Bill Conger will be racing through the Andes Mountains on a motorcycle. This is a 9,000 km (~5,600 miles) race across South America known as Dakar.

His supporters have setup an online store on Flying Cart called BC2DAKAR. You can buy some really cool t-shirts and stickers.

You can check out the official Dakar Website here.

One of the coolest and simplistic online t-shirt stores I have ever seen. Checkout some of their stuff:

7075rc – specializes in Redcat X series cars

Wednesday, July 13th, 2011

My favorite stores on Flying Cart are the ones that sell products you can never find on Amazon or Walmart. They are super specialized. Which is why I got a big smile when I saw the 7075rc online store. They sell parts that they manufacturer for the Redcat X series. The Redcat is a remote controlled car.

I also really like how they also ask their visitors to join their fan club to be involved in their stores decisions.

The best thing about birthday parties is the cake. If you don’t have cake at your birthday party, don’t invite me. My twitter buddy Nick Paradise designed this amazing cupcake store. I love the icons and the logo.

The cupcake creations are truly unique as well. I’ve never seen such imagination on the top of a cake.

One of the hardest things to do online is judge size. Splendour Jewelery Boutique does an amazing job setting my size expectations in a really simple way by putting a scale right next to their images.

Grandma Thunderpants. How are you so cool?

It could be your funny and witty writing style:

“Everything is handmade and calorie free, unlike everything a real Grandmother cooks for you!” – on their about page

“I’m a 22 year old girl named Didgey who just likes to make cute treats to wear.” – also on their about page

It could also be because you feed my obsession with you by being active on all forms of social media.

Tumblr, YouTube, Facebook, and most importantly DeviantART.

But it probably is because every single one of your products is sooo unique and fun.

Easter Egg Hunt on Honeybee Memories

Thursday, April 21st, 2011

Image of Easter Eggs

A few days ago Melissa called us up and said “I want to do an Easter Egg Hunt on My Online Store for my most loyal fans”. We said “cool!” We worked together for about 20 minutes and embedded pictures of easter eggs all around her store (in different pages and products).

She launched the hunt on her blog and store. 16 Easter eggs are hidden throughout her store.

My favorite thing about Honeybee is their Facebook page pictures. It is so lively and fun!
