Tenacious Toys Top 10 Customer Reward Packs for 2017

After every new year at Tenacious Toys, we look back at our sales for the previous year and tabulate our top 10 customers for that year. We always put together some kind of reward for them - a free gift to say "thank you" for supporting our little shop over the course of the year.

Loyalty is SUPREMELY important to us, professionally and personally, so we go the extra mile for our top supporters. As a tiny business, having repeat customers who come back to us time and again is literally vital to the success of our shop.

This year (for 2017), we were able to plan ahead a little bit and put together an absolutely RIGHTEOUS package for our Top 10 Customers. Each of our Top 10 will receive a custom scarf, a set of prints, a ton of stickers, a handful of pins and buttons, and assorted other awesome pieces of swag.

Hobbes Sculpture by Rich Page of UME Toys

This was a commissioned piece sculpted by Rich Page, a UK artist aka UME Toys. You can't have this one, because it's got an owner already, but you can hit Rich up here to commission your own. Calvin & Hobbes is near and dear to my heart, as my father read it to me on Sunday mornings when I was a kid. An adorable 3D rendition of a beloved character which will forever live deep in my subconscious, child brain.  Nice work, Rich.
