ADMINISTRATIVE PROFESSIONALS DAY IS WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27! WE HAVE CARDS!

So, pretty much every day is something, and by that we mean there’s a holiday (unofficial or otherwise) or other type of observance pretty much every day on the calendar year.

And on Wednesday, April 27, it’s Administrative Professionals Day. This is the day to celebrate the unsung heroes of the workplace, the receptionists, admins and other professionals who typically have to deal with the dogpile of duties that no one else in the office wants to deal with.

We have cards for these heroes here at The Record Exchange. Nice cards. Cards that say, “You’ve been doing nice things around the office, and we’ve been noticing.” We also have all kinds of great gift ideas in The Record Exchange Gift Shop if you really want to show them that you’ve been noticing.

Record Store Day is still a few days away, but The Record Exchange already has Record Store Day tees in stock!

And this year, we have not just one color, but two colors: purple for the ladies (pictured above) and navy blue for the lads. Sizes? S-XL women’s, S-2XL men’s.

We’re pretty excited that the shirts are here, because that means we can start wearing them. And you, dear customer, can buy one in advance and wear it on the big day — seriously, it’s totally acceptable and not one of those look-at-the-douchebag-who-wore-his-Metallica-shirt-to-the-Metallica-concert things. It’s a badge of honor yo.

Thanks to the persistence of one chapped Record Exchange staffer, the RX Gift Shop once again carries Yu-Be, the top-selling medicated, vitamin-enriched skin cream in Japan!

Invented in 1957 by Japanese pharmacist Yoshikiyo Nowatari, Yu-Be (pronounced “YOO-BEE”) is a Glycerin-based moisturizing cream enriched with Vitamin E, Vitamin B2 and Camphor.

Seriously, this stuff is amazing. The first Japanese woman to summit Mt. Everest wore Yu-Be around her neck on the climb. Magazines from Cosmo to Alternative Press have sung Yu-Be’s praises. Rachael Ray says, “My skin stays super smooth, especially during the chilly months, with Yu-Be …”
