ToiBocks makes another mainstream gift list

Hello All!

So excited that celebrity blogger Joshua Estrin loved the ToiBocks so much he added it to his Valentine’s Day gift list! Just because it vibrates doesn’t mean its dirty – A Valentines Day gift guide

ToiBocks is making it’s way through the mainstream world with as much success as it has garnered in the adult novelty and smoke shop markets. We were recently at the Atlanta, LA and NY gift shows with much success.

Although ToiBocks is a completely mainstream product, it is most unique in the adult novelty industry as there are no other products designed to keep private items discreetly on your nightstand where you can have easy access to them and your kids (or others) do not!

So, thanks for all your support! Would love for you to take a moment and read Joshua’s piece linked above and perhaps share it with your friends!

New Virus Warning!! UPS undeliverable package

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , — dawn @ 4:13 pm

Well it’s a day that ends in Y and therefore there’s a new virus circulating the web.

I get my emails on my Blackberry first and I read this one fairly quickly, which is why it *almost* got me.

The return address was tracking@ups, which seems legit – then the nuances appear
- it’s addressed “Hello” and if UPS really needed me, they’d know my name.
- it says “you may pick up your parcel at our post office” and UPS doesn’t call themselves a post office.
- the tracking number it used was only a set of numbers and UPS uses letters in their tracking numbers too.

It claimed a “shipping label” was attached that I needed to bring with me.

All in all it was a pretty crappy spoof attempt, but to someone busy and distracted (or naive) it might be opened… so I wanted to let everyone know ;)

Happy Computing!

CLUBX ADULT STORES AUSTRALIA CHOOSES TOIBOCKS FOR THEIR XMAS RETAIL CAMPAIGN

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CLUBX ADULT STORES AUSTRALIA CHOOSES TOIBOCKS FOR THEIR XMAS RETAIL CAMPAIGN

The Original ToiBocks does quite well for the holiday

ClubX Adult Stores Retail Development Manager Glenn Hill confirmed that an integral part of the chain’s Xmas retail offer was the launch of ToiBocks into the Australian market and after only having the ToiBocks in stock the three weeks leading up to the holiday he is pleased with the results. Glenn said “I’ve selected ToiBocks to become an important part of our Xmas sales drive for a number of reasons. Firstly, they are a stylish item which would not look out of place on any bedside table in Australian homes. Secondly, with restrictions on what type of product Adult Stores can promote through external advertising mediums, the ToiBocks is an item that will be readily acceptable for advertising agents to assist us in gaining maximum exposure. Thirdly, the versatility of the ToiBocks allows us to put a “cheeky” spin on our sales pitch whilst remaining within advertising guidelines.

“I guess the one aspect that sets this item apart from most other storage boxes is the “secret” compartment component. I have to admit, that without getting some guidance from the creator Dawn Tulman, I would still be trying to “unlock the secret.” This is a great selling point for our staff, and allows them to interact in a fun way with their customers.”

“Of course, the “secret” compartment is where we see the real opportunity to explain to customers how they can conceal their “toys” in a secure and discreet fashion. The potential of also obtaining “add on” sales of toys and novelties whilst demonstrating this feature is also very appealing.”
“We are very excited to be so well received in Australia,” said Dawn Tulman, president of ToiBocks Inc “we are looking forward to providing consumers with discreet storage options in many other countries as well.”
For more information contact ToiBocks by emailing sales@toibocks.com or by calling (818) 392-8558.

E Card Virus Warning!!

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , — dawn @ 9:48 am

Happy holidays!

A lot of people are choosing to send E cards for the upcoming holiday. I wanted to email you all a warning of what to look for BEFORE opening an e card.

Just today I got a very convincing VIRUS email designed to look like an e-card receipt and wanted to share some information with all with you so that you know what to look for.

The email I got “appears” to be an E-Card. There are a couple things that tipped me off right away that it was not.

• There is no “confirmation number” in this email. A legitimate email will give you the option to go directly to the card website and enter a confirmation number to receive your card.

• There is no “sender” in this email. Typically the emails will say “Betty sent you an e-card” or “betty@website.com sent you an e-card”

The email appears to come from e-card@hallmark.com, which is easy enough to fool.

