New Gifting Protocols Breakthrough – Make a Real Difference for 2010!

Film Junk has a radical new approach for your gifting challenges. It’s not the usual generic holiday gift list. It’s a mash-up of groovy stuff that will positively impact all the “personal nodes” in your local area giftnet. It’s called the Film Junk 2010 Protocols for Gift Giving². Developed by the agile minds of our site staff, this collection takes you places you’ve never been and shows you gifts you won’t believe exist.

But the real breakthrough is our new gifting protocol (patent applied for) based on the square of giving or Giving². When you follow this protocol, it generates two gifting strategies. First, gift yourself. Makes you feel good right? This much happy without breaking any laws is unbelievable. Then gift others. By the time you’ve used this Giving² convention, the gifts for you will have re-invented your lifestyle. You’ll be almost as cool as a vampire. And the gifts for the others will finally get you noticed and maybe even liked. (No guarantees please).

So have a ball. Drop us a line on how well it works. When this goes viral, Giving² followers will get all the credit for the economic rebound of 2010.

Where the Wild Things Are Kubricks Figures
