I have a special love for exclamation marks. I use them so much because most of the time I'm super excited!
My awesome friend Tyler noticed that I put an exclamation mark after every sentence in my emails. So yesterday he stopped by and built me the best present ever....a giant button just for an exclamation mark!
I just plug it into my laptop, press the fun giant button and it types the mark right on the screen. It makes being excited even more exciting!
( yes, my head is currently exploding )
So just remember this image. This is probably what I'll look like every time I write a new blog post or email from now on.
We were talking about possibly making a bunch of these fun buttons together and selling them. If you had your very own button what would it be of? I think a heart would be adorable!

Mine would be "Haha." I'm always laughing!
mine would be :D
A heart def! I love that! How fun! :)
Love, Makay
oh a heart would be perfect for me... I always make little hearts when I'm writing someone...or a dot..because...I...mean...you..never...can...have..enough...awkward...silences :D
what a good friend- that is a pretty sick button!!!!
i love that! soo perfect!
I want one of those! :O I'd like one that does a ':|' as it'd make life easier :D
A heart would be adorable!
ARGH, I totally want one too! I can totally imagine slapping the button in a righteous manner when I've written an exclamatory sentence, exclamation point!
OH that is just tooo awesome and sweet! I too use exclamation marks probably a bit too much! LOl!
That and LOL and :)
Wow. Just. Wow!
Truly, that is a marvel to behold!!! :)
possibly the coolest thing ever!!!!!!

I would want a heart, or an exclamation point, or a smiley!! :D I use them all a lot <3
@ stacy- Totally! It sort of feels like I'm giving a high five every time I hit it after writing an excited sentence, ha!
What a great gift!! I always put so many exclamation marks, this is such a lovely idea!
From Carys of La Ville Inconnue
It would be a 'haha' or a :), for sure!
omgggg, i want one!
That's an awesome friend right there. And a wicked cool present!
I use exclamation points quite a bit, too. I am aware that I do and sometimes try to cut back. However, they are very expressive, if not always proper punctuation, especially when several are used in a row. I'd go for a punctuation mark button!!!
aahhh!! Of course it'd be ♥ !!! ahahahaha XD
that's really an awesome gift!
you should definitely venture into making oversized buttons!
can i please have one of those? I will even buy one if you can't just gift them. that seriously is the greatest thing EVER!!! oh i could have just used it three times right there! And again! Oh so prime.
Ahahaha I love this! And that last image of you is too precious :)
I would definently want one with a heart! I'm always making little hearts like this: ♥ ♥ ♥ It's so cute!
~ Morgan
You should have a contest and give those away! You could have people say how they wanted to personalize it and everything! ♥
~ Morgan
So creative!! I feel ya about the exclamation marks though - I get way excited about so many things! PASSION! It makes life fun :)
WOW! He made that?! That is awesome! I would want mine to have the smiley face emoticon. :-) Because sometimes (okay...a lot of the time) a smile face makes everything better. :-)
ampersand- is that how & is spelled?
I don't even know you in person and I know that this is the perfect gift for you! You should have a whole board of smiley faces, hearts, and exlamation points to play like an instrument while you write!
1. You have cool friends.
2. I also have a love of exclamation points and wrote up a whole post about it on my blog.
3. My post was not as cool because I do not have one of those fancy boxes! <-- Just for you! :)
My button would be the biggest smile you could think of. I'm always laughing and smiling. And a smiley is the one I use the most! :-)
This is the most adorable thing ever! Pressing shift + 1 isn't as fun as having a huge button! It's like an easy button or something! Too cool! :D
I'm with DT on the :-) I use that SO often it's crazy. I noticed it once while IM-ing with a friend and I said, "I'm just writing another line, so I can end it with a :-)"
A smiley face would be so cute!
This is so cool! Clearly needs to be done in a heart
stars please and maybe a thumbs up?
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! really nice
Love it!!! I'd have to have the exclamation mark too. What a blast to write a sentence, the slam the button like a buzzer in jepordy (sp??)!!!!
Oh. My. Goodness. I would buy one of these in a heartbeat! And it would definitely be the exclamation point - can't get enough of those!
Mine would be a combination "?!" button. Something to represent the feeling of "What the heck?!" because there are weird freaking things on the internet.
yes! i need an ampersand. : )
@Crystal- It's totally feels like a buzzer in Jeopardy! haha
mine button would be: ^^
Oh, here it is a good present! You have the best friends Katie! I also love exclamation marks but I adore smile faces like this sone :)
Silly!
xoxo, have a teriffic Friday!
Either a heart or nervous face. :/ I make that one a lot!
Cool!
your friend is a genius.
Wow! That is amazing. I would have a :P I definitely use that one way too much!

