Rock Idol Dreams


Guitar & Amp Pillowcases

Do you dream of being a Rock-n-Roll legend?  If you are looking for a gift for a true-rocker or a wanna-be rocker, then these Guitar & Amp Pillowcases from What on Earth will have them dreaming of playing with Rock gods.  If you have a rock star inside you then I know that you have been waiting for today and the release of the movie The Rocker.  If you love comedies and 80's hair bands then you will want to go and see this failed musician get a second chance. 

Heavy Metal, Glam Rock, or Hair Bands whatever you call it there were some bands from the 80's that like totally rocked the decade and are still rocking fans today, like the following: KISS, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, and Guns-n-Roses.  

So break out your tightest stonewashed jeans, and rock band t-shirt and embrace your inner rock star!  ROCK ON!

Retro Geek Gear


LED Headlamp

Do you need a gift for a hardcore geek?  Then this LED 3rd Eye Headlamp will make a great gift for a wide range of geeks! From the computer technician geek to the gearhead geek this handy little gadget will make their jobs easier, well at least easier to see.  

This little gadget reminds me of one of the best movies from the 80's, Sixteen Candles. Farmer Ted's geekier friends,  Bryce and Cliff seemed to always be sporting some kind of headgear. You gotta love any movie where the geek prevails in the end, and remember if you have $70.00 and a pair of panties you'll be safe as a kitten!

Kiss Merchandise


Kiss Drink Glass Set

Kiss fanatics are a unique group of people.  You see, I know a few of them.  The are extremly passionate about the music and the band members.  What's their names? Oh yeah, Gene Simmons, the one who thinks he's god's gift to women, Paul Stanley, who's, well nobody really knows what he is, and....and.  Wow, I can't remember the two other guys.  Maybe that is because there was about seven or eight other guys that made up the other two guys in the band!  In any case, Kiss fans are about as out there as Gene Simmons is today.  Still painting their faces and hosting Kiss parties to watch the season finale of Gene Simmons reality show.  I'm not joking!

So if you know one of  "those" people, you just might want to check out  Retro Factory who carries these Kiss Collector's Series Pint Glasses. They have all kinds of gift ideas any rock band fanatic would find cool!

Say I Love You With 80's Style!


Cardboard iPod Boom Box

It always seems that everything that was once in style always seems to have a come back .  I remember everyone having a boom box that they would take wherever they went.  This cardboard fold-it-yourself boom box with real working speakers is compatible with an Mp3 player or iPod. I am so amped about this bombdigity boom box, so I can play all my favorite jams in retro-style.  This cardboard boom box is the perfect way to say I love you with 80's-flare, just like John Cusack did  in "Say Anything", standing in the drive way, with the boom box raised over your head and "In Your Eyes" blaring!  That's wicked!
