The husband and wife team of the Converso's from Loves Park, Illinois, have capitalized on one of today's hottest trends - social networking.  They launched Fakebookshop.com, a unique and trendy online store.  The site which bills itself as the official "unofficial" headquarters for spoof Fakebook logo products, sells T-shirts and other neat stuff.  Items include caps, mugs, water bottles, totes, teddy bears, pet bowls, and even baby clothes.

Since 2009 has emerged as the year of social networking, a Fakebook apparel gift is sure to be welcomed by anyone with a sense of humor who is hooked on the real Facebook or lives with someone who is.

Love it or hate it, Facebook is here.  So why not at least get a spoof Fakebook T-shirt or give it to someone you know?  Prices start at under $10 for a 100% cotton, Value T-shirt.  There is no additional cost for standard slogan imprints, which include:  "Because it's all about ME," "Stay Alert, Cougar Crossing," and "I met my EX on.....Fakebook." 

All products carry a 30-day, money back guarantee.

The idea says Lonna Converso, "came from my interest in the popular social networking site and my husband's dislike of it.  It was fun to work together and create humor in something that seems to be a popular......jump on the bandwagon trend right now."

The spoof Fakebook items are fun and make great gifts for any time of the year.  And, the gift are great for:

.  people you've friended on Facebook
.  people you've defriended on Facebook
.  your Facebook-obsessed partner or spouse, sister, dad, aunt, brother, uncle
.  people you haven't seen since elementary school or high school
.  your faithful canine companion

All in all, the Converso's are having fun with their idea.  And, hopefully will see some returns with the holiday season approaching.
