What  a  Character!

Monthly Specials

 

Every month, we offer a special discount on some type or category of item.  The items featured in our specials vary from month to month and are not planned in advance.  Check this page each month to find out what is featured for a sale at that time.  In order to qualify for the monthly special, you must (1) mention the discount at the time you make your initial inquiry and place your order, and (2) have your payment postmarked anytime within the month that the special is offered.  It's that simple!

 

SEPTEMBER 2010

This month, we will harken back to our childhood (those of us who were children of the 1960s, that is, or those of us who had children during the 1960s) and commemorate our memories of bathtime fun.  Throughout the month of September, we will offer 15% discounts on all soakies.  That includes those manufactured after the 1960s, as other companies have capitalized on the nostalgia craze in recent years by making their own versions of these classic shampoo bottle toys.  

 

AUGUST 2010

This month, we will be offering a special that we hope will have you singing a new tune:  musicals.  Throughout August, we will offer 15% discounts on all musicals in our inventory.  If you purchase three or more of them in a single transaction, we will increase that discount to 20%.  Enjoy the end of summer, and we hope that this special is music to your ears!

 

JULY 2010

Hard as this may be to believe, but 55 years ago this month, Walt Disney's dream of opening up his beloved theme park -- Disneyland -- became a reality.  What an accomplishment that was for him!  This month, we will offer 15% discounts on all Walt Disney cartoon memorabilia in our inventory.  Since Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse were Walt's "special children," we will offer 20% on those two characters.

 

JUNE 2010

This month, we're offering 15% discounts on all collector's glasses in our inventory.  As a fun, random bonus, we'll also offer 10% discounts on all characters wearing glasses or shown holding a glass in their hand(s).  So let's drink to that price reduction!

 

MAY 2010

The old adage says that April showers bring May flowers.  Throughout the month of May, we will offer 15% discounts on all items with flowers in or on them.  In addition, any character (for example, Daisy Duck) whose name is a flower will also be eligible for this same 15% discount.  Smells like a sweet deal to us!

 

APRIL 2010

Due to having chosen a different monthly special in March, we neglected to commemorate the 75th birthday of an animated "giant":  Porky Pig.  On March 2nd, Porky officially turned 75 (hard to believe, eh?), first having appeared in the cartoon I Haven't Got a Hat.  As a belated birthday commemoration, this month, we will offer 15% discounts on all merchandise featuring Porky Pig.  Enjoy the special and, for now, Th-th-th-th-that's all folks!

 

MARCH 2010

With a couple of back-to-back blizzards and record-breaking snowfall here during February, we think that this winter is for the birds!  We're certainly ready for it to melt away.  So, while we're speaking of birds, during the month of March, we will offer 15% discounts on all items featuring a bird character.  In addition, any item that has a bird on it, even if it is not the main character of the item being sold, will be eligible for a 10% discount.  Here's to hoping that spring comes sometime soon . . . and that this month's special helps some nifty items to fly off our shelves! 

 

JANUARY / FEBRUARY 2010

Happy new year, everyone!  Not only is this the start of a new month and a new year, but also a new decade.  Commemorating this, throughout the month of January 2010, What  a  Character! will be offering discounts on new items.  We'll begin the discount rate at 20%, and for every year old that an item is, we will reduce that discount by 1%.  An item that is five years old (that is, manufactured or copyrighted in 2005) will receive a 15% discount; one that is nine years old will be eligible for an 11% discount; and so forth, back to a 1990 manufacturing date, at which point all merchandise would be priced as shown on the website.  So this month, it's out with the old and in with the new!

 

DECEMBER 2009

With Christmas and the gift-giving season upon us, we thought that it would be appropriate if we were to offer discounts this month on Christmas ornaments.  Throughout the month of December, we will discount all Christmas ornaments by 15%.  We wish all of you a happy holiday season and a peaceful, safe end to 2009.

 

NOVEMBER 2009

Sunny day

Sweepin' the clouds away

On my way, to where the air is sweet

Can you tell me how to get

How to get to Sesame Street?

40 years ago this month (on November 10th, 1969 to be specific), viewers heard those fun lyrics for the first time as Sesame Street began its amazing run on television.  Celebrating this milestone in Muppetdom, throughout the month of November, we will offer 15% discounts on all Muppets character merchandise.  

Come and play

Everything's A-OK

Friendly neighbors there

That's where we meet . . . 

 

OCTOBER 2009

This month marks the end of our 12th year in business.  To commemorate What  a  Character!'s birthday, we will offer 12% discounts on all merchandise whose inventory number contains a "12" anywhere in it.  If you purchase 12 items from us in a single transaction, we will give you the 12th item free of charge as an extra buying bonus.  Happy birthday to us!

 

SEPTEMBER 2009

This month (on the 19th, to be precise) marks Linus' 57th birthday (lookin' pretty youthful for his age, eh?!).  In celebration of that, we will offer 20% discounts on all Linus merchandise during the month of September.  All other Peanuts character merchandise will be discounted by 10% this month as well, so that Linus' friends can celebrate with him.  Buy enough of their items and your savings definitely won't be peanuts.       ;-)
