Howdy, folks. My little nephew has been with us since Thursday and so far, we’ve seen the Liberty Bell (not all it’s cracked up to be), a minor league baseball game (fun, but hot!) and Toy Story 3 (adorable!). So Aunt Kathy is pooped. But not too pooped to bring you your Monday Hot Deals. Enjoy this edition. Send your feedback directly to: khuston@asicentral.com. It may be published in a future issue of Advantages magazine. For free information on products featured in Advantages, click here: www.advantagesinfo.com.

Play Misty for Me
The Pitch: So yesterday, at the above-mentioned Trenton Thunder baseball game, we had great seats, practically right on the field to the side of home plate. Only problem was, it was one of those 91-degree, but it feels like 180 degrees days and we couldn’t be more directly in the sun. Besides the 100+ sunscreen I brought, we were forced to buy a misting fan for some semblance of relief. I think it would be an excellent idea for sports venues to give each attendee one of these fans as they enter as a promotion. Way2Cool Inc. (asi/95735) offers all kinds of cool misting fans, including item FA0005G, which is translucent, has a flip-top ice port and a durable neck strap. Pricing starts at: 96; $8.45-R. Check it out: http://way2coolpromo.com/.
The Bottom Line: Spray away.

Scents & Sensibility
The Pitch: This time, the ice cream is on you … literally. Clique Here (asi/45356) offers scented T-shirtsand item DUR-10-01BK-VN is a women’s tee with an ice cream cone on front that really smells like ice cream. How cool is that? Obviously, this is a great idea for ice cream shops and teens would eat these up. Pricing starts at: 100; $14.99-R.  Email the COO, Bill Wallace for info on all the possibilities: bwallace@cliquehere.com.
The Bottom Line: I smell a sale.

Out, Damned Spot!
The Pitch: Last night, at a Mexican restaurant, my nephew got taco sauce all over his brand-new Yankees jersey, so I am trying to get those stains out for him. My opinion is, you can never have too many of these hanging around: Spot Sticks from AZX Sport America (asi/30250) are instant stain removers that remove many common stains, like coffee, grape juice, wine, BBQ sauce, tomato juice and more. These are great for any market, really and pricing starts at: 50; $2.25-P.  Go here: http://www.aztex.com.
The Bottom Line: Clean-up act.

Go for the Goal
The Pitch: Well, all eyes are on soccer these days (tough break, USA), and the fact is there are plenty of soccer lovers all year long … a few right in our own editorial department. GW Crystal Inc. (asi/55609)has an awesome crystal soccer ball business card holder that would be a perfect employee or executive gift. Pricing starts at: 24; $25-R.Click here: http://www.gwcrystal.com/.
The Bottom Line: Have a ball.
