This Valentine's Day, get your lover a nice card.



Remember last Valentine’s Day? The card you bought your lover was probably an after-thought.

You were in Target getting kitty litter and you remembered you needed to get a card. Any card. So you wandered over to the card section, remembered that your lover liked politics and history, so you grabbed some card with Barack Obama or George W. Bush on it. And it was okay.

But is “okay” really good enough for your lover? Of course it isn’t. This Valentine’s Day, get your lover a nice card. From Whiggy Tease.

Oh, sure, we have nice cards with Barack Obama, if that’s what you want. We have cards with him and Michelle that read on the inside “You’ll always be my First Lady.” Now, that’s a nice card. Very romantic.

Perhaps you can get a card like that at Target. But can you get a “You’ll always be my First Lady” card at Target featuring the Reagans? How about the Washingtons? Lincolns? Eisenhowers?
How about Grover and Frances Cleveland? Warren and Florence Harding? James K. and Sarah Polk? The Nixons?
Well, you can get cards like that, not at Target but at “My Whiggy Valentine.”

It stuns us how romantic this card is.



But wait, there’s more.

We have cards with different insides, featuring this PDA couple…



… and this lady… … and this guy… But wait, there’s even more. What if you need a card for your mistress?


Whiggy Tease can take care of that too. We also have other cards for other Valentine’s desires, but we’re not going to go into that just now.


So, when you’re in Target, concentrate on the needs of your cat. But when you’re thinking about ways to please your politically-minded lover on Valentine’s Day, come to Whiggy Tease.

So, which card are you going to get your lover?

The Whiggy Tease Junior Players present our second YouTube commercial.

Children love Christmas, and they love James K. Polk – our eleventh President. The Whiggy Tease Junior Players know this as well, and that’s why they filmed this commercial for the You Tube.




There are three different versions of this spot, including one that breaks out into a dance party.
Find them all on the You Tube, or perhaps we’ll get around to posting all three.

The Polk ornament, plus ornaments for the rest of the Presidents plus some other folks of historical importance, is available at this link.

Happy Shopping, and Merry Christmas.

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.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.


This picture really needs no caption. It certainly doesn’t even need an entire Infoblog post. But it will get one nonetheless.

Even though your pumpkin from Halloween has yet to completely rot, it is time for you to put up your Christmas tree. To be clear, it is time to put up your Christmas tree if you have received your Whiggy Tease Presidential Christmas Ornaments.

Look at this precious little girl. She loved her pumpkin. But she loves Christmas. And she loves President James K. Polk. When the two are combined, it’s even more magical. This doesn’t mean she loves her pumpkin any less. Not at all.

If you’ve ordered your Christmas ornament in the last week or so, you should be receiving your order any day now. And yes, that means the Whiggy Tease customer who ordered TWELVE Ronald Reagan ornaments – you’ll be getting your order soon.

But how about you? Have you ordered your ornaments yet? If not, get cracking. Shop now. There’s a sale going on through tomorrow. Click here to begin your shopping experience.
As for those of you who have your ornaments… what are you waiting for? Put up your Christmas tree right now.

The Manifest Destiny of Whiggy Tease? More Polk swag!


We here at Whiggy Tease want to give you, our beloved customers, what you want. We also want to give you what your children want. Turns out, your kids want James K. Polk swag.

Who knew?

Not us, at least not right away. But we know now.

How popular was our initial line of James K. Polk stuff? So popular that there are kids who are planning on wearing their Polk stuff on the first day of kindergarten. This is very much true. It’s the most important day of their young life, and they want to dress in Whiggy Tease’s Polk clothing.

This Polk line is money. Well, actually the newly expanded James K. Polk line is money…

Yes, James K. Polk has his own dollar coin this year. We love the gold dollar coins with the Presidents, your kids love James K. Polk – this is clearly a match made in heaven. Visit the Polk store for all the new items. Here’s just a small sample of what you’ll find there:

The Polk baby one-piece…

The Polk yellow shirt…

Now, what if your kid has one of the old Polk shirts and you think it would be silly to get him or her another one?

Well, you can get your kid a Polk button…

Or, imagine this. Your kid has a birthday party coming up, and you’re not sure what to put in the goody bag. Well, the Polk button comes in packs of 10 or even 100. Send all the kids home with Polk buttons.

Your kid will be learning to tell time soon, right? Or maybe he already knows to tell time. Well, he needs a clock…

Yes, James K. Polk can teach your child how to tell time. We bet he can do it in just one term.

But wait, there’s more.
That’s right. It’s the James K. Polk Dollar Coin Christmas Tree Ornament.
Operators are standing by.

The Napoleon of the South vs. Sarah Palin

Prior to the launch of Whiggy Tease, we assumed the most popular item in our store would be one of the Sarah Palin products. It appeals to right-wing Republicans and shoe fetishists. We figured this one item would be the one that would make us rich.

Now, while the Palin swag is selling, you know which politician is outselling her?



That’s right. James K. Polk.

We also have this smaller design available in the James K. Polk store.



Why is the Polk stuff so popular? We’re certain it has to be due to They Might Be Giants and their song about our 11th President. You’ve heard it before if you’ve ever listened to NPR on Presidents Day.
