Do You Even Know What a Plethora Is?!
It’s no secret that I am of the opinion BlizzCon 2019 was an absolute joy. Along with the stunning Diablo related content we have covered, the Darkmoon Faire and consumer/collectible focused areas were extremely solid and impressively handled. This year there was a plethora of goodies ranging from Overwatch cookbooks pop up WoW art books, shirts, mugs, etc but also, we got a look at some of the upcoming goodies for the rabid Blizzard fan in your life. I was shocked at the high quality, huge variety, and sheer number of choices in the shop and what’s to come.
If you weren’t able to attend the show or you weren’t able to pack all the crap you wanted into you bags (like me), be sure to check out the full Blizzard Gear store and get 20% on orders before Nov 6th! It’s a no-brainer if you are looking to score something for you or a buddy. The items I got were freaking awesome and surprisingly, the biggest hit has been the Overwatch cookbook for my whole family of wannabe cooks. Boo yeah!
