Celebrate Working From Home

With more and more people working from home these days, don't you think it's time we work-at-homers had our own product line? We do too.

WHY magazine's online store carries all sorts of products that celebrate working from home. Whether you're looking for a unique baby shower gift, a gift for your telecommuting employees or just want to wear your work-at-home heart on your sleeve, there's lots of unique items at a variety of price points to choose from, including this 160-page journal priced at $11.99.

Husband Knows Best? You Be the Judge.

So what do I get for asking my husband his thoughts on the newest design in our WHY store, "Even President Barack Obama works from home"? I get a practical answer, of course:

"I like to be able to see the entire design as I'm drinking from a mug," he said.

Uh, okay.

But if there's something I've learned in 15 years of marriage, it's that it's not that unusual (at least not as unusual as I'd like it to be) for Tommy to be right, so today we unveil a variation on our President Obama design.

Let us know what you think. Is bigger better? Is smaller more tasteful? You be the judge.

Even President Barack Obama Works from Home

The newest design in our WHY store -- "Even President Barack Obama works from home" -- pays tribute to the presidential nature of working from home. Looks like we home workers are in good company! To see this design on a variety of merchandise, including T-shirts, bags and pet products, as well as other work-at-home themes, check out our WHY store.

got mug?

This holiday season, the best-selling item in WHY's online store is a large mug that says: Every day is take your child to work day when you work at home.

To be honest, it wasn't the catchphrase that I thought would click. My money was on: Give a hoot. Don't commute. Work from home. Show's you what I know...

Earlier this year, when Lucille and I decided to put together a line of merchandise geared toward folks who work from home to complement WHY magazine, we didn't know what to expect. Would people like our stuff or even be able to find our stuff in the vast selection that is cafepress? At the very least, we wanted to make enough money to cover cafepress' monthly store charge of $6.95.

So every time I see a new purchase made in our store, I sit in my office chair stunned with a ridiculously goofy smile on my face and then zap Lucille a quick celebratory email. We're on our way to our first million, I tell her. Only $999,900 to go!
