Unboxing: Gift from the Hat Lady

Today’s Unboxing comes from a brand new online store called Freida’s Hat started by my friend Freida Wolden. If you’ve spent any time in Seesmic’s video community then you’ve probably met Frieda. She is often the very first person to say hello to new people and was the first to welcome me when I was introduced to the site in 2007. Freida can often be seen wearing a hat of some sorts talking about life, love, art, politics… you name it. In fact to this date, it’s possible that Frieda has the highest number of videos recorded by anyone in the Seesmic Community.

Something you may not know about her is that before she retired, Frieda owned a school where she taught computers and technology. I’ve often admired her Entrepreneurial spirit and find it no surprise that she is starting this new business. She is doing something she loves and is known for, so I like to think Frieda’s Hat is bound for success.

If you’re in the market for a fabulous ladies hat, visit her site. I love my beautiful wide brimmed camel colored hat. The quality is great and it’s really fun to wear! The hat bands are handmade by Freida and as you can hear my Dad say in the video, “This one hat with different ribbons it’s like wearing different hats all the time.” The hats are a great value at just around $40 and the bands are just under $6 each.

And last but not least, if you don’t know them yet, the special studio audience in this episode of Unboxing are my Mom & Dad! I decided to open up the box while we had afternoon tea at their farm.

  • I'm back from Madagascar and it's great to have some updates from you AND Freida with her online store, i'll check t(hat) out as soon as possible ;)

    Well, that's a great hat. I think everyone should have at least one hat (especially with this ongoing global warming)
    The only thing that comes in my mind is this:

    Awesome!

    Even I've donned a hat in honor of Frieda. I had this photo taken in Strasbourg, France last year.

Did she tell you about the dinner we had together when she was in SF?! If not... ask her about Crustaceans. Mmm mmmm mmm. Hope you are well and awesome to see a comment from you! --sukhjit
  • Awesome Unboxing Sukhjit. Love your Mom and Dad. They make the video feel like family. So proud of Frieda. My wife belongs to several organizations that would love these hats. I'm going to forward this to her right now. Take care.

  • I love the videos with mama and papa Ghag in them! So glad your mom co-hosted that one with you. She is usually so shy. Freida's new venture is awesome. It is such a no brainer if you have ever interacted with her or watched her videos. I wish her a lot of success in it. Going to visit http://www.freidashat.com/ now.
