The beauty of the holidays is the joy in which we choose to partake, as we momentarily suspend our cynicism to embrace the magic of the season with child-like wonder. And as we nurture that inner child, let us remember that nothing ignites a child’s imagination like Legos and dinosaurs. But we are still adults—and nothing ignites an adult’s imagination like a good toke. Now, close your eyes and imagine a world where we can put all those elements together (minus the children). Did you imagine the Smoke-a-Saurus ReX from Big Pipe? Because you should have. The Smoke-a-Saurus is a build-your-own metal pipe kit that comes with all the parts and fully illustrated instructions to build your own smokeable dinosaur, organized in a brilliantly branded 14-compartment lidded tray for maximum convenience. At only $49.99, it’s perfectly priced to please that inner child without breaking your grown-up bank.

Ten seconds. That's all it takes for a customer to lose interest and your cart size to shrink. It is not that your customers don't know how to focus; rather, they have many things competing for their attention.
Nick Gary, founder of IGU Global, calls it a growing impatience for uncertainty. According to Nick, customers will stay in the store if it's answering their needs.
