Hot Item: The Chair Blanket
*Deep, dramatic inhale through your nose* No, this isn’t a ground exercise for your anxiety (though if you are anxious, this blanket might help kill two birds with one bird feeder, or however that saying goes). We are engaging your senses here: smell the crackling oak logs burning in your fire pit (put the fuel starter down jimmy), hear the crisp fall night air as it whistles between the leaves of the trees (okay Pocahontas)… and finally, feel your seat underneath you, just t

Brand Feature: Dometic
“Define ‘roughing it,’” Harold asks as he tries to keep 34 cans of soda (fun soda… wink) icy cold and the cold cut sandwiches with cheese from melting, all while keeping his hands completely free so he can carry the rest of his gear and manage four kids and one dog. “What is the honest definition of disappointment?” Rose asked as they trudged into a President's Club retreat with the gift of a boxed notebook/pen set and a power bank, praying this suffices as a rewarding gift f

Why You Shouldn’t Send AI Artwork Straight to Your Print Vendor
AI has made it easier than ever to create an eye-catching piece of artwork in seconds. Need a retro illustration for a T-shirt? A futuristic graphic for an event? A cool pattern for a promotional product? A few prompts can get you surprisingly far. But there’s an important distinction between artwork that looks good on your screen and artwork that’s ready to be printed. When it comes to promotional products, apparel, signage, packaging, and other printed materials, AI-generat

Hot Item: The Champ Ring
“Great moments are born from great opportunity. And that’s what you have here, tonight, boys,” was one of the most inspiring one-liners given by Herb Brooks before a huge upset the USA laid down on the Soviets, going on to win an Olympic gold medal. Here is another incredible one-liner: “Memorable awards are born from unique gifting options. And that’s what NorthPoint has for you, forever, boys.” Just check the history books (it's not in there).

Hot Item: Frost Buddy's Universal Can Cooler
We have never been in your house or looked through your cabinets/drawers, but we would be willing to bet there is a graveyard of drinkware koozies and can coolers that you strategically try to hide from family/friends because it’s gotten that bad.

Close your eyes (hypothetically, because we still need you to read this blog with both eyes open) and imagine you’re doing your best to navigate a YEEHAW day filled with a trade show, running back-to-back client demos, and pulling an all-nighter at a venue where every wall outlet is already staked out.

Oh, you’re in for it now! Apparently, we’ve reached a point where if you take something normal, make it about 75% smaller, and put a keyring on it… we want it. We have entered the era of Mini-Mania, and truth be told, we saw this coming as far back as Christmas time 2025!

Hot Item: The Bogg Bag
AI would tell me to write, “Let’s up your beach bag game. It’s a chaotic world of beach bags, and a cotton tote shouldn’t be one of them.” While we agree that the population needs a great option for a sunny, sandy (dare we say wet) kind of day… maybe we’ll just share in our own wording what we have up our sleeve... Have you ever seen a sopping-wet pancake drenched in butter and syrup? It looks strikingly similar to some of the beach bag choices you’ve made in your past life (

You’re going about your day, EarFun earbuds in, vibing to “Mr. Brightside” by The Killers, and suddenly a street interviewer stops you and asks you a question you have never wanted to have to decide between in your life:“Would you rather lose your sight or your hearing?” deep-existential choice on a Tuesday morning, the answer hits you instantly.

Hot Item: The Caddy Splash Golf Club Water Brush Pro Cleaner
FOURRRRR… is not the number of boyfriends you should have at once! You need five to really feel complete. (KIDDING!) In all seriousness, that word ("fore") is something yelled while on (or off) a golf course. It’s the universal signal for “GET THE F&%$ OUT OF THE WAY!” because Uncle Bob didn’t have the Caddy Splash Golf Brush to clean the crevices of the club!
