STUFF TO BUY OTHER PEOPLE FOR CHRISTMAS:

Will SMASH be having a mega-door-buster sale this Friday? No. But we will, as always, have stuff that is WAAAAAAAY better than stuff you will find in any store that has a mega-door-buster sale this Friday. Shop in the store or online.

	It's Pronounced deh moyn, Not dez moynz: $18 in store and online For the geographically un-inclined, this shirt helps out those who don't realize that in French, the S is silent, no matter how hard Des Plaines, Illinois tries to convince people otherwise.
	Made In China: $18 in store and online Many of you will not only notice your income tax checks going directly to the Bank of China (cut out the middle man), but that most of the stuff you buy this season will come from our Eastern Overlords. Well, not SMASH! Almost all of our shirts are made in the US, and all our shirts are made sweatshop free.
	Slang Flash Cards: $15 *in store only* Did grandma look confused last year when you asked her why she was "all up in yo' grille"? Well, fear not, with the SLANG FLASH CARDS, any of your un-streetwise relatives or friends can bone up on the young folk talk of present day. Now your Grandma can get in the game, and tell you "stop straight trippin' and finish mo-futtin' Turkey leg".
	Test Shirts: $25 *in store only* These shirts are 100% one of a kind, and can only be bought in the store. Covered with test prints from in store work or custom jobs, this is probably the only shirt that could have the Kum N Go logo mingling with the Blazing Saddle logo mingling with "Don't Meth With Iowa" mingling with a Breast Cancer Awareness Month pink ribbon. Buy one if you can handle it!
	Asphalt Hoodie: $59 in store and online 100% made in the US, super comfortable, and with a layer of fabric sewn into the hood, the SMASH hoodie is the best looking way to not freeze to death this year.
	Gift Boxes: FREE *in store only* SMASH finally has gift boxes! It's almost like it's taken 3 years to turn into a real clothing store! If you're buying a gift in the store, be sure to ask for a box, or if you've already bought a gift this year and want to come back for a box, you can do that too. Or if you wasted your money at Hollister and want to add a little value to the present, just put that Hollister shirt in a SMASH GIFT BOX.

SMASH NEWS MAGAZINE VOLUME 2:
THE REDEMPTION!

This past spring, SMASH looked around and saw that the journalism industry was struggling to make money. We said to ourselves: "Let's get into that business too!"

So, we released SMASH NEWS MAGAZINE this past spring, and upwards of 15 people read its hard-hitting contents from cover to cover. If you missed that issue, you're in luck, since we've just released our second issue available in the store.

SMASH NEWS MAG GOES STATE-WIDE!

We noticed that not everyone in Iowa is fortunate enough to live near SMASH, so we've started distributing SMASH NEWS MAGAZINE state-wide (kind of).

You can now pick up a copy in Decorah (Fancy Pants), Cedar Falls (Mohair Pear and Cup of Joe), Cedar Rapids (Brewed Awakenings), Iowa City (the downtown Java House and Capanna), Pella (Smokey Row), Grinnell (Grinnell Coffee Co), Ames (Cafe Diem, Stomping Grounds), Sioux City (Meet Virginia), Ottumwa (Big Apple Bagles), and West Des Moines (Blond Genius).

The next time you're near one of those places, drop by and tell them how smart they are for carrying SMASH NEWS MAGAZINE!
