The following is a list of my favorite new products that I’ve seen by reviewing all the new 2010 catalogs. My favorite, favorites have a photo to go with them. Come, on who says there aren’t any new ideas!
*The Flexi-vase. Soft, flexible PVC vase that folds flat for easy shipping and creates vase-shape when filled with water. Optional trim colors shown. (Why doesn’t 1-800-FLOWERS use this as a promotional item for Valentine’s Day – FREE Vase with every fresh cut flower order!)
*Laminated Grocery Totes. (Made my “Prediction List” for Top 10 Promo Items for 2010.) Takes the grocery tote from utilitarian status to “fashion-statement” since it can be printed with intricate designs and four colors.
*Ceramic Travel Mug. Looks like those famous take-out coffee cups from your corner coffee shop. Yet, it’s made of ceramic and has a silicone cap that looks just like the plastic “to go” cap. I love it for the ingenuity! Love it for your coffee!
*Digital Video Recorders. Why shouldn’t you have a branded “flip” camera?! I know I want one.
*Mobile Phone Charger. Now there’s a small, simple way to get a charge when you can’t find an outlet. Plug into your phone – powers it from a AA alkaline battery. Gives you about 100 minutes of more talk!
*Bag Hanger. Made my “Top 10 for 2010!” also. Love it. Quirky. Ladies, will it keep your purse in plan view so those lurking near by won’t have a chance to take it? You tell me!
*Personal Mister. We’ve had the spray bottle/fan – now the personal mister to keep you cool in the dog days of summer! Looks like an upside down shower!
*Snuggle Blanket! Isn’t this your all-time favorite? Not just another “Snuggie,” check out the “remote” pocket on the front – nice touch. I got a Wisconsin Badgers Snuggie from a friend this Christmas – no I’m not writing this from the comfort of my Snuggie.
*Over the Sink Strainer. Check this out – at least I haven’t seen it before. Handy and functional.
*(????????????????) What new promotional products have you seen. What should make the “Top 10 for 2010!” I’ll give you my #10 next week.
