The entire month of October is special as we take this time to be cognizant of the work that has been and still needs to be done with breast cancer prevention, treatments and other support to patients, survivors and their families.
This year, Lou, Babs & Moogs designated portions of sales on products in their POP CULTURE collection to benefit Pennies in Action (www.penniesinaction.org) in their search for a vaccine that would prevent this devastating disease. Word of our “WHAM! BAM! POW! HELP KNOCK OUT BREAST CANCER” program was spread through the donated work of PowerTech International and generously supported by our customers throughout the month.
Based on the enthusiastic response in store, next year’s Breast Cancer Month promotion will be expanded to include online purchases so everyone can find something great to purchase while contributing to a most worthwhile cause. But with another week to go, there is still plenty of time to participate. Stop in, give us a call (516)883-8585 or send us an email (askus@LBmgifts.com) – tellus what you want and we will even ship it free.

On April 6th, I had the exciting opportunity to Skate with the Stars at the Figure Skating in Harlem’s annual benefit at Wollman Rink. Everyone you know was out there, on blades, under the clear evening skies surrounded by New York’s most famous skyscrapers. Director Sharon Cohen pulled some serious strings with the “Guy upstairs” when she got the torrential rain to stop just in time for the drive into the City and to start up again on our way home. I was already in awe of all she had and has done, but now I know she is truly amazing!
Past and current champions, from Dorothy Hamill and Todd Eldredge to Kimmie Meissner, Alissa Czisny, Evan Lysacek and Johnny Weir (and many more), mingled with guests and fans in between obligatory media moments. Even, my childhood favorites,
JoJo Starbuck and Ken Shelley were there showing their unending support and love for all the good things skating represents, especially to the girls of the Figure Skating in Harlem.

This year, we have faced additional challenges against the evil forces of recession.
As the dark realities of our economy loom. The LBM team labors in the trenches of our
headquarters to rise and face this villain, prepared to fight until good prevails. This year’s awards honor the courage each member has sustained as superheroes and heroines of LBM.
FANTASTIGIRL
Always reliable and with a smile through sunny days and stormy ones. Whether we are having a rush of business or just one customer that day, everything according to this super heroine is always FANTASTIC! .
GIRL WONDER
As the newest heroine of our clan, she is still letting us get to know her. So far, we think she knows what’s she’s doing, but for now, it remains a mystery. At the same time, she’s still trying to figure us out! Looks like we’re all wondering.
THE INCREDIBLE BULK
Neither sleet, nor snow, nor the dark of night, will keep this superhero from keeping the store front shoveled or the big boxes brought to and fro. When he’s not using his brute strength to push, lift and carry, he is out forcing his colleagues to shop us on line, or else! He’s moving LBM into the future one box at a time!
CAPTAIN SMARTYPANTS
For his tenacity and perseverance everyday, this superhero continues to amaze us all with his commitment to his work, friends and his unique sense of humor. He’s a brave warrior of truth and justice.
TEXTRA
Click, click, click, if you can’t hear this super heroine talking, it’s because she’s on her blackberry. She’s always keeping connected with the world outside our headquarters.
SHEETROCKMAN
If you fix it, they will come. This superhero makes sure that the LBM headquarters is always in tip top shape. After all, it’s difficult to see merchandise in the dark or without shelves!
CHATWOMAN
With her non stop updates on her latest dilemmas and predicaments and news on everything and everyone west of Main Street, this super heroine keeps our website in tip top shape. (We just want to know what happened to the Big Buddha Bag?).
GLIDERMAN
Swishing through moguls and powder, whatever the terrain, this superhero can get through and conquer anything with style and a smile.
POISON ICY
Always on the go and up to something—not always good, this heroine does it all. One minute she’s saving babies from eating dog poop and the next she’s knocking over bullies in the school halls. She kicks, she skates, she’s out saving her world!
PAINIAC
Just because he’s behind the scenes doesn’t mean we can miss noticing him. Annoying beyond a doubt, this superhero always has a master plan.
WONDERFUL WOMAN
We can only say great things about this super heroine, unless she’s divulging a top secret to the enemy side (as in, we didn’t want THEM to know!) The customers LOVE her and her awesome wrapping skills.
IRON PAN
Presentation is everything, but it better taste good too. This superhero is taking the world’s stomach by storm. Even the most dangerous villainesses love a man who sizzles!
JAVA GIRL
As the right hand of the LBM team and lifeline to all team members, this super heroine must always be on top of her game. She fights the evil temptation of fatigue that descends upon her at 3pm daily with her caffeine fix at Starbucks.
YOU ROCK!
