We are going to say the forbidden word. No one make any sudden movements… LULULEMON. 👀 Every clothing brand tries to climb the quality, look, and feel kind of summit Lululemon seems to have elevated up to. Many brands have come close but… not quite. Fear not — your experts in all things swag-alicious have done an endless deep dive: samples on samples, searches on searches, blood… sweat… tears (slightly dramatic, but this is HUGE). We have found a set of sweatpants and pullov

RINGO. It sounds like the name of a very majestic, colorful, vibrant, loud, tropical bird or your absolutely unhinged and poppin’-off emu (if you don’t know what those are, I highly recommend you get to googling this fantastic creature right now) that your neighbor owns as a pet that gets out at the crack A$$ of dawn far too often. At this point, your neighbor’s scream, “RINGOOOO!” from their farmer’s porch before you even have time to open your eyelids, and it now has become

NO LARRY, dear God… not sometimes ! You think we sometimes come across a product that makes us go, “well how the F&*K am I supposed to use this thing, Kathy?!” or “Bob, does it need batteries or something, ‘cause I don’t have triple A’s on me!” We come across a product like this all the time, and it brings us the purest form of joy to get a sample, sit down (with coffee... or tequila), and figure it out FOR you…yes, YOU reading this very blog! When you have a me (KG) around,

YOU DID IT. You woke up for your 5 AM alarm, you packed your luggage with pristine accuracy to the point where (if it were human or had any sort of feelings/emotions) the list you made is even shocked that you got your 40 pairs of shoes and 20 outfits (you definitely don’t need) under the 50 lb weight limit! You begin to believe everything is really going your way for this trip when you have a whole row to yourself UNTIL…you’re met with the dreaded…plug-in headphones. Those s

March is Employee Appreciation Month, which means it’s a great excuse to slow down for a second and recognize the people who show up every day and keep things running—often without much fanfare. And no, appreciation doesn’t have to be a big production. In fact, it’s usually the simple, thoughtful stuff  that lands best. Why It Matters Work is busy. Calendars are packed. Slack never stops. It’s easy for hard work to quietly go unnoticed. Taking time to say “hey, we see you” ca

Hey, you. Don’t think we didn’t just see you reach into the abyss of those pant pockets only to pull out the most disappointing, flimsy, lifeless-looking wallet we have ever laid our eyes on. Our thoughts are as follows: “It’s such a shame we cannot unsee that.” (KIDDING… well, sort of.) And HEY YOU, with the scary silicone phone wallet that looks like it couldn’t hold up against a mild gust of wind… yeah, you aren’t safe either. We are going to hold your hand when we tell yo

“Hey, it’s me!” Does anyone else love to answer the phone like that… knowing full well there is caller ID revealing your identity regardless. That’s the statement I chose to lead the blog with today, because we don’t have caller ID on a glorious piece of writing. It’s just me and my wild thoughts. Who is this “me” person though, you might be wondering? It is your very own KG (aka...Kellie) on the blog mic as we reintroduce our KG’s Kicka$$ Keepers series! This series is all a

Dear Diary, As we write this passage, it is December 3rd, 2025. We had our first snowfall here in New England, and while some of you might be thinking “awe, how magical!” …it wasn’t. Staying true to honest New England weather, it down poured shortly after the snowfall, making the roads slushy, icy, and, well …miserable to drive on. All this to say – we are day one into what feels like is about to be the LONGEST WINTER EVER. " Waaa", they cry, as they bundle up and place a ver

When you go to a tradeshow, what do you see…immediately? When your tired traveling eyes set their gaze upon the tradeshow floor and you take a hefty look around, what catches your pupils? Booths. That’s right. Banners, Booth, and table throws…OH MY! The same fabric, hardware, and setup that all your competitors, comrades, and cohorts are doing. Not to mention have you ever tried to set up this display at an event and questioned if you should have paid closer attention in phys

