I Love Your Letters!!!

I just received a great letter from Dave, and wanted to share it with you all. -BD

TO: Bean Daddy

Dear Mr. Daddy,

Growing up, I had never had jumping beans. A friend of mine had some in the 3rd grade. I never got any.

For Valentines Day, my new, very good friend, Pam, gave me some beans. She ordered your “ten in a tin” family. We received 12. “the boys” we call them, but they all have names: Evan, Freedom, Conrad, Marley, Arvin, Ben, Donovan, Harvey, Indigo, Zydico, Stephen and Larry.

They spend their morning, in the tin with the lid off, on my desk. As they wake up, wipe the sleep from their eyes and look around, I move them, one by one, into the lid.

Harvey was “the big guy”. He jumped first and for a few days, was the first up and jumpin’ round.

Freedom was a little less motivated. In fact, he never moved much at all. I suspect this was from the hole in the side of his bean….hence the name.

Indigo and Conrad turned out to be the most consistent, jumping nearly every day. They got a lot of “lid time”. In fact, one day, Conrad jumped right out of the tin. I believe he was trying to make it to the lid on his own.

Marley, Stephen and Larry were all late bloomers, but always got in the game.

Evan, Arvin and Ben are a little less active. They may be more of the book worm type.

I worried about Donovan and Zydico. I wondered if they’d ever amount to anything.

I played music for them. Creedence Clearwater Revival. Bob Marley… they seemed to like it all. We had a bit of a scare after a swimming incident. Everyone seemed a bit too relaxed.

Too relaxed, until they went to spend the day on Pam’s desk, in the Procurement Dept. Everyone (well, except for Freedom) was bustin’ a move.

Now, we look forward to them starting their short, mothy lives. Wondering what they’ll do, where they’ll go.

We’ll keep you posted.


Thank you Mr. Daddy,

Dave

BEANS ARE BACK ! ! ! ! !

The Beans are BACK! I get so excited this time of year, it has been since last April and I get to missing the sound of little jumpers around the house! This year's crop looks expecially good, they are fresh from Mexico and have a great color and "jump." We are looking forward to an especially good year, and we look forward to hearing from YOU! Take good care, have a safe summer, and let us hear from you real soon.

Beandaddy!

Waiting for the New Beans to Arrive.

Hi Folks, we are currently out of stock of mexican jumping beans, but will soon be looking forward to the 2008 season which will start in late July or early August, barring no complications due to Mother Nature.
Beans may be available in March IF an early crop is harvested, if it is, you can be sure we will have them and you will be able to order them.
I am really amazed at how many people found us this past year. Keep those e-mail coming, I love to hear about your experiences and to get those bean pictures. Thanks so much for your wonderful support.
Sincerely, Beandaddy

Travelin' Beans

My boyfriend and I love pets, but travel a lot. Recently an amazing friend of ours gave us 5 beans as a present. Those beans (Chewy, Michael, Brian, Walter and Shaun Jr. – all boys) have changed our lives tremendously. Glad to hear it is ok to keep them in a drawer at night especially. The first night or two was a little rough. - Rocio & Shaun

Fresh Beans are Here

Hi Folks, we had a strange labor day this year. Early in the morning I awoke to find my e-mail box overflowing with new orders, the result of a TV show about Jumping Beans. Well, within about 3 days we sold out, with no new beans in sight, it was a great day, and a bad day all at the same time.

Fortunately, we have located some fresh new beans available for you. We should be stocked up fine until Christmas. If you tried to order before but could not, we are sorry, but please try again, we have lots of fresh beans looking for a new home!

Best regards, Beandaddy

BEANS ARE HERE, THE BEANS ARE HERE!

Hi Everyone, we are back, and so are the beans. This years shipment of beans are just about as frisky as I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot of beans! : )
Our shipment just arrived today, and we expect to have a lot of orders right away, which we will fill as soon as possible. Please allow a little extra time in filling these first orders (about 10-14 days).
We have loved the great letters and photos you have sent us, please keep them coming.
Best wishes, -Beandaddy

Hey BeanDaddy, remember me? (see video link at bottom)

You sent my husband and I a whole deluxe bean pack, and totally made our YEAR? Well by the time I finally got home, the beans didn't appear to be alive anymore, and I was DEVISTATED. Today my hubby and I were cleaning the house, and I said "I just don't get it. They HAVE to be alive!" and I sat down on the couch, held them in my hands, pouted, and gave them a little shake. My husband looked at me pittifully and said "Aww, baby, you can order some more! It's ok!" but I just didn't believe that they'd die THAT fast. I pouted at my husband again, ready to admit defeat and toss my precious beans into the garbage, when one wiggled! I squealed and held out my hand to my husband, who was convinced that I was seeing things. But then another popped! AND ANOTHER! My husband went and grabbed another tin of 10 and held them, but his wouldn't jump. I said "I think I have the magic touch...lemme see 'em." and sure enough, they started hopping around too! Eventually, we had all 30 beans hopping about, and I was just THRILLED! I knew they just needed a little lovin'! :)
Anyway, we put them near a table lamp, and they got REALLY active! We thought they were so cute, that we took a little video of them. Feel free to post it on your website, watch it and toss it, or whatever you want. Thanks again- we love our beans SO much!

Here is Lindsey's video of the beans. (requires quicktime plugin)

Dear Beandaddy,

I had an order for the beans. My mom emailed you under her name, Valerie. I just wanted to tell you my beans came safe. I am also thrilled about your website, I'll spread the beans!
Your fan,
KC

Dear Beandaddy

Lovin our beans and enjoying life.
