We’re celebrating the birthday of our most beloved mascot and best friend. If it weren’t for the little guy, we all wouldn’t be as inspired to come up with great ideas like PLAY and SHOP. Yes, he may be a little rambunctious, but it’s only because he’s full of love. It’s Odyss who keeps begging us to give double PTZ to you all, just yesterday, we caught him stuffing envelopes full of Odyss iPhone skins and sending them off to Arkansas, Japan and a whole bunch of places in between. We’re all eating cupcakes to celebrate the b-day of Odyss, and we’re pretty sure his next year is going to be even better. Get a little bit of the Odyss charm for yourself right here. And keep watching this space for more of his treats!
Summer’s almost here and Lockerz has everything you need for the heat — including a free iPod for you to bring along as you soak up rays or hit the road. How to get it? All you have to do is let us know what you love on SHOP. Check out our online boutique and send us a tweet with the one item you need. Must have. Desire. Obsess Over. Swoon For. Etc. One winner will get this stylish iPod, as ready for the beach as you are.
Here’s what you need to do to win:
1. Be a Twitter member.
4. We will announce the winners of the iPod giveaway on Monday May 10.

Send us a great idea for the list and Odyss on a T could be yours!
So get to Tweeting and you could soon be starting your Spring off with the coolest watch around. Surf, swim, or just keep track of how many PTZ you’re racking up per minute.
