Notes pop up one at a time making them easier to grab and stick on what ever it is you need a post-it note on. The notes are printed with your logo facing up and then the notes are rotated as they are made into a pad, making sure that your personalized logo is always correct when the note is in use. As will all of our Post-it Note Pads we offer free setup, free shading, free PMS color matching and free ruled lines.

New Years 2010

What are your New Years Resolutions for 2010?  Is it to lose 10 pounds?  Spend more time with your kids?  Start a new hobby?  To eat more organic foods?

Well if your resolutions have anything to do with becoming more eco-friendly or adding to your promotional strategy for your company, let us help!  The Go Green Fad will likely remain strong throughout 2010, and consumers are looking more and more for companies and products that value the earth and their dollar!

So here are a few of our brand new ideas for eco-friendly promotional products – brand them with your company info and watch your sales grow in Twenty-Ten!

Being Eco-Friendly is really about taking small, simple steps towards replacing things we use everyday with things that are more Earth-Friendly.

For example, many companies buy hundreds if not thousands of ink pens each year with their branding.  Try replacing your standard metal or plastic pens with our recycled paper or corn plastic pens.

Does your school or sports team order t-shirts or hoodies each season?  Try our wide selection of branded clothing made from Organic Cotton or Bamboo!

Or think about replacing those multi-page pamphlets or College Course Catalogs with USB drives – we can preload all of our data onto a flash drive, which can then be handed out – and will be kept and appreciated rather than tossed in the recycle bin (or heaven forbid, the trashcan!)

New Years Resolutions Jokes

We hope you enjoy this from Readers Digest.com

Spending more time with family:
Families are complicated enough, but things became even more confusing after my father decided to get married to my brother’s mother-in-law. “Now I can’t make up my mind whether he’s my dad or my father-in- law,” says my brother, “or if my mother-in-law is now my stepmother, or whether my child is my daughter or my niece.” — Oscar Reagan

Getting in shape:
A friend of mine had resisted efforts to get him to run with our jogging group until his doctor told him he had to exercise. Soon thereafter, he reluctantly joined us for our 5:30 a.m. jogs on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

After a month of running, we decided that my friend might be hooked, especially when he said he had discovered what “runner’s euphoria” was. “Runner’s euphoria,” he explained, “is what I feel at 5:30 on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.” — Neil P. Budge

Starting that diet:
My friend Kimberly announced that she had started a diet to lose some pounds she had put on recently.

“Good!” I exclaimed. “I’m ready to start a diet too. We can be dieting buddies and help each other out. When I feel the urge to drive out and get a burger and fries, I’ll call you first.”

“Great!” she replied. “I’ll ride with you.” — Katina Fisher

Quitting smoking
:
I discussed peer pressure and cigarettes with my 12-year-old daughter. Having struggled for years to quit, I described how I had started smoking to “be cool.”

As I outlined the arguments kids might make to tempt her to try it, she stopped me mid-lecture, saying, “Hey, I’ll just tell them my mom smokes. How cool can it be?” — Judi Moore

Eating healthier:
The teacher in our Bible class asked a woman to read from the Book of Numbers about the Israelites wandering in the desert. “The Lord heard you when you wailed, ‘If only we had meat to eat!’ ” she began. “Now the Lord will give you meat. You will not eat it for just one day, or two days, or five, or ten or twenty days, but for a month—until you loathe it.”

When the woman finished, she paused, looked up, and said, “Hey, isn’t that the Atkins diet?”  — David Martino

Reducing your debt
:
Neighbors of ours had a terrible disagreement over a patio they wanted for their backyard. The wife had rather grand ideas, while the husband wanted costs kept to a minimum. The wife won out, and the construction bill climbed higher and higher.

I dropped by one day, when the patio was near completion, and was surprised to find the husband smiling from ear to ear as the workmen smoothed over the surface. I remarked how nice it was to see a grin replace the frown he had been wearing lately.

“You see where they’re smoothing that cement?” he replied. “I just threw my wife’s credit cards in there.” — R. Horn

Learning new things
:
I was trying to decide what to do for a talent show I planned to enter. Trusting my mother to help me out, I asked, “For the show, what do you think I should do, sing or put on a comedy act?”

