During my recent visit to the PPAI Expo in Las Vegas, I noticed a prominent trend in corporate apparel: STRIPES!
I discovered the pattern on t-shirts, tank tops, totes, and even pillows.
This stylish way to color block has seen resurgence in the consumer market, and, in its latest advancement, the movement has reached promotional apparel! With all of the innovative decorating techniques available, the popularity of stripes demonstrates how simple it is to promote your brand on an apparel medium other than a basic white t-shirt.
I am particularly in love with the Barbarian Rugby Hoodie. That’s right; a hoodie and rugby in one! This 100% cotton pullover can be embroidered with your logo and custom stripe preference, too! Made in Canada, from USA cotton, The Rugby Hoodie features all of the details of an original: the classic placket, rubber buttons and reinforced seams throughout. Think of the classic 1980’s shirt, but add a fresh, urban spin. Available in many color combinations, there is one to suit the needs of every brand!
Make sure to check out our entire selection of promotional apparel: we are constantly adding new styles for 2012!

It’s that time again… Time to wake up. The dreaded alarm goes off and the morning snooze button ritual begins.
Buzz. Reach. Snooze. Repeat.
Well at least that’s how my morning usually goes. And I must confess, it isn’t fun. The quality of sleep you get between every punch of the snooze button is not good. I’m no expert, but I suspect a sleep expert might recommend setting the alarm for the time you actually need to get up. (Again, just my gut assumption.)
Luckily there is a brand new promotional alarm clock on the market to put an end to this bad habit. And I must say, I can’t wait to get my hands on one of these little guys: the Tocky and the Clocky.

At Pinnacle, we hold a White Elephant Gift Exchange for our employees around Christmastime each year. Every employee that wants to participate brings in a wrapped present (we set the budget around $10 per gift, but you can instruct your guests to spend any amount of money, as long as it is standard across the board). The presents are organized in a designated area and left untouched until each participant has had the chance to pull a slip of paper with a number on it out of a hat; the count of numbers is based on the total number of gifts contributed to the game.
Once everybody has their number, the person who draws #1 can approach the gifts and choose one to unwrap. Then, the person who drew #2 can either “steal” person #1′s gift or bring a new gift into play by choosing one from the pile to unwrap. As the game continues, each player can choose to “steal” a gift that a previous player has unwrapped (up to 3 “steals” per gift, at which time it is considered out of play and remains with the third participant to “steal” it from its original owner) or select a new gift from the pool.
A few of the amusing gifts that made it into Pinnacle’s White Elephant Gift Exchange this year were:
-an entire set of mismatched dishes
-a statue of monkeys depicting the “See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil” saying
-a dragon incense burner
-several store giftcards
-a bag of 850 gumballs
-a book of “Awkward Family Photos”
-a giant remote control + VHS tape of “Saved by the Bell”
-bumble bee promotional stress ball
-and more!

Without fail, every time I put on my bathrobe, I let out a sigh of contentment. The cozy, safe feeling that comes along with settling into a roomy robe has to be universal- male, female, young, old; everyone should have the luxury of owning at least one robe.
Allow me to introduce you to the His and Hers Bathrobe.
