How about "This year's must-have summer accessory!" (I'm soooo tired of winter.)

I agree with Kim above... no more winter ideas.. please! : )

I googled a national month's calendar to get some ideas. After a quick look, the following themes jump out for me:

March: National Athletic Training Month (new sports accessory ideas)
March: National Girl Scout Week (kidding - - I just want some girl scout cookies)
April: March for Babies (submit baby/kid product ideas)
April: National Garden Month (new gardening products)
April: Pet Owner's Day (new pet products)

Summer is still too far away. How about Spring Break?

Great research, Sandra! I'm particularly intrigued by the sports idea... we haven't really done anything in that arena.

Also, I just noticed the ridiculous number of exclamation points I included in my post. Can you tell we're excited?!

Let's do something playful. I would love us to design some sort of toy product (particularly one that can be taken outdoors as it gets nicer up here in the Northeast. . .no offense to Frosty Faces :)). After all, we've got a whole tab for "Toys" under the "Awesome Products for Sale" space on the main page. Let's fill it up!

I second Austin's idea about Spring Break and Fred's idea about something playful - some kind of new Quirky college campus outdoorsy type game would fit the bill for both of those ideas - perhaps something college kids can take with them to the beach on Spring Break

Move over Frisbee and Hula Hoops - here comes Quirky! :)

How about something specifically dealing with Quirky brand awareness

a lets get the Q out campaign for Spring/Summer

maybe designing hats, shirts, something (somebody please come up with something Quirkier then that, my brain is blank)

but, nonetheless lets get the Q out

i am also down with the summer / spring theme.

a pool or beach toy / accessory would be cool.

i think sports would be boring unless we made up our own.

Cabin Fever appears to be rampant.

Outside activities...
Get off the couch or get away from the computer and have some "outdoor" fun.
No food or drink items. No camping tools, no sunglass holders.
No antisocial use of iPods, iPads, cell phones or laptops!

Something that requires at least two people to take part in.
Let's get physical!

The soccer world cup, which is is the most widely-viewed sporting event in the world, is coming up in june.

We could come up with a product for all the excited soccer fans worldwide!

(we would have to be on time though, which might be the problem with a summer product, too. If it takes as long as the beamer and scratch-n-scroll to be produced, we might not be on time)

Pet Products, huge industry.

Florian, I cosign with the world cup, it is huge, if we could come up with the next hot noisemaker for fans to play with during games. Think thundersticks.

I am leaning toward the beach accessory, not necessarily a toy though. Just something that could be used during a trip to the beach.

I second Michael K's Idea. We need to get people to know Quirky!

@Michael C

"Let's get physical"

AAAAGGGHHH! Now I can't get that song out of my head! Thanks a lot!! :)

1: Toys: We need more toys for sale on the site.....would be nice to see what people could come up with in this area.

2: Lighting: The ultimate lighting fixture. Stylish and creative. We need more home furnishings

3: Pets: Tap into the pet market with a hip and or innovative product.

4: Deck and Patio: Something for those days and nights spent outside with the family on the back deck. Spring is almost here.

5: Personal Wear: Something innovative and Quirky that can be worn and show personaity/creativity
