When I first saw these little guys, I just KNEW that my son was going to fall in love with them. I was right! What kid doesn’t love to accessorize and personalize their stuff?! I was recently introduced to PakNaks, a mom-owned business specializing in decorative accessories for backpacks, lunch bags, headbands, luggage, Back packs. These cooler than cool babies come in a big selection. There is something for everyone. Where you can place these is endless! Backpacks, lunch boxes, notebooks, your bedroom door, bike helmets, around your bed, style up your dresser…. Make Curtains with 3-D embellishments and more!

From the site: “Our Naks are 3D, rubbery, interchangeable and are super easy to attach to surfaces (with no work or hassle for mom and dad).  We knew self-adhesive, flexible, weatherproof designs were crucial to making Naks work. In the early days, we experienced what we now know many startups go through – one day we were plotting certain world conquest, the next we wondered what on earth we were thinking. There’s tons of places you could put one, the only thing they’re not recommended for use on is leather, suede and painted surfaces. PakNaks are patent pending and there are over thirty designs currently available including animals, flowers, nature, sports, and more. Each PakNak has a different name and comes with a trading card telling you about the design.

“PakNak ®™ LLC is a mom-owned business based in Portland, Oregon, that sells decorative accessories for carrying bags.

A man is walking home  alone late one foggy Halloween night,when behind him he hears:

BUMP…

BUMP…

BUMP…

Walking faster, he looks back and through the fog he makes out the image of an upright casket banging its way down the middle of the street toward him.

BUMP…

BUMP…

BUMP…

Terrified, the man begins to run toward his home, the casket bouncing quickly behind him.

FASTER…

FASTER..

BUMP…

BUMP…

BUMP……

He runs up to his door, fumbles with his keys, opens the door, rushes in, slams and locks the door behind him. However, the casket crashes through his door, with the lid of the casket clapping.

clappity-BUMP…

clappity-BUMP….

clappity-BUMP…

on his heels, as the terrified man runs. Rushing upstairs to the bathroom, he locks himself in. His heart is pounding; his head is reeling; his breath is coming in sobbing gasps. With a loud CRASH the casket breaks down the door.

Bumping and clapping toward him.

The man screams and reaches for something, anything, but all he can find is a bottle of cough syrup! Desperate, he throws the cough syrup at the casket…

and,

(wait for it!!)

The coffin stops
