The holiday season has come and gone and we’ve jumped into a new year whether we were ready to say good-bye to 2009 or not. The dust has barely settled from the ball dropping in Times Square, but we’re already flying through January, which means one thing – Valentines Day is just around the corner! If you used up all of your creative gift ideas at Christmas, do not worry, we have so many Valentines-themed items to choose from. Whether you are putting together a sweet company event, memorable gift with purchase, designing a signature private label item, or planning a promotional give away, we have a plethora of stylish and innovative private label merchandise for Valentine’s Day. Not that we don’t all love another box of chocolates, but why not make an impression this year and go with something fresh and original? 
Hearts, the language of Amore:
Nothing says Happy Valentine’s Day like the perfect heart-shaped item, for example, promotional stress relievers, key chains, mirror compacts, and more. We have an entire section on our website dedicated to unique heart-shaped items where you can design a stylish imprint or company logo.
Red and Pink and Red All Over:
Customers often come to us with a particular color in mind. Our job is to find the perfect item for their event, gift, give away, etc. in that exact color. As you can imagine, Valentine’s Day is no exception, and red and pink are in high demand! Our site allows you to search by individual color, so tracking down the perfect pink promotional item is just a click away. Here are a few of our favorite promotional products in red and pink:
Outside the Box:
Or, if you want to step a little further outside of the box, there are many fun ideas available with jewels, animal prints, and funky designs.
So, if you are looking for the perfect item for a Valentine’s Day inspired corporate gift, marketing event, gift with purchase, promotional give away, or private label piece, go with something fresh and original this year. Be unique and innovative and steer clear of the typical Valentine’s Day items that everyone has seen before. Be bold and thoughtful – find an item that will make a statement and be truly treasured.

Customers always ask us for new product ideas that are innovative and will set their brand apart from the competition; after all, that’s what we do best. One of our most popular product lines that we always recommend is our neoprene line, especially our promotional BUILT NY and BYO items. Colorful, bright, and with delightful fabric pattern options, your logo will surely shine and the recipient will definitely not be tossing these to the side.
Neoprene is one of the most innovative materials right now, especially for bags, pouches, wine totes, and laptop sleeves. You’ve heard of it in the past, especially if you’re into surfing. It’s the same durable and protective material that keeps a surfer’s body warm while he’s out surfing – that’s right, it’s the material of his wetsuit! What makes neoprene so innovative is that it’s thick, washable, protective, and feels soft to the touch. It’s perfect for food and beverages because it holds temperatures for several hours, so your beer stays cold and your soups stay warm.
BUILT NY has a patent on their signature wine tote, so if you see a knock off elsewhere, I believe that’s patent infringement. They’ve also got a strong brand behind them, the designs are cool and funky, the stitching is perfect, and the material is always reliable – all the attributes that make promotional BUILT NY items an absolutely fall-in-love-with gift item! Seriously, it’s no wonder why BUILT has received rave reviews from Fortune Magazine, Oprah’s O Magazine, Better Homes & Gardens, New York Post, Parenting Magazine, Woman’s World, American Baby, Bon Appetit, Real Simple, and so much more.
By the way, if you love the BUILT line but find that it’s not quite in your budget, the BYO line may be your answer. The items are very similar to the BUILT line, minus the BUILT signature logo. Also, the BYO line is made with a slightly thinner material, so wine totes, for example, would stay cold for 2-3 hours, rather than 4 hours. No recipient really notices the thickness of the material, since the design, material, and construction are all still excellent. You’re pretty much missing the BUILT brand.
Contact us for BUILT NY corporate gift ideas. We can even do (FREE) virtual mock-ups so you can see your logo on any promotional BUILT NY product or custom imprinted BYO tote or bag. And if you already started surfing our website, no, you’re not seeing things! Many items only require a 12 or 24 piece minimum order.
BTW, our newest promo BUILT NY item that’s sure to win over busy students, travelers, or professionals is the Cargo Travel Organizer. It keeps credit cards and ID’s zipped up and protects PDAs, iPods, and cell phones. It’s also a perfect fit for a travel mouse, chargers, cords, adapters, usb flash drives, etc. Notice the ergo design for hands to comfortably grab and go. Yep, BUILT NY thinks of everything!

Welcome to the Femme Promo Blog! Our goal is to provide you with the most fashionable and innovative ideas all in one place, so you don’t have to dig through hundreds of websites to figure out what modern, stylish women are using in their daily lives and what products get them excited. We also hope to shed some light on your most common questions about custom manufacturing and the process of custom imprinting on our cool products. Please come back often as we frequently search the marketplace for new trends and designs, so you can expect new product features several times a month.
Last month, Dr. Oz launched his new, highly anticipated show, The Dr. Oz Show. During the first week of airing, Dr. Oz featured a segment about the germs that women carry around with them, right in their handbags! It was gross. Dr. Oz tested women’s handbags, especially our “favorite purses” which we use daily. The results were alarming – dangerous bacteria and fungus (ones that cause asthma, infections, and more) were found. The solution Dr. Oz offered was simple: use purse hangers (also known as purse hooks or handbag hangers)! If you’ve seen purse hangers before, you know how cool these little accessories are and how much attention they get from other women. Purse hangers are a couple of inches in size and quite slim. They fit easily into your pocket and definitely in a clutch or handbag, so you can carry them everywhere. Purse hangers are designed with a hook that swivels out to hang handbags underneath the table, keeping purses clean and safe from dangerous bacteria. (Our custom purse hangers hold bags up to 15-20 lbs. Most large purses only weigh around 3 to 5 lbs.)

Highly popular in Europe, these purse hangers have yet to reach such popularity in the U.S., making it a great opportunity for businesses and organizations to brand a logo and give away. Outside of the excited and positive feedback you’ll get from the recipient of these little stylish gifts, the fact that they are just starting to become popular means that most women don’t have them yet. Your gifts will be perceived as unique and highly innovative.
Other benefits: keeps light colored bags from getting dirty (especially on the bottom), allows users to always have a place to put their purse (ex: for those restaurants where the only place to put your purse is your lap), keeps bags within sight away from thieves (not just gross germs), and due to daily use, your logo would get great exposure to recipients wherever she goes. Hands down, our top selling item this year.
