Welcome to the dog days of summer. We hope you followed last month’s advice and put any vacation plans on hold. To whom it may concern, your dedication hasn’t gone unnoticed. As a reward, here’s the scoop on some additional promotional items.
Continental Marketing Services
Known primarily for their early work with mom jeans in the '80s, fanny packs are set to make a comeback in 2013. Working with Continental Marketing Services and changing their name to All-Star Fanny Pack, they are taking more edgy roles like “5K running accessory” and co-starring in the next Lars von Trier film. Meanwhile, their old child actor partner Corey Feldman is still, unfortunately, Corey Feldman. For more information, visit www.cmbags.com.
Magnet LLC
I love ice cream but I’m lactose intolerant. The solution? Magnet LLC’s Ice Cream Cone Magnet, which includes the phone number and location of my favorite ice cream shop. If you’re wondering how that solves the lactose problem, the answer is “Shhhhhhhhh, ice cream.” For more information, visit www.themagnetgroup.com.
S&S Activewear
When you need to blend into pumpkin patches, the Code V Camouflage Overdyed T-shirt from S&S Activewear is the tee for you. And if you don’t know why you would need to blend into a pumpkin patch, you need to rewatch “It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.” For more information, visit www.ssactivewear.com.
Bullet
Bullet’s Pillbox Carousel has several compartments that contain all the medication you need, and is a lot better than Pillbox Roulette, which contains five doses of life-saving emergency antibiotics and one chamber of Skittles. For more information, visit www.bulletline.com.
