HEY GANG!
The votes are in. They've been counted, recounted, and given to somebody more mathematically gifted than myself to count again!!!
Without further delay...the winner of the Tuck Election 2016 is.....
THE KICKSTARTER PARTY!
That's right gang. Call it media bias if you'd like...but the home team won it out! While the Kickstarter Party was a big favorite...we are still a little ways from it being unlocked! So please, if you voted, share our campaign to whoever you can and make sure you're snuggling in your favorite color combo this winter.
Take 10-20 seconds to bring Tuck to all your favorite tuckers, kickers, and tweeners and help get the Kickstarter exclusive edition made at our 50k stretch goal!
The Wolfy party came in a close second...losing only by a couple votes. Since you guys were so awesome about it...we decided to take a memeable photo of it anyway!
Wolfy Party seeing the results like...
Thank all of you backers for participating and interacting with us throughout this fun little poll. One of the reasons we brought Tuck to Kickstarter was so we can get to know our supporters' personalities and preferences and share some of our own in the process. It was really cool seeing how many of you embraced that.
As usual, we'll have another update for you guys next Tuck Tuesday. Until then, enjoy your weekends and check out some of these other Kickstarter campaigns that we think are pretty awesome.
ZEROHOUR IGNITE is an ultra-compact everyday carry flashlight with a built in, rechargable micro-USB port. It a perfect replacement for lackluster cell-phone light, and it's available in matte black aluminum, matte titanium, or polished titanium. At only 3.38", IGNITE is one of the smallest and brightest pocket flashlights available.
As you know - we at PocketChange love making your feet cozy. So, naturally, this fluffy shoe insole by Kickstarter born brand, Honey Soles, stood out for our backers. These cozy Bear Soles ship THIS winter and can keep your feet warm when the Tuck isn't!!! Check out their campaign here.
We enjoy our yoga over here at PocketChange Designs...and some member's of our team are even experienced teachers! For that reason, we know that current yoga mats don't give the grip some of us need...especially during the sweaty hot yoga classes. Luckily, Grippz Mats fix that while being waterproof and providing the benefits of acupressure in the process. If you're interested, check it out here!
Hope all is well, amigos. Until next time!!!

Tuck Tuesday: Election Edition

Happy Tuck Tuesday Tuckers, Kickers, and Tweeners!!!
I hope you all are having an amazing day. For those of you living in the good ol' U. S. of A., I hope you have avoided as much political tension as you possibly could. I thought that, to lighten the mood, we'd have a vote that wouldn't make you lose Facebook friends. That's right, homies, it is now time for.....
Well look what we have here, gang.
It's a 4 party system...and they all have an equal shot at the title of President Tuck! Whichever one wins the vote takes over as the color on our cover photo. We know that doesn't seem like much political power...but at least we'll have a Tuck to blame if things go wrong!
To vote, just comment down below where your party allegiance is and we will tally them up and change our cover photo tomorrow. Just please don't get in a Facebook showdown with your Uncle over it!
No Booth Necessary!
In Other News...
Some Tucks are alread being manufactured and we are still working our hardest to get the Tucks shipped our way within the next two weeks. Just a head's up - If they arrive during the Christmas rush, there is a chance the port will close down and make us pay blanket storage fees. We are trying to avoid this at all costs (pun always intended) That being said, we are working to get them here before that happens and will keep you all updated in the meantime.
IT'S SO FLUFFY!
While we're getting there, make sure to keep sharing the campaign. We still haven't reached our 50k or 100k funding goals, so the Kickstarter and PocketChange parties are in need of funding. Take ten seconds and ROCK THE VOTE to make sure these promising young blankets have a chance to stand up against the two party system (and be in your bedroom this winter).
While you're here, check out some other campaigns we love!
Backed by a lifetime warranty, our friends at Amabilis have created the toughest duffle bag on the planet! It's perfect for the gym, travel or any EDC adventure. They still have "Early Bird" pricing so check out their project now - CLICK HERE to find out more.

Until Next Time, Gang! Cheers!

Stretch goals, Updated Prototypes, and More!

Happy Tuck Tuesday, gang!!!
We hope you had an amazing Halloween! We, unsurprisingly, went with a theme from a galaxy far, far away over at the PocketChange HQ. Needless to say...the warmth was strong with us...even if the youngsters didn't recognize the "old school" outfits!
We Shot First!!!
We hope all of you badass backers had an amazing one as well! If you have any awesome costumes, then please share them in your update comments! Halloween is one of our favorite things and we love seeing what cool costumes people think up!
Overall, it has been a busy week since our last chat and we got the latest batch of prototypes from our manufacturing partner! While there were still a few aesthetic kinks that we needed to work out before starting the full order, the quality of the fabric and functionality of the Tuck were exactly what we were hoping for... AKA: Redonkulously Cozy.
Know that we are NOT settling on anything and that our primary focus is, and will always be, getting you the best Tuck that we possible can.
And man...they are SO soft!!! You can practically feel it from the picture. For those still wondering about the fabric details - Tuck is made from a 230-250 GSM coral fleece, which is 100% polyester. In non-manufacturer terms - it is the softest, warmest possible fleece we could find that is not only anti-pill...but also anti-shed and anti-cling.
It took several rounds of trial-and-error to get here but we are pumped about where the quality is at. We know you will be too, and are so excited to get this product into your hands and homes!
Since getting the samples, they have undergone some comfort testing to make sure they are as Tuckin' awesome as we advertised. As you can see below...they passed with flying colors! They are absolutely perfect for snacking, napping, snuggling, and working on chilly mornings!
One Tuck...Endless Possibilities
What else is new?
If you have not checked out the campaign page recently, we added some more stretch goals including Stickers for Errbody and a new PocketChange Edition Color Scheme!!! There are more planned for the future including a color scheme designed by you, the backers, a Tuck Jingle, and a new type of Tuck (ooooh mysterious)....but we have to jump these hurdles together first!
So please, if you love this product, click one of our share buttons, talk about it with your favorite folks, and continue spreading the good Tuckin' word! The more people that pledge...the more options you'll have at checkout... and the more the world will be improved in the process.
In the meantime, check out some of our other favorite campaigns that are currently live. We partnered up with these awesome creators and couldn't be more thrilled to be working with other innovative start ups!
The Undress, creators of the most popular and fashionable mobile changing room, has launched a Kickstarter campaign for its newest product for men: the world’s first portable changing room that converts into a backpack! The exciting new product, called The Undercover, is an innovative, unisex changing room that converts into a multi-use backpack. It's built for all athletes, adventurers and everyone in between...and we highly recommend you to check them out.
Dash Wallets is back again, this time with a slim bifold, perfect for keeping your everyday carry organized and minimal. The sleek design offers some pretty cool features like a quick access slot for your favorite card, room for cash, and extra storage for cards. Designed with you in mind, we highly suggest you take a minute to check them out HERE.
Stubl is the first blade for everyday stubble maintenance and the first of its kind. It is a fully integrated razor featuring a handle and replaceable blade men will find familiar. What makes Stubl unique is a proprietary cap design that is available in three different gauges (.45mm, .85mm and 1.25mm) depending on your desired length of shave. While the stubble-look is popular, managing the 5 o’clock shadow can be a hassle. The folks at Stubl want to make it easy!
Cheers Friends! May your week be as awesome as you are!!!

