ALICE MCCALLA Owner of Fully Promoted Houston SE & NE Fully Promoted PPAI 240143, Gold Houston, Texas McCalla points to the Sport-Tek Sport-Wick Stretch 1/4-Zip Pullover as a go-to choice and one she’d like to receive herself. Offered in men’s and women’s styles with a wide range of sizes and colors, it’s versatile enough to fit just about anyone and align with any brand palette. “It’s cost-effective and flexible enough for everyone,” McCalla says. The pullover features raglan sleeves, a tapered neck and open cuffs and hem for easy movement. A soft-brushed backing and smoothfaced finish give a polished look, while moisture control keeps it wearable all year. With multiple branding locations, it offers plenty of ways to showcase client logos or messaging. SanMar / PPAI 110788, Platinum / sanmar.com Another item McCalla recommends to clients is the 3-in-1 Chi-Charge Snap Wireless Charger. “With remote workers, it’s important to ensure they have the right tech gear so that they can connect with other team members,” McCalla says. Compact and travel-friendly, the charger easily powers a phone, Apple watch and AirPods simultaneously, making it a smart solution for work on the go. It also includes a compartment to store an adapter. Twintech Industries / PPAI 261545, Silver / twintechpromo.com “It’s important to stay hydrated, whether you are working at your desk or enjoying your time off,” McCalla says. A versatile product that fits the bill is the Urban Peak 25-oz. Portage Flip Straw Water Bottle. With a copper lining and vacuum-insulated liner, “it keeps drinks cold or hot as long or longer than those name brands with the sky-high price tag,” she adds. The dual-walled stainless-steel construction, sweat-free powder-coated finish and lead-free vacuum seal make this bottle durable and reliable, while the twist-off lid with built-in flip straw and carry handles adds to everyday convenience. Two detachable internal straws and a oneyear limited warranty are also included. “With the laser engraving or TruColor imprint, any brand really pops,” McCalla says. Starline / PPAI 112719, Platinum / starline.com Backpacks have been a great option, McCalla says. “Not only do they allow remote workers to pack all their essentials for work in one place, but they can also be used for personal travel.” A standout is the OGIO Roamer Pack, a client favorite for both business and leisure. The bag is checkpoint-friendly with a drawer-style laptop compartment that lays flat for faster airport screening, meaning no need to remove devices. It also features a large main compartment with mesh pockets, a secondary pocket for accessories and a deluxe organization panel with a key clip. With padded shoulder straps, a breathable back panel and a side mesh pocket for beverages, it’s designed for all-day comfort and purpose.
