Keeping Your Cool in the Heat

Having a hard time keeping your cool during the sultry, dog days of summer? I hear you! The heat and humidity can really wear thin when you’re outside sweating. Did you know that studies have shown that crimes soar when the temperatures rise? It’s true. Researchers have found a strong correlation between hot weather and crimes. But I have your back (and your sweaty face) with the cool breeze fan with spray mister. I’ve used this gadget at baseball games, soccer tournaments, the beach, and barbecues, and it really is a joy to keep in my tote bag. A refreshing blast of cool water is all I need for a bit of refreshment. My kids love this fan because it offers a quick cool down but they don’t get soaking wet. Coaches, this fan works great on the sidelines to mist off your hot players and to help you stay cool, too. For any company, this is a nice giveaway that recipients will really appreciate because it’s compact enough to bring along anywhere. Get ordering now before the summertime ends. And help do your part to keep crime low.

Safety First for Cuddly Pets

If domestic pets are your business, have I got the promotional item for you! All pet owners want to make sure Fluffy, Fifi, and Fido are kept safe. What’s the simplest way to do that? The first method to keep a beloved pet safe and sound is a round reflector ID tag worn on the cat or dog’s collar. All that is needed is the pet’s name and its owner’s phone number. Should that loving pooch or kitty ever wander a little too far from home, the tag will be easily spotted and the owner will get that important call. Now, add on your corporate information to that ID tag and you have a wonderful promotional item that offers security for a pet owner and gives you added marketing capabilities. Not only is this product something that any pet owner can use, but it also shows how much you care about your clients’ furry friends. This isn’t just a simple giveaway. It’s something that demonstrates compassion and kindness, too. You’ll love giving this ID tag to your customers and clients. They will appreciate receiving such a thoughtful item.

Let's Start Mapping Out Our Trip

With the summer here, families are getting into their cars and heading off on vacations and day trips. Spending time together is what it’s all about. In this time of the GPS, there’s not much need for a map… or is there? My sons beg to differ, because they love to look at the road atlas that I keep in my car and find the places that we’ve been to. It’s like an old-fashioned game of hidden pictures of sorts. “Mom, remember when we went to Uncle Steve’s graduation? Wasn’t that in Fairfax, Virginia? Oh, I found it!” I consider it a little geography lesson of sorts since they learn each state’s capital city. Oh, and did I mention how great it is to keep the boys occupied on those long trips? Don’t forget, the road atlas is a great tool to keep in the glove compartment (sometimes our GPS just can’t seem to find a satellite!) and I’ve had one since I got my first car. It’s a nice giveaway, especially when personalized with your company’s logo and mailed to recipients. Everyone loves a little goodie in the mail! This is one goodie anyone can use!

Listen Up!

We are bombarded with noise from the second the alarm clock goes off, blaring in our ears first thing at dawn. Throughout the day, there’s a lot more from beeping car horns to phones ringing and buzzing with text messages, shouts from the boss across the office. Silence surely doesn’t await us when we get home either – crying babies, loud washing machines, ringing doorbells, and the yells of kids playing in the basement. I don’t know about you, but at times, I need to escape into my own world. I grab my iPod, pop in my audio earbuds, and just listen to something that I want to listen to. It might be some relaxing classical music or really pumping rock and roll. I may opt for a podcast of Stuff You Missed in History Class or catch the news or tune in to a Phillies game. Whatever it is, that’s when it’s my time to listen to something interesting or pleasant or exciting. By the way, did I mention, these earbuds are an amazing promo item that are simple to hand out to clients? I didn’t? Oh, then let me tell you what a great giveaway these are! They can be used in computers, mobile devices, iPods, or just about anything. And they rock!
