Let it snow!

Anyone remember this day back in February last year? Took me forever to dig my car out. My car is in the middle...I think. I woke up this morning hoping to see the same thing thinking I'd get to stay home from work and catch up on episodes of The Office and maybe sneak in a little Price Is Right. Which by the way hasn't been as good since Bob Barker left. Sadly I didn't get to stay home. Which means I'm here at work. Which means we're open for business!! So stop in and say hi. Or if you need an ice scraper. Or both.

Alright, for all you potential non-MacBook winners, tomorrow is our big annual Skidmore Shop Holiday Sale. You can come in and spin the Wheel of Discount for a chance to get up to 50% off of your purchase. We've got some freebees to throw out at you and we're giving away $25.00 AmEx cards at Noon, 2PM and 4PM. So in a way..everyone is a winner. But let's be honest, one person is gonna be freaking psyched they won a MacBook...and that person could you.

We've got a great selection of holiday books for you to browse through as well as buy one get one free sweatshirts. If you are still looking for that perfect holiday gift, now is the time. We've got plenty of great gift ideas in the store.

We also have the limited edition Skidmore Peppermint Pigs in stock. Hurry because they are almost gone.

The Skidmore Shop will be open from 10AM to 6PM tomorrow.

P.S. wearing your ugly holiday sweater in the store sure would make things cheery tomorrow. Just sayin.

The Biggest Winner in the History of Skidmore

That may be a gross exaggeration, but we do have a winner! The Skidmore Shop's Halloween candy-jar-guessing-game-o-rama (not the official title, but it does have a ring to it) is over, and it was a close one! The official count was 448 pieces of candy, and the closest you seasoned professional estimators came was 437. Incidentally, two of you guessed that number, but only one of you claimed the title of Best Quantity Guesser in category of Seasonal Confections. And, I'm sure you all saw this coming, Katherine Garcia is our winner! Way to go, Katherine! I was betting on you all along. Now Bob Carlton owes me nachos.

Everybody have a happy and safe Halloween from your friends at the Skidmore Shop!

Halloween stories and spiders at The Skidmore Shop





The Greenberg Childcare kids stopped in at The Skidmore Shop to hear Samantha and Shawn tell a scary Halloween story and make pipe cleaner spiders. Possibly the best pipe cleaner spiders I've ever seen.

Monday, October 27, 2008

All of this could be yours!

It's raffle time at the Skidmore Shop, which is perfect for those of you freaking out because you don't know what to put under your best friend's Halloween tree. From now (presuming "now" is before Halloween) until 3:30pm on October 31, 2008, the Skidmore Shop will holding a contest for your guessing pleasure at the cash register. You will see a pumpkin-shaped jar full of the stuff dentists love and it's your job to guess just how many items that jar contains. The winner receives not only that jar of sugary goodness, but a TWENTY DOLLAR GIFT COUPON towards any of our trade books. The trade books are the ones that aren't text books. You know, the stuff you want to read. You can't win unless you enter, so get to gettin'!

Even if you don't win, now is the perfect time to pick up a groovy ghoul or a funky Frankenstein (see what I did there? Alliteration!) to jazz up your dorm room or give to your trick-or-treating partner. All Halloween gift items are 25% off! This excludes items that are already on clearance, candy, and books. We're all fighting over the fluffy green dude hanging out by the MYSTERY CANDY JAR so you'd better act fast! He is cool.

Stay sweet, Skidmore.

Most students, staff, and faculty at Skidmore have taken note of The Skidmore Shop's candy selection. Whether your searching for a post-class pick-me-up or just need a breath freshener after a basket of hot wings at the Spa, we do our best to keep you covered. But let's say, for instance, you go looking for Chocolate Necco Wafers. Something inside you is screaming "Give me a chalky chocolate disc! Give me mysterious white powder on my fingers!" You wish you could stay on campus and still find confectionary satisfaction. Well, there's hope.

Did you know that the kinds of candy we stock are completely controlled by you? Trust me, while there are some of us at the Shop who could easily scarf down a box of Good 'n Plenty, there are also those of us who are bewildered by black licorice and don't understand the merits of a salty, almost numbing candy. We have it because you want it. So next time you feel dissatisfied with what we're offering you, speak up. Granted, just because you want Garfield's Choco-Bites doesn't mean we'll get them, but you won't know until you ask! I was going to use the idiom about the squeaky wheel and the grease, but something about greasy wheels kills my appetite.

Your precious ginger ale is here

So we were lurking around the internet recently and came across a message board that mentioned that the good people of Skidmore College wanted ginger ale. Well we at The Skidmore Shop have responded and we now have ginger ale. We even got the good stuff. Schweppes. Yeah, we ain't messing around over here. Okay..maybe just a little.

Online textbook buyer vs college bookstore buyer

So I was ummm......"researching" some information online when I stumbled across these YouTube videos about buying your textbooks online vs buying from the college bookstore. They're fun to watch and informative.  They were created by some students over at the University of Missouri. You can find the rest of the series on YouTube and searching "I don't hate the bookstore" or you can click here.

Groundhog Day is coming soon!

I know for most of you this day passes as a total non-event but for me it is the first of many rituals heralding the return of Spring. It doesn't matter if Phil sees his shadow or not ... Spring is coming! So, with that in mind, make sure you check us out at the Shop on Friday, 2/1/08.
