Pin & Win with Pinterest
Here at BlueCyborg.com we love discovering new things on the internet. Recently there’s been no better place to discover things than Pinterest.
Pinterest is a quite new social network for sharing pictures of stuff you love. Pictures are arranged in pin boards and people can see and follow your public pin boards. You can also like or repin other people’s pins so you can grow your collection of stuff you love.
To celebrate our love of Pinterest, we’re giving away one of our best selling bottle necklaces, “Jar of Flumps“. To win all you need to do is repin the image shown on this page from our Pin & Win Pinterest Board. On the last day of the month, if we’ve had over 50 repins we’ll select a lucky repinner at random who will win a Jar of Flumps Necklace.
Pinterest is currently invite only, If you don’t have a Pinterest account, don’t worry simply leave a comment below and we’ll be happy to invite you (make sure your email is valid!)

Pancake Day!
Today is pancake day, which, obviously, celebrates that day in 1407 when Sir Pancake did slain a dragon using only lemons (and a little sprinkle of sugar).
Sir Pancake had planned to fight the dragon on the Monday, but after a heavy night in the local tavern he woke on the local harlot’s floor, with no memory or indeed pants so decided to put it off till Tuesday.
The fight between Sir Pancake and the dragon was fierce and lasted many hours. After getting his sword caught in a tree it looked like Sir Pancake was done for, but quick thinking (or maybe a trip and a stumble) he squirted lemon in the dragons eyes, unable to see the dragon tripped over a cliff to it’s death.
The villagers rejoiced and cooked a feast to celebrate. The feast consisted of batter mix spread on a hotplate as the dragon had eaten all the fish earlier that month, which the batter was intended for, this cooked batter was hence forth called pancakes and often eaten with a squirt of lemon.
True Story.
Happy Valentines Day
We hope you’re loved up this valentines day, or, single and loving it.
Of course it’s not the heart shaped chocolates or flowers you give today that counts, that’s just something you have to do to make sure you’re not denied sex for the rest of the year.
What really counts, and turns that sex into great sex, is the gifts you give the rest of the year, the unexpected ones.
We sell a whole range of great items that would make great random gifts for your loved ones, or indeed for yourself, and our products are priced just right, so your other half doesn’t think your cheap, but at the same time doesn’t think you weren’t really working late last night.
How It Started, And The Future
It’s no secret, we sell stuff that we would love to buy, in fact that’s how it all started. When buying from abroad, the postage is often more expensive than the product, so a group of us would buy together to make it worth while. Every now and again we would get a couple more items “for luck” which we put on eBay, eventually BlueCyborg.com was born.
We’re now at the point where we’re starting to make our own stuff, over the last few months we’ve been playing with wax, poly clay, soap, vinyl, and resin. We’re pretty clear about some of the things we’re going to be making and selling in the store, mainly due to the fact we want geeky and retro charms around our necks, and we thought it would be good to hear what you guys would like.
If there’s anything you can think of that you would like us to make, we would love to hear from you, if it’s something we think we can make, we will. If you have a great idea, which we think will sell well, we’ll even do it for you at a fraction of what we would be looking to sell it in the store as a thanks for finding something great.
Over 160 New Designs Added
We’ve just added over 160 new designs of navel and tongue bars including hearts, bunnys, stars and skulls.
Our stock system is pretty good, so if you see something you like on our shop, and it’s not marked as sold out, then it’s in stock and can be through your door in a couple of days at most.
In most cases we only stock one or two of each design, so if you spot one you like grab it quick before someone else does.

Checkout Bug Fixed
When adding new features to our site we failed to notice a bug which resulted in the checkout not showing you what you have ordered or how much we will be charging you, although this didn’t put everyone off completing the cart, and orders have still come to us without problems, it has understandably put a number of people off completing the checkout process.
We would like to apologise to everyone who has experienced problems, we know how fustrating it is to pick out items you want and then not be able to get them!
We have now rectified the problem and service will resume as normal.
Improved Product Photography
When we added our range of body jewellery our photos were, well pretty rubbish, customers looking through our jewellery catalogue must have found it impossible to imagine what the products will look like if they ordered.
A professional photographer was somewhat out of the question due to our prices being as low as possible. Fortunately after a bit of research, the interweb showed us how to get the most out of our camera and with a bit of trial, error and tinkering, we’ve come up with some much better photos which give you a much better idea of what our jewellery looks like in the flesh (pardon the pun).
