Must Be Jelly
The Pitch: OMG! This is the perfect product if you are targeting tween and teen girls: It's a soft and stretchy jelly watch made of silica gel from Winner Promos Inc. (asi/97205).Pricing on item EWP04158 starts at a reasonable 500; $2.86. Check it out here: http://www.winnerpromos.com/ViewProduct.aspx?productID=643.
The Bottom Line: Right on time.

Hey There, Cookie

The Pitch: We visited a couple of colleges this weekend with our 17-year-old and I particularly liked the swan-shaped custom cookies served at one of them (they have two swans on their lake, that's why). I thought that was a fun (and delicious) idea (and I was starving at the time). Speaking of deliciousness, AP Specialties (asi/30208) has cooked up new cake-shaped shortbread cookies with a 3D logo that would be great for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and more. They are individually wrapped and sold per dozen. Pricing starts at: 8 dozen; $1.29.

The Bottom Line: That's a mouthful.

That's Fruity
The Pitch: Here's how to liven up a study session: Fruit-scented highlightersfrom Aakron Rule Corp. (asi/32070). Different colors bring different scents like banana, strawberry, grape and more. College kids will eat these up, but they would be equally appreciated in any office environment. Pricing on item 80-11400 starts at : 250; $1.15.

The Bottom Line: Just the highlights.

ID, Please
The Pitch: I like bars and parties and I like this item for bars and parties. Item BBC-139 is a PVC bottle charm that helps people identify their beer bottles. You could put a little bowtie on your bottle or a little purse or a custom character and lots of other options. How cute is that? They are from Fantasia Inc. (asi/53640). Pricing starts at: 500; $1.78 and you can check them out here: http://fantasialogo.com/UI/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=314.
The Bottom Line: Hangin' around.
