Miyuki Seed Beads
Miyuki Seed Beads


It seems inconceivable that we could add even one more beads to our amazing stock of beads at The Beadcage. However, we have defied the laws of efficiency and come up with a way to add over 800 new products to our store. Most stores do not even have 800 products, but we are actually adding this amount to the thousands already at The Beadcage. We brought in about 3000 packages of seed beads. Eight hundred new colors and styles of Miyuki Delica seed beads are out and waiting for you to purchase.

When you shop at The Beadcage on line or in person, we want it to be worth you while. That is why we are adding more products all the time. With the addition of more Delica seed beads it is even better to shop at The Beadcage. We know we cannot possibly stock and have on hand every product you are searching for all the time, but we sure are trying. The beads are out and we are working hard to reorder what has already sold out to make sure we have what you want on hand when you need it. Our selection of Miyuki and Toho seed beads is by all standards amazing. We have probably one of the largest selections of seed beads you will find anywhere. In addition, we carry a great variety of good quality Chinese seed beads and other Japanese seed beads.

You will be amazed at the selection of seed beads at the store. Other than the Delica seed beads, most are packaged in “Tic-Tac” boxes with the flip tops. These clear plastic containers are the preferred choice of professional beaders. Out selection and packaging makes The Beadcage the clear choice for for those using seed beads.

Seed beads are available for purchase on line and at The Beadcage right now.

Silly Bandz Crazy Bands

Yes! We have them. This relatively new craze is heating up and we have been carrying these rubber bands for some time now. These are the rubber bands that come in all shapes and maintain their shapes no matter how much they are stretched.

I just don’t get it because I am old, but kids understand this immediately. They have to have them. They collect them and they trade them.


We have a large collection at a great price. Many too choose from in stock everyday. Make a child or young adult happy for very little money. This is something that is hard to do in this day and age.

Crazerasers Collectible Puzzle Erasers

Crazerasers


Another one of those crazy collectibles kids just have to have. When I was a child it was Now and Laters and baseball cards and Wacky Packs. Now they collect puzzle erasers. Yes, tiny puzzles made of eraser material. The most popular are the crudest, like the toilet bowl collection.

This craze started in Japan and the original are a product of Japan that comes in Japanese packaging. We carry a brand that has many more choices and are value priced. Children are attracted to these like moths to light. They instantly understand the concept and have to have these. The collections change constantly and kids love to find rare erasers.

The Beadcage has a large stock of these in great new and retired packages.

Is gift wrapping as a service going the way of the bread cutters in grocery stores?

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

Yes I could have used other analogies but this was the first to come to mind.

Having gift wrapping is such a rarity that most people don’t even think of asking anymore. When I was a child, all the stores wrapped gifts, for free! Then as time went on there were charges for wrapping, but you could always get a free box with tissue paper. Now it is rare to even see gift wrapping anywhere.

Since we opened we have always provided free gift wrapping on all of your purchases. No other place in our town offers this same service. It is a funny phenomena that when someone gets a store wrapped gift in our town, they have a good idea it is coming from The Beadcage. It seems like such a small thing, but it really is a great service we have been providing for years.

Believe it or not, gift wrapping is a costly service to provide to customers. We had no idea how costly until we started looking at the numbers. Just having a space to hold the wrapping material and do the wrapping takes up valuable selling space. There is a great deal of training that goes into teaching how to do a nice gift wrap. Then there is the time involved and employee costs that go into wrapping each gift as nicely as we do. There seems to be a cost factor behind all the stores dropping this as a free service.

Nevertheless it seems like The Beadcage is the last hold out relic still providing free gift wrapping for our customers. In fact, we have not been able to figure out if people are coming to us because of this service. If they are, then we are grateful. If they are not coming to us because of this and we offer this to them, I know they are grateful too.
