This year’s Pride celebration in Minneapolis was so full of happiness, the joy and love was wonderful and to be a part of it was special and I will keep the smiles of the couples in my heart for a long long time.

We had a great booth set up this year a perfect mini Fantasy Gifts and since we didn’t do the parade this year we handed out tons of stuff at the booth, Rainbow bracelets that said I heart Fantasy Gifts, lube samples from Uber lube, WET and Swiss Navy, Condoms from Screaming O and candy lollipops for the kids. One of the only times parents let their kids take candy from a stranger.  The staff was at their best and having fun while representing Fantasy Gifts and I couldn’t be more proud of all the hard work put in to make the weekend a success.  One of the new items we debuted at the booth was harness underwear from RodeoH it was a hit and has been sent out to the Minneapolis, Crystal and St. Paul stores.  We have work with the company to provide drop ship items because there are so many styles and sizes, and special order information will soon be available at all of the stores.

The rope seminar in June went well too and as soon as everyone is back form summer vacations we will be organizing fall and winter ones, we have great feedback from the attendees and look forward to providing many new opportunities for you to learn new things. 

We have spent a lot of time organizing the stores and warehouse and we have found all sorts of fun stuff including some leather pieces from Spartacus, these had been packed away and forgotten but we have cleaned them all up marked them waaay down and re-packaged all of it. Harnesses, cuffs, collars and even a swing so many items!  It is so low priced folks were giddy at Pride when we brought some out. We have it online and in the St. Paul, Fridley, Burnsville and Coon Rapids stores. It was difficult to display so two employees and I won’t name them wore morph suits and we did a photo shoot to show how they are worn. That was a different day here at the office.

In a few days two of the buyers will be heading to Las Angeles for a show and I can’t wait to see what new items they find. I have asked them to look into companies that we can set up even more items for drop shipping of our website. With so many items available it is impossible to carry everything we or you want in the stores and this will be a way to provide even better service to you.
