Hello medical marijuana users!

ToiBocks solves yet another discreet storage problem… keeping your (expensive!) medical marijuana out of sight and safe from sticky fingers.

Entire review can be read here: (note this site is all about marijuana, if you’re offended by that please don’t go there) http://www.tokeofthetown.com/2010/07/need_discreet_storage_hide_it_in_plain_sight_with.php

Excerpt:
ToiBocks doesn’t just store and conceal your valuables from thieves, police, curious children, and nosy friends and family — this elegantly beautiful, high-quality cherry wood and velvet jewelry box looks great doing it.

About four sex toys, or 20 DVDs, or roughly a quarter-pound of marijuana will fit in the hidden storage space.

Serendipitously, it turns out the ToiBocks is also very good at sealing in the herbal smell of cannabis, adding another level of discretion.

Thanks Toke of the Town! We’re glad you LOVE your ToiBocks!

I am a regular contributor to the Home Pleasure Party Plan Association’s magazine for their members. Thought I’d share this month’s article with you all. Note this is written for people who are party plan people, but the heart of the message is for everyone.

Valentine’s Day is all about the love
By Dawn Tulman

There are two ways to look at Valentine’s Day. One is as a special day set aside to acknowledge your love to your “Valentine.” The other is as a day to do what you should be doing all year long.

I used to not celebrate Valentine’s Day. I always made it a point to be romantic on a regular basis, to do sweet things for my beau, to be adventurous in the boudoir. Then I had three kids and sometimes… I don’t even remember to shower, much less invite him in with me! Now Valentine’s Day is having more meaning to me, is becoming more special because I know it will be OUR day. Yes, it’s ideal to have a day without your children on a regular basis but it’s not always possible, so I know I can count on this one day and plan for extras along the way.

I got an email from a customer who wrote to tell me that she’s using her ToiBocks to spice up her love life. When she first got it she hid some fuzzy handcuffs, a blind fold, a massage candle and a feather inside and handed the box to her mate. Once he figured out how to get inside (she had to help him) he used those items with her. She made little game out of it. The ToiBocks on her nightstand holds her favorite, regularly used toys and the one on his is their “game” box. They take turns putting different things inside and then he “unpacks” it like a little love kit for their intimate time together. Consider doing this for your customers. Making a little “list” of things that go well together for a romantic, intimate evening.

To me, intimate time is as important as privacy. What have you done lately for your mate? Maybe in your business you could make up a little card with some “love tips” to hand out at your parties. You are probably exposed to a great many ideas in your line of work and you can share those to enhance the experiences of those you’re selling to. Call it your “Top Ten Ideas for a Romantic Interlude” or something enticing. List out a few scenarios, print it on pink paper and see how many relationships you enhance with your ideas.

Encourage your customers to learn how to make more time for intimacy. For parents with children at home, suggest starting an “evening out” exchange with someone who has children their age. Every other week one set takes the others children and then you switch. Use that time alone to really spend some quality time with your partner, not cleaning the house! For customers who have no children talk about the “why” intimacy is so important. Women are all about the advice, considering copying some articles on intimacy and having them on the table for your customers to read during down times in your presentation. Encourage the women in the room to share how they make time for intimacy.

Make it a point to stand out from other people who do what you do. Develop your brand as someone who cares more about the customer than how much they purchase and the purchases will increase before you know it!

Dawn Tulman is the president of ToiBocks Inc.; she’s been married for 13 years and has three children. ToiBocks is a jewelry box with a hidden lock mechanism that enables you to keep your intimate items on the nightstand for easy access while keeping out sticky fingers and prying eyes. The idea for ToiBocks was inspired when Dawn’s oldest daughter “discovered” one of her novelties in the nightstand and she could not find a product that met her need to keep her toys handy and secure right out in the open.

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!

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.”

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.

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.
