Where we get tags & Special Offer

      After our Tag giveaway we had several cachers ask about our tags and where we get them from.  It is easy, EXTAGS. We have only made 3 tags and they have all been Extags. From day one they have been excellent to us and our readers. Extags is growing and pleased to announce some exciting news. 


Extagz is pleased to announce a recent change in ownership. Extagz is a leading producer of trade items, such as personal tags, geocoins and pins for the geocaching community.

New owner, Joshua White, has committed to making improvements, and has started off by offering a free, limited edition tag to those who place new orders as a show of their continuing support. "First and foremost, we are Geocachers and taggers ourselves," White said, "and we want to build relationships and community with others who are passionate about the same things." He also stated that he hopes to bring fresh ideas to the company to help encourage new tags, trading within the community, and growth.
Expect to see freebies, contests, new offerings, new clubs and an Extagz table coming to a Mega near you! Check out what Extagz has to offer at Extagz.net, or visit their Facebook page at Extagz Facebook.

For the rest of July, readers of this blog can use the code livelovecache, to earn free vanity code on their order.

From time to time, Extagz will launch a new club. These clubs work one of two ways. The first is that there is a theme, and everyone joining the club makes a tag that fits that theme. Examples include our recent Pokémon club, which saw 68 different Extagz created, football players, train cars, or an upcoming club, Perfect Pairs! The second way is that there is a design made up and everyone creates Extagz using that one design, but chooses their own colors, glitter, glow, translucent, etc. for that same design. Examples include our current club, Trolls, and many past clubs such as GeoKisses, awareness ribbons, butterflies, and others.

Usually the cost of creating Extagz in these clubs is cheaper than creating other tags due to sharing mold costs, trading before shipping to save time and trade costs for the club members, and/or shared backs.

For each new club, we will typically start a new Facebook Group to facilitate conversation, orders, information sharing, and so that everyone see what is being done by current members to help give them ideas of what they could make for the club.

If you'd like to join our current Trolls Club, come join us at Extagz Trolls.

If you're interested in joining the Perfect Pairs Club, which hasn't officially started, but is coming soon, come join in the fun at Perfect Pairs Extagz.

Here are the 3 tags we have made with Extagz:
Don't forget for the rest of July 2017 readers of this blog can use the code livelovecache, to earn free vanity code on their order.
Happy Caching!

Our new Tags & New Promotional Trackable

I am not sure if you got everything you wanted for Christmas, we did. I had some tags designed and produced by Ex Tagz . I didn't get my order placed in time for Christmas delivery so I printed a copy of the tag proof then had it imprinted on a Zippo lighter for Balkamper13 to open on Christmas morning. He was surprised, I kept a secret. Our tags arrived the 2nd week of January and we are in love!
We will be hosting a giveaway soon, we want to share these fantastic tags!
 

It's time for another promotional trackable & photo contest

 We hope 2017 is starting off like a FTF mixed with a 5/5.
If it is not, maybe this will help [insert drumroll here] Dream Big & author Kat Kronenberg have teamed up to bring us 1,400 CATCH-M trackables  & a photo contest.
