Unfortunately there is a postal strike going on right now in Canada, so we are temporarily unable to ship any orders to our Canadian customers. We’ve disabled Canadian shipping options, and for everyone affected who has ordered in the last week or so, we’ve emailed them to let them know their shipments that have already been sent will be delayed somewhere along the line. We’ve looked into alternate shipping options that don’t involve Canada Post, but FedEx starts around $35, which is too much for most customers to pay. If you are in Canada and have a wig emergency and don’t mind the high shipping cost, feel free to email us at thefivewits@thefivewits.net to set up arrangements. For everyone else, sorry about the bad luck, and as soon as the folks at Canada Post get this sorted out we’ll be up and running again!

Its been great to see how many people are working together to send support to Japan.  We all obviously owe a lot to the Japanese people, and not just their famous artists, writers and celebrities.  We want to see everybody cared for and given hope.

We wanted to do more over here than just donate, so we’re going to be giving away incentives to thank everyone else who is donating too!

Paypal is offering an easy way to donate to a number of reputable agencies on the ground. And its is covering all the processing fees, so that your entire donation goes where you meant it to.

Donate through Paypal to any one of the listed aid agencies, and forward us your e-receipt along with the email or snail mail address you want us to ship to, and we’ll send our own thank you!

Donate $5 and we will send you a matching discount code for your next order.

Donate $10 and we’ll send you a matching discount code for your next order.

Donate $20- $25 and we will ship you a free T-shirt.

Donate $30 or more and Birdy will draw you a Chaotic Goods style Stat Block, or portrait or whatnot as requested.

We’ll keep this up as long as we can.

Thank you!

Here’s the new weekly sale wig! There’s no special theme to the sales this month, so we could pick anything that we feel like discounting. This particular wig is discontinued, so when it’s gone, it’s gone.

This short spiky blue work is ideal for Kamina from Gurren Lagann. It is approximately 3″ (8 cm) long, and comes out of the bag already in short spikes.

This week our white sale features a long white wig. It’s $10 off!

Merry Christmas and /or Happy Average Day to everybody on teh Internet.  We hope your day is full of fun and generates stories to tell the survivors for years to come.

We’re looking forward to a big crazy year of excitement and conventions, and hope to see you guys in person somewhere along the way.  Thanks to everybody who supported us this year, and made our gypsy existence possible!  Without you guys, we would be unable to do what we do.  And wow, we love what we do.

We’re working out ideas for January sales, getting together more wig styles, and drafting more webcomics.  We hope you’ll like them.

If anybody out there enjoys YA adventure fiction and hasn’t found this site yet, Ruth has a free Holiday gift of writing and art (2 books and counting) at www.worldofshandor.com

However you spend your day, may it be full of geeky awesomesauce,

From all of us, to all of you.

We love giving presents! This holiday season, with every order, we’ll ship a free gift. What will it be? Who knows? We have lots of fun and random things that will be sure to surprise you.

Hoping everyone had a great Thanksgiving! We did. Jess read aloud from the new Bujold Vorkosigan book, Jess and Ruth tag teamed dinner and Birdy got the new comic up! We finished up the day by going to see Deathly Hallows. We’ll start a Black Friday through Cyber Monday sale uncomfortably early tomorrow morning, so look for us then, or whenever you recover from turkey or tufurkey hangovers. Happy Holidays!