Not so obvious were the hyperlinks embedded in the email. If I hover my mouse over the links embedded in the email, where it says “to see it click here” the link does NOT go to hallmark.com but another site. The header links take you to the right place, except for the “E-card” link that takes you to a website ending in “hallmark-card.exe” which is where the malicious code lies.

When you receive an e-card from someone, even if you recognize the senders name, DO NOT CLICK ON ANY LINKS IN THE EMAIL – copy your confirmation number and go DIRECTLY to the site that created the e-card (such as hallmark.com) and put in your confirmation number to receive your card. If the email does not have a confirmation number, it is not a legitimate e card.

Happy Holidays and Stay Virus Free!!
Dawn

Freddy and Eddy love ToiBocks

Two of my favorite “industry” people have reviewed the ToiBocks and gave it a big thumbs up!

Who are Freddy and Eddy? They’re a couple who are deeply committed to each other and to helping other couples find a new level of intimacy through reviews, advice and just simply sharing their experiences with others.

Here’s part of their About Us

We are a married couple – together since 1989 – who don’t ever want to lose the wonderful intimacy and sexual attraction in our relationship. We believe sex and intimacy are integral to the happiness and longevity of all relationships and that these components should be BETTER the longer we’re together. In other words, we wish to defy the stereotype that marriage shouldn’t be the sexiest and most fun time of our lives. Freddy – Ian – is the husband, Eddy – Alicia – is the wife (we’re now comfortable using our real names, incidentally). For the record, at one time we would’ve scoffed at visiting an adult store or cruising the web looking for sex toys. This site was created to address issues we OURSELVES had (and continue to encounter as we navigate the wonderful waters of marriage). We realize sex is a beautiful and natural occurrence, vital to fulfilling our roles as husband and wife. We need not be ashamed of our sexuality in any way, shape, or form and neither should you. Finally, we live in a house with a white picket fence and love to take our 10 year old son to the beach every chance we get. Probably just like most of you.

Here is their review of ToiBocks:

This box ROCKS. Plenty of space and gorgeous design set it apart from all others.
Synopsis: A line of stylish storage cases for all manner of sex (or otherwise) products.

Our Review: One of the most underserved categories in our industry is sex toy storage. Specifically, options that cater to the odd shapes and sizes of pleasure devices, while combining style and beauty at the same time. For Your Nymphomation and Devine Toys are both great options (FYN having the more diverse selection of the two), but neither approaches the traditional jewelry box in terms of being bedside table appropriate.

Then along came ToiBocks. Made of wood and velvet lined, this lovely container looks at home in almost any room, has plenty of space for even larger items, and locks securely to keep out unwanted snoopers (like kids). With two levels, one could conceivably keep rings and necklaces in the top compartment, while holding a couple favorite vibes or dildos underneath (with room to spare for lube, wipes, etc.). In ours, we keep our most necessary orgasm producers (Fun Factory Layaspot, Tantus Curve, Emotional Bliss Femblossom, and Sliquid Silk) in the spacious lower section, while keeping a few of our cock rings in the top. The ToiBocks even has a divider inside to further organize your fun.

Warning – spoiler alert!

However, as nice as the ToiBocks is, it has one more innovation we haven’t seen anywhere. That is, when you look at it from any angle, you can’t locate a locking mechanism. No key, no lock. Nothing. So how does it lock? Glad we asked. The designer managed to come up with an ingenious magnetic “key” in the form of a metal logo, that locks and unlocks the box. If you didn’t know about this feature prior to approaching the ToiBocks, you’d be hard-pressed to figure out exactly how to access the contents inside. In fact, we spent more than a few minutes in front of a grinning Dawn Tulman – the inventor of the ToiBocks – trying to unlock the mystery before finally giving up at a trade show in 2008. Kudos, Dawn, you stumped Freddy and Eddy, bigtime!

In conclusion, this is one of those “must-have” accessories for anyone looking to store their private fun within arm’s length. Not only is the ToiBocks a lovely little piece of decor, but it also keeps the dust away while protecting toys from possible light degradation. It’s sturdy construction means years (if not a lifetime) of use and we’ve installed ours right next to our bed where it serves up frisky contents night after night. Oh, and did we mention it is a gorgeous piece of functional furniture, regardless? For all of these reasons, we give the ToiBocks our highest recommendation and rating.

