gifting from a virgin

Post by tinkerbelle90 » Wed Jul 23, 2008 3:28 pm

I have paid close attention to all written mat'l about Bman. The one that really got me is the gift system. I am a seamstress and i knit and crochet. I work with organics and all types of beads. I have endevered to make a part of me a gift. This makes me very happy, to devote 1 year to making works of art to gift..whooohooo

They came from the 66 cent store. Looked like they could recharge
by shaking which moves a magnet thru a coil of wire.

They're cheap and a life test on 2 showed they'ed light the LED for
30 hrs or more. Adequate for a week of BM.
:idea: :idea:
Qioting my own shwag!

These flashlights were later found to be fake.

The wires from the coil around a moving magnet were not
connected to anything. Still they were dirt cheap and seemed
to work for 30 hours or more on the 3 internal button cells.

Seen real ones for $15 to 20

Dang, they actually have 66 cents stores. I thought that was a Simpsons myth.

Ah,... I can't think of too many men I'd like to see sporting a thong, but I can only assume that if I give these away I'd see them on at least one male before it was all done with....

Gifting idea

Post by Ozzie » Fri Jan 16, 2009 4:06 pm

My bride & I are first time burners this year, and we're in a bit of a disagreement over gifting. Being a Boy Scout Leader, it makes sense that some of the things I would carry for gifting fall under the whole "Be Prepared" mindset. I have a line on a butt-load of small LED flashlights. Only hitch is, they are "mistakes;" they have a name/company name & phone number (random, each are different, rejected by the company for color, font, etc.)

Would that violate the ban on corporate logos/giveaways? How literal is that rule interpreted? I am not affiliated with the companies, just taking advantage of someone's mistake.

I think that's okay since you aren't shilling for the company, but if you're really worried, make up some fancy faux labels and slap 'em on. Instant art project.

I have made necklaces out of small keychain flashlights and have covered up the logo with a small sticker with a miniature ticket on it. I also have used images of the Man on the other side. This year, I am painting the flashlights and stenciling the shape of the BM logo on both sides.
Your creativity and can really come out as you try to cover up the corporate logo on it. Glue, rhinestones, stickers, paint---have a wild time making some very cool gifts!