You're so adorable!
Mine would be

It'd be cool if there's one of :D and ): of course the most commonly used heart shape!
That's a really cool button!
That's brilliant!!! :D
What an AMAZING present!!!
Btw, I was just introduced to Tyler's music last night when watching an iphone video!! What a small world (:
A universal symbol for awesome would be cool. Wait, the exclamation point is probably just that.
COUNT ME IN!!!!
oh that is SO COOL!! mine would be a smiley
=] or :) if you wanna be normal haha
i'm always using them.
or maybe a heart.
the "haha" is also a good idea. i'm constantly typing/laughing ^_^
ah this is just too amazing.
Such an amazing, and thoughtful gift. Is is possible to make a buttons of silhouette images?
I would want balloons
OK, I don't remember how I came across your site, but the day I did, I read every single solitary post from start of time to now and I love you!!!
Haven't commented until now, but what a fabulous gift!
I'd want the three dots...what are they called?...b/c I use them more than I probably should!!
Thanks for spreading happiness!!
awww you're so sweet HeatherG!!!
My only question is have you listened to the music of !!! (also called chik chik chik)?
a smiley face :)
i love smileys

Oh, it's so nice. I went looking for something I'd use, but I get too attached to too many things. Still ☃, which is snowman with a little fez (I think) is currently winning.
Or little flowers ❀❀❀❀❀
or snowflakes ❅❅❄❄
or umbrellas ☂☂☂
ok, my opinion's useless, I like the whole concept.
That is such a great idea!. Reading the reactions I suddenly saw a keyboard before me consisting completely of seperate buttons, like dexters lab or something :). That's the fun thing about gifts they show you how much somebody knows you!
(ps. sorry if my enlish is weird)
hahahha I love it! Mine would probably be an exclamation point too. You should definitely collaborate and sell these bad boys!
This is such a great idea! I think this would be a very profitable (and cute!) endeavor for you! Go for it! I'm definitely linking back to this on my blog today :)
a heart.
a star.
a smiley face.
"LOL"
I don't care how lame it is. I will never stop using it :)
wow im so jealous.. haha best present ever indeed! <33
Very cute! Mine should be a palm tree, it would make me happy to end my emails with that, or a flower:)
oooohhhh!!!!! i! want! an! exclamation! mark! too! please!
or a daisy!
That was fun!!!! :)
PS- I love your blog. ;)
I'm glad I'm not the only one who uses !!exclamation marks!! to the hilt!:> Oh yea...also use my smiley face quite a bit too! :>:>:> So glad you & your friends know how to have fun! :>
I have this same "addiction" with exclamation points... I have had to lay off a little though. It is so much more fun to have punctuation other than a boring period!!!!!!!!
that is the coolest idea ever! I think a heart or a smiley face would be fun. you guys should totally do it!
exclamation points. or one that swore in icons - like in a comic strip.
I would want two. A smiley and a heart! :)
I would definitely buy one of these! But mine would have to be either:
:D
or
:3
Awesome! I want a whole keyboard of these!
That is amazing! I would love to have one of those. I would like a heart as well. A button that types <3 would be just lovely.
You are too pretty and that button looks like a lot of fun!
i likey!!!! boy, do i want one now!
your photography is beautiful! how much should i plan on spending on a Canon 5D Mark?? :D
A ~ or just a plain ol' :) would be a fantastic button.
But that is flat out the most adorable thing ever! What a great friend! :)
Mine would be XD
I need an exclamation point button too!! And a smiley button :-) Because I use both WAY more than I should!!
See?? :-)

@Anee Dupaix- It's quite expensive but I definitely spent a lot more on the lenses for it! The glass in your lens makes a HUGE difference in the quality of your pics!
:) I LOVE this. I would have a :) button. I use that way too much... ;D
That is so great--your friend is awesome.
Today, I've been studying Hebrew, so I would love a button to let me turn on the keyboard mode for typing the niqud (little dots and lines to express vowels) instead of (no joke) alt+shift, caps, shift again, and then the key for the niqud.
Mine would be a heart or a winking smily face. and you are totally adorable!
so this post made me laugh..that was hilarious.
Actually you know how they sell seperate keypads for just numbers? you could make a tiny one that has different keys on it that maybe people use a lot on facebook and stuff. Like the heart, the music notes etc.
Mine would be an ampersand though, if you must ask.
&&&&&
it's not a punctuation mark but it's sooooooo beautiful.
The iconic smiley face. I feel the same way about it as you do about exclamation points!
Wow! Wow! Wow! I love that! ! !
lips! So that I can give someone far away a kiss everytime I like!
Brenda.
mine would look like this :P
i'm sticking out tongue quite a lot :)
i would LOVE an exclamation mark. and maybe "haha" and a smile like this :) but mainly exclamation marks!!!
i would LOVE an exclamation mark. and maybe "haha" and a smile like this :) but mainly exclamation marks!!!
This is just so awesome! I wish he was my friend! Every single post of yours makes a day brightened!
@MaeDecember- That would be so fun!
That is freaking adorable! Really! You look so cute!
My button would be CAPS. Just, CAPS. Because I love me some capital letters to get my point across. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN??!?!!!!
haha!
it really is the best! present! eveah!
(you need to do a star for all the gleeks out there)
oh! i know! my favorite punctuation mark! the interrobang!
:)
Mine would be "..."
How great!!!!! Mine would be ! too. I use it alllll the time..
Indeed, a heart would be perfect.
that is such an amazing gift! a heart would be so cute, but i'd just love a little peace sign (:
i think you should make a whole keyboard set:) that would be truly amazing, i mean think about it, you could just press all of the buttons instead of typing! it's a dream come true!!!!
I would want one that says "Love You" I think it would be awesome to just be able to slap that one the end of every email... Hey! If you had one like that, you would say "Love you" with your foot! yay!!! Do you now use your toes to put "!" in your emails? <3
OF COURSE he should sell them!! Etsy all the way.
I totally overuse exclamation marks and love them!
xo,
