Wedding Program Fans as Hospital Giveaways!

Kaiser Permanente in California is ordering what we sell as wedding program fans to give to new mothers, printed with their corporate logo and various phone numbers, etc. on them. If they like the first batch, it will be an ongoing order! These are really classy fans, printed by thermography so they look like fine stationery. There are other fans out there geared to corporate giveaways--Carlson Craft just started offering some--but they are not as nice in quality. They found us because one of the people in charge of this project went to the wedding of one of my customers. Very cool!

OQO Model 01 - The Worlds Smallest Notebook Computer (pics)

Okay, I really want this cute little computer, the OQO! When the wedding program fans pick up again in the spring, I might have to get it. It would fit in my purse! It is the size of a blackberry, but heavier and runs Windows XP. I could port it to a monitor and keyboard at home and take it with me out and about. I could run Excel, Word, Photoshop, Acrobat, Illustrator--I'd be all set in or out of the office. AND the kids could have my old computer, so they wouldn't always be nagging me for a turn on it when I'm trying to work. And fitting in my purse, I figure it is less likely to get stolen or lost than a regular small notebook.

Maybe I could get it sooner if Christmas is big for us. Come on now, you know everyone on your list would LOVE personalized Post-it notes!

Christmas Gifts Already!

I am already seeing Christmas gift orders of personalized Post-it notes! In the last week I have had 3 orders of more than 3 sets, all with different names, two of them with the pad holders we now offer as well. Personalized Post-it notes really are awesome gifts for almost everyone at work and at home, and it seems the word is finally getting out!

Our holiday card mailing goes out in two weeks and I am almost finished addressing and stuffing the cards. Last year I sent out 500 cards in November; this year it will be almost 1400!

Our holiday card selection keeps growing online, and now we have some really nice photo cards, too. The internet people at Carlson Craft are still adding more cards through the end of this month.

More gift ideas coming soon!
