Runs on Coffee and Cream

Tomorrow is Black Friday and Cyber Monday is in a couple of days. It's the time of year where every company has a massive sale going on - from large corporations to small, local businesses. I can't lie and say I don't shop from the large companies. Between toys, clothes for the whole family, and electronics, I have to shop from the big boys because they're affordable and have what I need for Christmas gifts. 

However, I do shop small too. Usually my own Christmas wish list has items from some local or smaller companies. I love buying handmade for friends and I usually get an item or two for Emma that's handmade. 

This week's 5 Fandom Friday is a fun one because I'm constantly looking for geek clothes, accessories, and gadgets!

Let's get to it...

1. TeeFury



I'm sure you've heard of at least one of the many websites that sells geeky t-shirt designs for a 24-hour period and then they disappear (until another site sells the same design at a future date). I've been addicted to these sites for years now and have bought some super awesome geeky mash-up shirts. TeeFury tends to be the site I buy from the most. I'm always squeeing at their designs.

2. Hallmark



A little weird, right? Not anymore! In the last couple of years they've started carrying geeky things - Itty Bittys and housewares (mugs, picture frames, etc.). And they're all SO cute! Their Star Wars merchandise and Itty Bitty line keep me coming back.

3. Teeturtle


Teeturtle is a Canadian company that makes cute geeky designs to print on t-shirts, hoodies, and socks. Their designs are super adorable and I kind of want everything on their site.

4. Look Human


I was introduced to Look Human a couple of years ago through social media. One of my twitter friends would post the cutest Sailor Moon-inspired tanks and I had to know where she got them. Look Human! They have an amazing collection for cat lovers and coffee addicts so the company has won me over. But their fandom designs are what grabbed my attention initially. I also finally got one of their Harry Potter-inspired 'Always' tanks for Christmas this year!

5. EB Games aka GameStop



My husband has a video game addiction and I also dabble in video games myself. This has me visiting an EB Games location almost weekly. I'm pretty sure our local store employees could recognize us anywhere. Slowly they've been bringing more items into the store besides video games.... Pop! Vinyl figures, board games, Nintendo Christmas ornaments, t-shirts, blind boxes. So now the store has become even more appealing to me.

What are you favourite geeky stores? I'm always looking for new places to check out!

5 Fandom Friday Info

Someone this weekend put the idea of Spring in my head... the idea of pretty, floaty dresses and cute flats... with or without tights, but definitely without a sweater during the day.

Like usual, I've fallen in love with a bunch of dresses on Mod Cloth's website. Maybe with my profit from my first show in March I can pick one up.






Hopefully the next couple of months fly by so Spring will be here soon!
