| Fall’s unmistakably coming. Days are getting shorter, the temperature’s starting to drop, and pretty soon summer will be a distant memory. But fall doesn’t have to be all about being cooped up indoors. Products that emanate heat or light can be very comforting on cool fall nights – and throughout the chilly winter, too. | |

| SMOKIN’. Few things say
summer than the aroma of outdoor cooking. But it’s possible to
invoke memories of beach parties and backyard cookouts by grilling
all yearlong. This portable grill will satisfy even barbecue
purists – it can cook food over charcoal or smoke it with wood,
and, in a pinch, can even be used in a fireplace for totally
indoor use.With its high-perceived value, it can make a good prize
for an end-of-summer company picnic or in a company store program. Ask for asi/37655 – specify Fall Imprint |

|
|
| HELPING HAND. Car dealers,
repair shops, insurance companies and other auto-related
businesses can help show their concern for their customers’
safety with this double-duty item. It looks and functions like an
ordinary flashlight, but open it up and you’ll find a number of
helpful tools. Beyond the auto arena, the product would likely be
appreciated anywhere; one of the two would come in handy. Think
new home buyers, apartment/office renters, dorm residents, etc. Ask for asi/48500 – specify Fall Imprint |

|
| SLEEK & SUBTLE. Even
those who have everything could find some use for this versatile
pocket light. Folded, it functions as a mini flashlight. Open, it
can be used as either a small table lamp or clip-on booklight.
Travelers, business commuters and others who are on the go – or
who simply like to read in bed – can appreciate its versatility
and compact construction. Ask for asi/37658 – specify Fall Imprint |

| RECIPE FOR RELAXATION. When
the stress gets to be too much – pretty much every other day for
most of us – recipients of this all-natural aromatherapy neck
pillow can appreciate its soothing comfort. The best part is that
it can be heated to relax tired muscles or frozen for more cooling
applications. Airlines, trains and bus lines can use them to make
passengers’ rides more comfortable, while gyms, spas, beauty
salons or just about any other type of business can use them to
encourage clients to pamper themselves. Also available in
keyboard, eye pillow, belted lumbar, wrist and hand/foot warmer
and basic styles. Ask for asi/56760 – specify Fall Imprint |

|
| MULTITASKER. Another entry in
the “more than meets the eye” category, this flashlight not
only has all the things you’d expect – a bright white Krypton
bulb, shatterproof lens and contemporary design – but a little
something extra that could come in handy. Its three-position
switch features a Morse-code option, which could be useful to
weekend adventurers or those in the military, law enforcement or
other like professions. It’s also surprisingly durable, which
anyone can appreciate. Ask for asi/32145 – specify Fall Imprint |

|
|
| CLASSIC COMFORT. There’s
something to be said for simple pleasures. This elegantly styled
candle is one of them. Recipients will appreciate the soothing
scent of the lavender candle. And after the candle is used up,
they can store jewelry, loose change, candy or anything else in
the attractive box. It looks equally well on any executive desk or
at home on a bureau or mantel. Ask for asi/67520 – specify Fall Imprint |

|
| FUN WITHOUT SUN. Even when
it’s dark outside, you can have fun inside with these
glow-in-the-dark products. They can light up bars, clubs, school
dances and other indoor activities, or can add some playfulness to
your next indoor or nighttime company event. The beach ball
includes one light stick; the flying disc has six. Just activate
the light sticks, inflate the products and enjoy for six to
12-plus hours. They can also add some light to parades, concerts
or sporting events. Ask for asi/44888 – specify Fall Imprint |

|
| COMPACT CONVENIENCE. For
those who simply don’t have time to relax and enjoy a hot cup of
coffee or tea, this mug warmer can be a welcome addition,
especially where a coffeepot or microwave isn’t always
accessible. Its small size makes sure it doesn’t take up too
much room on a counter or desk. It could be a useful gift for
office workers, teachers, mechanics – actually just about anyone
with a busy schedule or limited space. Ask for asi/52710 – specify Fall Imprint |

|
|
|
| PARTY FAVOR. Anyone using
this mug at a get-together won’t have to worry about losing
their drink in a dark room. Just add batteries, gently tap the
base and the whole thing lights up. A fun addition to your next
business meeting, picnic or other event, or an interesting change
of pace for bars, nightclubs, restaurants, schools, etc. They’re
also available in other styles (12-ounce tumblers or coffee mugs)
and light-colors (clear, blue, citrus, red or green.) Ask for asi/61952 – specify Fall Imprint |