WOW. Thank you! We're Tuckin' Funded!!!

Well, gang….we don’t know what to say.
Waking up and looking at the phone this morning like...
Waking up this morning (On a Tuck Tuesday, no-less!) and being 110% funded was a feeling that words just can't describe. We could ramble on and on about how grateful we are...but you humbled us and made us near speechless. So....we took a page out of our middle school romance playbook and expressed our feelings in a super cheesy, Mr. Deeds-like poem.
I know, I know - cheesy was a bit of an understatement...but we figured it'd keep things interesting! While that poem was a bit jokey, the message is important. You backers have done so much more than just back our product.
You've validated all the hard work for dubious pay and the long mornings on the sewing machine.
You've shown us that following this offbeat path toward our dream was a risk that was definitely worth the outcome.
And last, but certainly not least, you have proven to us how magical of a place Kickstarter is. We are so humbled and thrilled to be here. Thank you a million times over. We are working on some ways not just to say it, but to show it....so stay tuned ;)
So...what's next???
Stretch goals... that's what! Our first stretch goal, as you all know, is our Kickstarter Exclusive color scheme. It will be unlocked at 50k in funding. That is just the first, though. We are working on some more that will be covered in an update later on this week.
There is still a lot of campaign left, so we'd rather do them right and give you guys some awesome new stuff than do them fast!
Only available for Kickstarter Backers!
So - in the meantime - if you're interested in more Tuckin' extras: please continue sharing this campaign online, chatting about it with your friends and coworkers, and bringing in more people that Give a Tuck. It helps a lot and we are so excited to see the difference all of it can make this winter.
A moment of celebration...ok we're good...now we're headed back to work!
Cheers and Happy Tuck Tuesday! Until next time, gang!

When people bring up the campaign...
The State of the Tuck Address
over 7 years ago
– Sat, Oct 22, 2016 at 08:47:18 PM
Hello Tuckers, Kickers, and Tweeners!
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. At this point we are 2/3rds of the way to our funding goal, and that is all because of you amazing people and your early faith in this project. Your pledges, shares, Tuck talk, and love for this idea are what make everything possible.
For those of you that just hopped on the Tuck Train - welcome aboard and choo-choo! We are SO stoked to have you guys here for this journey and to know that all of you will be warming your winter in a Tuck. I hope you all had a great week and are enjoying the start to your weekend! It has been an action packed few days, so naturally, we want to address a few of your comments and messages, and have some important updates to share!
So, what is going on?
We have been working tirelessly to get the Tuck to you awesome backers ASAP. Thankfully, we have the secret to staying comfy...
This week, besides launching the campaign and spreading the good Tuckin' word, we finalized our manufacturer's sample and officially put in an order for our first shipment!
In doing so, we have addressed some of your shipping concerns and asked for the order to be shipped in multiple sections - as they're manufactured. Avoiding the bulk shipment strategy will add a little extra cost on our end, but it is the best option.
If all goes according to the master plan (mu-hu-hahaha) - manufacturing and shipping simultaneously will get you lovely folks binging, sleeping, and snuggling up with a Tuck this holiday season. We have one goal...and it is simple: To get the Tuck out to a group of amazing people that need it, and to make it so amazingly comfortable that they let out a huge, glorious "ahhhhh" as soon as they're wrapped up in it.
Some local supporters have stopped by PocketChange HQ this week to try out the Tuck...and that is exactly the reaction we got. SCORE!
^This Seinfeld classic pretty much sums up our pre-Tuck dilemma.
All in all, we just can't thank you early backers enough. You believed in this project from square one, and it inspires us to create the best Tuck experience possible. Every morning we wake up totally thrilled to work on this. It is an indescribable feeling having more of you come on the Tuck Train to make sure this product and project are ACAP (as cozy as possible). So...the more comments = the better!
Ahhh "The Old Ben" - how you have improved our mornings!
Thank you all for continuing to share us, talk about us with your favorite tuckers, and add on these charitable rewards. This is a community of great, generous people...and it is growing rapidly. We couldn't feel any luckier to have you guys!
Hope you all are having an un-tuckin-believable day. Until next time.
