The Power of the Gobbler

November 25th, 2009

The Gobbler has reappeared on some random heads. What we have discovered, quite by accident, is that placing the Gobbler on one’s head stimulates thankfulness, and thankful thoughts.

Laura-in-Gobbler

When Laura placed the Gobbler on, she said she was thankful for being thin! She’s been working hard at it, so that makes total sense.

Mel-in-Gobbler

Melina, put the Gobbler on and big smiles suddenly took over her face and she joyously proclaimed how happy she was to be a new momma!

Koa-loving-the-Gobbler

Koa, Melina’s baby, had quite a shocking response when we put the Gobbler on him. He said he was thankful for “the boob.” Yep, those were his exact words. Well, you can’t blame him, he’s only a month old and breastfeeding is the highlight of his day.

What are you thankful for? If you are stuck, I know just what you need to do. Get a Gobbler Hat, stick it on your head and WHAM! BAM! You’ll be overrun with thankfulness. Your list will go on and on. Once you start being thankful, your brain becomes more aware of other things you can be thankful for.

Then what happens? You feel lighter, you smile, and everything looks, feels, and gets better.

Gobbler Sightings

November 20th, 2009
It's that time of year again!

It's that time of year again!

The countdown to Thanksgiving has become. Out comes my Gobbler hat – one of my very favorite hats! It gets everyone in the mood, feeling festive and thankful. For the next 6 days, Gobbler will be out and about and I’ll be trying to capture his antics on film for you.

 

 

 

 

He’ll appear on random heads – like my dog’s.

Ro-in-the-Gobbler

In various places – like trying to get behind the wheel of the Mini.

And in just plain, weird, scenes. Who knew the Gobbler was such a squash lover.

Wouldn't he make a great centerpiece?

Wouldn't he make a great centerpiece?

I had to pull him off our pumpkin.

Gobbler-on-Butternut

Then I turned around and there he was, perched on top of my butternut squash.

The Gobbler is perfect for oh, so many settings, situations, and events, as you will see. It’s not just for wearing on the top of your head.

You’ll just have to stay tuned to see where Gobbler is sighted next. Or, you can get your own and see for yourself what I’m talking about.

Gobble Gobble

November 6th, 2008

Gobble, gobble, gobble. Turkeys all over the country are plumping up, getting ready for their big day. That yearly event where family and friends gather to gobble up a big old feast, watch football, play football, and have a day off work is almost here. Are you ready? I don’t mean with the food preparations! I mean, are you ready to make it fun?

I’ve started my own little Thanksgiving tradition. For the last three years I welcome Thanksgiving by wearing my turkey hat. I get all sorts of looks as I traipse around with this goofy bird perched on my head – my dog thinks it’s a stuffed toy for him and I have to stay alert, with eyes open, or he will take my bird and run off with it. All that hard work is totally worth it though, because this is my funnest, craziest hat of all. I look forward to this time of year, when I get to plop that turkey on my head and walk proudly about in public!

I ran across another fantastic turkey hat as well. This one is the naked, headless version and just brings back memories of that Friends episode where Monica a turkey has a turkey on her head. I love it (the episode and the hat)!


If you are a big old football, loving fool. If your Thanksgiving plans revolve around cheering on your favorite college team in front of the TV, there’s a special turkey hat just for you. Buy Costumes has the perfect companion for you. You’ll be totally into the holiday spirit and the game.

Wearing some fun holiday headpiece makes for great laughs and a day you just won’t forget. Not much for wearing a turkey on your head? Then how about something more traditional? Slip on a pilgrim hat or an Indian headpiece.

Do you have a play or event with school or church? Halloween Express has great pilgrim and Indian costumes for both kids and adults. Both Buy Costumes and Halloween Express even have pieces galore – from shoe buckles, to wigs, to moccasins – so you can put your own costume together. Wear a full Thanksgiving costume this year and see how much more memorable the day will be.

Now, if you are an all-out, over-the-top, Turkey Day fanatic, you could always go with the full turkey costume.

Buy Costumes has this fairly inexpensive version. If you are the cook for the day, I wouldn’t recommend this one.
Now check out this deluxe one over at Halloween Express. Now I love to dress up, and I think this costume is awfully cool looking, but . . . . $500?! I’d have to REALLY love Thanksgiving to do that —- or be a school mascot! Somebody out there must have been just that sort of person, because they are sold out! Even the one for $1300 is sold out!

I’ll just eat my pumpkin pie (the best part of Thanksgiving) and wear my snuggly turkey hat, keeping a watchful eye out for my turkey-hat-snatching-dog, of course.

Don’t forget Thanksgiving

November 13th, 2006

So I was walking down the street a couple of days ago . . . and this is just less than two weeks since Halloween . . . and what do I see decorating store windows?? Pilgrims, turkeys, indians? No! It’s all Christmas — it’s Santa, it’s snowflakes, it’s snowmen, elves, and brightly wrapped gifts! What happened to Turkey Day?? I mean, isn’t that a pretty major holiday? It is for me — I get two whole days off work, that makes it major. (Not to mention all of it’s glorious roots as far as the founding of our country goes and of course the FOOD!)

We get all worked up for Halloween – most of us dawned a costume, went to a party, or maybe even dressed up at work. Are we really ready to jump straight to Christmas? Not me. Why not have some fun and celebrate every holiday — especially at this time of year. I’m going simple yet high on the fun scale. I’ve got my Gobbler hat already to go — can’t wait to see the looks of people on the street, those at work, and the relatives when they see my Thanksgiving spirit with my turkey perched atop my head!
