Holiday Shopping Deals at the McSweeney’s Store

 

PLEASE NOTE: Free shipping over $200 only applies to orders within the domestic U.S.!

Dear Reader:

Imagine a utopia of online commerce, where all of your shopping needs were satisfied in one fell swoop. I know it’s scary to let your mind wander into a state of such stress-free merriment—in the middle of a workweek no less—but do it! We’re turning the McSweeney’s store into one big miracle-making machine so you can live your holiday dreams! Some of these really special deals are call-in-only (415.642.5609). Some of them are already on the McSweeney’s Store!

1. On offer at the McSweeney’s Store, for the holiday season, is:
Any purchase of $200* or more—we will hand wrap in our office and ship accordingly! We’ll even include a card with words of your choice. This does require, however, you to call in. On the plus side, you are empowered to think of any McSweeney’s employees as your personal shoppers. WITH FREE SHIPPING. We will charge you over the phone for your books, talk to you gently as we ask you how your day is going, and shipping fees will not enter the conversation at all.

2. As part of our efforts to have the most successful crowd funding campaign in the history of the world, get a combo-subscription (to the Believer and the Quarterly), and a free 15th anniversary tote bag!

3. The Best of McSweeney’s compendium of the best writing from fifteen years of the beloved McSweeney’s Quarterly, plus a subscription to the periodical itself, for the mind-blowing price of $80! Or $100 for the Deluxe edition of The Best of McSweeney’s. Call in and we’ll make it happen!