A new year means one thing in the world of high-performing teams: SKO season . Sales Kickoffs are the spark that sets the tone for the year—your moment to rally the team, align on strategy, and build unstoppable momentum. And while the agenda, speakers, and content matter, there’s one element that quietly (and sometimes loudly) makes your SKO unforgettable: the swag . At NorthPoint, we say it all the time— swag is strategy.  When used intentionally, it shows appreciation, dee

You know it and we know it…there are two types of people in this world: those who might think they have their sh*t together and those who have been introduced to the brand Timbuk2 . Founded in the sunny, bright, and lively city of San Francisco by a bike messenger who probably had thighs of concrete and steel, as well as zero patience for flimsy/suck-y bags. Timbuk2 has spent years (decades…that’s a lot of years) engineering gear that survives an “on-the-move” type of life in

Please (and we mean PLEASE) forgive us for what we are about to say… Winter is upon us. * Queue the internal scream from the fiery pits of your lungs* . We know it’s a tough reality to accept. The sun sets at (what feels like) noon, we arise from our slumber from our work alarm only to see our own breath, have to preheat our vehicles, and the puffer jacket (that you put away in celebration what feels like just a week ago) is making a fresh appearance to the outside world. Sum

Good GOD… we know you’ve all been there. You’re on the road, juggling 3000 different devices, searching for a charger like your life depends on it, and praying to the lord in heaven your laptop can hang on for dear life for “just one more email” to your boss letting him know you missed your flight (for the second time today), there is no availability at any of the local hotels so it’s looking like the airport floor tonight, every electronic you own is on E, and you made a pit

It’s TIME! It’s time for what? It’s time to let your personality step to the front. Drop the polite, and be the real you—lean into the weird and out-of-pocket way of life, it’s okay! Haven’t you ever heard, “no two snowflakes are alike”? Well, neither are people (some of you might argue about the concept of twins, but even they have differences). Our point is, not everyone will fit in the same mold, so quit trying to be a walking fish when you were born to swim. Okay, well, a

When you’re looking for high-impact swag, budget-friendly event giveaways, brand promotions or field-marketing kits, the right sticker format can make all the difference. At NorthPoint, we carry a full spectrum of custom-sticker options, from affordable workhorses to premium show-pieces.

Mary Poppins, we know you have that one-of-a-kind bag that goes on endlessly and for eternity. GIRL, the amount that you pull from the bottomless pit is insane… spill the tea/kiss and tell… where can we get one?! Marc Jacobs, we see you and that trending The Tote Bag… that’s $450. Biggest sigh in the world. It is a humbling experience to open your wallet and watch the flies come out of the cash pocket or feel like you have to work a double shift bartending to even just breath

Let’s be honest—once you’ve felt that buttery-soft, move-with-you fabric from Lululemon or Vuori, it’s hard to go back. But what if you could get that same luxe feel and performance-driven comfort without the designer price tag? *Enter our Lifestyle Apparel Collection *  — a curated lineup of Lululemon and Vuori-inspired pieces  designed for every part of your day. Whether you’re hitting the gym, heading into the office, or lounging at home, this collection blends performanc

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. But in our controversial opinion… no, it isn't. It can’t capture the vast openness of where the ocean meets the sky under a blanket of warm blues and dim pinks and purples. You can’t fully grasp the bright, overwhelming essence of the full moon against a dark sky, no matter how descriptive you try explaining it to Caroline from HR. Our (poetic) point being, sometimes you need to be in the presence of something to experience how am

Commuting to the office is hard, waking up in the cold mornings and leaving your cozy bed is hard, trying to make it through the last 30 minutes of work on a Friday is difficult, and realizing you don’t have a small sweet treat to make the day just a touch better is the catastrophic cherry on top . We get it, we really do. We understand that a little bit of chocolate could turn the day and your mood right around. So fear not, we come bearing  a smooth, indulgent, milk-chocol
