For Starters
The Pitch: Of course, we must start with the appetizers. You've seen the plastic variety of this type of item, but this is a little more high-end. Item WD-Oval is from JK Adams (asi/63017). It's an oval-shaped appetizer plate/wine glass holder for simultaneously carrying a wine glass and sampling hors d'oeuvres. And here's what makes it special: It's made in Vermont from oiled maple. This is just what your clients need for special events and other corporate functions. Pricing starts at: one for $12-P. Click here: https://www.jkadams.com/.
The Bottom Line: Hold steady.

Soup's On
The Pitch: Any meal is made cozier with a nice bowl of soup. Punch Products USA (asi/80060) offers item SMS44, the Soup Mug Soupreme. It holds 15 ounces and has a bowl-like base with a spoon in the lid for easy storage. An individual gift box is included. It's also good for your morning oatmeal and it's microwave and dishwasher safe. Plus it's BPA and lead free and California Prop 65 compliant. Think about this for any employee gift, a gift-with-purchase promotion, and also for college bookstores. Pricing starts at: 144; $7.30-R. Click here: http://www.vision1usa.com/.
The Bottom Line: Warm regards.

The Main Course
The Pitch: Now for the main meal. For this, I present the Organic Italian Feast from California Delicious (asi/43464).Item #7899 comes packed in a red colander and includes Coppola's Mammarella pasta sauce, which features organically grown tomatoes, herbs, vegetables and olive oil. It also comes with Mammarella pasta, bread sticks and a chocolate bar. This would make a unique client loyalty gift or simply a cheery "thank you for your business." Or hey, how about sending this to a lost client with something like, "only pasta should be strained; let's save our relationship!" See? I am always thinking. Pricing starts at: one for $49.95-T.See it here: http://www.givensandcompany.com/.
The Bottom Line: Eat this up.

Happy Ending
The Pitch: And now, we have come to my favorite part of the meal... dessert! Postcake Company (asi/79051) offers truly decadent cakes; so decadent, in fact, that they have been spotlighted on Her Cheeriness Rachel Ray's show. Plus, get this: You can get a sample for $15 net each by using the coupon code ASI10. See their delectable offerings here: http://www.postcake.com/.
The Bottom Line: Now that we've enjoyed an entire meal together, go ahead and have the very best day off tomorrow!
