Haus Warming
One-jillion of you took our polls (thank you!), and it turns out the thing you wanted most was a house site. And so we present:
It’s our shopping site for nesters. We’re focused on designs that solve problems for you, and mundane objects made beautiful.
Also, the new site has a couple of new features available here and on and Mighty Junior as well. First, you can now sort objects by price! You’ll find the much-requested View by Price link under the “Looking for a Gift?” header in the left column. Second, we’ve added Kirtsy this buttons to our posts and articles, for ease of Kirtsy-ing.
We hope the new site is as fun to read as it is to write. Thanks for reading, everyone. We like you.