Recipe for a sexy holiday: Set up the ToiBocks with the key in place and hide the directions. Get your sweetie a risque item and lock it in the bottom. Watch their delight when they open their beautiful jewelry box valet and then tell them there’s something special hidden inside. Enjoy them trying to figure out how to get into the ToiBocks and watch the look of amazement on their face when they find their risque item and know that they have somewhere safe to keep it!

For a fun variation put something in the bottom that they can use on you once they get it out!

Suggestions: OhMiBod’s new Freestyle, you no longer need an I-Pod to enjoy this fabulous product (www.ohmibod.com)! A sensuous massage candle – they make candles now that not only fill up the room with amazing scents but also can be poured directly onto your lover’s skin for a sensuous massage! Fuzzy handcuffs and a blind fold are fun items to play with.

Best thing is that now they have a safe place to keep those things that might embarrass them if they were discovered.

Feel free to post your own suggestions on what would be great to hide inside the ToiBocks this holiday!

Happy Holidays!

Press release:

TOIBOCKS DISCREET STORAGE SOLUTIONS NOW AVAILABLE AT ALL HUSTLER HOLLYWOOD LOCATIONS

The Original ToiBocks is now on display and selling

ToiBocks, a leading provider of discreet personal storage solutions, is proud to announce the Hustler Hollywood retail chain as the latest retailer to add ToiBocks products to their offerings.

Designed as a jewelry box with a hidden lock mechanism that protects the secret storage area, The Original ToiBocks is the only discreet storage solution on the market that customers can keep out in the open, enabling them to keep private items secure and conveniently accessible.

All it took was one demonstration for Hollie Petillo, corporate buyer for HH Retail Group, to make the decision to offer ToiBocks products to their customers. Hollie notes “one of the display signs that comes with a ToiBocks order says ‘Are you smarter than a customs agent?’ Well, as it turns out, I’m not! After spending about 10 minutes trying to get it open, I finally gave up and read the instructions.” When asked why she thinks her customers will like ToiBocks products, Hollie explained, “What an amazing way to keep your favorite secrets away from prying eyes! But this isn’t just a functional storage solution – the rich cherry wood finish and the soft velvet-lined storage compartments inside make ToiBocks an elegant compliment to any bedroom. Hustler Hollywood is very excited to be able to offer our customers the ultimate in secure, discreet storage for their toys, DVDs, jewelry, or anything else they want to keep secret.”

Dawn Tulman, president of ToiBocks is enthusiastic about the partnering. She explains, “The setup at Hustler Hollywood makes them the ideal retailer for The Original ToiBocks. Having The Original ToiBocks on their toy demo table helps the customer connect to the need for stylish discreet storage while looking at toys and also to see how the ToiBocks functions. Size has been a common question with regard to ToiBocks and with this arrangement customers can see the ToiBocks actually holds more than most people think.”

Customers can now go into any of the nine Hustler Hollywood locations across the country and see for themselves why ToiBocks is considered the ultimate in discreet storage.

Based in Los Angeles, ToiBocks, Inc. offers uniquely stylish, discreet personal storage solutions that can be kept out in the open. For more information, please visit www.toibocks.com.

ToiBocks on Playboy TV’s Foursomes

Filed under: General — Tags: , , , , , , — dawn @ 10:00 am

If you’re a subscriber to Playboy TV check out this seasons series Foursomes.

Foursome

Originally they were going to use ToiBocks as a game by hiding something in the bottom and once the contestants figured out how to get into the box they would use that item on the person whose name was on a paper in the tray… but I wouldn’t let them reveal how the lock mechanism worked on camera so they opted just to leave them in the background and let the contestants play with them on their own time…

Anyway, check it out ;)

From The Secret Daily Teachings

Criticism can be very subtle in the way it creeps into our thoughts. Here are some examples of criticism to help you become aware of its subtlety, so you can eliminate it from your thoughts:

The weather is awful today.

The traffic is terrible.

The service is really bad.

Oh no, look at the line.

He/She is always late.

How long do we have to wait for our order?

That motorist is a lunatic.

It’s so hot in here.

I’ve been on hold for so long!

These are subtle things, but the law of attraction is listening to them all. You have the ability to appreciate something in every single circumstance. There is always something to be grateful for.