Glancing up from her paper, she said dryly, “What’s the difference?” — Kimmie Helk

Better teeth care:
Just because one owns a business doesn’t mean it has to be all business. This sign in a dentist’s office proves that point: “Be True to Your Teeth, or They Will Be False to You.” — James Wertz

Becoming more organized:
My friend’s husband is always telling her that housekeeping would be a snap if only she would organize her time better. Recently he had a chance to put his theory into practice while his wife was away.

When I popped in one evening to see how he was managing, he crowed, “I made a cake, frosted it, washed the kitchen windows, cleaned all the cupboards, scrubbed the kitchen floor, walls and ceiling and even had a bath.”

I was about to concede that perhaps he was a better manager than his wife, when he added sheepishly, “When I was making the chocolate frosting, I forgot to turn off the mixer before taking the beaters out of the bowl, so I had to do all the rest.” — Mary I. Costain

Drinking less
I was waiting tables in a noisy lobster restaurant in Maine when a vacationing Southerner stumped me with a drink order. I approached the bartender. “Have you ever heard of a drink called ‘Seven Young Blondes’?” I asked. He admitted he’d never heard of it, and grabbed a drink guidebook to look it up. Unable to find the recipe, he then asked me to go back and tell the patron that he’d be happy to make the drink if he could list the ingredients for him. “Sir,” I asked the customer, “can you tell me what’s in that drink?”

He looked at me like I was crazy. “It’s wine,” he said, pronouncing his words carefully, “Sauvignon blanc.” — Christie Eckels

Good Recycling vs Bad Recycling

Some differences between a Good Rrecycler and a Not-So-Good Recycler:

GOOD RECYCLER: You fill up the recycle bin every week with cans, bottles, and jars.
NOT SO GOOD: You give the recycle bin to the kids to use as a toboggan.

GOOD RECYCLER: You take your used motor oil to the nearest recycling station or collection facility.
NOT SO GOOD: You avoid the used-oil problem by never-changing your oil. You recycle engines instead.

GOOD RECYCLER: You recycle not only your newspapers but also your phone books, magazines, and cardboard boxes.
NOT SO GOOD: You leave your newspapers in the bathroom stall at work after you’re done. Doesn’t that count?

Whether you are a good or no-so-good recycler, check out our Promotional Products that are made from recycled materials.  Your clients will appreciate some earth-friendly schwag!

Are Biodegradable Drinking Bottles Really Safe?

The first time I saw a plastic water bottle that was marketed as being biodegradable I thought, “Cool!   Wait…what makes this start to degrade?  What if this starts degrading when I’m drinking out of it…or in the heat of the dishwasher?  What if my kids drink of out of this as it is falling apart, won’t they be digesting plastic and chemicals and what else?”

So we did some research!

Biodegradable plastic bottles and coffee mugs etc need a microbial environment to start biodegrading, like a landfill.

Here is an excerpt from BioGreen.com, a leader in biodegrable plastics and manufacturer of the very popular BioGreen Bottles and now the Hollywood Biogreen Bottle which better explains the process:

“Degradable means the plastic is only broken down into smaller pieces and will never completely disappear as is the case with starch based plastics. In many cases these products begin to degrade the moment they are made which leads to a shortened useful life. However this is not the case with BioGreen PlasticTM.

Products made with BioGreen Plastic do not begin biodegrading until they are placed into an active microbial environment such as landfills or compost piles.  The process takes from approximately 1-5 years.

The additive is completely organic, non-starch based and non-destructive to the environment. It is also non-toxic and actually helps the environment. This additive creates an accelerated biodegradable cycle which occurs in landfills or compost facilities. The final product left behind with BioGreen is Humus and Methane (Bio-Mass and Bio-gas). The humus can be used as new soil to grow plants in and the methane may be harvested into fuel.”

BioGreen Bottles are made in the United States, are California Proposition 65-compliant, FDA Food Contact Safe and BPA-, DEHA- and DEHP-free. They are unaffected by light, heat or humidity and are top-shelf dishwasher safe.

So it basically comes down to: our BioGreen Bottles are a great eco-friendly alternative and they can’t begin deteriorating until they are placed in a landfill.

Sounds good, right?

Here are some of the top selling Biodegradable Bottles we are now offering – Customize them with your company logo!

The Hollywood BioGreen Water Bottle

The hollywood bottle comes in 6 standard colors, or with a minimum order of 1,000 bottles you can choose from one of 50 premium colors for only a few cents more per bottle!
