1056.0. "SANTA IN FRAMINGHAM/NATICK" by STOWOA::SPERA () Mon Nov 27 1995 11:15

    Just fyi...there is a great Santa (real beard) at the Natick Mall but
    he's there only early in the day. Photos are 7.49 or 3 for $15.
    
    Across route 30 at the Framingham Mall, Santa photos are 2 for $5 I
    think. There were no lines yesterday late afternoon.

1056.1Anyone been to Searstown?TARKIN::VAILLANCOURTMon Nov 27 1995 14:594
    Anyone know if there's a Santa yet at the Searstown Mall in Leominster?
    
    Also wondering if there's one of those places open yet that takes the
    kids pictures and puts them on mugs or calendars or shirts?
1056.2Santa's at SearstownRDVAX::VONCAMPEMon Nov 27 1995 15:063
    I saw Santa at the Searstown Mall on Friday.

1056.3Put yer mug on a mugALFA2::PEASLEEMon Nov 27 1995 15:324
    There is a cart in the Worcester Fashion Outlet Mall that does mugs 
    and calenders, not sure if they do T-shirts.

1056.4More locations for mugs and t-shirts...APSMME::PENDAKpicture packin' mommaTue Nov 28 1995 13:0811
    There are also carts that do mugs, t-shirts, calendars, sweatshirts
    (etc.) in the Pheasant Lane Mall and Nashua Mall (both in Nashua, NH)
    and the Mall of New Hampshire (in Manchester, NH).  I noticed the one
    at the Mall of New Hampshire also scanned in photo's to put on cards
    (the folded ones with the message inside, not the ones where you
    basically get an extended photo with a message beside the picture).
    
    Looks like Aaron will be giving mugs filled with Hugs and Kisses
    (Hershey's of course) to his aunts, uncles, and grandparents!

1056.5photo cart in Natick MallSTOWOA::SPERATue Nov 28 1995 13:341
    Natick Mall has a cart doing shirts, mugs, etc.
1056.6Ones that take the pictures?TARKIN::VAILLANCOURTTue Nov 28 1995 16:427
    I've seen a couple of the carts that do the mugs, etc (saw one
    at the Framingham mall where Filene's basement is), but what I'm
    really looking for is a place that actually takes the picture
    for you right then and there, and then puts them on 'something'
    for you.  I've seen them a few places at the holidays in previous
    years, and it seems like it would save the headache of trying to
    take that 'good' picture for you.  
1056.7Nashua or Manchester New Hampshire cartsAPSMME::PENDAKpicture packin' mommaWed Nov 29 1995 11:189
    The carts in NH (Nashua Mall, Mall of New Hampshire, Pheasant Lane
    Mall) will either take a picture that you bring in, scan it into their
    system manipulate it (crop it or whatever) and produce the mug from
    that or they will take the picture while your there (plain white back
    ground or if it's a little bitty person you can use your
    stroller/carrier so you won't have to move him or her).  Is this what
    you're looking for???

1056.8no taxes..TARKIN::VAILLANCOURTWed Nov 29 1995 15:014
    re .7
    Yes, this is exactly what I meant...thanks for the info,
    looks like we'll be making another trip to Pheasant lane
    if they don't show up at Searstown!
1056.9think he's in NatickSTOWOA::SPERAFri Dec 01 1995 14:382
    The guy I saw at the Natick mall can scan in pictures but would prefer 
    you take the kid to have the picture taken.
1056.10Mouse pads, too!USOPS::HAVEYFri Dec 01 1995 14:517
    
    
     At the one at the Natick Mall, they also have Mouse Pads that
     you can have your child's picture imprinted on.  Nice idea for
     the office!

1056.11For doting Grandpas...WNRWHO::WOODSMon Dec 04 1995 07:496
    I haven't seen anyone mention this, but we had Connor's picture put on
    baseball caps that he gave to his Grandpas last year for Father's day. 
    They love to wear the hats and have told us they get compliments
    whenever they wear the hat.

1056.12Found themTARKIN::VAILLANCOURTThu Dec 07 1995 11:137
    Went to Pheasant Lane on Sunday, Got mugs made...
    they also had t-shirts, calendars, mouse pads, hats,
    picture frames... and the price is the same whether you
    have them take the picture or bring your own.
    
    Does anyone know if they come around again at Mothers Day/
    Fathers day timeframe? (I liked .11 idea for fathers day!)
1056.13DECWIN::MCCARTNEYThu Dec 07 1995 11:355
    The cart has been in Pheasant Lane full time for a couple of years. 
    I'm pretty sure they'll be there for Mother's/Father's day.

1056.14At Pheasant Lane all year.APSMME::PENDAKpicture packin' mommaThu Dec 07 1995 13:055
    The last owners only showed up on certain "holidays" but in talking to
    the new folks they plan to stay open all year if they get enough
    business.
