| Stashed in a convenient zippered
case, this pocket/purse-sized cell-phone recharger kit features
– in addition to the recharger, naturally – four different
adapters, a nine-volt battery, instructions and even a neck
lanyard. In other words, everything you need. Ask for asi/90141– specify Spring Imprint |

Style-wise, this metal desk/shelf
clock is attractive, unisex, and can blend into most decors. Take
into account the rotating triangular display panel, however, and
it becomes the subtle center of attention. |

| Again, it’s not the product as
much as it’s being just a little left of center. On the
functional side, this note cube pad is conveniently compact and
features self-adhesive, repositionable leaves. Nothing that
amazing, except that it’s also likely the first note cube to
picture the Mona Lisa with a spiked hairdo on reverse side. Ask for asi/62747– specify Spring Imprint |

| Not that it’s a surprise to
Imprint readers, but there’s always something new being done to
the old reliable ballpoint. This variation looks kind of like a
translucent cigar – robusto size – with a bumpy soft-rubber
band dead-center. Push one side against the other, though, and it
becomes a very cool-looking gel-ink pen. In four colors. Ask for asi/47520 – specify Spring Imprint |

| There may have been a dot.com
shakeout, but Net commerce is – as you’re no doubt aware –
far from dead, or even badly injured. These serious-sized
stoneware mugs can feature several full-relief symbols, among them
www, @, .org, .edu, .com, and more. Colors available as well. Ask for asi/68459 – specify Spring Imprint |

| This pocket flashlight is made of
translucent plastic with soft rubber inserts. So are others.
It’s roughly the size of a matchbook Again, so are others. This
one, though, also features an LED so bright you find yourself
looking at its size again. It has a life of 100,000 hours and
comes with two lithium batteries. Ask for asi/55980 – specify Spring Imprint |

|
| All put together, it’s kind of a
neat-looking little snap-together plastic model. Unconstructed,
however, it’s a promotional piece that can be mailed in a
standard #10 envelope. Using 2-D to send a client 3-D. Ya gotta
love it. Ask for asi/79933– specify Spring Imprint |

|
| Yeah, it’s unquestionably edging
toward the strange side. No argument there at all. Still, how
could you not like something as completely out-there as a claw
hammer with a leopard-spotted handle and adorned with a mini
feather boa? Displayable kitsch just doesn’t get any better. Ask for asi/97258 – specify Spring Imprint |
