Umbrella to shield from Financial fallout

The last few months of 2008 starting in September brought on the world's worst financial fallout due to credit loss of confidence in the whole and related banking sectors... from one thing to another... loss of motivation to trade, fear of poor and no return of investment. But human have a life to live and so will the event surrounding our immediate environs, be it family or work related. Recently, in December 2008, I had an opportunity to supply umbrella as a premium gift to an organisation for their anniversary day. I was to supply 500 pcs of umbrella with 2 colors and 2 logo thrown in. I got the contract and as a result, I got to work with an umbrella factory and I now represent them to those looking for an umbrella gift to shield one from the financial meltdown... it is a good omen.. call it a old luck charm where our forefather designed one to deter the natural sun ray and rainfall. So, it is a practical gift to your client although it may sounds an old idea as a give-away.

I can offer a minimum of about 250 pcs at S$5.50 each with 1 color printing and l logo design... printed on 2 panels, a 23inches hook handle... a choice of sun blocking basic cloth.

Not and many can offer such low quantity at this hypermarket price... Think on it... Use this as a premium gift this year.

Balloons for fun, art and decoration

A traditonal mean to do up a party is to brighten it up with balloons, It can plain simple as a bunch of various colors or one could create it with theme and objects in mind.

It may not be easy without the help of professional balloon artist... they learned the trade somehow and we have to pay them for their services. Or you could pick up the skill a little by little reading up books or scrutinize other balloon creation as to how it is

tied or linked up to form the structure... to hold in shape a tank, or to keep the bubble floating in the air. This article is written to kick start your interest in creating balloon art or as an add on decoration to a floral hamper... My motive is to sell you the balloons cos I am keeping stock of them in 2009. I got some 7 colours which could take on helium air or natural air... it can be

i
inflated to a size of about 9inches across... They come in a pack of hundred and costs S$6.00 per pack each. Think it is a good buy on this island here unless some merchants want to clear off their stock and burst his balloon market.
So, get them before they are sold out and start using them for a good and self-satifying use.

Strumming of guitars on Christmas day

Barbie Dolls toys to let go...

A feast of pictures here for the Barbie Doll fans here. I am not a retailer of Barbie Doll toys here. What I have are 4 sets of Barbie toys that my daughter wants to give up and have request me to offer it to

the highest bidder.

easier on the wallet.
TheThe toys consisted of a marroon coloured convertable car, a light blue beetle vollk lookalike, a fashion dresser and a Styling head which is my favorite as it have a lifesize head with flowing mare where you can practise your hair style and lay up whatever clips or hairband you got.
These 4 sets of toys goes at S$100 nett. Have them all at one go to start a collection for your child. Visit the site : www.crazyforbarbie.com which give advices on how to start that collection and things to watch out for.

A rectangle box to sum up gifts.

I did not take the picture of the 3 ladies in the box. I did think of how if I ever have to send 3 ladies as gift in a gift box. For now, I am occupied with sharing how commoner can send gifts in simple boxes.
I had illustrated here that these rectangle long box could be a viable box used to pack many gifts which you could buy but could not find a presentable box to present it to the receiver. I had packed a 185cc wine, a belt, a neck tie in 3 of these boxes. There could be other items that suit the box and the box which suit the gift and the occasions.

These boxes come with a matching coloured ribbons that brings out the uniqueness of a custom made box. It is oblong in shapes and comes in the size of 27cm long by 6cm width and the height depth of 6.5cm. A lots of stuff could fit this box.

It comes at a cost of S$4.50 per box and it is value for money to get a gift well presented. For those who intend to have a bulk order, please consult the author here for a better rate.
The colour choice for now are deep violet, pink,

maroon, silver and tan gold. A good range of colour to suit the

giver, receiver or the occasions temperament.

Big box for wines, toys and all...

A silver floral encraved gift box as showed here would have cost more than your bottle of wines... unless your gift is more precious than the floral box. So, let us be practical and send wines with a befitting gift box.

There is this floral printed white box with black floral motif printed on. It sits 2 bottles of most 750cc wine bottles ( Not for some wine bottles which are designed with longer neck). One can add in some cushioning foam or shredded wood chip to give that vineyard touch.

Hope I had not misled you to think these are for wine bottle only. You can put in a pair of shoes, a set of dress and shirt, an array of assorted gifts, teddy bear, fruits, stationary, toys... and the list goes on as long as you need such a big size box to hemp them in.

The next trick is that you go down to the stationary shop and buy a wide band ribbon roll and have this box ribboned up as a gift box. Choose a striking bright colour like blue, red, purple, gold etc to bring out the gift box classical floral look. It does look as grand as a silverware box due to the floral print which stand as a time tested design.

These box come in flat form and one can simply fold it into a box within a minute. Instruction diagram for folding is printed on underside of box. It consist of the bottom main box and a top cover. The formed box is 31cm x 22.5cm x 14.5cm height. It is the most cost effective box in its range considering the stuff one can put in. You can take it for $3.50each. Self collection if you are picking them up yourself. We can arrange delivery for order of 25pcs and above.

Square watermelon in a square box...

Square watermelon does not look normal as we think the norm is round... but Japanese farmers had cultivated it by popular and logical demand because it saves spaces in transportation, easier to store and stack... and customers find it easier to put in fridge and to cut it. It is also easy solution to grow it contrary to first response : HOW TO GROW A SQUARE MELON!" Just put it in a square box when it is growing is the solution.
So, being Square have an advantage. So we brought some square cube boxes which can multiply the effect of using as a costume jewellery box and a gift box for whatever stuff you can put it in. This is a good solution assuming your range of gift or product does not have a fixed form that specifically needs a box of certain shape and sizes.

These boxes are in dimension of 9cm x 9cm x 7cm height. Now available in 7 colours of Silver, Skyblue, Gold, Dark blue, Maroon, Indigo and the Pink in the foreground which showed the interior. The interior is also good stuff, laced with a white satin cloth, gifts are cushioned to give a coveted look. These boxes are also matched with a relative coloured ribbon on its cover to denotes a gift signage.
The price is also relatively sound at S$2.20/each. Consult this author if you need customise colour, bulk discount and printing of words on its cover. We will think of a solution just as the watermelon farmer done their.

Learn about Black Box...

Let me declare the coming few blog post will be on boxes...Gift boxes to be correct. The last 2 week, I had been receiving enquiries for boxes of all kind. I wondered what the occasions around this band, I hope I will remind myself to keep a record down the years to come to watch out for these period of the year to see if it is a recurring pattern... so I can write a thesis.
I had with me a black box to start with... The pilots are holding a black box retrieved from a crashed plane in the Amazon Jungle... The airplane black box is not black in color but painted orange for visibility. It is called black because no one knows the circuitry inside, neither do pilot wants to find out how it record their flight. The flight info tracking is done inside the black box which by itself have 3 layer of boxes, like a russian dolls, one box inside another box to keep it crashproof, shockproof, fireproof, and waterproof!
A few people had asked for gift boxes in Black... probably it show mystery and cool darkness??? I had with me a black gift box here which one can safely used as a ring box, pendant box, cuff- link, or anything that can go into this 6cm x 5cm x 3.5cm height box. Personally, I liked it because it is not in the usual rectangle, square, hearted shaped box commonly seen. It is a non-conformist box as its black colour may not go down went with conservative chinese amahs. The price is also a cooling S$1.00 each... to pay for the black textured finished paper. Stock is available till the seasons is over. This is not in orange colour like the real 'Black Box".
