The Mount Rushmore of Christmas sales.



Avoid “Black Friday” at the big box stores like you would avoid The Black Death of 1348. Stay at home, watch football and eat delicious turkey sandwiches.

What about Christmas shopping? You can do it all right now, on-line, at Whiggy Tease. And like those silly big boxes, we are having insane sales to lure you in. In fact, you could call this next 48 Hour Sale the Mount Rushmore of Christmas sales.

We’re honoring the four Presidents on Mount Rushmore with a big sale on their Christmas tree ornaments. We’re all but giving the ornaments away. You’d be a fool – a damn fool – not to buy these ornaments today.

Thomas Jefferson…

Teddy Roosevelt…

and of course, Abraham Lincoln…


But wait, there’s more.

That’s right, we’re also honoring a President who SHOULD be on Mount Rushmore, but isn’t. Yet…

Yes, we’ve reduced the price of our James K. Polk ornament, but only for the next 48 hours.

WHAT? What’s so great about James K. Polk? Are you mad?

Listen up. In four short years, he accomplished every goal. He seized the whole southwest from Mexico. Made sure the tariffs fell, and made the English sell the Oregon territory. He built an independent treasury! Having done all this, he sought no second term. But precious few have mourned the passing of Mr. James K. Polk, our eleventh president.

Of course, people will celebrate President Polk by purchasing his ornament and displaying it proudly on their Christmas tree. And when President Barack Obama issues a declaration mandating Polk’s inclusion on Mount Rushmore. Just you wait.

This sale must end Sunday.

While we don't quite get the History Channel's "World War II in HD," we are celebrating it.



Whiggy Tease may not be rolling out new products this week, because we are very excited and distracted by the History Channel’s weeklong series, “World War II in HD.” We don’t quite get how the History Channel got footage of this epic struggle in high definition, but we assume it involved time travel. We here at Whiggy Tease love time travel.

We also love selling you swag, so here are some World War II era items you may want to order during the commercials.


Whiggy Tease has tons of Winston Churchill stuff to sell you. There’s our series of Churchill coasters, which is not one, not two, nor three, but four coasters large.

While British voters booted Churchill soon after WWII, they later came to their senses and put him back in. Churchill’s 1951 comeback campaign posters featured this logo…



… meaning, that was it. No words, no text, nothing. Just this logo. That’s all his campaign staff needed. It is, to us, the Coolest Campaign Logo Ever, so we celebrate it with t-shirts and a whole ton of other swag. It’s all available in the Winston Churchill store.

Please note that all aprons are NEW AND IMPROVED. They’re thicker, fancier, and come in three colors.

And of course, there are Christmas ornaments. We have ornaments for all the U.S. Presidents, so we of course have ornaments for the WWII Presidents, Franklin Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman. You can also buy your Dwight D. Eisenhower ornament as well.

But don’t think for a second that we stopped making ornaments when we ran out of Presidents. No sir. We have one for Churchill, and there’s a new one for Charles de Gaulle.

Buy now. Get your Christmas shopping out of the way.
