Mini Beach Chair Cell Phone Holder

My client started his own SEO and online marketing solutions company. He wanted to give out various promotional items that would help him gain, maintain and retain new customers to use and endorse his services.

He chose some ordinary promotional products like pens and stress balls, but also wanted something unique. He decided to purchase the mini beach chair cell phone or business card holder with an orange imprint since his color theme is orange.

The Mini Beach Chair Cell Phone or Business Card Holder sits on your desk to display and promote your logo while holding your cell phone or business card. This item not only enhances your logo nicely, it brightens up and makes your desk area more noticeable.

AM/FM Shower Radio with Fog-free Mirror and Clock

Our client wanted a unique but useful item to give to their customers. After browsing our website, she felt the shower radio with a mirror and clock would be useful, but unordinary.

The AM/FM shower radio features a splash proof design with water resisitant construction with large, gray knobs for easy gripping when wet. The unit includes a powerful, loud speaker that provides a crisp and clear sound along with an adjustable fog-free shower vanity mirror and a plastic towel rack that doubles as a convenient counter stand.

An adjustable nylon cord/antenna enables this unit to fit any shower. Since you cannot take time devices in the shower with you, the designer remembered to include a LCD clock that displays the time and date so you would not lose track of time, and be late for those very important appointments.

This unit requires 4 AA batteries.

St. Patrick's Day

The St. Patrick's Day memory that stands out most to me is celebrating my Grandma Berry's birthday. Maybe the reason that my mom never had green eggs and ham with four leaf clover napkins and cups or such was because she wanted my Grandma to feel like it was her very own special day.

I remember a few times forgetting to wear green and getting pinched all day long. As a child, I remember feeling upset that I forgot to wear green. As I got a little older, I remember getting green paper or ink and hiding it on an inconspicuous place on my body so that if someone pinched me, I could reveal my hidden green and pinch them back ten times. It was fun to finally be smart enough to be the pincher rather than the pinchee.

To this day, I don't make a huge deal of St. Patrick's Day, but a little green fun brightens St. Patty's Day especially now my Grandma has passed on. St. Patrick's Day ideas you may want to consider for next year's celebration.

Second Opinions

The engine light on my daughter's car kept flashing on until one day it stayed on. She took it to the nearest mechanic and he told her that she had a cracked engine block. The estimated cost for the repair would be at least $1500. She decided it would probably be better to buy another car so she started shopping around to find a good deal. After spending some time shopping and researching, she realized that there weren't any deals good enough to fit her budget.

She called a few other mechanics to check their pricing for the repair of a cracked engine block, but they were all about the same price. She ended up taking it to the second mechanic she contacted because he said he would be able to finish it quicker than the first repairman that diagnosed the problem.

My daughter received a call the next day telling her that she did not have a cracked engine block. He said there were some leaks that needed to be repaired which would cost a few hundred dollars, but it would not be necessary to get a new engine block.

I have often heard that it is wise to get a second opinion when considering surgery, or treatment for serious medical conditions. My daughter's experience with her car, made me realize that it is a good idea to get a second opinion for anything that is going to cost over $250. By the way, you can quickly retrieve needed information to compare services and prices without leaving your home by using computer search engines.

Ad Walker

Looking for a fun time at the office. Toss this stress relief toy at the wall and watch it crawl down the wall advertising your company logo to remind employees and clients of your great products and services.

It can be a difficult task to think of ways for your logo to be remembered, but adding your logo to the ad walker will also imprint your logo in the minds of onlookers. Take a break and have some FUN with a logoed Ad Walker.
