Would anyone be interested in any of these? I have some "free" time later this week and could design them.

There's not much room on the License plate frame, other than maybe a slogan like "It's about time there's some support for Cushing's" at the top and the website on the bottom. I would find room for an image of the ribbon pin, too.

The cost for a License plate frame would be 10.99 plus shipping, and the bumper sticker, 3.99 plus shipping.

These would be available from the Cushie Store

Cushing's ribbon magnets, like those for troop support, would be something that I'd have to order personally, so I'd need to know that there was a bit of interest! The approximate cost for these, in 2 colors (yellow and blue) would be: If I order lots of 250, $2.75 each (plus s/h), 500 @ $2.50, 750 @ $2.10, 1000 @ $2.00. Please let me know asap, so I can get these started.

This site also makes the Wristbands which they say is better quality than Silicone rubber, but I'd have to call them for a price quote.

If there is any interest, a yellow Messenger Bag, BBQ Apron, Boxer Shorts, Camisole, Classic Thong (not for me!), Dog T-Shirt, Greeting Cards (6), Hooded Sweatshirt, Infant Creeper, Pillow, Toddler T-Shirt, Women's Raglan, and Yellow T-Shirt may be added. If you're interested in any of these with Cushing's logos on them, please let me know!

Definately interested in the magnetic ribbons for your car, I would personally order about 10 of those as well I would order about 10 of the wrist bands.

Thanks Mary, let us know if you get them.

Hugs,

Hi Mary,

I would definitely be interested in purchasing some bracelets (at least five) and also a couple of magnet ribbons.

Thanks for all that you do,

[mars72]

I would also be intrested in buying some of the wristbands and magnets. I'm not sure yet how many, but I am intrested in at least two of each.

Thanks MaryO for looking into these for us. <hugs>

Count me in for the magnetic ribbon thingys!!

[Xuzuthor]

I'd like a couple wristbands.

[radtravler]

I would love the wrist bands and car magnets. (probably 5 of each to start)
I have a couple of the white Cushie Survivor and support Tshirts, but would love a different one - yellow or blue would be great - and BIG sizes !! (thanks)

What about key chains - any of those on the list ?

Thanks, Denise

[MaryO]

Denise, there are yellow T-shirts coming, with a different back than the older shirts. One is already up, the Cushing's Survivor model.

Yellow T-shirt link. This goes up to size 2X-large 50-52".


Front


Back

I hope to have some of the other titles up soon - Cushing's Expert, Support Staff etc up later this week.

Are there any phrases you'd like to see on the front? For next April, I plan to do a Cushing's Awareness Day shirt.

No keychains...yet, though.

People interested in the bracelets - I'm ordering 60 medium (7 3/8") yellow silicone bands, 40 medium blue, and 60 large (8 3/8") yellow. These all will say CUSHING'S HELP & SUPPORT.

These are are made from 100% silicone, and are stronger and longer lasting than rubber bracelets. Reminderbandâ„¢ works closely with the production facility to guarantee that quality is consistent in all sizes and colors. To ensure that we are producing the highest quality silicone bracelets on the market, the Reminderbandâ„¢ team conducts ongoing production tests and research. Rest assured, Reminderbandâ„¢ is second to none.

If all 140 of these get sent out, I'll order more...and you can let me know what phrase you'd like to see on them. There is a limit to the number of characters, though.

The cost, when I order 140 at a time, is $3.00 each, plus whatever it turns out to cost me to send them out. In the future, if I place a larger order, they will be cheaper. In the future, I could also order children's sizes (in groups of 20) which would be 5 7/8" if there is any interest.

The estimated shipping date to me is Friday June 10th.

[MaryO]

I'm not sure what the shipping costs will be yet. Does anyone have one of these that they could weigh and tell me how many ounces each is? Thanks!

"Support Cushing's Awareness" is just a little too long. They say that we can have up to 24 characters only, but it looks like the apostrophe in Cushing's doesn't count as a character. BUT, for an extra dollar each, we could get a second phrase.

For the future, if there are people interested in other colors, these are available, but I'd have to get the lots of 20 still:

BRIGHT RED	CARDINAL RED
PINK	YELLOW
ORANGE	NAVY BLUE
ROYAL BLUE	LIGHT BLUE
FOREST GREEN	GREEN
PURPLE	BLACK
WHITE	GLOW IN THE DARK
SILVER	GOLD
MAROON	RED, WHITE & BLUE

***Glow in the dark debossing (the text) is harder to see.

I weighed a Livestrong bracelet on my postal scale and it weighs 0.2 oz

[Shauna]

If you're looking for phrases I think we could come up with some good ones.

Off the top of my head I can think of:
Tenacity
Knowledge is Power
Support
Friendship
Survivor

I'm sure there are more creative people than me. I'm lame at this stuff.

So 5 of them together only weigh an ounce? That's really lightweight.

I was planning on sending them priority mail, but the flat rate for that is $3.85 for the first pound. So someone could order 80 of these things for one shipping rate.

Hi Mary,

Thanks so much for taking the time and putting out the money for the bracelets. Let us know where to send the check and how much for each one...I am guessing $5.00/ band? I am looking forward to sporting them around town. If you are still taking suggestions for what they should say, I think they could just say CUSH on them or Support Cushing's Awareness....Just a thought.

:-) Cheers,
Jaimie

What is the usual cost for these kinds of bands? I'm completely clueless about this! Maybe I should do a poll!

[bunnieb]

Put me down for 5 magnets and 5 bracelets, and THANK YOU for coming up with a T Shirt that is not white I have wanted one but did not want to look like the Pillsbury Dough Boy, I cant wait to get one.

The back of the t-shirts is the logo for the Cushing's Help.com site (similar to this one) and the CUSH.org site, the toll-free number and copyright info:


I could send up to a pound by Global Priority Mail - Flat-rate Envelope (Small) annd it would get there in 4 - 6 Days. That would be $4.00 US
