Traveling by air can be such a hassle these days since there are so many rules and regulations that everyone has to follow in order to better ensure safety for all. Little bottles of shampoo and mouthwash, suitcases that only weigh a certain amount, no prescriptions unless they are in clearly marked bottles with the patient’s name. Not to mention delays due to bad weather conditions or worse. I don’t know about you, but it’s enough to make my head ache and let me consider staying closer to home for a little R&R. But if you are one of the many that must use air travel to get from one locale to another, I’ve compiled a list of goodies that will won’t exactly take all of the stress out of your trip, but will ensure a lot less hassle. Here’s what I have for you:
• Departure Luggage Scale – No more surprises at check-in.
• 12-in-1 Travel Tool – Everything from a thermometer to a world clock to a toothpick in one neat little package.
• Lavender and Vanilla Stress Relief Box – Breathe slow and deep and you’ll think you’re in a meadow.
• Magnetic 7-in-1 Travel Game Set – Sometimes Solitaire is all you need to forget that cancelled flight.
Thursday April 22 is Earth Day, which reminds all of us to be kind to the environment and employ conservation to preserve the Earth’s natural resources. This special 24-hour period celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. Events are scheduled around the globe, and everyone is encouraged to participate, whether it’s by planting a tree in your backyard, picking up trash at your local park, or teaching your children how important it is to shut the lights off when they leave the room and turn off the faucet when brushing their teeth. Gimmees has always promoted recycling and offered an array of promotional products that are environmentally friendly. One of my favorites is the Owl 100% Recycled Deluxe Tote. Not only is it big and roomy and really terrific-looking, but it’s made from 100% post-consumer recycled materials. So, not only can I look good when I’m lugging all of my junk around, but I can feel good about it, too. This tote is handy for tossing in my recycled notebook with matching paper pen as well. Being eco-conscious doesn’t have to be difficult or stressful. Start out small and you’ll see how the little things can make a difference.
This is probably going to sound really silly but one of my favorite promotional items is the simple reusable water bottle. I know, I know. With all of the fancy and exciting items out there, you’d think I could be more creative, but I am a fan of water bottles and let me tell you why. My kids are always thirsty and it’s easy for me to pack them their favorite beverages into a 20 oz bike bottle in their backpacks to get them through the day at school. For baseball and soccer practices, I opt for something bigger – like the Mood Sports Bottle with Push ‘n Pull Cap. This sucker holds 32 ounces which is perfect to get the boys through two hours of sweaty practice. I’m also trying to do a better job at keeping myself hydrated so I like the 32 oz Clear Sports Bottle, which lets me fill up and then add some fresh orange and lemon slices for taste. And for the after hours, I usually fill two 8 oz Wee Sports Drink Bottles and leave them on my sons’ night table. This eliminates a lot of “Mom, I’m thirsty” conversations at 4:00 AM.
Springtime isn’t just the season when the flowers begin opening and the trees happily unveil new leaves. It’s that time when everyone is anxious to be outdoors to enjoy the sunshine. Whether you are at a major league ballpark catching your favorite baseball team or at your local park watching your kids take batting practice before that first pitch, you better stay hydrated with a variety of cool drinks. And make sure you load up on cold beverages for anyone who’s exercising heavily in the warm spring sun. To make your drink carrying easier, Gimmees offers a Koozie six-pack Kooler to stash all of your water bottles, juice boxes, and snacks in one convenient place. Gotta keep drinks cold for the entire Little League team? Not to worry! The Fiesta Koozie 12 pack Kooler is ideal for packing up a large number of cold items. Those cans of cola can get really heavy after awhile, and that’s why the 18 can rolling cooler is a great item to have – it keeps the beverages frosty yet saves your back. And remember, with Gimmees, you can personalize each and every one of these coolers with your corporate logo, company phone number, and name. Nothing’s cooler than that!
