Just like many trends from the
‘70s and early ‘80s, it’s ba-ack. Then, it was called
ultrasuede. Today it’s known by the more technical-sounding “microsuede.”
And the “Monterey Bay” jacket is made of it. In a full range
of sizes and colors.

We’ve said it before –
packaging can occasionally make the product, but it can enhance it
much more often. These shaped satin-covered boxes, which can be
used to hold anything from candy to a couple of CDs, definitely
make a statement. In several stock shapes (truck, house, dollar
sign), but custom pieces are available, too.

Body of anodized aluminum,
pushbutton-style spring mechanism to clip it on a belt or bag loop
and a tempered split ring. Sounds like your standard carabiner-type
keytag. And it is – except that this one has some style added.

These handcuff-type plastic clamps
will keep cables, electrical cords and wires in order and in place. Available in six colors and three sizes, they also
have three imprint areas. Oh – unlike handcuffs, they unlock at the touch of a button.

Here’s a fun product that combines
a game played by many college students with a way to improve the
old hand-eye/hand-foot coordination. The “Myachi” is a bean
bag toy the size and shape of a disposable lighter. It’s
designed to be juggled and passed with the back of the hand and
the foot. Why? It’s fun.

Cards and bookmarks with seeds
embedded in them are actually nothing new. But these take this
idea at least a step further by an infusion of fresh juniper
clippings, adding an element of aromatherapy. Nice!

There’s nothing more frustrating
at the airport baggage carousel (talk about an ironic word) than
trying to figure out just which bags are yours. The “Luggage
Spotter Gripper” helps solve the problem. It wraps around the
handle of any bag, quickly distinguishing it from all the others.
It has a generous imprint area, a clear window to insert ID and
comes in five stock colors and several patterns.

You could call this high-tech in a
hurry. The “Pen Drive” is the latest gadget to transport data
to and from computers. Utilizing flash memory, it simply plugs
into any USB port on virtually any computer and off you go. As
it’s small and lightweight, it’s a great way to carry sales
presentations, videos, music, photos, e-mails and more.
