fan Portal (and remember to take a gander at the design rules, too).

Plus for today and tomorrow only, we’re having a Conan Flash Sale! Snag two styles from the Team Coco collection for only $10*. Make sure to get yours before the time runs out – literally. We’re timing you with a countdown clock. (Just think of it as Conan yelling absurdities at you while holding a stopwatch as you’re trying to run your fastest lap around the track.) He may give you extra points if you’re wearing his Team Coco t-shirt while crossing the finish line.

So snatch up your $10* Team Coco t-shirt before this sale ends tomorrow! And we’re positive he’ll keep those belly laughs a’coming. Are YOU on Team Coco?
