Glassware for Gifting

Wine glasses, beer steins, coffee mugs, and stainless steel water bottles make an easy, thoughtful gift, and a great way to get your brand noticed without having the hassle of having to size anything. Unless you want to size up to a bigger wine glass.

The Collective System

Today was a beautiful fall day. Bright sun, cool breeze, white puffy clouds. And while fall is here for a bit yet, temps will be falling. Now is the time to think about what you want to do about cold weather gear.  Do you  get a heavy coat, a mid-weight fleece, and a rain jacket or go with a standard three in one jacket which means you have zero options should one part of the three in one system not work for you. Or do you go with the new Collective System that lets you mix and match fleece, vests, and jackets, that works best for you? (Hint – pick the Collective System)

These pieces zip in and out of the jacket as the weather changes and yet they look good on their own for the fall and spring months. (Or summer because here in New England you just never know….)

And ladies you don’t have to settle for a unisex cut.  Cool colors and styles made just for you.

Not sure where to start. Start with a base layer you like. Then as your needs change add to your system. Or not. This system is all about making you comfortable.

Russell Athletics: Another Option for Performance Wear

Performance wear is not just for the sports/fitness market anymore. We are currently seeing  our customers in construction, service, and corporate markets  starting to use performance gear as part of their uniforms. They are finding performance gear keeps everyone cooler during the hots summers and during the winter the thinner gear makes for a perfect base layer that still allows the moisture wicking properties to do their job.

Augusta Sportswear brought on the Russell Athletics line to their line up which means you have another option when looking for the right gear for your market. Russell has essential styles, with a good range of color options at a very nice price point. Click on any of the photos above to take a look at other options by Russell.

Can Aprons be Cool?

Why yes they can. And the folks at Uncommon Threads can show you just how cool they can be. A lot of our vendors offer aprons and chef coats as a convenience. And to be honest they are perfectly fine but a little boring. Uncommon Threads elevates the aprons and chef coats to a whole new level…because why be boring?

 

And don’t think these items are just for restaurants, cafes, or food trucks.  The aprons can be perfect for:

  • Art studios hosting paint nights
  • Volunteers working in kitchens or making charitable food deliveries
  • Teachers, parents, and students for school events
  • Corporate team building
  • Event employees who need to handle tickets, money, or other small items

Flip Flop Season Starts Now!

Happy First Day of Summer! Looks like you could use a new pair of flip flops.

Flip flops and slides make fun promo items and it is not an idea that has been used to death. Really how many more string bags do you  need. Unless perhaps they have a pair of flip flops in them.

Need some ideas of how to incorporate the ultimate summer accessory into your promo needs?

  • Flip flops are a natural fit for the hospitality industry and a great way to get your hotel, inn, or spa name out there. Add your logo, city and state, or just a hashtag to make your customers stay memorable.
  • Planning an walk, run, or fitness event? Add these to the goodie bag for extra flair. Remember to add your promo hashtag to your event flyer so after the finish lines have been crossed and medals handed out your Instagram account will be flooded with  feet shots.
  • Getting married? Will there be dancing late into the night? If yes, flip flops or slides make a very different and memorable wedding favor. And perfect to slip on for a long night of dancing under the stars.
  • Speaking of weddings don’t forget family reunions, company picnics, or boat and beach events.
