Mini Luggage Scale for travelers

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

Mini Luggage Scale

Airline baggage regulations are a drag.

This handy scale lets you weigh luggage (up to 50 pounds) so there are no surprises at the baggage check counter. It also has a built-in tape measure so you can double-check that your carry-on items will be allowed on board.

You can also use it to measure and weigh small children and pets, although we recommend exercising extreme caution when picking them up with the stainless steel hook. Unless Sally and Fido are imaginary, in which case my guess is they weigh 0 lbs. Did I just win a prize with that guess?

Wrinkled clothes are the curse of every traveler. Look like a local with the Voyager Travel Iron!

This iron is the size of a computer mouse, and pops open to reveal a non-stick sole plate and an integrated sewing kit. It heats up to 338 degrees (F) to smooth most wrinkles.

You’ll never find a more unique gift idea for the traveling business person. It comes with a cord!

Promotional Totes and Coolers

Monday, May 12th, 2008

Tote bags are one of the most popular promotional products of all time. They can be given to attendees at trade shows, meetings and conferences. They make great business gifts, especially when filled with other items. New employees appreciate receiving a logo tote bag on their first day on the job that they can use to carry training materials home in.

Non-woven polypropylene bags are recycled and eco-friendly. They are a great new alternative to traditional nylon bags, and are especially popular for carrying groceries and other purchases in.

Coolers and insulated bags come in numerous styles. They make great travel promotions, can be used at picnics or on the beach, at outdoor concerts and festivals, or sporting events. In the southern states, we have even heard of coolers being used to transport electronics and CD or DVD purchases home from the store, so they don’t melt in the car! Not to mention that for those who pack their own lunches for work or school, insulated lunch bags are a necessity.

Jessica Koronka shows a few of the most popular bag styles in this video:

Monday, May 5th, 2008

This useful toiletry bag is a must for any frequent flyer who likes to take a carry-on. The 6-piece set includes a funnel and five containers that all meet the requirements set by the Transportation Security Administration—two 2-oz. bottles, one 2-oz. spray bottle, and one 3-oz. bottle. All pieces are clear so that security officials can easily see contents.

Present the Air Safe Toiletry Kit to your employees or clients who travel for business. Your logo will go with them on every trip…your logo will go to the bathroom with them!

Alicia Klein Promotional Products

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

During a recent trip to Printable Promotions, Sandy and Craig from Leeds whipped out their Alicia Klein line of promotional products…now available in RED (Sandy’s favorite color. It matches her luggage.) Also available in black, to match her shoes. Sandy is a sparkly sweet lady, although she’s never seen Caddyshack with Bill Murray, which does makes me wonder about her.

The Alicia Klein brand is geared towards a female audience, and includes products such as luggage tags, bookmarks, business cases, computer bags, and wallets. Any of these items would be a good welcome gift for new employees, recognition gift for achievements or could be used as part of a motivational or incentive program. Women attending meetings, conferences or other business events will appreciate the padfolio, junior padfolio or business card case.

In the video you will notice that the entire Alicia Klein collection will fit in Craig’s back pocket. That is because Craig is wearing magic pants. See for yourself:

And just in case you were wondering: Corporate fashion in the promotional products industry has a new name — Alicia Klein®. A trend-setter in the retail world, the Alicia Klein brand now brings its stylish vision to Leed’s. With a modern and functional interpretation of classic shapes, presented in a beautiful palette of leathers, textures, and colors, it proves why it’s destined to be on everyone’s “hot” list.
