Banda Journal
Cork is everywhere these days because of its environmentally friendly
appeal and interesting texture. With a partial cork cover, this journal stands
out for its distinctive, eye-catching style. The perforated sheets of acid-free
80-gram paper, as well as a lay-flat binding, make it a pleasure to write on
as well. The color-matched bookmark ribbon is the icing on the cake.

Dual-Light Flashlight
The Nightstick model NSP-2422R Dual-Light™ Flashlight is no
ordinary flashlight. In technical terms: “It uses a CREE® LED rated
at 130 lumens with a high-efficiency deep parabolic reflector,
creating a flashlight beam with an effective range of over 590 feet.”
In laymen’s terms: it’s awesome. What’s really cool is that it has a
110-lumen floodlight built into the handle and both lights can be
turned on at the same time. It’s also waterproof and tough—it has
an impact- and chemical-resistant engineered polymer housing. The
magnet in the base of the handle and the pocket clip mean there’s
no reason to hold it in your mouth when you need your hands free.

Clear Front Carry-On
This full-color carry-on with changeable front-face designs will bring your
product to life by turning your suitcase into a rolling advertising opportunity,
commanding attention among the vast sea of traditional black bags being
wheeled through airports. With a hard shell for maximum strength and
resistance, 360-degree eight-wheel spinners and retractable top handle and side
grab handles with a gel cushion, it’s also practical and easy to maneuver.

Summit Cooler Tote
Most coolers are either extremely masculine or
extremely plain. These cute cooler totes are the exact
opposite. Colorful, vibrant and fashionable—and most
importantly, not too large to carry, they appeal to the
50 percent of the population (actually 50.8 percent)
that is female. School sports teams, girls’ trips, charity
walks/runs, retail stores, restaurants, festivals, food
fairs … the types of events and businesses these
totes could promote are virtually endless.
