Where to buy your Berkshire Hathaway memorabilia
Friday, April 29th, 2011If you’re coming to the Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders’ meeting, you HAVE to go home with a souvenir.
And while we’re happy to sell you all the jewelry, watches and gifts you can buy, we know people also want to sport their love of Berkshire Hathaway with some swanky memorabilia.
We’ve shown you already on this blog the great items for sale to commemorate this year’s annual meeting.
Now, here’s where you can purchase them at Borsheims! Because the store gets a little crazy with all the people shopping for jewelry, watches and gifts, we’ve moved the memorabilia out into the mall area. Just look for this great booth set up just outside of the mall entrance to Borsheims. The great Borsheims’ staff members behind the counter can help you take home any of the memorabilia you wish!
You can always find the same memorabilia at the Qwest Center in the Borsheims booth on Saturday, but why wait!?! In fact, if you’re planning to camp outside the Qwest Center tonight to get a good seat at tomorrow’s annual meeting, you’ll probably want to buy the Berkshire Hathaway pillow and blanket, the travel mug, and maybe the umbrella before you start your camp out!
And again, if you couldn’t make the trip but are living vicariously through this blog, you can get your memorabilia at www.borsheims.com!
Shareholder Dilemma
Friday, April 22nd, 2011It happens every year. Berkshire Hathaway shareholders come to Omaha to attend the Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders’ meeting, visit the exhibition hall at the Qwest Center and end up buying more than they can carry home with them.
Well fret no more, people. Borsheims has the solution right inside its booth at the Qwest Center. It’s called the RuMe bag:
The bag rolls up into a tiny size to fit in your pocket, purse or briefcase. Then, when you need it (like after you’ve purchased armloads of Berkshire Hathaway-related products), just unroll it and go. You can fit a lot of goodies into the 15.5″ bag. But don’t try to take the Dilly bars home in the bag. They melt and MUST be eaten immediately!
Hot Sellers Return to BRK Memorabilia Line-Up
Thursday, April 21st, 2011Have you spent the past year guessing how Warren Buffett or Charlie Munger would answer your questions? All the while, your friends have had the answer in the palms of their hands?
You must have been one of the unlucky hundreds who didn’t get their hands on a Magic Answer Ball during last year’s Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders’ meeting. Borsheims sold out of them quickly, but this year ordered more. So now you can stop waiting to make all your big life decisions until the answer ball tells you to “Buy Now,” “Diversify,” or the always popular “I have nothing to add.” Buy now online if you’re worried about them selling out again, or try your luck at Borsheims or the Qwest Center.
We also reordered the train banks after a huge demand for them last year. Find details here.
New Berkshire Hathaway Shareholders’ Weekend Memorabilia
Tuesday, April 12th, 2011The 2011 Berkshire Hathaway memorabilia has been unveiled, and you’ll want to get your hands on some before you set foot in Omaha! Since the theme of this year’s annual meeting is “Planes, Trains and Automobiles,” the great staff at Borsheims selected the perfect pieces of memorabilia to complement the theme.
For instance, traveling by plane? Don’t use the nasty old neck pillow and blanket that everyone on the hundreds of flights before you has used. Carry your very own travel pillow and blanket, emblazoned with the BRK logo! The blanket actually comes inside the pillow, and then you can inflate the pillow when you take the blanket out. How convenient is that!?! And I touched this set while I was photographing it. It’s cozy. It made me want to curl up right on the sales floor in Borsheims for a nap. It’s $45 and can be purchased here, now!
I haven’t traveled by train in a while, but the last time I did you could bring your own water (a definite perk over air travel!). No one will look sportier on the train than you if you’re carrying this Warren and Charlie Travel Mug. Fill it with water, tea, Coca Cola, or whatever beverage warms your heart (within security regulations, of course!). This mug will keep hot things hot and cold things cold. In addition to the photo of Warren and Charlie on the front, it also has the names of each of the Berkshire Hathaway companies exhibiting at the Qwest Center during the 2011 Berkshire Hathaway shareholders’ meeting. Buy it here for $15.
Driving to the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting? Keep track of your keys on this Berkshire Hathaway stock certificate key chain. This sterling silver key ring was custom made to look like a Berkshire Hathaway stock certificate. It will dress up any set of keys so much, no one will be able to tell if you’re driving an old beater or the newest model right off the showroom floor. The BRK Key Ring costs $99 and can be purchased here.
For the few shareholders who live within walking distance of us, we have you covered. Literally! This Berkshire Hathaway umbrella will keep you dry. And since you live here, you know that it can rain at a moment’s notice. Keep this umbrella handy and impress your friends with your preparedness and stylishness! Buy it now here for $25.
Of course, all of the Berkshire Hathaway memorabilia will be available during the Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders’ weekend. You can visit the booth set up at the entrance to Borsheims Friday and Sunday, or visit our booth in the exhibit hall of the Qwest Center on Saturday. But a word of warning… some of the popular items last year sold out on Friday. So if there’s something you really want, grab it Friday. Or grab it now and browse the selection at www.borsheims.com.
The Visitor’s Guides are out!
Tuesday, March 15th, 2011Or at least the electronic version is ready to go! If you’re coming to this year’s Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders’ meeting, you’ll enjoy checking out this year’s visitor’s guide now.
Assembled by Warren Buffett’s wonderful staff at Berkshire Hathaway headquarters here in Omaha, the guide is a great overview of everything that’s going on during Berkshire Hathaway shareholders’ weekend. 
We have the download-friendly pdf right here.
In it, you will find information on hotels, restaurants and activities taking place during the shareholder weekend. The guide also contains the official schedule of events for the weekend, shuttle information and details on shareholder shopping periods.
You can see from the cover of the guide that this year’s theme is Planes, Trains and Automobiles. (Did you know there’s a theme for each year’s Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders’ meeting?) At Borsheims, we try to ensure our decor and memorabilia reflect the theme. The shareholder passes do, too.
We’ll be unveiling our 2011 Berkshire Hathaway memorabilia here soon, but until then, enjoy a little light reading to get you excited for your trip to Omaha!

Berkshire Memorabilia: Shipping
Thursday, April 29th, 2010Hello Weekenders,
Just wanted to post up a quick note about one of our most popular pieces of Berkshire Memorabilia, the Warren and Charlie Magic Answer Ball. We recently received a message from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) warning that the Magic Answer Ball will probably not be allowed in carry-on luggage due to its liquid contents. So if you are flying into town for the Berkshire Weekend, you will want to make sure and pack that gift in your checked bags. Or work with a sales associate to get that piece of Berkshire history mailed home.
You may also want to avoid the hassle check out one of the many other beautiful pieces of Berkshire memorabilia on sale this year at Borsheims. We suggest you take a look at the Berkshire Hathaway Rubik’s Cube. It will provide hours of fun and no hassle at the airport. Or just swing by the gifts department and check out all the memorabilia.
See you this weekend,
Bill, the blogger
