| | JANUARY 23, 2012 | | I'm Proudly Wearing My Tie Pants and You Should, Too
 Did you know that pajamas were invented in India? Guess what? I didn’t know this fun fact either. In fact, it was British men who adopted this clothing and brought it home with them to Europe, wearing PJs for comfort and when they felt the need for relaxing. Today, it’s not just British men who are reaping the benefits of pajamas and comfy flannel pajama-like pants. The rest of us are keeping ourselves cozy and warm with them, too. In fact, go anywhere these days and young people are sporting their pajamas in public. Whether you agree with that is another story entirely, but Gimmees has flannel options for you and one of my personal favorites is the navy gold cord tie pant. Why these colors, you might ask? Navy and gold are my college’s colors, but aside from that, I think they are a good combo and complementary to each other. Plus, navy and gold will work well with a soft fleece sweatshirt or tee. These promotional items will look even more amazing when you are wearing them! It’s January, which means that wearing trousers is totally overrated! Put on your tie pants and be proud. Oh, and be comfy, too.

| | JANUARY 17, 2012 | | Priceless Information to Keep Your Kids Well
 If you are a parent, you know what it’s like to be up at three o’clock in the morning with a feverish child, who is whimpering and shivering. It’s downright awful for a mother or father to watch his or her child suffer with an illness, and parents are always working hard to ensure that their kids stay well and healthy. But sometimes even our best efforts aren’t enough. And sometimes we even need more help than just a pediatrician. Do you know what symptoms are so serious that you should bypass your doctor and immediately call 911? The Key Point: Children’s Medical Emergencies is an 8-panel card (promotional product) that contains critical and valuable information for every parent. The card can be folded up to fit inside your wallet or purse or it can be taped in a central spot in your home – think the fridge or a medicine cabinet. Hopefully, you never have to use this card. But wouldn’t you rather be prepared for the worst and know exactly what to do in the event of an emergency revolving around your child? Preparation and education are invaluable.

| | JANUARY 10, 2012 | | Now You Can Actually Read the Fine Print
Is it really necessary that fine print has to be so fine? I have often wondered if the reason why such type is so small is so that none of us actually read it. Whatever the case, as I’m getting a little bit older (note: I said a little bit, not a lot), I’m beginning to notice that fine print is even smaller than it was before. Not sure if this is some international conspiracy of sorts on the part of the credit card companies or if it’s time I started having annual eye exams instead of visiting the ophthalmologist every other year. In the meantime, while I’m waiting for my next appointment with the eye doctor, I’m perfectly content with my pro-reader bookmark/ruler/magnifier. I can easily read any type that looks too small, which means I’m on to those credit card companies! Plus, my page is nicely marked in the latest bestseller that I’m reading. Finally, the red, white, and blue tassel shows my American spirit every day of the year and is just so darn cute. Oh, I almost forgot to mention that if I need to measure anything or draw a straight edge, the product is a ruler as well. It’s a promotion that offers a lot of features at a sweet and sassy price.

| | JANUARY 3, 2012 | | Sass Up that Suitcase
 Right about now, as the final Christmas decorations are packed away and the last bit of tinsel is swept up off the floor, the houses are looking bare and the weather outside is cold, bleak, and gray. If you’re anything like me, your mind is daydreaming to a land where the sun is sparkling, the winds are mild, and the daytime temperature rarely falls below 83 degrees. And for the lucky few who have credit cards that aren’t maxed out from the holiday shopping, a trip to sunnier places is a very real possibility. Call the travel agent, book the vacation, pack your suitcase. That’s all there is to it, right? Here’s a tip: don’t forget to have your name and address on your suitcase a la the sandal luggage tag. It’s bright and colorful and so darn cute and it will make even the blackest of suitcases stand out. That way, once you are in paradise, you aren’t standing at the carousel too long looking for your luggage. It will be easy to spot so that you can get on your way to putting your toes in the sand. The sun’s rays are calling to you after all.

