Squidoo Lens Idea Example: A Gift Registry For The Birthday Squid

Presents For Our Favorite Cephalopod On His Special Day
You may already have seen my lens, Set Up A Gift Registry On Squidoo, and if so, here's an example of what I was talking about. This is a gift registry I've made on behalf of my friend, the Birthday Squid, who'll be turning ... well, his age really isn't important. Let's just say it's a BIG birthday for this fast-growing squid.
So, after thoroughly picking my buddy's brain (after all, Cephalopods exhibit relatively high intelligence compared to other invertebrates), I've put together this registry to make your birthday gift-buying easier. So browse through the items below and, while you're here, feel free to pick up something for yourself, for a squid-loving loved one, or for a friend.
If you do purchase for THE Birthday Squid, be sure to use the Contact link on my profile or use the Guestbook below to let me know, so I can mark it as purchased.

Fly A Birthday Squid To The Moon
Ten!... Nine! ... Eight! ... Seven! ....
Birthday Squid has always wanted to travel into space, especially to the moon. And you can make that happen. Just fill in the information in the Orbitz module below and click to find the best rates on rocket ship fares and lunar lodging. Birthday Squid won't be needing a rental pod, as he hasn't learned to drive just yet.(...Six! ... Five! ... Four!...)
Anyone interested in contributing to a "Send Birthday Squid Into Space" gift pool, send me a message via the Contact Me link in my profile and let me know, including the amount you would like to give. I'll compile a list and contact everyone in time to book the trip if someone hasn't already done so.

Birthday Squid's Top Pick
Next to flying to the moon, that is.
Matchbox Mega Rig Squid Sub
Amazon Price: $24.88 (as of 05/31/2012)
List Price: $19.99
This is Birthday Squid's most wanted toy. The submarine is actually motorized and drives on or under the water. All the pieces combine and connect, so he could build more than 10 different boats and submarines, and even attach the motor to other Mega Rig sets he already has! This is perfect for the bathtub, the pool or the deep sea or coral reef.
More Squid Toys
With 8 arms, birthday squid can play with all of these at once.

Birthday Squid selected these items too:
Squidoo Mug
Birthday Squid loves a hot drink first thing in the morning. In fact, sometimes he's got a cuppa joe in one hand, a steaming mug of cocoa in another, some Earl Grey in a third, a mug of hot cider in a fourth, some green tea in a fifth, and in his sixth through eighth some cappuccino. So mugs come in really handy.
Price: $12.99
Stuff to put on Squidoo Rectangle Magnet
As you may know, Birthday Squid has developed a bit of an addiction to Squidoo and is always jotting notes and collecting ads and ripping pages out of magazines as reminders for future lenses. Sticking them on the fridge or on his big, magnetic whiteboard is a great way not to lose track of them. So this magnet (or two or three or ten) would be very useful.
Price: $5.49
Baseball Jersey
Birthday Squid can just cut six more arm holes. No problem. He has to do this with all his shirts. And this is one he's had his eye on for a long time. He takes a size medium (for now, anyway).
Price: $20.99
Captain Squid Cap
Birthday Squid is planning to take up aqua golf, so he needs a spiffy white cap to round out his new set of duds to hit the fairways in style.
Price: $15.99
It's Squidoo Time Wall Clock
Squids need to know what time it is, too. Birthday Squid would love to have this for his office, where he creates all of his lenses.

Stretch a Squid to De-Stress
Stretchin' Squid Yo-Yo Stress Reliever Toy
Amazon Price: $3.50 (as of 05/31/2012)
The squid part has multi-colored legs that are smooth and stretchable. The yo-yo part lets you bounce the squid up and down. The Stretchin' Squid Yo-Yo is a lot of fun and can be extremely addictive to play with.
Remember just before Birthday Squid was born? This is his egg case. Aaaaawww!!

Soooo ... here's what comes up for "SQUID" today:
Need A Gift Registry Lens?
If you're not a Squidoo member but would like a gift registry lens created for yourself or someone else, I'd be very happy to set one up for you. For details, use the "Contact Me" link on my profile page and let me know.
There will be no charge for the lens (as long as it remains under my account). Why? Because I can earn my fee in two ways:
1. Traffic to the lens and click-outs to products and other websites increases the lens's ranking, and I can make a piece of the Squidoo pooled revenue pie that way, and...
2. I get a commission from any sale made through a Squidoo affiliate or my own affiliate links.
OR, if you'd like to make a gift registry lens and keep the extra income yourself (or donate it to charity or gift it to someone), then click here to get started! Squidoo is free and fun.
There's a learning curve, but this is a great community with lots of experienced lensmasters ready and willing to help. You can visit the SquidU forums to ask questions at any time.

A Lens Idea
Set Up A Gift Registry On Squidoo
I don't really know why I thought of this -- just had Squidoo on the brain, I guess -- but the idea of using Squidoo lenses as gift registries popped into...
Has This Squid Lost Her Marbles?
WAIT ... Don't Answer That.
This lens was partly just for fun. But I also wanted to demonstrate that Squidoo lenses can be used for gift registries, among a gazillion--rather, make that infinite--number of uses, reasons and topics.
If you have a comment OTHER than to tell me I'm a bit off my rocker (which is true), please leave it here.
