Home is where...No pants are. The snuggles happen. Wifi connects automatically. Your story began. The softspot is. Run. Base. Skillet. Fry. Improvement. Home is where you make it. Home is what you make it. Interestingly enough, we may have just made your home also. New home flags on the site now!

Repurposing. It's everywhere and it's awesome. It's 2016 and there is virtually nothing we haven't repurposed as a society. Grandmother's piano? Hope you don't play because it's now a shelf. You gonna use those extra drain pipes? Cool. I'm going to open a hotel. An empty 2 liter? New shoes! Penguin hats! THE FUTURE OF OPTICS! The possibilities are beautiful and infinite, but it's Friday so let's exploit them. WHAT YOU'RE WINNING: We have 5 care packages this week featuring the refined elegance of Standard Wax! These minimalist candles are A+ in the scent department and after the flame is gone, the ceramic containers provide a perfect home-accessory with utilitarian purpose! In their own words, "What started as simply making holiday gifts for friends has accidentally turned into our passion. What keeps us going? An obsession with unique scents, practical art, the idea of repurposing everyday goods and a ridiculous amount of beer." Bravo, you fine fine folks. Bravo. Each winner also gets a Freaker of their choice! HOW TO ENTER: Get on Instagram and show us what the word "repurpose" means to you with the hashtag #FreakerWax for your chance to win! Winners announced in our Tuesday newsletter!

The mayor of Charlotte talkin' shit to the mayor of Denver on CBS this morning, using our Cam socks as her mouth-cannon. GET IT J.ROBERTS, YOU'RE THE QUEEN OF QUEEN CITY. See the full trainwreck of glory here.

  Nicknames can be super fun. Until you're in love. Then, out of nowhere you're getting called "hottie poopsie smoo" by your favorite person - and even though you know they don't mean to call you "a burning pile of tiny shits" it still feels wrong. Romantic pet names are always weird and often inexplicable. Is is for that reason alone that we're hopping in a warm bath of smooki-mush poptart jujujiggles, with a little help from our friends... WHAT YOU'RE WINNING: We have 5 care packages this week featuring the luxury of The Soaking Tub! Responsibly sourced. Small batched. Uniquely crafted. Botanically-based. The Soaking Tub makes bath products with the care and quality that sets passionate small-businesses apart from prepackaged mass production. Each winner will get orange soy soaking salts, blood orange + rose bar soap, and a pair of Sugar Britches Freaker Feet socks! HOW TO ENTER: Get on Facebook, find this graphic, and leave a comment with the oddest romantic pet-name you've been called for your chance to win! Winners announced in our Tuesday newsletter!

GAH! Big thanks to USA Today for giving us a new claim to fame. Our Luke Kuechly socks beat 2Chainz' "Dabbin Santa" Sweater for the #1 spot on "what you should wear if you're pretending to be a Panther's Fan." Everybody can go home early today. (Except for you, 2Chainz. Back to work, buster.)

Whether you're fist-pumping for Peyton or Cam, we've got your feet-pumping covered. Stock up & get down, y'all!

Warning All: Valentines Day is fast approaching. Remember to take the necessary measures and/or precautions, depending on who you are as a person. If you're the type to spontaneously combust with triggers like "poopsy doodles snookums lover bunny," find a tornado shelter STAT. If you are the "snuggle sausage moo moo bear," find your human pet an appropriate gift or you will also end up in the tornado shelter. Are you neither? Are you both? Sugar Britches are still the sweetest treat in the feet fleet! Ladies and gentlemen, give a warm welcome to the newest member of the Freaker Feet Family... Sugar Britches!

The power of hugs is real. A genuine squeezy embrace can brighten the darkest of days. The only problem with good hugs is that you need a caring person in your immediate vicinity to give you one. What if you're stranded in Sibera?! What if you're surrounded by people without arms? Or even WORSE - jerks that don't use their arms for good? These are the hard-pressing issues of our time. The only solution? Learning how to share meaningful hugs with non-humans. We're here to help. WHAT YOU'RE WINNING: We have 5 care packages this week featuring the handmade wonders of Owl Ridge Farmstead! Owl Ridge is a real-life fairytale about a husband and wife dream-team living in the Blue Ridge Mountains, hand-making quality items from natural ingredients. Because they can. And they love it. And they're sweet and perfect and this is what small business IS at it's purest core. (Plus, it doesn't hurt that they're super-duper good at what they do.) Le sigh... America, we love you deeply. We have a handknit wool watch-cap, a leather wallet, pumpkin spice candle, antler tip necklace, and leather wrapped copper cuff all up for grabs. Each prize is a loving embrace passed down from the makers. All winners also get a Hedge Hug Freaker! HOW TO ENTER: Get on Instagram and show us a non-human thing (ANYTHING!) that you want a hug from. Use the hashtag #FreakerFarm for your chance to win! Winners announced in our Tuesday newsletter!
