Well, I wouldn’t call Santa Mail a stupid idea, I’d call it a stolen one. Many, many companies have been doing this for years before this guy was even born. I got them every year when I was little (mid 70’s). Inserts in the newspapers or ladies’ magazines and catalogs sold them for $1 each back then. Fully personalized.

Haha Doggles! That’s great.

I have a friend’s dad who invented the baseball (well 1/2 baseball) that looks like it’s going through a windshield. It’s basically a sticker. Last I heard Target was interested in it, but not sure if it’s making millions yet.