| | DECEMBER 27, 2011 | | Hot and Sexy in a Caffeinated Sort of Way
I cannot possibly start the day without a cup of coffee, preferably two cups. There’s nothing better on a cold morning than a steamy cup of java, or as I like to call it “liquid nectar of the gods.” My husband puts a pot on for me so that it’s nicely brewed and waiting when I make my entrance into the kitchen. Ah, heaven in both aroma and taste! Fortunately, I can enjoy my coffee at home most days, but for those occasions – my son’s early morning soccer tournament, for example – when I need to be out the door early, there’s the Marilyn tumbler. It keeps my coffee hot and prevents me, the klutz that I am, from spilling scalding liquid all over myself. Plus, it’s curvy in its own sexy way like Marilyn Monroe, which makes me chuckle each time I take a sip. But my favorite part about Marilyn is that she doesn’t hold a mere 12 ounces of java or even just 16 ounces, but a whopping 18 ounces of the piping hot beverage of my choosing. Which means that I have the energy I need to get through my morning. And that is why I simply love my Marilyn.

| | DECEMBER 20, 2011 | | My Hat's Off to the Beanie
 As a kid, it was ridiculously uncool to be caught dead in a hat of any kind, except for when you were either playing Little League or going out in blizzard-like conditions. In fact, the only time I’d don a hat was to go build snow forts or prepare for snowball fights, and only under the threats of punishment from my mother. Once she went back inside, the hot, woolen mess on my head was pulled off and thrown behind a bush. My, how things have changed! Today, hats are all the rage. Even the players on my son’s soccer team wear these promotional items on the field. The kids opt for the knit beanie with stripe, because it can be customized with the team’s colors. You can do the same for your team, group, or event. I bet the recipients will wear those beanies to promote your message. And while we are on the subject of how hats got so popular and so couture, since when did hats start being called “beanies”? Perhaps that is why the lowly hat has become such an icon of style -- because it’s no longer referred to as simply a hat. It’s gotten a massive overhaul as the beanie.

| | DECEMBER 8, 2011 | | I'm Not Jaded, Just Shaded
I must share a great find with you. Why? Because I simply love it! I have several baseball caps because I am a diehard baseball fan and frankly, I find baseball caps to be all-American, casual, and most people look good in them. However, my new exciting headwear find is the cotton twill visor – embroidered. I like this visor for several reasons: it’s comfortable, it comes with an adjustable strap, it shades my eyes from the sun, and is lightweight enough that my head doesn’t feel sweaty even in the warmest temperatures. My husband gave me one of these recently, and I wear it with pleasure. I really do like the visor, but also because the headwear boasts his employer’s name. I’m only too pleased to market my husband’s employer since that company pays him a decent salary and provides us medical benefits, which in turn, enables us to pay our bills and go to the doctor when we are sick. I’m all about supporting the hand that feeds me, so to speak! You should do the same. And in the meantime, trust me when I say that you need one of these visors.

| | DECEMBER 5, 2011 | | It's Time to Celebrate!
 It’s hard to think about the month of December without imagining great parties, get-togethers, and tons of food and beverages. This is usually the time of year when companies throw celebratory dinners to thank employees for their service throughout the past 12 months. Clients and customers are often invited as well, as a special thank you for their business. Companies usually have promotional products at these dinners or parties and I’ve got a terrific idea for such: the 13 ½ ounce wine glass set. Not only will your guests have the pleasure of using these glasses during the party, but when it’s over, they have a product that they will use again and again at home. Gimmees can customize the wine glasses for you – add your corporate name to these – and this simple, yet sophisticated giveaway continues to market your business well into the new year. Another great thing about these glasses is that they come in sets of four, so you have options. You can either give them to each of your guests as a set or distribute one glass per person. It’s all up to you!

| | NOVEMBER 29, 2011 | | A Marketing Item that Is Just So Darn Tasty
 Who doesn’t love popcorn? I can’t think of anyone! I could be sitting in a movie theater, having just indulged in a humongous dinner out on the town, and one whiff of the popcorn being consumed by some stranger sitting across the aisle, will have me running to the nearest refreshment stand for a huge tub of the fluffy kernels. And yes, you’d better add butter and salt to my batch. Or I might be waltzing down the boardwalk in some seashore resort town in July and I can smell the sweet and salty mingle of caramel popcorn from a mile away. Yum! Since popcorn is such a fun and crunchy treat that just tastes of Americana, I am pointing you to a great idea for your clients: the Gimmees’ 1 Gallon Tin with Caramel Popcorn. It doesn’t matter what business you are in – your clients and customers will love this promo item. It’s a great surprise for the holidays in December or at any other time of the year. We’ll add your logo or corporate name to the tin. You just sit back and look like a million bucks while your clients snack away.
