| Welcome
to the official community page of our site! We often receive praise for
what a great job we are doing and while we appreciate the rave reviews,
it's important to us to share the glory with those who contribute to our
success. Mad Gabs is a 14 year journey that began by chance and it thrives
because of all the folks who believe in us and help us live by our missions
and values. We work with many wonderful businesses and nonprofits; here
is a sampling of our extended family. |

| We met Eric and his
ultra-hip family just after they moved to Maine from Brooklyn, NY. Clicking
instantly, we have since worked with Eric on label layouts, catalog design,
signage and other design projects. Eric's talent, humor and love of politics
make each meeting a real experience and each product launch a wonderful
collaborative effort. |

We met Susan in 2004
when we were redesigning our packaging from elephants and cartoons to
the whimsical, artistic look most of our products now carry. Susan's talent
with brush, color and lines has helped us capture the spirit of Mad Gabs
in a truly unique and beautiful way! Keep an eye out for our latest collaboration
with Susan...due in January 2006.

Working with developmentally
challenged adults, Community Partners has been bringing a team of workers
(and a job coach) to Mad Gabs since 1998. Together with our in-house production
crew they complete the finishing stage of production: labeling, shrink
wrapping, and assembling gift sets. The work they do is valuable and essential
to getting our products out the door! We are proud to provide paid work
for these very capable and fun-loving folks.

We went to Ethos in December
of 2003 after it was clear that folks loved our products and our playful
approach, but our message was unclear. Who is Mad Gabs? Who are our customers?
Why? What are we trying to say with our packaging? We worked with a handful
of people from Ethos to not only find answers to these questions, but to
find our way to a new look. We re-launched the Mad Gab's brand in August
of 2004 and it has been overwhelmingly received!
