BEST ONLINE SHOPPING SITE TEAMS WITH BEST ONLINE SHOPPING CATALOG
In what’s being described as ‘a marriage made in heaven,’ GiftGeek, the online shopping mall operated by SumTotal Communications was wedded over the weekend to ThinkGeek.com, the online catalog store for unique and unusual gadgets, electronics, toys, apparel, and computer accessories.
“This is a perfect match,” says David Mulder, Director of Corporate Communications for GiftGeek. “ThinkGeek is without a doubt the most interesting and creative online catalog out there. Their unusual mix of high-tech and kitsch sets them apart from even the most diverse Internet shopping mall, and their peculiar sensibility, humor, and overall Hipness runs throughout their entire line of merchandise.”
Exemplified by products that range from Star Trek Interactive Tribbles to their Homemade Peanut Butter Factory, with everything from collapsible chopsticks to Astronaut Ice Cream in between, ThinkGeek is Nerd Nirvana with just a touch of Sharper Image thrown in for good measure.
“Even their product descriptions are entertaining,” says Mulder, speaking specifically of their robotic alarm clock which jumps off your nightstand while making random noises, racing around your bedroom and forcing you to get up and ‘hunt the little bugger down and turn it off.’
“We couldn’t be more excited,” said Alan Forray, President of SumTotal Communications, parent of GiftGeek. “These guys are smart as Hell, and their catalog of unique gifts and gadgets is truly special. We look forward to a long and prosperous association with ThinkGeek, that is, assuming they don’t teleport out of here before Christmas.”
