Have you seen the new coffee mugs?

People have been delighted, just absolutely delighted with the first Whiggy Tease coffee mugs.

While people really enjoyed the mugs with W and Condi, Nicolas Sarkozy, Bubba and LBJ, they went insane for the Barack Obama mug, pictured here…



So, if you liked your first serving, you’re really going to like a refill. Yes, we can freshen that up for you, hon, with another round of Whiggy Tease coffee mugs.

Let’s start overseas with Tony Blair…



Next, let’s go with America’s favorite Accidental President, Gerald Ford. What Republican, no check that, what American wouldn't enjoy coffee and toast with President Ford?

The other side of this mug shows the White House press corps just giddy with excitement over Ford's toasting skills. You'll want to buy four of these. At least.

Now, Whiggy Tease doesn’t have enough Kennedy stuff in our store. We admit that. We’ve hired an artist to work on that. Until then, why don’t you enjoy a nice cup of coffee with Jack and Bobby?



Or, perhaps you also enjoy coffee with President Harry S. Truman and his good friend Averell Harriman?


Finally, we get back to jolly old England with Gordon Brown. Here he is at a local Starbucks, pestering Blair about when he finally gets to be Prime Minister.




Now, start shopping! Click here and scroll down. Don’t just buy mugs for yourself, because that would be selfish and hateful. You need to buy Whiggy Tease mugs for everyone on your Christmas list.
There’s free shipping through Sunday, you know, with coupon code LASTSHIP.
Hey, while you're at it, you might want to get some coasters...

Ladies and gentlemen, please rise for the Supreme Coasters.

We here at Whiggy Tease reckon that when most attorneys gaze upon themselves in the mirror, they see a future U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice looking back at them. It’s probably the same for judges and the majority of law professors.

We assume this phenomenon is even more likely to occur when alcohol is involved.

Having said all that, what do you get your favorite attorney, judge or law professor for Christmas or an upcoming birthday? Or perhaps as a graduation gift? Is there something Whiggy Tease could do for you?

Oh yes there is.

You may approach, and you may start buying the well-focus grouped Supreme Coasters. We have lovely tile coasters of all seventeen – or eighteen, depending on how you view history – Supreme Court Chief Justices in American history.

Listen to this red hot rhetoric from our vendor: Liven up any room or party with our fun, hip tile coasters, measuring 4.25” x 4.25” and 1/6-inch thick. Images are applied with a polyester resin that accepts dye as part of the coating. Four felt pads protect your furniture from scratches. Dishwasher safe. Not for use with abrasive cups and mugs.

You probably shouldn’t be using abrasive cups and mugs, anyway.

We designed these with beer in mind, but Attorney Mike A. had this suggestion: "If you've ever wanted to apply steaming hot liquids to the face of your least favorite jurist, here is your chance!"

So there you go. Buy them because you have a Chief Justice you love, or buy them for those you hate. Either way, your money is good with us.

There have been seventeen men who wanted to be Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. Then there was William Cushing. He had no interest in the job, but President George Washington appointed him to Chief Justice… or tried to appoint him.

Cushing turned him down. While he liked being on the Supreme Court, he didn’t want the Top Job. Some folks feel Cushing was actually Chief for three days before he realized it or got around to quitting. Others feel since he never accepted, he was never really Chief.

It’s a great topic to discuss over beer with your law buddies. See how this works?

Fight back in the War on Baby's First Christmas!


There is a war going on in America. It’s a War on Christmas. To be more specific, it’s a War on Baby’s First Christmas.

The War isn’t against every baby, however.

If your baby is 0-3 months, he’s fine. 3-6 months is okay too, as is 6-9 months.

You see, you can find “Baby’s First Christmas” clothes for a baby this size.

But what if your baby is getting all geared up for Christmas, and he or she was born in late December, January, February or March? Try to get this kid a shirt that says “Baby’s First Christmas.” You’d be out of luck, and so would your kid, as the big stores – Corporate America, if you will – sell no such thing.

Worse yet, what if back in January, you gave birth and your baby is a bit of a Bubba? Perhaps he’ll be wearing 18 month clothing by Christmas.

Trust us, there is nothing… NOTHING for this kid to wear.

That is, until Whiggy Tease decided to declare war on the War on Baby’s First Christmas.

The Concerned Big Sisters and Cousins of America got together and designed a special line of Baby’s First Christmas clothing. It’s big enough for your 9-12 month baby, even if he’s a Bubba.
Please note we did not give the children Diet Coke, an adult left the drink on the table to take this photo. Really.
The line is also available in little baby sizes as well. You see, unilke Corporate America, we love ALL babies here at Whiggy Tease.
Start shopping. It’s all available in our Christmas department, along with the Presidential Christmas ornaments.

Reasons to Save the Earth on Black Friday.




The dynamic duo of two ladies named Betsy and Denise make up the Whiggy Tease Street Team. They’re also part of Street Team, and they’re working on the Internship Program. But today, we’d like to celebrate their role on the R & D team.

These gals came up with the idea for the “Save the Earth” theme. There’s swag with “Save the Earth, it’s the only planet with chocolate.” There are versions celebrating bacon and beer as well.
Honestly, we never thought these items would sell. But that’s why we have an R & D team. You see, not only have these items sold, they’ve sold big, and they’ve sold well in Europe. Well, the chocolate version and the beer version have sold well across the pond. We reckon they don’t eat bacon in Europe, but we really don’t know and aren’t inclined to look into it.

They also make excellent birthday gifts.



The point is, the Save the Earth theme is hot. So, we’re going to celebrate Black Friday by having a Save the Earth sale.


Until recently, the Save the Earth swag consisted of t-shirts. Now, there’s more. A lot more.



Tons more.
What are you waiting for? Go to the Save the Earth department right now and shop. Shop! SHOP!

Forget Black Friday. Start shopping on Whiggy Wednesday!

You have a choice.

You can get up early on Friday, the day after you stuffed yourself with turkey, and get out in the cold and fight crowds covered with flu germs and probably head lice in some God forsaken Wal-Mart or Best Buy and try to get your hands on cheap plastic crap.

Or, you can stay in the comfort of your own home, or your in-laws, and relax, stay warm, sit down at a computer and buy some great Whiggy Tease stuff. It's Whiggy Wednesday, and like the Big Boxes, we’re putting our most popular stuff on sale.

That’s right.



All of the Christmas ornaments are on deep discount. Our Accountant is going to kill us when she gets back from her in-laws. Deep discount on every single ornament. This sale must end Sunday.

But wait, there’s more.

Not only do we have every President and a few foreign leaders, we’ve added a new ornament…

Bo the First Dog. Yes, the first dog has an "official portrait." It's true.
Stay in your house and get your shopping done right now. Black Friday in public is for chumps.

Conservatives vs. Liberals at Christmas.



The Accountant dropped by this morning unexpectedly, and unwelcomingly if we must be honest. “Have you boys looked at the Christmas ornament sales?” she hissed.

Of course we have. The sales are great.

“Look at the cross-tabs,” she said.”

And there was the discrepancy. Of all the Presidential Christmas ornaments we’ve sold, over 76% of the sales have been of Republican/conservative Presidents (and Prime Ministers), while less than 24% have been of liberals.

Do conservatives really love Christmas that much more than liberals?

Or, are conservatives just early Christmas shoppers? Because they have more money?

Regardless of your political affiliation, or the political affiliation of those on your shopping list, it’s time to start shopping. Click here to buy some ornaments, or here to browse around the entire store.

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.
