Old Fashioned Pens and Pencils Get a Whole New Twist

I noticed a new trend in writing instruments recently and one that I’d not seen the likes before. An acquaintance had been on a trip to Arizona and returned with two cactus bent-like pencils for my kids. We all stared at them for awhile – these pencils were so adorable and cute, but my kids and I wondered why we hadn’t thought up such an unusual and fun concept ourselves. Just looking at these little cacti-induced pencils made us laugh. Our creative juices aside for now, we found that Gimmees is a provider of these novelty pencil creations. You can choose from a variety of bends pens and pencils in really neat contours including: reindeer, palm tree, ribbon awareness, graduation cap, hard hat, house, and more! Really, why would you write out your bills or let your kids do their math homework with a boring pen or pencil? These bentcils and ink bends make your writing chores way more fun! And they are great giveaways for nearly every business and company whether you are a school, a real estate agency, or a travel agent.

Everybody Say Cheese!

Life is full of surprises. There’s no telling when you’ll see something unexpected like a beautiful butterfly, a kid hitting a home run at a Little League game, that perfect sunset on the beach. Do you always have your camera ready for action? If not, then try our Clip Camera. It’s small, holds up to 20 pictures, and can be made into a webcam. Plus, it comes with a handy dandy clip to keep it attached to your hip by way of a belt loop, your key ring, or your purse. It’s even small enough to fit in your car’s middle console. Should you ever get into a fender bender, you’ll be secretly pleased with yourself for thinking ahead to snap a few shots of the damage. Once you have that great surprise shot of a beautiful rosebud opening up, your kid covered in mud from playing outside in the rain, or your son receiving his high school diploma, preserve those photographic memories in a 2.4” Desktop Digital Photo Frame. Keep them on your desk in the office or on the living room table. These are what memories are truly made of!

Have Backpack.... Will Travel

I’m of the belief that everyone should be the owner of a backpack. They aren’t just for the high school set as many people would believe. Backpacks are terrific for hauling around your books, personal items, drinks, magazines, snacks, and an infinite array of other items. The best part is that you can lug your important things with you, yet keep your hands free. Backpacks are perfect for when you are headed to the beach, a concert, a ball game, the mall, or a day out with the kids. A couple of years back when the Phillies won the World Series, I shipped my husband and our two sons off to the World Champions Parade in Philadelphia outfitted with only a backpack. But that backpack was filled with everything from juice boxes and fruit snacks to hand wipes, sunscreen, and a camera. And my hubby kept the goods on his back so that he could hold our boys’ hands and direct them through the crowds of people. Fortunately for you, Gimmees is the best place to come if you’re in the hunt for backpacks. We have everything from the upgraded Xpeditor Wheeled Computer Backpack to the more basic Daytona Backpack.

Puzzle Me This, Batman!

Isn’t there a little kid trapped inside each of us? Sometimes I wonder when childhood left me and adulthood set in. No one asked if I was ready – believe me, I wasn’t. Often, I resort back to childish ways. Fortunately, I have two kids of my own so it’s not that hard. I will, on occasion, pick up some of their toys to play with. Like the Mood Dude Rubik’s Cube. This is a new twist – quite literally – on an old favorite. A moody guy replaces the standard solid color squares. The Mind Trap 3D Puzzle is just the thing that will make me get a little goofy. My IQ might not be high enough to conquer this wooden fright fest, but it’s still fun nonetheless. If I really am in the mood to use my brain power, Perplexia Master Pyramid Puzzle is just the thing. The Puzzle Pen offers you dual functionality because it writes while also being a nice distraction in that boring Thursday morning business meeting. And don’t forget… Each of these cool little mind benders can be personalized with your corporate logo, company name, or web site.
