Even More Food Face Love!

‎Posted August 12, 2010 in Giveaway, Publicity. Tagged with .

Our friends over at the Los Angeles Times have posted a great article on our Food Face and I have to say the author gave me the ingenious idea of using a set of these plates for my next grown-up dinner. They're the optimal size to keep portions reasonable, will liven up any dull conversation, and are perfect for those finicky friends who move okra to the side of their plate to make it look like they ate more. (Don't think I didn't notice!) Meanwhile, back on the East Coast, our friend Taryn at Littlewhirl is hosting a contest to win our new Ms Food Face (plus a couple more goodies). Entering is a cinch. So go forth, do as she instructs, and win thee free Fred stuff! [caption id="attachment_967" align="aligncenter" width="450" caption="Littlewhirl's little girl"][/caption]

One step through the Fred office door and you'll realize there isn't an ounce of pretension to be found. We're all down to earth, insaaaaaaaanely funny people, who don't take themselves too seriously. MoMA products: 2 carat cup half pint spilt milk bowl dust bunny

Moms Are People Too

‎Posted April 30, 2010 in Behind The Scenes, Publicity. Tagged with .

We polled some of the office Moms here at Fred and asked them two questions: If you could have anything in the world for Mother's Day, what would it be? What if you could have anything in the Fred catalog? Dee: "I'd have the kids clean my entire house. INCLUDING THE LAUNDRY. And I'd like the Weinstein please." Annie: "I'd spend the day with my family. Fred product? I like Unzipped… for sugar or Splenda®." Mmmm…Splendaaaa. Joann: "I just want to know my kids are happy and healthy. I'd also like Unzipped. My sister-in-law has one on her desk filled with M&Ms." I'd like to meet your sister-in-law. Melissa: "A vacation…Without kids! [instant rim shot] Which Fred product do I like? Those TeaCupCakes are SO cute! And the Calf&Half.  I also love the 2-Carat Cup…I'll take the 2-Carat Cup." Orange Whip? Orange Whip? Three Orange Whips. Paula: "A massage. And Oh Snap! I love to cook. You know I've been meaning to pick that up." Well Paula, I happen to know where you can get one! And there you have it! Straight from the source.
