People are usually split on the issue, some love having house guests and entertaining, while other people would rather be run over by a tractor trailer than deal with people in their homes creating messes that they have to clean up. I personally have always liked to entertain, but one of my biggest pet peeves when I have people over are the small rings that always appear on my wooden tables when the guests leave. Have people ever heard of coasters? It seems like out of a group there is always at least one that puts down their cold can or glass with ice without thinking and it always results in a permanently stained table. It drives me crazy, and when I was living at home, I would constantly be reminded by my mother to put my drinks on a coaster to prevent that same problem. Hand out Promotional Seed Coasters at Your next Trade Show At Custom Earth Promos, we offer a wide selection of seeded coasters. They're available in every color imaginable from chartreuse to plain white, and are all made from handcrafted, 100% recycled paper.

Many would argue that writing a letter is a lost art. Some see it as antiquated or archaic given the convenience, and immediacy of electronic communication. It is for this very reason that over the past few months, I have made a concerted effort to return to hand writing letters, as I feel that they possesses a degree of sincerity and purposefulness that cannot be found in an email or a text. Sitting down with a pen and a piece of paper removes all distractions that come between you and the person that you are corresponding with, and makes you focus wholly on what you want to convey to them. Some of the responses I've received have been among the most meaningful conversations I've had recently, and I would encourage anyone who is debating it to take the plunge and set aside some time to write a letter. If you are lucky, they will respond in turn with a hand written letter of their own, and you may find it adds a new dimension to the relationship.

This summer I have had the opportunity to get back into cycling, and now use my bike more than my car to get around. Not only is it significantly better for the environment and dramatically cuts down on my carbon footprint, but it has helped me lose weight and get in better shape than I had been before. I plug my headphones in and hop on my bike and can go wherever I want. Many cities include bike lanes now to make it friendlier for cyclists to ride instead of using public transit or cars. One problem that I encounter as a cyclist is the need to hydrate myself, especially in the warm summer months. Using a regular water bottle I can never seem to multitask and get the water in my mouth from the open lid while I'm riding. Cycle and Sports Bottles are an easy solution to this problem, as many bikes have holders specifically for sport water bottles that are easy to grab when you're riding. Bring Your Cycle and Sports Bottle next Time You Go Outdoors At Custom Earth Promos, we offer a wide variety of custom cycle and sports bottles, available in a variety of colors, and are manufactured from recycled PET, a strong, lightweight material that is resistant to breaking and sure to be a great companion when you're riding.

Consider a custom cycle and sports bottle, and make a statement about your commitment to the environment while also promoting and helping you maintain a healthy, active lifestyle.

For those with children, keeping them entertained may be one of the most challenging things a parent has to deal with. From long car rides desperately trying to get them to sleep, read books, or play games, to limiting TV time at home in favor of more educational activities; it is undoubtedly a hard job. I can remember at that age spending hours in front of the television-watching cartoon after cartoon with my parents pleading with me to come read with them or at the very least watch Jeopardy in hopes of absorbing some of the obscure knowledge that gets thrown around on that show. The one thing I did love was anything I could do with my hands, be it cutting out construction paper for any number of art projects or playing with action figures in elaborate imaginary games I would concoct. As I am older now and can look back on those memories, I think that it was my parents encouraging me to tap into creative outlets that were the most enriching and happiest times I spent growing up.

Of the 50 states, only California and Hawaii have formally banned plastic bags. Despite this, many other states have imposed restrictions on them, and many stores now require customers to pay extra at checkouts if they wish to use them. Every year, plastic bags create a tremendous amount of waste, and cost the government millions in clean up costs as many of them, improperly disposed of, end up in bodies of water and subsequently cause significant harm to plants and animals. In 2015, there is virtually no reason that plastic bags should exist anymore. At no other point in history have people had so much information at their disposal regarding pollution that it boggles the mind how anyone could in good conscious continue to use plastic bags knowing how harmful they are.

I see lanyards everywhere I go used in virtually every capacity that one could think of. People have them hanging off of their key chains, people have their name tags on them, and despite the incredibly simplistic concept and design there are seemingly an infinite number of uses for them.

After extensive research, therapists and psychiatrists throughout the country agree that actively keeping a journal is one of the healthiest ways to process and keep track of daily events in your life. I myself write in a journal every day, and can say that it has improved my life tremendously and greatly reduced my stress levels, as I'm able to look at things more objectively and respond to situations that arrive with a calm, clear head. Whether you've had a good day or a bad day, carving fifteen minutes out of your schedule can drastically improve your life. Journaling is a very personal process, and people have different times of the day when they like to do it and can even create rituals around how they do it. Some do it in complete silence while others like to listen to classical music of jazz. Some prefer to journal in the morning, and others at night. Regardless of what your preference is, the benefits of consistent journaling are overwhelmingly positive. Stay Organized Everyday by Using a Seed Paper Journal! While there are many options when choosing a journal that is right for you, Custom Earth Promos offers a customizable seeded paper journal that is totally customizable to fit your needs.

Selecting a journal can be just as personal as keeping one, and we strongly encourage you to into looking into ours whether you've been journaling your whole life or have never tried it before.

There is no doubt that owning a small business, especially in the current economy, is one of the most difficult things one can do. They face constant competition from larger corporate chains that can offer bigger discounts, a wider selection of products, and afford prime locations for their stores to attract as much business as possible. Years ago I was a barista at a coffee shop that was owned by a woman with an MBA, who had a great business plan and determination, but with a Starbucks down the street and the location at the back of a strip mall, she had to close her doors without even being open for a year. It was sad, but unfortunately a pretty typical story. With seemingly all the right things in place, her business was still no match for her local competitors. One area that she failed to invest money or time in was advertising. With the exception of a street sign that bore an area pointing towards the coffee shop, she did not get the word out that her business even existed, which I believe was a major contributing factor to its subsequent closing. Promote Your Eco-Friendly Business by Using Custom Business Cards! One of the easiest and least expensive ways that a business can get its name out there is through business cards. They're totally customizable with many different designs and shapes available and can be ordered in bulk to ensure that you always have enough to give out to potential clients and customers.

The next time you are looking for a way to get the word out about your business, consider ordering business cards from Custom Earth Promos.

One of my fondest summer memories from when I was younger was participating in the library's summer reading club, earning different prizes as I read more books. When my family couldn't afford to travel, I felt like I could go wherever I wanted through reading. My brother and I used to compete to see who could read more books, and at my library when I was ten my brother and I collectively read enough books to win a prize where we could each take one friend in a limo to go see a movie of our choice, all this from reading books. These summer reading contests ignited my life long love affair with reading, and even today I try to always be reading a book for pleasure. It greatly enhanced my reading comprehension, expanded my vocabulary, and exposed me to topics that I would have otherwise never known about had I not read about them in books. Leave some Promotional Custom Bookmarks at your Local Library! The first prize that we would always receive for our first book was a bookmark, with each prize becoming more extravagant as we would read more and more and reach new levels. Basic psychology shows that positive reinforcement like offering prizes to promote good behavior and habits, specifically reading, strongly reinforces the desire to continue the behavior. This is part of the reason that summer reading programs exist, to do what they did for me in helping to develop a life long love of reading. Whether you are a parent, owner of a business, or even work at a library, recycled custom bookmarks are always useful and whether you need them for promotional reasons, or even to use as prizes in a reading contest, they are always a great, low cost item to distribute.
