Our desks are stacked full with new catalogs for the 2018 year, and there’s something new and exciting in each one. Our sales managers have been flipping through, and have picked out some fun, new branding ideas for you!
Rachel Manthey
This is a great add-on idea to a mug. The full-color option gives a nice look to it. They’ve got some different snack gift items I haven’t seen previously offered, such as Pringles. And private-label bottled water from a key line is always great!
Zebra Fountain Pen (in pink because that’s my favorite color!)
I love matching ink pens. This is a brand-name pen with removable cap and fountain pen tip. It’s a nice pen to put with a journal for women’s events or conferences.
Longing for summer days right now to curl up in one of these!
A very unique item, that I haven’t seen elsewhere. Great alternative to the fold up chairs.

Green Thumb Flower Pot Bluetooth® Speaker
You can fill this speaker with fresh flowers, touch each flower, and hear a different sound. You can also set it so each flower you touch causes the band of light to change to a different color. There is a video on their website that I strongly suggest you watch. Cool and unique item.
Plug this into your power outlet and connect it to your Wi-Fi; you are then able to turn the outlet on and off from anywhere with your smartphone or tablet, using an app. Forget to turn the iron off? No problem. Arriving home late and would like to turn the lights on before you enter? No problem. Nifty little gadget.
Clip your smartphone to the top or side of your computer and never miss an important call. Also useful for video chat.

Bendable Dual 3 LED Work Light with Bag Imprint
A 34” bendable steel wire wrapped in PVC that lets you shine light from any angle. The flashlight heads are also magnetic for picking up small metal objects.
Webcam Blocker with Screen Cleaner
These are really popular right now. Many suppliers are adding versions to their line. I like this smart combo—easy to send out and a great price point for a hand out.
Found in our Spring Guide, page 6, this is a very practical tool to keep in the glove box and at a good price point.
White Melamine Set
This set is four pieces—slotted spoon, ladle, slotted spatula, spaghetti fork—all practical!
ComfortClayTM Plush Large Hot Pack
I am curious about the Ariel ComfortClayTM, a hot/cold pad that uses a formula of clay, glycerin, and water

Cedar Wood Phone Case for iPhone® 6/6S Plus
This Woodchuck brand phone case would be perfect for lumber & construction companies that buy promotional advertising. There are a variety of wood finishes and iPhone sizes available. The best part? One tree will be planted for every product purchased.
Great for county fairs and school activities—you can do an assortment of faces, no minimum per face (but you will have a set-up charge per face). These are in our new Spring Guide, page 2.
I’ve been looking for totes for a women’s organization and ran across the following that I really like:
