Laptop Sleeve
Sometimes you don’t want a brand’s logo front and
center on a product you carry with you every day.
Numo’s City Cut And Sew line of products, such
as this simple, classy laptop sleeve, makes subtle
branding part of its appeal. A brand’s logo goes on
the colored nylon lining of the padded interior as a
subtle reminder to the user. You can choose from
many fabric, lining and zipper colors and all the
products are made right here in the USA.

Waterproof Phone Bag
This bag solves the problem of traveling with your phone in wet
conditions because it lets you actually use the phone, including
making and receiving phone calls, through the bag. If you’re a
diver, skier, adventurer or anyone who takes a phone places where
it could get wet, you’d be happy to take this useful item along and
save your phone from falling victim to your own clumsiness.

Bottle Opener Sunglasses
Bottle openers are placed
just about everywhere these
days, but I’ve never seen a
bottle opener on sunglasses
until now. These feature a
bottle opener at the end of
the earpiece and both the
earpiece and the lenses can
be branded. You can protect
your eyes from the sun
and pop open your favorite
beverage at the same time
while promoting your favorite
team. That’s a win.

Old English Beer Tankard
It holds 20 ounces of beer or serves as a trophy or award. I’d go with the beer,
myself. Made from aluminum satin nish with a zinc die cast handle, the tankard
can be 3D engraved with a logo or individual names. Plus, it’s just cool.
