Special From The Bob Bitchin Store For Xmas!

🏖️🎄 THERE’S SAND IN MY STOCKING! 🎄🏖️

Who says Christmas has to be cold, snowy, and involve wrestling with a parka?

Trade the snow boots for flip-flops and celebrate the holidays with a little sunshine, sand, and questionable stocking stuffers!

Send your friends and family a little tropical holiday happiness with these colorful There's Sand in My Stocking!Christmas cards. They're perfect for beach lovers, snowbirds, sun worshippers, and anyone who thinks a white Christmas sounds suspiciously cold.

THE FESTIVE DETAILS:

Full-color printing on the back

Blank inside, so you can write your own holiday greetings, beach puns, or excuses for skipping the snow

Convenient 4.25" x 5.5" size

Smooth matte finish

Includes matching white envelopes

Choose your holiday haul:

8-card pack

16-card pack

24-card pack

Because one sandy Christmas greeting is nice, but 24 is a whole beach party!

ORDER BY DECEMBER 1 to receive your cards in time to mail them out!

Don't let your holiday greetings get caught in a snowstorm. Send a little sunshine instead!

Words Of Wisdom: Old sailors never die, they just get a little dinghy

In Memory - Sailors gone too soon...

NNo man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clodbewasNo man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clodbewashed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as any manner ofthyfriends or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind.

And therefore, never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
