YourNameUniversity.com is the country’s sole manufacturer of personalized academic apparel and novelty diplomas and certificates with over 165,800 names for sale every day. Our innovative concept focuses on customized gag and commemorative gifts with a unique twist, incorporating a person’s first or last name, hometown or a fictitious novelty name to fit the recipient’s personality.

Featured Holiday Item:

"The Official Santa Landing Zone" Yard Sign - This popular and one-of-a-kind sign notifies children, their friends, and their entire neighborhood that Santa has designated their home as an official landing site for his sleigh on Christmas Eve. With fewer homes with chimneys, Santa has been having a really hard time figuring out where to land. Santa now has to do what airports do - designate a landing zone for the sleigh and more easily manage his Christmas Eve drop-offs. After all, how would Santa land at a house if it doesn't have an "OFFICIAL SANTA LANDING ZONE" sign in the yard?" The 4-color plastic sign is 24" wide X 18" high and comes with an easy to use Step Stake. It is 100% "Made In The USA" and can be viewed at www.SantaLandingZone.com.

What makes your business unique?

Due to our recent economic situation, many people are now eating at home more than ever. People are cutting back in all areas of life and couponing has become the biggest craze. I am a huge couponer and love to stockpile. I am not only a Tupperware Manager, I am a Stockpiling Specialist. What is stockpiling? Stockpiling is having one or more extra items of products you consume or use everyday. Tupperware has seen a huge growth over the last several months, and that is partly due to more people are at eating at home and the huge growth in stockpiling. Tupperware will save you money! With Tupperware you can save up to 40% more space in your cabinets and keep your goods fresher longer. With our Modular Mates Storage system you will save money, space and time!

SAVE MONEY~
*Average family throws away $75-80 per month on stale food.
*Foods are packed with enzymes that keep food fresh; once the “freshness” seal is broken the food begins to go bad.
*With Modular Mates you never throw away any stale food.
*Foods are kept fresh for 12 months or more.
*Average family throws away $120 of baggies, foil & plastic wrap per year.
*Modular Mates are the only “wrap” you’ll ever need.
*You only buy them one time.
*With Tupperware’s Lifetime guarantee, your Modular Mates are a lifetime investment.

SAVE SPACE~
*Visualize your cabinets or pantry with me…Do you see a lot of wasted space?
*With Modular Mates you use every last inch high and wide giving you 2-3 times more room in your cabinet or pantry.
*How many could use extra cabinet space?
*Modular Mates were specifically designed by computers and engineers to give you the most storage

SAVE TIME ~
*Before you can save a lot of time you have to invest a little time in getting your kitchen organized. Modular Mates are the foundation for kitchen organization.
*A disorganized pantry can be frustrating -not to mention the extra time & money.
*When containers are empty, wash them & put them back in their spot.
*The newer clear see through containers help making your grocery list a snap.
