A taster of our best posts:
Spanking Amazon Shop
You may have noticed that we’re forever coming across things that spark our pervy interest. Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, we’ve now pulled some of these together onto our very own Amazon bookstore. Kinky things for kinky people, as it were. Head on over and have a look!
We get a few meagre cents back from Amazon if you buy anything, too. (So order now: if we don’t make a million before Christmas, Haron gets whipped). (Joke).
We’d welcome your suggestions, too, for things to add to the site.

As the fine selection of books and gadgets you two have put together is priced in dollars, does that mean they come from the U.S., and does that mean I stand the chance of being stung with import tax? I don’t like it one little bit when that happens!:(

Wow, nice effort there.
A riding crop I kind of want to have and I wonder if you can describe what’s it like and it is worth it. In other words, is it a somehow different sensation which would gain a special place in our spanking saga?
And, what in the world do you do with a wooden pasta spoon? I don’t even want to think which side you use
.
By the way, check out my new paddle over at my blog – it’s kind of formidable, I don’t know what I was thinking.
Actually, yesterday I almost bought a bath brush (that’s what it’s called?), but it was SO heavy and big, that my heart skipped a beat and I put it back on the shelf in a store.

Hey, also, the Kinkycrafts book is something I would almost buy for my husband or myself – it’s like Martha Steward Living: “Make your own spanking anything but bottom” or something like that.

Here’s a real suggestion, though. I don’t know how seriously you take your shop, and I am guessing probably not that seriously, but if you were, then:
A lot of people will look at the item and sort of wonder and wanna know more about it. It would be good to provide as brief “About this item,” cause that’s what I am always looking for when I shop and this is what I find important when I sell things myself. People just wanna know more.
You also may wanna upsell your stuff a little bit – make a blog entry about a particular item which you especially like, and as many people as read your blog, they might wanna buy it.
I would definitely expand the implement section, if possible, but I realize you are limited with amazon assortment. Interesting items for tying a girl up? (Or maybe you’re not into that sort of thing).
Actually, I quite liked the idea of a store myself. I would love to write spanking implements reviews and such. In fact, I think I will maybe launch a blog section for product reviews, LOL. I love selling people on things.

Heh. Cool! I added a link to your bookshop on my blog. Not so that you earn a million dollars (if you do, I’m starting my own bookshop), but so that you earn a few cents now and then

Oh, I guess you already have a description for lots of stuff – somehow didn’t see it. Sorry!

Sorry to make this many posts – I just saw that there’s a whole bunch of bondage stuff too – somehow that wasn’t immediately evident until you go to “similar items’. Very nice

For fantasy lovers in the mainstream section, the latest George R. R. Martin book, A Feast for Crows, has several tasty spanking comments, but sadly no action. Maybe in book 5.

Glad you all like the shop, and thanks for the suggestions. (Sparkle – many thanks for the link!)
Perhaps we should start a campaign for Amazon to stock a more comprehensive range of implements?!
(Sarah – they do come from the US, but I don’t think Customs often stop shipments and charge tax. Unfortunately the UK Amazon site thought our site was ‘inappropriate’ so we can’t sell stuff from over here!!)

Yes, Abel, tell me more about how Britain is more subtle and elegant… oops…spanking shop… not that elegant:).

I’ve added your “book shop” to my little spanking guide to the internet at chross.blogt.ch – nice idea!
As for suggestions what to add to your site – how about a link to my blog
?
