When I started SMITH in January 2006, I did so with a core belief that I was going to start something that would add to and create conversation rather than make more noise in a world that surely needed no more. When I realized that the way SMITH would be supported would not be in fact web ads (ah, how naive we once were...) but by products that would naturally emerge from the site, my cofounder Tim Barkow and I created a new rule: make art, not schwag. With that in mind, we humbly add noise to the holiday shopping season with a few gifts ideas from the world of SMITH. Nothing's more than $20; each and every one of the items listed below are great for all ages; and whether you're sharing a page of our daily calendar with a colleague or sporting a T-shirt with your Six-Word Memoir on it, you can be quite sure that one thing will happen: a conversation will begin. Here's the cheat sheet for Cyber Monday. Longer descriptions in this post below as well as in our new SMITH Shop. For your kid's teacher, anyone's stocking, or the sixth night of Hanukkah: One of our Six-Word Memoir books—great for ages 8 through 88 (and above). For your goofy cousin: I Can't Keep My Own Secrets: Six-Word Memoirs by Teens Famous & Obscure. For an old-school smartie without a smart phone: The Six--Word Memoir Calendar. For the whole family: The Six Word Game (see below for a special discount for SMITH readers) For your sweetie, or sweetie to be: Put the six words that describe him or her on a custom Six-Word T-shirt. (We've got a discount for the tees, too—see below.)
