The Almost-Store
This is an "almost-store" in that the stuff is not really here at all (no bricks and mortar either), but rather there are links to where almost-stuff may be acquired.
Almost-stuff makes the almost-perfect present for almost-any occasion (you just need to add wrapping paper). The items are relatively inexpensive, and yet they are distinctive and memorable.
Types of almost-stuff available:
1. The Almost Dictionary: A humorous reference book.
2. Information Gone Almost-Wild: A humorous Information Age manifesto.
3. Shirts and Mugs: Shirts and Mugs with sayings on them.
